Krel’s favorite hobby is yelling at Douxie.

[cocconutz]

Heyyyy! It’s been quite some time hasn’t it. I broke my tablet a long time ago but FINALLY!! I was able to get a new one. So I’m back and better than ever!. Here’s just a small AU swap with the Casperan and tarron sibs. Basically krel and aja are the wizards and douxie and Zoe are akiridions while Merlin is their Grandpa Geezer. I have more of this coming soon teheh 🤭

Basically that scene in episode 2 were we first get introduced to Zoe, basically swapping her and krel. Douxie steals and krels big mad. But douxie falls head over heels for this totally normal boy lol

And sorry he’s saying old geaser lol I remembered wrong

Krel is having nightmares, Douxie is always here to help.

My opinion on Trollhunters Ships

☆ Jlaire (Jim Lake Junior/Claire Nuñez). For me, it's a good ship in non-canon, but in the canon show it lacked development. I didn't feel Jim was in love with Claire for something about her, just for a shallow reason. 6/10 in canon and 9/10 in fics.

☆ Stricklake (Walter Strickler | Stricklander /Barbara Lake). Of all the canon ships, this is the one that I felt it was better written, even if I wanted Strickler to have more scenes where he felt guilty of what he did to her. 7,5/10 in canon and 9/10 in fics.

☆ Darby (Toby Domzalski/Darci Scott). Like in Jlaire, I felt like the reason why Toby liked Darci was very shallow. And Darci was a character who kinda was "created" just to be with Toby (because she didn't have a development outside their relationship), so it's not my thing in canon. 5/10 in canon and 6/10 in fics.

☆ Staja (Steve Palchuk/Aja Tarron). I already said it in another post, but my main problem with this ship is Steve's character. If the writters made him change, instead of throwing away his development, I would like them more. 5/10 in canon and 7/10 in fics.

☆ Dromura (Draal/Nomura). I would have accepted it being canon, and to be fair I see the appeal, but I don't think it's my thing. Although I like them more than Darby, and I actually felt their chemistry. 7/10

☆ Troll Dads (Aaarrrgghh/Blinkous "Blinky" Galadrigal). I'm not an active shipper of them, but I do ship them with each other (mostly because I don't see Aaarrrgghh having chemistry with another character apart from Blinky). Besides the scenes they share in Wizards says it all. 8/10.

☆ Zouxie (Douxie Casperan/Zoe). I'm gonna be honest: At first I was neutral with this ship: I didn't dislike it nor I liked it. But the fandom kinda ruined it for me. I don't hate it per se, but I prefer other ships with Douxie. And with Zoe too. 5/10.

☆ Hammerhunter (Jim Lake Junior/Toby Domzalski). To be honest they could have worked if the world wasn't heteronormative and if they weren't in love with Claire or Darci, because their relationship is very deep (I mean one of the reasons why Jim traveled back in time is Toby so—). 8/10.

☆ Shadowhammer (Toby Domzalski/Claire Nuñez). I mean I kinda see it? In another world where Claire wasn't "attracted" to Jim (and Jim wasn't in love with Claire, because Toby wouldn't date Claire if he knew Jim liked her) they could have worked while Jim was in the Darklands. 7/10.

☆ Jlaireby (Jim Lake Junior/Toby Domzalski/Claire Nuñez): Well, if you like the three ships (Jlaire, Hammerhunter and Shadowhammer) at the same time and you can't decide (like me), this is surely one of the best decisions you could make: paired the three of them together. 8/10.

☆ Strickrot (Angor Rot/Walter Strickler | Stricklander). At first, it might seem like a "toxic" ship because Strickler controlled Angor and Angor tried to kill Strickler when the Inferna Copula broke, but I usually consider "toxic" couples when they are abusive while being a couple, so this isn't "toxic" or "abusive" for me. Besides it gives even more enemies-to-lovers vibes than Stricklake. 10/10.

☆ Stricklakerot (Angor Rot/Walter Strickler | Stricklander/Barbara Lake). You could blame the fic I read from @/pinkytoothlesso11 about them, but I liked it so much that Stricklakerot might be one of my favorite TOA ships. Apart from Strickrot (and another one I haven't mentioned yet). 12/10.

☆ Steli (Steve Palchuk/Eli Pepperjack). Of course, if they decided to date when Steve was a bully, it would have been toxic, but after their development and all the scenes they shared together, I feel like it could have been a very healthy couple. 7/10.

☆ Stelija (Steve Palchuk/Eli Pepperjack/Aja Tarron). You would think it's similar to Jlaireby for me, but in this case I prefer Steli and Staja separately, because I don't ship Elija/Ajali as much as the other two. 6/10.

☆ Krexie (Douxie Casperan/Krel Tarron). I already love another pairing involving Douxie thanks to @/honeyxmonkey, but I like Krexie too! Not because of the canon interactions, but because of their potential. And because I saw them having more chemistry than Zoe and Douxie. 8/10.

☆ Jeves (Steve Palchuk/Jim Lake Junior). Steli is okay, but to be honest I like this ship more. Not only because I think the couple is more interesting, but because of the wasted potential. I'm pretty sure they could have good friends, and in another universe, maybe they could have been more. Besides, there's also the hate they both share for their own parents: Jim because his father left them for another woman, and Steve because his father was abusive, so I think they would also bond about that. And maybe heal each other scars. 12/10.

☆ Claja (Claire Nuñez/Aja Tarron). What's better than one powerful woman? Two powerful woman who date each other. Imagine the great team they could have been. Besides, Claire is clearly more mature than Steve, so I'm pretty sure she could have been a lot better for Aja. Since Aja's princess who "lost" her world, it's logical she would have wanted someone who understood the weight on her shoulders (and having in mind that Claire was possessed by Morgana, she could have been the perfect person for Aja to date). 10/10.

☆ Claireve (Steve Palchuk/Claire Nuñez): Them being together might seem ilogical at first, basically because Steve was a jerk and Claire "didn't seem interested in him" (even though she went to a concert with him), but I think it could have worked if Steve didn't become a stupid boy again. If Claire saw Steve maturing, she could have been slightly attracted to him. 9/10.

☆ Ajim (Jim Lake Junior/Aja Tarron). To be honest I didn't see it before, but like Claire and Aja, they could understand each other perfectly. Despite Aja being an alien princess and Jim being a human trollhunter, both have responsabilties. Both carry the weight on the world in their shoulders, and they would definitely be supportive of each other. 7/10 (because even if I find the ship appealing, I like Jlaire, Jeves or Claja more)

☆ Jimxie (Douxie Casperan/Jim Lake Junior). I don't see them as brothers like other people in this fandom do (to be honest I don't like that headcanon), so I wouldn't mind reading a fic about them if the plot seemed interesting for me. Basically, I don't hate it, I don't actively ship them, but it's okay for me. 7/10.

☆ Douxlaire (Douxie Casperan/Claire Nuñez). It's the same argument as Jimxie: I don't actively ship them, but I would read a fic of them if the other tags were what I'm looking for in a fic. 7/10.

This is just my random two cents, but some Krexie shippers are confused as to why the get backlash.

On one hand, the backlash is homophobic, which is bad.

On the other hand, the backlash is because it is a proship.

Now, y'all might argue its not because Doux is 19 and Krel is (IN ONLY THE MOVIE BTW) 17-18. However, in their canon interactions, Krel is 16, or at least an adolescent for Akiridion standards. Douxie is forever 19, and although yes he's forever a teen, he is still, legally and partly mentally, an adult. A 919 year old adult.

Now if you make au's where they're the same age or they start interacting when krel is older or Doux is actually younger, i won't stop you. I'll side eye a bit, but I won't stop you, and might even like it.

Cause I sort of ship it. (I say sorta because it still has its appeals but within the shows context it's weird)

I dont think people should normalize young adolescents/highschoolere/13-17 year olds with 19 year olds, especially if said 19 year old is, although mentally 19, is still significantly older and mentally matured and aged by 9 centuries.

I get its fantasy, i get that 2 year age gaps are normal, I get that 17s date 18s (typically within the same grade or just 1 grade a part) but Douxie is technically a COLLEGE STUDENT while Krel is a SOPHOMORE IN HIGHSCHOOL.

"Douxie isn't a pedo!" I'm not saying he is, but depending on how you depict them he can be.

"Krel was 18 in RotT!" I thought we collectively disowned rott for one. For two, Canon or not, Jim reset the timeline and is the only one to remember, SO KREL IS BACK TO BEING 16 AGAIN.

"Akiridions age differently! He could be the same age!" Let me take you to a monster fucker rule: If they're two different species who age differently, if 100 is considered a child for one species but is an adult for another, DON'T SHIP IT! For Krel's case, we don't know, might never know, and even if we do, Krel is still an adolescent child, while Douxie is a young adult and is regarded as such.

"17 and 19 isn't weird!" It... is though? 19 year olds are typically in college or having gap years, while 17 year olds are college searching and panicking over SATs and AP exams (at least for US kids) Why is a 19 year old trying to court a highschooler??

"2 year age gaps are normal!" I'm not saying its not, I'm saying its fine between two adults or people who grew up together as friends and ended up dating. That's normal, typical. A 16-17 year old who never grew up in the US with a (9)19 year old who traveled the whole world and ended up in the US and basically lives a typical broke college kid life? That's a little weird.

Let me make it clear: If you depict the ship with them being the same age, BOTH being older, OR JUST IN GENERAL SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF CANON CONTEXT, you're fine. Just understand the context and avoid proshipping, fair?

Now, for that ONE shipper, who strictly ages up krel to do SEXUAL THINGS BETWEEN HIM AND OTHER CHARACTERS, you are weird for that. Do not sexualize teens, do not age up teens to do sexual things or interact with already adult characters sexually, and do not basically normalize teens interacting sexually with adults. This is not a safe space for you to sexualize teens and create adult content of teens or teen characters. Teens below 18 are still kids, and even fresh 18 year olds being sexualized is weird.

For those of you who wish to ship Krexie but now understand to not ship within Canon context, do whatever you want. You're not trying to normalize weird shit.

For those of you who ship krexie regardless of Canon context and don't care if krel is a minor compared to douxie, get put on a list.

And for that one douxie fan who ships krexie and makes douxie a serial cheater and a WEIRDO, you not only should get put on a list, but I hope you grow up and realize how fucking weird you are for not only your mischaracterization of Douxie, but your sexualization of the Main ToA cast and especially Krel.

TL:DR, krexie is proship because one of them is an adolescent, idc if you make aus that rewrite/cancel out Canon, dont sexualize teens, and don't normalize young teens getting with young adults.

And now, a proship that is also a 2 year age gap:

Genya and Shinobu from demon slayer.

Genya is 16. Shinobu is 18. See the weirdness? No? Well, Genya is a young slayer, while Shinobu is a Hashira and in turn an authority figure, who also run a whole hospital basically.

See how krexie is a proship now? Yeah? Kay, bye bye then. Have the day you deserve.

Krel holding olive oil: What the kleb is an extra virgin i know what a virgin is but what’s an extra virgin? Like a nun? Like Eli?

Douxie: Krel…

———

Jim: Ok we need to find the peppers if we want an acutely spicy salsa- steve put the ground pepper down

———

Toby: It’s always fun when we go shopping together because I get free entertainment like this

Camera pans to look at Douxie and Eli*

Eli: Is it true that Benjamin Franklin was a woman?

Douxie: Sigh* Are you going to help me listen to the watermelon or not?

———

Claire: Wait where’s steve?

Toby: He’s still trying to get all the free samples he should be able to find us as long as Eli’s here.

Claire: Oh ok… Wait where’s Eli?

———

Aja: And this one is a lemon!

Krel: That’s actually a grape fruit you can tell because it’s painted to be pink with an orange rind and also it’s larger than the lime. Grape fruit is also known to help with digestive issues despite being commonly agreed to be the most disgusting of the citrus. Which circles round to the idea that the more poison is in food the more likely a human is to eat it. This is also displayed through the foods known as chocolate and peppermint both of which are known to be poisonous amongst most earthly animals meanwhile humans eat it for its taste.

Aja: Watch this he’s just gonna keep going

Krel: Still talking about food*

Jim: I need to get this guy to write my college thesis
