This is not a lore post
It’s actually FUN FACTS
also known as random shit I came up with and I’m like “ooooo headcanon” but then I remember this is my AU so wouldn’t it be “canon” to the AU?
Yeah anyway facts/headcanons
Toby's "Disney Channel Best Friend" Hair
What's better than Alt Toby + TobyVision?
Alt Toby + TobyVision multiplied by Lack of Sanity = New Hair Dye Every Season!
Basically Toby's hair is a different color every season or so, and it'll be like a running gag (and occasionally an insight to his character)
In season 1, Toby has, like, dark hair with his ginger roots showing. He keeps saying he's going to dye in back but they never get time with all the trollhunting responsibilities.
In season 2, Toby's dye has really grown out to the point where its just the bottom part of his hair that's dark (like in the drawing I made recently). He's too miserable from the finale of season 1 to even take care of himself let alone dye his hair back.
However, after Jim comes back from the darklands and AARRRGHH comes back to life (basically the midpoint of season 2) Toby wants to dye his hair again. Jim's all like "Tobes I could do it for you! It'll be just like old times :D" because fun fact segue, Jim pierced Toby's ears with a fork when they were 14, and Jim seems to think that's the same amount of difficulty as dying hair. Jim just wants to go back to the times where he was Toby's helicopter friend. Meanwhile, Toby is like "actually Claire said she'd do it for me instead." Jim is very upset about it. He keeps it to himself. Anyway Toby ends up with blue streaks in his hair ("I got some blue going on") courtesy of Claire.
In season 3, Toby bleaches his hair. Yeah. It was a choice. It's also bleached for the first season of 3Below.
For season 2 of 3Below and for Wizards, Toby has black hair. Like, full black hair. Not dark with ginger roots like season 1 of trollhunters, FULL BLACK.
And for the movie Toby's hair is in its natural state: ginger.
Toby's Chronic Pain
Bleeding from the eyes every other day hurts like HELL
By season 2 of 3Below, Toby has extremely sensitive eyes. He needs to wear blue light glasses for when he uses devices, blinks a lot more often than most people, and gets eyestrain very easily.
He can't be near bright colors or lights, which means no movie theaters, no glow in the dark arcades or mini golf places, no laser tag, etc. It's why he hires Eli to do the editing for the DJ Kleb movie. Toby would love to do it himself but he can't stare at the screen or flash effects for too long.
It makes Darci a bit sad that a lot of their favorite date spots are no longer accessible to go to, but she'd rather die than make Toby feel guilty about it. They watch movies at home with zero surround sound and low brightness on an iPad and Toby wears his blue light glasses and they have a jolly time because Darci is a FIEND for Toby in glasses.
Eventually, Krel makes a visor for Toby to wear with his armor helmet that can block out bright colors and lights, that way Toby doesn't have to constantly look the other way when fighting. It's very helpful for the fight against Morando, who was basically a giant glowstick.
He also has that constant feeling that he slept on his neck wrong, and if he turns his head around too fast it is a SHARP PAIN!!
I'll be back with more tidbits one day
