Writing Is 10% Storytelling And 90% Rearranging Three Sentences For An Hour Like You're Trying To Solve

Honestly I think one of the best things about your writing is how you do tend to force jd to suffer through the worst kind of torture. Actually having to talk through his emotions.

Like in my head I have this fun little idea of some secret potion being used and it showing his brothers what jd sees and thinks (in kinda like a body swap way). And boom someone sees what he sees and is like ‘uh jd wtf’

But I am very excited to see how he’s going to have to talk about it! It’s going to be agonizing for him and I can only hope he figures out the right words to do it.

Ahhhh right?! Like give this man the WORST mental torture, but the hardest thing is making him ACTUALLY talk about it!

Ooooo and I do like your idea! Something like that, or maybe like a Truth Serum Cloudguy sneaks into his drink, and he just starts spewing out a bunch of feelings he’s kept on lock for 20 years?! I love it, give me fourteen of them right now!!!

But I’m so glad you’re liking the story! It’ll defo be agonizing for him, so I wonder to what point he’ll have to be pushed to actually start talking about his feelings?! Ooooooo

Hello, hi, today I’ve been thinking about Great Decisions!John Dory and Grandma Rosiepuff, specifically the two of them singing that part from “The Underwold” in Epic: The Musical where Odysseus sees his mother’s ghost. Even tho their relationship was rocky, she was still his Grandmother, and he was her Grandson. And they loved each other. I like to think that one of her biggest regrets was letting him walk out that door.

But she never gave up on him. She always knew he’d come back someday. And when he did, she could tell him two very important things:

“I love you.”, and “I’m sorry.”

If I have to suffer, so do all of you

HOLY MOLY THIS IS SO COOL! Ahhhhh the emotions, the drama, the ANGST!!! You captured the scene so well!!!

Excerpt from Chapter 17: That Icy Fear

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

John Dory could feel himself becoming more and more frantic, but he tried desperately to swallow it down. Branch was talking, he just had to keep him talking… “Ok uh, what’s my favorite kind of berry?”

Branch let out a quiet hum, as if he wanted to speak, but just couldn’t find the energy to move his lips. Panic shot through John Dory, trying not to let it show in his voice as he asked again. “C’mon Bitty, you know this one. It’s small and blue, just like you, remember?”

The young troll didn’t reply. His head dropped further into John Dory’s chest, his breaths scarily slow. This was a stark contrast from John Dory, whose breaths quickened to a point he was nearly hyperventilating, unable to hold back the panic that was now surging through him.

“No no no, please Branch, please.” He begged, a sob building in his throat as he tried desperately to warm his brother’s icy skin. “C’mon buddy, please, I can’t- You can’t…”

This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening… He was losing him. He messed up, and because of that, he was going to lose his little brother. It was all his fault. He was failing, failing, failing…

All at once, his brothers appeared around him, their faces matching expressions of pure panic as they stared down at the small troll in John Dory’s arms.

“John, do something!” Spruce commanded, voice shrill with desperation.

“You’re losing him!” Clay cried out, eyes wide with fear.

“Help him, please!” Floyd sobbed, tears streaming down his face. “Please, John Dory, help him!

You know when you were showing us how much Mr Dinkles likes JD earlier in the story, I actually thought Biggie chasing after Mr Dinkles, who was hitching a ride in JD's hair, is how he'd join this part of the story like he did in the movie XD

That would be so freakin’ funny😂

But no, Biggie and Mr. Dinkles are “safe?” back in Troll Village! Mr. Dinkles, just like all critters, has a valid love for JD, the critter whisperer! But I honestly love that idea!

Vendo as proporções

… I forgot I made this

Granted, it was a WHILE ago (The designs are wack, and I think I’ve improved a lot at drawing trolls since this), but it made me laugh, and it kinda fits where the story’s at rn so… IMMA SHARE IT ANYWAYS!

Enjoy this thing that I spent like forty minutes making😂 Laugh through the pain y’all, laugh through the pain!

Thought I’d put an actual promotional post on here for my story!!!

Y’all want a complete rewrite of Trolls movies 1-3 from John Dory’s angsty POV? Do you like survival stories, perilous situations, and way too many ill-timed jokes and coping with comedy? Well bois, have I got a story for you! We’re almost to the end of the 1st movie, come join the ride!!!

Woah, you read to the end? I like you, have a John Dory doodle!

Great decisions JD is so hypertension by king gizzard and the lizard wizard coded

Is there any canon troll you ship JD with? And will JD get a possible partner in the story? BTW I love your story and I'm si excited we are getting into TWT !

I won’t give to much away because….

JD will have a partner in Great Decisions!!! I’m very excited to introduce it, but also nervous, aha… I seem to have gotten it into my head that if people don’t like the ship, they won’t like the story anymore, and I’m like AH. ✨STRESS✨

But I am very excited for it! It won’t take a HUGE role in this story, but it’ll definitely play a part in a lot of things. And the partner I chose for JD just fits him so well in this story. (I ship him with others too, but this one just worked out!)

Anyways, I’m also hype for TWT! And very excited for y’all to see what I have in store!

So, just to clarify, Hickory is not a centaur like the other country trolls. So is more of a Satyr troll, or he is centaur but goat features. Using @sandflakedraws Hickory design an example of a Satyr troll

Hickory is a centaur in this story!

But you’re right, he just has more goat-like features! I made a post with his design, but I’ll put it here as well!!! (Love the satyr design tho! But my version of Hickory is just a little different!)

His design is based on a mountain goat!
