Alright I have a working concept, but I'm NOT in the mood for anatomy so no full body.

I'm working primarily from Aztec mythology for our lovely pyromaniac, specifically Huitzilopochtli --- God of sacrifice, war, and the sun. He would transform into hummingbirds or hawks, so I'm thinking that's how Bellroc is going to spy on the group / Influence the war of Killahead since Bellroc takes a less primary role bc Skræl is the main antagonist.

They have two sets of arms, and a mastery of nearly all basic weapon types. They have a tail too bc a lot of art of Huitzilopochtli has a tail and I thought it'd be neat to add 😋

Another concept I'm thinking about is having their cloak of hawk and hummingbird feathers turn into a pair of wings, but I'm not sure if they'll keep their second pair of arms if that design moves forward as a primary.

Did their staff based off the Quetzalcoatl, but that's definitely prone to change.

Bellroc is able to master nearly any fighting style and technique, along with having quick thinking skills. They have particularly good control of their muscles, which makes their balance immaculate.

I might add some Hindu and Native American elements to their design in the future but for tonight I like what I have. Which, is not a lot, but it's better than nothing at all 👍

Doing research for Bellroc’s redesign right now. A few concept designs as well, might have some art to upload later tonight or tomorrow for all 3 people in the Trollhunters fandom 🫶

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...

Oh no Definitely Don’t click the link

Ever wanted to read the Trollhunters books but you can't even buy them because they've apparently been taken off the market and practically from existence? Spent weeks searching for online versions before eventually giving up?

Well don't click this link!

It has all of the trollhunters side adventure books as well as the two comics in easily accessible pdf form, so we wouldn't want that to spread! Definitely do not share with your friends!

These books have a lot of really interesting characters that don't appear in the series, and we absolutely don't want more people to know about them! A single person in the whole entire fandom making occasional fanart of them is enough!

Oh this is AMAZING!!!

ALSO Wait I Just Realized Something.

NOTENRIQUE.

He would be like Somewhere in the Range of 13-15 At that point right? Would The Trollhunters even Realize that he’s a Changeling??

If they went to go get Baby Enrique from the Darklands then what would their Cover Be For Notenrique (Assuming that he’s switched over to their side by that point)?

Actually on that Note how would they Explain Baby Enrique to People Not in the Trollhunters Circle? Accidental Baby Acquisition? Adoption? Would Claire Parent Him? Would She and Jim Co-Parent??

More on the topic of Merlin being a piece of shit

Merlin did expect Jim to be a teen. He said it himself. He said he’s been off by 14 years, which would, if we assume that it’s +14 years, and not that he expected Jim to be 2 yo, which would bring our boy to 30.

30!

Can you imagine the actual difference that would have made???

A 30 yo is an adult, with formed believes and some established achievements. A 30 yo finished high school, went to college, finished college, had a job, had a long-term relationship, maybe even lived apart from his mother, basically someone who already has some sort of personal individual existence. A 30 yo is fully responsible for his decisions, or at least should be. A 30 yo has life experiences to fall back on.

A 16 yo has none of that.

And Merlin understands that. Merlin makes a choice for him, knowing full well that this child with anxiety and issues and a protector complex will do as planned if the pressure is applied in all the right places. Which is exactly what he did.

Honestly, I need a fic where James Lake Jr, a 30 yo man who works at a local high cuisine restaurant and also is part-time Home Ec teacher at Arcadia High who, on the way to school in the morning discovers the amulet.

I need his gf, who he lives with, the leading actress of the town’s troupe, to be strangely concerned for him picking glowing stuff on the street.

I need his best friend, the headliner of the Arcadia Radio Station, to be convinced that Maybe We Should Not Talk About This On The Radio.

I want Jim in the teacher’s lounge at 10 am drinking bad coffee and making fun of Strickler cause “Man, you must really age well, since you look EXACTLY the same as you did when you taught me history. You are what, sixty now?”

I want Barbara, the head of the clinic, asking Jim over dinner if he is ever going to marry that girl, because it looks like the two of them are pretty damn ready for that. She is not asking for grandchildren, that’s their deal, but it’s been a while since she has been to a nice wedding.

And most importantly, I want Jim to look Merlin in the eye and tell him to fuck off.

I NEED

OKAY, I HAVE A HOT TAKE:

They were so hard on Jim bc of a few reasons:

1) he is a child, most trollhunters weren't chosen until they were adults, so having a child be chosen is shocking. Would you trust the fate of the world to a child? Cause I know I wouldn't. I'd even be iffy on someone in their 20s.

2) he's a human, yes the amulet was made by Merlin, a magical human, but it was made for the trolls, to be used by trolls(more or less). To see something that is so highly praised and protected be wielding by someone who is part of a group that tried to kill off/enslave ur entire species IS unsettling and upsetting. Regardless of that person's true intentions.

However, this is where I think my opinion is a bit controversial, Jim wouldn't have succeeded if not for his friends. Troll culture is very much, "do it yourself" and doesn't exactly praise brains or teamwork when it comes to their warriors. Jim always had his friends, and tried to make friends with his enemies- even giving them second chances(which from the troll perceptive is seen as weakness or pitying). He worked as a group, and it was shown that when he split off and tried to do things himself, he ended up getting in over his head or nearly killed, to which his crew would then show up and aid him. The amulet was never met for just one person to wield. It was meant for a group, for the leader to wear. It's no different than a crown or a rank. Like the Matrix of Leadership from Transformers. It marks who is best to lead at that time, not who's best to protect, and definitely not meant to be used alone.

The reason the others failed where Jim succeeded was bc of the people who he loved and the ones who loved him.

bruh~ finished Tales of Arcadia: Wizards yesterday and please lets talk about this cuties~ I saw them and my first thought was, SHE is the big sister that Jimbo needs!
