Nothing Will Change Your Perspective On A Character Like Someone Who Is Batshit Obsessed With Them

Do you have any plans for the It's Like You're My Mirror series? Don’t get me wrong, I love Great Decisions with all my heart, and it’s impressive how fast you are working on it, insane stuff, but the vibe is just different, and is honestly impressive you can write two very distinct version of JD that still have the same issues, just in different stages.

Great Decisions JD is functionally depressed, while in It's Like You're My Mirror he has been functionally depressed for 20+ years and that man is trying his best to not have a breakdown, and failing miserably.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any plans to expand on the “It’s Like You’re My Mirror” series. I love it so much, but I think it reached a natural ending! I wanted to leave it partially open ended so people could come up with their own ideas for how it would continue, how they thought it might turn out. But I’m so glad that you like it so much! It holds a special place in my heart.

Thank you for all your kind words as well! Our Great Decisions John Dory will have plenty more time to have a mental breakdown after the events of the first movie, so just hang on tight! Ha ha…

This poor man about to go through it.

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!

(I’ll defo have to take a listen to that song now!)

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!

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!!!

Behold the painting I spent 16hrs on (well it’s technically 5 seperate paintings Shh ) but uhh Tada! I think looking at it now there’s definitely stuff I could’ve changed and improved so if i ever remake this I’ll do it then

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

THE WAY I IMMEDIATELY GRINNED WHEN I SAW THIS

Omg he’s literally so cute😭 That poor little birthday man! I was reading “Sunrise on the Reaping”, and (SPOILERS) found out Haymitch’s bday was on reaping day, and was just like, that’s my boi John Dory right there😂 Luckily my birthday did not involve the ceremonial death of my friends and family, so like, L to those guys…

Also, immediately thought of this scene, real time footage of me and this art:

Happy Birthday @rydoesartandstuff !!! 🎉 🥳

And congrats on the 100th chapter!

Is this the third drawing I've made for this fic this week? Yes. Do I care? No.

Imma keep posting fanart of this fic till I drop!

Sorry I'm asking so much lore stuff, but I love picking your brain (Let me know if you want to slow down or anything) My next question is, are Brandi and Bruce's kids genetically theirs or adopted? The reason I ask is because of all the stuff they could inherit from Bruce's side of the family. Can they sing great? Would they have drug like qualities that a Troll seems to have? Not to mention stuff that just effects Bruce's family rather than all trolls. Like Clay's seemingly hinted at, high functioning autism could have jumped a generation from their parents, over Bruce and to his kids. Or John's dyslexia. Or John's Schizophrenia. Then there's also the Genetic Trauma (epigenetics) from generations of Trolls living in the Troll tree during Bergen occupation.

Oooo I like this one! (Imma write this how I see it in the “Great Decisions” lore!)

I like to headcanon that yes, they are genetically theirs, just because in the movie, they have Bruce’s ears, and trademark front swoops of his hair! I also like to think they have tails as well, and are a bit shorter than normal Vacaytioners.

More into troll lore, I think Bruce’s kids were born from eggs. Also, Bruce carried ALL their eggs, that’s why he’s got such big hair! Troll eggs are born from love, and well, Bruce has A LOT of love for Brandy, and for his kids. Brandy helped take over once the eggs detached, and were a bit too big for Bruce to carry.

Fun fact, all his kids are musically inclined! Just not always in singing. Some of them are just really good at playing instruments, or even writing music! They perform in the restaurant sometimes, which gives Bruce… Mixed feelings. But he’s always very supportive.

And another fun fact, Brandy is as tone deaf as they come. Remember that scene from Rio, with the toucan couple? That’s Bruce and Brandy. He absolutely loves her voice; it always sounded beautiful to him!

The genetics kind of stop there. I like to think at least one of Bruce’s kids has dyslexia, but other than that, they “dodged a genetic bullet” per se. No “troll drug” capabilities, no early warning signs of schizophrenia. What they did inherit was Brandy’s need to babble about anything and everything. Lucky for them, Bruce is more than happy to listen!

Ahhhhh I love this family! And you’re good with the questions! It just takes me a while to answer sometimes😅

One more fun fact I leave you with… In the BroZone family, Pine carried JD, Spruce, and Branch as eggs. Sunny carried Clay and Floyd! Idk, it doesn’t really matter plot wise, but that’s just how I see it in my brain!

(Also, any time I say “fun fact”, please read is in Tug Duluth’s voice from the Trolls tv show, it just makes everything better😂)

I hope u guys don't mind me posting these au doodles while I work on things ahaha

I also gave JD slightly longer hair in these doodles as a funny haha but I don't think it's funny anymore he looks genuinely good with his hair like that ahahaha I hope you're not mad at me for changing his au design a bit

please forgive me i'm kind of obsessed with him

Rhonda my loved she is best girl we love her😍 And OOOOO ROCK ZOMBIE JD SPOTTED👀👀👀 He looks so freaking cool, somebody get this guys some therapy! (Fr tho, he looks AWESOME!)

Here are some shoddy work doodles of Rhonda and RZ!JD from Great Decisions I am still working on~~ I tried to do some Rhonda studies but it hard to do that at work.
