I cant remember if I posted this yet but a doodle i did over 6 months ago i think.
At the moment how I feel
…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”😂
small question what do you think the history would go if the movies happen in different order
That is a great question!
I don’t think Movie Two really could’ve happened before Movie One, strictly for the reason that… I don’t think Branch would’ve gone with Poppy. Likely, she would’ve brought Creek with her (If the coward even bothered to go), and who knows what could have happened then? I think without Branch there, the plan would’ve failed entirely, and Barb’s Nation of Rock would have become reality.
Now Movie Three before Movie One, that would be interesting! Imagining a GREY Branch being told he has to go find his brothers who left him all those years ago… Would he have even agreed? If he did, his interactions would have been a lot colder, and more cruel, with each of them. And saving Floyd? It may have just failed, considering Branch’s refusal to sing, and his nihilistic views on the world would’ve kept him from inspiring his brothers that they don’t have to be perfect to be in harmony. So many things could happen, I’ll bet you five bucks there’s a fic about it! (Not actually betting tho, I am broke😂)
Movie Three before Movie Two, I don’t think much would’ve changed honestly, since those two are pretty disconnected. But it would be interesting to see how the BroZone Bros and Viva would play into the plot!!! Would they all go? Could make for some fun, wacky hijinks! (All of BroZone as Rock Zombies?!?!)
Interesting thoughts for sure!
Quick question, if you were to do an ages reversed Au with the brothers (Branches as eldest, JD youngest, ect), what do you think would change about the story, just off the top of your head?
Ooooo this is tricky, ok uh… (Edit: I based this off of Great Decisions btw, I’m sorry, I didn’t read closely enough😖)
Branch - I think he would be a bit of an overbearing older brother. Not in JD’s perfectionistic way, but more like being in everyone’s business. He definitely has a schedule on each of them regarding their activities. He doesn’t want them to be perfect, but he expects them to listen, and is a bit self centered sometimes. Likely, Branch wouldn’t have left the tree. And unlike John Dory, he despises their father for what he did, and is similar to Grandma Rosiepuff in that sense where he refuses to talk about it. Also unlike JD, he did not drop out of school, Grandma Rosiepuff would be a lot more willing to help in this situation.
Floyd - It was Floyd’s idea to start BroZone to help his brother out (Branch was doing a bunch of jobs and wasn’t home too much). When the perfect family harmony fell apart, he was mortified, thinking he ruined everything, and ran. He had no idea Spruce followed after him.
Clay - His storyline’s about the same. He and Branch argued over many things, but more so life stuff vs band stuff, and when Floyd and Spruce disappeared, he left to live with King Peppy. He went missing in the tunnels running back to find his brothers…
Spruce - Spruce took the role of a mediator in this timeline. Floyd was really stressed all the time, so Spruce would typically step in and use his baby brother privilege to get Branch and Clay to stop arguing. He was always very good with baby JD. When he saw Floyd taking off, he followed him. But by the time he convince his brother to come back, it was too late, and they were lost.
JD - He had much more support growing up. Branch figured out he was dyslexic pretty quick, and helped him with learning to read. A bit of his perfectionism showed through, but it wasnt much till he got older. He was the one who Grandma Rosiepuff sacrificed herself to save, and after that happened, he took off. And Branch went after him. When they returned, they saw the decimated tree and collapsed tunnels, and despite his investigations, Branch figured the trolls were gone.
Instead of going to the Neverglade, they just lived in the woods, Branch just taking them as far as he could from Bergentown, his paranoia starting. They never found Rhonda. Because Branch is a bit more cautious, he did not gather that many injuries. And they likely found Troll Village sooner.
Branch was also able to pick up on the early warning signs of JD’s mental health problems.
AH! I hope that was ok! I tried, but gosh man, that is a tricky one!!!
Congrats on making it to 100 chapters in your story "Great Decisions" and Happy Birthday. 🥳🎂🎉
AHHHH TYSM!!!
It’s still so crazy to me that we’re at 100 CHAPTERS!!! And still going! And y’all are still here, being so supportive AH!!! I can’t wait to keep sharing this story with you all as we get into the third movie, IM SO EXCITED!!!
And thanks for the birthday wish as well!💜
Well, any of the other troll tribes give John Dory the help he needs to get better in great decisions
Kinda?
I will say, his experiences during the second movie will definitely help him improve mental health wise, and find a sort of peace with himself. But they won’t fix everything. I am really excited for y’all to see where this goes!
This one had me tearing up a bit too😭 Had to start the story out with a bang, amiright?! Or I guess, I piercing, guttural scream. Amazing work, I can FEEL the pain, makes me wanna cry too!
Of all the scenes I chose to draw of @rydoesartandstuff ‘s epic fan fic ‘Great Decisions’ I’ve read so far, I choose this one? *head desk*. I’m sorry I’m a sucker for angst and I just wanted to attempt to capture the internal agony John Dory was feeling in that moment. I also wanted to show the greyness overcoming him so tried to take it mid shot of his scream…. It should be a crime to see JD look this upset FR 😢. I’m sorry for this but I needed to get it out of my system. I honestly hope you like it 👉👈 🥺
For definite I will be drawing more scenes from this fan fic because it is just so rich in potential scenes to capture! Thank you @rydoesartandstuff for bringing this fic into existence! I will go and carrying on reading now! 😆
