small question what do you think the history would go if the movies happen in different order
That is a great question!
I don’t think Movie Two really could’ve happened before Movie One, strictly for the reason that… I don’t think Branch would’ve gone with Poppy. Likely, she would’ve brought Creek with her (If the coward even bothered to go), and who knows what could have happened then? I think without Branch there, the plan would’ve failed entirely, and Barb’s Nation of Rock would have become reality.
Now Movie Three before Movie One, that would be interesting! Imagining a GREY Branch being told he has to go find his brothers who left him all those years ago… Would he have even agreed? If he did, his interactions would have been a lot colder, and more cruel, with each of them. And saving Floyd? It may have just failed, considering Branch’s refusal to sing, and his nihilistic views on the world would’ve kept him from inspiring his brothers that they don’t have to be perfect to be in harmony. So many things could happen, I’ll bet you five bucks there’s a fic about it! (Not actually betting tho, I am broke😂)
Movie Three before Movie Two, I don’t think much would’ve changed honestly, since those two are pretty disconnected. But it would be interesting to see how the BroZone Bros and Viva would play into the plot!!! Would they all go? Could make for some fun, wacky hijinks! (All of BroZone as Rock Zombies?!?!)
Interesting thoughts for sure!
Why do you think Pine and Sunny named the boys how they did?
OH, I got you, you know I’ve been thinking about this…
John Dory: Named after his mother, “Sunny”, who also has a fish based name! (Like the Bluegills, who are also called “Sunny’s” where I’m from!) Kinda ironic maybe, considering which parent he tends to take after…
Spruce: Named after his father, following the “tree” trend. (Mayhaps another reason he changed his name…?)
Clay: Named in honor his Grandpa “Peat”, who also had yellow hair, sorta following the dirt/ground part of nature. (Peat is Rosiepuff’s husband, but does not show up in the story, he died way before!)
Floyd: Bit of a toughy, but on the Trolls wiki, they mention Floyd’s name was a bit of a play on words from the word “Flood”. And he cried a lot as a kid so…
And we all know John Dory named Branch, after the designs on his egg, and because he wanted his brother to have a strong name, like a Branch that never bows to the wind.
But yeah, there we go! Can you tell I’ve thought about this before?😂
Awwww so cute, I love this scene so much! Writing John Dory and Bruce will always be one of my favorite things💜 THANK YOU!!!
“Yeah…” John Dory said with a grimace, thinking back to his dream and his father’s death grip on his shoulder. “He was a jerk.”
“He was broken.”
Broken… John Dory’s eyes shot wide open, as if he’d been slapped. The word seemed to slice through John Dory’s heart, leaving it open and bleeding.
“When Mom died, something just broke inside him.” Bruce continued, his face grim. “Something that couldn't be fixed. It wasn’t any of our faults. He was just broken beyond repair.”
Forgot about this wip! based on a scene from John Dory's Quick and Consise Guide on How To Survive

A work of art😍🙏
you ever see a post so compelling it immediately makes you drop whatever else you were working on

where you going old man
When JD saw Cooper for the first time, what went through his mind? I mean Cooper is different from Pop trolls because he's born a Funk troll, but JD and the others don't know anything about 'Other' Trolls before the events of the second movie right?
In all honesty, this is probs exactly how it went…
John Dory sneaking around town and sees a young Poppy running past with the rest of the Snack Pack, including Cooper.
John Dory, thinking:
“Huh, that’s an odd looking troll.”
“…”
“Anyways…”
He doesn’t really think too much about it😅 Just figured the kid was a little different, and went about his business. You’re absolutely right, they don’t know anything about the other Trolls, so the thought Cooper could be anything other than a “Pop Troll” never even crossed his mind.
Kid seemed nice enough, so he didn’t really care. After all, he’d be one of the last people to judge someone on appearances!
Quick question, if you were to do an ages reversed Au with the brothers (Branches as eldest, JD youngest, ect), what do you think would change about the story, just off the top of your head?
Ooooo this is tricky, ok uh… (Edit: I based this off of Great Decisions btw, I’m sorry, I didn’t read closely enough😖)
Branch - I think he would be a bit of an overbearing older brother. Not in JD’s perfectionistic way, but more like being in everyone’s business. He definitely has a schedule on each of them regarding their activities. He doesn’t want them to be perfect, but he expects them to listen, and is a bit self centered sometimes. Likely, Branch wouldn’t have left the tree. And unlike John Dory, he despises their father for what he did, and is similar to Grandma Rosiepuff in that sense where he refuses to talk about it. Also unlike JD, he did not drop out of school, Grandma Rosiepuff would be a lot more willing to help in this situation.
Floyd - It was Floyd’s idea to start BroZone to help his brother out (Branch was doing a bunch of jobs and wasn’t home too much). When the perfect family harmony fell apart, he was mortified, thinking he ruined everything, and ran. He had no idea Spruce followed after him.
Clay - His storyline’s about the same. He and Branch argued over many things, but more so life stuff vs band stuff, and when Floyd and Spruce disappeared, he left to live with King Peppy. He went missing in the tunnels running back to find his brothers…
Spruce - Spruce took the role of a mediator in this timeline. Floyd was really stressed all the time, so Spruce would typically step in and use his baby brother privilege to get Branch and Clay to stop arguing. He was always very good with baby JD. When he saw Floyd taking off, he followed him. But by the time he convince his brother to come back, it was too late, and they were lost.
JD - He had much more support growing up. Branch figured out he was dyslexic pretty quick, and helped him with learning to read. A bit of his perfectionism showed through, but it wasnt much till he got older. He was the one who Grandma Rosiepuff sacrificed herself to save, and after that happened, he took off. And Branch went after him. When they returned, they saw the decimated tree and collapsed tunnels, and despite his investigations, Branch figured the trolls were gone.
Instead of going to the Neverglade, they just lived in the woods, Branch just taking them as far as he could from Bergentown, his paranoia starting. They never found Rhonda. Because Branch is a bit more cautious, he did not gather that many injuries. And they likely found Troll Village sooner.
Branch was also able to pick up on the early warning signs of JD’s mental health problems.
AH! I hope that was ok! I tried, but gosh man, that is a tricky one!!!
We love an image of Creek and Chef getting their just desserts😈
Here’s the scene like I said I did my best on the gruesome scene but the story is very intriguing keep up the good work.

Creek and chef Chyna have their comeuppance even though creeks karma he did betray the Trolls for freedom and something caught up for him.
The story The greatest decision by @rydoesartandstuff my sketch belongs to me. 
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
Randomly remembered this quote and it made my mind go brrrr…
It was too good not to draw😂 It fits the vibes of the next few chapters so well! And wanted to try some shading anyways lol
I make art and write on AO3! Check it out @rytheoneandonly
