(The Art Isn't Mine)

Baby teutonic knights watching pagan lithuania

WHAT THE FUCK PETER JACKSON

can I draw your jack frost character?

Yes, just put in some description that the design idea is mine, he was supposed to be used in one of my stories

They really are from the same media moment

Recently i realized that Thneedville demo is for Ted, what Biggering is for The Onceler

My Kid!Germany Fanart from Hetalia i draw years ago.

It's an edgy fanart made on paper, the context would be in a fanfiction that I didn't finished.

A Holy Roman Empire fan art that originally was suppose to be part of a fancomic but it didn't happened

Ted is a 12 years old boy that have to plant the damn seed.

They both are hated, both are the annoying teenager mirror characters.

The difference is that Shinji is intentionally build to be dislikable, they are hated by different reasons, for example, one is hated for not having the courage to interact with people and "get the girls" while the another is determined to get his crush, one is hated for not having the courage to fight for the world when he is called upon to the point that he scapes by a selfish fear, while the other has the audacity to stand up powerful people to do what was asked of him even if it(initially)was for a selfish task. But they are still the reflections of the loser, Ted is accidentally that.

The thing in which both have in common is that they are tied to the desires of others, they are dependent on other characters to do something, everything they did is to the others so they could gain some validation (except that Ted learned to care about the trees in the end), because Shinji was abandoned since a child he is desperate for attention and help, combine that with his teen fase and he gets insupportable, Ted wanted validation from his crush and later he fulfilled the Onceler desire to talk with someone about the trees and vanish the loneliness, at the end he fulfills the wish to replant the trees, wished from the own Lorax, The Onceler and Audrey, in the end, Ted was just a tool to put into practice the wishes of the other protagonists, but still in a selfish way. These boys are just huskies from what they could have been.

Ted deserved to be hated because he wasn't intentionally meant to be like that, he started his task because of a selfish desire: to have someone he doesn't have, even in the Thneedvile demo he had a selfish objective which is to have something that nobody has, Tumblr hates him, I understand it, despite that sometimes i think you guys kinda exaggerates it(specially because he is a kid), but know what? I like him in a ironic way, he may be a degenerate but he is at least a honest character, he may be hateable but at the end of the day, we're just like him, a simp that does everything for the others for the sake of validation and to gain something in our selfish objectives.

Now, because the movie is so badly written, the characters suffer with flanderization and horrible execution, The Onceler and Ted are the most affected by that, i agree that his love task was a bad idea and that's why I don't ship Audrey and Ted, I prefer them as friends( to be honest I don't ship anyone in this movie, i've always been an anti-shipper with this adaptation), i think that Audrey works as a female avatar and she should have her own character arc(already did a post about her), but Ted is not a totally disposable character, he deserves his own character arc too, if Ted were the male avatar view and Audrey the female view(let's say I have a principle called gender balance), his arc would obviously being about he learning to care about the trees, he would start with the desire to have something he doesn't have but he suffers with the many consequences and even get hurt until he learns to care genuinely about the nature.

Literally almost any shipp i went through my life i used that dynamic.

They really are from the same media

My Onceler Fanart. Made on paper, remarked to Digital Media.

These were the references to the drawing:

I base myself on Travis Bickle's/Robert De Niro's face to draw the Onceler's face, the style was based on 70's anime, the poses were from two fanarts about Switzerland (from Hetalia) and Homura Akemi (Madoka Mágica) i found.
