Why is Jim Such a Bitch in TobyVision

I’ll start by saying that Jim does not hate Toby in this AU. At all. In fact it’s quite the opposite.

I always found Barbara’s parenting ridiculous because Jim was being more of a parent to her than the other way around. Jim feels this need to protect her and do things for her out of fear that if she were to do these things herself she wouldn’t need him anymore and would leave him. ABANDONMENT ISSUES!!

It’s the same thing with Toby. When Jim meets Toby, the latter is in the midst of his “omg guys we’re gonna dieeeee a fire is gonna happen I had a dream where Mary broke her tibia ITS AWFUL” and you know, everyone thought he was a spaz. Jim isn’t judgmental or anything and he never called Toby out to say “oh you’re being ridiculous.” However, Jim had this idea of Toby in his head where he was just… weaker. Emotionally weak for sure. Physically weak? Likely. And because of this Jim feels the need to be protective and do things for Toby as well.

“Oh Tobes don’t worry I’ll make your lunch.”

“Tobes don’t go to the store alone let me go with you.”

“Tobes let me cut the paper you could get hurt”

IM NOT EXAGGERATING!!

Toby did find Jim to be a bit overbearing but he didn’t say anything about it because 1) he had his own shit to deal with because of the wiggle shapes and the Trilafon and 2) he knows deep down that Jim’s parental relations had an impact on him even if Jim’s too stubborn to admit it, and Toby wouldn’t want to hurt Jim’s feelings.

Now when Toby stated talking about seeing the future when it comes to trollhunting, like Strickler being a changeling or Angor Rot attacking them or whatever, Jim’s mind is just like “oh great this shit again I thought he stopped doing this when we were 12.” He already views Toby as inferior, even if not in a bad way. He doesn’t want to feed Toby’s delusions for fear of Toby doing something stupid and putting himself in danger. He figures that Toby would drop it eventually.

Jim also has this tendency, as we know, to put all burdens on himself. Jim would rather pursue his trollhunting duties alone than take Toby’s advice because Jim believes he’s competent enough to do it on his own.

Deep down, most of all, (this is specifically after Jim actually starts believing Toby can see the future) Jim is worried that because Toby has this ability, Toby will now be able to function and protect himself independently. Even be a helpful asset for the team. And Jim is scared that if Toby can do all this without him, then he will eventually decide he doesn’t need Jim at all and will leave him too.

LOSER!!

drawing @noodlecarrot50states oracle!toby au cause i remembered that i really like ToA

I meant “dog and pony” show SHIT

anyway uh DARBY

because no one draws Darby (or Wack-A-Mole) on here 🙁

Matter of fact, no one really draws DARCI on here 😭😭😭 hmmmmmm

WHY NOT THOUGH THEYRE LITERALLY THE “IT” COUPLE (in my head)

The only likable canon ship imo

Anyway its not explicitly stated but its safe to assume that whenever I draw these two (or really Toby in general from now on) its part of tobyvision. Yeah.

Anyway I love these guys they’re actually so pony and puppy core

Yes his eyes are fucking bleeding like the Wednesday show okay I wanted to be tuff and edgy idk 💔 I’m attached to the pure aesthetic of seeing into the future but it’s like you’re looking so far ahead that you start bleeding from the eyes like that shit is soooooo peak WHAT????

Anyway I had to torture him physically too he can’t just be op he needs a weakness. So like, as he begins to try to find a way to manipulate his visions to occur when he wants them to it causes some… repercussions

He might go blind like his Nana eventually who knows

Gnome Chomsky is forced to deal with Toby’s bullshit all day and he does not get paid enough (as in at all) for the amount of times he gets thrown around the room while Toby’s having a fit

One of these days I’ll come out with a list of all the things Toby gets precognition about throughout this AU so you guys can know his descent into madness like I do

Oh and Darci is both fed up with and terrified of Toby and what’s happening to him (or at least what she thinks is happening). She still loves him regardless.

But some days it’s really just

I need new highlighters omg 💔💔💔

A little birdie told me it might be easier to understand if I make multiple posts so that’s what I’m gonna do
