#toa toby

Cause Strickler only turned good because of BARBARA. And he only met her because Jim was the trollhunter, he only pursued her at first to upset Jim.

Jim survived the darklands because he had formed genuine connections with Nomura and Strickler that I don’t think Toby could.

Love Toby but he’s a bit awkward and sometimes he says some crazy shit.

Also I don’t think he would be responsible with it—? Like he was literally telling Claire that Jim found a magic amulet and they WERENT EVEN FRIENDS. Toby could not lock tf in for his life in the early days.

That’s why my headcanon is that the amulet was like “Toby Domzalski… take me to Jim that bitch thought he could get out of this.” Jim and the amulet are a bitter married couple.

Also they kinda did this in like season two, Jim wishes he wasn’t the trollhunter and DRAAL can’t even stop Gunmar.

Douxie: Krel…

———

Jim: Ok we need to find the peppers if we want an acutely spicy salsa- steve put the ground pepper down

———

Toby: It’s always fun when we go shopping together because I get free entertainment like this

Camera pans to look at Douxie and Eli*

Eli: Is it true that Benjamin Franklin was a woman?

Douxie: Sigh* Are you going to help me listen to the watermelon or not?

———

Claire: Wait where’s steve?

Toby: He’s still trying to get all the free samples he should be able to find us as long as Eli’s here.

Claire: Oh ok… Wait where’s Eli?

———

Aja: And this one is a lemon!

Krel: That’s actually a grape fruit you can tell because it’s painted to be pink with an orange rind and also it’s larger than the lime. Grape fruit is also known to help with digestive issues despite being commonly agreed to be the most disgusting of the citrus. Which circles round to the idea that the more poison is in food the more likely a human is to eat it. This is also displayed through the foods known as chocolate and peppermint both of which are known to be poisonous amongst most earthly animals meanwhile humans eat it for its taste.

Aja: Watch this he’s just gonna keep going

Krel: Still talking about food*

the obligatory thing I do when I get a new interest

Claire, to Jim: If Toby doesn't say "I'm King of the world" within an hour on that boat, I will give you my next pay check. Toby, within 5 minutes of getting on the boat: I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!!

------------------------------------

Steve: *angrily presses Eli against a wall* WHERE'S THE MONEY?! Eli: ... Eli: Are we about to kiss-

-----------------------------------

Douxie: Did you just refer to a knife as a “people-opener”? Krel: Krel: …Should I not have?

-----------------------------------

Steve: Last night, I had a dream about sandwich pizza. Douxie: What? Steve: It was pizza with bread on the top and the bottom. Douxie: So a calzone? Steve: You can’t just name things I dream up.

-----------------------------------

Police Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Toby: I choose to waive that right! Toby: *screaming*

-----------------------------------

Jim: Strickler! I thought you were dead! Strickler: No, just in deep cover. Jim: ...But it was an open casket. Strickler: It was very deep.

-----------------------------------

Aja: Live, laugh, love! Varvatos: Die, cry, hate.

-----------------------------------

Krel, as a child, reading their school assignment out loud: I love my library because... Krel, mouthing words while writing: I love reading, fuck you.

-----------------------------------

Toby: Just so everyone knows, don't ever try to climb a tree at night carrying a strobe light, owls DON'T like it. Blinky: ...what happened? Toby: I made a VERY bad mistake.

-----------------------------------

Eli: Why don't humans have a specific noise that means "there are bees here, let's leave immediately." Why are elephants more advanced than us. Jim: We do have a specific noise for it. It sounds like this: Jim: "There are bees here, let's leave immediately."

-----------------------------------

Eli: You call yourself my soulmate, but where were you when my meme only had four likes? Steve: Making four accounts. Eli, tearing up: Really...?

-----------------------------------

Blinky: Are oranges named orange because oranges are orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange? Aaarrrgghh: Which came first, the orange or the orange? Claire: Orange was first used to refer the fruit 1280 years ago but was not used as a color until 1000 years ago. Jim: What was the color called before then? Toby: There was no color, duh! Everything was black and white!

-----------------------------------

Douxie as a child: I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures! Douxie now: I can’t wait to go to bed.

-----------------------------------

Jim did something reckless and Blinky got so mad the English language wasn’t enough. Jim is confused and concerned.

English translation of the trollish because I won’t make you do all that:

I've been COOKING THIS UP FOR THE PAST 3 OR 4 DAYS??? TALES OF ARCADIA ACTOR AU!!!

These are all designs of the actors in their early seasons, so Trollhunters season 1, 3Below season 1 and Wizards season 1 (cause yes in this au, Wizards gets the season 2 IT DESERVES) SO some designs might be tweaked here and there to match later canon if I draw them more-

UHH UPDATED CHARACTER INFOS AT THE BOTTOM CAUSE I RECOGNIZE MY HANDWRITING IS PROBABLY BAD AND THERE WAS NOT MUCH SPACE TO WRITE SOME OF THESE PROPERLY XD:
