I Think About This Line A Lot Actually.

More of baby John Dory being his brothers’ hero because it brings me joy😭

I had fun making these; they’re a little goofy, but then again… Idk I don’t have an excuse😂

Oh, and btw…

I wish I could add music to posts so I could add just the first like 5 seconds of sweet child o mine to this with no caption bc that's all thats going through my head rn<3 Love these traumatised child stars lol

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?😂

Congrats on making it to 100 chapters in your story "Great Decisions" and Happy Birthday. 🥳🎂🎉

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

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!

nap time

Can’t wait for the third movie chapter of the great decisions! 

ME NEITHER IM SO HYPE
