Hi, Ry. I came across your Trolls story "Great Decisions" and read the full thing. It was very interesting and just couldn't stop reading it till I got to the last chapter. The ending, however...I'm worried about John Dory. Branch may have his colors back, but he doesn't. Plus his thought of Branch not needing him anymore concerns me. I guess I'm just wondering what's gonna happen to him in the next story based on the 2nd movie?
Hi! I’m so glad you like the story!!! Heh heh… You are right to be worried about that man. I won’t give too much away, but there’s definitely a shift in JD’s mental health following the first movie, and into the second.
I like to think that going into Movie One, his mental health definitely wasn’t great, but he was at a point in his life where he just became acclimated to the way things were. He had a purpose, and even if their life wasn’t perfect, he liked it. It was comfortable, and predictable. He wasn’t happy, but he was content.
Movie One has thrown a lot of change his way, plus a lot of added mental strain, both from the past (Which he still hasn’t dealt with) and the present (Which he refuses to acknowledge), and the epilogue of Movie One and going into Movie Two is going to reflect that strain.
I’m really excited for you to see where this goes! But for now, stay tuned!
Here, a doodle for your good vibes!
Omg, HE LOOKS AMAZING!!! Pretty much exactly how I picture him in my head! Absolutely STUNNING work on the prosthetic, it looks epic! His main weapon for both catching, and disposing of his targets! Very scrungly short goat man, I hate him (I love him)
Also, SO GLAD you like the Yodeler bros! (I like them a lot too!!!) Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!
…Ok double also JD’s face is SENDING me, man just looks like he’s thinking “This shit again I stg…”😂 Idk if that’s what you were going for, but again, EATING THIS ART!!!
I just finished the latest chapter of “Great Decisions” by @rydoesartandstuff and I am LIVID
I can't wait to see what happens to JD after getting his ass handed to him by the ultimate power cord. Also, very intrigued by the characterization of Hickory and Dickory, but anything but disappointed. I love them so much! From Hickory being half country and actually being a centaur, to Dickory being an actual psycho who wants to see the world burn.
Anyways, I was very intrigued by Dickory’s design, so I was goaded into making my own interpretation of his design, and a little scene from the latest chapter. Living for the crossbow prosthetic. Best work I've ever read on AO3, impeccable work Ry!
This, but also knowing full well my stuff is just kicking the reader while they’re down, then giving them a little smooch on the forehead.😂
my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day
…Ok but is this not basically what happened?
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is how I cope ok?! Threw this together in like two hours based on Chapter 87 of “Great Decisions”😂
When your kids take after you a little too much😂
Karma's a bitch. (Inspired by @rydoesartandstuff idea that Bruce's kids have tails. As well as my twisted sense of humour.)
he didn't mean it
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!
… I forgot I made this
Granted, it was a WHILE ago (The designs are wack, and I think I’ve improved a lot at drawing trolls since this), but it made me laugh, and it kinda fits where the story’s at rn so… IMMA SHARE IT ANYWAYS!
Enjoy this thing that I spent like forty minutes making😂 Laugh through the pain y’all, laugh through the pain!
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.
Okay sorry to bother you again but I need to know. Do you have a song playlist for your fic? Cause like I need to listen to it for spiritual purposes.
Omg, I kept putting off answering this cause I was like, oooo that’s a good idea I should make one! …But I haven’t yet😅 But I can at least try and list a few songs that make me think of this story! (With zero context as to why😂)
- “Great Decisions” Judah & the Lion (Duh😂)
- “Infinitely Ordinary” The Wrecks
- “Yes I’m a Mess” AJR
- “100 Bad Days” AJR
- “Karma” AJR
- “Meet Me in The Woods” Lord Huron
- “Headlock” Imogen Heap
- “Northern Attitude” Noah Kahan
That’s just some I can think of! Can you tell I’m a bit of an AJR fan?😂 There’s other songs too, but they might make an appearance in the story so… I’ll hold out for now😉
