A fun scribble of what Claire and Toby may look like if they joined Jim as half-trolls. The design for Toby is based on a wonderful Jlairby Fic by @darkinufan

Check out Fire Agate if you’d like a better understanding of the group dynamic!

Hello, Yellow! Hope you're doing well! For the ask game, 💜💍⭐️???

Aww, thank you. I hope you and your loved ones are happy and safe.

💜- top 3 favorite lines

Gunmar wouldn’t care about music and pottery and five-year-old half-trolls who cried because they weren’t weapons, no matter how much anyone said they were.

From The Doctor, the Changeling, and their Super-Soldier Son, this really helps to sum up Nomura’s character: she’s selfish. She doesn’t care about humanity, especially not as a whole, but she does care about art and J-1M. And she won’t let anyone hurt Jim, not anymore. (And, like, she might kill for art as well, but J-1M is > art, and eventually Barbara is also > art)

The plaque indicated that everything Jim had ever known was a well-constructed lie, now crumbling away like brittle stone.

I remember being proud of this metaphor from Supplanter.

While Toby and Jim still had the same eyes, Claire's were that same black-and-purple that Toby would see in nightmares where Claire hadn't survived the portal.

Normally I just give Claire Shadow Staff-related trauma, but in And We Go, Hand in Four-Fingered Hand I decided to add in the idea that Toby and Jim also have some trauma from the ultimate portal. This is either romantic (since Jlaireby) or me torturing them, and I’m not entirely sure which. Maybe it’s both.

💍- your most underrated story

The Shadows Inside Me I may have gone onto my AO3 and then sorted by comments, then picked the one with the lowest that I still think people should have liked based solely on the tropes involved

⭐️- how do you get your inspiration?

...I wish I knew.

“We only have to make it until sunrise, which is… 7 hours away” with Toby and Jim

*I’m unsure whether you wanted this to be a shipping thing or a platonic thing, so it can be interpreted as both.

.

“Blinky is going to kill us.  Do you hear me, Tobes?  He’s going to kill us.  We’re in so much trouble.  All because of some dumb rocks.”  Jim paces around the tree they’ve taken refuge beside.  His claws dig into the dirt, but his feet automatically kick up to wipe away his tracks.  It’s not something he has to think about doing, not after years of habit and hiding.

“I can see you’re stressed, so I’m not going to take offense to that.”  Toby puts his sack of precious stones aside.  Sure, none of them are rare gemstones, but all of them have significant value.  Cut the lovelies they’d spent the night collecting just right and the most epic of magics would be unlocked.  As long as you have the right stonecutter for the job, which Toby most certainly is.  

That is, if he and Jim survive the day, and get their haul home to Trollmarket.

“Look, we only have to make it until sunfall, which is…”  Toby squints to see the through the thick cover of the trees.  His eyesight is poorer aboveground than it is under, and its daytime.  He feels the oncoming headache a second after he tries to see the sun.  It just goes to show what happens to trolls who attempt to traverse the surface when the moon doesn’t lord over the skies.  Toby refrains from grumbling to himself, since that will only serve to agitate Jim further.  “…7 hours away.”

Jim plops himself down in a dip between two of the tree’s thickest roots and leans against its trunk.  “It could be less than that.  We can’t really see the sky from here, so maybe the sun’s farther along then…” He stops when he sees Toby’s expression.  “Never mind.”

Toby sits down in front of Jim, since there’s no room on either side of him due to the tree roots.  “Sorry I dragged you along.”

“Like I’d ever let you go to the old mines alone when you have to come to the surface to get to them.”  Jim snorts.  “I care about you more than anything, Tobes.  I’d never leave you hanging like that.”

“So he will risk the wrath of one Blinkous Galadrigal, Elder of all Heartstone Trollmarket, for little ole me, aw shucks.”  Toby pretends to be embarrassed.

“Stop you.”  Jim playfully swats at him.  Toby swats back.  They’re about to play tussle when they hear

Snap!  Snap!  Snap!

Twigs crack under footsteps, many of them.

Both trolls freeze.  They hear the voices.  The chanting.  The eager voices of just over a dozen determined little girls.

“Alright, girls!”  The Scout Leader calls out.  “To earn your Nature Explorers Badge, we’re going to be spending all day in these woods, going over every single inch of them.  Leave no stone unturned.  You never know what amazing critters you may find, and, of course, want to take a photo of.  So, be sure to keep your phone cameras out.  Now, make sure to stick with your partners and get exploring!”

Toby looks at Jim.  Jim gulps, and looks back at Toby.

There are tales back home of the Arcadia Girl Scouts.  Dreadful tales.  Full of giggling, human younglings.  Ones capable of squeezing into places where the adults cannot.  Ones who are unafraid of a warning growl from a bush.  Ones who are curious and adventurous and do not, under any circumstances, give up.

It’s going to be a long day.  A really, really long day.

Maybe A Troll Toby???

yOUR CALLS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED

[autumnalfallingleaves]

Sorry this took so long, anon! I was actually pretty stymied on a potential design and put off working on it for a bit to let design ideas simmer in my mind. Though I don’t think something like this would happen in the new timeline, thanks to Jim actively working against it, it’s a cool opportunity to do some design work. 

Since I’m basing Toby’s Troll design off of the Krubera, I’d like to think a more beastly form would be similar to them. I also took inspiration from Jim’s canon beast form in that he’s more Trollish, but in a monstrous way. (He’s also got a tail but it’s pretty stubby so I couldn’t work it in here)
