An Animatic I Made A WHILE Ago About My Story! Figured You Guys Might Like It As Well!

Anyways 🫶

What happened to Dickory's arms?

Great question!

In the same avalanche that killed he and Hickory’s mother, he nearly lost his life as well! Fun fact, Hickory and their father (who I like to think was named “Doc”), have cloven goat hooves, and were able to navigate the mountain terrain better versus Dickory and their mother (who I like to think was named “Mouse”), have thicker horse hooves, and struggle a bit more. So when the avalanche came, they didn’t escape it in time.

Dickory was not only trapped under the snow, but his right arm was crushed by a rock. His Dad managed to dig him out, but his arm was beyond saving. So he kinda… Cut it off. But now he has a sick crossbow arm so… Cool! It also shoots nets/rope to trap people!

i gwanna chew him up like gum

You ever think about how Bruce felt watching JD slowly but surely become an absolute control freak.

He knew JD before the entirety of BroZone. Before it took apart their family because of the box JD forced everyone into in order to be perfect.

You think he ever wished for his brother back

HOLY MOLY THIS IS SO COOL! Ahhhhh the emotions, the drama, the ANGST!!! You captured the scene so well!!!

Excerpt from Chapter 17: That Icy Fear

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

John Dory could feel himself becoming more and more frantic, but he tried desperately to swallow it down. Branch was talking, he just had to keep him talking… “Ok uh, what’s my favorite kind of berry?”

Branch let out a quiet hum, as if he wanted to speak, but just couldn’t find the energy to move his lips. Panic shot through John Dory, trying not to let it show in his voice as he asked again. “C’mon Bitty, you know this one. It’s small and blue, just like you, remember?”

The young troll didn’t reply. His head dropped further into John Dory’s chest, his breaths scarily slow. This was a stark contrast from John Dory, whose breaths quickened to a point he was nearly hyperventilating, unable to hold back the panic that was now surging through him.

“No no no, please Branch, please.” He begged, a sob building in his throat as he tried desperately to warm his brother’s icy skin. “C’mon buddy, please, I can’t- You can’t…”

This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening… He was losing him. He messed up, and because of that, he was going to lose his little brother. It was all his fault. He was failing, failing, failing…

All at once, his brothers appeared around him, their faces matching expressions of pure panic as they stared down at the small troll in John Dory’s arms.

“John, do something!” Spruce commanded, voice shrill with desperation.

“You’re losing him!” Clay cried out, eyes wide with fear.

“Help him, please!” Floyd sobbed, tears streaming down his face. “Please, John Dory, help him!

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

Why do you think Pine and Sunny named the boys how they did?

OH, I got you, you know I’ve been thinking about this…

John Dory: Named after his mother, “Sunny”, who also has a fish based name! (Like the Bluegills, who are also called “Sunny’s” where I’m from!) Kinda ironic maybe, considering which parent he tends to take after…

Spruce: Named after his father, following the “tree” trend. (Mayhaps another reason he changed his name…?)

Clay: Named in honor his Grandpa “Peat”, who also had yellow hair, sorta following the dirt/ground part of nature. (Peat is Rosiepuff’s husband, but does not show up in the story, he died way before!)

Floyd: Bit of a toughy, but on the Trolls wiki, they mention Floyd’s name was a bit of a play on words from the word “Flood”. And he cried a lot as a kid so…

And we all know John Dory named Branch, after the designs on his egg, and because he wanted his brother to have a strong name, like a Branch that never bows to the wind.

But yeah, there we go! Can you tell I’ve thought about this before?😂

And here, some Branch and JD bonding content because I need more of it, and if I can’t find it then goddammit imma do it myself!!! Designs based on my story/au “Great Decisions” on AO3!

His eyes say so much😭 Ahhhh but he’s so cute, I love the way you drew him, THANK YOU!!! This poor guy I swear, he’s been thru too much!

Also you captured his vibe so well, why he just…

Laugh thru the pain😂😭
