Hiccup x Dagur. Dangerous, wild, unpredictable.

Avocato x Gary. Laughter, chaotic, loyalty.

Johnny x Tylor. Mentor, spicy, taboo.

@vibing-with-trashy-trolls here’s an art dump!

Be fully aware, The Jim and the Draal at the top were FULLY traced and art there for scale, I’m hoping to draw more of them. 

me: *needs all the draal/jim fic*

me: *writes all the draal/jim fic*

draal knows this was his only option, getting a robotic arm to take the place of his natural one. but sometimes he wishes he could go back in time and move himself over just a bit, stop his arm from turning to stone.

without it, he just feels lost. the mechanical arm helps, to a degree, but he’ll never be the same again.

he'll never fully be whole again.

and it's thoughts like these that have him lying awake at night, when he should be asleep. it has him tossing and turning, wincing at the moments where he places his metal hand beneath his head and feels the coolness hitting his face instead of a warm hand.

“you're thinking too loud,” he hears a voice say softly next to him, and he glances down at the small frame of his trollhunter, a sigh escaping him as he realizes he's been caught.

“i’ll never be the same again,” draal says, turning onto his back, staring up at the rocks that sit yards above them. “this thing, it's-- it's not a part of me, it's just… there.”

“draal, a fake arm doesn't change who you are as a person,” jim says, sliding over and reaching for said arm, placing the hand against his cheek. draal watches as he does so, frowning.

“i-i can't even feel that,” he says, anger building inside him. “how can i ever be myself again?”

“just let it go,” jim says. “pretend it's really your arm. imagine everything you’d be feeling. it won't make you feel so empty.” draal sighs, turning onto his side, reaching forward and placing his natural hand on jim’s other cheek. the boy's eyes fall shut, and he nuzzles into the touch.

“at least i can still touch you with this hand,” draal says, lifting his thumb to brush a lock of jim's hair away before it can fall into his eyes. the boy's eyes fall back open, and he smiles up at draal.

“see? you're still here,” he says. “you're still you. you can still enjoy everything life has to offer.” draal gasps softly at the comment. how did he--? before he can finish that thought, jim is moving in closer, letting his head rest against draal’s broad chest. he presses a kiss there, before turning his head and brushing a kiss to the area just above where draal's mechanical arm starts. draal can't help but smile fondly at the action, bringing his natural hand up to gently pet jim's head.

“goodnight, trollhunter,” he says softly.

“goodnight, draal.”

the two are silent for a few moments, before jim adds, “i love you.”

draal smiles, feeling himself blush. “love you too.”

Honestly i think they would get along great! both blue guys who were forced into a important position and got a rock rival who ended up getting mentally controlled and ended up protecting everyone after an adventure and made friends along the way! (only counting the end of the OG TOA. so nothing but the three seasons.)

Mune: "So you were chosen to be a protector?"

Jim: "Yeah. So you were chosen to become a god?"

Mune: "Yeah. So your rival turned boyfriend became corrupted and evil too?"

Jim: "Yeah. Want to go on a double date?"

mhm. except it was technically to another timeline, not rewound.

So, in Jims world Gunmar became a storm titan (made of storm clouds in the vague shape of Gunmar) from special magics that made in invincible and that literally siphoned the life of everything near him which caused him to grow, as well as spreading a corruption that killed everything it touched. The corruption seeped into the earth and grew like mold across all surfaces, meaning all life everywhere, even in the ocean, even deep where the Krubera's lived, etc, died.

Merlin and Jim were the last ones alive, and they were running out of air since all the plants had been killed. Pretty much 99.9% of all life was extinct.

Merlin told Jim to prevent this and to keep the new time safe. So with his final magic he sent Jim away.

Jim woke up in a dumpster and looked around seeing Arcadia before he had claimed the amulet. His body, mind, and soul had fused together with that timelines Jim.

He rushed to the canal and saw the amulet was gone. So he rushed to trollmarket. He's a half troll so no one really questions him as he's running around looking for Blinky and Arrrg. He finds them and hugs them and cries and they are like.

"Uh... and you are?"

So Jim explains his life and asks who the new TH is and it turns out to be Draal. Jims heart freezes because he missed him so much (yes they were mates in the other timeline.)

Jim runs off to the forge and forces his way into the void which shocked everyone. He ran up to Draal and hugged him weeping.

Draal pushed him away and tried to summon daylight but the amulet flew to Jim instead. Jim ran his thumb over it.

"Hello old friend. You're not mine this time. Go back to Draal." And the amulet flies back.

The past th and Draal are shocked. So Jim explains everything.

How Gunmar killed everyone and everything and now Jim's here to stop it.

Jim shows everyone memories in the void of their fights and happiness and the son they had together.

Bah dah dah dah! I assembled all (or most) of the stuff i stopped working on. Why delete it or let it collect dust? So read what you want and tell me about your thoughts cause i might make that chapter into a full blown fic. Tooooo much stuff to tag fully so just look for yourselfbe
