Yeah So You Know The Video From This Post? I Went To Check Out The Rest Of The Channel To See If They

Forgetting Jim...

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.

Separation anxiety

this fandom is too pure and i’m nearly crying

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

(WIZARDS SPOILERS) My storyboards from Wizards Ep 10, Douxie & Merlin Farewell scene. This is by far my favorite scene I have EVER boarded of all time. This scene is heavily crafted in terms of visual language and cinematic symbolism, and I had SO much fun planning and executing this scene. I will post a scene breakdown analysis of this sequence soon (hopefully within the next 2 weeks) so y’all can see my thought process and the symbology behind the cinematography (hints: look at the character blocking, directional movement, compositions of the frame, lighting, and see if you can find some themes!) Fun fact, I was crying boarding this scene haha; I listened to “Moving On” from Lost as I boarded and I’m sure that didn’t help.

Edited by the exceptionally talented Joel Fisher (I had to do minor edits on this version, so if there is something clunky that is 100% my fault).

You can find tap through versions of these storyboards and more on my website. Link in my bio!
