Hunter!Jim is a manifestation of Jim’s sense of guilt.
That’s why Hunter!Jim:
-Shows up when Jim is panicking about Love-struck!Jim being at the Nuñez barbecue; Jim’s primary feeling in that moment is guilt over Trollhunter stuff spilling over onto something that was supposed to be ‘normal’.
-Goes on that rant about ‘protecting Arcadia’ and how maybe he should run for political office, which would actually interfere with his capacity to trollhunt if he followed through with it; Jim feels like he’s supposed to be able to handle every pressure put on him and that it’s his job to take care of everything.
-Tries to break up with Claire to focus on Trollhunting full-time; Jim feels bad that he can’t do classical boyfriend-girlfriend activities with Claire, because his job gets in the way, and Jim has also had it thrown in his face a few times that his feelings for Claire influenced his decision to rescue Enrique and risk freeing Gunmar.
-Yells at Jim about possibly letting Gunmar out, and how Jim can’t balance both worlds; things Jim has struggled with for the whole season and the whole series, respectively.
Hunter!Jim is, literally, Jim beating himself up for not being able to Protect Everyone All The Time or live up to every promise he ever makes to others and himself.
I absolutely fell in love with @tenyai gorgeous design of Jim and Claire’s wedding day, so I had to do some fanart. I had so much fun with Claire’s braids and the folds of the dress. I imagined this as just a quick peck during their first dance or something.
But the cost was higher than anyone would’ve expected…
Than he would’ve expected…
Parts of everyone laying on the ground, armors and weapons, burnt or covered in ice or roots.
The arcane war left no winners, but it left a couple survivors, including the last trollhunter…
He held the helmet in his hands, one of the few pieces that was left almost unharmed. The purple helmet brought back memories of when it was forged…and for who. That old vespa, a wholehearted gift from his first father figure, and Claire…the last person he expected to leave him alone in this desolate world.
I appreciate you so much for this!!!! It’s beautiful!
Again, I apologize for accidentally co-opting Pride prompts for some Jlaire. I just saw you and prompts and blanked on the rest. I love your art.
Actually, are your commissions open?
I’m glad you like it!
And you have nothing to apologize for! We’re all about celebrating love this month and that includes jlaire. I don’t want to limit the requests/prompts to outwardly queer relationships.
As far as commissions go, I’m not taking on any new ones until after I move. I keep choosing to draw over going apartment hunting, so I need to eliminate the distraction even if it’s bringing in some money… But I can let you know when I’m back up for business if you’d like!
