I just thought of something that really makes me sad…now that Jim is a troll, will they forget what he was like as a human? I know he’s technically both, but let’s face it, there is very very little resemblance to human Jim in his half-and-half form. Even his personality has undergone some understandable changes, though at his heart he is the same.
It’s an established fact that over time, we as humans forget details, even about the ones we love, especially if they’re no longer around. And Merlin blatantly states that “There is no Jim.” Jim as a human? He’s gone for good. He is forever changed, and if he has the lifespan of a troll now…well…
It’s just really kinda heartbreaking to think that Blinky, Claire, Toby, etc. will start to forget human Jim. Like imagine if one day, for whatever reason, they’re in Arcadia and come across a picture of Jim when he was human. And Claire, or Blinky, or even Jim himself, is just like “Wow, I forgot that’s what I was like.”
They’ll forget what his smile was like. That he used to sound different (though I know that’s the Grave Sand’s doing, not Merlin’s). They’ll forget how skinny his legs were (ha ha). They’ll probably forget what his favorite foods were. There are so many tiny, yet significant things that will be lost to time.
And what really worries me? If enough time were to pass, assuming he can live for centuries, once his human loved ones are gone, what if the trolls forget he ever was human? Like, I’m sure they’ll know it as a fact, but what if they forget the reality of it? What if Jim’s abilities and accomplishments as a troll completely overshadows everything he did before he ever was one? What if they forget the enormity of what he lost, what he sacrificed, in order to save two worlds?
Idk if anyone else will find this as sad as I do, but human Jim to me was such a wonderful wonderful character. I loved him so much, and it still hurts that he was eradicated. As much as I love new troll Jim, I just don’t think I’ll ever fully be over what we lost.
Tumblr users will see a post mentioning a day if the week and just fucking black out and reblog it
In case you missed it, here is my contribution for @demonunderpressure's TOA Zine
I have so much thoughts about this man but for now; just watch him smile.
Few redesigns on this lil guy.
I like the og, it's very cute and dangerous, but I wanted to make it look more like a parasite specifically 🦴
"Are you proship or antiship?"
I am a grown ass adult who has better things to worry about and could not care less about which characters people ship or what kinks somebody wants to write, draw, or read.
"Xyz creator of this is a bad person so you shouldn't enjoy their content!"
I am a grown ass adult who knows how to separate the creator from the content and how to enjoy stuff without 'supporting' what the creator has done irl.
"If you like this in fiction it means you support it irl."
I. Am. A. Grown. Ass. Adult. I can separate fiction from reality and curate my own experience online by filtering what I see and simply scrolling past what I don't like without bothering the creator.
Cybertronian food dump! Designing this stuff is addictive.
1) a typical cafeteria meal at the JAAT. Maccadam ensures the students get only the best, even occasionally arranging for “culture fuel” days, serving dishes from different city-states or colonies.
2) if you let steel woolies sit long enough, you get rust bunnies, delicious lil bunches of spice. It’s pretty easy to make them (Whirl keeps a bunch of steel woolies under his berth and just lets them rust until they’re ready), but commercial grade rust bunnies have grease and seasoning that adds to the flavor.
3) cyberflora aren’t really alive like organic plants are, but they do contribute heavily to the energon cycle, metal distribution, and energy generation of Cybertron. This one is called a brollypalm, a solar collector that gathers energon and charges it to a sweet buzz with the energy. Brollypods can be cracked open and drank, or they can be chilled to a gelatinous solid and eaten.
4) I have nothing to say about RAM-En except for the fact you’d better appreciate the pun.
I wanted to draw something else but……….
