They Have That Queer Sibling Bond To Me

Awwww so cute, I love this scene so much! Writing John Dory and Bruce will always be one of my favorite things💜 THANK YOU!!!

“Yeah…” John Dory said with a grimace, thinking back to his dream and his father’s death grip on his shoulder. “He was a jerk.”

“He was broken.”

Broken… John Dory’s eyes shot wide open, as if he’d been slapped. The word seemed to slice through John Dory’s heart, leaving it open and bleeding.

“When Mom died, something just broke inside him.” Bruce continued, his face grim. “Something that couldn't be fixed. It wasn’t any of our faults. He was just broken beyond repair.”

Forgot about this wip! based on a scene from John Dory's Quick and Consise Guide on How To Survive

…Tell me this ain’t the vibe these three are giving out during this second movie😂

What are the running from? My guess, Mr. Dinkles. That man is terrifying!!! Also, can’t believe I’ve never drawn Poppy before! I had so much fun!

Also also, kept thinking of the theme song from “Star vs. The Forces of Evil” while I drew this. I think it just fits!

Roughly based on this image from Gravity Falls:

And of course, the original sketch, cuz I was so proud!

Is everything that everyone left on the comet section of Great Decisions , John Dory's Quick and Concise Guide on How To Survive  and It's Like You're My Mirror true

I like to think everything I confirm in the comment sections are true to canon! Buuuuuuuut take them with a grain of salt. Anything not in the story is subject to change if my mind changes! Does that make sense?

I do my best to stay true to the story any time I’m answering comments, but I wouldn’t doubt I make mistakes sometimes! Typically I’m a bit sleep deprived when answering comments lol. But for most part, I would say yes!

…Can we just pretend this is funny?

The idea came to me and I couldn’t help but draw it, so enjoy this thing I made in the span of a few hours! I’m going to actually go work on writing now😅

(Click on photo for higher quality it kinda look bad lmao)

I wanted to ask about Tiny Diamond! You said in your Au trolls are born of love, so I was wondering how Tiny came to be. Who did Guy love? Dose he have a partner? Did one of his friend's surrogate? Can you become eggnant with self love, aka just making a genetic copy of you as your kid? Can eggs happen accidentally, or is it always intentional?

ABSOLUTELY!

You are right, Tiny was born from self love! Trolls can either have kids with a partner, or simply just because they love themselves, and want one! In Guy Diamonds case, that’s what is was! Love for himself, and a desire to love/have a kid to love!

Typically, eggs are formed from a strong love/bond between two trolls, and they typically are intentional. However, accidents can happen. Take the BroZone family for example.

John Dory, Spruce, Clay, and Floyd were all intentionally formed from Pine and Sunny’s love for one another (Not necessarily a desire to have kids, considering Pine didn’t really want them). Branch, however, was an “accident”, due to an intense surge of love Pine felt for Sunny for “believing him”, per se.

As we know, Pine went a little off the deep end towards the end there, and he was convinced the world was against him. But Sunny always stayed by his side. From his love for her just being with him through everything, Branch popped up. It doesn’t always happen, but Trolls who have eggs together before are more likely to have “accidents” like that happen.

Idk if that made sense, I tried, I still don’t have it completely fleshed out lol

LOOK AT HIM!!!😭 This poor man is going to have so many back problems from all that trauma he’s carrying… Man’s needs a chiropractor. But for real, THIS IS SO COOL!!!

Just love my old man in this fic -> Great Decisions by @rydoesartandstuff

In honor of Hickory’s introduction into “Great Decisions”, and because so many people are hyped about his design… Here’s a sketch!

I had planned to actually digitize this before I posted this chapter but… School and work have been kicking my ass😂 Maybe some day…

But yeah! Here he is! To give a little deep dive on his design, he’s roughly based on a Mountain Goat (Which is why I tried to shape him the way I did!) I can’t wait to delve more into his character, and in tandem, his design (including fun, hidden features!)

But till then, here’s my sorry attempt at trying to make my image of him come to life!

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

I wonder how JD is gonna react to Chaz's reality altering, drug like music >:)

Oho, do I have plans for that😈

I’m sure he’ll have a perfectly normal/healthy experience to having his already normal/healthy mind messed with, and it definitely won’t lead to anything traumatic, I’m sure!

I just listened to Wutiwant and the last part of the song goes really well with your John Dory. But like, really well

Oh wow, it does! Especially the line “Was that really you next to me?”, I keep imagining that with his brothers, especially Spruce. And not to be super specific, but that time JD was sitting outside Branch’s room when they first moved into the Bunker and Hallucination!Spruce showed up…

Ah! Thanks for getting my brain brewing! This begs the question… Should I make a post with a bunch of songs that inspire/remind me of “Great Decisions”?
