We in the fandom all know that ROTT is a copout ending of a movie that failed on so many levels but like...Seriously you're going to ruin all three of your shows by allowing a magical time travel ending and you aren't even going to kill off more of the cast?

Like, they killed off the two changelings for fun I guess, and possibly Archie I don't really remember if he died in that cave in or was just trapped, and then killed Merlin and Toby.

But like. You know none of this shit is gonna matter.

Kill off Barbara. Kill off Aaarrrgh again (Why not? Doesn't matter!). Kill off Blinky, Claire, Eli, Steve, Varvatos Vex, just kill 'em all off! Because you made it not matter!

God I fucking hate the movie.

I know people have complained about ROTT to death, but something that's bugged me for years since I first watched it was how Toby's sacrifice and death was handled

The biggest problem I have with the choice of killing off Toby is that there was no build-up to it. Before this moment, the movie pays almost no attention to Toby; there's no scene between Jim and Toby where they talk to one another. Instead, those moments are given to Jim and Claire, which have already been explored. There are no hints about Toby feeling like he isn't doing more for the team, which honestly could've been really interesting since the series had the habit of pushing him to the side

His death literally comes out of nowhere. It's painfully obvious that they had Toby die not only for cheap shock value but to justify Jim's choice to go back in time and give Toby the amulet. It's disappointing because I think Toby getting an arc about feeling inadequate to the team and wanting to do more, eventually culminating in him being the reason that the team was able to win against the Arcane Order could've been amazing for his character. But unfortunately, they didn't go that route with him and we all know how ROTT's ending turned out

It's Jim's first birthday after becoming human again! It seems that everyone remembered why Jim was in charge of the kitchen.

JA! It only took me 6 months to finish this JAJJAJAJAJ, it was the bonus day of the jimtober challenge, better late than never.

And there were also too many quality drawings for you, it was time for something silly 😂

There's a few pages for each of the three series + RotT

I keep thinking about how Claire was left alone in the original timeline. She lost one of her closest friends, and her boyfriend in less than ten minutes, with the lingering promise that everything will be fixed by some miracle, only to then realize that the “time” stone is not really a time stone and just created a whole new timeline that ain’t hers.

I mean, how cruel is that? You fought in a war, believing that after this you would have a normal life along with your family, boyfriend, and friends. Just to end up on a couch explaining to Barbara and Nancy that their kids are dead/missing. She probably will have nightmares of that moment. She probably will never go to that bench in the hill again. She probably won’t finish school properly.

And I say that because more than a boyfriend and a good friend, Toby, Jim, and Claire have trauma bonding. They are teenagers, fighting a war that ain’t theirs, almost getting killed every day, suffering from magical creatures/objects, and losing a close connection for that matter. Jim and Toby were the only people Claire would trust the most if she ever remembered when she lost Enrique, or when she got possessed, or when she left her parents to go to New Jersey, or even that time Jim went into the Darklands. She would tell NotEnrique, Blinky, or even Douxie, but it would not be the same comfort, would not be the same comprehension that Jim and Toby would have.

If I were her I would not get out my room for a year.
