Here's Where Clam Fishing Gets SERIOUS

I wonder JD react to the party crashers (similar to great decision)?

Oooo interesting you ask! They may actually make an appearance at some point… No spoilers yet!!!

"I love characters who make mistakes" you cant even handle John Dory

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

I've finished reading the last chapter of Great Decisions, and I really want K. Peppy and JD to become a real family in the future. Well, like for John to call him dad, because in fact he replaced their father 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I think they’re already family! JD is definitely like a son to King Peppy, and JD very much sees King Peppy as a father figure! Idk if he’ll ever say it out loud again, but they feel the same way!

They make me so happy, and so sad at the same time😭

Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue

where you going old man

Hi! Maybe this has already been asked or maybe you even wrote about it in your story, but I'm interested to know in more detail... How do you imagine the appearance and personalities of Branch's and his brothers' parents ? And also, which of the five brothers is most similar to which parent? Thank you in advance for your answer))

Also, sorry if something is not clear, English is not my native language😅

Absolutely man! I got you!

Their mother, Sunny, is the daughter of Rosiepuff! She’s light purple, with golden yellow hair. She was know for being kind, and soft spoken, but she was definitely tough, basically second in command of the scouts at the Troll Tree! She had a great sense of humor, a sharp tongue to match Pine’s, and a laugh that could light up a room. And she could often be found high up in the foliage, dancing where the sun could reach the leaves (she was basically an acrobat up there!) She always dreamed of trying to escape the Troll Tree someday, but when she had her family, she thought better of it, wanting instead to just keep them safe. Gruesome death warning… She was killed while trying to save someone, a Bergen slapping her aside, and completely crushing her against the tree before Pine could reach her.

Their father, Pine, was a light blue troll with very dark, spiky green hair (thus the name “Pine”). He was a cocky, adventurous guy, who also had a sharp sense of humor. His adventurous, thrill seeking nature is what led him to being the head of the scouts. He always dreamed of escaping and hiking the Neverglade Trail, but to him, it was less of a dream, and more of a goal. He completely fell in love with Sunny, the two of them entirely happy together. He never really wanted kids, but… There’s nothing he would do for her.

However, Pine started showing early signs of schizophrenia. His is a bit different from JD, and more paranoid delusional. He became absolutely paranoid with the Bergens, thinking they were watching them constantly, him and Sunny in particular. And he believed he was the only one who knew this, and the only one who could stop them. This is what ultimately put strain on his family, and he and Sunny’s relationship, because not only was he struggling, but he absolutely refused to get help/change, thinking people were out to get him. (We might touch on this a bit more in the story!)

He ultimately died after he found Sunny’s body, walking to the edge of a branch, and letting a Bergen take him, right in front of young John Dory.

Heh… Rough, right?

Anyways, the bros do kinda take after both of their parents in different ways, but I will say, Pine carried John Dory, Bruce, and Branch’s eggs, and Sunny carried Clay and Floyd, so there’s a bit more similarities between the respectively!

Don’t know why but I have the feeling that barb just made the biggest mistake turning jd into a rock zombie. Wouldn’t be surprised if he attacked her the moment she tried to hurt branch/ poppy.

Oof, yeah, Barb may defo be second-guessing her choices…

Luckily for Barb, she’s not the kind of person who would ever DIRECTLY try and hurt someone. So hopefully she’ll be safe from JD’s wrath, especially since the poor man is under so much mental strain. He doesn’t want to attack anyone, but I wouldn’t put it past him lashing out at the very minimum!

The dore 💔💔💔💔💔

Ry, why do you torture JD so much?

Great question. Answer? …Idk

I don’t know why his character just CLICKED for me. Maybe it’s the older sibling perfectionism in me that I’m just like yes, that man… He is me. Let’s make him suffer😂

But truly, I just love writing him, and I love writing angst, so… RIP to that man, his fault for being so DAMN LIKEABLE. Plus like, he just has SO much angst potential, I can’t help it😂
