I Offer U Some Swell Bergens And *checks Bag* A Surprising Amount Of Gristle

Why do you think Pine and Sunny named the boys how they did?

OH, I got you, you know I’ve been thinking about this…

John Dory: Named after his mother, “Sunny”, who also has a fish based name! (Like the Bluegills, who are also called “Sunny’s” where I’m from!) Kinda ironic maybe, considering which parent he tends to take after…

Spruce: Named after his father, following the “tree” trend. (Mayhaps another reason he changed his name…?)

Clay: Named in honor his Grandpa “Peat”, who also had yellow hair, sorta following the dirt/ground part of nature. (Peat is Rosiepuff’s husband, but does not show up in the story, he died way before!)

Floyd: Bit of a toughy, but on the Trolls wiki, they mention Floyd’s name was a bit of a play on words from the word “Flood”. And he cried a lot as a kid so…

And we all know John Dory named Branch, after the designs on his egg, and because he wanted his brother to have a strong name, like a Branch that never bows to the wind.

But yeah, there we go! Can you tell I’ve thought about this before?😂

Wait will Branch know about what happened to Clay during the escape? Possibly before the reunion, Peppy talking about Viva and Clay or if John tells him about it or it accidentally slips out about the tunnel cave in. Like not only was Clay at the tree but also that he ran back to look for him and grandma.

Luv ur story btw!!♡

He… kinda knows? Ish.

What Branch knows is that Clay had stayed at the Troll Tree, and went missing in the tunnels. And he hasn’t questioned it further. I think deep down… He doesn’t want to know. The less he knows about his brothers, and their leaving/disappearance, the more he can almost emotionally sperate himself from them.

As for whether or not he’ll know before the third movie… We’ll have to wait and see!!!

So glad you’re liking the story!!!

The survivalist

JD's weapons are more deadly because he's usually on the move, discovering new territories.

While Branch prioritize defense and only remained in the territory surrounding Pop village and his bunker.

They r both a little insane

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.

WAAAHHHH LOOK AT HIM! I’m SO glad you like his design! YOU SURROUNDED HIM WITH FIRE NO, HE’S SENSITIVE! Free my man😭

But fr, AMAZING art, I’m so glad you like him!!!

More John Dory from @rydoesartandstuff’s fic Great Decisions

Rock Zombie JD’s design is so fire

Follow up I also think we should let John Dory kill someone. It would be good for the economy.

“Great Decisions” John Dory if he was allowed to kill someone, or multiple someones:

Got me smiling and kicking my feet😭💚

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😋

I think we should put John Dory in the crystal jar and see what happens

BOLD SUGGESTION

That poor boy is already on such a struggle bus, that might kill him😂

Anatomy practice ft. John :P
