If John Dory, Branch, Poppy, And Rhonda Are On The Raft With Hickory, Then I’m Gonna Assume That It’s

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

Ooooo *inserts video of two feral cats fighting*😂

What would have happened if King Peppy decided to tell Clay about his grandmother's (And Branch's apparent) passing before Trollstis?

Clay would have absolutely freaked.

King Peppy was right in a certain regard, that Clay would not have handled the death of his Grandmother and (apparently) his little brother well. We will delve more into this in the story, but Clay’s mental state at the time wasn’t exactly great either, for multiple reasons. And he had his reasons for not interacting with his little brother during this time.

Had he been told the truth, it’s likely Clay would have completely broken down. The fact that not only was his baby bro gone, but he hadn’t talked to him MONTHS before it happened, the guilt would have eaten him alive.

I imagine after being told, he’d accuse King Peppy of lying, and go check for himself. Just to find a seemingly empty pod (It took a couple days for baby Branch to crawl back up the tree). He’d leave, and lock himself in his room in King Peppy’s pod until the Great Escape, snapping at anyone who tried to comfort him, too overwhelmed is his own anger, guilt, and grief to care about anything else.

He’d only make it out of the Tree because Viva forced him too.

But I’d like to imagine even if Clay didn’t run back for his brother, Viva would have run back anyways to help her father/the other Trolls. Either way, they’d still end up separated.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

JD laughing because why not

don’t really care for his design if I’m being honest, definitely gonna dabble in some other stuff to get it right— might draw his brothers in the future

Oooo, ok, I’ll do my best! Some I won’t really answer because of spoilers, but I’ll try!

1.) Yes, it will! But he’ll also be very conflicted too…

2.) Eventually!!!

3.) Spoilers…

4.) Absolutely!!!

5.) Yes, he will!

6.) Mmmm they’ll have some tough feelings for sure…

7.) Eventually!!!

8.) They likely already do, in different ways.

9.) She will indeed! He’s practically her older brother too!

10.) They will, eventually!

Sorry to give such vague answers, I don’t want to give too much away! Thanks for the Q’s!

I just listened to Wutiwant and the last part of the song goes really well with your John Dory. But like, really well

Oh wow, it does! Especially the line “Was that really you next to me?”, I keep imagining that with his brothers, especially Spruce. And not to be super specific, but that time JD was sitting outside Branch’s room when they first moved into the Bunker and Hallucination!Spruce showed up…

Ah! Thanks for getting my brain brewing! This begs the question… Should I make a post with a bunch of songs that inspire/remind me of “Great Decisions”?

Why does Branch still wear Floyd's vest

Good questions, considering Branch seems to despise his brother in this story. The answer?

Because he could never truly hate them. And still misses them.

As much as he emotionally distances himself from his brothers and everything about them, they’re still his brothers. And a part of him still misses them, still yearns to see them again, for them to come home. It’s a part of him he tries very hard to ignore.

But he can’t take off the vest. Floyd told him to wear it whenever he missed them. And he still does.

They’re fighting over who’s Branch’s favorite brother. Floyd knows it’s him

my beautiful wife, he has 50 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces

Life:

The world is falling apart, the government is crashing, you have a presentation due, and there’s another delightful week of school, work, and other messes ahead…

Me, who has priorities, picking up the thirty Trolls Mineez I just knocked over, holding back tears as I try to stand their stupid tiny colorful asses back up, hands shaking with enough caffeine to kill a horse:

Just give me a goddamn minute ok-
