hey guys i have a question
Tumblr media
(ID: a gif of a very small grey and white cat. it is shaking. there is a speech bubble above it to make it seem like the cat is saying the above text. end ID)
so my desktop tumblr theme, while epic, has lots of blinkies now and thats a lot of. fast moving color changing lights so i want to add a flash warning some how. BUT im really bad at like. html or whatever i just click buttons and google stuff and try to cobble it together (often poorly). so my ideas were either to have a popup before the page loads that says "hey theres flashing lights in the blinkies on here do u still want to go," or a thing that has all the gifs paused and an unpause button like . in the top right or something. now that i think abt it the second would be better bc it'd allow ppl to see the website w/o the blinkies moving, and playing them would be one button. but either would work i just feel bad not having any kind of eyestrain or flash warning lol. also for the record i dont know what javascript is and i barely understand what css is and i dont know how either of them are different from html. if any of u have any advice that would be epic

ok so I was making a fake scenario in my head and accidentally made up a Crossover where TMNT, Tales of Arcadia gang and Transformers accidentally meet while trying to fight or idk but I’m just thinking they meet in some alley way after trying to hide away from the public
Like, they just fought off sum evil ppl and people come to the spot where they fought off and they run to hide somewhere and they just see eachother and they’re gonna be just like "OH HEY! THIS IS A COSPLAY! YEAH WE WERE JUST DOING OUR NORMAL HUMAN THING" expect the transformers who just say "it’s a illusion it’s in yo head" smt like that and yeah
Also It’s transformers armada, the teenage mutant turtles movie just right after they defeated krang and got Leo w/ them and where trollmarket haven’t got taken over n Vendel is still alive just like probabavvabably it’s a few episodes in the series and yeah
I bet that both Donnie and red alert would talk about technology while Donnie ask questions abt it and show off his inventions to him and both of the gangs. I mean both of them. I mean Donnie would yk show his mystic power and show his mystic guns?? In the movie or something simple like probably "hey I’ll show u a purple gun rq here 🔫" and red alert would tell him to stOp before he accidentally shoots and leave the base with a hole
Then we have Leo with Hotshot/Sideswipe or Jetfire and the wingman’s (if u don’t know it’s Toby n Arrrrgh ehe) They all would probably talk and show off how superior r they. Probably Leonardo would show his mystic power and make a portal while Toby just show how daMn light or heavy is the mf hammer but at some point Jim comes in with the sword of daylight and accidentally attracts Leo and Jetfire w/ the bro bots wouldddd probably show off their blasting or aiming skills and Hotshot would ask Jolt to get his aft here so they can superlink together and show off the cannons
Blinky would ask Optimus abt transformers history and sometimes cut him off to say abt of troll history or Vendel would also talk to scavenger abt the transformers war or smt plus Draal with Blurr they would probably exchange tactics or smt more of battling?? But it’s only probably serious things
Ah yes then we the humans with their size robots and another human with a teleporting dogcAt? and a Wizard with a chef boy with a magical sword. They all would probably talk abt their friends first before themselves but I bet Jim would talk how a mf oldass Wizard made a amulet and choose people to give trauma until they die and sometimes Claire would cut in to say abt Morgana and how she stole her damn wand thing
The tf humans talks how they found the transformers and still blames themselves how they accidentally start a war again and stills feel guilt abt it, they hug their robot friends or hold their hands while talking abt them and they hold their hand back
April would be last bc she is busy on the phone until they say "what about u??" and basically talks how dum r the turtles before she talked how they found Mayhem and hidden city and how Donnie fucked them up into jail bc of science and moogic and says how a evil mutant lives on top of her apartment and made the evil mutant work as a lunch lady and basically works a lot but always gets fired yk
The turtles basically says that they were made by the evil mutant that April mentioned but they’re dad is a rat but he was human and was a actor and knows how to beat mutant asses
Basically that’s what I have and it’s a first time I made this so bye🏃🏼‍♀️

Y’all so sorry to keep bothering you but we still need artists for the #What If ToA Rott project to draw Zoe, Blinky and Aaarrrgghh.
Of the existing team of artists, many have already taken on multiple characters! We’re kinda at our limit and I would hate to make these three heroes of Arcadia faceless blobs in an otherwise decent-quality scene. They each make medium-length appearances (a good artist who is confident enough could take all three), with Blinky’s being the most important.
Don’t worry, we will make do somehow. This will also be the last call of the kind. Still, I’m going to tag known artists again under the cut as I’m inviting you to join us cuz I believe your contribution would lift a real load off our shoulders, AND you’d have the chance to be part of something really awesome that is already in the making!! :) Yes you can only take one character. No you are not obligated to do anything. Feel free to decline if it doesn’t fit your time schedule or your current fandom experience. I know that it’s Drawtober and so everyone is busy, but you could still join beyond that. If interested, message @tenebrius-excellium or @nikibogwater. Thanks for spreading, boosting, tagging more ppl you know and for all your support, guys! 
@undeadchestnut @nattikay girl I know you’re a Na’vi lady now but I’d love to have you!!! @thosetrollkids @theeio @reedraws @badsongpetey @sweetkever @az-daniels-yeeter @bernie-the-nugget @jmeestella @stuck-in-arcadia

Introducing Talia al Ghul, and Bruce’s Love Life

@goosesister thanks for inspiring this!!!

Alfred: I'm sorry sir, who did you spend the night with?
Bruce: …. TaliaAlGhul
Alfred: and why, pray tell, did you?
Bruce: she seemed nice
Alfred: mhm mhm, and this has nothing to do with you wanting to anger Ra’s al Ghul for insulting your parenting skills?
Bruce: like he’s one to talk… that’s just a bonus
Alfred: well, you are ever the picture of perfect judgement. I am positive this will never come back to bite you.
Bruce: :( be nice to me please
~~~~~~~~~
Talia, 8 years later: hello my beloved, how is that creature you adopted? 
Bruce:  which one?
Talia: … What
Bruce:  Dick says I have a problem with orphans
Talia:
Talia:
Talia: well, this one isn’t an orphan *gestures to an eight year old Damian*
Bruce:
Bruce: … Dick’s going to be so disappointed in me :(
~Bonus~
Dick, 9 years old: is she gonna be my stepmom?
Bruce: no- what- why- she’sjustafriendDick
Dick: that’s not what Alfred says~
Bruce: look, she’s leaving, we won’t work out. it’s fine
Dick: so I’m not getting a baby brother? also why is your face so red?

I have decided that this is actually Battinson and that if he had raised Dick, Dick would definitely have more of a sibling relationship with him.

Tim: isn’t Dick back in Blüdhaven?
Jason: yup

Jason: yup

Jason: of course
~Bonus~
Dick: Bruce. you. can’t. just. leave. them. alone. they’re little!
Batman: but I left you by yourself
Dick: I regularly fell off chandeliers! I shouldn’t have been left alone!
Batman: I thought you were happy….

If Jason Todd Was Introduced This Way, This is How I am Bringing in Tim
This is now a full AU, whoops
First <<; Prev Next >>
Tim: *bangs on Dick's door in Blüdhaven*
Dick: I swear to fuck if it's another solicitor I'm- *opens door*
Tim: 
Dick:
Tim: hello
Dick: wha- it’s like 10 o’clock where are your parents? you're like eight, why are you out here??
Tim: first off I’m 12 and I'm not a child. can I come in?
Dick: sure, this might as well happen
~later~
Dick: so you're here because you figured out our identities when you were nine, have been following us since before then, and then hacked the Batcomputer only to find Jason looking up ways to get to Ethiopia?
Tim: yeah, pretty much.
Dick:
Dick: fu-frick
Tim: I have been running around Gotham alone at night since I was eight, you can say fuck
Dick: *gasps*
~Bonus, at the Batcave~
*Bruce and Jason are working on the Batmobile, Bruce’s way of apologizing for being an ass*
Bruce: *head snaps up*
Jason: everything good old man?
Bruce: I need to get adoption papers ready

How Jason Todd Should Have Been Introduced to the BatFam
First Next>>
Batman, frantically putting in numbers and calling someone.
Batman: pickuppickuppickup
Dick Grayson, who just got got in bed after a long patrol, groaning.
Dick: Hello? Bruce, what's going on?
Bruce: Dick I need you to come home right now
Dick: what's going on, is everything okay?
Bruce: yes, I just need you to come home
Dick: .... B I can't just come home I have work at the gym tomorrow and-
Jason, in the background: Holy fuck is that a dinosaur?!
Dick: was that a fucking child???
Bruce: ...
Dick: ...
Bruce: ...
Dick: ....
Bruce: yes
Dick, rushing out of bed, knowing good and well Alfred is on vacation and there is no way B can be alone with a new child: what happened?
Bruce: hestolethetiresofftheBatmobile
Dick: ... That doesn't mean you can kidnap him!!
Bruce: I couldn't leave him. He was hungry. We got burgers.
Dick: oh my god, okay, I'm on my way, have you called Alfred?
Bruce: ...no
Dick, rushing down the stairs to his car: Bruce I swear to God you have to tell Alfred
Bruce: what if he's mad at me
Dick: holy child abduction Batman, you have to tell Alfred before he gets back. I'm not dealing with that.
Bruce: ...okay
Dick: okay, I'll be there in an hour, don't let the kid die before I get there. How's he doing?
Bruce: .... I don't see him anymore
Dick: you don't- Bruce!

🔶 updates and wips and such, woah!
what's up, lots of new faces around here -- that's fucken groovy. welcome ⭐🤟👽 have some game updates and wips:
Flashback Trip Machine: Outside of the main story, more snapshots of Seo's site, Under Construction, were added to the Flashback Trip Machine. Check it out.
Tumblr media
And more...
File #000009: It's in progress! Have a teaser:
Tumblr media
It's a screenshot from someone's site! Who could it belong to? It says...
~* rand0m *~ this is kitty. copy n paste kitty 2 ur site 2 help her take over space!! /\ /\ (=o.o=) (,,,)(,,,) 🖱️ shes chasin teh mouse XD go kitty!
Canyon: You'll see more of Midi's site update in the upcoming file as well. Seems the friends have been playing darts, but none of them are very good...
Tumblr media
Music: I heard the rest of Blinkie's site music in my dream, but I forgot it when I woke up. Better luck next snooze.
Motion: If you've got your device or browser set to prefer reduced motion, you'll now see a heads-up message about the occasional css and gif animations. More comin' soon for this...
Text Only Mode: Something I started to make it easier for me to find and reference things, but might be helpful to other ppl too. From the play page: "Maybe you could do without the occasional gif or CSS animation. Or maybe you wish to experience No Follow in the form of a script-style story wrongly laughed off your favorite fan fiction website in the '00s. Whichever the reason, text only mode is just that; but it's still cooking, so come back some other time!" Also a great option if you like ****** (the "narrator") as she will be the character describing what's happening in lieu of the visuals.
thats all for now ⭐🤟👽 thank u

i hate all this discussion on what is and isnt ok 2 repost cuz it confuses me. liek old web stuff is ok i think? cuz everyone does it? but im not sure. n what about stuff liek blinkies n stamps n dividers n stuff i kinda dont get y u would post them if u dont want them used but i feel like probably yr not supposed 2 so i mostly dont unless op says to do it on the post just 2 b safe. i understand y art is a no but not repostjng memes (NOT the kind u draw like an image w impact font on it type memes) confuses me like isnt that the point of them? when u hear a good joke irl dont u retell it ever? but ppl get so angry abt it n call it stealing so clearly im missing something. and yeah just 2 reiterate i 100% do get y anything u spend time making like art or gifs or anything shouldnt b reposted that IS stealing if u dont credit and even if u do like u hav 2 ask 1st. i just dont get when it becomes old web stuff (5 years? 10? when the creatpr abandons their acct?) and idk i think u should still credit ppl on yr reposts of old web stuff. esp art n things. i see some ppl do it but a lot dont so idk whats socially acceptable

I am rewatching all of TOA over again...
Mostly it’s because I have chronic FOMO and I want to know if there are any inconsistencies with the new season of Wizards and also because I’m still kind of unsure whether or not that the timeline was always 100% changed by the events of Wizards or not. This may be long...
Trollhunters: 
Stuart’s electronics was first mentioned in the first episode. WHAT.
“Human feet have never sullied the ground of Trollmarket,” uh according to Wizards that is false and you know it Blinky
I forgot that Toby almost drowned a Gnome 
Steve wants to see early homoerectus titties
Oh yeah Jim threw a horseshoe directly at Steve’s head. One shot, one kill. 
Still surprised we’ve never seen Jim's Dad because of how much emphasis they put on him
Jim got stuck by LIGHTNING?  that’s pretty CrISpY 
GOD PLEASE THIS ANGST IS KILLING ME. JIM TALK TO YOUR MOM.
I love season 1 asshole Strickler
Drawl really brought his fists, and only his fists, to a sword fight
Half of Bulars lines are really just “Daddy....” 
I hate all of Claire’s hair clips 
So, because the remains of the trollhunter are built and put back together in the forge does that mean they’ll piece full-troll Jim back together? What happened to all the spirits when the amulet was destroyed, both times?
Deya needs to stand up for Jim while he’s in the void smh 
Steve says “Plebs” as an insult. Also he refers to himself as a King a lot... foreshadowing... 
I just realised is strickler raising himself? Like the real human Strickler???
Strickler murders so many more people than i remembered
oh man i forgot how much i miss the pacing of trollhunters
Oh yeah I ALSO forgot that Luke Skywalker bows down to Savage Opress
“Goodbye DICK-taicous!” 
bros! draal is a bro!
half of the things that happen i really don’t remember how they get out of and so much stuff happens in the first season
Remember when we had 26 episode seasons? ah..m me too...
the whole thing about Jim's attachment to his friends is handled so much better than like... the jedi did.
“I might even love-” STFU STRICKLER
I’ll never be comfortable with Toby falling in love with a furry
I love Claire as a character but man I hate her design sometimes
“Be gone servant.” wow this is morganna’s one and only line to Douxie when she’s in Claire's’ body and lol it’s like nothings changed 
what turned morganna so feral? like girl I know you came from Camelot but you don’t have to eat meat with only your face 
Still kinda surprised that morganna didn’t try to recruit Douxie harder in Wizards (Or have a line in trollhunters like “Where’s our third, Merlin?” or “Your trollhunter and your apprentice...”)
Morganna made the changelings? Could Douxie or Claire also make them?
THOSE ARE DOUXIE’S HANDS WHEN MERLIN MAKES THE AMULET 
Tumblr media
I ALSO FORGOT THERE WAS A TIMELINE ROOM IN MERLIN'S TOMB (must’ve gotten it from the time-map) 
Forgot that Nana took a shovel to Dect. Scott’s head “Help me move the body” of course Varvatos fell for her
I love this photo of Barbara getting her PhD and little Jim!
Tumblr media
“Walter, will I ever get my son back?” 
“A son. A magnificent son.”
What the hell was Douxie doing while Morgana and Merl were being stupid thots 
3 Below:
Cofefe?????? J HI OW DiD I FORGET THAT MEME
Zoe spotted she’s the clerk at the record store too.
Tumblr media
Also the third episode takes place during the robberies of season 3. In this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment where Toby is driving the cop car
Tumblr media
STAJA STAJA STAJA
Man I love Diego Luna in this, he puts his whole heart in his performance 
Alpha’s theme is great!
they call ppl younglings...
the commitment to the bit where there is a “caw” sound everytime they say the word birdie is great
Eli man voice Pepperjack
“Varvatos.. I made a mistake.” the use of first person pronouns!
“That’s my girlfriend!” 
I love that the serrators also turn Trolls to stone, kinda like it’s all the same technology..,  GUILLERMO
I also love how Aja immediately knows it’s Jim when he’s in his troll form
SLOW_MO_KISS_IS_BEST.PNG
“To protect the King sometimes you need to lose a pawn.”
why did Eli and Steve change during the eternal night? (they’re back to their normal outfits) 
“You stole my bounty on epsilon-five!” “That bounty was my wife!” 
Varvatos does the hulk slam thing
“It was prophesied that Galen’s core would return to the panet from whence it came.” (Meaning earth) So the question is, was galens core/ galen himself made from troll magic or wizards alchemy?
Okay so sometime after wizards during kanjigaaarrrgghh’s rein as trollhunter they were visited by the King and Queen of Akiridion-5.
Omen mom is great! 
“Galen’s core is yours house Tarron, as it always has been.” Hmmm methinks that this will come back in someway for the rise of the titans movie 
Why Morando look so smooth all the time????
I am again crying at this final battle scene 
Wizards 
wow I forgot that all of this happens RIGHT before Wizards starts

headcanons for the ghost gang + sue
bc i’ve been thinking abt them a lot lately
part two (death edition)
in general
- the only ones out of the five who still go by their real names in the netherworld are clyde and sue. pinky, inky, and blinky are nicknames. their real names (in order) are patricia rosemond, ingram lloydsfield, and benson rosemond.
- pinky and blinky are siblings (blinky is around two years older than pinky), and so are clyde, inky and sue (clyde being the eldest and sue being the youngest)
- none of them would live to see their 30th birthday (pinky, 24; inky, 22; blinky, 26; clyde, 27; sue, 21).
pinky
- pinky had a pretty messy love life. she had a Thing for “bad boys” and by that i mean she had a near-uncanny ability to find the worst possible ppl to date. and this didn’t stop once she ended up in the netherworld either—her Thing with the creepie brothers lasted for a good six months (though not at the same time; three months for one brother and three months for the other).
- pinky was a lounge singer. it wasn’t much, just singing covers of old/popular songs in hotels and 4-star restaurants (and she was more well-known for her messy love life than she ever was for her singing capabilities), but everyone in the music industry starts somewhere, right?
- during the war, the freedom fighters enlisted her to be a spy and messenger for them. jury’s still out on whether or not this played a role in her eventual demise.
inky
- inky was a Local Hooligan in his neighborhood, being well known for shit such as vandalism, street fights, and the occasional petty thievery.
- inky & pinky dated for a year or two prior to inky’s death, and he was by far the least toxic person she ever dated. it wasn’t anything serious, just a casual on-and-off thing more for fun than anything else. they tried again once they both found each in the netherworld, but it’d been too long and too much had happened.
blinky
- blinky had blue hair (i once saw someone draw a living blinky with blue hair and it’s always stuck with me ever since)
- blinky had been really into boxing in high school. in the years preceding his death, he began to take it seriously again and had become a lightweight champion in his local district.
- despite his temper, blinky could be quite charismatic and a very good negotiator...even if he had to occasionally resort to thinly-veiled (and sometimes not-so-thinly-veiled) threats to reach a compromise. he was even pinky’s manager before she quit her career.
clyde
- the lloydsfield parents were absent for the most part so it was up to clyde for the most part to take care of himself, inky, and sue.
- clyde was exceptionally good at math and could’ve easily qualified for a scholarship for the pacworld equivalent of an ivy league, but wanted to stay behind and make sure his younger siblings didn’t get themselves into too much trouble.
- he’s probably the most emotionally intelligent out of the gang.
sue (idc if sue’s not canon in the show)
- (cw. decapitation) sue had a music career in their teens, although they were involved in the pacopolis metal scene as a drummer. it didn’t last very long, though. it’s kind of a long story, but one of their band-mates ended up decapitating a fellow band member over $500 and that was the end of the band.
- sue was an activist, wanting to be a part of the rebellion when it started, but being too young to join. later, they were involved in protests against the war after it became clear that betrayus had ulterior motives and had no real interest in helping the people. shortly after their 18th birthday, sue joined the freedom fighters, and was posthumously awarded a medal of honor after the war.
- in the netherworld, sue almost never goes out into the open, paranoid that betrayus might single them out and do pong knows what to them for not only having been a freedom fighter, but also for having had an intrinsic part in his capture.

Trollhunters Season 2
y’all i gotta talk to somebody about this
-Dictatious.
-Dictatious, Dictatious, Dictatious....
- Gunmar fast AF
    - also really old?? Like tired-old-man old. Dicktits seems to be quietly running the place.
   - Gunmar’s actually really pretty in design. All the chips and cracks he has glow neon blue and it’s sparkly
- The only thing sadder than Barbara worrying about her missing son is Barbara not knowing that Jim is gone
- Dictatious motherfucking Galadrigal
Tumblr media
Look at that smug bastard. This is the face I make like 60% of the time. Look at him, he’s having so much fun being evil.
- Kanjigar possessed  AAARRRGGHH. Just like, possessed him. It’s creepy seeing AAARRRGGHH standing fully upright with ramrod-straight posture. Also highlights how huge he actually is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
   - finally he actually hugged his goddamn son
    - Kanjigar is SHADY AS FUCK. Like, was all that vague warning really necessary? I didn’t like the guy before and I like him even less now. He’s a fantastic character, but he’s a horrible father, a terrible mentor, and in real life I’d probably try to Rule # 3 him at least once.
- Jimbo and Nomura making fun of Strickler is the best thing ever
   - Nomura’s character arc deepening and she’s actually pretty cool
- Blinky’s heartbreak at Dickbutt’s betrayal is wrenching to watch. This is when I realized exactly how beautiful the animation is this season. The facial expressions, the minute movements, the body language, was glorious.
- BLINKY IS HARDCORE AS FUCK and anybody who says otherwise can fight me
Tumblr media
- Dictatious looks like a middle-aged man having his first Goth Experience but DAMN is he a smart mofo
Tumblr media
- “How do we get down?!” *AAARRRGGHH straight up jumps off the cliff* *Blinky considers it and...* “Nope.”
- Gunmar’s like “Would you rather die??” and A! and A!’s just like been there, done that, bought the t-shirt
- y’all are mean to the giant carnivorous troll snakes, they’re just trying to do their best
- Toby you had one job
- DRAAL YOU HAVE ONE JOB!
- So Dromura is official
- Jim hugging Barbara for the first time and I realize that this kid is only 16, he is literally a child
- YALL KILLED THE CAT. WHAT THE FUCK DOES DEL TORO HAVE AGAINST THE POOR GODDAMN CATS
-  Jim why are you using a bucket there’s literally a fire extinguisher in the library
   - On that note I’m glad Blinky is able to drop Dictatious like a hot potato. He’s beaten bloody by his brother, whom he idolized, who he mourned for, and he knows that Dictatious is going to kill him. He burns his library, the most precious thing he has, in order to burn Dictatious’s memory, and he does so with no regret or indecision.
Tumblr media
- Jim finally getting flak for being an angsty teenager and running off to the Darklands alone and abandoning everybody, good.
- your ppl ain’t been helpless, Jimjam, they’re kicking ass without you
- AAARRRGGHH literally pulling a Hulk vs Loki with a goblin
- Why is everybody afraid of fukin goblins? They literally do nothing harmful. I’ve seen more destruction from feral goddamn cats.
- I literally yelled ‘oh shit’, “Oh Shit’, ‘OH SHIT!’ when we saw Ducktales, Gunmar, and the Gumm-Gumms outside of the portal
- all y’all are useless, this is 2017 bitches, technology is baffling
- Not-Enrique. I’m glad he wasn’t pushed to the side now that they have real-Enrique back.
- Chompsky’s relationship with the action figure just became official and everyone is uncomfortable.
- anime-eyes!Jim is the scariest thing ever
- Gunmar got some serious biceps. Like even my asexy ass is like woah bro
Tumblr media
y’all think he got followers because he makes evil, badass plans? No. It’s dat bod.
- Sir Isaac Gluten and his brother, Dwight D Eisenflour. All of you are horrible parents.
- “Who could be so careless to lose an arm!” Draal being like IT WASN’T ME!
- the closest thing Jim had to a dad was Walter Motherfucking Strickler? I’m sorry, have you seen this troll who Strickler himself said was Jim’s father-figure:
Tumblr media
- nothing taking any shit from you, Trollhunters. You’re not exchanging Snape-ler for Blinky just because he’s the fandom’s wet-dream. 
- trolls play d&d
- Coach is Steve’s stepdad like WUT
- Elijah Leslie Pepperjack. I know Leslie is unisex but traditionally it’s feminine in the US. It’s actually suggested that Eli is a trans boy. Eli’s such a dork that having an embarrassing middle name wouldn’t hurt him much unless he wants it a secret for a far more personal reason. “Grow a pair”, Steve said. Literally.
- I ship it.
- Gunmar tore Draal’s fucking arm off! - DRAAL NOOO!
- Draal goes commando and does not got da booty
- Jim crying in every episode, like, truly, real men wield swords and have a healthy cry at least thrice at week.
- In the ‘Jim aint the trollhunter’ episode Blinky is like ‘Begone, human, or I will have my former Gumm-Gumm friend who still has trauma from his flesh-eating days eat you!’ and seriously Blinky that was really insensitive
- Vendel is Blinky’s only brother?? Not AAARRRGGHH, the troll he spends every minute of every day with? The season didn’t actually have a lot of Troll Dads ship material but I’m counting that.
- Umbrella scene was really sweet
- Claire being a Boss Ass Bitch like a proper fucking lady
   - and she’s not alone
   - my favorite song of the show was in that scene!
   - DARK CLAIRe
Tumblr media
   - oh boy, the fandom’s boy-toy is back. Everyone give a warm welcome-back to Angry Rock.
- DarkChangeling!Jim was terrifying and I Fully Support Him
Tumblr media
   - deeply disappointed that we didn’t see what the heck that was or how Jim beat it
- This season was so much more brutal than the first, and better-written as well, though I loved the first.

SPEAK OF THE ICARLY TROLLHUNTERS AU
ah yes, this stupid au i thought up while passing notes with my friend in math class. nice.
okay so in this au, jim is living with his uncle blinky (in the actual show carly’s dad is a colonel, but in this AU barbara is a military doctor for plot purposes). he and his friend toby caused shit with mr. strickler and he makes them do auditions for the annual arcadia oaks high talent show but they need someone to help them record them
and that’s where claire comes in (toby suggests her bc she’s good with technical stuff and also he knows jim has a massive crush on her lol) to help them record it and like. half the ppl are boring as SHIT while the other half actually has some pretty cool talents and those are the ones they recommend to strickler and he’s like. u had one (1) job and u fucked it all up. 
so out of complete and utter spite they decide to fuck over strickler even more and make a video of all these ppl with cool talents doing their talents live and bc this is 2018 they have a YouTube channel where they livestream shit and everyone loves them. and that’s how iJim is born (it was two seconds from being iJimothy, much to jim’s disdain).
this is just the basics of how they all get together and if u (or anyone else) wants something more specific, i’m still open for questions

          ❛     headcanon.   a lot of ppl think that jim’s dad was a changeling or merlin and i like to expand on that by saying that both of toby’s parents were changelings. also whatever happened to them was followed quickly by jim’s dad disappearing so like . . . they’re probs connected. but anyways, when they’re like 18/19 they catch a wind of second puberty where some more trollish characteristics come into play so here’s a bunch of halfling troll stuff
their teeth get pointier and they have very tiny tusks. toby’s are more prominent than jim’s and tbh they aren’t really that noticeable. most ppl just think they have a tooth condition. 
their vocal cords change, not altering their regular voices, but instead allowing them to growl.
the muscles of their face broaden slightly in order for them to show off more teeth when trying to be threatening. 
jim: i made everyone hamburgers today! claire: jim this is just a plate of raw meat.  toby: *has already had two helpings*
yeah a bit more carnivorous in nature.
their skin becomes rougher and gets dry and flaky when they spend too much time in the sun
tiny horns 
the horns are behind their ears and can be covered pretty well with their hair, they just have to constantly keep it long. 
toby’s are a bit harder to hide because his circle back like a ram
jim’s are just tiny itty bitty points that lay flat against his head
“mine are bigger” “oh my god shUT UP!” 
not really a physical characteristic but they pick up more troll social characteristics 
headbutting becomes a very often used form of affection between them 
but also one time jim did it to claire by accident and gave her a massive bruise. oops? 
any muscles they have become much more dense
trolls are made of rock but tobes and jim stay human looking but their genetics are all WACK 
their organs grow, trying to reach full troll size, but since jim and toby (especially jim) are still human sized the expanding organs condense to fit their forms
toby’s troll puberty isn’t so bad because both of his parents were changelings so he has more troll in him, allowing his body to adjust better. he’s also larger so he doesn’t have as many problems 
the expanding and dense organs cause many a hospital hi jinks.
“Dr. Lake your son appears to be in great health but we want to re-weigh him because these numbers can’t be correct. according to them he’s overweight.” 
i wanna go back to headbutting because it’s basically a form of kissing to trolls
since draal had no idea what a kiss was i guess kissing just isn’t a thing for trolls but headbutting is 
jim and toby do it a lot, sometimes hard which is more of a friendship thing but sometimes softly which is more romantic 
they do it after training one day and blinky is scandalized “Master jim please take you exorbitant amount of public affection else where!” 
also back to the horns, since the boys are so young in troll terms they are very sensitive, petting them is like getting a back rub 
they have extended life spans
night vision
their eyes develop bright orange circles around their natural color
to wrap it up they can pass for full human with out much trouble but they do have to hide their horns and wear a lot of sunscreen and colored contacts. toby’s dentist shaves down their teeth but they have to go every few months because they grow right back. their weight increases from their bodies becoming more dense and they do the troll version of making out in front of jim’s father figure, in the most sacred place in all of troll market
one more thing: please pray for barbra lake and nana domzalski.

the delightful @possumpossumpossum asked me th’other day about my time at camp, and i just started writing to her, and in the end i’d written a fuckin’ novel, and i know some other folks have been curious, so... here’s this thing.
content mentions: csa, drug abuse, suicide, a whole lot of love
the camp is called camp grounded and there are eight rules: no digital technology of any kind; no telling time equipment or using time; no talking about work, including what it is that you do; no age talk, age doesn't matter; no drugs or alcohol, cigarettes are ok but only in like one little zone; no glow sticks or blinky lights; explicit consent is needed for any kind of physical contact; leave your name behind, use a new name of your choice until the closing ceremony. there were like 350ish ppl there, at this camp in the middle of fuckin nowhere in the redwoods.
it's been a really really huge part of my mom's life, and she billed it like it was going to be this whole big transformative thing for literally anyone, and i thought it sounded a little goofy, my attitude basically was like-- it'll be dope to not have to answer phone calls and see some trees for a couple days. right away tho like right away, it's just... well, once ppl start showing up, you get together with your village. everyone is in a particular village of 20-30 ppl, a little subgroup, if it's a tent village everyone pitches their tents in the same zone, cabin villages are all in the same cabins. i was in jackrabbit which was a tent village and so camp starts with a getting together with your new village and doing some like, silly icebreaker games but also like... pair off randomly by a silly method and make eye contact with your new partner and just like, get intimate for a minute. we talked about how we picked our camp names, what we wanted to get out of the weekend, and... idk, already i just was feeling really good about these ppl
on the bus ride up i was sitting with splash and sunshine who were from philly and we bonded a little bc i'd been there ever, and princess proton and lulu who knew each other from previous camps and this guy pickles was sitting next to me who was kind of a weird dude from colorado and it was his first camp also and after we talked a little it turned out he had gone to a rehab thing in this part of the country so we bonded over bein sober buds
the first jackrabbity ppeople i met were bee bee sting who gave me this AMAZING nametag thing to replace my very bad nametag and the counselor ladybug who like is basically a perfect human??? one of the things we did in the group thing was go over the rules, and talk about why those rules are the rules, and about setting a like intention, a what we hope ot get out of the weekend, and by this time i had been with camp folx for like six hours so i was starting to Feel It&tm and i said my intention was that like
what i do in my life is say no. and saying yes to everything is a ridiculous goal, but my intention was to say no deliberately instead of reflexively, to see if maybe there was a yes hidden in the no.
THIS WILL BE RELEVANT LATER
like, that's the thruline, like i am going to tell you more about camp, but... there were only like two or three times the whole weekend where someone offered connection or activity or whatever and i said no, and it wasn't actually even because of my resolution most of the time?? i said yes bc i felt safe and loved and accepted the whole time, the whole whole time.
like, i don't know that i can describe what it's like to be in a place where at any time, with any person, even a stranger you're passing on one of the trails, you make eye contact and you smile and you say hi and it's a real actual connection, even if it's just for a moment, it's a real being acknowledged as another human spirit, nothing rote or formality about it
it was so easy!@!!! i don't talk to people, like i don't do that, but i was standing in line to get breakfast and the guy in front of me was looking a little like he didn't have anyone to talk to and i didn't so i was just like, hey what's up? it was the last day of camp and i just asked him like, what's one thing you're going to take home with you? and we had like 20m of conversation, and we got into some real deep stuff. and it felt as easy as breathing. his name was sparkle.
i feel like i'm skipping from one place to the other, like there isn't a cohesive narrative here, and that's something i'm always wanted about, but i just don't know how to describe it, i don't know how to show you what it felt like so i just keep pulling little trinkets out of my bag and putting them next to the growing pile and hope if i pull out enough the shape will make sense
there was a talent show, and i think it speaks volumes about how open and inviting the community is that out of like 350 ppl 55 people signed up for the talent show, including a lot of ppl who had literally never been on a stage before. there were people who were, speaking from a critical standpoint, not super good at the thing they were doing, and also legit professional performers, and the crowd!!! responded in exactly the same way for each extreme!!!! and it didnt' feel forced at all
i found out after camp was being broken down that the talent show started at 9 pm, and went 'til almost 3am. it moved from one stage to a smaller stage, and i was like third from last, and still there were thirty or so people in the audience. i closed the stage out, i wanted to be there to the end. at first i was upset about going on so late but it was so perfect, the audience was in just the right place to receive me and i was in just the right place to tell a bummer fuckin story about my shitty granddad. two spots before me a woman named fulfilled got on stage and worked her way slowly and faltering through the story of forgiving her brother for molesting her and her family for covering it up, then a guy named happy feet who did a dance and stream of consciousness about, i don't know, maybe taking too much ecstasy and just wanting to stay high forever, and then me, and then an opera singer, and sprinkle lifestyle talking about his ex-best friend blaming him for her husband’s death, and then a man named rabbi doing a guided meditation about finding your perfect self and becoming it
i cried so much, i already cry a lot but i cried so much, and i cried in front of other people, and i didn't wipe my tears i just let them fall and let myself be red and smeary and blurry and people joined me
at the 90's themed dance they played a song one of my old friends who committed suicide used to play, and bee bee walked me away from camp and just held me and then took me to the typewriter village and i wrote him a letter and then i went back into the place and danced to nirvana
there was a tea spot, a yurt where there were tea tastings and people ended up falling over each other, and i met a woman named scoby and she said "can i put my head on your shoulder" and we watched scarecrow, real name john craigie, and then the set ended and we started walking and she curled her arm around mine and we took the long way and i said, "our eyes will adjust, thank god for the moon" and we sang rent and talked about how we ended up in kind of the same place but by different routes, how she was poly and working on not falling in love so easily, and how i was just starting to allow myself to want intimacy again, and we slept together in her tent all tangled up, we talked about how we really definitely wanted to fuck, but also really didn't want to do that and i looked for her in the morning but she had already left
i was saving the last picture on my disposable camera for a picture of her but she had gone so i took a picture of myself instead, i hadn't taken any of myself
i read tarot, i read for myself and i read for a bunch of other people, and there was a tarot workshop, and i did that and we sat together in a circle and passed decks around and i cried and cried and cried when i pulled the queen of cups. i've seen the queen of cups a lot of times in reading for myself and it's always been someone else, some external force, but in that moment it was me. i had brought my deck, and it was the first time anyone other than me had touched it, and i could feel the hum of the camp in the cardstock when i read for superman later in the day, and justice jumped out of the deck, and i sat with him and his wife danger and we puzzled over the cards and then i laughed and laughed and laughed because he chose to call himself superman and we couldn't figure out what justice was supposed to mean
in the hotel last night i cried for an hour, by myself, walking from the bathroom to collapse on the bed to shuffle back towards the taps, ,how can i leave all that behind? how can i be in the real world again? how can i go back to being closed off, go back to being jack instead of dizzy?
when rabbi walked us through a field holding fallen stars, each one of them a crystal-encased version of ourselves, a past or present or future that could be, and he asked us to find our perfect self, what i saw was how i looked in that moment, i saw the me at camp, the me who everyone says couldn't stop smiling, the me who speaks soft and true, who reads cards and holds hands and says yes instead of no and has a shoulder that looks like a good place for your cheek
