unorthodox ways to keep track of your kids, troll dad edition

Noooooooo
I call this one: “Uh Oh”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

First Claire carrying Jim, now it’s time for Jim carrying Claire.
Trying my hand at my own version of a post-Wizards, Excalibur-wielding Jim! (With a brand new magical armor forged by a certain master wizard + the help of one Lake-dwelling goddess 😜🤟🏻💙) Because you know.... James Lake.... Lady of the Lake.... eheh.. 🤪 I can dream, right?
What would be the last part??? What would he command??
I’m just shooting from the hip but what about
“For the blessing of Nimue, Justice is mine to command”
Cause Jim is all about doing the right thing and answering every call (of injustice, no matter how big or small)
And since the other Armor is based off Daylight and Eclipse. Maybe this one would be based off the ✨ Stars ✨
Hey by the way I just wanted to make it clear, in case I came across otherwise in my previous posts–
I do not dislike human Jim. In fact, I quite like him. He was always my favorite character in Trollhunters even before his transformation. I have no qualms with human!Jim whatsoever.
I just like troll!Jim more. I personally find his halftroll form to be more interesting in terms of character development, story potential, and design. More enjoyable to watch. More fun to draw and speculate and headcanon about. Overall just more intriguing and appealing.
Troll!Jim has been my #1 fav from literally the moment he showed up and I’ve spent quite a long time now growing stupid attached to this specific form of this specific character. And uhhh frankly I feel like I’ve been one of his few “defenders” from the moment I joined the fandom (which from what I’ve gathered was apparently at the tail end of an anti-Merlin fandom war in which troll!Jim got tangled up), which just kinda…made me double down on my attachment. So….that’s why I’m so disappointed to see him changed back.
.
anyways. For now I think most (not necessarily all but most) of my future ToA art and stuff is gonna take place in an AU where pretty much everything is the same except that Jim came back in his halftroll form instead of his human form. Obviously this will be reconsidered when the movie comes out and we see what happens there. But for now…yeah. I’m just gonna draw what I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If that’s not your cup of tea that’s cool. But…yeah.
All that said, I’ll try not to make any more major salt posts on this topic. I think at this point I’ve more or less already said all I have to say. I respect y’all’s preferences, even if I disagree with them, and hope you can do the same in return. best wishes
Same
Human Jim, casually walking around home, picks up a wooden ornament and tries to take a bite before remembering he’s human again.
Human Jim finishing dinner then trying to take a bite out of his napkin.
Human Jim hanging with his friends at the movie theater and when he finishes the popcorn he tries to eat the bag.
Human Jim naturally sticking to the shadows and hesitates before stepping into sunlight.
Awwww
forgot to post this here :/
Uhhhh yeah
Still hate you Merlin
watched this episode today and couldn’t help imagining Jim watching it and gettin’ lowkey triggered cuz Aang’s struggle hit a wee bit too close to home (coughDarklandscough)
Insert flashbacks to him talking to drawings of his friends and drinking egg soup alone
Jlaire with 15?
15. Who wakes up first?
Jim, most days. As a half-troll, he needs less sleep than Claire does.
My mind kept rollin’ around after making that post about how different people can like/dislike characters for different reasons and decided to share why my favorite Trollhunters character is just that. Especially because there’s a number of people out there who really don’t like him, and you know what, hey, valid. You don’t have to like the same characters I do. This post is not meant to convert anyone to my “side” or anything. Just to explain why I, personally, find the character appealing.
This is, of course, 100% subjective, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE troll!Jim’s design y’all. Blue skin, which is my favorite color–actually appears blue-gray in some shots, which reminds me of my fav cat breed tbh, the “British Blue” which are actually a kinda rich gray. The floofy hair. The cute little teefers. The way he moves like a big ol’ kitty.
Sure there are some things I could nitpick, for example I think the mismatched hands are kind of an odd choice, but nonetheless I just really enjoy watching him. Seeing him on screen makes me smile.
Just look at this precious bean. I wanna scoop him up and give him a big ol’ snuggle!!
He’s very fun to draw too!! I very much enjoy doodling his design.
I already loved Jim’s character as a human; now he has all those moments and development and character PLUS an extra-adorable design (imo at least–I mean, his human design is cute too, I just happen to prefer his troll design :) ). For me that’s a win-win lol.
I love speculative/fantasy biology; I’ve always found it fascinating to analyze and theorize about and headcanon for. Those who have known me long enough to recall my days in the Inuyasha fandom probably know this; I used to make huge analyses on the speculative genetics of the half-youkai protagonist and make in-depth headcanons on how his biology worked (hmmm, another half-human you say? Strange, it’s almost like I find that a particularly interesting concept to theorize about! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Same thing for troll Jim. We know very little about what being a half-troll entails, whether or not Jim is the only one to have ever existed, etc., which leaves a lot of stuff up to interpretation and I love that! It’s so much fun to think about and speculate on how his new form operates, how it’s different from both full trolls and full humans but also in what ways it’s akin to each, what strengths and weaknesses come with the hybrid status, etc.!
It’s the exact kind of thing that really piques my interest and gets me thinking and theorizing! :)
Alright, so this isn’t something I really make a habit of talking about online because it’s quite personal, but I’ve always struggled a great deal with change. I am a creature of habit and like to stay in my comfort zone with most things. Any big change in my life causes a lot of stress and irrational anxiety, and I know it is irrational, and I try to overcome but for me it is. so. hard.
Starting middle school was terrifying. Starting high school was terrifying. Starting college was terrifying. Graduating college and moving into the “real world” was terrifying. And right now, as much as I love the idea of having a loving partner, the idea of dating and starting a real, serious relationship and getting married is terrifying. It’s such a major change in life and you can never quite go back to the way you were before. You don’t retreat back into your comfort zone, that next stage is your New Life. And that’s terrifying.
Yes, I know, to a lot of you much of that probably sounds silly, and like I said, I don’t really like to discuss it much online (or anywhere really, unless you’re my mom or my therapist). But it is something I struggle with quite often as a young 20-something with anxiety.
All that said, Jim’s transformation has forced him into a situation that I absolutely, 100% understand would be absolutely terrifying. And there’s no going back. The change is permanent. He can’t retreat back to the comfort zone of being fully human. His life is forever altered, for better or for worse.
And if I feel so deeply for how scary that is, why the heck do I love this character so much?
Because he’s heckin’ inspirational for me, gosh dangit.
If this character that I enjoy so much can go through such a major life-shattering event, something after which nothing will ever be quite the same, and yet still be able to adapt–still be able to find happiness–still have all the unconditional love and support from friends and family–maybe I can too.
Troll!Jim is a comfort character for me. He represents someone who went through one of my worst psychological fears and, eventually, come out the other side with a smile. He’s someone that I can project my own struggles onto and then watch him overcome them.
That’s part of the reason I so much detest the idea that he’ll never be happy again unless his transformation is reversed. How soul-crushing that idea is to someone like me.
So……yeah. There you go. That’s why troll!Jim is my favorite character. You still don’t have to like him; that’s fine. We’re all entitled to our own opinions and interpretations after all.
But this character is very special to me, and that, at least, is not going to change.
Animated horn study…tryna see if I can get a grasp on how these darn things move through space ^^”
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Comic commission for @tunafishprincess. She wanted this scene from her AU fic “Blue Moon Rising”, which for anyone who isn’t familiar with it (it seems to be a pretty well-known fic) is basically a rewrite of the entire show except with Jim (rechristened “Atlas” by the Janus Order) being half-changeling the whole time.
