On a scale from “he is going to kill them” to “he is going to figure out everything wrong thing they did put it into the court of law and then murder them in jail” how bad is branch going to react when he sees John.

Branch setting up a trial is everything to me😂

Oh, he’s gonna be PISSED. And even after everything, I imagine this’ll be a grudge he’ll hold for a while for sure. Let’s just say Barb is real lucky Branch is in love with a kind, forgiving soul like Poppy.

Otherwise that boy would be ruthless.

How much is JD suffering right now?

…So much. Poor boi is going THRU it

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!

Good lord, I LOVE HIM! And you so damn quick with it too ahhhhh!

I’m so glad you liked the design!!! Fr, he’s SO fun to draw! Thank you so much he looks AMAZING! The way I just want to give him a hug! (He has a special place in my heart too😭💜)

SPOILERS, CHAPTER 99 OF GREAT DECISIONS IS OUT

You know what that means…

I GET TO POST MY ROCK ZOMBIE!JD DESIGN!

Ahhhh I had so much fun making this! I’d thought about making him lose his vest altogether, but the was like, it’s such a part of his image, and it’s too much fun to just turn those little spots into skulls😂💀 So here he is! In all his rocked-out glory! (He’s having a great time, don’t worry)

Also, extra of him wearing that muzzle Barb put on him, I wasn’t sure if I liked how it turned out, but I spent WAY too much time drawing it to not post!

Omg, HE LOOKS AMAZING!!! Pretty much exactly how I picture him in my head! Absolutely STUNNING work on the prosthetic, it looks epic! His main weapon for both catching, and disposing of his targets! Very scrungly short goat man, I hate him (I love him)

Also, SO GLAD you like the Yodeler bros! (I like them a lot too!!!) Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!

…Ok double also JD’s face is SENDING me, man just looks like he’s thinking “This shit again I stg…”😂 Idk if that’s what you were going for, but again, EATING THIS ART!!!

“Great Decisions” Chapter 98 Spoilers

I just finished the latest chapter of “Great Decisions” by @rydoesartandstuff and I am LIVID

I can't wait to see what happens to JD after getting his ass handed to him by the ultimate power cord. Also, very intrigued by the characterization of Hickory and Dickory, but anything but disappointed. I love them so much! From Hickory being half country and actually being a centaur, to Dickory being an actual psycho who wants to see the world burn.

Anyways, I was very intrigued by Dickory’s design, so I was goaded into making my own interpretation of his design, and a little scene from the latest chapter. Living for the crossbow prosthetic. Best work I've ever read on AO3, impeccable work Ry!

i gwanna chew him up like gum

Ohh I can already see this feral branch vs feral rock zombie JD

Ooooo *inserts video of two feral cats fighting*😂

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

jd doodle requests from twt

^^MY MOOTIE REQUESTED THIS ONE OF MY GUY GRUB N JD

This, but also knowing full well my stuff is just kicking the reader while they’re down, then giving them a little smooch on the forehead.😂

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day

Is everything that everyone left on the comet section of Great Decisions , John Dory's Quick and Concise Guide on How To Survive  and It's Like You're My Mirror true

I like to think everything I confirm in the comment sections are true to canon! Buuuuuuuut take them with a grain of salt. Anything not in the story is subject to change if my mind changes! Does that make sense?

I do my best to stay true to the story any time I’m answering comments, but I wouldn’t doubt I make mistakes sometimes! Typically I’m a bit sleep deprived when answering comments lol. But for most part, I would say yes!

OOOOOH Barb. OOOOOOOOOH BARB!!! You are sooo luck Branch was not there! If he walked in on the middle of that, oh boy!

Barb better be counting her days when Branch shows up, that boy is going to be PISSED. I like to think that when angry, Branch can be just as dangerous as John Dory. If JD’s anger is hot, and blazing, Branch’s is cold, and ruthless.

He is not going to take this lightly.

THE NEWS CHAPTER JUST KILLED MEEEEEEE I FEEL SO BAD FOR HICKORY, MY BOY 😭😭😭

AND JOHN, GOD

I NEED THEM RECONCILIED OR I'M GONNA DIE LIKE DICKORY'S ARM

The poor guy, DID YOU SEE HIS SAD PUPPY FACE IN THE MOVIE?! Hickory can join John Dory on the “Great Decisions” bus, that’s for sure😂 Poor little goat boy, I was pretty mean to him…

NOT DICKORY’S ARM😂 But I wouldn’t worry too much. If there’s anything John Dory understands… It’s that people can make mistakes. What matters is if you’re willing to do what it takes to fix them!

I wouldn't be surprised if hickory cut dickory out of his life forever after what happened

Oho, complicated brotherly relationships my beloved… Definitely some strain on our Yodeler bois. What Dickory’s done will not be forgiven easily, that’s for sure!

Ooh!!!! I don’t know if I’d rather sock a Rock Troll in the face or strangle one with my hair if I was a Troll. I’m usually a peaceful person, BUT the Rock Trolls muzzling John Dory?! That’s where I draw the line!!! 😡😤😡😤😡😤

In their defense… He did bite them😂

But fr, RELEASE MY BOI HE DID NOTHING WRONG! At least they took it off pretty quick, that man did NOT need anymore things to panic about!

What's more big brother than bullying your baby bro...

i love you family moments i love you john and branch

I don't know if you answered this already but what would great decisions John dory feel about Canon John dory?

The way this quote immediately popped into my head, and I HAD to draw it, tell me this wouldn’t be their dynamic…

Ok ok, I’m sorry, but ooooo this is interesting! Yeesh, uh… He might kinda… Have mixed feelings about the guy.

On one hand, I feel like Canon!JD has a lot of that cocky arrogance that GD!John Dory does not. And he defo would NOT appreciate nor approve of how he treats Branch, or how he acts like he did nothing wrong.

He could also be a bit jealous, deep down. Canon!JD still has a lot of issues, but he’s a lot more put together than GD!John Dory. It would probably be hard to see, an image of what he could’ve been (Not a great image, again, but somebody who appears to be doing a LOT better than him!) He’d see all his faults out in the open, which isn’t the most amazing thing to see.

But on the other hand… They have the same humor. They have similar childhoods, and I’ll bet they could at least chat a bit and form some sort of bond. (Can defo see Canon!JD being like “Dude, bro, I don’t say this lightly, but I think you need like, professional help”😂)

But at the end of the day, I’ll bet the word GD!John Dory would use to describe him would be… Frustrating.

What happened to Dickory's arms?

Great question!

In the same avalanche that killed he and Hickory’s mother, he nearly lost his life as well! Fun fact, Hickory and their father (who I like to think was named “Doc”), have cloven goat hooves, and were able to navigate the mountain terrain better versus Dickory and their mother (who I like to think was named “Mouse”), have thicker horse hooves, and struggle a bit more. So when the avalanche came, they didn’t escape it in time.

Dickory was not only trapped under the snow, but his right arm was crushed by a rock. His Dad managed to dig him out, but his arm was beyond saving. So he kinda… Cut it off. But now he has a sick crossbow arm so… Cool! It also shoots nets/rope to trap people!

The survivalist

JD's weapons are more deadly because he's usually on the move, discovering new territories.

While Branch prioritize defense and only remained in the territory surrounding Pop village and his bunker.

They r both a little insane

*listening to music* hey that was a fic title

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!

I just wanted to ask, what did the Funk Trolls think of the pop trolls before Cooper showed up? Also can you tell us a bit more about Cooper's reunion with his family? ( I'm just guessing that Queen Essence is the blood heir while King Quincy is more like King Consort Quincy.)

ABSOLUTELY I CAN!!!

So, the Funk Trolls keep mostly to themselves, like the other troll tribes. But they took it even a step further by building their ship, which like Queen Essence says, sorta keeps them “above it all”. Because of infighting, disagreements, and overall intolerance that grew between the tribes due to their isolation from each other, the Funk Trolls ultimately decided to build this place to escape it all. Due to this, they’re hardly ever seen by the other troll tribes, thus Hickory calling them “elusive”. But I will say they teach peace and harmony on their ship, and they aren’t as intolerant of other trolls as say, some of the Country Trolls.

They do have a good idea as to what’s going on, however, checking in on the other tribes every so often by chatting with sub-genre trolls who pass through their territory.

As to what they thought of Pop… They didn’t. The Pop Trolls going missing had become almost a Trolling’s tale amongst most Troll Tribes. Nobody really knew what happened to them, but at the same time… Nobody looked. Pop Trolls were thought to be greedy, sneaky, and a bit air-headed, and the fear was if they found the other tribes, they’d just steal their music again. So nobody went to find them.

Truth be told, if Cooper hadn’t reunited with his family BEFORE they spotted Poppy and them on the raft… They likely never would have found the Funk Trolls, because the Funk Trolls simply wouldn’t have interacted with them. But Cooper’s reunion and subsequent detailing of how the Pop Trolls saved and raised him, a Troll different from their own tribe, despite their own hardships at the time (maybe a year after they escaped from the Troll Tree), changed their hearts.

Their reunion was very heartfelt. It was Prince D who spotted his brother standing dazed in the Glittersand Desert, and made his parents land. And they were absolutely elated. Cooper and his father have very similar types of humor, immediately cracking jokes, and Queen Essence could not stop smooching him! Prince D was already planning out some twin pranks they could pull…

Cooper explained everything in the way Cooper would: Dramatically, and with a big smile on his face! His parents were horrified to say the least when they heard where Pop had been all this time. Queen Essence (who you’re right, is the blood Queen), was already considering going against her ancestor’s laws that preach staying out of other troll’s affairs, and going to find the Pop Trolls to help them, when Cooper spotted Poppy on the raft with Prince D.

All super fun stuff that I could not for the life of me try to find a way to tie into the story, so I’m SO glad you asked! Seriously, I got a whole WORLD in my head, it’s crazy in here!

Follow up I also think we should let John Dory kill someone. It would be good for the economy.

“Great Decisions” John Dory if he was allowed to kill someone, or multiple someones:

I think we should put John Dory in the crystal jar and see what happens

BOLD SUGGESTION

That poor boy is already on such a struggle bus, that might kill him😂

“Something black hidden under Hickory’s ginger hair,” huh? I know in your story, you said Hickory’s a Centaur, but could it be possible that he and his brother are still the Yodelers? 😏

Or… Has Yodeler blood! Our dear Hickory is half and half, so he’s got traits from both genres! As for the black in his hair… 😈 Perhaps his Yodeler traits showing through!

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!

I have a feeling Viva would chew Barb out and Dickory and Hickory and John dory would almost chew out on the K-pop and the Reggaeton?

What do you think? 

Honestly, I believe JD and Viva chewing out anyone is valid, those two deserve to crash out fr!
