HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR, You've Made Such A Multiverse, And Congratulations On Chapter 100 Of Such A Great

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."

BroZone back, Alright!!!

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

WAAAHHHH LOOK AT HIM! I’m SO glad you like his design! YOU SURROUNDED HIM WITH FIRE NO, HE’S SENSITIVE! Free my man😭

But fr, AMAZING art, I’m so glad you like him!!!

More John Dory from @rydoesartandstuff’s fic Great Decisions

Rock Zombie JD’s design is so fire

Just popped in to ask if you have any idea of the chokehold you have on me with your talent? You singlehandedly roped me back into the trolls fandom. Your writing is so easy to get lost in, there have been multiple times that I've gone back in Great Decisions to refresh my memories on one thing, but then I obviously should reread the context for this chapter as well, and wait this is right before that one other point in the story that I really loved, I should go further back so I can read it again- and suddenly I blink and find myself awake at four in the morning, having stayed up all night to reread the whole thing because it's so damn good!

Oh my gosh, WELCOME BACK TO THE TROLLS FANDOM!

Ahhh thank you for all your kind words, they really mean a lot! (Got me smiling and kicking my feet at work!😂)

I’m so glad you like the story so much! I feel ya tho, sometimes, I want to reread things because the context matters for new stuff I’m writing, and I get kinda lost just reading through everything again! I work really hard to make this story into something beautiful, and I put a lot of time and passion into it, so it always means so much to hear the it shows through!

Thank you so much again, I hope my writing can continue to bring you joy!💜

Here, and random doodle cuz I got bored!

A happy man for once!

he didn't mean it

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

With how confused King Peppy is right now, I wonder how long it will be before he stops calling JD Clay and starts calling him Pine. >:)

…Don’t go giving me ideas now, hasn’t our boi suffered enough?😂

You make a great point though. Not only does JD look like his father, but there are enough parallels between them I’ll bet King Peppy can’t help but see Pine in him sometimes. After all, Pine was pretty high up in the scouts, and worked closely with King Peppy. They were likely even friends at some point, before Pine’s mental state deteriorated, and his delusions overcame reason. Perhaps the reason King Peppy cared so much/tried to support JD is partly because he saw the warning signs, and didn’t want to see the young troll fall down the same path/spiral his father did…

Food for thought😋

heeey!!!! I'm curious, will Great Decisions have any John ships? 👀

(Loving the Johnny depression arc btw!)

It will!

But… It won’t be a HUGE major thing, the whole story isn’t going to shift to focus on it. It’ll have a very slow build, from friends to something more, but it’ll be more so in the background of everything else. JD isn’t really versed in anything relationship wise.

I am excited tho! And a little nervous hah… I’ve had this relationship planned since the beginning and don’t want people to suddenly dislike the story cuz they don’t like it. It’s not like a bad ship, it’s one of the more popular ones, but still… I get stressed easily😅 But yes! There will be one, and I’m very excited for when we get to it!

Glad you like the depresso boi being depresso😂 Here’s a doodle of him being happy, and maybe a little nervous lmao! (Funnily enough, with the person he’s with in the story, but I cropped them out😁 No spoilers!!!)

Thanks for asking!!!😁

Do you think John is going to have a similar arc that he had between the first and second movie this time? Or because canonically that the time skip between the second and third is only a month (which I am electing to ignore personally) will he have a more simple arc?

He will have a more simple arc!

Exactly, there’s only going to be about a month and a half between Movies 2 and 3 in my story, and that’s not a helluva lot of time to really grow. BUT! There will still defo be some growth, some steps forward, and some steps back! I think the next chapter that’ll come out, the last one for Movie Two, really sets the stage for our little in-between arc. Very excited to share it with y’all!

I think? It’ll only be about 5-6 chapters, hopefully 5. And they’re going to be a lot more episodic than we’ve seen in a while, with most having a small time skip inbetween. I want to make sure I set up well for the third movie, but always want to make sure I tie up some things from the second movie.

More to be revealed soon!
