#Dramura

[albentelisa]

So, I was brainstorming for a certain fic in progress and realized an interesting detail. Nearly all relevant trolls in Tales of Arcadia are adults. NotEnrique and Deya (well, at least I think she is younger) are the only exceptions. That made me think a bit, and yeah...

What if Draal was way younger? Like a troll equivalent to a human teenager?

that would mean that he wasn't a part of the past conflict, learning about it from other trolls' stories;

obviously, inheriting the mantle of his heroes should have been a big deal (and training for his entire life for the role would have made way more sense);

Kanjigar, most likely, became the Trollhunter in this AU while Draal was big enough to try becoming his helper, which led to putting distance between the two of them);

younger Draal is a big troublemaker, deadset on proving his worth, and incredibly reckless;

the friendship with Jim taught him that he can be a hero without being the Trollhunter. They still have a brother-like relationship

Bonus: younger Nomura (because I can, lol):

rather than Strickler's aide, she is his young and promising protegee

she is also new in the school and befriends Claire (and Claire drags her into the school play);

Nomura still protects the museum, but she isn't a curator (her dad is) and she just spends a lot of time there, pretending to help him;

her relationship with Draal is a rather fresh experience (they broke up about a month before Kanjigar's death). The wounds are fresh for both.

Things I definitely would include in my Trollhunters fic once I'm finished rewriting all of The Avengers in Shakespearean form:

Strickler and Nomuras messy, messy relationship

Autusm👍

Bular and Gunmars messy, messy relationship

Flashbacks and flash forwards

Some Dramura

Dictatious (he's the worst I love him)

More perspective into the Janus Order

Oh? You're thinking of starting a Trollhunters fanfic? That's great! (and so SO sorry for the super late reply😭).

Autism is a must! Since I don't think anyone has explicitly used the word autism in a fic relating to Strickler. Although he's certainly Autistic coded regardless.

We like all the messy relationships here! I'm assuming Jim and Strickler's relationship as well as Stricklake will come up too?

And the Janus Order ALWAYS needs more fleshing out!

@thosetrollkids Changeling. Backstories. O_O

AWESOME TAKE. Strickler's journey about becoming a teacher. Dramura drama. Letting Bular believe he is the boss shenanigans. Goblin society origins. Playing capture the flag Fetch to the death because whoever has it has the power to communicate with the Darklands. You are so right for this

forever salty ToA came out in a time where they decided to consistently crunch episodes down into smaller seasons

Hallmark's "The Wedding Veil" trilogy starring Barbara/Walter, Nomura/Draal, and [insert third ship I couldn't think of here]

(For context, the wedding veil trilogy is about three friends who purchase an antique wedding veil that's rumored to bring love and marriage to whoever owns it. Each movie of the trilogy focuses on one of the friends and their romances while in possession of the veil.)

Changling Family Photos

The Stricklers. I'm honestly not entirely satisfied with how Xena turned out but...

The Scaarbachs. I made it part way threw the drawing and the characters realized that Eli and Toby were to tall so I had to put them on boxes. Also,my firs time time drawing Lenora pregnant!

The Nomura-The-Deadlies. I finnaly learned how to draw Draal! I actually really like this one. 

The Giladrigals. I've been wanting to draw Seamus with his new family for a while and this was the perfect opportunity. I'll probably do one of just him and Cordi some time in the future, too.

Hi!! I like your writings very much and may I ask you to tell something about your headcanons with Draal and Nomura please? About their common past in precanon and "what if" situations if Draal survived in s3👀

Hi!

Oh, I love Dramura so much! My headcanon about their first meeting is that it was an accident and a heavy misunderstanding.

Nomura was on a mission to assist a different changeling in getting a part of the Killahead bridge from the troll warrior living in seclusion. They defeated him together, but the fellow changeling decided to betray and backstab Nomura (as he had been trying to finish the mission for ages until her arrival and understood that Nomura had demonstrated her usefulness, unlike him).

Draal arrived during their fight, killing the other changeling and mistaking Nomura for the lone troll warrior apprentice or associate (Nomura got her khopeshes from that troll, and, apparently, those were passed from master to apprentice).

Draal had seen two trolls fighting and didn't even think it could be a sudden infighting between the allies. And Nomura just decided not to correct him. Firstly, because she wasn't interested in fighting him after having two fights already, and secondly, because it was the first time for her that someone came to help her in a dire situation.

Nomura back then was still more hopeful, and the idea of leaving the Janus Order was oh-so-tempting (not to mention that her impression from Peer Gynt was still fresh). When Draal took Nomura to the Trollmarket, she saw it as her chance and assumed the identity of someone else. She was sure she could pull playing the role of a regular troll as long as there were no gaggletacks in the close vicinity. And who would question her if Draal was the one who brought Nomura in?

For Draal it was an instant crush as he had never met someone as strong, sassy and determined. Besides, Nomura was the first one who never saw him as Kanjigar's son unlike everyone else at the Trollmarket. And she also never expected him to be like his dad or getting the amulet and become the Trollhunter. She was fine with Draal as he was.

As for Nomura, she was scared of her feelings at first (the Janus Order indoctrination left its ugly mark here). She was always uncomfortable at first, expecting some ulterior motive, but Draal with his straightforward personality made her feel at ease at last. She felt she could trust covering her back to Draal and would gladly cover his. The only regret Nomura had was not being able to tell the whole truth, but she hoped she could do it one day.

I believe that Kanjigar was really supportive of that relationship as Draal had seemingly let go of his trollhunter title obsession and seemed calmer and happier with Nomura around. I also like the idea of Kanjigar already starting to treat Nomura like his daughter.

I headcanon that the reveal happened because of Krax (remember the changeling who worked with Usurna?). He thought that everything was Nomura's scheme to get the amulet and that she might also expose him. So Krax first started spreading rumors and feeding Draal's doubts. It ended with Draal doing a gaggletack check.

Obviously, both felt betrayed after that. It only made it worse that Nomura fled before any explanation. So, Draal thought that everything had been just a lie, and Nomura was hurt because Draal didn't trust her enough (yes, she lied but she wanted to tell the truth herself when she was ready).

I feel Draal and Nomura had the so-much-needed talk after the return from the Darklands in Season 2 (and yes, I wish we had at least a glimpse of that).

As for what could be… Well, there is so much missed opportunity here. Dramura is so blatantly Romeo and Juliet coded (way more than Jlaire. Seriously). Besides, if Stricklake shows that humans can accept changelings, Dramura could possibly work to demonstrate that trolls would accept their estranged kin too. And Draal working hard to change other trolls' horrible opinion of 'impure' (starting with dropping that 'impure' part) would be really powerful, IMHO. It could also give him a role he so desperately needed - surpassing Kanjigar without being his shadow.

I also like the idea of Draal and Nomura having kids eventually, even though they both would claim they could only be horrible parents. They could make it work, besides, having a whelp between a troll and a changeling could easily make some inverse naysayers shut up.

I can totally see Draa getting these for Nomura

3v dramura? thought it’d be funny, if ur fine with it!!

(the meme, no longer accepting)

[elizabethemerald]

B, C, D, and P

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

Krexie and Angor Rot/Dictatious. I hadn’t really thought about either ship, but they are actually pretty good and wholesome. 

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Dramura. In my mind Nomura is gay and I just can’t see any chemistry between her and Draal, especially considering Draal’s frequent comments about “Impures”

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

Stricklake. I see a lot of cute art, they are a cannon pairing, I just can’t. I don’t think Strickler apologized to Barbara and I think they would make better friends and Strickler would make a better mentor for Jim than a father figure. 

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I’d love to see some more monster AUs. Like Claire becomes a Troll, Toby is the Trollhunter or other things like that. 

Fandom meme!

Draal: *Holding Nomura in one hand* I love my tiny wife.

Nomura: Babe, I’m 6′11″

Draal: I love my tiny wife.

[maiolica-admirer]

(Because I'm a shameless Dramura shipper): “I wish you would write a fic where…” Nomura's feelings compromised her with the Janus Order but Draal was willing to hide her on the condition that they never speak of her being a changeling again.

[[OOF THIS SOUNDS ANGSTY AS HELL I LOVE IT]]

[sailoryue]

Yknow

I'd started to write a fic where Jim treats Nomura to see Peer Gynt, which just so happens to be playing in a nearby town when my mind asked"why not make it a double date? Jim and Claire and Draal and Nomura.

And I'm like awwwww

Then I'm
