I Love How Everyone Is Pissed At The Ending Of RotT But Ive Barely Seen Any Posts About Jim Not Saying ‘I

How the hell?!?!?? Its soo good wtf!

Tales of Arcadia art from a year ago

Sighs. Okay yeah i have thoughts about cgi toothless.

First of all, why does he look so... slimy? He feels too smooth. Like they just stretched some scaly skin over a skeleton and let it walk around. Immediately offputting.

His body language is. Fine? Am i being nitpicky or does it seem just the tiniest bit less expressive? I'm guessing this is either the scene right after hiccup cuts him free, in which case he should be way more intimidating, or the fish-sharing scene, in which case he should feel a little friendlier and more curious around hiccup. It's a quick shot so i won't put a ton of expectations onto it, but i think it's worth noting.

Okay this is a legitimately cool detail though. He has a secondary eyelid!! You can see it slipping away when he opens his eyes. That's a detail exclusive to the books so i like that they included something as small as that.

Sighs again. And this is the shot that prompted me to make this post.

Look at the original, and then look at the cgi version. I could write an essay about how inferior the cgi version is in comparison.

First off, they flattened his face. I swear every iteration of night furies after the first movie has just been compressing their snouts until they're sufficiently 'cute' enough for the audience to forget they're supposed to be sleek and aerodynamic.

Second, his eyes. Absolutely radioactive. I understand using a brighter colour for his eyes, especially in a relatively darker environment to make him stand out and seem more fantastical. But. They're just so bright. It's mildly unsettling how saturated they are compared to everything else.

Third, his eyes. Again.

Toothless is supposed to be terrified but still threatening in this scene, and the original shot conveys that perfectly. If it's a threat, then by all means hiccup should kill it or at least run, but instead he draws a connection between both of them being scared of the other and decides to cut him loose instead. And that's the core of their relationship. Toothless is staring him down with a slitted pupil that could just as easily be interpreted as "fuck around and find out" but hiccup just acknowledges that there's a frightened, injured animal in front of him that needs help, and he helps.

Is any of that conveyed in the cgi version? No!! It's trying so hard to be cute that it's gone full circle back to just being scary. The wide-eyed stare, the dilated pupil, he's basically just saying "🥺🥺 uwu pwease i'm so cute and innocent don't kill me aha 👉👈". Which is a lot less of a compelling reason for hiccup to free him!! Plus the fact that toothless turns up to look at him instead of lying and accepting his fate like in the original, which only makes it seem even more like he's trying to show off how apparently adorable he is.

Idk. Just the difference between the in-your-face sanitised cuteness of "teehe you wouldn't kill little old me would you? 🥺" and the expert subtlety of his "please don't hurt me" of the original doesn't give me high hopes for a toothless that stays true to his character from the first movie. Even from something as small as this. He's gonna get woobified. I can feel it.

here I am, this is me, there’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather be

This is one of the best Ive ever seen.

Jorge always makes the best funny parts!! 😂😂😂😂

Damn his smile 😍😍😍 my heart can't take it anymore

A small edit I created in honor of this 5 years of Trollhunters! I decided to do one for all the shows because it’s a way to start the party wooo!! Happy birthday Trollhunters.

Also on my channel Twentysixlibby!

Just ‘nother Tales of Arcadia dump with a bunch of sketches I hadnt posted before. Some post-Wizards Jlaire fluff, some doodles of my personal Changeling Jim AU, some Excalibur Jim, and the only two Jimtobers I could finish LOOOOL (the Blinky one is based on a comment Aaron made of Blinky (and Claire I think?) homeschooling Jim while on their trip to New Jersey :’) )

Man I wanna make more of these. I’ve been in such a hardcore Jlaire mood lately especially with the release of RoTT so imminent this year ToT

You stupid trolls don’t deserve a trollhunter. Especially Jim.

I am fully convinced if Jim died,  like three or four trolls would give a shit. They really don’t deserve Jim or any trollhunter who died for them.

Has Jim not done enough and sacrificed enough for them?  He saved them from Bular and he’s trying to save them from Angor Rot and  Gunmar (and he will save them). Yet, they still treated him like dirt throughout the entire show.

Jim should have rejected them. There, i said it.

Soooo cuteeeee
