Pushing my headcanon that Toby learned Trollish from Arrrgh while the other two were away, and since Arrrgh is a Gumm-Gumm Toby picked up that dialect/accent and tends to use terms like impure without realizing

(trollish translation down there 👇 )

Claire: I am suspicious of her

Jim: me too

Toby: I think she is an impure

Translation for the last bit is in the image

apollo was an anxious and people pleasing child who assumed his love language of openly sharing interests and knowledge and learning from each other was universal among the gods instead of incredibly rare and it caused him an endless amount of grief

apollo was literally just trying to bond in the only way he knew how and zeus was perceiving his behavior as incredibly antagonistic and threatening

little apollo: :( :( :( maybe I'm not picking things up fast enough. father must be so annoyed by my incompetence and slowness :( :( I surely need to get better!

zeus, looking at this genius child who's already on his sixth(!!!????) domain: he is not out to get me he is Not out to get me I'm just imagining things he is NOT out to get me

[lightfin]

Bonus!!!

I have a feeling the inner child in Jim was imagining this specifically when he mentioned ‘A life of something more.’

I mean, who wouldn’t imagine themselves flying on dragons when there riding there bike, I know I do!

You ever think Apollo ever accidentally mistook Connor for Hermes in the few short times he's been in camp during ToA?

Oh yeah, lets make that mother fucker miss people other than Artemis and his lovers

Concept: In The Burning Maze, I think it would have been cool if one of the crossword puzzles in the labyrinth had been a mathematical equation.

Specifically, a mathematical equation on mathematical logic, such as negations.

Why? Because Apollo is the god of mathematics and I think it would be funny if Grover and Meg were standing there, staring with horror at:

~(~(p^q))

"What is this nonsense?" Asks Meg, a literal sixth grader who has never before encountered college-level math.

"I...I don't know!" Responds Grover, anxiously wringing his hands. He also has never come across something like this before. "I never went to high school!"

"Is it code for something?"

"The little carrot there looks kinda like a Greek Delta- is Daedalus related somehow?"

"A carrot-what?"

"The carrot!" Grover points at the symbol between the 'p' and 'q'. "It looks like the Delta symbol!"

"Oooh. Okay."

The sentence below the odd thing reads;

Solve my riddle,

Or play second fiddle,

You can find me in education,

For I am the ________!

"...What does that mean?" Grover whimpers.

Meg looks stumped.

"...negation," Apollo's staring at the strange equation. "'Solve my riddle, or play second fiddle. You can find me in education, for I am the negation!'. That's the missing word in the rhyme."

They stare at him. "How do you know that?" Grover bewilderedly asks. "It makes no sense!"

"Math logic," Apollo simply says. "This particular one is...about first, second-year level in college, I'd say."

Grover closes his eyes, muttering; "No wonder I couldn't solve it." as Meg stares first at the equation, then at Apollo.

"What even is a negation?"

"That," Apollo points to the squiggly lines. "It cancels the truth values out, giving you the opposite of what's inside the parathesis."

"...What?"

Apollo huffs. "The 'p' and 'q' both represent something, like two parts of a sentence. The carrot can be upside-down or right-side-up, representing 'or' or 'and' in that sentence."

"Which way is up when?" Grover looked to be on the verge of tears as the realization math did not, in fact, end with numbers or numbers and letters.

"Uh..." Apollo made a 'V' with his hands. "If it's like this, it's 'or'. If it's like this," he made a tiny pyramid with his hands. "It's 'and'. Imagine a line through the center, like an 'A'. That's 'and'."

Grover rubbed at his eyes. "Too much," he whimpered. "Too much."

Apollo gave him an awkward pat on the shoulder. "In this case," he said. "It's saying 'and'. The negation, well, negates their values, so it becomes-" he pats his pants and looks in his pockets. "Anyone have a pen and paper...?"

Blank looks met his. "Okay, then...then just imagine a squiggly line in front of the 'p' and 'q'. That's what the first negation does. Then the second one negates that negation, taking the squiggly lines away."

Breathing in, he finished with; "So our mathematical answer would be, 'p and q', written with the carrot right-side-up- like the 'A'."

The tunnel was silent.

Then it was broken. "How do you know all that?" Meg demanded, looking extremely confused. "That makes no sense. I thought there were numbers."

"There are," Apollo patiently explained. "But this is a logic problem, and they don't do numbers."

"Never before have I been grateful to not to have to go to college," Grover rubbed at his temples. "Algebra was bad enough. Now this?"

"Hey!" Apollo looked slightly offended. "It's all quite fun, really, when you figure it out! Besides, we didn't even have to solve it!"

"Then why did you?" Meg asked.

Apollo stared at her. "Because you asked me too-!"

"Nope." She blew a raspberry. "None of us did."

He closed his eyes, as if praying for mercy.

"Anyway," Apollo gave both of them the stink-eye. "Math and music were quite intertwined back in the day, so the Muses and I are quite adept at it- Thalia's the geometry queen, and whatever you do, do not say 'Bet you can't solve this in a minute' to Urania. She will make you look stupid."

"Bet that's not hard."

"Oh, shut up."

insert cackle from Meg

"ANYWAY," Apollo gives her the stink-eye. "Ancient Greece was a breeding ground for mathematical minds- Pythagoras, for one, who was my son to boot! Even Hestia enjoys looking over Hephaestus's construction equations in her spare time."

The other two stared at him, as if shocked the gods would find math, of all things, fun.

Apollo awkwardly glanced away from them. He didn't know what their reactions would be if he told them of the many contributions he has made to the world of mathematics. For some reason, silly mortals didn't seem to appreciate the hard work put into them!

Sighing, he said; "Uh, Labyrinth, the answer is 'negation'. We got side-tracked there for a bit."

One hallway in front of them glowed with the answer. Without another word, they quickly speed-walked down the passage-way.

I have a bit of a headcanon

So we all know the Armor of Daylight and Eclipse

Seen them, lived them, loved them

And we also know about the amulet’s adaptability that allows Trollhunters to combat darkness in ways they can’t predict

So I thought it be cool if maybe during the Jersey Trip the amulet upgrades and adapts to Jim’s transformation

Resulting in a new(ish) armor

Which TOA characters do you headcanon/wash as queer?

Better question would be who don't I do that to lol

So I'm just going to give you a bunch of headcanons

Jim is definitely one of the characters I have a lot of headcanons for. He's bi in my mind and I like to add him being trans every now and then.

Claire feels pan to me I will not elaborate. I also love a t4t Jlaire

Toby is pan in my mind

Mary is queer, she hasn't put a label on it but I feel like gender doesn't matter to her

Darci I'm not completely sure on once I write her chapter I think I'll figure out all my headcanons for her

Steve is pan with some internalized homophobia that he's been working through

Eli is gay but he hasn't quite realized it yet

Aja is pan

Krel is aroace because he reminds me of my younger brother who is aroace

Blinky and Aaarrrgghh are gay

Barbara and Strickler are bi4bi and maybe t4t. idk why but I really like the idea of Barbara being trans fem, this also interestingly would make Jims dad ftm, we get ftm absentee Dad

Thats it for most of my headcanons I may add to this post though

Headcanon

Apollo kids can hit really high notes like they can scare off monsters with just their yells. Like you gotta pity the mortal parents of those kids having to deal with their tantrums cause damn they could with how high pitched they go.
