Told you this really fits. So I made this little edit to test my theory. Whoever wrote this really knew what's going on. Look:
"Fall came early (meaning early-childhood trauma, also fall has a double sense here. It both refers to sudden change in the season, and falling from above, which physically and metaphorically happened in the mist of events)
My sun was taken (highlighting either the loss of his Grandmother or of his colors)
So I locked myself inside (well, literally)
Restart (him joining Poppy in her adventure)
Fresh start (getting closer to the Trolls while helping out Bridget)
Head start (being the only Troll ready to give out hope, while everyone else became faithless)
Spring (if Fall meant the loss of his Grandma, then Spring means finding Poppy, someone new to love)
Chains become strings (how he found his long-lost voice, thus freeing himself from the chains holding his mind back to the past, and getting back his colors)
Lift up (he lifted up his own spirit)
Lift up (he lifted up everybody else's spirits)
Rise (becoming as one with she who just became the new ruler of their kind)
I am Branch (simple say, though indication of wholeness in identity)
Bloom" (metaphor for growth with the flower symbol, mentioning what happens to branches on Spring-time, but it could also refer to Poppy, of course)
Hey, now that Chamille's back, wouldn't it be fun if Lloyd tapped into his Oni heritage shape shifting power?
Imagine them changing into each other just to point out how ugly they are like good old rivals
I think the fandom tends to depict Monogram a bit too harsh sometimes. I mean, sure, he doesn't pay Perry well enough and doesn't give him much free time, but that's not necessarily up to him. He's constantly praising and congratulating Perry even for smaller accomplishments like making a cool entrance into the lair or wearing a good disguise.
He worries for him and asks him to be careful during missions.
He organized a birthday party for him even if he got the dates mixed up.
He was literally bawling his eyes out when Doofenshmirtz made all those clones and framed Perry for evil, and he was crying in happiness when Perry proved his innocence.
Sure, he's far from perfect both as a boss and as a person, but he is trying, except maybe the way he treats Carl. That's pretty messed up. But I think he genuinely cares about Perry. He knew him since he was a little baby platypus and watched him grow into the best OWCA secret agent. Of course he's proud of him.
Also, Perry is far from submissive. He respects Monogram to a certain degree, but he won't hesitate to let him know exactly how he feels. Monogram knows what each sarcastic look and side eye Perry gives him mean and acknowledges his opinions and objections.
My point is, Monogram and Perry might be boss and subordinate, but in a very casual, chill sort of way.
Sun Wukong: *Kicks the door down looking panicked*
Pigsy: What did you do?
Sun Wukong: Nobody died.
Pigsy: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!
Almost forgot it's today
Feeling old, yet proud 🥲
Saw this LEGO Dreamzzz minifig without context and my first reaction was: "Noo! Not Jay having another emo phase! 😭"
Dashi: Guan, we've been over this. You can't just punch a civilian!
Guan: But he called Chase's hair girly! I had to defend his honor!
Dashi: What? Guan, you call Chase's hair girly at least twice before breakfast.
Guan: That doesn't count! I'm his friend, he doesn't care what I say.
Dashi: Chase doesn't care what anyone says!
Guan: Well, I do!
Chase: Guys, look, I bought a new comb.
Guan: Tsk, you're such a girl.
Chase: Okay. Dashi, I was thinking you could turn it into a Shen Gong Wu!
Guan: You want to weaponize a hair accessory?
Chase: Why not?
