❝Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon our shoulders is actually a sense of purpose lifting us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor of valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don't think. Become.❞

"Trollhunter... Tell me something." Skrael's voice lilts across the space between them. "Why did Myrddin choose a child to fight?"

@nrth-wind || unprompted asks (always accepting)

"That's a question I don't have the answer to and I always ask myself why. Why me?" Jim trailed off, sighing in confusion. A soft frown plastered across his face, "When you say Myrddin, you mean Merlin, right?" He asked to make sure, looking over to Skrael. He wasn't afraid of Skrael at all.

jiki growls, aiming at the beast to strike him with an arrow as he continued to follow after jim.

"i promise i'll explain once this thing is down!" he shouts, nocking another arrow. he's a little rusty on the aim, but something about the stones make his aim truer. the beast howls as the arrow makes contact.

[trcllhuntcr]

Jim looked rather panicked, still running. "You better!" He shouted at Jiki, his tone sounding rather stern and yet worried. Is there anything he can do to help Jiki? Anything?

[capsulect]

He's trying his best

[capsulect]

You and me, we're not the same...

This song made me think about how things played out....and how Jim blamed himself for everything.

[capsulect]

Okay...so if ROTT created a time loop where toby and Jim trade off on the amulet, then....this must also happen within Toby's timeline...

[capsulect]

I've got you brother

[capsulect]

Jim tries to save Toby, one last time.

[mdoodlerfandomart]

@bluheaven-adw your post reminded me of an idea I had of one of the ways Jim could be revealed to Toby in the new timeline.

Blinky and Vendel get to Toby and manage to sway his opinion on changelings despite Jim's best efforts to get his friend to keep an open mind about them. Toby leans more towards the idea of extinguishing Morgana's creatures from this world while Jim defends the beings, reminding himself that Toby doesn't know that they have friends/allies that are changelings.

Eventually the dispute grows until Toby is accusing Jim of being one of the evil beings, a spy, his enemy, because why else would his best friend be so adamant about sparing something that Blinky and Vendel insist are irredeemable creatures?

In his anger and frustration, Toby takes a swing at Jim.

Rather than dodge or block, Jim surprises everyone by summoning Daylight to his own hands and throwing Toby to the ground, sword held out in warning.

Jim knows he can't hide any longer, not without risking the timeline.

Drawing request. Seeing the teachers reaction to Troll Jim i kinda want to see Jim's classmates (Mary, Darci, Seamus, etc) react to either his troll or beast form

Did a cute Darci and Jim.

Along with a Bonus of Mary & Clair

I think Mary would be a bit more surprise than Darci 😂😂

“You’re not just my protector, Draal. You’re my friend.”

Jim yelped in surprise, already behind the troll. He looks genuinely frightened and yet surprised at how quick the beast is charging at them. "R-right...!" He then started running, his eyes soon looking back to Jiki. He's worried about Jiki...and yet Jiki wants him to keep running. Wait, what's Jiki doing?

[trollamulet]

he growls, deep and low in his chest. he needs the defense of his amulet, and finally it's left him no option. he needs something more than a knife against this thing, and the distance of moonlight's bow and arrows.

once he knows that jim is behind him, a good distance away from him... he brings his mouth close to the amulet. "for the hope of all, daylight is mine to command." he murmurs, low enough that human ears shouldn't catch the incantation. it's too soon to reveal who he truly is, but he will in time. "oh, jim, i promise... i'll tell you everything soon." he murmurs to himself as the amulet lights up.

and oh - the relief of being graced with armour again, the familiar undergarment still the same as daylight's - tight and replacing any other clothing. the glow isn't the same - it's streaks of light in the darkness, still bright, but daylight's armour is brighter.

the bow and its quiver materialize quickly and jiki draws one, running to catch up with his younger self.

[trcllhuntcr]

“What the—!” Jim exclaims in shock, seeming genuinely surprised. “Jiki? What—what is—?!” He’s still running. “Jiki! You have a lot to explain, do you hear me?” He snapped, sounding quite firm and a bit surprised.

[trollamulet]

and now i see the sun is rising; long was the night but you know we've been dreaming

jim/jiki & jim as beloved by icarus & ollie.

Jimtober Day 1: Team Up!!

@dearest-sparksandstars

[trollamulet]

@trcllhuntcr - continued from ask

"Wait, what? What are you doing, Jiki?" Jim exclaims worriedly, frowning a bit in worry. Should he take Jiki's advice? He can feel his heart pounding, seeming torn on listening to Jiki or staying put to help Jiki. "I'm not leaving you behind!" He huffed out anxiously, refusing to move.

the beast snarls. it's onto both of them, tracking their scents. its head whipping back and forth as it lurches forward. the troll gets the human behind him, the bright glow of the amulet giving jim away, but there's something jiki could do.

"seriously, run, fleshbag!" he says it sharply, absentmindedly - fleshbag has kind of taken a bit of a nickname for his younger self, but right now, he wants jim to live. getting him out of here, as he tries to figure out what the beast is... when his stone skin can take hits much better, even if daylight is protecting him.

his hand goes for the satchel at the small of his back, not for the knife, but the amulet, and a handful of gems. he knows them by touch, and digs out the set of six carefully chipped and cleaved stones, plugging them into the empty divots of the back of his amulet. jiki just hopes jim doesn't see, at least at first.

Jim yelped in surprise, already behind the troll. He looks genuinely frightened and yet surprised at how quick the beast is charging at them. "R-right...!" He then started running, his eyes soon looking back to Jiki. He's worried about Jiki...and yet Jiki wants him to keep running. Wait, what's Jiki doing?

@trollamulet || capturing a muse starters (accepting)

"Jiki, what are you doing?" Jim questioned in genuine surprise and worry, certainly not liking the fact that Jiki locked him up somewhere safe just for his safety. "They need me! You can't do this to me, to them!" He exclaims rather loudly, making eye contact with Jiki.
