Holy heck, I can’t believe it’s been A YEAR since I started posting chapters! This is by far the longest fanfic I have ever written, and it’s crazy how far, and how much this story has grown! And all the love for it has been AMAZING, and I can’t get over how much you all love this as much as I do!
So I just wanted to come on here and say, THANK YOU! To all of you! The support you’ve given me has just been amazing, and I absolutely love reading your comments, hearing your theories, feeling your ups and downs along with the characters, and of course, seeing people inspired by my work to make their own works of art! I never thought when I fell into the Trolls fandom that I’d find such a loving community, but here we are!
So thanks to you guys for following me, and our lovely John Dory, through this journey of his many, many decisions (The good, and the bad!). I can’t wait to get into the third movie, and soon, the end! I hope I can continue to give y’all all the thrills, laughs, and of course, ANGST! I will do my very darndest!
I don’t really have anything cool for you guys, just because again, I forgot😅 For some reason I thought it was in July sometime, BUT NOPE! So here, a rough, teaser sketch of an animatic I’m trying to work on! Our dearest JD on his first trip out into the wilderness, getting a taste of what it really takes to be a survivor for the first time!
Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart! And I will see you again real soon!
(Thank you for your patience on answering comments, work has been kicking my ass lately, and I like to actually spend time on them and make sure I give a meaningful answer!😭)
*can't think of anything else to draw so here he is standing in the void for the 8735475689th time*
(also: an experiment from last night)
Ohh I can already see this feral branch vs feral rock zombie JD
Ooooo *inserts video of two feral cats fighting*😂
Y’all want a complete rewrite of Trolls movies 1-3 from John Dory’s angsty POV? Do you like survival stories, perilous situations, and way too many ill-timed jokes and coping with comedy? Well bois, have I got a story for you! We’re almost to the end of the 1st movie, come join the ride!!!
Woah, you read to the end? I like you, have a John Dory doodle!
I wouldn't be surprised if hickory cut dickory out of his life forever after what happened
Oho, complicated brotherly relationships my beloved… Definitely some strain on our Yodeler bois. What Dickory’s done will not be forgiven easily, that’s for sure!
my beautiful wife, he has 50 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces
I cant remember if I posted this yet but a doodle i did over 6 months ago i think.
Another “Great Decisions” animatic cuz IM REALLY PROUD OF THEM AND THEY TOOK ME SO LONG!!!😭
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.
As for VivaDory how will she treat him as an adopted brother, because in fact he became the son of Peppy 🥹🫶 It seems to me that they really become friends 🫂🤲 (Thanks for the response to ao3)
I love thinking Viva and JD become good friends, and he defo sees her as a sort of “sister” eventually! They have so many similarities, and their dynamics are just so *MWAH* beautiful! The two eldest siblings with hella trauma, I love them😭
You know how people feel about new years with the “and with that we wrap up year 2024” or etc. that is how I feel about finshing movie two. Like ah it has it all, drama, tears, deeply traumatic nightmare fuel experiences, and a budding friendship that will began to mend the shredded mental state of one Johnathan Dory.
I’m glad you’re taking a rest because (idk if you’ve noticed) you’ve basically been publishing twice a week. Like I’m pretty sure your last update was Sunday or Tuesday so you’ve been going at it like a trouper!
Also AAAAAA I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! HE THOUGHT FLOYD WAS FAKE OH GOD THATS AWESOME!! ohhh is he still going to instigate the search and rescue for the brothers??? It would be so fun if like branch did it instead because he’s all like ‘you hide secrets from me imma do it to you’. Like I know he won’t because of poppy’s influence but it could be fun!
Answering this on the literal YEAR since the first chapter was posted does make it feel WILD! So many fun things during and much more to come, I’m so excited!
Oof, yeah twice a week baby! Pair that with how my chapters just keep getting longer and longer, my typin’ fingers are on FIRE! I defo need a little break, so I can come back stronger than ever! We’ll see if I can keep up this ‘twice a week posting’ tho, my schedules about to change and it may kill me😂 Damn life getting in the way of my angsty Trolls fanfic…
FLOYD?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! Love your ideas that would be funny! Y’all do not KNOW how hype I am to get into movie three! I won’t say much but… It may be one of my darkest rewrites of the movies yet (depending how you look at it)! GET HYPE!
I make art and write on AO3! Check it out @rytheoneandonly
