Huntik And Instruments

Huntik and Instruments

Sophie

As a well educated royal family member, she can play piano very well. Saturday is the piano lessons day with LeBlanche. He takes it very seriously becasue every young Lady should play at least one classical instrument, right? Sophie likes to listening classical music, it helps her to relax and focus whatever she's doing. She also know music theory becasue it's piano you know... Mozart and Chopin her favorites, she finds Beethoven a little bit dark. She has not so much time for music these days but whenever she sits in front of the piano in Townhouse, Lok comes and begs her to play Amelie or another popular song. She also likes the bands with female vocals which Zhalia suggested to her (Paramore, Halestorm etc) and some French pops like Zaz.

Lok

I think we agreed that he plays acoustic guitar in our fanbase. He is not so good at it, I mean he uses tabs for songs (which is kinda music sheet that everyone can read) so it's just a funny hobby for him. He plays anything what he finds; pop like Ed Sheeran, Green Day things, the Irish songs that his mother used to sing him, some classical rock covers on acoustic etc... Sophie sometimes gives some song suggestion to him and he likes to play for her. Neither of two can sing well but that's okay, they enjoy making music together.

Dante

Well well as an Italian of course he has to be talented at least in one fine arts. Also Metz thought like LeBlanche too and  Dante took some violin lesssons when he was young. Now he is at the same level and situation with Sherlock; so good at it and plays to solve problems when his head filled with tons of thoughts. He really enjoys while playing but not so many people knows about it. He can play something with most of the instruments like couple of songs on piano and has also quiet good voice- likes to listen opera (Pavarotti his favorite ofc). It's usually Dante who sing along the song on radio, he just can't stop himself. And you can't convince me that he didn't sing to Zhalia "Pretty Woman" along with radio, while driving to the south in old drophead car (weather was hot, sun was shining... he even forced Zhalia to sing along and damn man, he made it!! Such a beautiful moment, ohh) Out of classical music he likes jazz so much and classical rock too. (Elvis, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Beatles etc)

Zhalia

Living with a scientist in lab means you should be quiet in most of the time. So yeah, Klaus was not a jazz dad definitely and wants silence when he's working. But in one of his "lets show my adopted daughter the city" tours, little Zhalia saw a street musician playing violin and fascinated. Vienna has tasteful music scene, it's everywhere (we're talking about Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms' city) and Klaus heard Zhalia a couple of times when she's humming in Dutch which sounds like a child song. So he knows that her voice is pretty fine and thought why not about violin. Eventually she will be agent and maybe will need some musical talent to hunt someone down, who knows? But he regretted it because that thing sounds too much and annoying. Also Zhalia has no time for music out of trainings/spy things and there is drawing, which is silence and safe. At least Klaus doesn't get mad at her, then the case closed. But after she moved to Rotterdam again, she wanted some hobby to spend time. In her teenage years she started to listen 90's alternative rock bands, even some punk and drums interests her. Kicking and beating for music? You son of a bitch, she's in! Again she has not so much time for music so she didn't want a instrument that learning takes time. She bought some electronic drum kit (she lives in a apartment so) and while watching some videos she easily figured out how to play properly. She has a great voice too but it took time to make her sing something, Dante tried too much. If she is drunk enough to sing in front of people who is not just Dante, our couple nails the karaoke nights! And you should saw Dante's face when he found out that Zhalia plays violin too. After that he decided help her to improve it but Zhalia has doubts, violin reminds her some bad memories. But Dante insisted to that it will be good for her and he was right. They used to play aganist Venice sunset together or in Dante's New York apartmen and that's their secret moments. Zhalia started to play when she misses Dante or feels blue and music helps instantly to feel better. Klaus finds some special sheet music for them from Vienna too.

Twins

You can easily guess that the Twins literally lose their minds when they learned out that Zhalia can play drums. Den definitely wanted to learn, so Zhalia showed him something in her free time. Harrison tried too but he feels better with Lok's guitar. So he strated to play electric guitar, his fingers just fly on freatboard. They and Lok used to jam togeter, they're really having fun. Three of them likes rock (Twins like some rap stuff too, you should see them in karaoke nights) so they play usually most common 90 and 00's songs. But there is a little problem which is neither of them can sing. They begged Dante and Zhalia in the end. Dante accepted, but he prefers to sing classicals or some funny songs for Zhalia (they played one time  "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" from The Jet for her), so Twins started to ask Zhalia for singing something. She accepted eventually too because hanging out with them is fun. Then Sophie suggested to play some Haggard or Apocalyptica songs, they have violins and great vocals so why not? She helps them with arranging songs because she knows music theory well. 

Do you have any headcanons, how would Dante propose to Zhalia and how would Lok propose to Sophie?

Oh my god now this is the question I have been waiting for since I started watching Huntik lmao

OKAY Dante and Zhalia would definitely have a Pirates of the Caribbean moment, like in the middle of a really intense battle when they’re both fighting back to back and it seems like they’re about to die and at that point one of them goes “you know what fuck it” and proposes to the other while things explode around them, and then they kiss and it’s THE KISS-like the best movie kiss you’ve ever seen but 10 times better DANG

And for Lok and Sophie oh my god. IT’S SUPER CUTE because Lok plans this incredible night with Sophie that includes taking her to the theater or something that she loves and then for dinner to a fancy place and then to somewhere she’d consider romantic like IDK a museum or something and propose to her. But of course because it’s Lok EVERYTHING goes the exact opposite of how it  should have and he panics and is super frustrated. Sophie is mildly annoyed, because at this point she’s kinda used to dates with Lok going to hell and it is actually fun and she actually justs enjoys being with him in general because come on he treats her like a princess. 

AND OF COURSE things can’t stop going south and Dante shows up halfway through the thing asking Lok if he already proposed to Sophie and Lok is about to throw himself into the canal and drag Dante with him. But by then Sophie is 50 shades of done because she probably figured out  already what was going on long before Dante showed up with his perfect timing and she just loses her patience and yells “yES LOK LAMBERT I WILL MARRY YOU” then turns to everyone in the restaurant and orders them to stay the fuck put and shut up, and asks Lok to ask her properly so our beautiful puppy boy (who is probably a magnificent Thor-like man who turns everyone’s loins into butter with a look) immediately gets down on one knee in front of our beautiful trash princess and asks her to marry her after accidentally putting the ring on the wrong finger and after that they probably leave to be alone the rest of the night, yes.

They kept Sanji’s smoking, his flirty behavior (toning it down heavily), the love and affection he feels looking at the others, his kindness, his smile, his soft spoken tone from early One Piece, and his deep love for his dream, morals, and Zeff. Minus him not bowing to Zeff, as someone whose favorite character of all time is Sanji, this has my seal of approval.

The team watching a Disney movie and Zhalia questioning everything because no can tell me that Klaus actually let her watch Disney movies

Yes, yes, yes! I have this one! I started writing a series of headcanons about Things Zhalia does for the first one which was a list of things she had never done before meeting the team and Disney movies were on the list. It was originally a tumblr post but then I was like no, tumblr is scary.

Anyways, no Klaus did not let Zhalia watch Disney movies, in fact the closest she got was when she was a street kid and was prowling the ally behind it for leftovers that had been tossed whilst a Disney movie was playing inside. Klaus was probably pretty strict when it came to TV because he’s a scientist (no nonsense movies) and also he doesn’t want her watching redemption arc tropes and any movie where the protagonist realises they were being manipulated all along.

So yeah, when she finally does get to watch it, she questions it- a LOT- because she can’t understand how they ignore the plot holes and “why are they singing, there are people everywhere?”

The team suddenly realise that wait… she has never seen a Disney movie, in her life. And much like with the children’s book ask I answered, they panic and have to make her watch as many Disney movies as they can without scaring her.

They make her watch the classics like Snow White of course because it’s important to Disney history (and because Cherit was there when disney first came out so he’s loving all of this) but then they watch things like Atlantis (because the irony there) and then Lilo and Stitch (because it’s my favourite and I said so, they realise there are a lot of similarities between Zhalia and Stitch beyond both of them having blue hair.)

Yeah, Zhalia still questions it but she tries to reign herself in because what’s she learnt from this is, is that Disney movies have played a massive role in her friends lives and childhoods. There’s also a confusing moment when she thinks that all Disney movies are set in the same world as each other and what? The world is just full of kingdoms that only have Princesses? And these are all just nice adaptations of fairy tales? And they have to explain that every movie is different, it’s not a movie series. But she doesn’t want to ruin their memories of it just because she’s not fully understanding of the concept. She was also appreciative of some of the animation and art backgrounds being a secretly art person herself.

They are pretty careful about what they make her watch though, because I can’t see her much liking Toy Story for example, not just because it’s a crazy concept but also there’s a lot of abandonment in them and that’s a sore point for Zhalia.

Though I suppose some of the crazy fantasy plots in Disney would be realistic for a seeker or seekers inspired Disney.

Once the teens have gone, Dante starts laughing at all the stupid things he hadn’t noticed as a kid.

Up until the teens had left, they had also only watched animated Disney movies because you say Disney movies and Lok immediately leapt on animations from Peter Pan to Treasure Planet and they kind of just let him.

Once they’ve gone Dante continues making her watch Disney movies (although she struggles here because part of her has had enough of Disney for one day but the other sees Dante happy and just wants curl up and watch a Disney movie anyway.)

Anyway here enters the live action stuff like National Treasure and Pirates of the Caribbean(?) though he saves the remakes for when the teens are back.

Technically Indiana Jones is owned by Disney after they bought Lucasfilm but thanks to Lok all of them had already seen it and they didn’t really count it as a Disney movie. Same goes for Star Wars which I headcanon as Zhalia’s favourite.

Zhalia’s ultimately still pretty confused by the end, still questioning Dante about everything and the singing really gets on her nerves because Lok and Sophie won’t stop singing, particularly songs which came out in the last five years or so. Not only because it’s annoying but also because they only watched pre-2000 movies and early 2000 movies to keep her happy. But it’s fun and she now realises where a lot of quotes and T-shirt’s and songs come from and the team may or may not be planning to take her to Disney land because Lok wants to go, Sophie is not opposed, Cherit can hide as a balloon or soft toy and Dante thinks a) it will be fun as a team 2) Disney land will confuse the life out of Zhalia and he wants to see that. A week later there’s also a list of movies still left to watch and Zhalia is horrified to discover that there are sequels she will also have to sit through.

They also put a focus on movies she should have watched growing up but you can work that out for yourself depending on your age headcanons for her.

I don’t know anything about Disney channel to say if there’s anything there they’d make her watch.

(Den isn’t in this because this is probably post season 1 but still before season 2 begins.)

Just wait until they realise she hasn’t seen anything like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or movies like that yet.

Also they watch Dinosaur movies because Dinosaurs are cool and technically sciencey.

You did it! I knew you could!

I remember seeing the first part on Pinterest for the first time. How old this shit is????

It’s soo funny to read.

And I love deductions. Sherlock fandom is the best. (Well, one of the best)
