I Didn't Like My Last Design For Boy Poppy, So I Redesigned Him :3

I know she's not technically here yet, but lets hears some Queen Barb head cannons! Anything about how she grew up or when he dad started to deteriorate? Some happy times? Stuff like that!

OF COURSE!!!

- Barb’s Mom died when she was very young. Similar to Poppy, she doesn’t remember much about her.

- King Thrash was an amazing father, his daughter got everything she wanted! They have a very close relationship, and he used to call her “Firecracker”.

- King Thrash performed a lot of concerts, and Barb was right there with him! From just sitting in his hair, to playing along, she and him both had a flair for the dramatics! (And pyrotechnics!)

- King Thrash began to show signs of memory loss when Barb was ten. Just like Peppy, it has slowly progressed through the years, despite the Rock Trolls having greater advances in medicine. Barb became his primary caretaker, and the new Rock Queen, by 21, making her the youngest Queen in Troll history.

- Due to her age, a lot of Rock Trolls don’t respect her, and she has to fight hard for everything she has, feeling like she has something to prove…

- She still puts on amazing performances, and her Dad still comes to every one.

Sorry, most of these are about her Dad, it’s the first things I thought of off the top of my head! A lot of parallels to Poppy…

nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer

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

Awwww THANK YOU! You are right, SO much drama, CORN ME DINKLES!!!

Eeee I’m so excited to start getting into Movie Three! Thank you so much for all your kind words, got me grinning like crazy over here!😭💜 I’m so glad my story can bring you joy, it does the same for me!

Here, it’s not much, but I had my last final on Friday, here’s a messy little doodle I made while my brain was melting:

Alternative text: This can’t hurt me because I can’t read😂 My brain do be fried tho

TYSM AGAIN!!!💜

Sooooo, I just finished reading the new chapter of "Great Decisions" by @rydoesartandstuff ! And... OH MY GOD! Now I'm overwhelmed with emotions!Was that Floyd?!?! I mean...Like, really, the real FLOYD??? Woooow! What an unexpected twist! I love it so much! I'm so excited I'm going to scream!

But nooooo, JD decided it was another hallucination 😭💔 Nooo (just kidding, I actually like it! No. I love it! I love this damn drama!) Oh-ho-ho now I'm even more excited for the next chapters! And by the way, @rydoesartandstuff , happy birthday! (sorry for the late greetings, I feel so bad that I didn't congratulate you on time🥺). However, I still wanted to express my gratitude and admiration for what you do! Your fanfic inspires me to create and live on, I always return to this story with pleasure after a hard day💜

Your fanfics are masterpieces that I absolutely love and adore. I reread them all the time, for me they are the greatest fiction I have ever read.

While I was rereading "Great Decisions" I was thinking about how JD will act towards Velvet and Veneer, looking at how he goes with critters and Chef I can't wait to read all about it !!!

Thank you so much for writing such amazing pieces of art :D

Oh my gosh, thank you for all your kind words!!! I put my heart and soul into everything I write, so it’s always nice to hear that the passion shines through!

Oh, I’m VERY excited for Velvet and Veneer! They are going to be SO fun to write, and any interactions between them and JD will defo be hype! They’d better be on their BEST FUCKING BEHAVIOR (But we know they won’t be😈)

You are so very welcome! Thank you for reading it!💜

Ooh!!!! I don’t know if I’d rather sock a Rock Troll in the face or strangle one with my hair if I was a Troll. I’m usually a peaceful person, BUT the Rock Trolls muzzling John Dory?! That’s where I draw the line!!! 😡😤😡😤😡😤

In their defense… He did bite them😂

But fr, RELEASE MY BOI HE DID NOTHING WRONG! At least they took it off pretty quick, that man did NOT need anymore things to panic about!

when the ghost of u haunts me in the silliest and gentlest ways

The dore 💔💔💔💔💔

So, just to clarify, Hickory is not a centaur like the other country trolls. So is more of a Satyr troll, or he is centaur but goat features. Using @sandflakedraws Hickory design an example of a Satyr troll

Hickory is a centaur in this story!

But you’re right, he just has more goat-like features! I made a post with his design, but I’ll put it here as well!!! (Love the satyr design tho! But my version of Hickory is just a little different!)

His design is based on a mountain goat!

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😋
