I mean, yeah, good explanation. I see the vision, even if I'm not as into it.

What made you decide to have Ivy be an unexpected child instead of a planned one?

Hmmm I've gotten asks like these several times over the last few weeks and I'm going to just answer this one, only once, and then leave it at this lol. Because realistically there isn't much to my choice to make them have an unplanned baby, sometimes that's life and you take it as it comes. And to me, I like having a story that has bumps in the road that characters can work together to overcome.

In my AU, Ivy was unplanned and her egg arrived during the period of time where Branch and Poppy had been together for some time, and are now in the depths of their wedding planning. Also, like many others in this fandom, I'm a believer that troll eggs can come from love at its purest form. And that's all it takes, when two trolls are so in sync and love and understand each other deeply, they can create an egg through love and magic. I think that Branch and Poppy were so in love during their engagement, the reality of becoming partners for life and the excitement of what's to come, those feelings manifested into love in the form of an egg. In my story, kids were not a topic they had thought to discuss because so many other things were requiring their focus and attention. Ivy sort of happened and they handled the cards they were dealt. It was another challenge to face but they were doing it together, like they always have.

And because I've seen this around also- just because they had a surprise baby it does not mean they would love her any less or be ashamed to have her, and nobody in their circle would be disappointed in them. Their village has their back through it all, and are happy to support them through any and all of their challenges.  That's really all there is to it. And coming from me, an "oops" baby myself, I just think making it happen this way is relatable to me. 🤪

It makes for an interesting story and I love it for the drama and the emotional aspect.

Lavender's character sheet! I have more drawings of her coming including more outfits I had in mind, still figuring out a consistent style! ❤

[justine1268]

More about "using protection against love": that depends. If there's a physical act needed (which can only be sucessful when two trolls have reciprocated feelings) then physical barriers could be used. If there's gametes involved (that, like, only are created and can meet when two trolls have reciprocated feelings) then hormonal block is also a possibility.

But if it relies on solely the mutual feelings and nothing else is needed, then there's no way to prevent it, that would be right. Trolls would have no choice but to accept that if they're in love, then an egg might just pop out.

If all you meant was something like "How could you want to stop love?" jokingly well of course I don't haha that's not my point.

We seriously need to invest in some birth control for the characters in this fandom ALL THESE UNPLANNED FANKIDS POPPING OUTTA NOWHERE

[justine1268]

Well I mean yeah. It's true that just because they're unplanned doesn't mean they're unloved. But like I said, I have my reasons to not enjoy that scenario and to feel uncomfortable about it. If you do then go ahead, I won't stop you. Also we don't know for sure that troll eggs happen out of love in canon, but if they can't prevent eggs then it's an other story

We seriously need to invest in some birth control for the characters in this fandom ALL THESE UNPLANNED FANKIDS POPPING OUTTA NOWHERE

[justine1268]

Yeah, well, personally I REALLY am not a fan of the idea for various reasons but if anyone likes it I'll leave them to it lol I'm not gonna tell anyone what to like! It's just something I personally am not comfortable with.

Around fellow fans, I got to agree to disagree sometimes! I accept that I'm in a fandom here that isn't often on the same page as me on some subjects. I have to not take that personally, even though it's hard not to when I'm so invested in the characters and their relationships.

Also omg hello 😭 I didn't expect attention from a well known fan artist!!

[justine1268]

Nah you don't get it, Broppy's been my number 1 ship for so darn long, literally since I'm 10, and to such an intense extent that I have so many standards for how Branch and Poppy's relationship should go next.

Like, I really want them to stay exactly like they are in Holiday in Harmony and Band Together or even better or else I don't want it.

If we get any joke/allusion about them being intimate I better be somewhat able to figure if they're safe with each other.

I want to see them both wanting to propose to each other (maybe Poppy asking him to be her prince consort first), I need to see the proposal itself, I BETTER see the wedding with either one of them walking down the asile, everyone getting emotional especially the couple when they see each other in their outfits, but I especially want to see Poppy carrying Branch in her arms. PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME

I want Branch to be king but at the same time I don't want him to have responsibilities that he does not want or do as well in.

I want them to have children but certainly not so soon timeline wise and certainly towards the end of the franchise and for it to have been wanted and planned before it happens.

And lastly PLEASE let them get old together. Let the franchise evolve with them getting older to the point where we can notice Poppy's ponytail get larger and droopier and Branch get a little stubble or something. Let the franchise end with them as an old couple reminiscing about their life and still having that affectionate grumpy and sunshine banter.

If I can get these things, my life is yours, DreamWorks.

[justine1268]

Hey Tumblr, y'all got room for one more Trolls fan artist? Maybe? 👉👈

Here's my trollsona Lavender! ❤

[justine1268]

I think I finally figured what makes me so uncomfortable about accidental/unplanned/unexpected/unwanted at first trolls fankids in general: it's the idea of the characters not being safe around each other in a lot of scenarios, and sometimes, that it could very much breach their trust in each other.

Obviously, everyone likes shipping content for different reasons.

Look, I do see why people love these aus. The thing is, they create a scenario where both characters need to work together and closely, plus with a cute baby we can gawk at and adore. Usually at some point the ship ends up blossoming and it's a happy ever after. So everything works out and they love their family.

But personally, I don't appreciate that execution of things most of the time because I always lean towards different kinds of relationships and progressions than those and in a way, I feel like it just destabilizes me to see them like that when I hold them to different standards and expectations. So yeah, that's just me. But hey, if you love your initially unwanted babies I shouldn't be one to judge! It's great that the fandom has grown so much in the first place. I wouldn't have had anything to complain about three years ago! 😆

For Broppy, too, I believe it's like it's going against everything their relationship has been building up to. Everything I love them for.

Anyways I'll stop rambling about this subject because I don't want to bring too much negativity in the fandom and I don't want to just be hateful about stuff

[justine1268]

Exactly!! He's still dealing with a lot and it's so recent, I want them to take their time. Even if the time between the first and second movies is like, a few years, I want them to wait until their relationship has really settled.

I think he should be able to enjoy it to the most of his abilities and as you said, post-partum depression isn't something I want added to the mix of everything he's going through.

I love the idea of them getting their egg once they've gotten a bit older. Branch would have become warmer, more in touch with his emotions and just more peaceful and relaxed in general. Poppy also would've become a bit calmer, more stable and wiser with time. Just, you know...more life baggage and experience.

Their lives would've fallen into a rythim that they're both doing great with too.

Branch would DEFINITELY want to plan that out. He plans every single thing he does in a day, he obviously will want to be as ready as he can be to have a child. He can never really be prepared enough and for everything, but he can be WAY more in a context where they control when they get children.

I want them to have that sense of security!

Genuine Question About Broppy getting Children In The Future... (long rant incoming)

Am I the only one who really wouldn't like an accidental/"surprise"/ unexpected/unwanted/unplanned/unintended Broppy child in future canon and who isn't really all that overjoyed about the idea of them having one in the future in general? I want to know.

I kind of feel like the only one because I haven't seen anyone else be so genuinely confused as to why the first situation is such a widespread and beloved thing in the fandom. If you do, please feel free to let me know what you find so appealing about it, because I'm not so sure I understand in all honesty and I want to get it.

I want to say that I really don't mean to come across as rude or hateful towards anyone who created Broppy children that would fit into the current canon who were unplanned! I just want to give my own perspective on it and why I personally feel iffy about that scenario.

A lot of my opinion here is also related to my personal attachment towards the ship itself. It's the first one I've had and for more than 7 years at the time of writing this, they've consistently been part of my life during this time. It's the ship I've been invested in the most.

The reason why I'm worried about this is because in Shrek, an other DreamWorks franchise, him and his wife had unexpected children. If they decide to make an other story like this:

Branch and Poppy is one of their few romantic relationships from ongoing franchises and a very popular one at the moment, so it could be with them.

There's a multitude of reasons why I rather have them want and desire a child before it happens and also to have it be almost a last part of the franchise addition. Like, one of the last things we get out of their relationship.

If it happens accidentally, depending on the context, it could likely be because they weren't careful. I feel like this is especially out of Branch's character. We know one of his major traits is making things the safest possible, he's hectic whenever something could be trouble. I think he probably would put action to avoid getting an unwanted egg as much as he could. We know Poppy can be kind of reckless, but she listens to Branch now and I don't think she is enough to not do any prevention and roll with it. She loves to throw herself head first into danger, but when she truly thinks she'll be okay. If she knows her own safety or well-being are really at risk, she takes it more seriously.

Obviously, putting characters through tough situations is the whole point of a storyline, but when it comes to them getting a child, it is something that (I'm assuming because we don't really know much about that yet) they CAN or at least should be able to control so...I think they should.

I don't want them having a toddler to get in the way of their relationship. I want lots more of just them two. A toddler, unless they don't show up for much, would take up a lot of moments that would otherwise be only with them. I want to get a lot more moments of solely them and focusing on their relationship with each other before a baby comes in!

Their characters, if, let's say, an infant or egg is with them during most events of a movie, I believe would be reduced to having to meet their needs. They're now tied down to needing to care for them and they lose that freedom they currently have. They'll have to be like "Ah, no, can't do that, got a baby." I don't want that.

I find it still way too early in canon for them to have children and that they should really be able to enjoy their time together and with their loved ones for now. Considering all Branch has gone through and the years he spent alone, being at such a low point, I don't want him to have the added responsibility, stress and worries of a parent so soon. I want him to be able to just have good times and hang out with his friends, girlfriend and family.

Both him and Poppy are so busy already, not to mention Branch is a person who really needs alone time. Give him a baby and that's going to be a whole lot harder.

It doesn't even seem to me like it's something they want in the future for now. Branch wants to marry Poppy, we already know that, but neither of them have ever mentioned wanting to have kids someday. Poppy already works with little trolls and loves it, but she has never said she wants one herself someday. Branch doesn't seem like it's crossing his mind. All he wants is to be Poppy's significant other.

I don't want a "surprise" Broppy kid and not know what went wrong or why it was so. If it's like Shrek, they'll leave that part ambiguous and I am not going to be happy about that. If they're going down that road, I at least want to know if they were intending on being careful at all. (Obviously brought up in a way that's appropriate for PG content).

Kids being raised by parents who didn't want them to arrive isn't ideal to me. Yes, parents can have regrets on deciding to have children in a way down the line and it doesn't mean they'll do a bad job, I agree the ship would make awesome parents, but it can be a lot more difficult thanks to that.

Look. I love the idea of them having little ones someday, I really do! I just wish it to happen way later on in the timeline than now, and most of all, I seriously want them to intend and want to have a baby before they do (we'll likely know if it's accidental, since, like I said, they did that in Shrek).

Scenarios I'd appreciate in canon:

1- They get married or just engaged in whichever next installment we'll get or stay only a couple and have a child or children that they planned on having years later.

2- They adopt a child/children which they either stumble upon or meet at an orphanage. They still look like their own, their colors being a sort of mix between Branch and Poppy's possible colors and being pop trolls (honestly, my favorite idea for a Broppy child).

3- It arrives at least a couple years after their romantic relationship has started (either still a committed couple, engaged or married), it wasn't intended or expected at all, from an unknowingly failed appropriate prevention method. They would be suggested the opportunity to abort, but they choose to keep their egg/eggs that resulted and raise them.

Scenarios I don't want:

1- It's a Shrek The Third 2.0 where it's left very ambiguous what happened with any time jump or none.

2- Unwanted egg from not trying to prevent it, no time jump at all. They have to raise their child/children as the early official couple they are now.

3- A baby/babies they didn't want and weren't careful for with a truly effective method, years or not after they're made official.

4- The child wasn't really wanted from both sides. Either one of them wasn't actually happy about the idea.

If we mostly get content of them out of the newborn stage (between about 5-18 years old), we get to know them once they already have built a personality. The child also has some amount of autonomy so the parents won't have to impose as much and we can still get only them both interacting pretty often. Kind of like in How To Train Your Dragon where Nuffink and Zephyr were already kids when we met them.

I think that's the idea I'd enjoy the most. Branch and Poppy wouldn't be tied down as much(also yes I'd want to see them getting older. Something so bittersweet in seeing a long time ship of mine age together...chef's kiss with that.) I'd get attached to the child a lot more easily as a character and I'd just love to see how the couple handles their youth.

Like I said: I do see lots of positives. I love the idea of them getting a child to build sweet, deep bonds with. The idea of caring, super invested dad Branch makes me melt. Him getting through that has something that can beautiful and powerful considering his story. It adds another person for him to love. A lot of wholesomeness and emotions to be explored! It can bring more to his relationship with Poppy as well! A supportive dynamic that's always ready to advise each other and to work through when it gets harder...yeah. It's simply great! It's a good foundation for a child to grow up on.

I just have some preferences for how it happens. Thank you for reading my long opinion piece!

Hexy and Gexa get to properly meet {Arcane fan stories series n.5, story 3}

Gexa felt quite sorry for the other girl when she got locked up in the interrogation cells. She was going to defend her so she wouldn't have to go through worse for no reason.

Before, though, she wanted to finally properly meet her. Especially if she thought to be on her side...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was dark in there, but some light still came out of the window. I could only hear faint sounds, it wasn't too reassuring. Why was I here and was that girl going to help me?

Footsteps went closer to the door and I saw four shadows at the bottom of it.

The door loudly opened with creaks and clanks. Next to the guard who opened it, there she was. The expression on her face showed loads of comprehension and empathy, especially her eyes. I didn't let my guard down for much, though, what if she was going to go against me? What if she was not as good intentionned as she seemed? But what if...maybe...

"Uh, hey...this all really sucks, I uh...I'm going to tell them you did nothing wrong. I'm on your side. You don't deserve to be thrown in Stillwater, at least not for that." Her quiet voice echoed through the cell.

"Hm....thank you." I crisped my eyes. I didn't want to sound rude, but I was still analyzing this new person, so I answered quickly.

To my surprise, what I had was a kind smile in return. Maybe I could worry less?

"I spoke with the sheriff, it's in their code and obligations to interrogate you. They shouldn't be too hard on you." She leaned her head and shrugged.

"Yeah? Hopefully they aren't." I was so scared, how would my parents feel? Could I even tell these people everything? I'd be supposed to get back soon..

The girl sat down on one of the benches. She seemed to not have a worry and to be completely comfortable. I was only nervous. I paced around the metal floor.

"My name is Gexa, by the way!" She gave me the information with a soft voice.

"Hexy." I decided facing her wouldn't be so bad, after all, so I stopped walking in front of her.

"Okay. I'm glad I can finally meet you!" She saccaded out positively.

My eyes got wider. No one had spoken this kindly to me in months. It was always harsh rejections, angry comments and critiques, being pushed away from anyone. If she turned out misleading me, so was it, I wanted to accept that kindness.

I turned around and slowly angled myself towards her and stopped in my tracks. She seemed surprised to see the two scars on my face. They were easily noticeable, that's for sure.

I looked at her at bit more. I didn't bother to notice at first, but...she was gorgeous. At least, to me she was.

"I like your eyes!" The realization hit me right after. Had I REALLY just said that?!

Gexa giggled to herself. "Thank you, I guess!"

"I'm so sorry I said that! I'm sorry!" I pushed my palm onto my face. I was so angry at myself.

"No, it's alright!" The girl waved her arms down twice.

I looked at her with a disapointment smile and walked towards her more. She stopped smiling as wide and stared with large eyes. Was i scaring her? She stood there so I guessed sur was not?

I barely noticed I was right in front of her. Was I imaginating things or was I breathing harder than before? Being in this damp cell, while my eyes were starting to fall on their own, maybe made me hallucinate.

She kept her attention on me.

"I hope you get out of this fine."

I found myself back to how I felt minutes ago. I realized she took me out of my earlier thoughts during the last few minutes. Was she really grabbing my attention that much? "I hope so too." I went besides my new acquaintance and leaned against the wall. I suddenly felt my face get warmer.

How was that happening? I got my head down so that she wouldn't see it. I didn't know her, why was I acting like this?

Was I really seeing my walls slowly crumble for this stranger? One thing was for sure, I wanted to get to know her already.

A huge creaking sound caught us both by surprise. The door opened and we both froze To pay attention.

A tough looking enforcer with pink hair, tougher looking than me, stood in front of the door. Her expression didn't appear cold when she saw Gexa. "Oh, hey!" She turned to me and looked me up and down in once glance. "You gotta get to it kid. You can both follow me." She waited for me and Gexa and we went to a dark room with little lighting, except for one big light that really hurt my my eyes once I sat and had it in my face.

I leaned as far as possible from it. There was a tall woman with a badge on her uniform. She started asking me questions right away.

"So, do you know why noxian soldiers were running after you?"

"I'm from Ionia and my people are at war with them. They have chased me once before, maybe because they thought I was too close to their border. Maybe they think I'm a threat because of that now. I don't know."

"Okay, so you are saying that there was no real reason why they were chasing you?" She made sure she understood what that meant.

"I mean...yeah, I didin't volate any of their rules." The way she spoke was a little off to me. It seemed like she found was she was saying ridiculous.

"Now, Gexa, do you have any information to give on this?" The sheriff asked.

"Yes, I was there when it happened, actually. She did not cross any border and was not near camps."

Neither was she. Now that I thought about it, I wondered why she didn't also get interrogated, considering that she was in the same situation as me.

"Okay. Well, for that, there isn't much I can do. However, if there is a witness who says you did nothing wrong on this occasion, then there is no proven reason why we should get you in Stillwater." The woman raised her bright eyes towards someone in the back of the room.

"The case can then be closed. No need to take it to our council." The way the enforcers' leader spoke made it seem like that council wasn't all that great.

"You can now leave and get back home. We don't have anything else related to this case to talk about." She was now warm and kind. I felt relief fill me completely. I looked at Gexa and smiled back at her.

________________________

As I walked out again, Hebosa immediately raced to me. He was all good, so I was not worried about him. I could only pay attention to the girl I just met. I really wanted to get to know her. She was the kindest person I met in a long time. I wanted to see her more after this.

I decided to let her know everything before I could check on my family, I wantet to crash in this city more often from now on. "I'm going to have to go see my family. I would have already gone back by now. Thank you for helping me!"

"Of course!" She smiled kindly. " The sheriff is very kind and she treats everyone well. Her second is a little rougher and harder to get to, but she also has a lot of good once she gets to know someone."

"Yeah, I realized that. I'm most likely going to come back here soon." I got my hand out so we could shake.

Gexa took it and she had that caring expression again.

"See you soon, then!"

"See you around!"

She flew away with her owl and I went back on track, not being able to stop smiling.

First meeting in a trial cell was not a very good first impression, but she knew the truth and she didn't seem to care too much.

It was maybe the start of something great for me and I couldn't wait to find out.

A Job For Jinx {Arcane fan stories series n series n.4, story 2}

Gexa walked nervously down the streets of Zaun, holding brown bags of food. Maisa also carried bags in her claws, flapping behind her.

"Jinx!" She called again and again. She did not want to call this name out. No one wanted to, it was a death sentence for some people.

But at the moment, it was the only name she knew that was avaliable and might accept to do this.

That said, she did not come unprepared, wearing her bulletproof vest that covered her upper body under her cloak.

"Jinx!" She yelled again, her voice resonating in the alley. After that last call, an other sound echoed from above. This time, something climbing down towards her.

Gexa rose her head and hasard when she noticed the face of the woman she was calling starting at her nonchalantly.

She froze immediately and gulped as she examined her.

"Most people never ask for me to show up." Jinx did seem a little intrigued. She dropped in front of the turcoise haired girl and Maisa screeched.

"No, no, hold it, girl." Gexa calmed the bird down.

Jinx analyzed the pair again. "What's the meaning for this?"

"We came to give food to families here. I can't stay here for long because I have to go somewhere else soon. You were the only person we could go to at the moment." Gexa's voice rang with concern and worry.

Jinx was surprised someone cared about the undercity like that.

"I know some really need it and I thought you'd maybe have the heart to do it. After all, you only attack Piltover. I can get you the currency here if you want to-"

"No." Jinx quickly responded. "The fact that you asked for me to show up is enough to know you really want this."

Gexa was happily surprised. The blue haired girl suddenly slammed a smoke bomb towards Gexa, making her and her owl jump in the air.

When she could see clearly again, the bags were gone and she got to quickly catch a manical grin and chuckle on the gadgeteer's face before she disapeared in the darkness of the city.

Gexa leaned against a wall and sighed in relief.

Now, Jinx had something to do for a while.

Big Sis Of The Underground {Arcane fan stories series n.3, story 1}

This is the first time I make a first person point of view story! Hope you like it!

When I first met her, I thought all that Vi had was a tough exterior, that she wouldn't ever show emotion or be sentimental. But as I got to know her, I quickly realised I was wrong. Still...I wasn't sure. Until I fought beside her for the first time.

I couldn't handle it anymore. I was too exhausted. Hexy had already escaped. The opponents had way more energy than I could handle that moment.

I am not a fighter, I don't have to handle much most of the time.

I had to leave. I sent looks to the others to let them know I had to stop. They saw I couldn't keep going much longer, only to make sure I got out okay.

The chem-punk I was holding back had been trying to harm me for too long. He was starting to get closer and closer.

To my surprise, it wasn't Caitlyn who stepped up to help, nor Ekko. I saw Vi's gauntlets hit the man's face and him faltering.

I kept pushing and hitting him back so that he wouldn't get to me. I started to feel my breath shortening and my arms getting numb. I couldn't do much anymore. Vi finally pushed him back far enough.

I felt my legs soften and I dropped as slowly as possible on the ground. I could see Vi making a concerned face towards my direction before I closed my eyes. I probably passed out, because there is a gap in my memory.

I woke up. I heard the sound of calm and slow heavy footsteps towards me. I opened my eyes and I saw Vi crouching in front of me with the same conern as before in her eyes. She didn't have her gauntlets on anymore. "Hey, you awake?" She asked me quietly.

"It's over, kid" she quickly mumbled under her breath. "I'll be right back." She softly rubbed her large hand on my knee, got up and went to Caitlyn and Ekko, who were both laying on the ground like me, full of wounds.

After getting them to safety, she walked back up to me. "I'm going to get you with the others, okay?" She still spoke with a soft and reassuring tone.

"Yeah, yeah, do it!" I managed to husk out and nodded my head to let her know I wasn't worried. She smiled lightly, got her arm on my back, grabbed mine and pulled me up.

As we were walking, she kept making sure I was good to keep going. "I'm sorry you have to do things like this...I know you don't like to fight...but it's the way down here."

I was surprised to hear her say this. As I sat down again, she checked me again. "Do you need anything?" She seemed ready to do anything.

"Yeah, Hexy will have it when she's back. I can wait." I knew she was probably on her way back.

"Alright. If you do need my help, tell me." I nodded. It was like I didn't feel hurt anymore. Vi's presence felt much different than usual. I never felt like that before. I felt like I was safe, like I was protected and supported.

Was that what it feels like to have an older sibling?

She kept her attention on me for a couple more seconds, smiling lightly but warmly and with worry. "I hope you know I'm always there to defend you if you want it."

I smiled and almost teared up. How did she make me feel like this, sheltered and loved. I was so surprised, but I welcomed it.

Once we could all leave, I stopped a moment. "Hey, Vi." She stopped quickly and turned around. "Yeah?"

I went forward and embraced her. She was surprised at first, but returned it with a bear hug.

"Thank you." I wanted to make sure she knew I was very glad she helped me.

"It's nothing, kid. I just want to help."

Then, from this day I knew that even if Vi doesn't always seem like a person who can be sensible...she is the first one to jump in to be there when she likes you.
