OKAY WOW wizards was so so good, and i can’t wait to see what’s next for our champions of arcadia!!

but the last shot of the whole team (minus douxie, nari, and archie) ending with jim hugging claire and looking up at the sword, which becomes focused in the foreground......i have thoughts

now we know throughout all of trollhunters, we were given a whole lot of sword-and-the-stone imagery with jim. i know there’s a very good deep dive post with explanations on mythology and references in the show by @cookiesaddict, but i’d really like to give my two cents so please hear me out,,

i remember AT LEAST two instances where the sword in the stone imagery and jim jumped out at me:

1) when he first discovered the amulet and is playing around with the sword in his backyard, and the sword gets stuck in a large rock. he pulls the sword out of the rock:

and

2) in the unbecoming episode, when he chooses to fight gunmar without the amulet, knowing he’ll die. there’s a sword in draal’s back, and jim pulls the sword out of the stone of draal’s back before beginning to walk out and face the fight:

at the end of wizards, excalibur is left without a weilder with arthur dead, but claire and douxie both suggest that it needs a new weilder. claire says, “who better than our trollhunter?”

so jim tries:

and he fails.

and you know what he says? he says, “but without the amulet, am i the trollhunter?”

which i think is an interesting thing to hear, considering the fact that one of the places that we see the sword in the stone imagery IS the unbecoming episode, in which jim comes to the realization that he is the trollhunter, amulet or not. even when given the choice to live a normal life, even without his friends by his side, even without the amulet ever having belonged to him - he knew he was the trollhunter.

so what changed?

well. a whole lot did. the unbecoming episode happens in part 2 of trollhunters, and in part 3 jim makes the ultimate decision to become part troll. it’s a huge thing for him to deal with emotionally, even knowing that it’ll help him defeat gunmar and save arcadia. he moves away from home, and in wizards, he’s corrupted by arthur - which, i think, was what snapped the last straw. becoming corrupted - making the choice to become corrupted (even when it was to save his friends) - that is what i think truly destabilized jim.

all of trollhunters, jim faced what it meant to be a hero, what it meant to be the savior of trolls and humans alike. his identity came to revolve around the hero he was; it’s what helped him through the change from human to troll - that knowledge that he was doing it for his friends, for his city. but of all the things jim went through, never did he ever hurt his friends directly because of the mantle he undertook. but arthur and the arcane order changed that.

they took his amulet, they took his body, and they took his soul. and they used it all to hurt his friends. they turned him from a hero to a villain, and it was all so easy for them.

so yeah, jim looks like he’s back to normal as his human self - maybe a bit scratched up, but overall unharmed. but the psychological effects of being used as a weapon against the people you care about most? that doesn’t go away easily. that changes how you look at your relationships, your life, your identity.

and maybe he doesn’t really realize it now, maybe that’s why he said it the way he did - “without the amulet, am i still the trollhunter” - because he was feeling a lot of things and cited the physical manifestation - the destroyed amulet - of his trauma as the reason he may not be worthy.

i can’t pretend to know everything about the original sword in the stone mythology - all i really know was what was in the show - so i don’t know exactly how one may prove themself to be worthy. but i do think that as of the end of wizards, jim doesn’t think that he himself is worthy - of excalibur, of the trollhunter title, of being a hero. he betrayed his friends’ loyalty - against his will, yes, but that’s most definitely how he sees it as. and what kind of friend betrays their friends? what kind of hero betrays their friends?

so jim is in a dark place. (again.) but i have hope.

in the unbecoming episode, we get this shot when jim decides to stand up and fight, amulet or not:

and at the end of wizards, after jim fails to pull out excalibur, we get this shot:

yes the compositions of the two shots are different, but i can’t help but feel the shot in wizards was intended to be a parallel of the shot in unbecoming. and even if it wasn’t, it’s still eerily similar in a way that i can’t ignore.

both shots have jim, and a sword looming in the foreground, almost as if they’re watching jim. i think they could be considered as physical representations of choice and heroics; the sword in draal’s back represents jim’s choice to become the trollhunter and excalibur, i believe, represents to jim what it means to be a true hero, something that toa has established anyone can be as long as they strive to triumph in the face of fear, but it’s something he may feel as though he lost. and yet, he still looks at the sword.

in the unbecoming shot, he has already made his choice. in the shot from wizards, he is only just beginning to consider the choice again.

after wizards, jim will be at a crossroads - there is no amulet, and, at least for a moment, no apocalyptic threat nearby. he’ll need time to go home, find himself, face what it means for him to be a hero.

and i think jim will forgive himself for the actions against his friends that he couldn’t control and, just as he did in unbecoming, make the decision to have courage in the face of his own fears, to be a hero, amulet or not. and only then, i think, will he be worthy to weild excalibur.

kreli and hammerhack GOOD

reblog this if you believe trans men are real men like this if you dont

So many people were like "Moppet Douxie was dumb" no he wasn't! The way he acted stems from having no self-esteem. He has been judged, belitled all his life! He was never praised, his ideas were deemed terrible, his musical talent wasn't noticed! Whenever he tried practicing the lute, he was immediately shut down by Merlin. He was shy, nervous, nobody ever told him to believe in himself! That's why his magic was so chaotic because magic is emotion and he was feeling insecure! The charming Douxie we all know and love, the one who's confident and isn't afraid to speak his mind, yeah that happened after Merlins sleep. Only after Merlin was in the tomb he had to make his own choices, defend himself, was able to make new experiences, which let him to become more comfortable with himself.

Steli (or stelija) on an outdoor date??

it seems like all i’ve been posting was cursed shit lately, how about i relieve y’all with some cute wholesome cloudgazing shit instead?

Reblog if you're black tumblr.

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.

i know that “don’t harass people for being weird, they might be autistic!” is a fairly popular take on here. but as a Certified Autist, i’d like to add that harassing allistic and/or neurotypical people for being weird is also bad, and should not be done

and before you come in with “yeah, you never know who is and isn’t autistic, and you shouldn’t force people to out themselves!” i want to say two things: one, i agree. and two, even if you could magically avoid ever harassing a single autistic person, it still wouldn’t be okay to go after NTs for being weird. they’re people, janice. they’re allowed to be really invested in naruto

Being in a tiny fandom is always being stuck between “I wish more people knew about this thing” and “I know exactly what problematic elements of the story and annoying discourse topics are going to consume the fandom if more people find out about this thing”

claire walking up to talk to jim at auditions like two minutes after getting his name wrong

One thing I am grateful for about the ToA Fandom is that they don't sexualize the kids, or tolerate it for that matter.

Like on TikTok or any other social media, it's so uncomfortable to see people constantly apply adult-themes (particularly sexual) to 14-16 year olds; such as bondage references, dom/sub stuff, and just other weird shitz. This is most prevalent in the mlb fandom, where lot of them defend it by saying that they're also minors and that the characters aren't real-- as if that makes it any better.

Light it up, Blue! happy autism acceptance month, don’t support autism speaks!

Ahaa so if you are anything like Julian from Barbie Princess and the Pauper, hmu

I want to try something...

Reblog if you think that it’s entirely possible to have a loving romantic relationship without sex.

(I mean, obviously it is, but I want to see others opinions.)

My family makes fun of me because I prefer to have captions on while watching shows/movies, even though I'm not hard of hearing. It just helps me to 100% comprehend what's going on.

And then they ask me if I would want captions when talking to real people, and its like-- yea that would be pretty nice actually 💃

“Dioramas” by Ronan-Jim Sevellec 

I can smell these pictures

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

1.) The Sound of Music

2.) Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

3.) Cinderella (2015)

4.) Alice in Wonderland (2010)

this is going around twitter rn but im also super curious: please tell me your top four comfort movies that you’re always down to watch bc my friend thinks mine are ridiculous and now we’ve realised everyone’s version of “comfort” is hilariously different
