#Jim sturges jr

[moumouart]

I think that might be uncle jack

[gh99st]

You know what trollhunters is missing? A smarmy little bitch called jack sturges, he's such a great character and I wonder what would've happened if he was added

Or if toa had more book original stuff, becaue draal was supposed to be (BOOK SPOILER) Steve's changeling form,

Would jack still be Jim's uncle? Would Jim live with his dad instead? Milk carton epidemic? Scottish trollhunter claire Fontaine?

Final thoughts on Trollhunters!

(Spoilers for the book)

ARRRGH!!!'s death seems very cathartic to me. Kind of like closure in an odd way, and it makes sense to the story.

Claire being literally the most badass Trollhunter is such a Claire thing. I love her.

Toby. Just Toby.

Jim getting that moment with his dad after the final battle was such a sweet thing. Just Jim in general. Book Jim was like S1 Jim if S1 Jim had S3 Jim's attitude.

Jack Sturges, hello yes I love you. He's like Douxie but physically younger and more bloodthirsty. Just his whole "I'm actually in my 50s but I still look and act 13, I'm very tired" thing. I love that.

Jack and Jim sharing that crazed love of the hunt and being invigorated by battle was one of my favorite things. Jim realizing that he's only good at Trollhunting and absolutely loving it. Has my whole heart.

Blinky, ARRRGH, and Jack being family to eachother???? It made me think that the showrunners took inspiration from that to give us Jim and Blinky's father/son duo and I'm living for it.

BLINKY AND JOANNA M. ARRRGH WERE IN LOVE AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. Yet another thing that was translated into the show and I love it dearly.

It was really nice being able to see which things were clearly taken from the book and put into the show. I loved it with my whole heart.

Jim and Toby were in love in this book.

"My ninja."

"My trollhunter."

If that's not gay-coded then I don't know what is.

Claire with a Scottish accent. Yes I love it. I want more of it.

This book is one of the best I've ever read. I might be biased, but I don't care. It's a good story, and I kind of wish there had been more than one book. I would love a series of just these characters.

Claire and Jim at the end tho. The jlaire was so real.

Also, literally ending the book by all of them murdering Steve upon finding out he's a changeling was so funny to me.

once again struck by the urge to reread the original trollhunters book. i miss my kids

Hi, can I ask you about the storyline for your comic? What created the crossover between the trollhunters book and toa universes, and why does Jim Sturges jr have to flee into Arcadia?

Hi there! Thank you for your question ^^ I don't want to explain too much of what's going on until the main six parts are complete, but I will say this: The story being told in the 'I Remember' mini-series takes place in an alternate timeline that utilizes lots of elements from various Trollhunters media; you got the basic outline from the comics made by Dark Horse to serve as a foundation, the characters and concepts we all know and love from the TV shows, and various choice bits and pieces from the original 2015 novel that may or may not play a bigger role later down the line, just to name a few. xP That was still Jim Lake Jr, but yes, that was also a novel-esque medallion around his neck. What's he doing with it and why was he fleeing? You'll just have to wait and see. ;) Thanks again, and sorry if this is still a little vague. Ask me again when part 6 is out and I promise to explain far more clearly :D

Half-Troll Jim Sturges Jr.

Perhaps he needs to transform to fight Gunmar in his home turf. Perhaps alchemy goes awry. Perhaps he was infected with a Trollish virus. Whatever the case, here’s a conceptual view of a half-troll novel Jim, who’s troll half takes after the late ARRRGH!!!

[thosetrollkids]

For @itsmergb 's birthday back in July- book Jim and Claire with some sparklers! Happy birthday (again) bud! :)

*Pats the Sturges family on the back*

You can fit so much trauma in these bad boys.

[yellowmagicalgirl]

Toby Dershowitz: Who are you?

Toby Domzalski: I'm you, but I have an awesome warhammer.

Book!Blinky: Who are you?

Show!Blinky: I'm you but I can actually see.

Johanna Mmm AAARRRGGHH!!!: Who're you?

Show!AAARRRGGHH!!!: You, but was Gumm-Gumm. And am male.

Claire Fontaine: Who are you?

Claire Nuñez: I'm you, but I'm Latina and use magic. I also got possessed.

Claire Fontaine: But are you a Trollhunter?

Claire Nuñez: Arguably yes.

Jim Sturges Jr: Who are you?

Jim Lake Jr: I'm you, but I have a magic sword and suit of armor. I also gave up my ability to live a normal human life so I could defeat Gunmar.

Jim Sturges Jr: ...are you sure you're not my Uncle Jack instead?

I’m BACK and I’m READING TROLLHUNTERS

Book jim ily book jim

[gh99st]

I firmly believe that if jack were in ROTT he would slap the shit out of Jim for wanting to turn back time

[honeyxmonkey]

HI IS THIS NOT THE CUTEST FUCKING THING??

I swear Book!Toby and Book!Jim are actually in love

[mossharpy]

made a new icon!!

[narnian-neverlander]

So with the second season out, I decided it was about time to binge-read the Trollhunters book. I just finished and HOLY SHIT. It's very different from the show (not in a bad way, both are freaking amazing, much like the HttyD series), but my god, I've seen horror movies that were less terrifying to watch than this was to read. It's del Toro, I guess I shoud've expected it, but if you think the series is a "kid's show" not suited for kids, this thing is on another level. Let's take a look at some things out of the book compared to the show:

[SPOILER WARNING if you haven't read the book yet!]

(I'm sure I missed a few things, so feel free to add)

- Jim doesn't grow up with his mother, but his father, who's a paranoid wreck, desperately trying to protect his son after he watched his older brother being abducted by a troll when he himself was just 8 fucking years old

- Jim's first time in Trollmarket isn't filled with wonder and amazement and shit. OH HELL NO. Try the beginning of Spirited Away instead: A kid running for his life in an unfamiliar place filled with monsters beyond his imagination chasing after him

- The beautiful Trollmarket you know, all pretty with crytals and shit? Forget about it. Instead imagine an entire underground city out of mud, electrical wires, pipes, with sewage rivers and the garbage of the human world

- Trolls, in general, are fucking HORRIFYING. ALL of them. Even ARRRGH!!! and Blinky - especially them, actually, but I'll get to that in a second. Every troll looks like it's straight out of a goddamn horror movie, most of them walk around naked, gambling, alcohol and drug addiction are BIG with them and they're not afraid to... 'modify' themselves (like, I dunno, replace their teeth with sewing needles) and some of them vomit up their entire inner structure to walk around as floating skin pillow cases (it does make using yourself as a bag to kidnap babies much easier though, gotta hand it to them), all the while spraying satanic symbols onto the houses of their victims to fuck with the humans

- Blinky is still a scholar who likes to hear himself talk A LOT. But that's as far as the similarities go: He's a tentacle monster wearing some sort of skirt made out of medals and has 8 eyes, all mounted on different stems, all of them blind

- ARRRGH!!! is still a behemoth, always fighting for what's right. Just not as cute and fluffy. More like, most of the depictions of demons/devils: claws, fur, giant horns, rotten teeth, etc. Also, she was the one who took Gunmar's eye here, taking a boulder to the head in return, impairing her speech. And no, that's not a spelling error: ARRRGH!!! is a GIRL, her full name being Johannah Mmmm ARRRGH!!!

- She still dies, tough. Like, REALLY dies (as a hero on a bloody battlefield) with no chance of coming back

- Speaking of Gunmar's missing eye (The Eye of Malevolence): it's not just a tiny crystal, ready to be put into the amulet. It's a living, breathing thing as big as a basketball. It's used to spy on him by ARRRGH!!! but it really hurts her and works vice versa as well - you know, like fucking Sauron

- The amulet itself doesn't have any powers, besides being able to grant it's wearer the ability to understand the troll language, since humans aren't able to understand it otherwise, unless they learn it (for example, by spending 45 years underground with them, because you were kidnapped to be their champion when you were 13 and didn't have any other choice)

- Keeping that in mind, forget about the badass 'For the Glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!' and don't even think about 'For the Doom of Gunmar, Eclipse is mine to command!'. Instead, get used to this loser actually naming his two swords 'Claireblade' and 'Cat #6'

- All these theories about Jim being a descendant of Merlin and shit? Not that far off: He's part of a long lineage of warriors. There are several of these families, who have been fighting trolls since the beginning of time basically and their warriors are called paladins. Yet, trolls and those humans fighting alongside each other is still rare, it hadn't even happened yet until the first defeat of Gunmar in 1969. Jim is only the second human to fight with the trolls. Also, because of his bloodline, he's naturally skilled at fighting, even enjoys it - that's some Ackerman family shit right there, folks. Did I mention Claire (who's a junk-food loving, punk-y Scotswoman (still invested in theatre though) instead of the cute Spaniard from the show) turns out to be part of such a family as well?

- He still starts crying on his first mission - but that's probably because he had to slash apart a changeling in the middle of transformation (no fancy, flashing lights here, the body is built from the ground up, bones, muscles, flesh and everything, right before your eyes) and the goddamn thing sounded and looked like a HUMAN BABY

- Oh yeah: Steve's a motHERFUCKING CHANGELING

- By the end of it, the entire fucking town knows about trolls and trollhunters

And my personal favorite is this little gem, which, I shit you not, is a literal sentence out of the book:

"You put a troll fetus into my dad's mouth?"

Jim Sturges Jr. and ARRRGH!!! from the Trollhunters novel. Life is hard sometimes, but it’s easier with a friend.
