I Don't Know If You Answered This Already But What Would Great Decisions John Dory Feel About Canon John

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-

I wanted to ask about Tiny Diamond! You said in your Au trolls are born of love, so I was wondering how Tiny came to be. Who did Guy love? Dose he have a partner? Did one of his friend's surrogate? Can you become eggnant with self love, aka just making a genetic copy of you as your kid? Can eggs happen accidentally, or is it always intentional?

ABSOLUTELY!

You are right, Tiny was born from self love! Trolls can either have kids with a partner, or simply just because they love themselves, and want one! In Guy Diamonds case, that’s what is was! Love for himself, and a desire to love/have a kid to love!

Typically, eggs are formed from a strong love/bond between two trolls, and they typically are intentional. However, accidents can happen. Take the BroZone family for example.

John Dory, Spruce, Clay, and Floyd were all intentionally formed from Pine and Sunny’s love for one another (Not necessarily a desire to have kids, considering Pine didn’t really want them). Branch, however, was an “accident”, due to an intense surge of love Pine felt for Sunny for “believing him”, per se.

As we know, Pine went a little off the deep end towards the end there, and he was convinced the world was against him. But Sunny always stayed by his side. From his love for her just being with him through everything, Branch popped up. It doesn’t always happen, but Trolls who have eggs together before are more likely to have “accidents” like that happen.

Idk if that made sense, I tried, I still don’t have it completely fleshed out lol

Honestly I think one of the best things about your writing is how you do tend to force jd to suffer through the worst kind of torture. Actually having to talk through his emotions.

Like in my head I have this fun little idea of some secret potion being used and it showing his brothers what jd sees and thinks (in kinda like a body swap way). And boom someone sees what he sees and is like ‘uh jd wtf’

But I am very excited to see how he’s going to have to talk about it! It’s going to be agonizing for him and I can only hope he figures out the right words to do it.

Ahhhh right?! Like give this man the WORST mental torture, but the hardest thing is making him ACTUALLY talk about it!

Ooooo and I do like your idea! Something like that, or maybe like a Truth Serum Cloudguy sneaks into his drink, and he just starts spewing out a bunch of feelings he’s kept on lock for 20 years?! I love it, give me fourteen of them right now!!!

But I’m so glad you’re liking the story! It’ll defo be agonizing for him, so I wonder to what point he’ll have to be pushed to actually start talking about his feelings?! Ooooooo

MORE DEER TROLLS!!!

Bruce is my favorite :3

Awwww so cute, I love this scene so much! Writing John Dory and Bruce will always be one of my favorite things💜 THANK YOU!!!

“Yeah…” John Dory said with a grimace, thinking back to his dream and his father’s death grip on his shoulder. “He was a jerk.”

“He was broken.”

Broken… John Dory’s eyes shot wide open, as if he’d been slapped. The word seemed to slice through John Dory’s heart, leaving it open and bleeding.

“When Mom died, something just broke inside him.” Bruce continued, his face grim. “Something that couldn't be fixed. It wasn’t any of our faults. He was just broken beyond repair.”

Forgot about this wip! based on a scene from John Dory's Quick and Consise Guide on How To Survive

One thing I think about a lot with the Trollz movie lore (and its fanfictions by default.) is laws and troll 'personhood'. Clearly most societies in Trollz seems to be un-united monarchies (Save for maybe Vacay Island and Mount Rageous.) which means their laws and jurisdiction don't extent past their boarders. This explains why Bergens were able to not grant the Trolls personhood and could do as they pleased with them but the Vacaytioners and Mount Rageons 'seemingly' do have laws to protect trolls. MY question to you is, when Bruce told Brandi what happened to him, do you think he and Brandi tried to do something about it? Tell Vacaytioner goverment maybe? I dunno if I'm wording this right, it kinds word soup! Just want your thoughts on this!

Personally, I think Trolls are treated as “second-class” citizens by pretty much all of the species that are bigger than them, like they’re not really people.

With the Bergens, that of course changed when the truce came about, and Bruce and Brandy were the forerunners of Trolls being treated equally by the Vacaytioners (Who i like to think hadn’t even SEEN a troll before him, except maybe a techno troll in passing). With the Mt. Rageons, the thoughts are kinda the same, that trolls are just kinda fun, cute little creatures, but they’re not really PEOPLE. After the events of movie three, I think Poppy was the forefront on the movement that trolls were people too!

As for Bruce and Brandy, and what they did after Bruce spilled the beans about what the Bergens did, I like to think Brandy did bring it up to some of the Vacaytioners without Bruce knowing. I don’t really think those guys have a government, they’re just more of a commune. They kind of dismissed her (she was still pretty young at the time), and their response was pretty much along the lines of “We can’t force another group of people to change”, and didn’t do much about it.

But Brandy is fiercely protective of Bruce, and made a lot of accommodations for him in her family’s restaurant, and will call out ANYONE who treats him as lesser. (He tells her it’s not necessary, but he truly appreciates it💜🧡)

I’m sorry, this is also just word soup, but hopefully I answered it ok!!!

been a while since the last entry in the "John Dory gets glasses" saga

HOLY MOLY THIS IS SO COOL! Ahhhhh the emotions, the drama, the ANGST!!! You captured the scene so well!!!

Excerpt from Chapter 17: That Icy Fear

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

John Dory could feel himself becoming more and more frantic, but he tried desperately to swallow it down. Branch was talking, he just had to keep him talking… “Ok uh, what’s my favorite kind of berry?”

Branch let out a quiet hum, as if he wanted to speak, but just couldn’t find the energy to move his lips. Panic shot through John Dory, trying not to let it show in his voice as he asked again. “C’mon Bitty, you know this one. It’s small and blue, just like you, remember?”

The young troll didn’t reply. His head dropped further into John Dory’s chest, his breaths scarily slow. This was a stark contrast from John Dory, whose breaths quickened to a point he was nearly hyperventilating, unable to hold back the panic that was now surging through him.

“No no no, please Branch, please.” He begged, a sob building in his throat as he tried desperately to warm his brother’s icy skin. “C’mon buddy, please, I can’t- You can’t…”

This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening… He was losing him. He messed up, and because of that, he was going to lose his little brother. It was all his fault. He was failing, failing, failing…

All at once, his brothers appeared around him, their faces matching expressions of pure panic as they stared down at the small troll in John Dory’s arms.

“John, do something!” Spruce commanded, voice shrill with desperation.

“You’re losing him!” Clay cried out, eyes wide with fear.

“Help him, please!” Floyd sobbed, tears streaming down his face. “Please, John Dory, help him!

Quick question, if you were to do an ages reversed Au with the brothers (Branches as eldest, JD youngest, ect), what do you think would change about the story, just off the top of your head?

Ooooo this is tricky, ok uh… (Edit: I based this off of Great Decisions btw, I’m sorry, I didn’t read closely enough😖)

Branch - I think he would be a bit of an overbearing older brother. Not in JD’s perfectionistic way, but more like being in everyone’s business. He definitely has a schedule on each of them regarding their activities. He doesn’t want them to be perfect, but he expects them to listen, and is a bit self centered sometimes. Likely, Branch wouldn’t have left the tree. And unlike John Dory, he despises their father for what he did, and is similar to Grandma Rosiepuff in that sense where he refuses to talk about it. Also unlike JD, he did not drop out of school, Grandma Rosiepuff would be a lot more willing to help in this situation.

Floyd - It was Floyd’s idea to start BroZone to help his brother out (Branch was doing a bunch of jobs and wasn’t home too much). When the perfect family harmony fell apart, he was mortified, thinking he ruined everything, and ran. He had no idea Spruce followed after him.

Clay - His storyline’s about the same. He and Branch argued over many things, but more so life stuff vs band stuff, and when Floyd and Spruce disappeared, he left to live with King Peppy. He went missing in the tunnels running back to find his brothers…

Spruce - Spruce took the role of a mediator in this timeline. Floyd was really stressed all the time, so Spruce would typically step in and use his baby brother privilege to get Branch and Clay to stop arguing. He was always very good with baby JD. When he saw Floyd taking off, he followed him. But by the time he convince his brother to come back, it was too late, and they were lost.

JD - He had much more support growing up. Branch figured out he was dyslexic pretty quick, and helped him with learning to read. A bit of his perfectionism showed through, but it wasnt much till he got older. He was the one who Grandma Rosiepuff sacrificed herself to save, and after that happened, he took off. And Branch went after him. When they returned, they saw the decimated tree and collapsed tunnels, and despite his investigations, Branch figured the trolls were gone.

Instead of going to the Neverglade, they just lived in the woods, Branch just taking them as far as he could from Bergentown, his paranoia starting. They never found Rhonda. Because Branch is a bit more cautious, he did not gather that many injuries. And they likely found Troll Village sooner.

Branch was also able to pick up on the early warning signs of JD’s mental health problems.

AH! I hope that was ok! I tried, but gosh man, that is a tricky one!!!

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!!!
