Here’s a request for you!
Ask: You want more requests! I give you a request (which you can tailor to for your style, I’m not picky cos I know you have talent!!!) So we know trolls that can fight, and Jim&co. are getting changeling allies that can fight. So how about interactions with a human who can fight? Basically interactions with a human!(fem!)reader adult (or headcanons in general) who stumbles upon the weirdness later on and just goes ‘my god that is a 16 year old and his 15 year old friends fighting troll monsters and nearly dying all the time... imma gonna help!’. (Don’t mind what time they come in). Cos I actually know my way round a fight and by jove I want an adult human to just point the children in a ‘how about we try this style?’ So each one doesn’t get seriously hurt or concussed. Especially with the Forge the lava death trap it is... Maybe a retired army personel (or a retired vigilant/ something) moving to Arcadia? How would the trolls react (namely Blinky as if someone steps in he’d start feeling overshadowed I’m sure)? The humans? (Sorry this got long... I have a lot of feelings.) ((Love the blog btw!!!! Your work is AMAZING!!!!!!))

Ahhh thankyou so much! Very kind words very awesome ask! Sorry this took so long >w< !!!!
~ You come to Arcadia wanting a new start. A new life. Years of being deployed left you tired and a little hollow. Being a vigilante whenever you visited your family helped to ease your pain as you saw the good and bad in people but you didn't want that anymore. It was to tiring...
~ Settling in your big house with a retired K9 unit you smile at peace with your life. You had a big garden in your back yard, all the guns and weapons you'd ever need, huge gaming system, and a library and an art studio inside your house. You also had some of the best healthcare available thanks to your service and your college debt along with all your loans are paid off.
~ Settling down one night staring at the stars your faithful dog rests on your lap. You hum and close your eyes about to drift off when you hear a loud THUD. Jolting up you and your dog get ready. You grab a nearby handgun and get ready to shoot as you point it into your yard.
~ Your deck lights are weak. The light barley reaches a couple meters past the steps. Straining your eyes and peering into the darkness two gold and red eyes stare back. Not hesitating you fire twice. Hearing a roar you look up and the eyes along with the huge lurking figure who owned them were gone...
~ You realize pretty quickly somethings wrong with Arcadia. Some type of raccoon had been stealing your trash. Stoking it out one night you watch as little green things eat all your trash and leave your yard a mess. That's when you know some weird shits going on.
~ Putting your suit back on ready to fight this dark secret side of the town you bump into the kids. At first they panic seeing you but when you don't question anything they fall silent. About to leave thinking that their just kids messing around you see that big troll again. Turning you pull out your gun and without hesitation begin shooting. The troll as you later come to know stumbles back. You throw a flash generade and grabbing the children force them to run before your safe at least a mile or two away.
~ You stare at the kids wanting answers and they stare back wanting the same. Shifting your mask you breath in shaking. You were to old for this shit...
"What the hell are you kids doing up at 4:00 a.m on a school night and what the fuck was that thing?"
They flinch at your language and you sign softly. This wasn't the military or the army or a war zone. These weren't soldiers. These were kids.
"Please someone tell me what's going on. I only want to help." You say softly.
~ The kids uneasy but deciding your trust worthy follow you to your house. You lock up tight after they come in and grabbing some snacks you all sit down at your tabel and talk. You learn their stories and taking off your mask fully they learn some of yours.
~ You become a teacher and a guide to these kids. You make sure they eat, sleep, don't work themsleves to hard, and focus on school just as much as their trollhunting duties. They become healthier all around and you teach them tricks for hiding their second life's better. You become a counselor and a friend as well as a valuable teacher with medical training. When they think your ready and have known you for awhile your brought to Trollmarket and introduced to Vendel.
~ Vendel is not excited about another human in Trollmarket. However he is surprised at how scarred you are and recognize you are a warrior of your kind. He also sees the difference you've made in a few simple weeks to these kids and how much they car for and trust you. He allows you to come and go as you please.
~ Blinky becomes a but miffed at your arrival. The kids never told him about you and yet here you were. They'd never kept secrets from him! It just didn't feel right to him. He grumbles grumpy and ignores your suggestions and advice. In turn you ignore him and continue to train the kids because you promised you would. Jims never been better at the Forge since hes being taught by a human one who understands the body and how it works.
~ Claire comes to trust you more and you become her army aunt as you call it. You help her with homework and theater and you listen to her when she needs it. You teach her self defense and give her small weapons that'll go unnoticed just incase she needs them. She becomes a lot healthier mentally and thanks you every time you help her. Your just glad she feels better and try to be there for her.
~ Toby doenst have his parents around anymore and because of this he clings to you once he gets to know you. Your just so fucking cool!!! You come to his school once to pick the kids up and one look at you and his bullies leave him alone. You comfort him about his physique and tell him he doenst need diet plans or to be skinny to be handsome. You two begin jogging together in the mornings to calm him and he starts loosing his bad fat while gaining good fat and strong muscle.
~ Meanwhile Jim is just glad there's a human adult around. He loves Blinky Arrrgh Vendel and Draal but they just don't understand what it's like to be human and how hard it is to be a teen as a human. You make sure to be a shoulder he can lean on and do your best to make sure no one pushes him too far. You remind him of his mom and having you around is a comfort he never knew he needed.
~ The troll gang loves your dog as well! K9 is the most well behaved service dog ever and he knows when the kids need a pick me up. Very good for hugging when your sad and laying on your lap when you need a friend. He's also insanely protective and any trolls he doenst like he'll bark at until they walk away.
~ So even though Blinkies a little bitter at you sharing his job and K9 still barks at large scary trolls and growls when they get to close you've all become a mix matched sort of family. And you all keep each other happy safe and healthy.
