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.
THIS LOOKS SO EPIC!!! You did an AMAZING job capturing this intense and dynamic scene🤯😭 We love when the feral man does feral stuff, it just brings me joy!!!
So so cool, thank you for all your kind words! So glad my story brings you so much joy!

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)
I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

It’s official, I’ve been utterly sucked into this fic….
I was in two minds of posting this because I worried about the blue blood of all things! I honestly love this concept from @rydoesartandstuff
If it’s too much let me know but I was so taken by this scene it seemed a shame to cut this action from it! Anyway, I’m rather proud of this one. One thing I love as much as angst to draw is something dynamic and full of action because I love a challenge and I live for movement. I just hope I’ve done the scene justice.
That growlbeast I tell you was a b*tch to get right though! I had reference it and get a size ratio for it, in regards to the trolls so I could get it as accurate in that respect that i could! Hope this is okay as well *hides*
(Oh, and this song I’ve included , I constantly listened to as I planned and drew this pic out. It was a great source of inspiration for the scene!
Hope you like it @rydoesartandstuff
I’m gonna go hide now and catch up writing my ‘Rescue Me’ fic!
I didn't like my last design for boy Poppy, so I redesigned him :3
Close ups under the cut
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.
Figured I’d do a little introduction post for this!

So, just to clarify, Hickory is not a centaur like the other country trolls. So is more of a Satyr troll, or he is centaur but goat features. Using @sandflakedraws Hickory design an example of a Satyr troll
Hickory is a centaur in this story!
But you’re right, he just has more goat-like features! I made a post with his design, but I’ll put it here as well!!! (Love the satyr design tho! But my version of Hickory is just a little different!)
His design is based on a mountain goat!
We love an image of Creek and Chef getting their just desserts😈
Here’s the scene like I said I did my best on the gruesome scene but the story is very intriguing keep up the good work.

Creek and chef Chyna have their comeuppance even though creeks karma he did betray the Trolls for freedom and something caught up for him.
The story The greatest decision by @rydoesartandstuff my sketch belongs to me. 
Hello, hi, today I’ve been thinking about Great Decisions!John Dory and Grandma Rosiepuff, specifically the two of them singing that part from “The Underwold” in Epic: The Musical where Odysseus sees his mother’s ghost. Even tho their relationship was rocky, she was still his Grandmother, and he was her Grandson. And they loved each other. I like to think that one of her biggest regrets was letting him walk out that door.
But she never gave up on him. She always knew he’d come back someday. And when he did, she could tell him two very important things:
“I love you.”, and “I’m sorry.”
If I have to suffer, so do all of you
I'm anxious about the JD&Hickory drama about to unfold but the thing I actually can't stop thinking about is that we're about to find out that Cooper found his long lost family which includes... a brother!
I mean JD is gonna be happy for him but... ouch! Talk about others living your dream am I right?
You are SO right!
Might just be a little jab to John Dory’s already aching heart! Cooper living out the dream… These next few chapters might be a bit hard on our boy.
😭😭😭
Your fanfics are masterpieces that I absolutely love and adore. I reread them all the time, for me they are the greatest fiction I have ever read.
While I was rereading "Great Decisions" I was thinking about how JD will act towards Velvet and Veneer, looking at how he goes with critters and Chef I can't wait to read all about it !!!
Thank you so much for writing such amazing pieces of art :D
Oh my gosh, thank you for all your kind words!!! I put my heart and soul into everything I write, so it’s always nice to hear that the passion shines through!
Oh, I’m VERY excited for Velvet and Veneer! They are going to be SO fun to write, and any interactions between them and JD will defo be hype! They’d better be on their BEST FUCKING BEHAVIOR (But we know they won’t be😈)
You are so very welcome! Thank you for reading it!💜
I make art and write on AO3! Check it out @rytheoneandonly
