Click to see them better. Or don't. Probably don't.
~Boop! (I kinda gave up once I got the Branch lol)
So in the 4th part of my mini fic, Synth mentioned that he had a twin sister who died because he wasn't paying attention, so um... I drew this. He's a sad boi.... (made his colors really muted too cuz.... sad)
Can't Keep It a Secret Forever (Part 4)
Branch sat by the edge of Techno Lake and kicked his feet around in it.
He looked up at the starry night sky and sighed.
“I miss you,” He whispered quietly.
“Sup, Dubstep?” Synth jumped out of the lake like a dolphin.
Branch jumped up in surprise, and laughed a little. Then he looked back down at the ground again.
Synth’s usual smile faded away. He hopped up onto land and sat himself next to Branch.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
Branch looked at him and then looked away, “Nothing,” he muttered.
“Hey,” Synth turned Branch’s face to him, “I can see something’s wrong,”
Branch looked at him, but stayed silent.
“You can tell me anything, Dubs. Even the serious stuff! I can be serious,” He said as a glowstick fell out of this hair, “Uh, I can be serious SOMETIMES,”
Branch chuckled and sighed, “I sorta said it in that little speech,” He looked away from him, “I lost my colors when I was about 3 or 4,”
Synth’s eyes widened, “Really?”
“Yeah. I felt responsible for my grandma’s death. Even though I knew she made the choice herself, she wouldn’t have had to make that choice if it hadn’t been for me. I was just so sad and angry, that it just kind of…took over.”
Branch looked up at Synth who had an understanding look in his eyes, though Branch didn’t understand why.
“I stayed that way for 20 years. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I regained them,”
Synth’s jaw dropped, “WHAT? That’s so long!” He wrapped his arms around his tail, “When the strings broke and we all lost our colors it was terrible. I felt so… empty and broken, “He looked at Branch with watery eyes, “You were like that for 20 years?”
Branch nodded sadly and looked down at the ground, "The sadness still comes back sometimes. And today is one of those days," He looked up at the sky, "Today was her birthday…"
Synth wrapped his arms around Branch, “I’m sorry,” he said pulling away, “I… I know what it’s like to lose a family member,” Synth whispered.
Branch looked up surprised, “You do?”
Synth nodded, “I had a twin sister. Her name was Wave. We partied together. Laughed together. We spent so much time together, that instead of calling us our separate names, people just mashed them together. We became Synthwave,”
“Sounds like you two were really close,”
“We were. Then one day, I was so lost in the beat, I didn’t see that glittershark coming, or hear Wave warning me. And she,” Synth’s voice broke. He wiped the tears that were flowing from his eyes, swallowed the lump in his throat and continued, “She pushed me out of the way,” Synth’s eyes went wide and he shivered, “I can still hear her screams…”
Branch sat stunned. Another troll, who had lost a loved one almost the same way as him.
He had thought of Synth as this party animal who didn’t have a care in the world, when really, he was using his beats and raves to keep his sadness at bay.
Branch grabbed Synth’s face, just as Synth had done with his, and turned it towards him.
“Hey, I’m here for you,” He pulled Synth closer, so close that their noses nearly touched, "I'll always be here for you,"
Then he pressed his lips to Synth's.
Synth's eyes widened in surprise, and Branch broke away from him.
"I-I'm sorry. It was too soon wasn't it?" Branch laid his head in his hands, "Dangit Branch, you ruin everything,"
Synth pulled Branch's head up and gave him a smirk, "Dubs? I've been hoping for that since the flavorberry patch. You had perfect timing," then he pulled Branch into a deeper kiss.
OoOooOOOooo, I hope you enjoyed this! I'm probably going to revisit this 'Lost Twin Sister' thing, it's pretty interesting. (Notice how I said LOST not dead? 🤔) I know Synth's story is basically the same as Branch's, but… eh.
Can't Keep It a Secret Forever (part 3)
They were all looking at him.
Every trolls' gaze was focused on him.
He could see them whispering. Pointing. LOOKING at him.
Branch hated being watched. That's why he made the fear bunker and planted all the cameras around the village. So he'd be the one with the advantage. He'd be the one watching.
And to make things worse, a few of them had that look on their face. That look Branch despised so much.
Pity.
That look they gave him when his grandmother first died.
Pity.
That look they gave him when he told him why he had gone grey all those years ago.
Pity.
That look they gave him when that stupid song that ruined his whole life came on.
He didn't need their pity.
He didn't want their pity.
He wanted to be a normal troll.
And he thought meeting all the new tribes could make that dream a reality, but no. His past ruined that too.
And- wait, did he say all of that out loud?
Branch felt his heart stop.
No, no, nonono. I did NOT just do that.
The look spread from troll to troll.
Branch stepped backwards, desperate to escape all these sad faces and open arms.
I never should have come.
Poppy stepped towards Branch, "I'm so sorry Branch, I-"
"No! Didn't you hear my accidental speech?"
Poppy paused, "Yes, but I-"
"Then why are you doing it still? Why are you treating me like some injured cuddlepup?"
"I just want to make sure you're okay!"
Tears rolled down Branch's face, "I'm FINE,"
He looked over at the delegates and sighed, "I'm sorry Lownote. Holly. Dante. Val. Synth…." His voice cracked on the last name, "I'm sorry you had to see me like this,"
Then he spun around and ran off.
Tears streamed down Poppy's face, "I just wanted to help him,"
Holly walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Maybe you're not the right troll for that,"
Poppy turned to Holly, wrapped her arms around her and sobbed.
Synth stood stunned. He didn't realize how… sad Branch was.
I've gotta go after him.
There ya go! Part 3. Still not really done, but this part was SO MUCH BETTER than part 2. You guys good with some Brynth?
Can't Keep It a Secret Forever (Part 2)
Music was blasting. Trolls were dancing. Everyone was having a great time.
The delegates stood by the wall, watching everyone partying, and keeping an eye out for Branch.
"Huh, though he'd be here by now," Val mumbled.
"Yeah," Synth agreed, "It's not like Dubstep to be late,"
"Agreed!"
Poppy noticed them standing by the wall and walked over.
"Hey! No wall flowering!" She said with her hands on her hips.
"We planned the party, we can do whatever we'd like, Miss-"
Holly slapped a hand over Val's mouth before she could say anything she'd regret.
"Remember, Val," she whispered, "She's a queen,"
Val pushed Holly's hand away, and crossed her arms.
Poppy stared at Val for a moment and shook her head, amused.
"Anyway, have you guys seen Branch?"
The delegates shook their heads in synch.
"That's why we're standing here. We promised Branch we'd wait for him,"
Poppy looked at them confused, "That's weird, Branch hasn't missed a single party since regaining his-" Poppy put her hand over her mouth.
Holly looked at her confused, "Since regaining his what?"
Uh oh. Shouldn't have said that, Poppy thought to herself.
"Is he hiding something from us?"
Branch specifically told me not to mention his colors...
Before Poppy could try to fix the mess that she had made, the music stopped.
Trolls gasped and children ran to their parents.
They all spun around to see what was the matter.
"Oh-"
"My-"
"GLOWSTICKS!" Synth finished, distracting everyone for a moment.
"Glowsticks?"
"Yeah! Want one?" He offered, pulling one out of his hair.
"Um, not right now," Poppy declined, then spun back around to look at the troll who caused this chaos to unfold.
"Is that… Branch?" Val asked, puzzled.
Poppy nodded.
The same question was on all of their minds.
"Why is he…" Synth trailed off.
"Grey?"
I didn’t want to make it too long soooo, I guess we might need a part 3... Only if you guys want it! (P.S. If i make a part 3, it’ll probably have some ship stuff in it. I want to do it with one of the delegates tho [sorry Broppy lovers ;( ] I guess you could comment a ship if you’d like. I’m thinking Branchxsynth or BranchxLownote. Dunno tho)
Can't Keep It a Secret Forever
Branch looked in the mirror and sighed.
Maybe they won't notice… he thought to himself.
Ugh, who am I kidding? Of course they'll notice.
Branch looked down at his hands. They were the same color they had been for those 20 terrible years after his grandmother had died.
He was used to turning grey every so often. But this time was worse.
He had agreed to come to a party the day before. A party being put on by the delegates.
He had done his best to hide his past from them, so they wouldn't think of him as this sad, grey, miserable troll, but now it didn't matter.
If he showed up grey, he'd be forced to tell them what was wrong.
If he didn't show up, they'd know that he was keeping something from them.
He turned off the lights in his bunker and got onto the elevator.
They already know there's something different about me. They've seen my bunker.
He climbed out of the bunker and stood there for a moment.
It'll be fine… he tried to reassure himself. But he knew it was a lie.
He began to walk towards the village, mentally preparing himself for what was about to unfold.
Did I do ok? Should I make a part two? I hope it wasn't too terrible.
No one:
My brain: uhhhh Hickory slapping Gust with a giant fly swatter...
I was thinking about Branch's country outfit in that one episode of Trollstopia, and this post @hickoppy made about Branch taking Hickory's hat for it, so I made this. There's definitely some problems with it, but I made it without any references so cut me some slack lol. (Also, Hickory's legs in the sketch are very...long. he had some boots on, but I hated them so I had to glue paper over them lol)
Sooo Branch is Will Graham
every troll imaginable staring at branch: he has the looks of a depressed english professor and the soul of a whore
When your own friend gives you extreme cuteness aggression!
Idea by @rocksibblingsau :3 hiiiii

Just born and already got a face of 100% done with every living being
So...giant woman, am i right?
Beast Curse AU
Rock Troll pov of the curse effects, it started in a unknown way in Volcano city and it begined to spread trough all troll kingdoms. After the curse, not knowing exactly what it would do with them in the end, the cursed trolls only knew that the only way of how to free themselves from the curse was by killing all the affected trolls, so they started to threat, kidnap or even kill the non-affected trolls that dare to came closer to their territory to try to find the "solution" for the "beast virus" (since no one actually know if its a curse for real, but no one knew where or how it started so they begin to call it like that)
The Beast Curse can spread by any scar or wound made by a cursed troll or with any contact with their internal DNA (like sweat, tears, saliva, etc)
The non-affected trolls are called Hunters by the beast trolls because of how they see them by the fear of being chased and hunted by them if the hunter trolls ever find out how to free the troll kingdoms from the curse. And from time to time, the common trolls beggined to call themselves like that too, but with their vision of hunting meaning to hunt for a cure or even bless to beat the suppost virus or curse from the, called by them, "beast trolls" or "curse victims".
(In this AU all trolls have diff tails, so if they get infected by the curse they just get bigger or fluffier tails)
Note: AU free to use and make yall own character designs for it if interested, but please credit me!
Bonus:
how i see these two in my AU! hope you like it mootie!! @snyderside

Thaynara's Família 💛
+Barb
The triplets are Thay's youngest siblings and they're all adopted (with no name yet), except for her younger brother who is her only biological family member (and also has no name yet lol)
And the leader of one of the Brazilian Music troll tribes, Thaynara's adopted grandma and teacher:
Originaly Thaynara and her brother are Maracatu Trolls, but as they were raised by Belmira, they got attached and created a special place in their hearts for all the Brazilian Music tribes and their cultures.
Me? Obssessed with a ship with an oc insert?
Obviously.
(based on my last post)
They were getting ready for a date
Them in a nutshell
Also, Thaynara's final design:
Noticed i've never posted this here and this is just her main look (cause my fashionist wannabe ass could never let her with just one outfit) Im planning to make her a decent profile soon!
Also i know that Brazilian music have more than just one style (im brazilian lol) but Thay likes and were raised between many types of music so i just call her a brazilian music troll for short
Y'know what? I don't care anymore
*Scrapbooks my Tharb*
