Something Cute This Way Comes
There’s a tiny troll wedged in the gap between her cupboards and the ceiling in her kitchen. If she had to give him a human age, Barbara would say no older than seven. Frightened glowing eyes watch her, and he’s shaking so hard the wood beneath him rattles. Whatever had happened to Walt on that last mission would require Blinky’s help to fix. 
He’d come home fine last night if reeking of a thousand different things. He’d taken a long shower and grumbled about potions and glass bottles. This morning she had found him a great deal shorter and snacking on her spoons. He’d seen her and promptly shrieked, taking flight and wedging himself in his current spot.
“Hi, Walt,” she called up to him. He didn’t seem to recognize her or the name. “Walter? Strickler?” she tried to no avail. With a heavy sigh, she tried, “Stricklander?”
“Yes?”
“Would you like another spoon?”
--------------------
Tiny Walt was perched on her counter three feet away from her, munching on a fork. Barbara was nearly out of cutlery and figured it was now or never. “Stricklander?”
He looked up at her hopefully. “Yes Mother Morgana?”
Barbara tried hard not to flinch at the name. Since Walt assumed all humans were enemies and or dinner, and things like the fridge were obviously magic, there was only one person Barbara could be in his kind: Morgana. Barbara figured the truth was too difficult to explain at this point.
“How would you like to visit some other trolls?” she tried cheerfully.
Walt curled in on himself instantly. “As you wish, my Lady.”
“Hey, hey, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, my Lady.”
“Don’t lie to me young man,” she said a bit more harshly than she meant and instantly regretted it when the fear returned to his eyes. “Do you want to visit some other trolls?”
“...No.”
“Can you tell me why?” She was met with tense silence. “Please?”
“They are…mean to me.”
“Oh?”
He thought hard. Walt had always said his actual childhood was a bit of a blur thanks to whatever Mrogana did to him. “They…hurt me. They call me Impure, because I am corrupted.” He was on a roll now. “I am not a real troll anymore; I’m fleshy and they don’t like me and they want to eat me! I hate them.”
Barbara nodded sagely. “They sound like real jerks. But these trolls are my friends, and they will give you lots of tasty things to eat.”
Walt perked up. “Like spoons?”
“Better than spoons.”
--------------------------------
Strickler woke up with the feeling the ground used to be a lot closer. He felt rather groggy and disoriented. Blinky, Aaargh, and Barbara were all staring at him quite expectantly. “What are you all…oh. Oh.” He buried his face in his hands. “I never want to see those pictures Barbara.”
“But you were so cute!”
“Never.”

Changeling Trio with human s/o Characters: Otto, Nomura, Strickler Warnings: None, just general fluff
Otto Scaarbach
He is not the smoothest man out there. But he certainly has a charm to him like no other. Maybe its the accent, maybe its the blue eyes, or maybe its just cause you find him cute.
All things considered this German Changeling was certainly lucky to have you come into his life. He wasn't really looking for anyone , it kind of just happened. First you started seeing more of eachother. Then it was that time in the bakery, and before he knew it he had asked you to have lunch with him.
After that things took off on their own. You two spent a lot of time together, outside of his work hours with the Janus Order of course, he tried to hide it from you really. And boy was he good at that.
It would definitely take him a while to become comfortable enough to tell you he is a Changeling. History has not exactly been kind to his species. And he really values you as someone he holds dear, so he is really risking ruining things with this.
But he shows you that he's not human. You stare at him bewildered for a moment, before you get up slowly and take a step forward eyes gleaming with curiosity. You gently but a hand to his cheek while he's in troll form. Its warm and surprisingly smooth. You tenderly massage his cheek in a loving way and you say "Its you, no matter what you look like you are still my Otto"
At that he lets a breath he didn't even know he was holding. He is so relieved that you dont mind thats he's not human. You tell him sure you were surprised but at the end of the day he's still the same persom no matter what form he takes.
At that he picks you up with strength you never knew he had and gives you a gentle kiss while he holds you in his arm. He tells you how much he loves you and how happy he is that you accept him no matter what he is.
Zelda Nomura:
She is a creature that prefers to keep more to herself. If she's in a relationship its open with benefits. And it was almost always with another Changeling.
But when she met you things changed. Suddenly she didn't want things so open. She genuinely found that she wanted to take it slow and get to know you.
You are simple and plan, but you are who you are and that's what draws her in. The fact that you don't care what people think inspired her. Your thick skinned and stick to your morals.
She would see you day after day around Arcadia and one day she just got curious so she decided to take a seat on the park bench just across from you. She wouldn't say anything, she would just observe you. This would go on until, she deiced to approach you. You weren't a changeling, so you were new territory and that intimidated her as much as it excited her.
She started with a hello and the conversation took off from there. She had a spark in her that made you want to listen to what she was saying. It helped that you are both into artifact and relics. You enjoyed African artifacts and she fancied European ones more herself.
She felt safe around you, the two of you could talk about anything. You both had a spot in town where you liked to meet and it became a habit. You had slipped into her life so easily.
One night you invited her over for dinner and she accepted. The evening was going wonderfully until you heard something moving on the roof. She tried to assure you it was nothing but you insisted on going outside to check. The next thing you knew you were being attacked by a small swarm Goblins. She immediately sprung into action shedding her human form and killing them off with her giant blades.
She stood over you fear written in her eyes and you staired up at her mouth agape and eyes bugged out. She turned and ran away. You yelled after her but she was already gone in a flash.
It has been weeks since you had spotted her. She made a good effort to keep away from you after that night. However she got unlucky and one day you were able to catch her, grabbing her wrist before she could turn away. You pleaded for her to talk to you. You said you didn't blame her for what happened and you were happy she was there. You told her you didn't care what she looked like, that all that mattered was who she was. And that to you she was a beautiful person.
In a moment of vulnerability she lets tears slip down her face as you pulled her in for a hug. Relieved that the relationship you two had built wasn't ruined.
Walter Stricklander:
We all know Walt is smooth, so situation of romance more often then not tended to go his way. He could have anyone person he set his sights on.
For some odd reason he choose you. Someone he saw lost in a pile of history books at the Library. Maybe it was the way the sun shone through the window upon you in a poetic sort of way, or maybe it was that you looks so whimsically lost in your readings.
He began to frequent the Library much more often in hopes of getting to see you.
One day, perhaps by accident or perhaps by his careful planning the two of you reached out for the same book hands touching. You shyly offered to let him have the book as you had read that one several times. He mentioned that he had also read it dozens of times.
He offered to have a scholarly conversation with you over the book and it took of from there.
The two of you began to have regular Library dates where one of you would pick up some coffee and the two of you would spend hours talking over the material you both knew by heart.
Slowly overtime your relationship blossomed into something he would want to protects. And try as he might to keep you away from it all sooner or later his other life would catch up with him and he knew this.
So rather than wait for it to randomly happen one day, he made the decision to tell you before you two became more serious with each other
He invited you to tea at his place one day and that is how he would break the news to you, in the comfort of his own home. You could tell shortly after you had been inside that something was off with Walter.
Once he told you everything and then showed you he waited quite anxiously for your reply. You were taken very off guard by his transformation. You got up, excused yourself to the bathroom.
It took you 15 minutes to process this new information and when you came back he had changed back fearing he made you uncomfortable with his troll form.
You sat next to him and gently put a hand on his shoulder. Telling that this would take some getting used to, but that you were in no way uncomfortable by him or by his being a changeling.
To you he was the same old Walt after all, and if you really thought about it having a supernatural boyfriend really was kind of interesting.
He was happy and relived to say the least.

Every day in Janus Orden happen the same things, huh. Maybe Strickler wanted to make a joke out of it and Nomura didn't get it or Walter was a but too light-headed who knows. But I can say for sure that Nomura becomes very short-tempered when the conversation turns to her favorite things. And I respect her for it >:)
Thanks everyone who woted in the poll "which tea Nomura drinks" I couldn't do it without you <3

Oh c’mon you knew I had to.
My version of the Barbie mugshot with stricklake because I just COULD NOT get it out of my head:
Tumblr media
This is specifically from my Trollhunter!Strickler au solely because of the white streak in Barbara’s hair lol and now that I’ve drawn it I am oh so tempted to have it be an actual scene that happens somewhere along the story…
Little snippet of the would-be scene (it's so long it got away from me, I'm sorry):
*the two are rummaging around in a very much broken into museum to find what may or not be a message from Nomura*
Barbara: Walt...?
Walter: Hm? Yes, love?
Barbara: What's that outside?
Walter, pausing for a second to listen: Oh. That would be the em...the police, my dear.
Barbara: Oh, okay, okay, excuse me, the WHAT.
Walter: ...Em. That is, I- um I suggest you hide the skathe-hrün somewhere, lest the authorities care to investigate further into what exactly it is when they take it from your person.
Barbara: So we're not even avoiding this? You know, getting arrested by the police?
Walter: Mmmm, no, unfortunately. I don't want you using the skathe-hrün (or more specifically its magic) anymore than absolutely necessary for today. You've expended yourself enough as it is.
Barbara: And getting arrested for breaking and entering is not an 'absolute necessity'???
Walter: Not particularly, it would only be a considered a second-degree burglary since it is a museum and not a residential, habitated building; which that sub-type of burglary is a 'wobbler' charge in the state of California, which equates—if it is persecuted as a misdemanor rather than a felony—to merely (at most) a year in county jail—
Barbara: A year?!
Walter: —and 1,000 dollar fine if, that is, we are found guilty by being proven to have harbored the intent to steal something, of which we did not and do not have evident by the fact neither of us pocess any given tools to break or take any item from its case. I assume this is the first time you have been accused of any given crime aside from speeding or any other driving-related violation? Without evidence of a previous criminal record we should be lined up quite well to be merely fined or, if NotEnrique can manage it (if I can bear to call upon endless embarassment and taunting), nothing at all but a slap on the wrist though I doubt we could not accomplish that on our own given our positions in the community as school teacher and doctor respectively.
Barbara: You have wings, Walt.
Walter: And mothman escaping a building with a strangely human-shaped figure in its arms is not at all a cause for alarm to the police who will no doubt be keeping close watch of all exits and entrances which would also draw unneeded attention before we can reach the proper cover of the clouds.
Barbara: *face-palms* Getting arrested. How wonderful. 'Oh, just breaking and entering, officer, not much.'
Walter: It is hardly as terrible as it sounds, really. We can omit the 'breaking' portion since we snuck in through the window without running into any trouble that would damage it. Frankly, we could go the route of claiming guilty to the crime of trespassing according to the Penal Code 602 (California's trespassing law) being that we entered the exhibit past museum hours. On top of which it is far more accurate to what we're doing in actuality, not proper burglary since we have established neither of us had the intent to run off with anything that was not ours. Doing so we would also fare far better than with a so-called 'breaking and entering' offense (such a named law does not actually exist in California, only burglary and trespassing separately but I will clasify it as the burglary law for sake of consistency) in which we would be recieving just a simple fine rather than possible felony charges that could come with a second-degree burglary we may have committed.
Barbara: Not really helping here, Walt.
Tumblr media
Walter: Right, apologies-
Barbara: Which, of course, getting arrested is an experience you obviously know about.
Walter: The (pun intended) offense aimed against me is dully noted. However, my dear, the fact I know how the intricacies of the specific laws of California operate does not entail I have been arrested prior to this. That would be Nomura who holds the experience in that particular department.
*pause*
Barbara: Walt. Don't you dare. You stop it right there. Unless you want--
Walt: The police department. Heh. *guilty snort*
Barbara: *sends him the disappointed death glare*
Police: *break through the door* Hands up! On the ground, now!
Walter: *laying down* I hardly find my pun to have been that egregious.
Barbara, already on the floor: Really, Walt? Good puns involve good TIMING too.
Police: Dispatch, we have the two culprits in question now in our custody. *taking a pair of cuffs out* You're coming with us. You have the right to remain silent.
Walter, being actively handcuffed: Well, I suppose then, now would be the less than appropriate time to say this museum has gained quite the em...standing in the Lake family...?
Barbara, being stood up with her arms behind her back: Officers, I have no idea who this man is.
Walter: I never once said I intended to make good puns.
I made this entirely too long but once it started I couldn't really find myself stopping. Whoops. Hope you enjoyed chaotic Walt not caring about being arrested because jail is honestly the least of his problems rn. It would honestly be a break.

Hi Pinky
What is your headcanons for Jim and Claire and Strickler and Barbara Relationships
Okay, so for Jlaire I headcanon that:
Claire is the assertive one in the relationship, she's also usually the one to organise holidays and remind Jim of stuff they've planned.
I think Jim will try and cook for Claire ALL THE TIME. Claire can cook too, and she tells him they can delegate cooking. Somehow Jim finds a way to always make her something to eat everyday regardless.
When Jim's a troll, Claire starts developing a way to create shadows with her magic strong enough for her and Jim to still have dates in the daylight without him being burnt.
Claire and Jim are both very cuddly with one another, but Jim is more of an introvert and Claire's a extrovert. Sometimes that means Jim would prefer to stay in or train at the forge rather than hang out with Claire's friends or go out.
Jim and Claire have regular movie nights, often Jim falls asleep halfway through being always so tired. She doesn't mind. (totally inspired by a drawing of @bluheaven-adw!)
I probably have more headcanons for Stricklake, but I'll keep it to five for now:
Despite Strickler being so overly confident about everything, when it comes to relationships he's a mess. He's insecure, nervous and fidgety because as a changeling he has no idea what a real relationship even is. Barbara is gentle and patient with him though, and slowly he gains confidence.
Barbara loves him equally in both forms, even though Strickler was scared out of his mind of being rejected for being a changeling. She actually greatly prefers his troll form because she's a shameless monster lover.
It takes a long while after the Angor Rot debacle and the binding spell for Barbara to be able to trust Walter again. She forgives him, but doesn't forget, and when they start their relationship again, it's a clean slate, Walt gets one last chance, so he better not mess it up.
Strickler is touch starved. He can go from desperately needing affection, to not even being able to stand a slight touch. It fluctuates, and Barbara accepts that much like a half feral cat, she must be considerate and let Strickler come to her when he's ready.
Walter is very insecure about his troll form. He always lived most of his life human, and he's aware he looks odd by human and troll standards. Barbara is quick to say otherwise and is very attentive to say how beautiful Strickler is, she means it too. (no, what do you mean Strickler has a praise kink? He doesn't. Not a big one anyway).

So...
I COULDN’T STOP!
I did it again-
Tumblr media
Yeah yeah...
You get Stricklake fluff.
Strickler loves to cuddle and nuzzle with his wife just like that or when she had a bad day at work. He obviously comforts her as much as je can.
HEADCANON. I think that Walter can drive a motorcycle. I don't know why, he just can because I say so. It's canon now. And yes, they have matching Jackets (and hairbands), in the "main color" of each other.
And they work out. Walt shows Barb how to properly defend and fight for herself. (And yes...she has streche-marks abd Strickler loves them)
AND WHATNIS THAT?! Strickler and Barbara hairstyles?! Ofc.
Love my boy and girl.
Anyways-
Closeups:

“I have something that might help,” Walt said and pulled something out of his coat pocket. He revealed a gray stone ring. “This is the Inferna Copula."

Strickler and Bular genuinely do have the most interesting dynamic to me. Both fit the vibe of "second in command trying to the boss's favorite" and actively fight each other for that role.
They both have an equal level of power over the other, just on slightly different scales.
Bular is Gunmar's son and is physically stronger than Strickler. He could, if desired, crush Strickler without second thought. He's also smarter than one might guess at first glance. I mean, he can count up to at least 2; he's no bumbling oaf.
And yet, Strickler treats him like he is. He openly and actively antagonizes Bular in almost every scene they're in together, even to the point of not only talking over Bular, but insulting him IN FRONT OF GUNMAR. The very first episode, Strickler comes off as the "mastermind secretly calling the shots from the sidelines" type of antag with Bular as his incompetent, brute of a sidekick. Obviously that's not the case but it gives off that kinda general vibe from just their first scene.
Gunmar clearly loves his son, he wants him around, but he needs Strickler and Strickler knows this. He knows that no matter how much Bular wants to strangle him, he can't and won't. Bular doesn't care for or react to any of Strickler's petty insults, but he doesn't stop him either. The last thing Bular would ever want to do is upset his father by taking Strickler out or risk anything happening to their progress on Killahead by losing a changeling higher up.
Strickler is just that important.
Or so he thought.
By S1E10 Young Atlas, the bridge is complete, save for needing the amulet and, while Gunmar very clearly isn't putting up with either of their bs, clearly he has a favorite. Anf it aint Strickler. It was a humbling episode for him and harsh reminder that he's no longer infallible - something Bular, Nomura and Fragwa all take delight in.
I would love to see their dynamic if they were around when Gunmar was freed. Just the thought of Strickler constantly trying to suck up to Gunmar while Bular smugly watches him fail to gain what he thought was his spot as Gunmar's number one guy is funny to me. Especially given that he'd also be fighting against not just Bular, but Dictacious, Usurna and probably even Otto and Nomura for it.
