people don’t talk about hilda (from the netflix show) enough and how absolutely insane she is. and by that i mean how she takes the Traditional Hero trope to the absolute extremes. she is filled with overwhelming whimsy; adventure is drawn to her like a goddamn magnet and absolutely NO ONE can stop her from pursuing it. and if they even try to get in her way then fuck them. this kid’s normal tuesday means possibly dying multiple times and fighting The Horrors. everyone around her is concerned for her and the unstoppable magical girl powers that she wields but she absolutely WILL be a little shit about it because she was pulled from her whimsical littol cottage in the woods where she played with trolls and forced to move to fucking Normal Non-Magic Town. turns out going to Normal Town is only a minor setback and soon she’s back on the befriending magical creatures (a GIANT TALKING RAVEN) grind. she’s so Magical Girl Protagonist that even her own mother is terrified for her.
put simply: hilda subverts the magical girl trope in such a way that makes her a threat to normal society. and i love her for that
hi!! great-aunt Astrid's front door rug looks an awful lot like a trans flag!! I haven't seen anyone else point this out yet,, and frankly idk if it's purposeful or accidental but seeing how Hilda as a show likes the themes of "be yourself", "find your own family" and is generally good with casual background rep I wouldn't put it past em :)
I will be posting a variety of stuff just btw, I can do whatever I want,, And I decided to draw my new favorite character from Hilda cuz the new season is out <3
Lol, you truly know I got shipper brain when Hilda's dad and the keeper of the bell only needed to briefly bump into each other and appear on screen together for 2 seconds and my brain goes "they must kiss" XD
