Hey there! I'm a Wings of Fire youtuber and I'm just dropping in to say I'm so excited for this show! Will you be at the Phoenix fanwing fest this Sunday? I'd love to meet you along with Tui!
Very cool! Alas, I can’t make it to the Phoenix FanWing Fest this year — but I hope to make it next year!
Since a few folks are curious, TV animation often takes a surprisingly long time.
From development to greenlight to production to post usually lasts years, as everything from scripts to character designs to environments, style, editing, music and FX are meticulously created from scratch!
Sometimes for this reason, it means even a show’s very existence is kept secret for quite a while.
For instance, we nearly finished writing the entire 52 episode run of Trollhunters for Netflix before it was even announced. Followed by another year or two of production to finish them all!
Hi, Aaron! Does Douxie eat toothpaste? 😭😭
There was a full year after Douxie became immortal where he ate nothing but toothpaste, just to see what would happen.
By the end, he smelled like an air freshener and swore he could talk to pine trees.
Hii Aaron!! Recently i got my bsf addicted into tales of arcadia (lmao) and he asked me something that now i’m very curious too. How does the anatomy of trolls works? Are they 100% stone like their organs too? Or Is it a different material inside???
PS. WE LOVE YOUR WORK
The writers room decided that as magical creatures, they would exist with their own biological rules. They are made of “living stone” that is sustained by energy from Heartstones, but seem to receive some sustenance (or perhaps just enjoyment?) from eating.
As for their internal anatomy, you see a little of the inside of a mountain troll in the episode with Gatto.
Whenever I speak to college students lately, most of them are excited to tell me that “they grew up watching Trollhunters.”
Time certainly flies — but I’m glad our work made an impact on so many young minds!
What's been one of your favourite shows to work on? (currently out/revealled to be coming out at some point) No spoilers..!
They all hold a special place in my heart. I’ll always love Trollhunters and Tales of Arcadia, because I had the chance to collaborate with so many incredible artists and work with the Maestro, Guillermo del Toro.
Star Trek: Prodigy was a dream come true. As a lifelong Trek fan with unapologetic love of all things science fiction, the opportunity to play in that sandbox was life changing.
Wings of Fire has been an absolute joy to work on. Such a delight to now call Tui Sutherland a friend and colleague as we adapt her incredible stories together — our producer Marc and the whole team at Prime Video have been wonderful to work with. I think we’re making something really special.
The Arcane Order because I wanted to 🙃:3
how would you describe your job to someone who doesn’t know? how would you describe your day to day activities in this job to someone who doesn’t know?
My day-to-day depends on what stage the project is. It might involve early brainstorming with collaborators, pitching ideas, breaking episode beats, breaking how a season arc or a feature film will be structured, writing an outline or script, meetings to review art/casting/animation/current cuts of an episode or movie, notes discussions, revisions, or very often all of the above.
Generally speaking, it falls into one of three buckets: discussing art and story, giving notes, and having meetings to discuss the above and determining the direction we are taking. These responsibilities divide my time between writing and executive producing.
The easiest way to describe it is a showrunner is for television what a director is for feature films. We give the creative direction to the series and typically have the final say, overseeing all departments while interfacing with the studio… with the added bonus of writing or rewriting the scripts!
If you're allowed to answer this, is there any Voice Actors you'd wanna see on the Wings of Fire Show?
If you're not allowed to answer, my backup question is do you think it's easier or harder to write Wings of Fire than Star Trek, and do you think writing you did for previous shows is helping you for shows you're currently working on?
I have a list of actors I’d love to see for each role, but unfortunately I’m not allowed to share that sort of thing due to NDAs. I hope you understand!
As for the writing process itself, all my past experiences in storytelling certainly contribute to my approaches to future projects. I’ve written or co-written well over a hundred episodes of television — it might be closer to two hundred now! — so the rhythms of character and plot and emotional arcs eventually get tattooed on your brain, by sheer exercise.
As for writing on Star Trek versus Wings of Fire, they are similar in a lot of ways — balancing personal journeys set against a backdrop of wonderfully rich worldbuilding and lore. The biggest difference is, of course, inventing original stories in the world of Trek versus the art of adaptation of an existing tale with the novels.
The skills overlap, especially in finding where one might expand or simplify while staying faithful to the material, but they do involve different approaches!
I wouldn’t say one series has been more difficult or easy than the other — although I’ll admit I enjoy having the roadmap of books, so I know what lies ahead and where exciting possibilities may avail themselves.
Sorry for a stupid question but I have seen a lot of theories about how Nancy Domzalski could be so old and I want to know if it was a joke or if there is canonically something going on.
It was played as a joke. A couple of in-universe explanations:
1.) She watched so many of her serial stories on TV that her memories and the plots of the episodes became indistinguishable.
2.) She is a potential wizard who was unaware she had magical adeptness and never received training, but it manifested in a long life.
3.) She was cursed by a troll artifact at some point, thinking it was a lawn ornament.
This is super belated due to being posted when was suffering really bad brain fog and simply forgot it existed. Let's get it squeezed in before the festive stuff starts tomorrow!
Just gonna quote directly with this one and be amazed at how tumblr keeps reordering the photos to the point had to do it individually:

was Aaarrrgghh eating the apples in the fruit bowl in ep 5 of Trollhunters an animation error or can trolls canonically eat fruit?
I think given what we saw with Gatto, trolls can and do eat just about everything they feel like eating.
i immediately thought of this scene after today’s events
I love this and how they're the first to respond without being tagged alznskzmsksnznsnsnsnsnsnnsnsnsnsnsn
thank you for pointing that out! lmao
This is actual footage of what happened 😂
HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING AND DEFINITELY EXACTLY HOW IT WENT DOWN SDLFKJSDLKFJLDKJ
I just remembered the fervor from the Tales of Arcadia fandom when Wizards first dropped.
It’s posts like these that make me so extraordinarily happy the fans of my projects are as creative and hilarious and passionate as they are.
I am lucky to get to do what I do, and share in these stories with you.
My dad used to absolutely love troll hunters! I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us with wings of fire!
Thanks! I think you and your dad will dig it — we are making it epic, to be enjoyed by everyone!
I’ve always loved this book trailer for Wings of Fire.
Epic, wondrous, blazing with adventures untold…
Do you watch Star Trek?
I’ve seen every episode ever made… and written a few episodes myself!
