Enjoy this beautiful cover of our song that @redkiteslike did. since we didn’t want to make a full version, she decided to make one herself, and it came out great. i’m truly humbled that our little song inspired someone else to make their own version of it. 

original version

Lyrics:

When a humble punk 

Traveled back in time 

With Merlin of Camelot 

Along came this rhyme 

Knights in gold and steel 

A sword of pure magic 

Lost in a world 

Full of stories so tragic 

The Trollhunter in ruins 

A war that’s coming soon 

With a broken man leading 

To their fateful doom (them all to their doom) 

He must find a way 

To save his dying land 

But with threats unknown 

And his future at hand 

Toss a coin to your wizard, o’ wielders of magic, o’ wielders of magic oooh 

Toss a coin to your wizard, who will set us all free 

When siblings clash in fate 

And past trauma appears 

What side would you choose If there’s only fear?.......... 

And magic takes its course (through) 

Shadows who enforce 

To cleanse the world 

Right down to its bones..........aah 

He suffered through (the) years 

With blood mixed in his tears 

He’s a shield of the world (he’s the shield of Arcadia) 

That tears down your fears (who’ll end their despairs) 

Toiling night and day 

With gods he has to slay 

He must give his all lest the world’s due to pay 

Hand a staff to your wizard, o wielders of magic, o wielders of magic, oooh 

Hand a staff to your wizard, so he’ll set us all free 

Now give a hug to your wizard, o wielders of magic, o wielders of magic, oooh Give a hug to your wizard, for he set us all free

How do you take screenshots from Netflix? If I use Ctrl+Print or the Windows Snipping Tool, all I get is a black screen. Funny enough, it used to work with my 8 year old laptop, but the new one is being successfully blocked. Help pls

As far as I'm aware, you can't. Maybe someone else knows a way?

Hey! Thank you for extracting Douxie's theme, I now hear it much better! But what about all the badass times when he unfolded his magic? Like... in the fight against Morgana, when Merlin plummets to the ground, at the creating of the amulet etc.? What theme would you call this? It's also Douxie-centered, right? Maybe "Douxie's magic"?

Yes! It’s either connected to Douxie and Merlin, or Douxie and his magic (or maybe both, considering how Merlin was Douxie’s mentor in magic). It’s slightly different, but of the same style enough that at times I confused it for Douxie’s main theme as I was listening for it and only realized it wasn’t that one as I was writing it down on sheet music.

This is what plays while Merlin has his “Struggle is what forges one’s soul into steel” speech in the beginning of the first episode. That theme also appears in the scenes you mentioned, and it generally seems connected both to Douxie with Merlin (considering it plays in Merlin’s death scene) and to Douxie’s magic. Perhaps it’s how it’s connected, showing how much Douxie connects his own magic to Merlin, considering that Merlin is his mentor but also Douxie connects himself to Merlin through both of them being wizards. Wow :D

About the forging of the amulet; if you’re talking about the melody playing at the exact moment they’re placing the stone on it, when a more serious theme plays, this also appears at moments, though not as common as the theme above. I haven’t written that down yet, but I think that theme is more connected to Douxie and magic, especially due to its nature, since it sounds very mysterious and stuff, unlike the theme above.

I'm happy that you loved ToA as well! I GOTTA ASK. What did you think of the unexpected guitar

DUUUUUDE that freakin’ SLAYED me. I love it when fantasy/sci-fi makes an excuse to go full badass with the power of rock music. I adore Douxie and the whole goth rocker aesthetic going around animation these days is just 👌Doux is such a low-key rocker though which makes him so intriguing and awesome.

Hey. Unfortunately someone called crossstitchworld reposted one of your artworks without giving credit. Check it out...

Oh dear, that’s the third time I’ve seen that one reposted... Perhaps I ought to start watermarking them?

I sent a message to them letting them know the person they credited had actually re-posted it. (it was a link to reddit)

Rather sad, isn’t it? When a post relatable to artists gets re-posted without credit.

Ok ok you honestly need to explain to me the Battle of the Grounded Dungeon pls because that's something I actually missed XD I knew something like it existed, but it was before my fandom time!!! What was it about? :D I wanna hear everything!! The whole story! :D Also the cupcake thing...lol. I didn't know about that at all. I think there was a phase where Toothcup got a lot of flower crowns edited on their heads, but other than that?? Gosh this fandom XD

So after httyd2 premiered, people made a lot of sad analysis/shitposts/etc about the sad things about httyd2, mainly Stoick dying. 

A common phrase was in the replies of these posts: “Go to the dungeon” 

It became a joke where people were being sent to the dungeon whenever they made sad posts about httyd2. So many people were sent. After some point, someone broke out of the dungeon, starting a revolution for people in the dungeon. 

This is where it became a full blown RP. Honestly don’t remember the plot but I remember that you shouldn’t touch the water...for some reason idk. 

I do know that @treepelt and @kingofthewilderwest were a part of it! They probably know a lot more than me, I wasn’t an active member but I remember coming across it a lot on my dash. I’m pretty sure people tagged their stuff so check out the battle of the grounded dungeon and botgd tags

I’m not entirely sure how hiccupcakes started. That was a thing when I first joined tumblr and only followed a few httyd blogs. As for the flower crowns, that was a phase p much the entire internet was in during the 2011-2013 era. 

[stix-n-bread]

I CAN'T BREATHE reading the replies to your Merlin post hahhahahahaha

at least SOMEONE’S enjoying them SKSKSKSKSKSK

I still can't thank you enough for speaking well, friendly and elaborate on Tumblr because you've been such a role model to me this way!

This... this touches me more than I can express. I sat on this for a little while, because how I can find the words to say how much this made my day? Thank you so much for sending this this way. 

I’ll admit it’s common for me to perceive myself as a horrible person, someone who’s negatively impacted the people around me. To hear this means a lot. And it makes me especially glad you’ve had good experiences through our interactions, because you matter a lot, and I hope you may be happy, be it on tumblr or somewhere else. :) And also, I always love seeing you online, so it means all the more coming from you.
