Im Weird

I've honestly been waiting for this season for a long time give an take a year or so. It has not disappointed, in fact its opened even more of the world and it's not holding back on any of the new pieces slowly showing its puzzle.

(Brain thoughts right now) I'm so happy to see the ties in with the first season from the characters to past magical event and going further into a take or the completion of another. It's like fitting into your old pare of gloves where they are nice and cozy but if you have time then you notice even smaller details that you just haven't seen.

This season shows more into its own magical side (literally), creatures, lure and character building. There are ties to previous tales that needed answers but also made some new ones with actual villans!!! Yes season 1 showed problems and situations to solve but season 2 has an actual jerk and maybe something more juicy down the way.

The only one we don't see at the moment is the raven, answer..... It's actually winter and he went somewhere?? That's juts my guess but if you've finished this season you know there's more to come so hopefully we'll see out feathery friend some more.

Now into some of the interesting parts (my thoughts). Every mystical creature from the paper loving elves to the fluffy woffs and even in the empty spaces in-between with nissa can and despise the sounds of bells. If not a mild annoyance then enough to cause anger and possibly pain similar to (guessing) a headache that just won't go away. The most intriguing things is that the humans do it on purpose to rial them up but then do they all know it's causing them pain?

Now I'm not saying that there aren't other people like Hilda (note an elementary schooler) who likes to adventure and experience the "hidden" world but considering the library withing the library's library's ect. How is there no research into individual creatures as deep a knowledge as this one kid who experienced it within a day. Almost as if Hilda's the first to find all of these details and knowledge. You can't be telling me that every one else has no interest, curiosity, or just need of wanting to know more. I mean invisibility aside most if not all are literally living besides them.

I don't know about you but I found it interesting that trolls rather like to collect there own things, can live together but will fight each other if one starts something or if they just don't like each or even protect others and the most interesting is some have the ability to do magic. I mean near the end i honestly though what if trolls used to be humans but the freaking ending through me into a loop of silent screaming (cause people are sleeping).

There's more stuff i want to touch upon like the foreshadowing from the beginning, to the bells, alfes notes, twigs future growths, Hilda's and moms situation,the multiple close encounters with death, new creatures, all the music they put in and ect. But that will take a couple parts and me watching it twelve more times cause

1: I want to and 2: Fudge that freaking cliffhanger.

Now everyone has heard of fairy like creatures from elves to trolls and more but in this world it really does make it own. There are even a few creatures that are brand new or I Just haven’t heard of before but introduce them a fun special way themselves. Everyone is just trying to coexist in their own way, though I’ll admit the humans are still kinda jerks.

We are mainly seeing this world from a kids perspective aka Hilda and their friends. From one side of the coin living in the forest amongs the strange and unusual to the other side of the city where it’s creatures still lurk if you look deep enough. It might sound dark but honestly the show is full of wonder and great music to go with the travels.

There is even some growth with the characters from the parents side and the friends. Where confrontation arises but it’s nothing that can fully easily be fixed. Everything takes time to process and the show gives it time to bake just right. This world truly does let kids explore, travel and learn in there own way how to get out of any situation. Never take anything at face value when all you need is more information.

I do freaking appreciate the fact that even though the human is in another worldly dimension that her companion simply calls out everything that is wrong, was wrong or any bad doings that their friend have had caused them to do. Funny enough the human also does the same when something seems wrong but is usually corrected. This is generally the humans (I don’t wana day first but) first non manipulated or not fully dependent friendship. Im not saying she was not friends with the humans that you see in the world but it’s kinda obvious how well the blond human can just talk their way out of murder and the other one was almost always dependent on the main character in the human world. Now that they are in a new strange place that could kill them at any point, away from each other, the same results that they’ve relied on and usually worked are of course either wrong or have to change in some way.

This point is also touched on when two of the humans meet each other and confrontation happens since the main character has less doubt in their choices and knows what is right.They have a literal fight (with swords) but still touched on the fact that they do care about each other and that’s a tough feeling to still have when you’ve realised you yourself have been pushed and manipulated by the other. This is a clean sheet for all of them to be self dependent, make the right choices and all in all change their ways from before.

Now it’s clear this world has some sort of magic but .... I have no idea how it works and the only connection to it is the black market that disappears, a possible sneaky king and a box that has lost its gems colors. It’s a full on mystery and that’s honestly refreshing. Yes the world is weird, deadly and the humans want to go home but the show is nicely taking its time unvailing it’s layers and the change in its characters.

Now speaking of the human wanting to go home the lasted episode did a very deep and thoughtful note that showed whether you get along with your parents or even knew them... basically if you did not cry in this one, you lie!!!! Through the show the human talks about their family and what they generally did from owning a business, to some traditions and what they generally did with their friends. This time it truly showed that their just a kid in a strange place and they miss their family. They have lightly touched on this through the show but their latest episode ”hopping mall” just dumped a bucket of feeling. It even when into “is it strange to miss someone you’ve never met or remembered” and speaking for myself who doesn’t know most of their family or remember some import person I personally felt that scene.

When it was first coming out I was supper excited for this rare beauty that was on the network that was truly trying to change. I think the greatest part about the show is that it reminded me of what I did when I was younger which was literally go outside and play around which ever area we wanted to go to. And bunch of it was exploring new areas and new people, it was usually always fun. This show goes into that and more.

It’s shows other sides of what self experiencing is and the creative problem solving kids can do, wether it was on purpose or a happy mistake. From all the different type of people you can meet, to cleaning up the environment, how imagination works into everything and a possible future war between two different sides of the same creek. I truly enjoy on how realistic this show. There are full on moments when you think that something is wrong or that it shouldent be that way and the characters have that exact mind set and go to fix, change or avoid it and it’s the best thing since if you give them the chance this is how kids work.

If you let them in an environment by themselves it can have both positive or negative results but no matter what they will always try to solve any problem or try to cheer up a friend to not give up or even just being there for them as support. I think the ice pop trio video was the greatest one yet since it holds all of that and more. They do it in there own special way and it works beautifuly. I’m sure everyone could find an episode they connect with or just truly enjoy for what it is. I can’t wait for more but if you haven’t watched it then I would recommend you defiantly give it a try.

Season 2 went further into it with “a denizen” known now as Lake. Through this story it showed that the normal humans are really not that different from the living creatures on the train. They all have their own world, problems, situations and emotional process that they go through or could be stuck in. It also showed that with a little fanagaling they could leave the train if they wanted to and just live in a not so dangerous life like the patrons. If you where not already sucked in then season 2 definitely had to get grab your attendtion.

Now season 3 was definitely deeper then what the trailer let on to show. For one it definitely showed that you could stay on the train for... ever if you really wanted to and tried. I can’t even imagine the amount of missing children or missing people reports in general, just cause they needed to go in a full deep personal journey and the train was their chance to deal with it or ignore it. By the looks of it I don’t think people give up the chance to just get on random train that magicaly apperead in front of you from nowhere. Aside from putting them in danger I believe the train also saved many people. For example, if tulip did not get on the train there was a full chance she could have frozen to death.

Sorry getting A little side tracked.....now season 3 was no true surprise when the denizens where being killed again, sad yes but even in season 1 you see some turtles just fly out of the train, it happens. What it did truly show was that the train is not a therapy center, if you don’t put the work to change or even care about just being nice you can stay forever if ya want. Even the false conductor said one-one doesn’t care what you do as long as you do you. It does not help if your sucked in there as a kid and grow up in their with some twisted mentality as your only support system but the denizens can only do so much. They have proven they have there own life’s. Especially when the life sucking dog roaches attack everyone. Now kids usually don’t want to be left alone so it’s understandable that when they saw the chance to go into a secure group of other kids in a new and mysterious place they would jump right on in. Even then nobody is ready to freaking kill another being. Torture denizens yes, but to kill another human who you kinda knew and basically guaranteed some safety nuh uh!!!!

Sometimes you can see the spiral of madness that someone’s in and can’t really do much to help. Other times you are the spiral of madness who want to get out of the cycle or is stuck in their ways so deep you break and pass the no return line. This season showed both and the later, aside from breaking mentally literally died. Did they deserve it?....eeeeeehhhhhh. Was it necessary....yes. The one common thing all the humans do on the train is get better in whatever Scenario, mentality or being they where in. Even season 2 showed if you had enough gusto you would be in an infinite loop until your problem was resolved (don’t know what he did to get back in but also showed you could get back in, that’s another story) and pretty sure you can’t come back from murder!!! Point being full body numeral to the point I’m wondering if it would also go to the organs for space?? 

Ok so this was mainly to talk about season 3 and I might have gone too long..... I feel like I could say more but then it would be season 4 which has yet to reach the viewers number goal to be worked on.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that I don’t handel it fully it like I do with every other media but digital work is frustrating for me. I don’t like coloring in general but I can do it. Make me color digitally and it might just look like a morbid messup coloring book that can’t do a simple Shera color palet which again goes back to me not liking my digital lines....

Also how does one who cast a curse and has the scroll for it not read how to remove it like comon Lilith really!!! Sharing the curse showed interesting results but maybe it’s also easier to remove now it’s only half in two people??

Through the fight luz had my train of though went to just kick the heart glob that’s behind his thrown that will give em a lesson. I can’t say this emperor showed his true power or intention but his ego seems big enough to do mistakes. At the end the whole talking to titan was proven false profit sort of take but what does he want...what does he need???

And then proced to overthink about the dumbest things like “how do people do digital line, one full size but then also sketched, how does it come of looking well??????”....
