Semi-related But Each Time I Hear This Song I Get A Little Teary Eyed Cause Of The Movie I Saw The TV

The urge to rewrite the whole TTBGO and Trollstopia series through my Branches & Thorns AU is getting stronger and stronger the more I think about it. I blame that one Trollstopia rewrite on AO3 (with the bounty hunters and Poppy’s bad ideas being hated on) for this!!

I already have a basic timeline for the three movies. Why not include the series in that timeline as well? (If I do it’s gonna take me much longer to finish the AU series)

Least Favorite TTBGO Episode: The Bunker List

Lol no guys I haven’t updated any of my fics. I’m working on an edit but it’s going really slowly. To be fair, I’ve been busy this week. Not busy enough to watch TTBO and read Trolls fics tho LMAOOOO (mainly I’ve just been unmotivated)

Besides Hair-Jitsu, The Bunker List is one of my least favorite TTBGO episodes (I HATE IT (besides certain moments 😋)) because it’s just Branch giving into peer pressure and making it seem like it’s only his fault for rushing through his bunker list. Guy Diamond and Smidge are annoyed at Branch for not doing things on his bunker list which, to an extent, is valid. Branch needs to get out more, but we’re talking about Branch here. The same Branch that was gray for 20 years. It’s not going to be easy for him to go through the list when he struggles so much with ‘basic’ social cues/expectations.

It’s not like he isn’t attempting to be more social either. He’s actually made good progress since the first episode.

Branch only made the bet because Guy Diamond and Smidge had gotten on him for not wanting to do things on his list. When he first said to give him a year to do the things, they scoffed and rolled their eyes. A year isn’t that long to complete a bucket list though? Especially not for someone like Branch who, again, was gray and miserable for 20 years. Poppy made a good point with telling him to do the list at his own pace. (She is surprisingly wise for a Pop troll surrounded by excessive positivity) I just wish they focused the lesson on not letting others get into your head over how you do things instead of ?? Idk whatever the lesson for that episode was.

What annoys me most out of that entire episode is that Branch still has to be humiliated in front of his friends (and only his friends thankfully bc seriously???? In front of everyone?!?!?! That was a horrible bet). They laugh at him when he tried to apologize (again, to an extent, fair bc he was being so aggressive towards his friends cause of wanting to finish his list on time). That was bad enough except then neither Smidge nor Guy Diamond apologized for pressuring him which really rubbed me the wrong way.

They were the whole reason Branch did all that. Poppy didn’t want the bet to happen yet they hair shook with Branch to make the bet official.

Several times throughout the TTBO and Trollstopia series Branch is made fun of for not being ‘normal’ or made the bad guy/blamed for stuff he didn’t do or wasn’t completely at fault for. I hate it so bad and this episode is one of the main examples of this. Ugh.

Also, I don’t completely like that bunker list bc of those same reasons. It’s a good idea but when Branch completes a part of the list the scrapbook says “One step closer to being normal!!”

. . .

Pop trolls try not to make Branch feel bad for being extremely socially inept due to 20 years of isolation, grayness, and trauma 🙀🙀 CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE ‼️‼️

Bro still isn’t his original colors of course he won’t be as happy as the other Pop trolls

Anyway, yeah, rant over. If you made it this far congrats on reading to me take a kids show way too seriously 🤗

Shhh the babies are sleeping

I SWEAR I SWEAARRRR I have seen Alcoholicpilot’s Ghost Brother AU on AO3 once. Or at least a fic with the Brozone brothers as ghosts? I scrolled past it but now I want to read it AND I CAN’T FIND IT!!! It’s almost 3 am right now and I’m desperately trying to find this fic. Like wdym I can’t find the fic of baby Branch seeing his dead brother(s) on AO3 I SWORE IT WAS THERE!!!! Was it? Did I imagine it??? GAHHHH I NEED TL FIND IT

Viktor gets snarky with Mel because he thinks Mel's cool stare is her looking down on him while Mel is trying her hardest to keep her cool and not to pounce on that man

(Jayce doesn't even bother trying to hide how much he wants Viktor, he fails each time)

He

maybe i should put golf balls in my pockets so i can hurl them at drivers who feel like theyre brave for taking the left turn while there's pedestrians crossing.

WHEN I STARTED SHIPPING MEL AND STEB I IMMEDIATELY IMAGINED THEM TO THIS SCENE

So glad someone actually drew it—I LOVE IT AEVEBSNSKLDMD

Someone mentioned this ship ONCE and it's plagued me

[Based off this post]

Newflash: I'm a Melvika AND a Melora truther.

I'm writing the scene where Mel and Jayce get it on (cue Marvin Gaye) and it's actually Elora who brings Jayce the news about Vik being in the hospital.

And Elora gives Jayce so much shade I'm laughing while writing this.

She's like "just so you know, you're not, like, the first hottie she's brought in there." and being soooo salty with it.

He's also like "Please tell Mel I had to leave for an emergency!"

She's like "Oh, yeah, sure, will totally do that, Councillor Talis."

She does not, in fact, do that.

That poor girl has been pining for like twenty years at that point. Jayvik pining got NOTHING on her.

Mel is still mute in the AU and Steb doesn't speak human language—silent fishy love <333

(their ship name is Goldfish which suits them more than Queenfish and I am literally the only one to call them Queenfish but idc RAA)
