Awwww So Cute, I Love This Scene So Much! Writing John Dory And Bruce Will Always Be One Of My Favorite

JD WITH GLASSES! i luv that hc sm

I found out at my last eye appointment that I have astigmatism along with the near-sightedness so naturally I have to pass the same curse down to him

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH?! THAT SAD LITTLE MAN!? MY SHAYLA😩🙌🙏 ALSO HICKORY MY BELOVED STOP IM DYING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

Great decision sketches :P

Ry, why do you torture JD so much?

Great question. Answer? …Idk

I don’t know why his character just CLICKED for me. Maybe it’s the older sibling perfectionism in me that I’m just like yes, that man… He is me. Let’s make him suffer😂

But truly, I just love writing him, and I love writing angst, so… RIP to that man, his fault for being so DAMN LIKEABLE. Plus like, he just has SO much angst potential, I can’t help it😂

MORE DEER TROLLS!!!

Bruce is my favorite :3

*altogether now…* CREEK YOU EVIL SNAKE!!! Omg, this is so so cool!!! 😍 Not Chef being like “Damn, this trolls be wildin’ fr.” 😂

"John Dory felt another growl build in his throat, eyes flicking between Creek and Chef. This wasn’t about the Trolls, or the Bergens being happy, it never was. It was, and always will be, about power. Control. It was about Creek having the Trolls wrapped in his hair like little dancing puppets, and Chef having the Bergens eating out of her hand. Those two deserved each other."

@rydoesartandstuff you're both a genius and evil for writing this piece. When i tell you this chapter has me by the throat is an understatement.

Everyone should go read Great decisions ,i promise you wont be dissapointed!

Also wile reading Creek's speech, i thought at what Chef must been doing besides giving comentary here and there, must've been hella awkard for her:

Hi! Maybe this has already been asked or maybe you even wrote about it in your story, but I'm interested to know in more detail... How do you imagine the appearance and personalities of Branch's and his brothers' parents ? And also, which of the five brothers is most similar to which parent? Thank you in advance for your answer))

Also, sorry if something is not clear, English is not my native language😅

Absolutely man! I got you!

Their mother, Sunny, is the daughter of Rosiepuff! She’s light purple, with golden yellow hair. She was know for being kind, and soft spoken, but she was definitely tough, basically second in command of the scouts at the Troll Tree! She had a great sense of humor, a sharp tongue to match Pine’s, and a laugh that could light up a room. And she could often be found high up in the foliage, dancing where the sun could reach the leaves (she was basically an acrobat up there!) She always dreamed of trying to escape the Troll Tree someday, but when she had her family, she thought better of it, wanting instead to just keep them safe. Gruesome death warning… She was killed while trying to save someone, a Bergen slapping her aside, and completely crushing her against the tree before Pine could reach her.

Their father, Pine, was a light blue troll with very dark, spiky green hair (thus the name “Pine”). He was a cocky, adventurous guy, who also had a sharp sense of humor. His adventurous, thrill seeking nature is what led him to being the head of the scouts. He always dreamed of escaping and hiking the Neverglade Trail, but to him, it was less of a dream, and more of a goal. He completely fell in love with Sunny, the two of them entirely happy together. He never really wanted kids, but… There’s nothing he would do for her.

However, Pine started showing early signs of schizophrenia. His is a bit different from JD, and more paranoid delusional. He became absolutely paranoid with the Bergens, thinking they were watching them constantly, him and Sunny in particular. And he believed he was the only one who knew this, and the only one who could stop them. This is what ultimately put strain on his family, and he and Sunny’s relationship, because not only was he struggling, but he absolutely refused to get help/change, thinking people were out to get him. (We might touch on this a bit more in the story!)

He ultimately died after he found Sunny’s body, walking to the edge of a branch, and letting a Bergen take him, right in front of young John Dory.

Heh… Rough, right?

Anyways, the bros do kinda take after both of their parents in different ways, but I will say, Pine carried John Dory, Bruce, and Branch’s eggs, and Sunny carried Clay and Floyd, so there’s a bit more similarities between the respectively!

I wonder how JD is gonna react to Chaz's reality altering, drug like music >:)

Oho, do I have plans for that😈

I’m sure he’ll have a perfectly normal/healthy experience to having his already normal/healthy mind messed with, and it definitely won’t lead to anything traumatic, I’m sure!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR, You've made such a multiverse, and congratulations on chapter 100 of such a great story 🔥 Anddd.... I'm still waiting for new dialogues between John (as a son) and Peppy, with hugs 🤧🫂🫀

THANK YOU!!!

Oooo don’t worry, there will be some! Gotta have my beautiful father figure Peppy moments, y’know?!

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

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😋
