FINALLY, MY OTHER FAVORITE AND COMFORT EPISODE
JIMHUNTERS
Even though I have some criticism about certain things, I fucking adore this episode. And, same as "Hero with a thousand faces", I've watched this episode so many times.
First of all, it has my favorite scene ever.
"No kisses, we're fighting!" This whole little spar session makes me go KDJKNDKZKDZ. They're so fucking cute and I love them SO FREAKING MUCH.
Tumblr media
I already talked about this scene before, but I don't care, I love it too much to not mention it again. Jim and Blinky's relationship is so important to me, and even though we had the birthday gift scene referencing Blinky as a father figure to Jim, the fact that he called him "son" warms my heart so much.
"When I gaze upon you, do you know what I see? I see a champion. A friend. A son. A magnificent son."
Tumblr media
Claire's reaction to Troll Jim. Not just the "I'm hideous!" "You're really not" scene but when she helps Jim to get off the couch and she checks him out. SHE'S SO ME LMAO.
Tumblr media
THE FIRST TIME CLAIRE SAID "I LOVE YOU" TO JIM AND WHEN HE CALLED HIM "BOYFRIEND" IN FRONT OF TOBY UGHHHH I WANT WHAT THEY HAVE.
Tumblr media
Last but not least, I'M A SIMP FOR TROLL JIM. I LOVE HIM. I LOVE HIS DESIGN, HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL JUST LOOK AT HIM.
Tumblr media
(I know this is from another episode, but he's so cute here)
Also, there's a line Strickler says that I really like, because it's related to something I mentioned before, about Jim's identity crisis.
"It took me years to handle the diverse emotions of either troll or human, but I've never had to deal with both ar once."
Now, some things I'm not really a fan of:
I love Toby, I really do. I enjoy his personality, I tend to laugh at his jokes, but in this episode... I don't know, he annoys me a little. When Claire called Jim "boyfriend" and Toby says that stupid line about the status while Claire's confronting Merlin I want to punch him. Also when Claire's talking with Jim on the school's roof and he keeps making jokes ughhh. I know that's his personality, but I don't think this is a situation to be joking around.
Maybe this is me being dumb, but Aaarrrgghh!!!'s so quickly changing his opinion about Troll Jim feels weird to me, idk.
I don't like Merlin so, him in general lmao.

paul wesley is just too sharp - he has too much of a naturally sarcastic and serious demeanor. he doesn’t have the softTM kirk appeal. he doesn’t have the cheery cheeks and glint in his eye. he doesn’t have the bowl full of jelly belly. y’know what i’m saying.

The Passion Of Jimbriel
Part 1: The Entry into Soho
The story of events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus, and the days following, until his ascension to Heaven, are collectively known as the Passion narratives. It comes from the Latin "to suffer," or "to endure."
More than one op has mentioned there are parallels to this in S2, so I thought I would try and find how well the whole narrative was followed. Oh yes, is the short answer, it certainly does! And how! And in places you might be surprised about. I hope this series of metas might answer some of the odd mysteries of "why is that there...? that are still floating around at the moment for you.
I've tried to match the narratives to scenes and incidents in S2 as closely as I can, but I only have sketchy Anglican Christian background, so if you have had a more thorough Catholic upbringing than me and see something I have missed, slip me a message and I'll do my best to edit things.
A word of warning before we start - it's not a linear match-up. I'm planning to run through the traditional sequence of the Passion in order, but will match with the S2 scenes as needed, and those are scattered back and forth in time. It's Catch-22 again - everything thrown up in the air and landing at seeming random places, where ever they seem to fit best for the narrative.
Tumblr media
AZIRAPHALE: Ah, you startled me. GABRIEL: Is that good? AZIRAPHALE: I just didn't see you coming.
I actually thought I might start with this little scene, where Jim gives Aziraphale a jump-scare by creeping up next to him silently. Annoyed, Aziraphale tells him to make some noise as he moves about, and Jim trolls him with some creaking noises, before starting to sing.
Tumblr media
There were prophecies about the arrival of Jesus, but the ironic thing here is that Aziraphale, someone who has a vast collection of prophecies and is someone you could consider an expert, had no warning of Gabriel's arrival - he just crept up to the door as a nasty surprise!
Tumblr media
Starting proper, there were the three temptations while Jesus was fasting in the wilderness.
Making bread out of stones (I've also covered the Eccles Cakes here in the Altar of Eccles Cakes. They have multiple purposes!)
Tumblr media
2. Being tempted to jump from a pinnacle of a temple and relying on angels to break his fall.
Tumblr media
3. Being tempted to worship Satan in return for ruling all the kingdoms of the world.
This one was actually covered in S1, at Golgotha. I know Crowley mentioned to Aziraphale that he was the one who tempted Jesus, but I wrote a meta about it because I realized most people were missing the joke in the TWO demon names that Aziraphale suggested Crowley had changed his name to, and how that relates to that particular temptation.
Tumblr media
The last miracle performed before the Passion was the raising Lazarus from his tomb, four days after he had died.
Tumblr media
After Crowley is dragged down to Hell for an interview with Lord Beelzebub and finds out they are being threatened with the Book Of Life for being involved with Gabriel, he rushes back to Aziraphale and says they have to hide them. As they decide they will try a shared minor miracle Jimbriel descends the spiral staircase:
GABRIEL: Hello. Where did you come back from? CROWLEY: Outside. GABRIEL: Outside? Hmm. Is it big? Can I see the outside? CROWLEY: No, no, no, no, no. No, no no. You need to stay here, inside the bookshop. We can look after you in here. Just stay here.
Inside? Inside the tomb? Aziraphale has even 'wrapped' him up for the occasion.
Later, we find out that:
AZIRAPHALE: Jim is in his bedroom upstairs. I told him bookshops are always closed on a Wednesday. As for Inspector Constable, at a guess, they were sent to verify the 25 Lazarii miracle you and I seem to have accidentally performed together the other night. CROWLEY: That's how you lot measure miracles? How many times it could have brought someone back from the dead?
Uh huh. The miracle of Lazarus.
The Entry into Jerusalem
Jesus made his way into Jerusalem by donkey to show that he came in peace, not as conquering king on a horse. Gabriel does the same.
But he walked in, you say, on foot!
Yes, but he walked by the Dirty Donkey pub on his way to bookshop.
Tumblr media
Next, was the Cleansing of the Temple.
What temple? The bookshop, of course! Is it not a temple of books?
Aziraphale sets Jim to cleaning it, with a duster.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'd say you could also call the bookshop a temple to Crowley - it is decorated in his colours, after all. The presence of Jim initially drives the merchants and money dealers demon away, snatching his sunglasses from his mini-altar as his goes.
The last step on the Passion I'll cover in this meta is the Anointing of Jesus. It tells the story of how Jesus had an expensive perfume, worth a year's wages, poured on his feet from an alabaster jar by woman who was considered sinful. The gathered Disciples were aghast at this waste - they asked why she did not sell the perfume instead and give the money to the poor. Jesus thanked her for preparing him for burial.
This one had me stumped for a while, and I had to think hard about where something had been "poured out" on feet, because I was pretty sure no one had been "anointed" on the head, which is another version of this part of the narrative. Then I remembered seeing a GIF that was Aziraphale focusing on the floor for a number of seconds after Crowley had upended the box Gabriel had carried to the bookshop with his fly in it to read the message on the bottom of the box.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My precious...! You poured them out at your feet, Crowley!
Alabaster is a soft white stone that is easy to carve. The bland cardboard box makes a good analogy for this. And in it we see Aziraphale has filled it with priceless treasures - not one but two lost Shakespeare plays!
If at this point you are going "Wait - Wot? Now you're telling me both Jim/Gabriel and Crowley are playing the part of Jesus here?" I'm saying yes. It's not the first time I've said it. I'm not the only op who has been saying it, either. And as we head into part two of this meta you'll see Crowley take on more of this role from Jim/Gabriel. The two of them have a lot in common, much more than you might have suspected or might even want to acknowledge. This is the past echoing into the present again. I think it also gives us some interesting things about the future to contemplate.
Next: Part 2 - Trials and Denials
Where we move on to the Last Supper, and the Arrest of Jesus before his before he is judged before a court of priests and then Pontius Pilate, and the gathered crowd.
This post was inspired by @mr-period 's long meta Remembering Something Forgotten-Where is Jimmy Boy?

Trollhunter!Nomura AU (part 1)
Tumblr media
This AU was made by me and @elegantjellyfishwerewolf (check her account to find more information about it).
Now I want to tell you the beginning of this story.
At this AU Strickler begin to date Barbara two months before the main events. Their relationship got started because of Jim's lack of sleep and lateness at school. As a result, Strickler and Barbara become very close to each other and Jim Jim begins to subconsciously perceive Strickler as his father.
//two months later//
After Kanjigar’s death Strickler gives an order to Nomura to check the canal and take the amulet before it will choose another trollhunter. As Nomura came to the canal the amulet calls out her name and she realizes that it’s not good to her. Because of fear that Bular and Janus Order will kill her as soon as she would open the bridge, she doesn’t go to Strickler.
Instead of it Nomura goes to hide in her apartments where Blinky and Aargh visit her and say that she is new trollhunter now. They quickly understand that she is changeling, Nomura runs from them at the panic and trolls go chasing her. At the same time Toby goes out from dentist and notices three running creatures at twilight. He feels a bit scared but at the same time curious and decides to follow them on a bike. After a “jogging” trolls and changeling come to a temporary truce because Blinky and Aargh realize that Nomura isn’t interested at opening the bridge and Nomura doesn’t see aggression towards herself in their behavior. Toby hears their entire conversation, but reveals his presence with some noise. Nomura notices him and is going to kill him as witness, but Blinky stops her from that and they let Domzalski go on the condition that he does not tell anyone what he saw.
At the same time at the Lake house Strickler proposed to Barbara to get married at dinner and she accepts it. Some later at the same evening he gets an information from goblins that the new trollhuner is Nomura now and it makes him nervous because she knows EVERYTHING about their plans. He sends an urgent order to send NotEnrique on the surface to replace by him Nomura’s place and go by himself to get Angor Rot from his prison because he isn’t sure in Bular’s powers. He wants to destroy the new trollhunter as soon as possible.Strickler brings Angor to Arcadia the very next day. As in canon, Angor doesn’t trust to changeling words that his soul will be free again and preparing a trap to him. At some critical moment Strickler barks at his slave saying something like “Do anything!” and at the next moment Angor cuts off part of left hand on which he was wearing Inferno Copula. Angor takes back his soul but let Strickler go.
Walter gets to the hospital and Barbara is very shocked at the way he looks like. After an attempt was made on Strickler's life while he was in the ward, the fact is that the Order of Janus, specifically Otto, found out about Walt's offer about marriage and decided that their leader had softened. There is an explosion in the hospital as a result of which Strickler survives, but Barbara....does not. At this time Angor decides to redeem himself and therefore comes to the Trollmarket to take on the duties of an absent trollhunter. At first, trolls don’t trust him and a bit afraid of killer, but Vendel because of rumors that the new trollhunter might be a human or changeling decides to accept Angor’s proposal. Draal initially perceives this decision of the elder negatively and challenges Angor to a duel during which he loses (the fight was not public, so Draal did not lose his honor), but Angor decides not to kill him and so they both begin to respond to the calls that were intended for the hunter.
While Nomura moves from her apartments to motel, Strickler replaces the missing part of his arm with a prosthesis (a metal prosthesis with hidden golden claws) and finds out who organized the attempt on him (it was Otto). He comes to the Order of Janus and demonstratively kills Otto (who has already managed to proclaim himself the new head) in front of other changelings, as if saying that he should not be discounted. The changelings recognize Strickler's power and he becomes the leader of the order again.
Enrique is substituted, but NotEnrique verysoon reveals his essence to Claire and she threatens the changeling and asks him to take her to her brother, but Neenrique decides to bring her to the entrance to the Trollmarket in the hope that by penetrating there she will be eaten and he will get rid of the witness. Claire enters the Trollmarket and getting found by Angor. Nunez, impressed by the magic of Angor Rot, asks him to start training her to prepare before going to the Darklands and saving her brother. Angor initially refuses, but Claire is too persistent and determined in her desire to save her brother, so Angor reluctantly agrees, hoping that she will leave after a couple of grueling training sessions or die in the course of training.Nomura understands that the influence of Janus order is growing and it would be better for her to go to Trollmarket, but she also understands that the trolls most likely will not accept her until she proves that she can be trusted. Therefore, she, along with Blinky, Aaarrgh and Toby, who has followed them, come up with a plan to kill Bular. Everything is going according to plan and Nomura, along with Bular's head, goes to the troll market to finally take her place as a trollhunter.

Troll Jim
-by the way this is when the are traveling to New Jersey for the new heart stone (by the way you are a mage)
you where in a forest not to far from a river where y’all stop to take a break “what are these red and white things that look like trees” blinky questioned Jim responded “those are mush rooms and they tasted amazing sautéed”
Clair comes out from a bush with empty soda cans “here this should last y’all for a few days” Clair sayed in a exiting way “about three days with the amount of us there are and go fetch some water from that river over there” blinky states
Jim runs off towards the river and you follow him with using magic tracking as you hand glow a/c (any color) and you catch up to him and hear “I miss mom so much and the comfort of a bed and everything I have no comfort here it’s all strange land” Jim says upsettingly . You walk over t ok him a start messing with him hair but your hands got stuck from the nots.
“what are you trying to pull my hair out that hurts y/n” Jim yells “sorry but your hair has so many not left I think it needs to be washed” you say Jim sighs “fineeee” you grab a brush and some dog shampoo and conditioner “your hair is going to have to be washed with dog wash because all the nots” you say with a slight smirk on your face “that smells amazing is that lavender” Jim says as you scrub through is hair.
he starts purring ass you rinse his hair in the river. After that you start to brush his hair as his purrs become louder. You stop for a second “I never told you to stop y/n that felt amazing” Jim says while pouting. “Don’t worry I’m about to keep brushing but I have to get you hair out of the brush” after that you keep brushing and he starts purring again.
blinky finds you to and says “Am I interrupting anything or..” “no you weren’t interrupting anything” you say as Jim keeps purring not caring that blinky was there “well you to need to get back to camp we are about to get moving again before night ends” blinky says rushingly.
you and Jim get up and head back to calm to get packed up and you all continue on your journey.
thank you so much for reading this and hope you have a great day.

Halloween story prompt idea:
Sunshine au, the gang somehow accidentally get stuck at a house party when Jim transforms and they have to find a way to:
1) cover for a "missing" Jim who was definitely wearing a different costume and now no one can find
2) explain a completely random stranger showing up uninvited in an awesome and extremely realistic troll costume
3) get transformed Jim out of there without too many people asking questions
“H– Hi Mom,” Claire managed to squeak out “What are you doing home so early?”
Ophelia raised an eyebrow at her as more women, each holding a baby or toddler, streamed into the living room behind her “Enrique’s daycare group is having their Halloween party here tonight, did I not mention it this morning?”
“No I don’t think you did…”
This was bad, they’d planned on having their group meet up at her house because with how early the sun went down this time of year Jim would be ok transforming here and then going home through the woods.
Of course that plan couldn’t account for a herd of babies and their moms occupying the first floor.
“Well uh…I’ll just go back upstairs,” Claire slowly backed out of the room “Tell everyone to keep the volume down so we don’t wake you,”
“Sure sounds great,” Ophelia was already looking away from her, pulling Enrique into his black cat costume.
As soon as she was out of sight Claire broke into a run, racing up to her room, darting inside and slamming the door behind her “We got a big problem, Enrique’s entire daycare group is here!”
You could have heard a pin drop in the stunned silence that followed those words, the four of them staring back at her with expressions of pure horror. 
“Well fuck,” Toby said, breaking the silence.
“Would it kill your parents to tell you their plans ahead of time…” Mary mumbled “Also Toby’s right, we’re screwed,”
Meanwhile Jim had recovered from his shock and shut his jaw with a click “Ok ok ok, no big deal. I’ll climb out on the roof and get to the woods that way,”
Claire felt her teeth digging sharply into her lip “That won’t work. My parents are getting the roof reshingled and have almost all of it stripped off already, so if you go out that way you could slip and wipe out,”
A collective wince rippled through the room.
“Double fuck…”
Abruptly Darci clapped her hands together and got to her feet “Ok, we can do this. You just sneak out real fast and we’ll cover you,”
“We should go now,” Claire added “They’re still getting the babies into their costumes and they’ll be distracted,”
Jim’s expression was still tight and tense but he nodded back at her all the same “Alright, let’s do this,”
Claire cracked open her door and peeked out into the hall. Seeing it was clear she stepped out and waved the others to follow. They crept out into the hall, Claire and Darci in the lead with Mary and Toby trailing behind and Jim tucked in the middle, hood pulled all the way up over his horns.
They made it to the staircase, Claire constantly glancing from side to side and keeping her ears strained for any sudden noises. Waving them ahead, Claire led the group down the stairs, touching down on the main floor without–
Sudden footsteps came from around the corner.
Claire’s heart shot up into her throat “Hide!” she hissed “I’ll cover for you,”
Without wasting a second; Darci, Toby, and Jim hustled through the doorway into the dining room, the door slamming shut behind them just as Claire whirled to face the intruder.
“Oh hello Claire!” Mrs. Knightley beamed at her, a babbling Hailey dressed in a bee costume trailing after her “So nice to see you here!”
Well of course I’m here it’s my house
“Hi Mrs. Knightley, good to see you too,” Claire fixed the smile she used with unfamiliar adults and guidance counselors on her face “Is this Hailey? She’s getting so big!”
Mrs. Knightley beamed “Yes she’s starting preschool this year. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to touch up her make up a bit,”
She stepped around Claire towards the dining room, the same room Jim had gone into–
Quick as a flash Claire and Mary darted in front of her “I don’t think she really needs make up,” Claire had to work hard to make sure her tone was equal parts sincere and convincing and betrayed none of her panic “Her features are so beautiful on their own,”
“Yeah,” Mary piped up “If you want I can give her a baby make up job, it do it for my little cousins all the time–”
“Thank you girls but I’ve worked hard to get the contouring just right and I don’t trust anyone else to do it, now if you’ll excuse me–”
Before they could stop her Mrs. Knightley barged past them and pushed the door open, walking right in on–
“Oh hey, how’s it hanging?” Toby's voice called out.
Hearing a palatable lack of screaming, Claire cautiously peeked past Mrs. Knightley into the dining room. Toby and Darci stood ramrod straight beside the snack laden table, Toby holding a bowl and Darci clutching an apple slice taken from a platter. Each of them sporting wide grins that Claire hoped only looked strained to her.
But where on earth was Jim?
“We were just trying out the snacks,” Darci said, brandishing her apple slice “Gotta make sure they’re good and all,”
Mrs. Knightley’s expression puckered “Please put that down, the snacks are here for the little children,”
“Right right,” Toby set the bowl back down, eyes almost imperceptibly flicking up towards the ceiling.
Stomach churning, Claire lifted her own gaze to the ceiling only to freeze.
Jim was up there, limbs all splayed out clinging to the ceiling like spider man.
Forcing herself to snap out of it, Claire ripped her stare away from the ceiling and back towards Mrs. Knightley.
Ok, so Jim was a wall crawler, that was new, but they could use this. All he had to do to escape was crawl along the ceiling.
And hope to god no one looked up. 
“Well it’s good to see you Mrs. Knightley…” Claire jerked her head up at Jim and then at all the others, before inclining her head towards the still open doorway behind her, slowly starting to back away “We’ll just get out of your hair…” 
The others picked up on what she was doing and followed her lead, inching their way towards the door with Jim crawling along the ceiling.
Mrs. Knightley waved her off from where she’d sat Hailey down and was getting out a container of foundation “Oh yes good to see you to,”
Claire nodded in reply and kept retreating. Once they made it out of the dining room the backdoor was just six feet and one turn away, all they had to–
“Oh, are you doing makeup in here?”
“Yes yes come on in,” 
Claire had to bite back a scream of frustration as a group of moms pushed in from behind her, the room going from wide open to crowded in seconds.
Don’t look up don’t look up whatever you do don’t look–
“Hailey sweetie lean back so I can work under your eyes,”
Claire’s heart stopped as Hailey flopped her head back, getting a full view of the ceiling.
All five of them froze, Hailey’s eyes going wide, a roaring in Claire’s ear as a chubby toddler finger slowly raised to point up at Jim.
“Boogeyman!”
Mrs. Knightley shook her head “Sweetie there’s no such thing as the boogeyman,”
“Boogeyman boogeyman, up up up!”
Mrs. Knightley sighed, more exasperated this time, but she was slowly raising her head towards–
“Hey guys!” Toby’s voice was loud enough to cut through all the chatter in the room, all eyes instantly going to him “Snack spread looks really good, mind if I just snag a few–”
Toby picked up the entire box of cupcakes from the table “So cool if I take this? Awesome, thanks,”
Good news, everyone in the room had forgotten about the ‘boogeyman’. Bad news, all eyes were on Toby and not in a good way.
The sound that came out of Mrs. Knightley could only be described as a screech.
“Oh absolutely not–”
“You kids can each have a cupcake, but not the entire–”
“Young man you put that down right–”
The room devolved into chaos. Women shouting, toddlers wailing, and Toby playing chicken with the cupcake box.
But Claire knew a diversion when she saw one.
Taking advantage of the chaos she all but ran out of the room, opening doors and keeping an eye on the ceiling to make sure Jim was following along on the ceiling. When they finally reached the back door Jim leapt down and they all bolted into the trees.
Only once they were a good distance away did they stop, panting. Going limp as the adrenaline slowly drained away. Looking around Claire saw that there were only three of them. She, Jim, and Darci were here, but Toby and Mary were AWOL. 
The rescue mission would have to come later, first she had to get her heart rate back in the normal range.
“So…” Darci said between pants “You can crawl on walls,”
“Yep,” Jim let out a gusty breath “Turns out I can, so that’s a thing, still not doing that again,”
Claire flopped back on the ground with a groan “Agreed,”
She was glad they’d been able to escape, but she already knew her mom was going to give her hell for this later.
Twigs snapped a short ways away and they all froze, but it was only Toby that came through the bushes.
“Oh man, sorry Claire, but I think I might have burned some bridges with your brother’s daycare group,”
Claire waved him off “Don’t worry about it, none of them are going to risk pissing off the councilwoman who controls their budget. Is Mary with you?”
Toby’s face went red “I…uh…might have tossed the box of cupcakes at her, and booked it the other way,”
Darci gave him an even look “You do know that she’ll kill you for that?”
“Better her than the Karen brigade,” Toby started and flashed Claire and apologetic look “Sorry,”
“Hey you’re not wrong,”
More crunching echoed in the dark woods, the four of them turning towards the sound to see Mary stomping through the trees, face bright red and gaze smoldering “You. Guys. Owe. Me. Big.” 
Jim raised both hands placatingly “Oh definitely, you guys saved my ass in there. I owe you one for sure,”
Still looking angry, but more placated now Mary plunked down on the ground next to Claire. It was only now that Claire still noticed she was holding the cupcake box.
“Mrs. Knightley might be obnoxious, but we really shouldn’t take all their cupcakes,”
“We’ll give them back, but I nearly got trampled by a horde of babies and their moms over these cupcakes, I earned one,” with that Mary pulled back the top of the box, lifted out a cupcake, and sank her teeth into the orange frosting.
After a few seconds Toby reached in after her and did the same, then Darci.
Oh what the heck.
Claire grabbed a cupcake herself, the four of them sitting on the ground in the dark forest munching on their cupcakes while Jim watched with piqued interest.
“So when you guys are done can I–”
“Don’t worry,” Toby gulped down his mouthful of cake “We’ll save you the paper wrappers,”
Jim grinned “You guys are the best,”
Mary swallowed “And don’t you forget it,”

Masterlist
Tumblr media
Y/n looked around the room, the once dark and colorless basement was now an art gallery full of colorful paintings of creatures that shouldn’t exist against vibrants backgrounds.
She observed her mother paint a portrait the size of the wall of her ex-boyfriend's troll from with an intensity she had never seen before. She didn’t even know her mother could paint.
“Mom, I packed you lunch!” Jim screamed from the kitchen.
“Down here honey!” Screamed back Barbara without taking her eyes from the painting.
Jim slowly walked down stairs and saw her sister sitting in a stool observing the spectacle.
“What’s going on?” He mouthed.
Y/n shrugged, she was just as confused, with her head she pointed at the big Mr. Strickler’s painting.
Jim’s eyes opened like plates.
“So, what do you think? I call it “Goodbye, Walt” You warned me he was bad news, but I didn’t listen. Then he vanished without a goodbye. What kind of man does that? Hence the horns. They’re symbolic” Barbara proudly showed off her painting.
“Wow, mom. Quite the imagination” Jim turned to Y/n.
“Yeah” Y/n is lost for words. She didn’t know what to do “Now, I know where I got my artistic side is from”
“Aw, thank you sweety” Barbara pinched Y/n’s cheek “First your father, and now him. I swear, if I ever see Walt again…”
“On that note,” Jim nervously chuckled, starting to go upstairs “gotta run”
“Coward” Y/n whispered.
“Hello” Y/n announced her arrival at the bookstore.
“Hello, love” Douxie emerged from under the counter mirroring the smile in Y/n’s face “You’re early. I thought you were coming for lunch. We were going to the park”
Y/n walked to Douxie and kissed his cheek.
“Are you kicking me out?” She chuckled against his cheek.
“What?! No?!” He screamed. For a moment, fear creeped on Douxie's spine. Did he make Y/n feel rejected?
“Relax” Y/n rested her head on his shoulders, and patted his chest “I just wanted to see you. Is that such a crime?” It wasn’t a complete lie. Y/n wanted to see Douxie, she always wanted to see him. But today, she needed to get out of her house, stay away from her mother’s art.
“Stop toying with the kid. He only slept two hours” Archie jumped on top of the counter.
“Hi to you too, Arch” Y/n scratched the cat’s chin.
“Yeah, sorry. I’m a little bit on edge. It was a long night. Too many trolls in Arcadia wreaking havoc” Douxie let himself fall on the chair “Do you know what’s up with that?”
Y/n nodded. She doesn’t want to lie to Douxie but if she told him the truth she knew he would want to help and that would open a can of worms that she doesn’t want to deal with just yet.
“No idea” she shook her head “that’s weird” she observed Douxie’s dark eyebags “Hey, why don’t you go lay down until lunch and I stay here?”
“No. No. I’m okay” he straightened himself in the chair, dropping a cup with pens with his elbow.
Y/n and Archie shared a look.
“You’re not” Y/n gently push him from the shoulders of the chair “you’re missing a cat and you didn’t notice it”
“No, Al is…��� Douxie started to look everywhere as Y/n guided him to the stairs.
“See? Go to sleep. See you at lunch” Y/n waved until Douxie disappeared into the distance. She turned to Arch “Where’s Al, anyway?”
“Who knows. He said something about a meeting with a duck and then something about a dandelion and tacos” Archie rolled his eyes.
“Don’t laugh at him. Is always important to have connections”
Y/n helped out a few regulars and a few not so regulars during the afternoon. Time moved slowly, the dog outside the bookstore sniffed the tree comically slow until he found a spot, the traffic lights wouldn’t change colors, everything seemed to move so painfully slow. She looked back at Archie to see if he was also affected by this strange phenomenon but he was belly up under a ray of sunshine. She smiled and walked the small store coming back to the spot where Douxie had given her her old book. She couldn’t see it back then but now, with this piece of the puzzle back in its place she could recognise that Douxie had reconstructed her old bookshelf from their time in Camelot.
“Lady Y/n” Hisirdoux shyly knocked on the door.
“Come on in” Y/n answered, her voice almost above a whisper. She was laying on the floor with her back against the bookshelf, her nose buried in a red leather bound book and her bare feet were covered by her faithful friend, Alfred.
“Where…?” Hisirdoux looked around the room until he saw the cat’s brown tail coming from under the bed “Y/n?” He called.
“Mmmh?” She lifted her view from the book, her hair was in a perfect braid but she was still in her nightgown.
“Master M…”
“Y/n?” Morgana pushed the door wide open.
Hisirdoux jumped back like a cat.
“Why aren't you wearing your dress?” The woman grabbed the dress from the bed and ran next to the girl.
“I thought I had time” Y/n looked at Hisirdoux her eyes filling with tears “I…I…”
From the hallway, they could hear the echo of the steps followed by a staff hitting the stone covered floor.
Hisirdoux’s heart fell to his stomach when he saw Y/n’s red eyes.
“Hisirdoux, can you distract him?” Asked Morgana as she prepared the girl’s dress.
Hisirdoux pursed his lips and nodded before running down the hallway.
Y/n smiled while the tears fell as she heard Hisirdoux’s insanes complain about his lack of staff.
“He is nice” Morgana whispered .
Y/n’s cheeks redden as her bracelet, she lowered her head and played with it while Morgana tightened her corset.
The woman chuckled, “He could be a nice friend… Like in the book”
“But…”
“And, don’t…but mater me”
“Y/n?! Y/n?!” Douxie screamed.
Y/n blinked a couple times and came back to the floor of the bookstore. Her knees red from supporting her weight on the floor. She looked around. She doesn’t remember getting to the ground, she doesn’t remember grabbing the book.
“Love?!” Douxie asked, voice laced with desperation.
“Doux? When did you wake up?” Y/n tried to get up but her legs failed her, luckily, Douxie caught her before she could hit the floor.
“A couple minutes ago. What happened?” He guided her to the small couch and crouched in front of her.
“I..I was looking at the books and then…I had a vision?” She frowned.
“A vision?” He repeated.
“From the past…remember the morning after Morgana gave me the anthology?”
Douxie smiled at the memory, that was the beginning of their friendship.
“I was ten and you were nine and deadly afraid of angering your father” he said a little absent minded.
“Yeah…I almost remembered him” she looked at him, her eyes full of tears like that morning.
“You’ll remember him” Douxie’s heart fell to his stomach just like that morning.
Y/n looked deeply into Douxie's hazel eyes, the only eyes that she ever wanted to look at in moments like this and closed the distance kissing him, her hands quickly finding their home amongst his hair. Douxie instantly returned the kiss with the same sweetness but more desperation. Everytime they would touch, he needed to taste every drop of it, even if it was an accidental graze of hands during the day.
His hands lifted her from the couch and her legs quickly snaked around his waist.
“Doux” Y/n panted, holding his cheeks “people can see us”
“I don’t care” he whispered, his eyes full of lust going back and forth between her eyes and her lips.
“Doux…”Y/n whispered. She was shocked. Douxie was a little more shy than that.
“Let’s go upstairs” he said into her ear before biting her earlobe.
“Mmmh” she laughed.
As Douxie’s feet would step each step of the stairwell, Y/n’s heart would pound faster, stronger. She hid her face on Douxie’s neck but the familiar smell did nothing to calm the tremors in her hands, in her torso.
Douxie laid both of them on the couch of the second floor where they would usually nap and started to kiss Y/n’s neck, his hands slowly feeling her stomach up to her sides. Y/n instinctively opened her legs to give him space, her hips moved against his, her hands went to his chest, her body reacted to his but a part of her mind was confused.
“You’re so pretty” Douxie's voice brought her to the present. His shirt was missing, his toned chest exposed for Y/n to see.
“Look who’s talking” she put a hand on his now red chest and pushed him back.
“So pretty” he repeated as he observed her while she sat on top of him.
Y/n kissed him again and again and slowly went down from his mouth, to his chin, to his neck, to the spot under his jaw where she could feel his pulse. Douxie groaned making Y/n smile but it quickly got erased from her face when her hands started to shake again while Douxie took out her shirt leaving her with her bra exposed.
Y/n put her hands on Douxie’s shoulders and moved her hips, maybe if her hands felt him they would remember him.
“Y/n?” Douxie’s hand caressed Y/n cheek “are you alright?”
She looked down at him, at his eyes full of worry and smiled.
“Of course” she kissed him but this time he didn’t return it as passionately as before, this time was sweet, understanding.
With a swift move he was on top of her again and could inspectionate her face more clearly.
“No, you’re not” he furrowed “we don’t have to do this, love” he started to pull back.
“No, I want this” she put her hand on his shoulder “it just…” she felt the blood rush to her cheeks. To Y/n Ambrosius it isn’t a big deal but to Y/n Lake it is “You know…”
But Douxie’s big eyes told her he didn’t know.
“I know that you and I…you know but…Y/n Lake hasn’t” she explained.
“I don’t follow” he whispered.
“You’re gonna make me say it” she whispered to herself “Y/n Lake is still part of me, right?”
He nodded.
“Y/n Lake is a…virgin”
Douxie’s blood drained from his face and came back in a rush.
“Oh. Oh” he sat on his heels “I see”
Y/n sat up, her body warming up from the shyness “I want this”
Douxie chuckled and kissed her cheek.
“Me too but…” he grabbed both cheeks with his hands “this time has to be special too” kissing her nose.
The butterflies ruptured Y/n’s stomach traveling through her body. She nodded, a lovesick smile plastered on her face.
“I was falling asleep. Was it necessary to call me sixty five times?” Y/n screamed as she opened Claire’s bedroom door.
Claire was floating in the middle of the room. The boys had tied her up chains that her magic seemed unable to break. 
“I’ll wear your spine as my crown, peasants!” Claire screamed in anger.
“That’s a new one” said Jim pointing his bat to Claire.
“Her creativity knows no bounds” added Toby.
Claire screamed, throwing Jim and Toby threw the air with her magic. Y/n was able to stay put on the door. She had been more thrown out by the familiarity of the magic than the magic itself. She took a step forward, her eyes focused on the changed Claire, her voice was different and so was her magic.
“Apologies for my delay” Blinky barged into the room and was able to set the chair back into the ground and with a quick move of a stone set the chains back into place.
The troll explained the why of his delay but Y/n couldn’t hear. She was consumed by the weight in her throat, by the burning in her eyes, something in Claire’s eyes was pulling her to the ground.
“Does the name Morgana mean anything to you?” Jim asked Blinky.
Y/n mouth hung open. The memory of the red haired woman holding her hand through the woods, braiding her hair, teaching her magic, being slayed by a sword, all came back like a stab to the heart. The myth was true. Morgana was alive.
“Morgan Le Fay, Merlin’s apprentice” explained Blinky, scared of naming the monster.
“Like Merlin who made my amulet?” asked Jim
“No” whispered Y/n and took a step back.
“I spit on his name as I spit on his grave” Morgana chuckles “Don’t we, Birdie?” She looked directly at Y/n.
“Sounds like they didn’t get along” Toby hid behind Jim.
Y/n kept walking backwards until her legs hit the bed and sat down, too afraid to make a sound.
“He thinks he can be rid of me? The fool” she laughs and turns to the guys in front of her “I will erase his name and all of his creations”
Y/n looked down at her hands and saw the tears falling down. She wasn’t sure of what she was more afraid of: the ghost in front of her or what the ghost could do to her friends.
She turned to the door and ran. Afraid that the grief and the nostalgia would bend her will. Ran far from Claire’s house, from Douxie’s library, she ran until her feet ached, until her knees gave up and then, she fell to the ground, her hands softening the blow.
A broken sob escaped her throat, her body gave out, falling to the side on top of the grass. She pulled her knees to her chest and prayed that the darkness of the night was enough to hide her from the world.
One last sob abandoned her lips before closing her eyes:
“I want my father”
“Good morning” whispered a familiar raspy voice.
Y/n felt a familiar hand caressing her hair. Without opening her eyes she leaned into the touch, she knew that feeling before she was even born. She stretched her hand and grabbed the familiar robe, an old habit she hadn’t shaken.
“Come one, Birdie, open your eyes” the man insisted, moving the final strand of hair from her face.
“No” she clutched the robe tighter and moved closer to the warmth that the man’s body provided.
“Why?” The man chuckled.
“I’m afraid” she cried.
“What?” The man grabbed Y/n and cradled her “Why?”
“I’m afraid you won’t be there when I open my eyes” she grabbed the closest piece of fabric she could feel.
“Oh, Birdie” the man rocked her “Of course I’ll be here”
Y/n slowly opened her eyes and under the light of the sun she saw a man with crystalline blue eyes.
“Father?” She asked before the weight of reality brought her back and made her realize that she was alone and that her father was laying on a tomb waiting to be awakened.
Tumblr media
A/n: was that a lot?
-Yes -No
Did you expect the revelation?
-Yes -No -Why would you do that to a child?
Can you tell I have daddy issues by my choice of father?
-Yes -Yes

Reasons why i don't hate RotT.
Tumblr media
In all the years since the movie came out there's been such an avalanche of hate towards it that i preferred not to write my thoughts about it. I get it, it's not the end we had expected, but i don't agree with the fandom's general opinion.
Hopefully after all this time the hatred has diminished enough so that at least some people will give my words a chance. I will try to stick to facts, not opinions. Spoilers ahead this point.
From what i've read, the fandom has two main problems with the ending: the characters' development was 'lost' with the time reset and Toby being the new trollhunter. So many things i want to say at once,... First, it was a time reset, not going to an alternate universe. What do i mean by this? The time reset didn't take away all the potential of any of the characters. -Blinky and Jim's father-son relationship. That relationship grew after spending time together; all the training, all the challenges, etc. Ok yes, Toby is now the one with the amulet, but Toby and Jim are best friends. So, just the same way Toby got into the trollhunters team the first time, Jim will get to join too. Jim and Blinky will get to spend time together again, how can people think their relationship will not grow again into what it was? Because Toby now has the amulet? Come on, Blinky became like a father to Jim because of who Jim is, not because he had an amulet.
Tumblr media
The training will now be focused on Toby, not Jim. So? That means more Jim-Blinky time. I can see them both side by side exchanging opinions while watching Toby's training.
Tumblr media
-Strickler. Do i really need to spend time on probing how Strickler will become good again? Wasn't it left quite clear that the story was going to head that way again? His love for Barbara was true. That's why Jim invited him to have dinner and meet his mother, to start that change in him. It's not as if Strickler had been this evil-concentrated kind of character. He was perfectly capable of change. And Jim's knowledge is the key for it to happen again. I think Jim's knowledge has been terribly underestimated by the fandom, but i will get to that later.
-Claire. Jlaire. How can some people doubt if it will happen again?
Tumblr media
With the way they showed us Claire was looking at Jim it was left crystal clear they were going to become a couple again.
Tumblr media
About Claire's powers. She discovered them after she stole the shadow staff from Angor Rot. Let's say Jim manages to change things and Strickler becomes good sooner, then he wouldn't release Angor Rot. So? Was Strickler the only changeling in Arcadia? Or in the world? Any other changeling can do that. Let's push it further and say no one will release Angor. Still, the shadow staff was just a tool. Claire had magic in her, it was part of her nature. I mean...
Tumblr media
She eventually learned how to do magic without the shadow staff. You may be thinking "But if she never gets the shadow staff then how can she learn to use magic?". The time reset brought back Gunmar, Bular, Morgana, etc. Also the Janus Order. Magical battles are to be expected again. Plenty of opportunities for her to learn about her magic in a different way than the shadow staff. And let's not forget that also Douxie is back in Arcadia. He could come to detect Claire's potential and train her. As i said, many ways for her to become Miss Super Witch again.
Tumblr media
-Steve. Of course I wasn't going to leave The Palchuck out. :) Four things were the main ingredients to Steve's arc. Jim's punch, Aja, that goblin that introduced him to the troll's world, and Eli. Jim has seen what Steve can become. I seriously doubt he will do nothing about it. Aja is Aja, she will hit the blond oaf once more. Again, i have no doubt about it. About that troll Steve met while taking out the trash. Arcadia is infested with trolls, so... When Steve approaches Eli again, i seriously doubt Eli's response would be different. So, I really think Sir Steve of Palchukia hasn't vanished from the new future. -Toby. I read someone saying that Toby wouldn't last a minute fighting against Bular. Yes, Toby is overweight. But honestly, when fighting a huge troll that is over 5,200 years, it's more about the lack of experience. Besides, remember how once transformed the amulet gives magical protection. There's another thing. A theory that i hadn't thought of but recently read. By the time the time reset happens Jim has his new amulet. So, wouldn't it follow that now there will be two amulets? Maybe Jim wouldn't use it right away. That's something we won't get to know, but can't we try to be more positive here? Another thing i've also read is people thinking the main characters won't meet again. Let's see... Jim is Toby's best friend. Toby now has the amulet, so through Toby Jim will meet Blinky, Aaarrrgh and all the other trolls again. Do you really think Jim and Toby will leave Claire out of the team? Seriously? Douxie, as i said before, the time reset didn't change the fact of Douxie living in arcadia. They are so meeting again. Aja and Krel will still need to leave Akiridion 5. So, there you go, those two will be in the same school again. Morando couldn't care less who got the amulet, he will still be coming. Most, if not all, the challenges that brought all the team together will happen again.
I'm sorry but a lot of people seem to be a bit too keen on wanting the worst case scenarios to happen after the time reset, even when what was shown to us in the trilogy didn't point that way. How can i be so sure? Well, didn't Nari said "Krohnisfere will make right"? Is it too crazy to think that she meant that things will be better after the time reset? That the time reset is the path towards the complete defeat of their enemies with as little deaths as possible on the side of good? Think about it. If the reset had brought them back to the beginning of the movie then the lives of Strickler, Nomura, Toby could be saved, but by going so far back to the past more lives can be saved: Vendel, Draal, Aja and Krel's parents. As i mentioned before, Jim's knowledge has been terribly underestimated. In this second chance Jim now knows that Usurna is a traitor. He knows the location of the Janus Order, the location of Merlin, etc., etc. This information will become so powerful. Isn't the chance to save all these lives enough to make the ending not terrible? The characters' developments weren't lost, just reset. And as i said in this post, i don't see why they won't grow again into what they had become. I guess the writers must had wanted to give us a different kind of ending. They took the risk and there we have the result. I get that the fandom wanted an ending with no loose ends, as little sacrifices as possible, but i do think the hate was too much. I can't help to feel sorry for the writers. All their hard work grilled the way it's been done. And think about the negative impact on people who hasn't see the show and feels curious about it. If they do a little research to learn where the story starts or just want to share their love for the first part of the trilogy they would surely come across hate towards RotT and maybe drop the show.
Anyway, hopefully some people will not hate the ending so much after reading my post.

In trollhunters the trolls seem to have a different way of speech then humans, it isn't really seen much and is quite subtle but it is interesting
Take how the trolls say 'trollhunter' for example, to see it watch to catch a changeling when draal trains jim
Humans say trollhunter like 'tr-owl-hunter' (not trowl, like the garden equipment) and trolls say 'tr-oll-hunta'
Blinky however is more sophisticated and says a more human pronunciation, this could also be a lazy voice actor thing? I personally like think it's detail
Another example is blinky saying Argentina. now in the dreamworks art book it shows the trollish alphabet and it has some letters missing and some traded for foreign letters, like that skandinavian 'd' with a line through the stick, meaning trolls will say things we aren't used to in English.
But circling back to blinky, in roaming fees may apply he says 'ar-hen-tina' to which claire repeats it and says it like 'ar-gen-tina'
This can also be repeated in how vendel and draal say Barbara as 'bar-bu-ruh'
I will not include arg in this because it isn't a natural sort of thing, his way of speech was forced
These are the only things at the top of my head, please feel free to expand on this

Is there anything you headcannon about Jim and Blinky's father/son relationship? Same with Jim and Strickler once Strickler changes sides.
Oh yes! Plenty of headcanons for Jim and his troll dad's!!
For Blinky and Jim's father/son relationship I HC that:
Blinky likes to read out loud to Jim till he falls asleep, it's the only way Jim will actually rest, and Jim never got the chance for his deadbeat dad to read to him. This is definitely inspired by @bluheaven-adw but I think I love this HC myself now too!
While Blinky is really open with hugs and verbal affirmations of love for Jim, Jim is... Not so verbal about it and prefers to show his love physically by doing things for others, and of course cooking!
Blinky definitely saw Jim as his son before Jim did. I think when they built the vespa together Blinky knew.
Jim sort of has informal therapy sessions with Blinky about Trollhunting related stuff. Blinky always listens to him without judgement and always is ready to impart advice and wisdom to Jim.
This one's a little darker, but I think Blinky is always terrified whenever Jim goes to fight/performs Trollhunting duties, he worries a lot about Jim's human fragility and I think often even has nightmares about Jim dying, because as he is his trainer he'd feel responsible if he died. And that's his son, and he can't even protect him in combat. But he'd never admit that to Jim.
For Strickler and Jim's father/son relationship I HC that:
Both Strickler and Jim are hopeless when it comes to verbal affirmations of love and affection. They just don't know how to do it. This often results in painfully awkward interactions. It's only when things get emotional that they open up, or if the other has been in danger.
Jim first saw Strickler as a father figure, but didn't know if Strickler felt the same before Canon, and was even less sure of it after everything was said and done. Strickler meanwhile, always had a soft spot for Jim, even when they were enemies, but never showed it. Basically they're bad at communicating too lol.
Strickler and Jim like to joke about their time spent trying to kill one another, but I think they both use humour to deflect serious feelings. They were hurt in different ways during the time Strickler was still an antagonist, and it took a LOT of time and effort on Strickler’s part for them both to gain a better father/son relationship with one another.
Strickler is also terrified that something might happen to Jim that results in major injury or even death. (or worse, that he'd be the cause of it) He hides it by being tough on Jim while he trains him and trying to make Jim be more aggressive and ruthless, all in a bid to ensure Jim can defend himself from anyone. Not the best thing to do, but that's his way of caring.
When Jim becomes half-troll (timeline ambiguous) that's when he and Strickler truly bond. Strickler shows him how to acclimate to life as a troll and accept that part of himself, and they both lament the things they (miss) love about being human.

Maybe it's because it's 3:30 am, but I'm rewatching the Trollhunters finale and I'm so confused as to why did they tell Toby to stay in Arcadia instead of going with them to New Jersey. They said it was because he was the only one who could keep the city safe but... Keep it safe from what? Trollmarket didn't exist anymore, the majority of the trolls (idk about changelings or like the forest ones) went to NJ, Gunmar was dead, Morgana was trapped in the shadows realm. No imminent danger.
Of course I'm thinking this from Jim's and the crew perspective, they didn't know aliens would come to Arcadia in 3Below or fucking time travel bullshit would happen, but idk dude, it just feels so dumb to tell him to stay in the city.
Maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm to tired to realize some obvious detail, I don't know anymore

Fantasy Recommendations Wanted
I already have 28 unread books to read before I purchase anything else, nevertheless, I want some very specific recommendations on fantasy books!
I have enjoyed lots of fantasy in the past (Pratchett being the bridge for ten year old me from kid books to non-kid books before the age of YA) but 99% of the books shelved in a bookshop Fantasy/Sci-Fi section leave me cold.
My absolute favourite fantasy novels are:
The His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman
The Earthsea series by Ursula LeGuin
Little, Big by John Crowley
Lud in the Mist by Hope Mirless
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye by AS Byatt
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
Both of Susanna Clarke’s novels (Piranesi and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel)
The Once and Future King by TH White
Also, not a novel, but Jim Henson’s The Storyteller series is the epitome of fairytale storytelling as far as I’m concerned, where everything happens after a year and a day or in a week with two Sundays or to a seventh son of a seventh son. The story The Luck Child in particular still makes me well up.
The issue is, that although I absolutely adore those books listed above, that’s about as far as it goes, almost everything else I try does nothing for me. I’ve read all of Pratchett, Gaiman and Tolkien too and enjoy them (The Watch books, Troll Bridge and The Hobbit being my favourite of each). I like the first few Robin Hobb books, I like the bits I choose to like from Narnia, I liked the first Scott Lynch book and I liked/detested The Magicians series in equal measure.
So, what am I missing? I much prefer whimsy to grizzled be-stubbled men with a grudge, I much prefer a magic system to be based on endearing nonsense rather than maths and physics and if I’ve not listed a major series/trilogy of some kind then I’ve probably tried and not liked it. I’m not particularly interested in YA (a personal preference rather than a value judgment!)
Recommendations gleefully accepted!

trollhumters s3 episode 7 - i stopped in the middle of the episode last time for some reason. not 100% sure what's happening but I'll figure it out.
the parents vonding is so cute.
Strickland testing the: this terrible experience can ve a funny story someday" effect. semi-successful. A bit too soon.
"we'll let you know if we make it out alive 😉" JIM. JIM YOUR POOR MOTHER.
RULE NUMBER THREE! love me some #3.
Draal and jim like. having fun in the middle of this is so cu-ah.
no dont revive that old man :/
wait can he,, not do simple math?
another idea... did he just make this giant cave,, name it "tomb" so no one would bother him.
"i am your father" why.
okay okay so let me. merlin do you really have future sight or are you just going off of what you saw in the past. where jim was older. and taller. and a troll. i cant remember if they actually met in wizards I've gotta rewatch it.
Every day i love tovy's nana more.
also i question if they even changed the past. I fully believe that merlin would edit the past or remember it in his own favor considering - *gestures at all of him* *gestures at the genocide that king arthur did* *gestures at the continual editing of this history*
Merlin: makes a map to his tomb that you have to destroy the amulet to get
Merlin: why is my one-of-a-kind amulet destroyed.
Merlin stop being racist challenge.
GET HIS ASS VARVARA! RULE 3!! DESTROY THAT TWUMK!
varvara, the doctor lying through her teeth to the cops as she should ve.
HIS MAME IS WALTOLEMUE did they say that before? i completely missed it. that's unfortunate.
AJA!!! KREL!!!! MY KIDS!!!!! oh they are coming off so much more weird here. also good for them? for figuring out where exactly to put camtaloupia?
i also like that they changed how they were animating aja's hair in 3 below. its very distracting here.
MRS MOMURA WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING THE ART!? WITH YOUR HAMDS!! GIRL.
"define 'legal'" aja i love you.
HE COULD FLY THIS EMTIRE TIME???
oh his vespa... that one hurts.
this all is very interesting, but i've just been reminded how much I love three below so im going to take a break to go rewatch that. This is now a three below post.
"you will not face it alone. because you will always have your family" WELL TEAR MY HEART OUT WILL YOU. HE WOMT!
"youll always have us. and eachother." 😭

TOA HEADCANONS
uhmm
idk…
i have a lot
but here’s some head canons!!🥰😘
no they’re not organized.
i’m not really adding any ROTT hcs because i haven’t watched that in 2 years…i’m too scared to watch it again.
jim is bi or pan 100%
when toby was 10-13 he would literally go weeks without showers..
Bular isn’t straight either. he’s like under the bi umbrella.
dictatious is gay because like…yea
Gunmar slept with men because women were scarce.
blinky and dictatious both have audhd.
claire isn’t straight either. nobody in toa are straight…
angor called morgana mom more than 4004838 times.
angor is unlabeled.
gunmar and dictatious had a thing while in the darklands… but when they got out gunmar like got colder towards diccy max obvi.
when james sr left it took barbara years to try to get back into dating. like she started to date again when jim was 13.
y’all remember that one gumm-gumm troll who was crying when the nyarlagroths died? his name is jeram. literally sounds like how it looks.
anyway jeram and bular had a “connection” before the killahead bridge battle..iyk;)
bular can actually cook really good troll food (he makes really good…fleshy meals…if your a troll..)
dictatious knew angor rot in the past and they were actually really good friends. prolly more.
douxie used to trip over his staff many times cause he would all ways forget to put it in his bracelet thingy.
Bular was forced(by strickler) to wear a winter coat, pants, boots that were made for him, and a lil beanie when it was snowing outside even though he was used to the snow.
if bular knew what it was he’d definitely play electric guitar.
when given catnip, bular and gunmar(or any other gumm-gumm’s) will go crazy😪
jim hates his full name(James Lake Jr) because he was literally named after his dum dum dad.
toby has a full drawer of phones.
claire used to be a wolf/galaxy girl in elementary or middle school.
steve looked…questionable in middle school.
bular missed jeram every day.
gunmar actually cried alone about his sons death. if you caught him or anyone for that matter he’d kill you.
if bular was human in wizards he’d be some angsty teen.
bular would most definitely listen to queen, korn, mindless self indulgence, and MCR.
jim DOES listen to queen. that’s all he listens too.
jim would cry to the song beautiful boy by john lennon because it’d remind him of his dad in the past.
gunmar was good but tough to bular.
bular would have a love hate relationship with ice cream. he’d hate chocolate but love vanilla.
angor did the whip and nae nae once.
dictatious had a pet goblin who’d he take care of…a lot.. till gunmar ‘accidentally’ stepped on it. diccy was crushed.
dictatious and angor would definitely binge watch steven universe.
THATS ALL!! for now😈😈😈

Missing Trollhunters and absolutely enjoying the rewatch.
I love them all your honor because the trio really do make up Trollhunters.
Claire picking up how to read and talk in Troll, plus being a shadow mage for Trolls that can’t survive sunlight.
Toby being into rocks and minerals, connecting with Arrrgh and making Arrrgh realize that he could still be good and fight to defend.
