[eurazba]

A comic for my Akiridion Aide au where a zombie apocalypse breaks out on Earth, and the Akiridions scramble to save as many uninfected humans as they can.

If I was hiking through the mountains for the past year and had no access to working modern amenities like bathrooms I too would be grateful at the offer of a hot shower.

(Aja & Krel are common akiridions and Jim, Toby, Claire, Steve, Darci, and Mary were in college during the outbreak)

[eosofspades]

i admit i only really notice this because it's just one of my favorite niche tropes but i think it's fun how strickler multiple times refers to trolls he dislikes as dogs. "not a very good guard dog, is he?" abt draal, directly "you are a dog, and this [the ring] is your leash" to angor rot, etc

[the-gateway-to-madness]

why i did not enjoy rise of the titans, personally

In writing, there's this idea that in order for a story to be meaningful, sacrifice needs to carry weight with it. This can be because of the lead-up making it hit harder. This can be because of the irreversability. But losses of any kind should be treated with dignity, with consideration, with pause where it can be afforded- and if not, pause should be taken later.

Tales of Arcadia traditionally does this either Really Well or just Well.

In Trollhunters:

-Draal sacrifices himself as a culmination of his arc of becoming Jim's friend, equal, protector, and confidante. It's incredibly well planned out. You can feel Gunmar's control looming over Draal's head when they're in Merlin's tomb, can feel the uncertainty of the moment, and Draal's death is simultaneously heart-wrenching and, for him, a release- a parallel to his father's death, accepting his fate and plunging in almost the exact same way.

-Vendel's death is shortly preceded by his clear acceptance of Jim as the Trollhunter and his determination to fight for him. It's a moment that makes it immensely obvious how much Vendel has been changed by Jim's genuinely good nature. And in death, he warns them and stands up for them one last time, making the moment even more bittersweet, as tinged as it is by the horror of Usurna.

-Angor Rot has the classic death-redemption, but he's not treated as weak. It's a genuine, earned, heroic moment. And the bitter sting of Morgana not going down with him turns the audience on her even more.

In 3Below:

-Krel connecting with Buster in Season 2 only for Buster to be ruthlessly felled by Morando adds a depth of hatred for him immensely effectively. It's a Kill the Dog moment done horribly, painfully right.

-The second loss of the parents cements Aja and Krel's sacrifice. The parents surviving would be a death for the sake of family, for the sake of Aja and Krel being able to cling to their childhoods another moment, even as they lay down their lives for everyone else. The parents dying is the more intelligent move monarchy-wise- preserving the heirs, and story-wise it forces both Aja and Krel to face the reality that they were never kids, but royals. That is the sacrifice they make- not dying, but living the way their planet needs them to.

In Wizards:

-They had us connecting to Douxie so hard in the span of like 9 episodes that all of us cried over Merlin for a second just because of how it affected Douxie. This is probably the best written death in the series, just because of the fact that the mourning is the most indirect and just as effective.

-Morgana sacrificing herself to stop the Green Knight after realizing she's irreparably damaged her own cause just. yeah

But in Rise of the Titans, the deaths feel rushed. Obligatory. Instead of cutting your soul they're just sucker-punching you. They're trying to force the stakes up, but they do so very poorly.

And worst of all, the ending takes away the significance of every sacrifice in the entire series. The writers threw in so many unnecessary stakes-raiser deaths that they couldn't fix their own timeline and had to go and try to ruin the weight of the trilogy.

And that's just not okay. That's mocking the emotional investment the audience put into the trilogy.

So anyway. What movie? There's not a Tales of Arcadia movie. It doesn't exist thanks.

[gentleeclipsey]

One thing I think would be super interesting: Trolls being more diverse and mystic. Like they last literally centuries, I think Draal himself is a little over 1,200? Why wouldn't they become masters of craft? Why wouldn't they look weird as hell, no, why shouldn't they look weird as hell?

A four armed, four legged, five eyed beastly troll woman who lacks brawn but chatters in two voices and speaks mystic tongues that hoards enchanted items, you can take whatever your soul needs from her gathering, but it may kill you if you reject your fate.

A troll completely covered head to toe in leather armor who makes all the armor and clothing for those around them, the only visible part of their thin but agile and swift body is their stunning jeweled black eyes.

An almost dog-like troll that has a nose for trollish gardens, which contain the most poisonous things(to humans), and mosses, and mixes up the best brews from said poisonous things, they're famed for the sweetest nightshade ale and the beautiful oleander they grow.

A dragon-like blacksmith who lacks a wing and born without eyes in the right spots who remembers ancient lost practices from times long past and from civilizations that vanished.

A bat-like troll who walks as a wyvern that trades used items from across many centuries, basically the world's oldest antique shop with beautifully preserve items that humans don't take an eye to but trolls would.

A human-sized troll who, once a warrior, now curates the rarest crystals on earth, some not even known to man, who grows various forms of fungi on themselves purely because their home is damp and many times the caves they dredge are infested.

I would really adore to see people's eldrich and creepy as hell creations for weird ass trolls, if I'm not mistaken Blinky states trolls from far and wide come to the Heartstone market, it's likely such strangers would make it in eventually, artisans, musicians, builders, at this point their hands may as well be magic.

[sonicasura]

Potential Highlights of Jim's Alien Forms Part 2:

1. Jim, as Heatblast going into Gatto's Keep no problem. Though coming out was a bit more troublesome😖

2. While training or in a sparing match with Draal, Jim turns into Wildmutt, the Troll thinks he has the advantage because he has no eyes. But is shocked at how easy the dog like alien could dodge his attack.

3. Wildvine moving easily through the trees of the Quagawump village and fighting off Angor Rot.

4. Jim uses XLR8 to get through his cores early and dinner prepped.

5. Draal and Jim as Cannonbolt having a Sonic the Hedgehog styled race.

6. In the PyroBligst game, Jim accidentally turns into Upchuck. One of the Krubera players laugh at his tiny pudgy form before screaming as the little alien manages to swallow his entire fist.

7. Ghostfreak possessing different Gum-Gum soldiers to infiltrate Gunmars forces or fight against him.

8. Jim as Snare-Oh helping Barbara bandage an injure Troll or one of his friends.

Toby would joke saying "Look a mummy helping his mummy"

This earns him a light slap from Jim's wrappings.

☝️☝️☝️

Heatblast definitely came in handy when navigating through Gatto's Keep or any lava ridden area. It also helps the Jim can render his fiery form harmless to his companions. Toby thought of the 'flaming surfboard' trick that allows Heatblast to fly.

It's a very common lesson to never underestimate Jim when it comes to his alien forms. Wildmutt threw Draal on his stony ass before Blinky kindly mentioned Wildmutt's insane sense of smell. Every Krubera, minus AAARRRGGHH, is intimidated by Upchuck. It's even funnier when they see our sweet mossy boy just chill with the Gourmand on his back like nothing was wrong. Ghostfreak makes Gunmar's trust issues even worse cause he doesn't know if or when his forces been compromised.

Jim actually unlocked Wildvine the same time he got Mudslide! Sometimes certain environments unlock new forms too. The Omnitrix is a strange thing at times.

Jim definitely used XLR8 for a good chunk of mundane things but he also uses different forms too like Grey Matter to fix appliances. It helps with his dexterity so he isn't like a bull in a china shop when he has to move indoors whilst transformed.

I won't be surprised if the two have a makeshift race track whether in Trollmarket or somewhere else. Cannonbolt definitely gave Draal inspiration for some new moves when in 'ball form' than just being a fun opponent to race with. Although the Dodgeball pun might've lead to a new game getting played in Trollmarket.

Snare-Oh and Barbara just make Vendel's job as a healer easier. The bandages are quite strong plus adhere to herbs or healing tonics better than normal ones. Barbara is a great assistant especially when it comes to patients that try to avoid treatment. *Looks at Kanijar* Toby made a LOT of mummy puns whenever Snare-Oh is on the scene.

[crystal-grotto]

Hey Draal! Sturm wants to ask you something!!

The shouting is enough to snag attentions from the warrior - and then context even moreso. Lilting head to the side slightly like a curious dog, red-gold focuses on the stranger. 'The tinkertroll is in the market tonight?' He questions. Seems there was possibly of a little bit of snitching going on with the enthusiasm the other possessed.

'Point me his way and I'll speak with him, see what he wants.'

- A dude who's a fan of hard rock, and has a warhammer.

- A very sassy blue child who needs 10 years of therapy.

- The troll history teacher that tried to kill the sassy blue child 10x over. He's also dating the sassy blue child's mother. Troll dad #2 of sassy blue child.

- Troll dad #1 of sassy blue child, he likes reading and burning books.

- A Troll covered in moss, he's the wingman and a former pacifist.

- Former evil sorcerer lady with a similar aesthetic to a Marvel Norse God, but actually had a point.

- Adoptive dad of punk wizard boy. Who says he doesn't care that much. But he cares A LOT.

It's time for some Empires Propaganda...

Come watch Empires SMP Season 2! We have the following:

A little scrunkly goblin man who lives in caves and likes pickles and scams

A catwoman that actively commits crimes against humanity A totally normal human. Yep absolutely a human

A Princess in a pretty pink tutu that will fight entire monster armies (it's secret though hush)

The Sheriff who's definitely not a toy

The witch that got expelled from the academy for destroying reality as we know it

The Dungeon Master who keeps his dubious amounts of smooth stone inside a tomb

A 5ft 11ft god complex personified whose obsessions include dirty jokes, gold, and the word 'Lore'

A reality traveler who decides that trusting nobody and stealing clothes off of corpses is the best chance at survival

The self-appointed princess who decides to trust the little blue lights leading her into the dark cave is a smart idea to get a kingdom banner.

The hardwood seller, whose adoptive father is part rabbit and whose idea of father-son bonding is animal slaughter

Heterochromia but through nefarious skull means. And he's not straight

Pirate who asks nicely first before stealing any of your belongings

The one-night stand of a child who consistently has to deal with both of his 'daddy's' excessively worse-by-day dirty jokes

The defining traits of humanity are NOT sex, romance, and empathy.

The defining traits of humanity are our creativity, adaptability, and our boundless amounts of hubris.

As well as arson.

jim and his psychiatric service dog, draal jr (man i wish this was canon but i can dream)

[megan0013]

For the fantasy pet:

Pittbull Draal for 6 years old Jim (I saw them being mentioned so I couldn't help😍) pleease

Draal had been a little, well, rough around the edges when they first brought him home from the shelter last year. He had an unnatural appetite for socks and destroyed the dining room table Barbara’s grandmother had given her, he’d enjoyed scratching his growing spikes on doorframes and his goosing game was (unfortunately) on point – but none of that really mattered because he absolutely adored Jim.

Still does.

Which is why he’s quick to investigate the unfamiliar human and his massive charcoal-colored pup the instant they enter the dog park.

By ramming his nose straight into the man’s butt.

“Oh!”

Jim tugs the dog back by the collar and smiles just as the tall, lanky man with greying hair and bright emerald eyes whirls around in surprise. “Sorry about that,” he says. “It’s how he says hello to other dogs. I’m Jim, by the way. And this is Draal. What’s your doggie’s name?”

“Uh,” he blinks, clearly taken aback by the boy’s enthusiasm, “Bular?”

“Cool.” Jim reaches out to pat Bular’s head and earns himself a coveted tail wag in response. “You have a very nice dog.”

That, however, earns an incredulous snort.

“What?” Jim asks. “You don’t think your dog is nice?”

“No, uh. That’s not… He can be nice. I suppose.” The man frowns and looks up suddenly, gaze scanning the park for some sort of parental figure to help extricate him from the conversation. “Are you here with someone? Your mother or father? A nanny?”

“My mom’s on the bench over there,” Jim says, pointing to the far corner of the enclosure where a woman with bright red hair is watching them through narrowed eyes. Uh, oh. She doesn’t look happy. “What’s your name?”

“Walter. Why?”

“It’s okay, Mom! He told me his name, so he’s not a stranger anymore,” Jim hollers. “Me and Draal are gonna play with his puppy, Bular. Is that okay?”

The woman cocks her head and shouts back, “Did he say it’s okay to play with his dog?”

“Uh.” Jim turns back to Walter with wide, pleading blue eyes. “Is it okay if me and Draal play with Bular?”

No one could resist such a genuine request, least of Walter – who smiles, shrugs, reminds Bular to be a good boy, and then heads over to introduce himself to his new friend’s mother.

[troublesometrollhunters]

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.

I'm curious about Honey I shrunk the Trollhunter

A good choice.

It starts out in “Gnome Your Enemy” except Jim doesn’t turn back to normal the next day… or the day after that. Eventually they come to the realization that Jim may in fact be stuck. Now Jim must deal with not only Trollhunter problems but also with being the size of an action figure. Blinky gets yelled at a lot is this AU.

I don’t plan to do a full cannon rewrite. Just scenes I find amusing.

The challenge match is still on but ends up being rather… weird to watch because the trolls in the audience can’t see Jim. Draal tries to roll over him but Jim manages to lodge himself in Draal’s spikes. So everyone is treated to the strange spectacle of Draal running around crashing into things and clawing at himself as he tries to dislodge his tiny opponent. Daylight may only be about 4 inches but it still hurts.

Jim does end up telling Barbara about everything and she’s understandably freaked out. She arranges for him to attend school virtually and gets him a dog they train to assist him. Vendal gives him a stone for the amulet that can make the armor cover the dog too. (I like the idea of him having a Tebetan Mastiff or maybe a border collie.)

Toby learns to fight earlier. Strickler would really like to know what’s going on. Vendal would like a drink.

It’s a fun AU.

📃🎥 with trollhunters? :3

what is the plot of your hyperfixation? so at its most basic: jim lake jr is an unremarkable teenage boy who dreams of adventure, and one day comes across a magical artifact that gifts him cool magic armor and enstates him as the "trollhunter", an ancient line of heroes protecting human and trollkind from monsters and mayhem of all sorts. He's the first human trollhunter ever to be chosen, and is mentored by disgraced scholar Blinky and former-evil-soldier-turned-pacifist Arrrgh, alongside his best friend Toby and love interest Claire. he has to try to yknow, save the world, deal with highschool, solve mysteries, convince the stubborn troll society that he's even capable of being the trollhunter in the first place, fight monsters, and keep it all a secret. there's obviously a lot more to it than that, lots of enemies and allies and twists and stuff, but thats like the elevator pitch. do you have any favourite scenes? OH MAN SO SO MANY. i posted a few clips the other day and one of my favourites is the scene where blinky arrrgh and draal are playing dnd, which is just. so endearing. I also really really REALLY like the scene at the end of the grit-shaka episode where he confronts bular, and the opening fight sequence in episode one between bular and kanjigar, and the scenes in s1p2 where arrgh and vendel talk about the whole "arrgh is dying" situation it hits my right in the heart every time. i really like the scene at the end of episode six with the nomura and draal fights, and i LOVE all of nomuras scenes with jim in season 2 shes so endearing. uhm uhm uhm i could keep going forever if nobody stops me uhm. i like the bridge scene in unbecoming i like the scene where jim and arrrgh wrestle in jimhunters i like the opening of a house divided where jim is just fully dissociating i liked the exorcism of claire nunez like the entire episodei just really enjoyed i like when claire thinks jim is dead and she starts quoting romeo and juliet at him i like all the times claire says something really fucked up in her monotone peppy girl voice i really liked the scene with angor at the end of its about time i really liked the opening scene to where is my mind with stricklers vision i liked all the scenes that take place in the void and SPECIFICALLY i like the scene where jim comes out of the void and draal is giving him puppy dog eyes like "did you see my dad :pleading: did he say anything nice about me" like oh dude youre fucked up for real uhm i like when jim and draal fight in the reckless club i like that one scene where jim is imagining punching strickler in the face in front of everybody i like that shot at the season 2 finale of steve and eli with the umbrellas i think the twilight looks really gorgeous there and the organge-yellow colours are so beautiful i really liked the line "ive spent so long in the dark i'd forgotten there were stars" i like in adventures in trollsitting when blinky and arrgh are like parent bickering about how to teach the kids best i like when claire gets to come down to trollmarket for the first time i like basically every scene that usurna is in especially when she is fucked up. i like when angor rot attacks strickler that felt vindicating but i also liked seeing angor defend arrrgh and draal i thought the parallel was a little hamfisted but it was sweet to see angor get treated with some actual grace i like him i like when claire steals the shadowstaff and it cuts to angor alone in the middle of the desert with the thunderstorm overhead i like when jim uses the sword as a lightning rod to kill the stalkling i like that really fucked up scene in episode six where he writes goodbye letters to all his friends i like when claire and notenrique sibling bond i like when vendel asks blinky for something and blinky goes "yeah and i wanted reading glasses but nobody made those for me sooooo" like yeah king so true i like that arrgh gets to beat the shit out of both bular and gunmar it felt cathartic every single time i like when blinky gets to play good cop/bad cop with claire and they just start

throwing bombs at people it makes me laugh i like when he's getting ready to go fight in the eternal knight and that beautiful piano refrain is playing in front of the eclipse nd i like when jim and nomura are making fun of strickler together in the darklands i like that scene where draal blows his cover by saying bless you to claire i thought that was funny i like when blinky plays piano for no reason i like uhm uhm. basically i dont know if you can tell but i really like this show and i think it has a lot of good scenes.
