HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS SO FAST?!?! Mad Skillz Fr🤯

Never thought I’d say this, but I actually want John Dory to kick those bully Country Trolls’ butts. Does that make me a bad person that I want to see that happen? 🤔

Absolutely not! They defo deserve it!

But… I thought it might mess with the whole “diplomacy” if he really tore those guys apart😂 But trust me, if he’d gotten his hands on them, they would’ve regretted messing with him!

Honestly I think one of the best things about your writing is how you do tend to force jd to suffer through the worst kind of torture. Actually having to talk through his emotions.

Like in my head I have this fun little idea of some secret potion being used and it showing his brothers what jd sees and thinks (in kinda like a body swap way). And boom someone sees what he sees and is like ‘uh jd wtf’

But I am very excited to see how he’s going to have to talk about it! It’s going to be agonizing for him and I can only hope he figures out the right words to do it.

Ahhhh right?! Like give this man the WORST mental torture, but the hardest thing is making him ACTUALLY talk about it!

Ooooo and I do like your idea! Something like that, or maybe like a Truth Serum Cloudguy sneaks into his drink, and he just starts spewing out a bunch of feelings he’s kept on lock for 20 years?! I love it, give me fourteen of them right now!!!

But I’m so glad you’re liking the story! It’ll defo be agonizing for him, so I wonder to what point he’ll have to be pushed to actually start talking about his feelings?! Ooooooo

With how confused King Peppy is right now, I wonder how long it will be before he stops calling JD Clay and starts calling him Pine. >:)

…Don’t go giving me ideas now, hasn’t our boi suffered enough?😂

You make a great point though. Not only does JD look like his father, but there are enough parallels between them I’ll bet King Peppy can’t help but see Pine in him sometimes. After all, Pine was pretty high up in the scouts, and worked closely with King Peppy. They were likely even friends at some point, before Pine’s mental state deteriorated, and his delusions overcame reason. Perhaps the reason King Peppy cared so much/tried to support JD is partly because he saw the warning signs, and didn’t want to see the young troll fall down the same path/spiral his father did…

Food for thought😋

So I’m sure that hickory is going to stick around even after TWT is wrapped up especially since the endgame is that jd and him are going to be partners. How do you think hickory would react to meeting his partner other brothers ( Bruce, Clay and Floyd) and their most likely poor treatment/ low opinion of him?

Ooooo good question! I won’t give too much away, just because spoilers, but I’ll do what I can!

Hickory would defo be someone who’s protective of his partner… To an extent. On one hand, he strikes me as someone who’s very aware of his partner’s boundaries, both with him, and the people he knows. And he’ll be right there if someone crosses it.

But on the other hand, he’s respectful of JD, and his family. He wouldn’t want to overstep in defending him, but at the same time, he wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking badly of him, including his brothers.

But at the end of the day, his main goal would be John Dory, and how he’s feeling in that moment. Similar to JD, Hickory is very cued in to subtle body language. He would know when to step up, versus maybe just removing him from the situation. And any defense directed out towards his brothers would be completely collected and respectful, with no angry words just being thrown around.

Just my thoughts, anyways, we’ll see how it goes!

If John Dory, Branch, Poppy, and Rhonda are on the raft with Hickory, then I’m gonna assume that it’s only a matter of time until Chaz the Smooth Jazz Troll makes his “smooth” debut.

Oho, and “debut” he will! Really excited for the next chapter, it’ll be fun😈

I haven't been reading the last few 6 or 7(?) chapters of Great Decisions cause I want to read the rest of the movie 2 in one go cause I know otherwise I'd be going insane for each new update but last night I actually dreamed about your JD the story and how it might continue. So I guess it's been a lot more on my mind than I thought 🤔😂

Lmaooo waiting for updates is hard😂

Ooooo I hope it was a good dream! Little fun fact unrelated to “Great Decisions”, but related to my other fanfics, I actually dreamed “John Dory’s Quick and Concise Guide on How To Survive” before I wrote it!

I dreamed I was in a library, and saw a book titled just that on display, and I was like, omg, that looks so good, I can’t wait to read it! And then… I woke up. And I was SO disappointed, like dammit, I was really looking forward to seeing what it was! Then I was like… I could just make it myself. So at about 3am, I wrote down that title in my notes app, and the story was born.

Wild, right?

Just, WOW! 😍 It looks AMAZING, your hard work definitely paid off! The absolute DRAMA of this scene really shines through in your art! Tysm for this amazing piece!

GET HER ASS JD!!!

Simply BEAUTIFUL piece of art, and don’t you worry my friend, that man will definitely continue to provide an ample amount of angst😁😈

Saw this pose on Pinterest and automatically thought of JD!
