I Binge-read "Great Decisions," And Now I'm All Caught Up! So...Hickory And JD, Huh?

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!

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

OMG, this scene always breaks my heart, and you captured it beautifully! 😭 Absolutely AMAZING art!!!😍

This wasn’t happening, this couldn’t be happening… He was losing him. He messed up, and because of that, he was going to lose his little brother. It was all his fault. He was failing, failing, failing… - Great Decisions by @rydoesartandstuff

We love a JD “big brother” moment😂 Branch subsequently got his ass GROUNDED (This is so cute btw😍)

LOOOVE when jd gets to act like an older brother

(scene fro. great decisions)

…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”😂

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

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Got me tearing up over here ahhhh😭 Thank you so much for all your sweet words, truly, it blows me away that so many people love this story as much as I do!

AND?! That is inspires amazing art such as this! You captured the vibe of JD in that scene SO well, I immediately knew exactly what scene it was!😭 Such an beautiful artwork, and such kind words, thank you thank you THANK YOU! I can’t wait to keep sharing this story with you all!

I heard it's someone's birthday today and i just finished my fav scene from ch 99 for the occasion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the wonderful and amazing @rydoesartandstuff ❤️😊🎉🎂🎉🎈❤️❤️👋❤️💖❤️🥰❤️💖🥰🥰🎉🎈🎉❤️❤️💖💖

Thank you for the incredible story that you wrote i can say that we, as the readers are very much enamored with this au and and are equally obsessed with Great Decisions. Not only that, but reaching a 100 chapter is a big milestone so be proud Ry. It made us laugh, it made us cry and it hooked us up for every update, patiently waiting to see what happens next.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you 🥰👋❤️❤️❤️

I've finished reading the last chapter of Great Decisions, and I really want K. Peppy and JD to become a real family in the future. Well, like for John to call him dad, because in fact he replaced their father 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I think they’re already family! JD is definitely like a son to King Peppy, and JD very much sees King Peppy as a father figure! Idk if he’ll ever say it out loud again, but they feel the same way!

They make me so happy, and so sad at the same time😭

please forgive me i'm kind of obsessed with him
