Don’t get me wrong, I love Toby so much. But I literally don’t think he could be the trollhunter.

Cause Strickler only turned good because of BARBARA. And he only met her because Jim was the trollhunter, he only pursued her at first to upset Jim.

Jim survived the darklands because he had formed genuine connections with Nomura and Strickler that I don’t think Toby could.

Love Toby but he’s a bit awkward and sometimes he says some crazy shit.

Also I don’t think he would be responsible with it—? Like he was literally telling Claire that Jim found a magic amulet and they WERENT EVEN FRIENDS. Toby could not lock tf in for his life in the early days.

That’s why my headcanon is that the amulet was like “Toby Domzalski… take me to Jim that bitch thought he could get out of this.” Jim and the amulet are a bitter married couple.

Also they kinda did this in like season two, Jim wishes he wasn’t the trollhunter and DRAAL can’t even stop Gunmar.

Toby is cooked I’m so sorry. Love you Toby but you cannot lock tf in.

Krel holding olive oil: What the kleb is an extra virgin i know what a virgin is but what’s an extra virgin? Like a nun? Like Eli?

Douxie: Krel…

———

Jim: Ok we need to find the peppers if we want an acutely spicy salsa- steve put the ground pepper down

———

Toby: It’s always fun when we go shopping together because I get free entertainment like this

Camera pans to look at Douxie and Eli*

Eli: Is it true that Benjamin Franklin was a woman?

Douxie: Sigh* Are you going to help me listen to the watermelon or not?

———

Claire: Wait where’s steve?

Toby: He’s still trying to get all the free samples he should be able to find us as long as Eli’s here.

Claire: Oh ok… Wait where’s Eli?

———

Aja: And this one is a lemon!

Krel: That’s actually a grape fruit you can tell because it’s painted to be pink with an orange rind and also it’s larger than the lime. Grape fruit is also known to help with digestive issues despite being commonly agreed to be the most disgusting of the citrus. Which circles round to the idea that the more poison is in food the more likely a human is to eat it. This is also displayed through the foods known as chocolate and peppermint both of which are known to be poisonous amongst most earthly animals meanwhile humans eat it for its taste.

Aja: Watch this he’s just gonna keep going

Krel: Still talking about food*

Jim: I need to get this guy to write my college thesis

Uhh this might just be late night weird thoughts but uh after the timeline resets Toby isn't a very successful trollhunter, he keep failing and nearly dying, he can feel the amulet pulling away from him and calling to another person (Jim). Because Toby was never supposed to be the trollhunter its was always ment to be Jim

Something about the horror of being forced into a position and to hold on to a mantle that was never yours to have. Also leaning into the cursed artifact parts of the amulet

Douxie as a child: I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures! Douxie now: I can’t wait to go to bed.

Claire: *standing at the top of the stairs* What are y'all doing at the bottom of the staircase? Steve: I accidentally fell down. Zoe: ARCHIE PUSHED ME down the stairs because I refuse to pay THEIR part of our rent! Krel: Steve bet me fifty bucks that I couldn't reach the bottom of the stairs faster than they did falling down it, so I slide down the banister to get my money. Douxie: I don't know how I got here. One moment, I was sleeping in my bed, three floors up, and then suddenly I was waking up here, just in time to get crushed by Krel.

Jim did something reckless and Blinky got so mad the English language wasn’t enough. Jim is confused and concerned.

English translation of the trollish because I won’t make you do all that:

By Deya’s grace you could have been killed! Of all the stupid, reckless, irresponsible things to do! Don’t you ever run off like that again!  Actually you’re grounded! I’m not letting you out of my sight!  You are in so much trouble I can’t even-
