They’re Fighting Over Who’s Branch’s Favorite Brother. Floyd Knows It’s Him

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!

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!

Randomly remembered this quote and it made my mind go brrrr…

It was too good not to draw😂 It fits the vibes of the next few chapters so well! And wanted to try some shading anyways lol

Maybe I don’t have anxiety. Maybe I’m so scared all the time on account of it all being so scary.

Another “Great Decisions” animatic cuz IM REALLY PROUD OF THEM AND THEY TOOK ME SO LONG!!!😭

K.O!!

We know Bruce and Brandi's daughter is named LaBreezey, and four of their sons are named - Bruce Jr, Cove, Freddy, Windy and Rainy. What are the other kids names in your Au? Also would you change any of the cannon ones? Did Spruce name any kids after family members? (Beside Bruce Jr XD)

Heck yeah, I got you! Listed from oldest to youngest!

LaBreezey

Rocky, Sandy, and Frond (Triplets)

Bruce Jr. and Bruno (Twins)

Windy, Rainy, and Sunny (Triplets; Sunny named after Bruce’s mom)

Freddy and Teddy (Twins)

Coco and Cove (Twins)

Fun fact, in this AU, Brandy has a twin sister named Whisky, so the twins/triplets was kind of a genetic thing! Bruce had to be bedbound for a month with each of the twins/triplets before they detached😂

So freaking cute😍😭

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!!!

*can't think of anything else to draw so here he is standing in the void for the 8735475689th time*

(also: an experiment from last night)
