Okay sorry to bother you again but I need to know. Do you have a song playlist for your fic? Cause like I need to listen to it for spiritual purposes.
Omg, I kept putting off answering this cause I was like, oooo that’s a good idea I should make one! …But I haven’t yet😅 But I can at least try and list a few songs that make me think of this story! (With zero context as to why😂)
- “Great Decisions” Judah & the Lion (Duh😂)
- “Infinitely Ordinary” The Wrecks
- “Yes I’m a Mess” AJR
- “100 Bad Days” AJR
- “Karma” AJR
- “Meet Me in The Woods” Lord Huron
- “Headlock” Imogen Heap
- “Northern Attitude” Noah Kahan
That’s just some I can think of! Can you tell I’m a bit of an AJR fan?😂 There’s other songs too, but they might make an appearance in the story so… I’ll hold out for now😉
Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault
I'm anxious about the JD&Hickory drama about to unfold but the thing I actually can't stop thinking about is that we're about to find out that Cooper found his long lost family which includes... a brother!
I mean JD is gonna be happy for him but... ouch! Talk about others living your dream am I right?
You are SO right!
Might just be a little jab to John Dory’s already aching heart! Cooper living out the dream… These next few chapters might be a bit hard on our boy.
😭😭😭
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😋
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!💜
writing is 10% storytelling and 90% rearranging three sentences for an hour like you're trying to solve an ancient curse
HOLY MOLY THIS IS SO COOL! Ahhhhh the emotions, the drama, the ANGST!!! You captured the scene so well!!!
Excerpt from Chapter 17: That Icy Fear
✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
John Dory could feel himself becoming more and more frantic, but he tried desperately to swallow it down. Branch was talking, he just had to keep him talking… “Ok uh, what’s my favorite kind of berry?”
Branch let out a quiet hum, as if he wanted to speak, but just couldn’t find the energy to move his lips. Panic shot through John Dory, trying not to let it show in his voice as he asked again. “C’mon Bitty, you know this one. It’s small and blue, just like you, remember?”
The young troll didn’t reply. His head dropped further into John Dory’s chest, his breaths scarily slow. This was a stark contrast from John Dory, whose breaths quickened to a point he was nearly hyperventilating, unable to hold back the panic that was now surging through him.
“No no no, please Branch, please.” He begged, a sob building in his throat as he tried desperately to warm his brother’s icy skin. “C’mon buddy, please, I can’t- You can’t…”
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…
All at once, his brothers appeared around him, their faces matching expressions of pure panic as they stared down at the small troll in John Dory’s arms.
“John, do something!” Spruce commanded, voice shrill with desperation.
“You’re losing him!” Clay cried out, eyes wide with fear.
“Help him, please!” Floyd sobbed, tears streaming down his face. “Please, John Dory, help him!

How much is JD suffering right now?
…So much. Poor boi is going THRU it
Hi, Ry. I came across your Trolls story "Great Decisions" and read the full thing. It was very interesting and just couldn't stop reading it till I got to the last chapter. The ending, however...I'm worried about John Dory. Branch may have his colors back, but he doesn't. Plus his thought of Branch not needing him anymore concerns me. I guess I'm just wondering what's gonna happen to him in the next story based on the 2nd movie?
Hi! I’m so glad you like the story!!! Heh heh… You are right to be worried about that man. I won’t give too much away, but there’s definitely a shift in JD’s mental health following the first movie, and into the second.
I like to think that going into Movie One, his mental health definitely wasn’t great, but he was at a point in his life where he just became acclimated to the way things were. He had a purpose, and even if their life wasn’t perfect, he liked it. It was comfortable, and predictable. He wasn’t happy, but he was content.
Movie One has thrown a lot of change his way, plus a lot of added mental strain, both from the past (Which he still hasn’t dealt with) and the present (Which he refuses to acknowledge), and the epilogue of Movie One and going into Movie Two is going to reflect that strain.
I’m really excited for you to see where this goes! But for now, stay tuned!
Here, a doodle for your good vibes!
Randomly remembered this quote and it made my mind go brrrr…
It was too good not to draw😂 It fits the vibes of the next few chapters so well! And wanted to try some shading anyways lol
I make art and write on AO3! Check it out @rytheoneandonly
