✨Ry Here!✨

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!

Hi, Ry. I came across your Trolls story "Great Decisions" and read the full thing. It was very interesting and just couldn't stop reading it till I got to the last chapter. The ending, however...I'm worried about John Dory. Branch may have his colors back, but he doesn't. Plus his thought of Branch not needing him anymore concerns me. I guess I'm just wondering what's gonna happen to him in the next story based on the 2nd movie?

Hi! I’m so glad you like the story!!! Heh heh… You are right to be worried about that man. I won’t give too much away, but there’s definitely a shift in JD’s mental health following the first movie, and into the second.

I like to think that going into Movie One, his mental health definitely wasn’t great, but he was at a point in his life where he just became acclimated to the way things were. He had a purpose, and even if their life wasn’t perfect, he liked it. It was comfortable, and predictable. He wasn’t happy, but he was content.

Movie One has thrown a lot of change his way, plus a lot of added mental strain, both from the past (Which he still hasn’t dealt with) and the present (Which he refuses to acknowledge), and the epilogue of Movie One and going into Movie Two is going to reflect that strain.

I’m really excited for you to see where this goes! But for now, stay tuned!

Here, a doodle for your good vibes!

writing is 10% storytelling and 90% rearranging three sentences for an hour like you're trying to solve an ancient curse

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!

Randomly remembered this quote and it made my mind go brrrr…

It was too good not to draw😂 It fits the vibes of the next few chapters so well! And wanted to try some shading anyways lol

Do you have any drawings of Sprig and Birch?

I don’t! But I’d like to, at some point, make some drawings of some of the original characters in “Great Decisions”! But I can at least give you a description of them!!!

Birch: A light green troll with freckles, and wavy yellow hair. Typically seen wearing multicolored headbands to hold back his hair while he works, and long, blue joggers.

Sprig: A light green troll with darker green hair, typically with bright flowers woven into it. Usually seen wearing a loose, sparkly white vest, and light blue shorts.

I do love designing me some background characters!!!

JD WITH GLASSES! i luv that hc sm

I found out at my last eye appointment that I have astigmatism along with the near-sightedness so naturally I have to pass the same curse down to him

LOOK AT HIM!!!😭 This poor man is going to have so many back problems from all that trauma he’s carrying… Man’s needs a chiropractor. But for real, THIS IS SO COOL!!!

Just love my old man in this fic -> Great Decisions by @rydoesartandstuff

"I love characters who make mistakes" you cant even handle John Dory

…Can we just pretend this is funny?

The idea came to me and I couldn’t help but draw it, so enjoy this thing I made in the span of a few hours! I’m going to actually go work on writing now😅

(Click on photo for higher quality it kinda look bad lmao)
