This is the newest one I have done with these two it might be a bit trashy but it's my trash and I love it :>

Capa para a fanfic “Tales of Arcadia - Another Tale” escrito por Mafuyuchii (vulgo eu -qq) para a seção de Contos de Arcadia, fanfic com foco nos personagens Hisirdoux Casperan, vulgo aprendiz de mago e emo boy, e na minha OC Arthuria Pendragon, vulgo herdeira do trono e seu primeiro amor.

Fiz essa fanfic no surto com minha amiga e agora que tá com umas 70 páginas de história escrita (que eu só fui mandando para ela -qq) a gente decidiu por postar, mesmo eu sabendo obviamente que vai flopar um pouco, não resisti de fazer uma edit bacana para essa fanficzinha que virou meu xodózinho secreto que agora não vai ser tão secreto assim :3

E sim, eu não sou experiente capando para wattpad, a capa para spirit tá incrivel ai chega a do wattpad dá para ver claramente que alguma coisa de errada não está certa (ou é surto meu -qq) mas sei lá, curti a do wattpad não, mas vida que segue c:

E sim, essa capa foi feita utilizando photoshoots de cosplayers incríveis, o cosplayer de Hisirdoux se chama Narnian.Neverlander e a de Anna (que é como eu imaginei a aparência da Arthuria na minha fanfic :v) se chama @thedanishlupin não deixem de seguir e admirar ao trabalho desses cosplayers incríveis.

Personal rating for the Tales of Arcadia series;

Trollhunters: 10/10

Literally the best, I am in love with every characters and how the story unfolds)

3Below: 9/10

I love this one even tho I wish they show more characters from Trollhunter 🥹 where's my girl Nomura 😞😞 Also love the topic of racism that is shown subtly (not really in that one ep)

Would have loved it more if Strickler continued his job at Arcadia academy in his changelings form 👀 (although maybe with lots of unexpected babies in hands, he decided to be the househusband while Barbara goes to work)

Wizards: 6/10

Hrm I am going to be honest, it feels rushed when the last ep of 3Below immediately jumps into Wizards. DEFINITELY should have more than one season only. I think that they should probably have started this one with Jim and the trolls' journey to News Jersey and how they got attacked, just like they did with 3Below on the first season.

Not really to my liking, but I love seeing Morgana's character and her corruption arc.

I am just confused on why they made Arthur working with the Arcane order, like did he get brainwashed or he just really chose it consciously? Not really clear to me 😔

I also wanted to see more of Jim and Draal like the angst potential??

(Currently watching Wizards: Tales of Arcadia)

Arthur makes my blood boil, like " magic took everything from me again " SIR YOU WERE THE ONE WHO CUT OFF YOUR SISTER'S HAND???

Also can you imagine how kind Angor Rot used to be??? During the times where humans and trolls hate and fight each other??? For him to carry Morgana out of the water and wish her peace in resting?? He could've left her there and be on his way but he didn't. He literally deserves better 😭

It's pretty funny to see the ToA Fandom lose their shit over Jim changing back to human when,, we are here just chillin, not caring whether he's this or he's that,, does it matter, my guys??

NotEnrique will always be my favorite character

"There's lot about me you don't know."

Oh, canon Skrael, how I both hate and love you.

Beautiful art OP🫶

Skrael

Skræl's design is final, so I decided to finally start the work on Concepts for Nari, the eldest of the Arcane Order.

I'm still not completely happy with any of these, and none have made the cut to be finalized.

I want Nari to have way more Troll features. Maybe a Dryad or Spriggan can act as a very, very faint inspiration, but I'm mostly going to start referencing Medieval paintings of animals like lions or dragons from now on.

Still, I did art relating to Trollhunters, so it's getting posted.

Individual close-ups.

I was poking around in the Rise of the Titans tag to find a specific prediction for the film when I stumbled upon this.

Jim could have been a Changeling???

And they scrapped it?????

Oh, this is definitely going into my Au.

Everyone could have had it all. Claire's magic was meant to make him a new type of changeling that did not have/need a familiar...

Digitalized and colored version of my version of Skræl! I started him a while back and finally finished coloring this idiot.

I still haven’t watched the Dragon Prince, but I’ve been seeing a lot about this Aaravos character. Got spoiled and learned his backstory + Leola’s backstory and I gotta say, I’m going to use that “ocean of tears” plot point for Skræl after he’s released from his eternal crystal imprisonment.

Y'know how I said I was taking a break from Trollhunters?

I lied.

Anyways send asks about anything you want to know about my Au for the Arcane Order. I need to get back into their lore and answering questions seems fun.

Asks are almost always open to things about my various interests.

The more and more I rewatch Wizards I just keep noticing how much more screen time Skræl gets in the series rather than the movie where he's one of the two antagonists, the same goes for Bellroc and Nari. They all get more time to be a bit more expressive then they do in Rise of Titans.

Yes, we get to see Nari angry and being badass in the Earth vs Ice Titan fight, but we see the same thing (less of a focus) in the Killahead battle when she's kicking the Camelot Knights asses.

I will never be able to stop rambling about how much missed potential the Arcane Order had, they were so cool for what? 😭

Something random I've noticed during my rewatch of Wizards:

There's quite a few cutaways that feature little scenes with Skræl.

At the battle of Killahead when Morgana appears, the scene cuts to Skræl for a split second before returning to the fight.

When the Arcane Order attacks Camelot in the first episode, during the little "introduction" to Bellroc and Skræl, the camera focuses on Skræl before returning to the attack.

In the final episode, when the Arcane Order discards Arthur's helmet, the camera focuses on Skræl before cutting away again.

There's probably more but these are the three I remember clearly.

If only Wizards had the same run-time as 3below 😭 We could have had so much more content and character development with another season

Get suspended in a stasis crystal, loser

Alright alright!, here we go!

(Long, long text post after the cut)

First things first, lore time!!

All of this may change overtime as I make adjustments and figure out finer plot details, so don't take everything for being set in stone.

Anyways, my story for the Arcane Order is WAY different than the canon version we were given.

Beginnings

Starting with the main cast, Skrael, Bellroc, and Nari are given a bit of a different dynamic than shown in the show. Instead of just being a vague group of primordial wizards, they were born from the earth itself. Evolution plays out as it does in the modern science books, with the different eras and ice ages. The earliest plant life began about 460 million years ago, that is when Nari first appeared. Nari created new forms of life over a very long stretch of time, including the earliest forms of dinosaurs, and watching those dinosaurs evolve on their own. When they are wiped out by an asteroid, however...

That is when the second Arcane Order member would appear, around the end of the Cretaceous period about 66 million years ago. The recovery period afterwards is when Bellroc comes into the picture for the Arcane Order. They appear while the smaller mammals and rodents are running around and scavenging, trying to survive. (This is where they get their skull headpiece---It's a runt giganotosaurus skull! ((might change to be a juvenile allosaurus skull as well, or a Utah raptor))). From here on Bellroc is just kind of... there. They live throughout history until we get to about... 2 billion years ago.

2 billion years ago is when the first Ice Age began! Which means, you guessed it, Skræl appears! Before this time, however, Bellroc and Nari had grown into a siblings-like bond, with Nari guiding and helping Bellroc around the powers they now wielded.

They hadn't really been meddling in creation very much up to the point that Skræl appears, but afterwards, they start steering the course of the Earth, which includes the beginning of the human race. This is a post for another day, so let's just skip to the part that focuses the most on Skræl!

Skræl's lore / his role in humanity

From here, the timeline can get a bit muddy, since the Inuit and Norse and Norwegien groups of humans I have inspired his looks and lore from appear at about the 13th century, meanwhile toa Wizards dates the Killahead War at the late 12th century. I ask you ignore this hiccup in my storyline, please and thank you!

Anyway, Skræl had taken a liking to the humans who were choosing to live in his harsh arctic environment, specifically the several different Eskimo peoples, which include but are not limited to the eight Inuit groups (credit to this site for the information): The Labradormiut (Labrador), Nunavimmiut (Ungava), Baffin Island, Iglulingmuit (Iglulik), Kivallirmiut (Caribou), Netsilingmiut (Netsilik), Inuinnait (Copper) and Inuvialuit or Western Arctic Inuit (who replaced the Mackenzie Inuit).

Starting with his name, Skræl took his name off of the term that the Old Norse and Icelandic people had for the Inuit tribes, skrælingi or plural skrælingjar. From before this point, Skræl had just been referred to as North Wind by the other members of the Arcane Order and by any mortal/magical creature who knew of him. He chose to be referred to as a male a long time ago as well, simply to ensure that there wasn't much confusion amongst the humans whom he was spending more and more time watching and messing with.

Skræl had been meddling with humans for a very long time, since the first Ice age, and all of the time afterwards that there were ever any humans in his Arctic environment. He had taught the humans many different skills, and was sometimes worshipped alongside other deities by the Old Norse.

He often met with at least one or two elders of an Inuit group every few generations simply to talk and see them off into the next life. (Energy and souls can be reincarnated in my version of Trollhunters, which will leave interesting story options open for future use).

Because of Skræl's open enjoyment of the human race, you can see how I'm setting up the Killahead battle and the way he will react to being asked to meddle with such an important and fragile battle for balance. But that's for later.

Skræl's design inspiration

There are several different observable things to talk about in his design, so lets start with his head dress: the walrus skull.

The reason I decided upon a walrus skull rather than one of a caribou or mammoth or any other great beast is because of the Inuit legend of Sedna, the sea goddess. In the legend, Sedna has her fingers cut off, which then become all of the sea creatures of the oceans, which include things like whales, seals, and walruses. Before this legend came around, though, Skræl had been wearing a scimitar cat skull instead. He switched to a walrus to be more connected to the Inuit.

The second part of his design is his "cloak", which is really just a standard Inuit fur coat that has been cut down the middle like a jacket, and thrown over his shoulders like a cloak. He doesn't wear it like the mortals would because he, as a god, doesn't need to worry about freezing to death. I also just wanted an excuse to show off his tattoos, which may or may not be added. (I still have to find some good and credible resources and references to the meanings behind chest and arm tattoos for the Inuit, so only his face has any right now in the final art I've done for him. the only reason he's kept the two lines across the face is because they **allegedly** mean that he has killed a rather large or memorable whale).

The third part is his pants, which are the common pants of a Norwegian / Viking trousers. They are tied at the waist with rope and wooden/bone beads, because Skræl is just extra like that. The shoes/'shin guards' are also typical boots for Viking age Norwegians *according to my sources*, but I cut them off at the ankle so that he can be bare foot in the snow like the little maniac he is.

Speaking of little, I made him so much larger than he is in the cannon. Skræl stands at about 5'6" when standing up straight, and he's bigger physically, but still extremely lean. He has more of the native features of an Inuit (referenced from old photos off Google).

In a previous ask I sent to @ssiggss, I said that he has braids beneath the hood and skull, but now I'm not sure if I want him to be bald or not. Probably not, just to go the easy route, since I can barely draw loose hair as it is.

He has those little itsy bitsy horns on his head still, too. No lore reason, I just liked them in his canon design.

Skræl (and Bellroc's role) in the battle of Killahead, and a tease at the rest of the story!

Nari is the one who calls the Arcane Order together to discuss the issue of the balance within her domain, and urges them for help. Bellroc and Skræl are don't really agree with the idea of meddling in such a big event, considering they didn't help any of the other previous civilizations during things like the Ice Ages, Aztec empires, or natural disasters like Pompei.

They decline her request, and leave the Wild Wood.

Immediately, Nari is pissed off and tells them to help, but they still decline. Nari gives Morgana her power to be the Mother of Monsters, and meddles in the battle herself.

And then Skræ; and Bellroc disappear...

...until the time of Merlin's death.

Wizards X JJK

another redraw

so ever since watching Wizards and RotT I've been deep in the rewrite/AU rabbit hole and decided to actually write my ideas down instead of just having them float around my mind

This is what I'd imagine a sort of magic hierarchy would've been like, created in central europe amd spread around the whole world during colonial times, i'd say magical creatures went into hiding around the same time as not to be used as instruments of violence basically

I'm also changing the dynamics between the Camelot characters & what the fantasy-political climate of the time was like

So for anyone willing to decipher my fugly ass hand writing, here are my surface level notes on what i'm changing the character dynamics into:

I've also been playing around with character designs, because - and please noone take this personally - i absolutely loathe what some character look like, especially the characters in Wizards, like, ugh... Armor design isn't my strong suit but maaan... Also, can I just say that Morgana looks whack af?? Like, girl's NOT from medieval times - not saying that my design is much better on that front, but it's not like this is my job or anything, i don't get paid for this, it's just for fun

I also changed Merlin, to... maybe smth more generic, but idk i like long, flowing fabrics and long haired old men, sue me

Additionally I've been taking notes on how I'd characterise the Arcane Order as I am not a fan of their treatment in canon

Bellroc is by far my fave of the Arcane order to think about, so i've got the most notes on them

I'm probs gonna be updating my notes on them as I go, but these are to serve as my personal guidelines on how to write them

I've also got these dumb doodles, the one on the left was done in the middle of the night while i was taking notes on the arcane order, the other ones were just character design exploration

80 Days of Douxie: A Countdown to ‘Rise of the Titans’ ⇝ [Day 19]

If Nari was ever in a pokemon phase.

Boop. Douxie apartment layout

Douxie would have to clutch his damn wallet.

Being a pokemon fan is expensive, and Douxie knows that. He was one back in the day..3 years ago. So luckily Douxie has a 2ds and 3ds and maybe some kinda game boy to give her.

Nari would always pick the grass type starter. And definitely have a plush of every grass type starter and a fair lot of Pikachu plush too. Nari relates to Grookey on a personal level.

She would get cute fire and ice type pokemon and name them after Bellroc and Skrael. Speaking of which, if Nari tugs on Bellroc's arm and says "Watch this evolve!" They will, they don't have any idea what there watching but they'll watch it. Skrael on the other hand would pretend like he's not interested in Nari's pokemon gaming, but look intently every time he walks past her, and definitely gets a bit emotional when she says she named a pokemon after him. Nari would buy (use Douxie's money to buy) Bellroc and Skrael fire and ice pokemon plushies and cards.

Every morning, Nari would get up first. And all anyone would hear in the living room at 6am would be "~I wanna be the very best, like no one ever waaas~" coming from the tv. She would binge the entire pokemon anime from kanto to galar. And despite being disappointed when ash was replaced, she did perk up when she heard about a little grass cat being the main characters starter.

They already had a switch. So all Douxie's had to do was buy the games. Nari made- I mean, nicely convinced Douxie to get pokemon go on his phone, and suddenly her screen time with Douxie's phone tripled.

And finally, she made Douxie buy a Jesse and James outfit for her and Skrael, and dress Archie up as meowth.

The Shower Temperature (Short story)

Here's my au layout so it's easier to imagine.

-Insert the sound of the shower being turned on, followed by Douxie's screams of pain-

The order arr all sat on the sofa, and they all hear the screams. Nari turns her head as the speed of light, with a worried look on her face. Bellroc also looked over, but they're facial expression didn't change. Skrael didn't look to where the sound had come from, instead he chuckled to himself.

Douxie then came out of the bathroom, with a towel around his waist, visible burn marks all over his body, he yelled over to the order "Can someone please explain to me why the water from the shower was as hot as the freaking sun?!". Nari didn't answer, but she ran over to Douxie to inspect his wounds.

Skrael was surprisingly the first to speak up, he said "Well, we all know that only one person here can withstand that temperature~", as he stared up to Bellroc. Nari also looked back once Skrael said this, clearly also thinking that Bellroc was the one who left the temperature that high.

Bellroc still remained unfazed, and calmly responded with "I suppose that everyone is going to ignore the fact, that Skrael has been going in only to come out seconds later with a grin on his face, only after someone announces that they are going in there." And then they added "Also I turn the temperature down after every time I use it." Then they looked down at Skrael.

Then Douxie and Nari followed Bellroc's gaze, as they all looked at Skrael. Skrael looked back at them and replied with "What? I didn't do anything". Everyone kept staring. "Seriously, I didn't!". Everyone continued to stare at him. "FINE! I did it! I just everyone thing that Bellroc made a mistake for once." Then he turned to Bellroc and said "I swear, I will wait patiently for the day in which you make a mistake, you will one day I'm sure of it! And I'll never forget it!" Then he walked out of the room. Nari walked over to Bellroc and asked "How many mistakes have you have again?" Bellroc replied with "Exactly 356,107 times." And then Nari asked "And how many have you made him forget through hitting him in the head?" And Bellroc answered with "I can not be bothered repeating that entire number again."

How Trollhunters made me terrifed of Highschool. (A Life story)

Ahem hello world, no I am not dead. Now thats out of the way:

Here is how Trollhunters planted a fear in my head before I went to highschool. For those who don't know i'm currently 16. Which means I am now in my final year of Highschool, But it also means i've had this fear for around 6 years and now it's comeing true.

What is this fear you ask? How does it link to trollhunters? I'll tell you.

Do any of you remember that one episode where Jim has to turn small to catch a gnome? And in the process, miss a day of school and miss being there to a spanish exam? Well I remember it well.

And no, my fear isn't missing a school test. But it is to do with learning a forgien language. Back when i watched trollhunters for the first time, I was learning Spanish in my Primary school. And i hated it. I just couldn't memerise anything that was said but hey i was 9 or 10 soooo. Moving back to the episode.

Jim's exam was a speaking exam. A freaking speaking exam. My little mind couldn't handle the fear of having to 1) Speak infront of anyone at school. And 2) Speak in a language that isn't English.

So the fear of one day having to do it stuck in my mind all that time. And it made me scared that once i'm in a highschool i would have to do that exam.

Time passes. And i was put into a class to learn German. Do i like German? No. Did i get a choice? Hahahaha no. No i DID not. Anyway so that fear climbed it's way back to the front of my mind. And stayed there.

And ALSO i only stayed in that class because i "Knew how to do the work that one else did" WELL TEACHER, MABYE THAT'S BECAUSE THE ANSWERS WERE ON THE BACK OF THE BOOKLET AND NO BODY ELSE BOTHERED TO NOTICE!. Ahem. So now i'm stuck not only doing German, but the harder course. I barley understood the normal course.

And you guessed it, I have to do a speaking exam before i leave the school. And it's the thing i've been dreading since i was young.

So yea, thats my story. If i'm still hear by the time i finish school i'll tell the story of how it went. BUT until then. I will just be thinking of how everytime i rewatched that one trollhunters episode i got shivers before i even got into highschool, all because of the speaking exam.

Cya next time!
