Troll hunter Jim Lake JR 

[trollamulet]

And the only thing they regret is being caught without doing more.

If Jim keeps the amulet, I actually really like the idea Post ROTT, so i'm making fanart of it because its my way to get over the trauma 😂

I dedicate this drawing to and @bluheaven-adw and @theslayerbrother because if it hadn't been for the fact that they incited me at on Twitter I probably would have been lazy and would never have finished this, in my town people say that you should'nt add fuel to the fire, because you never know how it could get, so, I hope you all like it 😂

the voice is familiar. too familiar. jim doesn't think too much about answering the question. the only downside is that he's still kinda... stuck in the eclipse armour, but he feels like the true peeling of armour off and taking a much deserved bath as they settle the trolls in the new market.

the odd sensation of being watched did not go away as he kept an eye out. maybe the feeling of him running is the reason that eclipse has not let him go. at least not while he's not in the safety of numbers amongst his stone-skinned kinsmen.

he doesn't expect to see himself. let alone human. let alone asking him a question looking like he'd seen a whole other hell. the scar across the human face... he brushes it off. were his legs always that skinny?

"with everything that's happened - gunmar, morgana... yeah? though... i have the feeling doom is about to get us again, huh?" he taps his right hand against his armoured belly. at least eclipse had the decency to give him protection over his fingertips now. "there's a new home for the trolls here in new jersey, and i'm their protector. i just hope that daylight returns soon, to give them the beacon of hope back." he admits to the only person who would truly know.

jim  watches  with  bated  breath,  holding  it.  it's  odd  to  see  how  he  moved,  blinked.  staring  from  the  outside  in,  seeing  someone  else  share  the  face  you've  only  seen  reversed  in  distorted  reflections  for  too  long  -  avoiding  the  way  you  looked  because  you  were  afraid  of  what  monster  you'd  become  -  and  he  knows  that  this  isn't  a  changeling,  this  isn't  someone  copying  his  appearance.

  it's  not  exactly  the  outcome  he  wanted,  the  outcome  in  mind.  yes,  he  wanted  toby  alive,  but  at  the  same  time  -  staring  at  himself  days  before  making  the  biggest  mistake  of  patrolling  alone,  fleeing  from  the  green  knight...  before  the  shard  in  his  chest  takes  his  life.

  jim  has  seen  what  two  of  merlin's  amulets  do  when  they're  in  the  same  space,  but  the  difference  between  the  trollhunters  is  that  the  one  in  front  of  him  is  still  half-troll,  and  he  feels  sick.  he  knows  the  fate  that  becomes  of  himself.  that,  and  the  akaridion  amulet  in  his  pocket  -  burning  and  burning.

  "hey,  are  you  happy?"  he  quietly  asks.  he  doesn't  know  if  he's  double-backed  on  his  own  timeline,  where  he  wasn't,  or  if  this  is  a  different  timeline  where  he  doesn't  remember,  that  he's  reset  things  before  and  he  is  happy  with  his  situation.

Has there been any storyboards with Zoe?

So far there has been one occasion and that is from Our Final Act by Stephan Franck! These show a different version to the final as Krel has also been captured.

There's two sets you can see here, both are on an auto play loop so there is no pause and you might have to wait until they loop back around if you missed something. I’ve added a a preview from each set below to give an idea what to expect:

... Very different.

The only other boards I'm aware of (Or are at least highly likely to contain Zoe) are not public sadly which is of course the artist's choice. Things can change and new things pop up though so there's a slim chance there might be something else one day!

" Your flesh smells tainted. Human, but not."

" human - i've not been human for a while. what do you do when you sacrifice your humanity and do everything to try and save the world, leaving you not of human flesh and blood but living stone? and when you do return to human form, you feel wrong, too small, not right."

"fitting i'd smell tainted."

legend of zelda au - extended information

as a general rule of thumb, jim is a knight that ends up under a curse, and depending on the secondary ‘world’ of the time the thread takes place in, he’s either a demon by night, or while he’s in that world.  he can be defined as either a monster or ‘some kind of goron’ due to being rocky.  over time, he tends to start blurring the line between forms, as they are both him, one and the same, and has more control of the fluidity of transformation - world allowing.

sealing war / pre-skyward sword - #we'll sing a song of days gone by

a demon on the surface of hylia's precious lands - jiki is one of the few that revolted against demise and is in hiding. he lives outside of the faron region, bordering on the ancient lanaryu region. relatively human-shaped, jiki bears three fingers and a thumb on each hand, nails like dark claws and darkening from knuckle down in a gradient.

he's happy to talk about the past - about the war, however certain topics make him uncomfortable. those that were important in the army make him skittish - after all he was one of the few that rebelled, seeing the value in human life. he wants peace and somewhere to have a quiet life without worrying about the king.

little does he know, a curse was placed on him personally, bound to reincarnate to the same cycle as the mortals he loves, and upon his death, he is fated to continue to reincarnate as a mortal that will eventually find themselves in a cursed form, one of living stone. he doesn't know that this happens when he dies.

if encountered, jiki has a trinket lost in the lanaryu region, and as it becomes a desert, it's buried under sand on the docks before the lanayru sea. it's a strange watch-looking amulet, and upon the return to jiki, the demon gives five gratitude crystals.

skyward sword - #ear to the memory of a golden age

a student of the knight academy, in the same class as most of the other kids. acquaintances with link and zelda, as it's a small town. he and his mom live on another sky island nearby, but travel to skyloft for his classes daily. life is peaceful, until zelda is pulled from the sky. jim pays no mind to link leaving, until he himself feels a compulsion to follow him down.

and he does, finding his way through faron untill he stumbles an old cottage, rundown and somehow standing - covered in moss. it's familiar, impossibly so. opening it up, he finds the interior is still.. alright? he can't find his way back to the surface before night, and he spends the night there. it's the first night he changes - no pain, a foot taller with horns and fangs. it spooks him.

ocarina of time - #have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon

wip

twilight princess - #lift up the evening ; just for a while

a resident of kakariko village that has since moved to castle town to seek out an apprenticeship with the knights of the castle. after learning more about corruption within the knights, he ends up joining telma’s band, frequenting her bar. 

he’s rather ordinary - just a swordsman who likes cooking and talks to telma about food there. that is, until zant takes over and twilight covers hyrule. he watches in horror as he transforms into a monster with skin as hard and unforgiving stone. 

once the twilight is clear from the region, jim still changes at twilight, and back to human at dawn - eventually getting used to it, but the condition never goes away, and he fears someone finding out about the dual life and hating him, or worse.

breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom - #and what if they should falter

jim strangely finds acceptance among others in a world full of oddities. malice corrupts the landscape, yet a young man who shifts between human and inhuman like day does with night is a little concern when the moon can grow red and revive the dead beasts.  he doesn’t know what caused the change - it has happened since he was ten, but he would like a way to stop changing forms, or at least as frequently. he has no control over when he changes, and it’s painful and sore for him. he’s often found during the morning and evening after he changes on death mountain in the pools, soaking away the pain.  he sides with link, and will hand over crafting materials he’s found on his travels, ranging from gems to various bugs. he’ll trade for rarer objects he’s found, such as weapons and star fragments.  he has a personal sword that he uses the most - a one-handed weapon named daylight.  in areas of darkness, jim has a habit of transforming anyway. his other body has a better night vision, as well as a general sturdiness against unpredictable threats, as well as the fact malice tends to affect that in the dark a little more. 

hyrule warriors - #so hold on ; or we'll all fall down

pulled from the era of twilight, jim stumbles across the army while they fight with the twilight realm and cia’s fight. he’s pulled into the battle when all he wanted to do was have a small break from the mystery occurrences being unraveled in the era. ultimately, he returns home with agitha and midna.

Send me “🗯” for my muse to blurt out the first thing they think when they see your muse.

[trollamulet]

claire's carrd's graphics are all done - just gotta change all the colours & add the information

[trollamulet]

the first time jim truly feels the pull and drain of magic is when claire saves everyone from trollmarket. the way the magic pulls the energy from you - but claire has unleashed something that takes everything, and since she's still new, unused to a strong emotional spell, even jim feels so drained after in a way he never has.

the amulet & daylight's magic is softer, helpful - an offshoot of the magic that later transforms him the first time.

“Maybe I’m broken. Maybe I’m wrong.” (from Douxie)

jim paused, listening to the pain in his friend's voice. he shook his head.

"no - doux, you're not wrong, no." jim started, reaching out to gently pull at his friend's shoulder. "you're not broken, because i'd be broken. you're so right, you're so strong."

it's a little awkward when jim's hit a bit of a growth spurt since his return to flesh and bone with the absence of metal & rock skin. but he'll hold onto his friend until he feels better. "y'know, without you and claire, i wouldn't be standing here, so i think that it's something to prove you're not broken, 'cause i don't think claire would have had the skill or strength to pull me back without your help."

opened up e. knight p.2 to see if there's any quotes i can use for this edit i'm working on (and of course angor rot immediately was just. oh hi yes please - but i think ill see if gunmar has anything good)

pretty sure that we open eternal knight p. 2 with anton's jim noises and the book ending with our final TH ep having him be there??? sobbing crying.

edit: my pinned has the new graphic <3

I got hit hard by the trollshunter brainrot in history class. And, with no access to my pc tablet I had to return to every artist canon event: da school notebooks.

I had a blast drawing one of my favorite concepts: ARRGGH excitement over Jim's half-troll form! I mean, ARGGH already adored Jim as a human, but now that Jim's technically a troll, he can finally introduce him to the joys of sock-eating, radioactive waste snacks, and some good old roughhousing.

I don’t know, I wanted to give them more moments of found family. I felt like I was robed of that

[trollamulet]

troll jim is so wet puppy, kicked kitten coded. the only reason he doesnt look sixteen really is because if he did it'd be impossible to fight him (somehow wizards does make him look sixteen at times hes so goofy i love him)

[trollamulet]

jim has considered adding galadrigal to his name - tucking it before lake in his name to pay homage to blinky. after all, blinky's many things to him - a mentor, the leader of trollmarket by the time he's transformed & his adoptive dad in a way. in fact, if he introduces himself using his troll name, he has added galadrigal to it.

when it gets hard || sentence starters.

CW for panic attacks, depressive themes

"hey. you look tired. you alright?"

"something wrong?"

"look. i can tell you're not feeling great. want to talk about it?"

"i won't leave you. not now, not ever."

"it's okay to rest. i'm right here."

"sometimes your brain will lie to you and tell you bad stuff, but it's not true. it's never as bad as it seems."

"it will be okay. i promise."

"hey, it's alright to let it out."

"you hide behind that facade so much. why?"

"you're not going to leave me, right?"

"want to do something stupid to take your mind off all this?"

"we'll live. we'll live, both of us will, please believe me!"

"don't do this. it's not good for you."

"we will survive and afterwards, we'll... get some ice cream. or go to a nice restaurant."

"i don't know if anyone has ever told you this, but it gets better. it will get better, i promise."

"do you have anyone who supports you? do you have anyone who cares about you?"

"can i have a hug?"

"maybe it's not okay right now. maybe it won't be for a while. whichever it is, i won't leave you."

"hey, stay for a while. i gotta share this popcorn with someone."

"sleep fixes a lot of stuff. it's like emptying garbage cans in your brain."

"stay with me, please?"

"follow my breathing, okay? in for one, two, three, four... hold for one, two, three, four... out for one, two, three, four."

"let's go for a walk together. where do you wanna go?"

"there - you can cry. it's okay. i would never judge you for that."

"it doesn't matter what you say or do, i won't let you be sad alone."

"i'm your friend, idiot. i'm not going to abandon you."

"don't just repress everything! that's dumb, and it'll hurt your brain."

"if you need a breath of fresh air or a change of scenery, i know a place we can go."
