Forever trash for garbage old men

Trollhunter!Strickler from my fanfic and an opportunity to do my first attempt at the Daylight Armour and a full background.-(pinkytoothless011)

▪︎▪︎▪︎

And yet its still my screen saver for Google Chrome lol. I'm fond of this Trollhunter! Strickler drawing, what can I say?

Although I did some colour correcting on his face and wings! So here's how it looks now!

Troll Dads are Best dads.

I have returned to digital art! And honestly I'm surprised at the massive jump in quality, considering this is my first official time drawing Blinky lol.

Redraw for Mermay 2025 of my 2022 MerStrickler design with a leafy seadragon inspiration!

And a big thank you to @pinkytoothlesso11 who helped me come up with this idea while we discussed how Jim might act while being taught chess.

Spider-hunter AU troll Jim from this post inspired by a lovely conversation with @pinkytoothlesso11

Love how you integrated all the design elements in a way that still very much so works! Especially with the extra eyes and spider fangs.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

(Obviously I like Strickler a LOT) But I guess I like how complicated of a character he is? You can't fit him nice and neatly into good or bad, and he struggles with making the right decisions, often he makes the WRONG decision first. But he strives to make himself better anyway. Also... he is very attractive lol in both forms as a bonus. He's a fun character who's very much so influenced the type of characters I go for as favourites.

2. Favourite canon thing about this character?

Hmm surface level wise, definitely LOVE that he has wings!! Also a fan of Strickler canonically (eventually at least) getting engaged to Barbara and being Jim's future step dad. I just really love his and Jim's father-son relationship okay? And he's so silly sometimes with his horrible dad jokes and tucked in jumpers, so dad shaped I swear. I also appreciate that one of the first things Jim does post RoTT is go to Strickler and set him up with Barbara and this man just accepts it lol.

Screenshot redraw from my favourite WEBTOON comic Dark Castle by faun_me! Linked below for those of you who may be interested in reading it, since its a slow burn monster romance with fantastic worldbuilding and visuals. 😈

Original screenshot is below the cut!

So the Story follow how Strickler basically have to deal with people mocking because he is half blood on Slyetrin he is only one friend and that Snape they getting bullied by James and his crew but for Strickler it doesn't last that long because he falls to Barbara which are best friend with Lily and his relationship with Snape ended after he called Lily mudblood and injured Barbara after She protected him that force Strickler to reveal his Demon form that basically his troll form to scare Snape away.

then everything goes about the Same although Harry get adopted by Barbara and Strickler alongside their Son.

what do you think of it and how do you think Strickler's life would be moving forward.

Obviously Strickler would be Slytherin. Xd But I feel that Barbara would be Gryffindor actually, (Claire feels like a Ravenclaw and Toby is definitely Hufflepuff).

Also I feel James can be the same James as Harry's dad for fun since they already share the same name.

So Strickler's dad, the wizard, to protect his family who live in the human world finds a way to shape shift into basically a demon to scare other wizards/witches away, since he's pretty well known in the wizarding world. Strickler maybe accidentally ends up using the spell when he was a kid, so now is stuck with that other demon form (that looks like his troll form in Trollhunters). He hides it though.

I feel like in an AU like this Snape could be reformed though earlier with Strickler being his friend and in a similar situation. So this might derail canon a LOT lol.

I do like the idea of Strickler and Barbara adopting Harry and raising him alongside Jim though (hmm does that mean Jim also at some point finds out about Strickler's demon form spell and also uses it??)

As for Strckler i think he would tought Jim the ablity to Shape shift although he would look more like his Troll from fruther more i am going to Make Toby a Weesly that is both a friend of Jim and Harry. Claire is also A Deuather of pure blood but Dont share their pure blood belifs.

Yeah I think Jim's 'troll' form would maybe still look more like Strickler's, so with wings probably. LOVE the idea of Toby being a Weasley! And not surprised that Claire would be a 'pure' blood. Lots of old wizard families are. I guess her parents do believe it, but Claire knows its wrong.

So i thought of thing what if Strickler met Remus Lupin and Snape.

he Similar to both of them hiding a Dark secret like Lupin and wanted to be Loved like Snape.

he more Succeesful then both of them.

Snape was a creep that wanted lily even if she didn't return those feelings back.

and Lupin have no control on his other side that made him really closed off and not think he deserve Love.

with Strickler despite Sharing Similar traits it was Clear him and Barbara are endgame.

what do you think Strickler would think on Lupin and Snape

and what do you think they would think about him.

That would be interesting lol. He definitely shares a lot of similarities with them. Also with Sirius!

I agree about the hiding they're a shape-shifter with Strickler and Lupin, and the self loathing, but Strickler was born a troll still, Lupin was bitten and became a werewolf. And there's control for Strickler no matter what when it comes to being a troll, although actually Lupin has control too as long as he takes his potion! In the books I know that was what he did, and the Marauders learnt how to shape-shift so they could join him on the full moon.

I'm not sure if it was wanting to be loved for Snape. It was desperation and obsession. Strickler didn't even realise he wanted love till he fell for Barbara.

Strickler is probably the most similar to Sirius, as a morally grey father figure. But of course Strickler actually lives, unlike Snape, Sirius or Lupin (okay yeah if counting RoTT Strickler dies, but its temporary and Jim is willing to reverse time to give him a second chance to live).

Probably Strickler would feel sympathy for Lupin and Sirius for how unlucky they are and some disgust and pity for Snape, especially in choosing to work for the death eaters and then regretting it... Strickler never had that luxury.

i do think that Srius and Lupin would probably be the one who fall him for More as allies and mates.
