Is there a universe where Optimus didn't get the Matrix and stayed as Orion Pax, while Rodimus became a Prime?
Dear Rodimus Revisionist,
In one universe, Megatron had nearly succeeded in trapping Optimus Prime in the Kronosphere, which would have trapped him billions of years into the past. But Hot Rod intervened, trading places with Optimus at the last minute and traveling back nine million years to the Golden Age of Cybertron.
Hot Rod arrived at the crucial moment when Megatron was preparing for his first siege on Iacon with an army of Dropkick clones. He saw Optimus—still Orion Pax—facing down the barrel of Megatron's fusion cannon. From Hot Rod's perspective, only a few seconds had passed between saving Optimus in the present and seeing Orion Pax in danger in the past, and he intervened again. Hot Rod was shot completely through the chest as Megatron continued his siege elsewhere.
Orion Pax, Ariel, and Dion carried the fallen Hot Rod to Alpha Trion and begged him to save their mysterious savior. As Alpha Trion rebuilt Hot Rod, Megatron discovered them and fatally wounded the elder before he could unleash the power of the Matrix. As Megatron reached out to catch the Matrix falling from Alpha Trion's hands, he was shocked to see a half-healed Hot Rod catch it instead. It transformed him at last into Rodimus Prime, who hurled Megatron with such strength that he was cast into deep space.
Rodimus Prime deputized Orion and his friends into the "Pax Cybertronia", consisting of Orion Pax, Artemis Pax (Ariel), and Cepheus Pax (Dion). Using his knowledge of future Decepticon battles, Rodimus was able to stop attacks before they even occurred, extending the Golden Age of Cybertron for millions of years.

Trollhunters Ending FIXED!!!
So....I've recently binged this entire series, fell in love with it and promptly gotten heartbroken at the shitty ending the movie gave us. SO!!!! I have seen many people hating on the ending and pretending it and the movie didn't exist. I came up with an idea that I am permanently using as a replacement for the ending that I'm pretty happy with. I can't write dramatically for shit BUT I can scribble ideas! If anyone wants to flesh this out into a one shot fic PLZ TAG ME JUST SO I CAN READ IT!!!!!
(also this is gonna read more like a screen play for a movie cus I'm a vid editor and that's how I picture stuff, doesn't always translate well into a written story! 😅)
--------------
- So everything stays the same up until Jim uses the kronosphere to go back in time
- Instead of going back to the beginning and changing everything, he travels back to when the Arcane order had finally gotten a hold of the real Nari
- Everything is still happening around him but is dead silent as if he were deaf and in slight slo mo as he gets his bearings (not actually deaf, just that kinda cinematic idea for drama!!)
- Looks around and sees everyone alive gathered around (maybe some sappy or quiet music plays on top of him seeing everyone alive, I dunno!!!)
- As this is the past they don't know Jim just came from the future and are instead focused on glaring at something
- IRL sound hits back in like a huge thud, LOUD AF!!!!
- Jarring Jim to turn around and see the Arcane order hovering in that same ball of magic that surrounded them the first time (that's what everyone is glaring at btw!)
- This is when realization for Jim sets in and he knows this is his second chance
- The music from the credits in the original film (or something like that) starts to build up (in my head it's like him and the music are going "not this fucking time!")
- He transforms into his new armour (either cus it came back in time with him or cus now he knows about the 9th configuration, your choice!)
- Camera and everything is focused on the transformation as the music is building but you can see everyone in the background looking either shocked or like "HELL YEAH!!" when they see Jim finally transforming again
- Quick dramatic shot focusing on the Arcane order still performing their spell, t
- Some sort of cheesy/bad ass hero shot showing off everyone gathered together as the "9th configuration" and ready to kick ass
- Close up on Belroc looking pissed as they realize Jim has transformed and everyone is gathered to fight
- Equally cheesy close up on Jim quietly but determinedly saying something like "not this time" or "my turn" (I can't do dialogue I'm sorry!!!;)
- Jim jumps into fight with everyone following behind
- Final shot of everyone running toward the camera (Arcane order) and cuts to black with Jim swinging Excalibur at the camera.
- As it cuts to black the outro music (roughly 20 secs into it) hits the beat drop at the same time as the credits start!
--------------
Cliffhanger-ish ending, doesn't get rid of the whole story, leaves it up to imagination on who still lives and dies, doesn't undo character development, has more of a feel good "HELL YEAH!!" ending to it (at least for me!) Doesn't feel like a definite ending but has enough to still feel like Trollhunters isn't just over and wrapped up nice and nearly with a pretty bow! For me this works and I'm happy to pretend this is canon. Tbh 90% sure this looks cooler in my head than how it's written down, I might get round to making a vid edit for it on YouTube (cus that's my specialty) but dunno if anyone actually wants to see that!
As I said I'm not a writer so apologies for this chaos!! I don't usually post these things that I think about (cus I've also imaged a better ending for game of thrones!) But I just really wanted to share this in case someone else also enjoyed the concept or in case anyone wants to translate this mess into something coherent!
Anyway, rant done and idea written out, go have fun with it you want, just plz tag cuz I wanna read if you! 😭🙏

Howdy!!
KLEB, Kronosphere, and Daylight for the TOA ask game!
Hi!
Random headcanon? Let's go with something really random. The Shattered King tried to befriend Gunmar. Gunmar had no idea what the hell friendly intentions were and misinterpreted it as an act of aggression. The tragedy of misunderstanding of the troll world.
If you could change one thing about TOA, what would it be? Different ROTT. And probably better connection between 3Below part and the rest of TOA.
Favorite characters? My top three are Jim, Claire and Barbara.

So. I rewatched RoTT yesterday evening.
I know. How on earth did I cope with that? Why would I torture myself like that? It was because the first time I watched it I was purely feeling emotions of betrayal disappointment and anger. So I'm going to give a quick summary of points in the movie, both bad and good, and debunk common issues fans have with that ending. (Surprisingly it was not as bad as I remembered. Strickler sounded a little croaky but not so much and his design was in need of improving on his hair and eyes, but not much else.)
The kill count was insane. Me and my sister estimated that thousands of people, perhaps more, died. And Archie and Charlemagne are pretty much dead. The whole bridge collapsed.
Positives
Animation was mostly perfect. The fight scenes were beautiful. The expressions were subtle and more realistic.
Voice acting was faultless almost.
It DID have good character interactions, as well as emotional scenes. And the music was pretty amazing too.
Negatives
The fight scenes were monotonous after a while. There were too many and I felt a emotional disconnect after a while. It was a little boring compared to the series.
The only death they put significance on was Toby’s. The others were completely brushed over. And of course largely unnecessary. (writers were cruel to poor Strickler especially).
The script let it down. Some lines were good. But not many.
Okay. Onto the common complaints. Bare in mind I don't like RoTT, and do not consider it Canon.
Jim's decision was selfish. He should have dealt with his grief and not used the kronosphere.
No. It was the opposite. It was selfless. Jim loved Toby like a brother. He loved Strickler like a dad. Douxie lost the only remaining people in his life he loved literally. Nomura was a close friend. Sacrifice comes in different forms. Yes the deaths were stupid. But it showed what a strong drive love is. If it was always meant to be, it will be. Jim made a decision collectively, it was not his decision only. Blinky, Aja, so many agreed it was the correct decision. To save their loved ones.
Jim should not have given the amulet to Toby. Unbecoming showed what would happen if Jim wasn't the Trollhunter.
It was foreshadowed a LOT in Trollhunters. I'm in the middle of rewatching, and twice Toby has been first mistaken as the Trollhunter then called for the glory of Merlin. Toby was the one with the most compassion. He was the one who spared Chomsky he was the only one who called Angor’s name when he died the second time. And Jim is right there. He knows the future, he will not leave Toby. Unbecoming was a vision from Merlin. One that was pretty manipulating. Plus, Draal was the one who shouldn't be chosen.
RoTT makes the other series pointless. It undoes everything.
This is what I'm most pissed about. My mum said it would have made way more sense if the movie events happened before the series, so it didn't feel as much like a gut punch. But I've got a way around this. When Jim tells Strickler he'd like to introduce him to his mom, his expression goes from surprise to a warm smile. That's a weird reaction. It suggests Strickler might have an echo of remembrance. Which is how I think retrieving memories is an almost certain possibility. It happens with Claire too. Even Toby’s reaction to the amulet comes across as glee rather than surprise. This is the dude who thought it was a gaudy bauble in Trollhunters and dismissed it pretty quickly.
So yeah. I'm done. It was bad but not world ending. Please don't kill me. I was looking at it with zero emotion, pure logic. I still don't believe it's Canon. Not true to the characters. There's no feeling of timelessness I get with rewatching Trollhunters, no awe. It was a meh movie that had the potential to be great but fell flat on its face.

WOAH what if the Kronosphere could do more than reverse time?? What if it could make interactive projections of the past, present, and future? Well that’s what’s happening here. Full disclosure: upsetting themes ahead, such as child abuse and misgendering (not sure how to tag that one, really, so I’m sorry in advance)
Skrael comes into contact with it, and he finds himself in the frozen tundra during a heavy snowfall. Nothing unusual, until he suddenly hears muffled crying. Curious, he follows the sound, and finds a small child all alone, who’s sitting with their knees to their chest facing away from him. He opens his mouth to speak, but stops dead in his tracks when they turn around to face him. Their hair was really long, with strands of it hiding some of their face, but not enough to hide the sad and scared look in their eyes, along with the bruise on their cheek. Neither of them break the lock on each other’s eyes for a while. Something about the child was scarily familiar to Skrael, and it made him uneasy.
“You.. who are-“
“Mom hurt me again.” The child barely speaks above a whisper, then looks down at the ground. “I don’t want to go back home, but I’m hungry and cold. I know she’ll be mad that I ran away.”
“Your mother did that to you?” Skrael gestures at their cheek, and the child nods.
“SGARAELI!” A raspy voice booms from a short distance, the child jumps, and Skrael’s head thrashes in the direction of the voice and approaching footsteps. A woman with similarly long hair that was tied up stormed her way through the snow, a scowl on her face. Suddenly Skrael was stunned, quite literally, as he was forced to witness everything.
“Master, I’m sorry-“ The little child barely gets an opportunity to speak before the woman grabs a fistful of the child’s hair, and they yelp in response. “You insolent girl! How dare you! The absolute gall you have, remember you are loyal only to me, you don’t get to leave! You and I are going home, now!! We have-“ The rest of the angry woman’s words were blurred, and the reality around Skrael started to fall apart. The projection has faded, the Kronosphere’s light no longer pulsing. The ice wizard falls to his knees, having felt like he had been kicked in the stomach. Not knowing whatever torture that was, he was sure he didn’t want to go interact with the Kronosphere’s projections again.
So that’s all I got sorry if it sucked, I’m rusty when it comes to fic writing. For those who are unaware I headcanon Skrael to be ftm, and before he was the North Wind he was a human spellcaster in training with an abusive mother (who will always refer to him as a girl and other feminine pronouns). So here he sees a projection of his past self, and isn’t even aware it’s him cuz he damn near forgot every aspect of his human life, but his trauma makes him remember the emotions behind the abuse he endured. I made more art for it but Tumblr would probably get mad at me cuz it contains nipples.

Two things for TOA; who's your favorite character and why, and what part of the franchise do you think had the most wasted potential?
Now I'm sure, if you know me, that it's pretty damn obvious that Jim is my favorite character, so I'm just going to be brief about this. One of the main appeal to me is the monster trope that is associated with him, because that's how I got into toa in the first place. I think it's one of the things that really makes him stand out to other protags that are similar to him. It's also really fun to explore cause it's a trope that's really underrated and one that I don't see much in media sooo-
For other characters it's Douxie, his design is solid and I love the the journey he goes through in wizards. I believe Claire too, cause I draw her a lot. Idk I just really like the a good chunk of the main characters in these shows. It's a chaotic friendship and I love that.
The second question- ooooo boy. I think, although it being the most obvious answer, it's rott that has the most wasted potential. For wizards, I would say that I'm fairly satisfied with Wizards (with my only real issues being the twist with Jim and that the didn't really include elements involving 3 Below all that much, I'll touch more on this later) but with rott, it had a lot of potential with the premise it had.
Deities wishing to reset the world because they've grown tired of humanity creating an imbalance and forcing magical creatures out of their land and persecuting them over the years, that's such an interesting premise that can easily be equated to real world issues. But no, it's just a typical adventure story with a black and white heroes vs villains with no nuance whatsoever (And since the story can easily be equated to real world issues, it makes the implications kind of messy ngl). Also we just don't get that much interactions between different characters, most of that time it has to something in relation to Jim which is fucking boring story wise.
Literally I can't think of a single moment where one of the other main characters have a moment that relates to an arc of their own. Which really cause there are some characters that are soo due for a character arc of their own.
Another is just the refusal to use any of the worldbuilding from the different installments. I'm going to start with 3Below. There's been this issue where the writers don't put in enough effort to include and tie in 3Below's characters and worldbuilding to the overarching stories. I see people say how 3Below doesn't fit or belong in the series as a fault of the show itself which I don't agree with. I think it's more of the fault of the writers because they have every opportunity to include 3Below to the story if they really wanted, especially in rott. (I would also like to mention that in an article, Diego Luna said there was going to be an arc for Krel in wizards, but it was cut).
For wizards it was more like rott didn't build upon what it brought to the table, especially when it comes to information regarding to the Arcane Order. Like who are they? What are they? How the fuck did the Genesis Seal came to be? Are they demigods or wizards? Did Nari create the Kronosphere or Heart of Avalon? What the fuck were Bellroc and Skrael doing during the centuries after the Battle of Killahead? There so much but no new information is given to the world.
WHEW, THAT WAS A LOT. I'm going to leave it that that but yeah, there's a lot of wasted potential towards rott SDKJASALK-

I would love to hear about times greatest illusions
I was disappointed by ROTT. I was disappointed by the Loki series. Both happened to be around the same time frame, and so an idea was hatched by @crazycometspecular 's comic that I thought was funny enough; Jim getting arrested by the TVA before he can mess up the timeline further with the Kronosphere.
Here's the little bit I wrote while my attention was still on it:

and a fun extra bit while discussing it with @eurazba

so I just finished watching Rise of the Titans since I lost track of the Tales of Arcadia franchise when the OG Trollhunters series ended. skipped 3Below but watched Wizards. my overall consensus when it comes to the movie is:
it’s not bad, but it’s disappointingly mediocre. overall meh. 
killing off 1, 2...5? characters? separately and as a whole those deaths suffice, even if I’m a little grouchy because I like Strickler and Nomura (also the only Changelings). my only serious critic when it comes to these deaths are that they were too close together, and while Nomura’s was tragic by her weakness being harnessed in a way that couldn’t be prevented, Strickler’s felt lazy and as if the only purpose was to hurt the audience and Barbara because apparently, Barbara can’t have nice things. it didn’t feel natural like Nomura’s and instead the scene felt purposefully manipulated to orchestrate the death. Toby’s death was similarly natural, and not one I had issue with besides it being Toby. Skrael and Nari’s double KO was fine as well.
the Steve pregnancy thing was just bizarre and subtracted from interest. like a weird comedy relief plotline that just made you uncomfortable instead. I mean the Fairly Oddparents mpreg plotline was weird but...at least it was a plotline. Steve was pregnant for...18 hours. that’s not a plotline, that’s a youtube compilation.
so the movie was fine for 90 minutes, and then Jim gets the idea to go back in time to prevent all the shit that just happened.
Now, my main gripe about this isn’t how it erased the past 3 series or that he’s passing off his responsibilities to Toby or that he never met Claire or Blinky or whatever. 
My gripe is that this was literally the episode before his trial for freeing Gunmar in Season 2. Episode 11, “Unbecoming”. He already experienced what life had been like if he went back to the beginning, and life if he has never been the Trollhunter. What’s the point of making that the movie ending if there was already a whole episode dedicated to refuting the point 5 years ago? Jim was always meant for the role, and it transformed his life for the better even if it came with downsides. And not only his life, but so many others as well. Heck, the end of that dream sequence is literally the apocalypse where like everyone Jim loves, including Draal the Trollhunter, dies. Jim sacrificed a lot and made a lot of tough decisions after getting the amulet, but it’s even more reason to not fuck up the time stream and make what he has that much more meaningful.
Speaking of, the other issue is that Tales of Arcadia has an love for the time travel trope that was literally...the death of it. I mean Wizards was great yeah, but that’s enough time travel. Also not sure how to feel about Jim doing a hard-reset from troll to human as the end there but...it’s fine. i mean part 3′s focus on his decision to sacrifice some of his humanity for the good of all was pretty important and it’s a bit iffy to reverse that. alas he just had a sick ass half-troll form. and troll form. i liked hulking troll jim ngl.
“trollhunter make ninth configuration. kronosphere make right.” I mean, no offense nari, but after the whole emphasis during the movie where the world should not be reset, I’m not sure resetting at least the past 2 years is any better. That already undoes too much. it doesn’t really “make right”. No resetting.
jim doesn’t even know...more than half the “configuration” at the beginning of the series. blinky, arrraaagh, krel and aja, nomura, he barely knows douxie, isn’t close with claire, nari is in camelot, steve hates him. he might be doing this to bring back the people he lost, but in doing so, they don’t even have those bonds anymore. it’s just...weird. 
and finally, the weirdest thing...how the hell did the amulet even choose Toby?? I don’t think it can be “given” away like that according to the series mythos. not only is it weird for jim to “let” or even want toby to be the trollhunter, but the amulet can’t assign itself to a new person can it?? or did it decide that jim was no longer worthy for changing his viewpoint and decide toby is a better option.

Why the "rise of the Titans" movie is actually really good. The ending is horrible tho. First of we get deeper into Jim's need to protect his found family. He feels so deeply for those he had lost. Even sacrificing everything he loves in order to get them back. He also saves Claire and Badly burns his hand in the process. Another thing is he is willing to fight Belroc even if the world is reborn and he doesn't get to say goodbye to his loved ones. He finally gives up all his progress for a better future so Toby can come back. When Nari said "Kronosphere will make right, only trollhunter will know." She doesn't mean the trollhunter will know what to do with it, she means only the trollhunter will know of the first timeline. We see that no one remembers the other time except for him. That's why everything except the ending of the rise of the Titans movie is really good.

Are there any timelines where Scorpia is a Decepticon?
Dear Allegiance Agent,
Certainly—the multiverse is vast, after all, and faction membership changes over time.
In one universe she was a scientist working for Shockwave to develop the Kronosphere. In fact it was that very invention that alerted me to her presence, when it malfunctioned and released a small swarm of chronovorous pseudo-life into her lab. With the continuum beginning to unravel, I intervened, and together we repelled the foul entities, restoring existence... with the side effect of an extra Kilocycle of time that shouldn't exist.
I was going to repair it, when Scorpia begged me not to; apparently she was behind on several projects, and the prospect of extra time to complete them was something she couldn't pass up. I admit I always had trouble resisting those golden eyes, and I gave in. Of course, I would never leave a Decepticon alone in a chronal anomaly, even one that would collapse eventually, and so I remained to watch over her, and make sure her projects weren't about to swing the balance of the war unnaturally.
Over that time, we did become close, although given the nature of our time together, you'll understand how our relationship couldn't progress any further than friendship. Which is why I was surprised to find—when the bubble of time finally collapsed and we went our separate ways—that she had stencilled her personal contact frequency on my solar panels while I wasn't looking.
Which just goes to prove how sneaky those Decepticons can be.

Trollhunters : Rise of The Titans [Rika’s Version!]
AIGHT SO THIS IS WHAT SHOULD’VE FREAKIN’ HAPPENED --
The movie starts a year after Wizards. We see Douxie, Archie, and Nari all settled in Metro City. Douxie managed to get a dinky little apartment and works two jobs. He comes home after a long day to Nari and Archie.
Maybe Nari’s running around chasing after Archie. Maybe the two of them are curled up on the couch and snoozing. Douxie smiles softly, petting Archie’s head and gently brushes Nari’s hair out of her face. Maybe Nari was singing to one of her plants and just beams when Douxie walks through the door. Just Magical Siblings and Their Therapy Cat fluff.
But that night, Douxie wakes up. Something feels very, very wrong. Nari feels it, too. 
Cut to the door to their apartment being busted right through, flames quickly consuming the threshold. To Douxie’s horror, it’s the Arcane Order and he immediately goes on the offensive. This is the first display in the movie of Douxie’s strength as a Master Wizard, his proficiency and skill with his magic as he holds his own against Bellroc and Skrael as he did in Wizards. He tells Archie to take Nari and run but neither of them want to leave him behind. Archie instead fights beside Douxie, urging for Nari to escape while she can. Nari’s reluctant because Douxie and Archie have become so precious to her.
When it looks like they’re about to be done in, Archie wills himself to transform into a huge dragon, taking Douxie and Nari into his claws and flying out of there, busting straight out of the apartment. But not before giving Bellroc and Skrael a thrashing with his tail. They manage to give the Order the slip. For now.
Archie quickly loses steam from holding such a form and crashes on the outskirts of the city, transforming back into a cat. Douxie cradles him in his arms. Nari tends to their wounds with her magic, looking forlorn. 
Douxie frantically dials a number on his phone. 
“Claire? Claire it’s me...” A column of fire erupts in the distance. A shot of Douxie, Archie, and Nari huddled close. “They found us.”
Trollhunters : Rise of the Titans Title Screen
The scene fades in on the new and improved Camelot, where the Lakes are staying. We see Jim spending time with his mother and Walter and it’s lovely. We see a hint of Jim’s trauma when he’s cooking and looks at his reflection in a spatula. He flinches away. He doesn’t want to look at himself. Barbara comforts him, a tender heartfelt moment between them.
Claire then emerges from a shadow portal with grim news : The Arcane Order have found Douxie and Nari.
Jim gathers his friends. Claire shadow portals them all to Douxie, who’s found shelter in a hut Nari made from tree roots. Douxie’s cast a barrier to hide their presence, though it won’t last long. 
It’s a really sweet and awesome reunion. Douxie gives Claire and Steve big hugs. Nari bounds up to Toby and holds his hand. Jim, Krel, and Douxie have a “good to see you again, bro” moment between them. Aaarrgh licks his lips at the sight of Archie.
It’s here that Douxie gives the deets on what’s happened. As they begin to figure out a way to keep Nari safe and away from the Order, Nari suddenly says, “No.”
After almost losing Douxie and Archie, her new family, Nari decides enough is enough. She wants to face her corrupted siblings head-on. To not only protect the world, but her newfound friends. 
Douxie understandably protests. But Nari, gentle but resolute, tells him she’s made up her mind. No more running.
And so, Douxie acquiesces. 
Cue the sequence/fight scene on the train!
Nari realizes what Douxie’s doing when it’s too late. They switch bodies and Douxie’s taken away by the Order. 
“Douxie, I’m so sorry...I couldn’t save her,” Claire laments.
Nari, in Douxie’s body, “N-no...No, I am fine. But Douxie...Douxie!”
Everyone’s like, “Oh no” but then oof, they all get arrested.
The police department scene! With Krel and the Blanks busting everyone out.
Now, we find ourselves back on Camelot where Jim’s being attended to by Walter and Barbara after waking up from a nightmare. Bellroc’s words torment him : “Without your Amulet, you are nothing but a frightened! Little!! BOY!!!”
Walter suggests Jim should lay low, let his friends handle things. Jim reaches a real low point here. Claire provides some comfort. Hand in hand, they make their way to the Round Table, where everyone’s licking their wounds. 
Blinky explains to them that the Order wants to awaken the Titans and need all three members of the Order to do so. While everyone’s relieved that Nari’s safe, Douxie’s now in the Order’s clutches and they want to figure out a way to save him.
Nari, sad and grim, says that Douxie’s spell will eventually wear off.
“He is, as humans say, buying us time...”
Cut to Douxie (in Nari’s body) with the Order. Douxie doesn’t make a sound, not wanting to give anything away. They try the ritual and when it fails, Bellroc and Skrael quickly suspect foul play. They realize that Nari isn’t Nari and proceed to forcefully, painfully, undo Douxie’s spell.
Douxie wakes up, back in his own body. He’s swarmed by his friends, all overcome with relief that he’s alright, but it’s short-lived. The Order has Nari. 
Douxie manages to recall where the Order took him. Before they head out, a downtrodden Jim says he should stay behind, going back to the bed chamber. Claire goes to talk to him, but Douxie stops her.
“Let’s give him some space,” Douxie says gently, though he looks just as concerned for Jim. “In the meantime,” he summons his staff, “we’ll hunt the Order down, put a stop to their schemes, and bring Nari home.”
Everyone heads to the warehouse-train track place (I forgot what it was called rip). Just then, Aja comes flying in, having been contacted by Krel. The Tarron siblings have a sweet, wholesome, long-awaited reunion. Also Staja and Creepslayerz reunited!
Aja cautions Steve about the whole seventh kiss-pregnancy thing and he quickly decides that, yeah no, he’s not quite ready for that. His Alien Queen Muffin (or whatever the heck he called her) is back and that’s all that matters to him. Also wtf Eli’s hot and taller than him now.
There’s a cute moment of Douxie and Aja really meeting for the first time. Aja recognizes him.
“Oh! You were the hand-reading waiter boy!”
Upon hearing she’s a Queen, Douxie’s Medieval chivalry kicks in and he bows at the waist.
“The name’s Hisirdoux, Your Majesty.” After Aja butchers his name, he says “Douxie” will do just fine. 
Nomura abruptly reminds them they don’t have time for pleasantries. They get to it. Douxie figures out the sigil and the illusion fades, revealing the Order performing their ritual with a brainwashed Nari. They’re unable to stop it and the Order members teleport away to join with their respective Titans. We see each of the Titans rising.
The Arcadia Gang regroups back on Camelot to form a plan. Jim, discouraged and deeply troubled, is leaning over a rail, head in his hands. Douxie comes up beside him, silent.
Jim eventually asks how things went. When Douxie tells him they failed and the Titans have risen, Jim feels even more powerless and guilt-ridden.
“I’m sorry...I’m sorry, I couldn’t...I can’t do anything. Without the Amulet I’m not the Trollhunter anymore and I’m just...useless--”
Douxie cuts him off, putting a hand on Jim’s shoulder. 
“Jim. That’s not true. Do you remember what I told you? That our strength doesn’t come from special trinkets. Our strength...” Douxie finally gets Jim to look at him, “comes from our friends. From each other. All of us together. That includes you.”
“But...without my Amulet how can I do anything--”
Douxie smiles gently. “By being true to yourself, Jim. As we, your friends, are true to you.”
Just then, Claire joins them and asks if Jim’s okay. Jim smiles as Douxie ruffles his hair.
“I will be. Thanks.”
Jim, Claire, and Douxie find everyone arguing at the Round Table. Aja is wanting to evacuate everyone off of Earth, to which Blinky protests. Everyone just keeps going back and forth until Jim yells for them to stop.
Time to divide and conquer, cutting back and forth between each battle with the Titans.
Aja, Krel, Steve, and Eli tackle the Fire Titan.
Blinky, Toby, and Nomura handle the Ice Titan, with Walter and Barbara steering Camelot.
Jim, Claire, Douxie, and Aaarrgh go for the Earth Titan. Douxie’s hoping to get through to Nari and break her free from the Order’s control.
Aja and Krel fight the Fire Titan side by side on their hoverboard. Steve and Eli help civilians off the bridge and keep them safe. 
Varvatos Vex in his giant robo mech incoming, along with a handful of Akiridion warships.
The Fire Titan proves to be too powerful and defeats Varvatos’ robot, melting down the Akiridion troops in the process. Aja and Krel are knocked down from their hoverboard. They and Varvatos retreat as the Fire Titan continues to burn a path towards its destination.
Toby and Nomura attempt to zipline their way to the Ice Titan to take down Skrael with Akiridion bombs. When the rope fails, Walter extends his wings to save them, but his wings quickly freeze. 
Nomura grabs the bombs and sacrifices herself, bidding a heartwrenching farewell to Toby and her longtime friend, thanking them both. She asks Toby to tell Jim she said goodbye. Ever agile, Nomura scales the Ice Titan and detonates the bombs.
But to everyone’s horror, the Ice Titan only puts itself back together. Walter sinks to his knees. Toby throws down his helmet. Their friend sacrificed herself for nothing.
Aaarrgh is charging after the Earth Titan, Douxie, Jim, and Claire hanging onto his back. Claire shadow portals the three of them onto the Titan’s back. Douxie begins to plead with Nari, even as she constricts him with vines.
Douxie manages to grab her hand. He begins to break the mind-control with his magic, still calling out to Nari as he’s losing the ability to breathe. 
Douxie’s voice reaches her and she breaks free. Nari frantically asks where she is, if she hurt him or his friends. Douxie, overcome with relief, just embraces her.
“You’re here with us, Nari...You’re here with us.”
Nari assures them they have a Titan on their side now. They receive communication from the Tarrons, who warn them that the Ice Titan is getting close to Arcadia.
No time to wonder why Skrael’s headed there. Claire makes a massive shadow portal to Arcadia (the field trip scene!), taking Nari’s Titan with them. Nari tries to reason with Skrael, but he’s having none of it.
NARI VS SKRAEL COMMENCE!
The Tarrons and Creepslayerz arrive on scene. Douxie boards Aja’s hoverboard and together they fire lazers and magic at the Ice Titan. Varvatos dashes and slashes his way up the Titan. Claire, Jim, Krel, Steve, and Eli work to rescue the school bus from getting crushed.
Well, it does get crushed but thankfully everyone made it off. Then, Archie comes flying in with his father, Charlemagne. Charlie flies all the students and Coach to safety. Archie joins Douxie in the air, blasting Skrael with fire.
“C’mon and face the music, Skrael!!!” Douxie summons Spellcaster and starts shredding.
Enraged, Skrael releases a devastating burst of magic that knocks Douxie, Aja, and Varvatos away. Nari seizes the opportunity to impale Skrael’s Titan, but not before Nari’s fatally wounded by him in return. Both Titans collapse.
Douxie runs to Nari, desperately calling her name. She’s on the ground, dying. Everyone gathers around, devastated. Douxie holds Nari in his arms. Archie nuzzles Nari’s arm, tears forming in his eyes. Douxie’s already crying.
“No..No, no, Nari, please...” Douxie holds her hand. “Nari, don’t go, please...!”
“It is okay, Douxie...Do not be sad...”
“I’m sorry...I’m sorry, I said I would protect you...” Douxie leans down, almost touching his forehead to hers (it’s Harry and Dobby y’all). His tears fall onto her face. “I said I would protect you...!”
“You did something greater, Douxie...” Nari squeezes his hand. Tears of her own roll down her cheeks. “You gave me a home. And many, many friends....” Douxie sobs harder, holding her close. “You saved me, Douxie...” She’s beginning to fade. She smiles, her eyes closing. “Thank you...Thank...”
Nari fades, wisps of magic and flower petals slipping through Douxie’s fingers. Douxie wails, Archie pressing close. Jim and Claire lay their hands on his shoulders. Claire hugs him.
Krel is then alerted that the Fire Titan is also on the move towards Arcadia.
Everyone reconvenes on Camelot. They all mourn the deaths of Nomura and Nari. 
They learn that Bellroc is headed towards Arcadia, the center of the universe, because that’s where the last Heartstone is. If at least one Titan reaches the Heartstone, the world will be wiped clean.
Before they head out, Douxie and the Tarrons present Jim with a brand new Amulet, forged from magic and Akiridion technology. That, and the stone in which Excaliber lodged itself. Douxie encourages Jim to try once more. 
Jim steps up on the stone, gazing fondly at his friends around him. They all place their hands on the stone in support. Jim pulls Excaliber from the stone. Everyone cheers for him.
Douxie’s seen texting someone.
FINAL SHOWDOWN IN ARCADIA
Bellroc is seen making their way towards the Heartstone. But what stands between them and the prize is the Guardians of Arcadia. 
Charlemagne, Archie, and Walter soar above. Blinky and Aaarrgh lead an army of trolls. More Akiridion fleets arrive, Aja and Krel at the helm. Varvatos has a brand new robo, too.
Bellroc sneers at their defiance and summons an army of their own : hundreds of big rocky lava monsters.
BATTLE OF THE MOST EPIC OF PROPORTIONS IS A GO.
Trolls are punching, Akiridions are blasting, magicians are casting.
JIM SUITS UP WITH HIS NEW ARMOR AND EXCALIBER AND IS LIKE DON’T THINK BECOMIN’ FOR YA BELLROC FOR THE GOOD OF AAAAAAAALL
Douxie conjures up a spell to send that boy flying onto that Fire Titan.
Toby and Aaarrgh slam and hammer their way through fiery goons. Claire and Aja team up to take down the opposition, noting they should get lunch together sometime. Charlemagne tears through the enemies with his claws and wings. Krel and the Creepslayerz flail about and kick tail anyway. 
Our heroes all cover one another and play off of each other’s strengths and it’s beautiful.
When Douxie’s about to get smothered by lava fists, there’s a flash of lightening and the monsters vaporize. 
Douxie turns to see Zoe with a brigade of hedge wizards. Douxie’s immediately bowled over, smitten.
“About time you showed up...,” Douxie says, in a daze cause wow Zoe’s so pretty.
“Oh, you’ve got a lot of nerve --” Explosions. More lava monsters. Zoe sighs and pats Douxie’s cheek. “Ugh, focus, you big sap!”
The pair are unstoppable together, mowing down the lava monsters in powerful bursts of blue and pink.
DOUXIE’S EYES GO BLUE AND ZOE’S EYES GO PINK EPIC AVATAR STATE RINGS OF MAGIC AS THEY DECIMATE THEIR FOES WITH ROCK MUSIC BLARING YESSSS
And well, Douxie can’t help himself and gives Zoe a good long smooch after they’ve destroyed half of Bellroc’s army.
Toby in the distance : HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN A THING?????
Archie just groans.
And meanwhile, Jim’s finally facing off with Bellroc. After having one of the most badass fights in the franchise, Jim comes out on top, skewering Bellroc in the stomach with Excaliber.
AND BOOM THEY DID IT GUYS EARTH IS SAVED.
....But not without great cost.
Toby’s been mortally wounded, crushed by the falling pieces of the Fire Titan. There’s the tearful, heartbreaking moment Jim has to say goodbye to his best friend, the one who was there with him through it all.
“We did it, Jimbo...We did it...”
Jim holds Toby in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Claire holds Jim and weeps beside him. Aaarrgh is in hysterics but is calmed to pained whimpers by Blinky. The Arcadia Gang grieves, feeling the painful weight of losing the friends they held so dear....Nomura, Nari, and now Toby.
Time Skip/Montage
Douxie found a proper apartment in Arcadia. He keeps a potted plant with those distinct pink flowers, the flowers Nari loved, on his windowsill. Smiles softly at them every time. 
Scenes of Mary with Darci as she mourns. Steve and Eli hanging out. Douxie and Krel jamming, Krel creating beats and Douxie riffing on his guitar. Aja and Claire going on that lunch date. Archie taking a nap on top of Aaarrgh. Walter playing classical music.
It’s taken a while, but Jim’s starting to feel a little bit better. Douxie, Krel, Steve, and Eli came over for some bro time. Seeing the pain in his eyes, Douxie gives Jim a hug.
The final scene is a picnic at everyone’s favorite spot in Arcadia with a single bench and an awesome view of the town.
Aja and Steve are cuddling. Krel and Eli play with a frisbee. Blinky, Aaarrgh, and Varvatos laugh around a table. Douxie and Zoe, holding hands, are having a lively chat with Claire. Jim serves up a huge plate of enchiladas.
Walter and Barbara announce their engagement. Everyone celebrates. 
EMOTIONAL SPEECH VOICEOVER TIME.
Aja, Varvatos, and Eli depart back to Akiridion-5. Steve honks into a tissue. Krel pats him on the back as he waves to his sister.
Barbara kisses Jim on the forehead before going home with Walter.
Zoe kisses Douxie on the cheek and heads off. 
Steve and Krel are the next to go.
Douxie, Archie around his shoulders, pulls both Jim and Claire into a hug before leaving.
Blinky gives Jim a hug. Aaarrgh nuzzle him, looking sad. 
Jim and Claire hold hands and sit on the bench, gazing out at the town.
EMOTIONAL SPEECH VOICEOVER ENDS T_T
The End.

i have no idea how long this has been sitting in my drafts but I think the premise was he’s thrown into another universe after using the kronosphere, one where everyone is the opposite of who they were in the original timeline ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s Fix it Fic o’ Clock
Post RoTT, where Jim awakens after witnessing Claire’s death in the previous timeline and races to her house to restore her memories.
WARNING: GRAPHIC
32 times.
Jim had reset the timeline 32 times since Toby’s death.
Each time he went back, he was able to save all but one.
During the first few resets, he had gone through losing Toby over and over again, holding his grimy and lifeless hand from beneath the piles of debris he grew all too weary of. He had hoped losing Toby that many times would numb his emotions, and he would be able to better prepare for it—expect it, even. But every time it came as a greater devastation, growing more and more painful with each failure.
The following resets had varied. He had gained sickening memories of sitting beside his mother among the remains of the fire titan and holding her tightly as they mourned Strickler together. He remembered pounding his fists into the rubble as he screamed and thrashed over Nomura’s death. He remembered the hollow feeling that drilled deeper and deeper into his chest as he stared at the stone remains of Blinky. He remembered clutching tightly to Douxie’s icy corpse, listening to the wails and screams of Claire and Zoe as they gathered around him. But one memory haunted him above all others—a memory he tried desperately to eliminate, but could never shake: Claire’s trembling body, her hands gripping tightly to Bellroc’s staff lodged deeply into her stomach. Jim remembered trying to calm her as best he could before he tore the staff out of her, her screams piercing his ears and leaving him scarred.
It’s going to be okay, he’d sobbed. I promise you, Claire, it’s going to be okay. I won’t let you die. I love you too much to let you die.
He’d screamed for help, finding Douxie and Toby at his side in an instant, telling Claire to hold on, that they would fix this.
Cradling her head in his hands, he’d watched as her gaze became distant and her eyes glossed over. He’d shook her desperately, calling her name as if by some miracle, she’d respond. He remembered the feel of her lips against his, cold and lifeless, unmoving as he’d kissed her for the last time. That day, he didn’t hesitate to destroy the kronosphere. He didn’t even look back at his friends to say goodbye.
1 reset later, he sat on the steps of his porch, a light evening breeze ruffling tufts of his hair. He turned the amulet over in his hands carefully, tracing his thumb along the brim, mumbling the incantation softly to himself.
In every reset, the amulet had called to him. Though Jim wished he could refuse his destiny, he now understood that the mantle of Trollhunter was always going to be his to wield. As the armor began to form around him and envelope his body, memories of past lifetimes flashed in his mind.
He felt sick.
His chest plate fit into place gently around his torso, and the other pieces of metal wrapped around his limbs effortlessly and began shrinking to fit his rather skinny build. He held out his right hand grudgingly and swallowed hard, feeling the energy of Daylight build in his palm and materialize between the spaces of his fingers. He closed his eyes as the heavy sword began to shift and adjust, feeling lighter and lighter until it was perfectly balanced. He furrowed his eyebrows, clenching his jaw as he felt the weight of the armor settle around him. He opened his eyes slowly to find himself decorated in the pristine suit of armor he despised so much. He felt nauseous, worrying that at any moment he might purge. Jim grabbed at the amulet angrily and tore it from his armor, glaring at it as heat rose in his chest.
“There,” he growled, “you happy? You’re mine now.”
The amulet remained still in his palm, pulsing faintly in response. Jim scoffed.
“Let’s just get this over with,” he spat, shoving the relic into the back pocket of his jeans and trudging towards his house to retrieve his bike from the garage. As he climbed atop his rusted and squeaky transport, the image of Claire’s battered and bloodied body flashed in his mind. He halted his movements abruptly, placing a shaky hand against the side of the garage and swallowing. He breathed deeply in an attempt to calm his nerves, regaining his bearings after a few tense moments. He proceeded to board his bike, adjusting his footing before peddling speedily off into the night with one destination in mind.
The soft and gentle evening breeze turned into a fierce and icy wind, whipping mercilessly at his clothes and hair as he rode. His stomach churned as he thought once more of Claire, his breathing turning harsh and ragged as he peddled.
Just two more lefts and a right, he thought to himself, trying his best to achieve self-assurance. Jim would see her soon, healthy and alive, beaming at him brightly just as he remembered.
He banked left, passing a pair of headlights with a heavy WHOOSH. He tried hard to focus on that smiling Claire he’d planted in his mind, but the memory became tainted, slowly morphing into the sickening image of her glassy eyes staring back at him. He took another left, rising above his seat to peddle faster, his bike leaning back and forth with each pump of his legs. His heart beat faster with each house he passed, his vision becoming blurred with hot tears. He quickly wiped them away with his sleeve, focusing on the path ahead.
Veering right, the Nuñez estate came into view, each window aglow with a faint yellow light. Jim practically leapt from his bike and onto the lawn, stumbling forward as he raced through the grass and latched onto the wood pillars of Claire’s house as quietly as he could. He scaled the wood hastily, throwing himself onto the slanted roof that stood before her window. His heavy breaths came to an abrupt halt as he caught a glimpse of her. She lay on her side comfortably, a pair of earbuds snug in her ears and a pen in her hand, scribbling notes on what appeared to be a thick packet of paper—a script, no doubt.
Jim had to fight the urge to throw her window open and envelope her tightly in his arms. In this timeline, they hadn’t formally met yet, since it began in the evening after school had ended. Jim went looking for the amulet on his way home, making up an excuse to stay behind for a few minutes while Toby trudged ahead. He didn’t want to explain his findings to Toby again. After the first few resets, he had gotten a bit weary of giving his best friend the Trollhunter Tragedy and preferred restoring his memories to spare the monologue.
Now, Jim prepared to do the same with Claire, gripping the amulet tightly in his back pocket and whispering the words Douxie taught him to say several timelines ago. He chanted the brief phrase and brought the amulet out before him, watching as three glowing orbs emerged from the blue stone and disappeared behind Claire’s window, leaving a smokey trail of light in their wake.
Jim hastily pocketed the amulet and stepped forward, silently praying that the spell had worked. Before he had the chance to bring his knuckles up to her window and knock, her face appeared behind the glass, wide brown orbs staring back at him with fright. The barrier between them slid open, and before Jim could react, he was already standing in her bedroom, his arms wrapped tightly around her back. She returned his embrace hastily, clawing at his sweater to establish a firm hold on him. Jim didn’t wipe away his tears that brimmed the edges of his lower lids this time. He let them fall shamelessly, his shoulders heaving with each silent sob. Claire didn’t dare let go as the flood of memories filtered into her mind, stabilizing herself in Jim’s tight grip. Together they stood, rocking each other back and forth and stifling quiet sobs, burying their faces into each other’s necks in an attempt to seek comfort.
Minutes later, Jim finally spoke in a strained whisper, “I’m sorry.” He broke away from Claire’s embrace to take her tear-stained cheeks in his hands. “I’m so sorry.”
Claire’s wide eyes stared back at him sadly, her mouth slightly agape and her bottom lip quaking. No words escaped her mouth; all she could do was shake her head no in response.
“I tried to save you,” Jim croaked. “I swear, I tried so hard.”
Claire’s hands found their way to his cheeks, mirroring his movements and wiping his tears away. She brought her head to his abruptly, enclosing her mouth around his with force. He felt her fingers grip the sides of his face tightly, pushing him closer as to gather all that she could of him. Jim did the same, moving his hands to the back of her head to deepen the kiss as much as she would allow it. Their lips pressed against each other in synchronized movements, their breaths uneven and heavy. When they broke apart moments later, Claire shook her head.
“You’ve been trying to save everyone for far too long, Jim,” she whispered. Jim’s eyebrows furrowed deeply in response, his gaze desperate. “—And it’s tearing you apart.”
“No,” he mumbled, shaking his head and squeezing his eyes shut. “I can still find the right timeline. I can still save everyone—“
“Jim. . .” Claire muttered, brushing a few loose strands of hair behind his ear, “it’s time to stop. It’s time to move forward.”
Jim’s hands traveled to her waist as to bring her closer to him. “I can still do this,” he growled, “I can still save everyone.”
“Jim, look at you,” she croaked. “You’re exhausted yet restless. With every reset, you get a little more lost.” Claire’s eyes shined with tears, her expression morphing into one of heartbreak. “Maybe. . .” she struggled, “Maybe there is no saving everyone. Maybe one of us is bound to die.”
“No!” he grunted, shaking his head in defiance. “No, I can do this, Claire, I can—“
“Make me a promise,” she whispered, her voice hoarse. “Promise me that this is the last one. This is the last timeline.”
Jim swallowed hard, bowing his head. “I can still do this,” he murmured, glancing up at her as fresh tears spilled from his dulled eyes.
“Promise me,” she said again, bringing her forehead to his.
He was silent for a long time, his breath hitching with each broken sob. Finally, after minutes, he spoke in a voice so low, Claire could hardly hear it. “I promise,” he choked out, pursing his lips.
She leaned forward to briefly kiss him one more time, his motions slow and strained, as if it pained him to move. Claire pulled away deliberately, keeping her eyes closed and her face close to his.
“Whatever happens,” she began, voice trembling, “know that I have loved you in every life we’ve lived.”
Jim’s hands slid from her waist to the small of her back, where he moved forward to envelope her body in his arms. “Know that I will love you always in this life,” he promised, nuzzling into her tear-stained cheek, “and that I have never loved anyone other than you in all other lives.”
When they pulled away to meet one another’s gaze, they saw memories of every past life flash before them in each other’s eyes. They saw the trauma they shared and felt the emptiness of every loss they’d experienced. In this life, they knew it would be no different—that years from now, they’d be gazing at each other like this again, broken expressions plastered onto their faces as they revisited the memories of a past life. Over who they would be mourning, they couldn’t be sure, but as long as they shared this life together, they knew they could heal together.

How I personally would've had Rise of the Titans go
Spoilers under the cut
Alright so, first of all, Douxie wouldn't have lost the seals at the end of Wizards to begin with
After having Charlie read the ancient draconic, Douxie would've kept Merlin's staff intact and decided to break it ONLY when they needed it as a bargaining chip or something
When Douxie returns to see that all his friends sans Krel have been taken, he works with Krel to build the time loop machine thing and maybe we get some extra scenes of them being cute together
He lures the order to the shop again, but instead of ACTUALLY GIVING THEM THE SEALS he creates an illusion of some sort, maybe something made in conjunction with Akiridion tech so the enchantment lasts longer and the Order doesn't find out what's up, and he tosses that into the time loop instead
The rest of Wizards basically goes as planned with Douxie and Nari going on the run, Claire keeps Merlin's staff as the only other one that can do magic and as a failsafe in case the Order ever realizes they don't have the real seals
ROTT starts fairly similar, the team has divised a trap to stop the order once and for all, the team fails and Nari and Douxie swap again, because Douxie is a self sacrificing bitch that would rather be in danger himself than see his friends get hurt
They all regroup, James panics, Striklake engagement reveal, maybe Barbara asks Claire to be her maid of honor? 👀 And they try to figure out a way to get Douxie back
Aja shows up and like I've seen a bunch of other people saying, the seven kisses thing is an engagement ceremony rather than a baby making thing, Steve and Aja both panic, especially when Steve realizes this makes him king(? Prince consort?) Of Akiridion-5, cue line from Krel about how their planet would be doomed if the blonde oaf ended up ruling alongside his sister
Krel and Aja actually get a moment to catch up since it's been a long time since they've seen each other
They go to save Nari and of course Claire and Douxie are there because neither one of them is going to sit behind and they don't trust leaving the staff on Camelot because they're paranoid and somehow, in their attempt to free Nari, the staff breaks
The real Genesis Seals are revealed for the first time and they escape with Nari and one of the seals (because there's like three seals right? I had no idea why all three were in the same place it would've made more sense to separate them don't you think?)
The other two seals are with the Order and things are not looking good, the gang is panicking and they realize that running from the Order forever isn't going to work and that maybe they're not the best at setting up traps
Instead they outfit Nari with some magical/Akiridion mind-control resistance just to be safe and try their hand at setting up another trap with the anti-magic ray thing
The trap once again fails and this time the Order kinda knows what to expect so they end up with Nari and the remaining seal and are able to unleash the Titans, except this time Nari isn't completely brainwashed and they're able to help her break from the orders control quickly
Varvatos arrives with the Gun Robot and teams up with Nari to defeat Skrael's Titan, leaving just Bellroc to defeat
James realizes what's wrong with the amulet but instead of needing some cryptic message from Nari to tell him how to get the sword out of the stone, he remembers the whole "WE are the Trollhunter" speech he gave back in like S2, and that's how he figures out how to get it free
Everyone gives it their all to help Nari's Titan fight Bellroc's and through sheer force they're successful, but at the cost of Nari herself
However they did hear about the kronosphere or whatever it's called from Nari before she died so they hunt down that to try and figure out what the heck she was talking about
It takes a while but they're able to figure out how to combine Merlin's staff with Akiridion tech and part of the Heartstone because they realized how powerful it was (also symbolism for the characters from the three shows coming together) with the kronosphere and manage to make a device that lets them travel through time
This also triggers the memories of the Trollhunter gang and the 3 Below gang from the Porgon incident and they're all like "Hey! Would you look at that"
Anyways, with the rigged up Kronosphere they're able to go back in time and save people (Draal, Vendel, Nari, Merlin, Morgana,etc) just before it's too late so it doesn't have an effect on the timestream (think like the Lost series from Margaret Peterson Haddix where they pull people from the timestream like right before they're about to die so nothing bad happens to time)
The movie ends with the Stricklake wedding, and Jim and Claire are both like "that's gonna be us one day" and everyone lives happily together as one giant found family
