I LOVE HIM SO MUCH?! THAT SAD LITTLE MAN!? MY SHAYLA😩🙌🙏 ALSO HICKORY MY BELOVED STOP IM DYING

love when characters are so entrenched in their own self loathing that they believe themselves to have some inherent trait that causes them to fuck everything up rather than it being a result of them never trying bc they assume they're going to fail anyway

Sorry I'm asking so much lore stuff, but I love picking your brain (Let me know if you want to slow down or anything) My next question is, are Brandi and Bruce's kids genetically theirs or adopted? The reason I ask is because of all the stuff they could inherit from Bruce's side of the family. Can they sing great? Would they have drug like qualities that a Troll seems to have? Not to mention stuff that just effects Bruce's family rather than all trolls. Like Clay's seemingly hinted at, high functioning autism could have jumped a generation from their parents, over Bruce and to his kids. Or John's dyslexia. Or John's Schizophrenia. Then there's also the Genetic Trauma (epigenetics) from generations of Trolls living in the Troll tree during Bergen occupation.

Oooo I like this one! (Imma write this how I see it in the “Great Decisions” lore!)

I like to headcanon that yes, they are genetically theirs, just because in the movie, they have Bruce’s ears, and trademark front swoops of his hair! I also like to think they have tails as well, and are a bit shorter than normal Vacaytioners.

More into troll lore, I think Bruce’s kids were born from eggs. Also, Bruce carried ALL their eggs, that’s why he’s got such big hair! Troll eggs are born from love, and well, Bruce has A LOT of love for Brandy, and for his kids. Brandy helped take over once the eggs detached, and were a bit too big for Bruce to carry.

Fun fact, all his kids are musically inclined! Just not always in singing. Some of them are just really good at playing instruments, or even writing music! They perform in the restaurant sometimes, which gives Bruce… Mixed feelings. But he’s always very supportive.

And another fun fact, Brandy is as tone deaf as they come. Remember that scene from Rio, with the toucan couple? That’s Bruce and Brandy. He absolutely loves her voice; it always sounded beautiful to him!

The genetics kind of stop there. I like to think at least one of Bruce’s kids has dyslexia, but other than that, they “dodged a genetic bullet” per se. No “troll drug” capabilities, no early warning signs of schizophrenia. What they did inherit was Brandy’s need to babble about anything and everything. Lucky for them, Bruce is more than happy to listen!

Ahhhhh I love this family! And you’re good with the questions! It just takes me a while to answer sometimes😅

One more fun fact I leave you with… In the BroZone family, Pine carried JD, Spruce, and Branch as eggs. Sunny carried Clay and Floyd! Idk, it doesn’t really matter plot wise, but that’s just how I see it in my brain!

(Also, any time I say “fun fact”, please read is in Tug Duluth’s voice from the Trolls tv show, it just makes everything better😂)

Sad book club meeting :thumbsup:

I wanted to ask about Tiny Diamond! You said in your Au trolls are born of love, so I was wondering how Tiny came to be. Who did Guy love? Dose he have a partner? Did one of his friend's surrogate? Can you become eggnant with self love, aka just making a genetic copy of you as your kid? Can eggs happen accidentally, or is it always intentional?

ABSOLUTELY!

You are right, Tiny was born from self love! Trolls can either have kids with a partner, or simply just because they love themselves, and want one! In Guy Diamonds case, that’s what is was! Love for himself, and a desire to love/have a kid to love!

Typically, eggs are formed from a strong love/bond between two trolls, and they typically are intentional. However, accidents can happen. Take the BroZone family for example.

John Dory, Spruce, Clay, and Floyd were all intentionally formed from Pine and Sunny’s love for one another (Not necessarily a desire to have kids, considering Pine didn’t really want them). Branch, however, was an “accident”, due to an intense surge of love Pine felt for Sunny for “believing him”, per se.

As we know, Pine went a little off the deep end towards the end there, and he was convinced the world was against him. But Sunny always stayed by his side. From his love for her just being with him through everything, Branch popped up. It doesn’t always happen, but Trolls who have eggs together before are more likely to have “accidents” like that happen.

Idk if that made sense, I tried, I still don’t have it completely fleshed out lol

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!

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.

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!

An animatic I made a WHILE ago about my story! Figured you guys might like it as well!

im wondering! will you do anything with the whole 'wish you were here' card? i know thags like. forever away, but still

There will be a postcard! But maybe not exactly the same postcard that was in the movie…

I seriously cannot wait for the third movie ahhhhh I’m so impatient with my OWN DAMN WRITING-

One thing I think about a lot with the Trollz movie lore (and its fanfictions by default.) is laws and troll 'personhood'. Clearly most societies in Trollz seems to be un-united monarchies (Save for maybe Vacay Island and Mount Rageous.) which means their laws and jurisdiction don't extent past their boarders. This explains why Bergens were able to not grant the Trolls personhood and could do as they pleased with them but the Vacaytioners and Mount Rageons 'seemingly' do have laws to protect trolls. MY question to you is, when Bruce told Brandi what happened to him, do you think he and Brandi tried to do something about it? Tell Vacaytioner goverment maybe? I dunno if I'm wording this right, it kinds word soup! Just want your thoughts on this!

Personally, I think Trolls are treated as “second-class” citizens by pretty much all of the species that are bigger than them, like they’re not really people.

With the Bergens, that of course changed when the truce came about, and Bruce and Brandy were the forerunners of Trolls being treated equally by the Vacaytioners (Who i like to think hadn’t even SEEN a troll before him, except maybe a techno troll in passing). With the Mt. Rageons, the thoughts are kinda the same, that trolls are just kinda fun, cute little creatures, but they’re not really PEOPLE. After the events of movie three, I think Poppy was the forefront on the movement that trolls were people too!

As for Bruce and Brandy, and what they did after Bruce spilled the beans about what the Bergens did, I like to think Brandy did bring it up to some of the Vacaytioners without Bruce knowing. I don’t really think those guys have a government, they’re just more of a commune. They kind of dismissed her (she was still pretty young at the time), and their response was pretty much along the lines of “We can’t force another group of people to change”, and didn’t do much about it.

But Brandy is fiercely protective of Bruce, and made a lot of accommodations for him in her family’s restaurant, and will call out ANYONE who treats him as lesser. (He tells her it’s not necessary, but he truly appreciates it💜🧡)

I’m sorry, this is also just word soup, but hopefully I answered it ok!!!
