Hi! Are there any headcannons you have about Jim and Draal?
Oh, I really enjoy the friendship between Jim and Draal. Draal has surely gone far from his initial bully attitude to becoming one of the most loyal allies.
Symbolically, Jim is the one to liberate Draal from his shackles (those shackles being his obsession with the Trollhunter's title). In Trollhunters Draal claimed that he had been training for the position for his entire life (which isn't true according to Wizards). However, if we go with his age according to additional books (which is 1200), then it's still three-quarters of his life (for some comparison, for a forty-year-old human, that would be 30 years). That alone is a lot, but I also headcanon that Draal was obsessed with proving himself way before the amulet creation, and once the amulet appeared it was just his answer to how he could do that.
Why such obsession though? I'll say that troll culture is one to blame. I feel that in it surpassing your parents is a must, and who is Draal's father? Yes, it's Kanjigar, who was most likely well-respected even before becoming the Trollhunter and, according to Blinky, was the best out of all Trollhunters. And, unlike his father, Draal is rude and arrogant, most likely a troublemaker and with a dubious reputation (dating Nomura aside, where did he get Grit-shaka, the Gumm-gumm totem from? I bet that one is illegal at the Trollmarket).
Before Kanjigar became the Trollhunter, Draal viewed the title as his ticket to surpassing his father. After that, it only got worse. Not that Draal didn't think his father was worthy (if anything, he probably thought that Kanjigar deserved it more than any other troll), but it meant that now Draal had to become a better Trollhunter as well.
And now we come to the very beginning of Trollhunters. Jim getting the amulet was a major offense to Draal, more than anyone else being chosen, even if there were some champions Draal believed to be unworthy (like Unkar, for example). The situation with Jim was just the last straw - and Draal snapped.
The death match was the turning point. I'm pretty sure that Draal didn't think he would be in danger and instead planned to use it to publicly humiliate Jim. I can imagine that trolls at the Trollmarket were already joking about Draal not getting the amulet once again (and even if it wasn't that bad - it sounded bad to Draal).
Only when Draal gets close to death, with Jim standing above him with a sword, he realizes that his defeat was partially his own fault, that he heavily underestimated his opponent. That time he was clearly not ready to die or face death bravely (he closed his eyes)
On the other hand, I don't think Jim wanted to kill Draal (and seriously, he grew up in a society where killing is considered bad). It was more about defeating a bully, not that different from facing Steve. Sure thing, when the audience was yelling to kill Draal, Jim realized it was that serious. Yet he still refused to kill.
Ironically, from any troll point of view, it most likely seemed as if Jim refused to give Draal an honorary death in battle, disgracing him even more. From Draal's point of view, his life now belonged to Jim and he was willing to serve him until he paid him back.
Luckily for Draal, Jim had no idea about the troll traditions (though, he wouldn't follow those even if he knew).
I believe that when Draal started to teach Jim he had fully grasped at last that Jim was just a kid and that it wasn't his fault for being chosen as the champion. It was the start of Draal letting go of his mental shackles and becoming a better (and happier!) troll. And Jim got a rough older brother figure.
I believe that at some point Draal acknowledged Jim as a fellow warrior and started to see him as his brother-in-arms too.

So there is a lot of Saying of how Jim changed characters Such as Draal Strickler Angor and Nomura to name a few but not that much of how the character changed him (especially his friends and family ) outside of bein Supportive.
edit - there Amazing headcannos by @albentelisa and by a few more so maybe i would return on Something that people already Said
Also i am not a Writer i'm so not calming it's 100% (well Claire mabye hehe) jk.
Let's Start with the easiest and Probably the most loyal person to Jim and the first Person after Jim that was introduce was his BFF Toby. Toby Represent Jim mortality the fact that he Can be hurt and injured because toby very easily get hurt and injured because he only human and not in the best of shape but besides that he is able to Keep going Which is Why Jim kept going able to do things despite being only human.
(i am well aware that Jim was the one who push to toby to Keep going as well was the first but Jim a lot of the time felt a moment of weakness that he isn't good enough and toby Should him that isn't true it Kinda go visa versa)
another thing about toby is his happiness and he have a Positive out Look of things toby and Jim become friends a short time after his father Left Which is Why Jim able to Keep going as much as he did because toby was always being besides him.
that's Also Why the rott movie was bad because it tainted that idea.
but isn't canon still hunts me a lot of the time.
overall Jim became much more happy and Much less angsty that he Should've been without toby.
moving on to Jim's Crash and Jim's Soulmate the Lovely but dorky Claire.
Claire represent Jim's fear especially the ones who relate to Losing his Loved ones and become evil Plus Lacking in Self belief.
thanks to Claire Jim able or have much easier time overcoming his insecurities his Lack of believing in self to do Something risky Such as the final Push in the bathtub Scene (Part of it obviously is the fact that Claire herself is a bit of a Dork lol).
the thing that Claire gave to Jim was her Love and acceptance that she trust him and he totally deserve the Love and care that Claire give him. as he doesn't need to be fear that he always feel accepted with her.
She is also extremely Smart So she can her only Second to Blinky so she help Jim with things that aren't trollhunting related and Very Powerful So She can Protect Jim when ever he need a hand.
Claire is Jim greatest Love and i think that Jim feel a lot more confidence and accepted because of her.
even tho Jim Claimed that he doesn't care about his father but he def need one and Blinky was the Answer. i believe that Blinky Represent Jim desire for family and being a Leader because both of them becomes Leaders Jim become a Leader at part 1 of Season 1 and Blinky at the end of Season 2 after the Death of Vendel both were hurt by a close family relative Jim by his father leaving him and his mother as a little kid. and Blinky by his brother Joining the Side of gunmmar both able to make their own family Jim found toby as best friend and brother then Blinky became his troll Dad and ARRRGHHH his troll brother. Blinky befriend ARRRGHHH and Adopt Jim as his son.
Blinky made Jim the best trollhunter change him and give Jim a Parent figure that's all the Most wholesome.
Jim need a father figure to guide him in trollhunting world and Also being a father in general. Plus Someone to share his Knowledge with.
so Overall Jim need a guidance of mentor and a father and Blinky answer that call
ARRRGHHH is everyone favorite wingman i do think AREGGGGG represent Jim entering a role that can be very well take your whole childhood away. both were enter the role of a Warrior in a young age i believe that ARRRGHHH form @albentelisa worlds he understand Jim as a role of trollhunter the Most and Probably Jim has much better time dealing with being a trollhunter thank to ARRRGHHH
Also his big heart and Adorable Personality help Jim have much better time entering a Strange world of the trolls well and Blinky and Draal Obviously.
Draal is Jim troll brother one of my favorite relationships in the Series
Draal represent Jim defined by his father both were defined by their fathers until they able to break it Jim but overprotecting his mom and have carry all the responsibilities in the house and Draal by following his Dad's Job of being a trollhunter which is Why is He was a rival to Jim at first
Fun fact - i thought that Draal would be an Antagonist for Jim after he defeated him but i glad that he didn't became one and instead became an ally.
Draal was a role model for Jim because Jim understood honor of a Warrior and Also build confidence in Battle as well. Draal was Protector so much that Jim carried his wish and Kill gunmmar by his name and his death consider to be the best one in the Series.
Draal was able to Change Jim make him better as a Person i feel lIke because of Draal i believe that Jim is even honor then he used to before (he had a lot of honor before that but still) better Adjust to the troll world because he had a troll for a brother.
@pinkytoothlesso11 and @rexnanorum @yavannah @seekerofblades idon't know about the following two these following ones your expert not mine so i feel free to add up if i miss Something.
Barbara is Jim's mom and i think she represent his heart Barbara is Super Compassionate and have a Similar heart to Jim by being a Doctor and helping people both Jim and Barbara were hurt by Jim's father when he let the both of them down.
the Desire to help people so no one will be left out is Something that they both share Jim by being a trolhunter and Barbara being a Doctor.
Jim Learnt form Barbara that he doesn't need to be afraid to share the burden that you carry with your Loved ones. and that lies not matter what the intention behind it can and will damage your relationship with your Loved ones like what happen with them in Season 1.
Thanks to Barbara Jim become more honest Person who will have better time sharing his burden with his Loved ones and put his trust in them.
now to everyone favorite avocado troll nerd dad Mister Strickler. Strickler is one of the few relationships that is more antagonistic cuz Jim and Strickler butt heads a lot in trollhuntes in Season 1.
i feel Like what Strickler represent in Jim is the Desire to be Loved and accepted Sure Jim have toby and Barbara but he bullied and for the first part of trollhunters by the trolls because he was a human and Strickler by being a Changeling both however fortunately get the acceptance and Love Jim by Killing Bular and getting together with Claire and Building a family with Blinky ARRRGHHH and Draal
and While Strickler by getting together with Barbara and creating a family with Jim.
Strickler give further Knowledge about troll history and Changeling history to Jim teach him Combat Moves that Blinky won't teach because they cross his Limit.
Also i feel Like the Credit goes to @pinkytoothlesso11 i feel Like when Jim has a half troll Strickler is one who can understand him the most.
Which is Why at the end thanks to Lovely nerdy Strickler Jim is much easier time handling and Seeking things that others might won't understand.

Til The End Of Eternity || Chapter three: Win Lose or Draal (3/?)
(Douxie Casperan x f!reader)
Summary: Y/n is trying to figure her life out but is going to be hard since her brother is the new trollhunter and she is plagued by dreams and feelings she doesn’t understand.
Chapter Summary: Jim wins a new ally.
Word count: 1046
Warnings: nop
(Season 1 Episode 6)
Song?: Glory And Gore by Lorde
Previous — Next
Masterlist
Trollmarket was beautiful. The underground city was full of colorful lights, even with the market empty the place looked alive. Immediately, Y/n’s eyes found the heartstone. The gigantic cristal and it’s warmth light left her completely speechless, even made her forget, for a moment, the possibility of her brother dying.
“Where’s everyone?” Y/n asked. She was excited to meet Jim’s new friends and the creatures his book depicted.
“Probably waiting for the fight” explained Toby.
“Oh, right” she took her eyes from the heartstone and looked at her brother “Don’t worry if you die I’ll bring you back” she joked.
Jim gave her a half smile. They were both terrible at hiding their fear.
“Master Jim! Welco-ah! Witch” Blinky stopped mid greeting.
“Blinky! This is my sister Y/n!”
“Oh! My apologies, I must've confused her with someone else!”
“You know a lot of humans?” Y/n lifted her eyebrow confused.
“Oh…well” Blinky’s arms fell down to his side but he put them back up fast “Come on, master Jim. A…great warrior always…shows up in time…” he started pushing Jim to the hero’s forge.
At the forge all the trolls were already excited, filled with the rush of battle.
“Hey, I… I want you to have this” Jim gave a letter to Y/n and another to Toby.
“What’s this?” Asked Toby.
“It says everything I want to say”
“You promised me tacos”
“Now is not the time for lunch, Tobes” Jim scoffed.
“Last week, the three of us went for tacos. I paid. You said, ‘Next time on me’ You’re going to get this letter back unopened after the fight, and when you get back, we’ll get tacos”
“He’s right, Jim. You owe him tacos” Y/n smiled.
“Tacos sound good” Jim laughed.
—
“Draal, son of Kanjigar, son of Tarigar, Draal “the destroyer”, come forth.” Vendel, the white troll announced.
A spiky blue rock started rolling down a path, jumping in the air transforming into a big blue troll with six horns.
“That’s Draal?” Y/n whispered to Toby “He’s huge”
“Yeah” he sounded as worried as her.
“And now, Draal’s combatant, James Lake Jr, son of…Bar-bu-rah. Come forth human trollhunter”
The crowd started booig the second they saw Jim.
“Fight from your heart, Master Jim. It’s strong, stronger than any rock” screamed Blinky.
They close the arena and Blinky said quietly to himself “And certainly, stronger than mine”
But Y/n heard him.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” she reassured “He has to”
Y/n could hear Toby, Aaaarrrgghh and Blinky speak but she couldn’t pay attention to anything they were saying, only the troll trying to kill his brother.
“And, I am Jim, son of Barbara and the amulet choose me”
The flying axes send Draal over the edge of the arena.
“Yes! He did it!” Celebrated Toby.
“It’s not over yet” explained Blinky.
“He has to finish the fight” completed Y/n without taking her eyes off her brother. She had studied the book all night alongside Jim. She knew what her brother had to do next, what the crowd was asking him to do next, they were screaming for death.
Jim grabbed his sword and Y/n closed her eyes. She couldn’t look at her brother killing someone.
Suddenly the crowd was booing again. Y/n opened her eyes and saw her brother standing next to Draal.
“Look, I may not have followed your rules, but neither did the amulet when it chose me. Right now, over our heads, changelings are in Arcadia..”
Fear and confusion filled the room.
Blinky and Toby ran to Jim before he could unveal the secret.
“What is he talking about?” Screamed Vendel.
“You’ll need a Trollhunter who doesn’t have to live in the shadows. This is a time to work together. They’re building the Killahead—“
“STOP! Say no more! We must leave this instant!” Blinky grabbed Jim by the arm.
“Killahead” Y/n repeated. The word left a metallic taste in her mouth.
—
“Oh, praise! You’re alive!” Toby hugged Jim like he would disappear
“And sore. Ease up” Jim chuckled
Aaarrrgghh and Blinky were called by Vendel before they could celebrate the trollhunter’s victory.
“He opened the letter” Y/n laughed.
“I can tell”
“I didn’t” Y/n smiled and gave Jim back the envelope “You can tell what you wrote if you want but I can’t read the words you thought would be your last message to me”
Jim took the letter and smiled back at her.
Y/n turned and started walking. The tears were escaping from her eyes and she didn’t want to be seen like that, especially now, when they were celebrating.
—
“Remember just a normal teenager and his older sister and their normal life” Jim said more to himself than to Y/n.
“Hi, mom. We’re back!" said Y/n while she took her jacket off. A shiver ran through her spine.
‘Strickler?’ She thought. The same uneasiness she felt when she met him was running through her spine again.
She walked behind her brother and saw that it wasn’t Strickler with her mother but a woman.
“In here. Jim, guess who brought tea?”
Jim stopped in front of the woman that was accompanying her mother. Y/n recognised fear flashing in her brother’s eyes but his face suddenly shifted back and started kicking Nomura out. Y/n wanted to stop his brother but Barbara passed out before she could do anything.
“Mom?” She ran to her mother.
“That speech was very moving” The woman left the table “Too bad she won’t remember it when she wakes up and find your body”
She grabbed Jim and threw him to the kitchen.
Y/n hug her mother trying to protect her from the fight.
“What’s going on?” She screamed.
“Go upstairs!” Jim told her sister.
“Jim I won’t …”
“Go!” He screamed while grabbing his backpack looking for the amulet.
She went and hid in the bathroom, her brother quickly joined her.
The troll whistled a song letting them know she was close.
“Not creepy at all” whispered Y/n.
“Yes! Thank you!” Jim grabbed the amulet from behind the mirror.
Before the troll could open the bathroom door someone grabbed her. Y/n and Jim shared a look and went out to investigate. In their backyard, Draal was fighting the troll.
“What are you doing here?” Screamed at the woman-troll.
“Delivering you pain again, Nomura” Draal answered, shielding Y/n and Jim “Do not touch the Trollhunter”
“Suddenly you’re honorable? Sorry to hear about daddy. Bular always liked the way he screamed”
The fight started again and quickly finished when Draal threw Nomura through the air.
“You were right”
“So, you’re not here to kill me?” Jim asked with his sword in his hand.
“Not kill. Protect” Draal looked at Y/n. She smiled at him.
Jim thanked the troll.
Draal quickly started to walk around the house looking for a place to stay.
“Since I can’t go back to trollmarker I’ll stay here, guard your home”
“I don’t think my mom would be down for that” said Jim.
Draal went downstairs to the basement. Eating a piece of coal and taking a couple more out of the heater he said “This is nice. Here I shall protect you, your witch and your fleshbag mother, Bar-bu-rah”
“What did you call me?” Y/n started walking up to him half confused and half offended. Why were the trolls calling her a witch?
Jim stopped his sister from fighting his new protector “Mmmh close enough” he laughed.
“Your mother will awaken soon. I protect. I don’t clean”
Y/n rolled her eyes and went upstairs along side Jim.

Hmmm, I've been listening to music again, I have thoughts about Jackie's fluffy trollish family, fair warning, it's long and things may change:
Ancient family curse, they're all fluffy, every generation or so there's always one that looks familiar to the ancient root ancestor, mostly referred to as Shardback
Shardback is called that because heartstone chunks rooted into her back, she only lived about 10,000 years but it was enough to have a few secret whelps which carried the family line from ancient times to modern times
The Shardback and Blackthroat families hated each other, but Penn, Jack's mom, is half Blackthroat, he's essentially merged the family trees and forced mercy between the two lines
Monsoon is Penn's late sister, now he only has his brother Haverwrath, but he's also got other relatives from his mom, Jack's grandma, that have kids his age, so the Shardback family tree is far from dying out, especially now that Blackthroats are involved
Those cursed, like Jack and her Grandma Jax, all look the same when young but as they age they all become different, new main and coat patterns arise around their mid 450s to 500s
On average they tend to live to about 1000 to 2000, of course there's outliers in every generation, Gran Jax is only about 900 herself so her marks have expressed themselves
Generally speaking a family reunion is the cutest thing to witness because they're a bunch of playful idiots big cats, and most are pettable if you ask nicely, and yes almost all of them purr and get happy taps
I have no idea who sired Penn or Jackie yet, only that Penn loves his stupid fluffy baby and genuinely did not expect her to marry into royalty, he's proud of all of his kids either way and is just happy Jackie will be taken care of if he dies young
While Gran Jax is only 900, Penn is about 600 himself, I believe Jackie to be around 400 to 500, just before she gets her marks, and yes Penn had her young
When born, they have a fever coat, a funky layer of miscolored fluff along the top of their pelts, generally it falls out before they turn 100, but it returns when they're sick for prolonged periods
They greet each other by nuzzling heads, they also peep, chirp, and squeak at each other frequently
The fluffiness is a highly dominant gene, in hundreds if not thousands of generations it hasn't faded and every new child born to the line is fluffy, even if they're a changeling, volcanic troll, sea troll, doesn't matter, they're getting fluff whether they like it or not
Things like scales, horns, and spikes aren't common in the family but they're not rare either, however when present they're usually not too large, for instance Kanjigar's horns may be possible but something like Draal's is highly unlikely, if they do have them it's likely these will show up later in life rather than immediately
Gran Jax should've had a black/grey coat with white marks or white fading, Jackie is hoping her real coat is pretty
All of them get heavier in winter and will grow out their coats, family snow beans are also common
Often they have different pawpads depending on what species sired them, however the heart Jackie has is new, it's likely a new mutation
Sal fucking cries seeing her family because he physically cannot withstand that amount of poof in one room, this idiot king will die because he finds them so fucking cute
I love to imagine in the afterlife Shardback terrorizing the Blackthroat ancestor who's absolutely PISSED the old hag's line finally won into their own, it's like a damn soap opera episode and it's hilarious
That's all I have thank you
Comfort combat, they fuckin invented it
They can have crunchy mews, like a funky or old cat, also, scraggly whiskers when they sleep too hard

troll Hunters
AU where instead of Blinky being turned into a Human, Draal is turned into a human instead!
featuring- Draal acting as the big brother, worrying constantly about Jim. And maybe a lecture or two.

Never got tagged in a post so this caught me off guard BUT thank you so much, @splashofspotchka, for tagging me! <3
Honestly, when I first thought about this my brain just smoothed out and I never had a comfort character in my fucking life.
These are in no particular order (plus multi fandom so most of my clone darlings won't show up) and...these are only five of an army.
1. Savage
I love me some big guy (Wrecker :3 and him are just peak characters).
He cares for his brothers, is protective and would love cuddles. He murders people on screen and I still feel safe so there goes sanity.
2. Hardcase
We can share a single braincell and cause chaos together.
Also, movie nights with all the snacks spent mostly talking shit. He's my sweet baby with spicy brain (and I can see myself in him).
3. Rin Okumura
My darling rat boy.
He gives me gender envy.
But i would love to hang out with him and watch him cook and read manga together (he stole them from Yukio).
4. Draal
Big meanie turned protector turned weird family member.
Trollhunters already is my comfort show (not gonna lie fucking love Clone Wars but tbh Tales of Arcadia has my heart as well) and this blue idiot is mine :3
5. Jerome Valeska
...murderers make me feel safe, i question it myself sometimes but who cares? If characters bring me joy and comfort I can look past their atrocities.
Gotham really makes my brain go smooth and I love that shit so much.
Bet I can get him into baking with me.
So...yeah
Wish I could add more (would probably be Entrapta from spop, a bunch of clones and half the Gravity Falls/Owl House cast XD) but this is it^^
@eelfuneral @easily-obsessed-with-things @apocalyp-tech-a @a-aristippus @roadara23 you guys don't have to do this, no pressure but I wanted to tag y'all!
Comfort character tag
I was tagged by @marvel-and-dc-geek for this game and since that post was getting kinda long, I’m starting a new one.
Rules: List five comfort characters then tag five people
Alright, mine are a little all over the place, but whatever.
1. Scott Lang/Ant-Man
2. Simba
3. Sherlock Holmes
4. Niles Crane
5. Tigger
No pressure tags: @marvelstuff-iguess @azaraspirit @smolbendyhorn @oldmanwithashield @edelweiss-and-maple-trees

(These ideas are made from the already preexisting art works for the AU along with some other ideas)
AU For Trollhunter/beast Barbra AU just after divorcing Jim’s dad Barbra starts a new life In Arcadia and recently got a new job as well with good pay but on one stormy night when Jim was staying at Tobias’s grandmas house and Barbra returning from work gets into a car crash with no fatal or serious injuries discovers unknowingly the remains of the Trollhunter  before kanjigar killed by an unknown changeling (Kanjigar is not the Trollhunter in this AU, just let him be Draal’s dad) and she becomes the new Trollhunter and with the amulet new friends and pseudofamily members appear in both her life and Jim’s. And here are the relationship ideas for that AU
Jim after coming to terms with the divorce and helping his mom in any way he can but upon learning the existence of trolls try to help still and thanks to this revelation plans to one day be an ambassador for all of troll kind so one day troll kind can go public and help undo the atrocities that Arthur and his ancestors have done along with stopping the bad guys of course.
Vendel is like a grandfather that Jim never had and Barbra’s teacher of trollish culture and diplomacy along with magical advice and the guy you ask if you want or learn magic and is vary curious of modern human medicine and after a few interesting events six to find a cure for troll kind’s allergy towards sunlight and maybe even a potion that can you turn humans into trolls and vice versa.
Kanjigar is like a strict but wise teacher to Barbra and the only troll in troll market that can fight without the need of magic armor and sees a bright future for both humans and trolls especially with how the Lake family have interacted with troll and sees the human whelp Jim as a pseudo son and to help strengthen and protect even built a tunnel to the lake house to do so after sun down.
Draal is like a big but rough brother to Jim and helps Barbra with some of the troll customs that she might need help with along with fighting the bad guys of corse, whomever they be.
Blinkey is like a dad to Jim and helps him and his mom whenever he can and is actively teachingJim how to speak trollish fluently and troll culture along history to him and his mom and giving some vary interesting knowledge too help them along their quests and journeys.
Aaarrrggee is also like a big and protective papa bear when it comes to Jim or Toby and finds Jim’s dream to unit the worlds of troll and human together one of the best ideas he has ever heard of and is getting some therapeutic time whenever he is around Barbra.
Strickler is Barbra’s current boyfriend after some time settling in Arcadia and is helping Barbra and Jim feel at home in Arcadia while he is secretly rebuilding Killahead bridge but falls for Barbra more and more each time they meet and finds the young atlas and his mother to be family to him and plans to betray Gunmar just to protect them in the end and help free changeling kind from his grasp.
Bular is at first the same blood thirsty monster at first but with more interactions with the human Barbra he discovers he is thinking differently and eventually realizes that the woman is not actively trying to kill him and when they do clash he sees the same look in her eyes each time, not the look of hate or fear but of pity and a mother’s sadness and after their last battle he gets talk of of being a Gumm Gumm and willingly surrenders himself and abandons his Gumm Gumm ways, and thanks to Barbra and the Trollhunter gang convinces troll market to put him in her custody and little by little he becomes Barbra’s new adoptive son and Jim as his adoptive brother over time and becomes a part of the Lake household.
Angor Rot is the same until Barbra hands over his soul ring to Vendel so he can return Angor’s soul and free him from the pale lady’s control and helps the team whenever he can and triumphantly returns as a hero to troll kind.
Morgana is temporally stripped of her powers after the end of her battle with Barbra and gets therapy with help of Barbra and eventually comes to terms with what has happened and strives to do better in life and help and put a stop to the arcane order and defeat her undead brother and along with helping changeling kind and troll kind unit and hopes one day unit troll and human kind.
"and when they do clash he sees the same look in her eyes each time, not the look of hate or fear but of pity and a mother’s sadness"
Oh. I really, really like that. ;_;
Love your ideas! Jim and Toby should definitely still be friends with Blinky, Aaaarrrggghh and Draal, no matter the AU, it's only right. <3
And oh, that is such a good resolution for Angor's story? :O This is definitely the best timeline, haha.

Hi! So here's an interesting ask.
What if Jim was born as a wizard, with Hisirdoux "Douxie" Casperan as his teacher?
Jim's magic woke up at five. Barabra is accepting of Jim's magic, but James Sr is disgusted at his son being a wizard and calls him 'an abominal freak of nature who should be wiped off the earth' which is what led Barabra to divorcing James.
I'll say that Jim's magic power seemingly came out of nowhere in this AU (well, his ancestors possessed magic, but Barbara for example had no idea magic was real). Jim's magic is too strong for someone born in this era. His element is light too, which is rather rare.
After her divorce, Barbara does her best, trying to find a good magic teacher for her son despite having no connections to the magic world. She does so because Jim's magic goes out of control frequently and she's scared he might harm himself. Initially, her attempts are futile as she only finds all kinds of con artists.
Barbara finds out Douxie by accident when she catches a glimpse of his magic and realizes that it's as real as Jim's. Initially, Douxie is reluctant to teach Jim (as he isn't a master wizard), but as he realizes that there is no one to show the kid the proper way to do magic, he accepts the mentor's role.
Jim likes Douxie tremendously, though he thinks of him as his big bro rather than his teacher (and well, Douxie is fine with that - he just fails to be strict or formal).
Toby learns about Jim's secret relatively fast - once Jim starts to believe that Toby will react adequately. After learning about the magic, Toby often joins Jim during his lessons at GDT Arcane Books (though he mostly fools around and annoys Archie).
Jim (and Toby too) tries to join Douxie in his occasional monster hunting, but it's where Douxie is really strict (as they are still kids and he feels responsible). Not that it changes a lot though as those two sneak out and hunt small creatures (like goblins) rather often. During one of those outings, Toby and Jim meet Blinky and Aaarrrgghh and befriend them. Another reckless hunt leads to meeting Kanjigar, who isn't happy about kids risking their lives. Kanjigar also learns that Douxie (who is Merlin's apprentice) is in Arcadia.
Since then Douxie, Jim, and Toby become regular visitors at the Trollmarket. Kanjigar is fine teaming up with Douxie sometimes, but it's a big no for Jim (and especially Toby) to join.
Ironically, that is the reason why Jim and Toby bond with Draal. Those three have a lot of secret missions together, which resulted in several changelings' deaths.
That activity picks up Strickler's attention. He knows that there's a wizard in Arcadia, but has no idea who it is. Still, he decides to awaken Angor Rot and use him as a bodyguard.
Strickler also decides to find and force Angor to train a shadowmancer to counter the unknown wizard's light magic. Angor picks up Claire and Strickler switches Enrique with NotEnrique to force her to cooperate (and have an overseer).
Meanwhile, like in the canon, Kanjigar dies. And in this AU Draal succeeds him as the next champion. Jim is obviously part of his team by that time - those two are basically brothers-in-arms. Draal is also more cooperative as he has learned to work in a team before becoming the Trollhunter.
Unfortunately, Strickler accidentally learns that the mysterious wizard is Jim (they are close in this AU too). He plans to use Claire to convince him to switch sides (as he knows about Jim's crush). Strickler also approaches Barbara to have a backup plan (and ends up falling for her).
Claire is conflicted once she learns that Jim is a wizard, like her. Because of her circumstances, she hates her own magic and sees it more as shackles. Initially, she thinks that Jim is also forced to practice magic, but soon realizes he is free. Since that moment, she starts to hope that Jim might help her to escape and gives him small hints (she cannot tell him openly as Angor is watching her from shadows). Alas, Jim is slow and doesn't catch those right away, but eventually realizes that Strickler is the enemy and Claire is also on the villains' side (initially, he doesn't realize she has no choice).
As for Draal, he discovers that Nomura is also in Arcadia (there is some more bonding between Jim and Draal as both fell in love with an enemy).
Claire manages to have a proper talk with Jim (which Angor deliberately 'ignores') and explains everything. They both have a plan that Claire works as an inside agent and helps the team defeat Bular. However, Strickler catches her and uses her as a hostage to lure Jim (he plans to use him against Draal later).
Jim seemingly cooperates only for the rest of the team to barge in and defeat Bular. Nomura still ends up in the Darklands (she is close to switching sides though) and Strickler escapes with the help of Angor.
Claire is now free and Jim promises her to free her brother. He is slightly concerned that Draal won't agree to open Killahead only to discover that Draal also wants to go there to save Nomura and kill Gunmar, no matter what everyone else is thinking. Draal asks Douxie to upgrade the amulet (he believes that Merlin's apprentice can do it), but Douxie thinks it's impossible for him. Meanwhile, Jim and Blinky discover the information about triumbric stones and the quest for Eclipse begins.
Strickler never leaves Arcadia in this AU. He lies low though as he's scared that both Claire and Jim will look for him to kill him (and even if those two forgave him, Draal wouldn't). Besides, Strickler doesn't believe that the Trollhunter and his team can defeat Gunmar - he thinks that they will only free him, which will result in disaster (for him as well as he failed Gunmar). Strickler decides to prevent them from opening Killahead and later dispose of the team (even though he regrets that Jim is among them). He also uses a binding spell on Barbara to ensure his safety.
Meanwhile, Angor contacts Claire and makes a deal with her. In this AU Claire knows that Angor is a victim of circumstances and can relate, so she isn't against freeing him.
As for her shadow magic, she is reluctant to use it as it's connected to her unpleasant memories, but as both Jim and Douxie (who took over as her magic teacher) encourage her, she is more willing to give it another try.
The Janus Order betrays Strickler (they also send some stalkings after him), and he is on the run. He has no choice but to come to Jim for help. Jim agrees to help him but asks to free his mother and Angor first.
Actually, Strickler half-expects that Jim won't keep his word so he's surprised when the Trollhunter's team actually gets rid of stalkings.
Barbara in this AU is aware of mostly everything minus the fact that Strickler is a changeling and about the binding spell (as Jim decided to keep it from her so that his mother wouldn't be heartbroken). Strickler confesses everything to her himself, seeking her forgiveness. While Barbara doesn't forgive him at once, she is willing to give him a chance to atone.
Despite the plan, Draal decides to go to the Darklands alone as he feels that it will be tough there for everyone else (and previous trollhunters kept reminding him that the Trollhunter should stay alone). Jim manages to tag along at the last second.
They find Enrique, and Draal sends Jim towards the exit. Jim gets Enrique out (like in the canon), but gets captured and ends the next cell to Nomura. Gunmar doesn't kill him for now as he plans to mind-control Draal and force him to kill Jim (and mind-break him entirely).
What Gunmar hasn't expected is that Jim teams up with Nomura and helps Draal escape. The other teammates arrive just in time to help them too.
Still, Gunmar is out of the Darklands like in the canon. Angor Rot goes alone to fight him and ends up mind-controlled. Gunmar also contacts the Janus Order and Usurna, starting to gather his forces. Gunmar contacts Morgana through Angor's mind as those two have a link and also takes over the Trollmarket.
Everyone who escaped is slightly desperate and decides to contact Merlin.
In this AU, Merlin doesn't destroy Jim's life, but he's pretty much willing to sacrifice Draal if that means defeating Gunmar for good (and Draal actually sees no problem with that until Nomura beats some common sense into him).
Jim and Claire decide to try and power up the amulet using their powers (as they both instantly dislike Merlin). It's rather dangerous for them as both are inexperienced and the power up is temporary, so Draal only has some limited time until it stops working.
Still he manages to win (with everyone's assistance).

Day 7 Vespa; Kanjigar and Draal looked for a bunch of scooter parts and decided to put together Jim's Vespa. Bular went with Troll Jim for a while while Draal and Kanjigar started to put the Vespa back together. Kanjigar carefully welded each piece together and Draal assembled the parts that fit together and used welding masks.

Not to be a creeper but I saw your tags on the Jim and Claire post and I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the portrayal of their relationship? I recently finished Wizards and I liked them together in general, but I remember feeling a little frustrated previously because I didn't feel like their romance added much to the plot or story, unlike a relationship like Rayllum.
Not a creeper for having reading comprehension - go ahead!
For Jim and Claire, I always found them passably cute. They weren't a ship I disliked, but I was never really into them, even if I liked the cute/normal moments to the series. I definitely liked them and Claire more once she joined the team and learned about magic, and I still always appreciate that she has her own reasons (her brother) for being so involved in Troll things.
For me, romance in TOA is definitely its weakest spot, as the only pairings I was really genuinely invested in are Steve/Aja and Draal/Nomura, which I always wished would get more focus. I also liked Nana/Vex from 3Below, but mostly because it was funny and sweet.
For me I think the disconnect was Jim and Claire feeling very high school - cute dates, going to prom, the guy liking the girl from afar, etc. They never really felt like endgame, big Dramatic love story the show went for, which is when they would lose me a bit more.
So ultimately I really like them, but they're mostly interesting to me in a "date for a few years, break up when they're 20, get back together and stay together after being Friends when they're like 26" kind of way than my interest in their specific romantic relationship being strong during the show itself.
And I agree with you about the Rayllum thing! One of the reasons I love them so much is because - despite being young and having some of that same awkward flustered nature that Jim/Claire have - Rayla and Callum have a maturity to their relationship. Part of it is how directly they've helped each other through some very emotionally heavy times (and not that Jim and Claire haven't, but not to the same degree / with the same weight) and that they feel like Best Friends first and foremost. Jim and Claire, partially because of Jim liking her from afar in the beginning, never really developed a super strong Just Friendship period by proxy.

Imagine being pregnant in TrollMarket
~ You were one of Jims teachers. Recently pregnant and left alone to raise the baby you moved to Arcadia for a fresh start. However monsters and mayem were not on the pregnancy itinerary and now you've stumbled into a whole world of trouble that doesn't involve your pregnancy problems.
~ Jim swears to you as long as he's Trollhunter no harm will come to you or your baby and he's so sorry that you got caught up in this mess. However your quick to forgive and soon the Trollhunter team becomes your family, the kids becoming your own children in a way.
~ Jim is quick to cook you anything you want. If you have a weird pregnancy craving he'll make whatever you want. Pickled pears? Got it! Something super sweet? Of course. Something really spicy? Sure. Icecream? He'll get the machine and make you some! He loves cooking for you and is glad he can help outside of trollhunting.
~ Toby throughout the entire process becomes your hype man. Becoming pregnant can be hard on your body and how you see yourself. Especially since the hormones make everything seem like a big deal. Sometimes the weight is upsetting or you feel fat and like a slob other times your so tired but feel lazy for taking a nap. He's there to tell you your amazing and beautiful and you should always feel that way because it's true. Self care is key and he's determined to make sure your taken care of the whole pregnancy.
~ Claires an expert in pregnancies because of her baby brother. She helps you make a list of things you should get for the upcoming baby and enjoys maternity shopping with you. You may be a pregnant lady but that doesn't mean you should be forced to live in sweatpants for nine months. She also helps you pick out cute baby clothes and toys for the nursery.
~ Poor Blinky in his excitement mixes up troll customs with human ones and creates weird hybrid things that don't actually exist and defiently don't help the pregnancy.
~ The kids and trolls keep up on absolutely everything. You're very well taken care of the whole pregnancy. Jim makes sure your eating. Toby makes sure you take care of yourself. And Claire helps you with house stuff when you need it. Draal, Blinky, and Aarrrgh also get very involved. They want to hear about your doctor appointments and see all the sonograms and ultrasounds. (Good luck getting their hands off you when the baby begins kicking)
~ You never got a baby shower so the troll team surprises you. Claire organizes the party, Jim handles the cake and food, meanwhile Toby invites all your friends and decorates. You get gifts from trolls, people, and even changelings. Strickler didn't come but he sent an expensive gift and a nice card.
~ You don't think much of it as it's a busy fun day full of gifts, laughter, games, and love. When the parties over they have one last surprise for you. Taking you upstairs the kids are excited to show you a recently decorated nursey!
~ Blinky had painted the walls of the room to look like an enchanted forest. There was elegant trees with birds and critters and flowers full of bees and butterflies. Soft green carpet laid on the floor and you nearly cried as you looked around. Draal had built you a beautiful crib of wood with little pieces of heart stone hanging off of it. And Aarrrgh smiled as he'd put in some shelves and arranged toys. Stepping further into the room taking it in, the crib was full of fluffy pillows and soft blankets. All of them were fantasy themed with pixies or tales of fae. Hand made dolls of the trolls were in a toy bin and plushies of goblins and other creatures were placed around the room. There was a gorgoues rocking chair in the corner and next to it a shelf full of young troll books and childrens toys. There was also a wooden changing station with soft pillows for your baby that held all the supplies you needed to clean and change them. You cry telling them this is the best gift ever.
~ Bular found you by accident. About half way through your second term Goblins were chasing the trollhunting team and out of options they hid at your house since you were the closest. The U.V lights you installed made the goblins flee and you thought that was the end of that until a changeling tried to break into your home a couple days later.
~ The team decides Trollmarket was the safest place for you. Staying in Trollmarket until the baby comes and you can safely move everyone is excited. Trolls may not love humans but the fact that your carrying a life inside of you is seen as a glorious thing. Trollmarket would never turn a pregnant person away even if they are a human. You get an influx of gifts from trolls around the market and they all make a point to smile and wave whenever they see you, something they didn't do before.
~ If your feet ever become sore, don't worry about it. In human standards you may be big but in troll ones your small. Blinky, Aarrrgh, Draal they'll carry you if they see you struggling. It's also a troll instinct to want to feed anything that's tiny so be prepared for trolls constantly offering you strange things to eat because they think you should be bigger for the baby. Gifts are a common occurrence as you live with Blinky. Weapons. Troll toys. Books. You also receive a lot of interesting letters.
~ Blinky tells the babies stories every night before you got to bed. He reads human fairy tales but also tells troll lore excited. Aarrrgh snuggles next to you and wherever the baby kicks he laughs. You always go to bed warm and happy as your baby rests soundly in your stomach.
~ Draal gets very protective of you when you locate to Trollmarket. He was protective before but after the attack he's now a guard dog, constantly by your side unless the team really needs him. When the baby starts kicking he's nervous to touch your belly at first. He'd seen the others do it and he wanted to as well. Taking his hand you gently put it your stomach and his eyes widen as he feels a strong kick against it.
"They're a warrior!" He states excited and you chuckle. With who they'd be raised with you had no doubt they'd be a warrior.
~ Aarrrgh is very cuddly the entire pregnancy. He wants the baby to be warm and safe so he often curls up around you when you take naps. He's often nuzzling your baby bump and asking questions. Human pregnancies and troll ones are very different and sometimes he gets confused but he does his best.
~ Blinky reads way to many books that Claire brings over about babies. Now he thinks he's an expert on all things baby related. The entire pregnancy he gives ludicrous advice thinking it'll help the pregnancy and the baby. It's sweet but he becomes a bit overbearing and the kids sometimes have to intervene.
~ Vendel gets annoyed when the others have to leave and he's stuck with you. But as you waddle around the Heartstone complaining about sore feet and back pains he pauses. He leads you somewhere to sit down. He gives you a chunk of heartstone to hold and wraps you in blankets so your warm. Wandering away he comes back with tea for the both of you and starts a pleasant chat.
~ You've wandered into a dangerous world and your worried about your baby, about the kids. They shouldn't be alone... They shouldn't be taking care of you, your the adult! Vendel notices the sad way you say alone and care. He sees your lip tremble and it hits him your scared. He softly asks you if your afraid to be alone, if your afraid you won't get the care you need. Your hands instinctively touch the baby bump and your thoughts wander to the father who'd walked out on you. You nod feeling tears in your eyes and he gently puts his head to yours humming something soft and soothing.
"You are not alone here and you will be cared for here."
You begin sobbing relieved as he rubs your back. No you suppose you had nothing to worry about.
~ Vendel knows a lot about human pregnancies thanks to asking you and doing some light research. Blinky likes to challenge the old man about it and they often bicker about what's good and not good for you and the baby. It can be quit entertaining if not alarming.
~ Vendel gives you potions for morning sickness so you no longer puke when you wake up and he gives you tea to sooth your aching muscles. He gifts you a heartstone necklace so that peace may always be with you as you carry the baby.
~ Your in Blinkies library one day. The kids are out patrolling and your enjoying a nice night when suddenly your soaked. At first you assume you peed yourself and are a tad emabrassed but you know Blinky will understand. Calling him in for some assistance he pauses seeing you and that's when the contractions start. You didn't pee, your water just broke.
~ Going to a hospital may take too long and getting out of the canal was too dangerous at this point. You're very carefully picked up by Aarrrgh before your rushed to the heartstone. Someone had ran ahead so Vendel was getting ready as you were brought in.
~ There are soft blankets to lay on and your put on a Heartstone slab which eases the pain of labor. Trolls excitedly wait outside of the heartstone for the baby to come. Hours pass and although your sweaty and exhausted you can't help but smile as your baby is placed in your arms.
~ The kids run in along with Draal and they stare at you holding your newborn. You're covered in blankets and sweaty but you couldn't be happier as you stare at your baby. They're swaddled in a soft furry blanket holding a chunk of heartstone with wide eyes. They look around and you smile.
"Hi... Hi... I'm your mama..." You mumble holding them close. "This is your family..."
~ Vendel takes the baby to check on them and you sleep after the draining expeirnce when you wake you smile holding your child close. Vendel was the official grandpa and you'd named Aarrrgh and Blinky the godfathers of the child. You said the kids could be sisters and brothers if they wanted and you told Draal he was an uncle. They were all very excited.
~ You give your baby a human name and a Trollish one. One you'd use in the human one and one you'd use in TrollMarket. Holding them close and looking at your family you smile. You wouldn't have it any other way.

SPOILERS FOR TROLL HUNTERS RISE OF THE TITANS
Okay, let's talk the Troll Hunters movie.
Specifically that horrible ending.
The whole point of Jim going back in time was to save those who were lost. That's it. Sure, it didn't hurt when he started doing the things that went wrong that day correctly, or when he gave Walter and Barbara a head start on their relationship. But then he gave the amulet to Toby!!?!
Let's go over why that makes no sense whatsoever:
First off, there's no explanation as to why Jim thought giving the amulet to Toby would save lives. All that changes is who the Troll-hunter is.
Doesn't it seem a bit selfish? Or even ooc? Jim didn't just give Toby the amulet. He gave him all of the future problems that go on with it. Things like getting stuck in the Darklands, watching Draal die, defeating Gunmar etc. etc. Of course, this is assuming everything that happened to Jim will happen to Toby, but you get the point. Anyways, Jim would never want his friend to go through that pain in at his expense. Never. It seems like he was content with giving himself the perfect life while handing Toby a life long problem.
We've been told over and over that the amulet doesn't make mistakes and that Jim was chosen for a reason. We got the wonderful "Don't think, Become" speech because Blinky was lecturing this. But suddenly it chooses whoever waltzes up to it first? If Jim was meant to be the Troll-hunter, wouldn't he be in every possible timeline?
Those five mintues undo the entirety of the episode "Unbecoming" (S2Ep11). That episode showed Jim why he was the Troll-hunter, and why only he could take on the mantel. It was a big eye opener for Jim, and he realized he couldnt escape being the Troll-hunter because he always will be. Its his destiny, one that was cheaply given to Toby.
Let's not forget that this decision also completely destorys his relationship with Blinky. Jim and Blinky were so close because Blinky was his trainer. But now he's just Toby's friend and this will no doubt affect their relationship.
Lastly, let me just say that giving the amulet to Toby just made the ending very vague. Sure, Jim was supposed to save everyone, but we don't know if he really did it by making him the Troll-hunter. We don't know if they were able to defeat the Arcane Order again, and most of all we don't know if any of our other favorite characters ended up finding each other again.
Ive been looking forward to this movie since it was announced last year. I was so excited to see the shows all come together for an epic finale, and for a while that's what it was. I got to see more Douxie and Claire magic, Eli finally coming back, Aja reuniting with Steve and her brother, Jim seeing his mom and getting a new amulet, and a finale saying of the Become speech with all my favorite characters.
But all of that is, sorry if this is dramatic, tainted by those dammed last five minutes.
This is yet another disappointing cartoon ending I will be adding to my list.
