[thatbennybee]

What's her problem bro... Can't a depressed hermit just live in the woods without an incredibly attractive alt girl bothering him jeez

12 yr old branch just gathering supplies for his bunker

Keith sees Branch differently than how the others sees him. He just doesn’t understand why. Why do the other trolls look at him like that? Why do they talk about him like that? It's not nice.

Branch doesn’t have the heart to explain it.

These two have consumed my brain!

Kinda fell into a small Trolls phase, had a cute au for Trolls 1 idea I thought people would like.

There's rumors around the village of a beautiful singer with the voice of an angel that sings only late at night when everyone else is asleep I their pods and nobody can hear them, and Poppy is desperate to figure out who this mystery singer is and tries to solve the mystery with the rest of the Snack Pack. When they finally catch sight of the mystery singer, it's the last troll they ever expected it to be.

Or the Branch never fully gave up music after turning gray and performs in secret when nobody else can hear him au

Hypno-Pop Fem!Branch AU

Two AUs in one! I was thinking about the Hypno Pop AU by @djmurphy and listening to Britney Spears and I was like... "Huh. Theses two fit really well together." And then I starting thinking about the Idol industry and I was like. "Ok I have to make something." So here it is! I plan on writing a fic too, but so far I have a rough idea of how this goes

Fem!Branch Hypno-Pop AU

Branch - Queen B, Mega popstar and savior of the pop trolls alongside Poppy 

Poppy - Branch’s SDBFFFL (Super Duper Best Friend Forever For Life - acronym by Poppy) savior of the pop trolls alongside Branch 

Creek - Branch’s Manager and Boyfriend (wanna clarify he's just a slob, the last picture isn't trying to imply anything violent)

(it's eventual Broppy, throw in some Peppy bashing, brotherly kismet, and supportive snack pack)

After the escape from the Troll Tree, King Peppy uses the power of the string to basically brainwash Branch, she becomes Poppy’s best friend and continues to perform as Bitty B until she gets older and Creek becomes her manager after they start dating (yes he pursued her with that in mind). 

Creek decides most of her outfits and while she’s allowed to write her own music it has to be approved by Peppy and Creek first so most of her lyrics are watered down or double meanings. She has to go to Peppy pretty much everyday to get a re-up on the string’s power otherwise the negative emotions being dulled by its effects start to creep in and her colors dull.

Creek suggests she rebrand to something a little more mature, to try and perform as a woman instead of a girl while keeping up her friendly persona. It was a difficult tightrope to work but with Creek’s help she does it subtly over time with her dress and lyrics becoming more mature, culminating in her rebrand as Queen B. This happened on the 20th Anniversary of the Trollstice and the chef, thinking she was Poppy since the crowd was calling her Queen, took her and a few others, Creek included. 

Trolls 1 follows a similar flow but Creek does not get outed as a traitor, instead giving up cowbell up when the Chef threatens to eat Branch, because this was to save someone Poppy loves she understands it more and while very upset, her colors come back after Bridget saves everyone and the bergens realize they can be happy without the Trolls. Branch does not regain her colors at this time.

In this AU World Tour happens later, and instead Branch's brothers are together. JD went back to the Troll Tree like in the movie and finds no one but after he left he a few years later found the Putt Putt course by pure coincidence and reconnects with Clay. JD is grey when they meet and even though Clay has issues with his brother he doesn't want to see him like that so they decide to find the others. They track Floyd and realize he left too and Branch might be alone so they get Bruce and try to look for her. They eventually find Pop Village and find a show is being put on by some pop queen named "Queen Bee" and she's... singing a cover of their song??

(Alt lyrics for perfect)

Da-da, da-da-da

Da-da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da (Queen B)

Da-da-da, da-da-da

Well, there she goes

On the floor, let's do this, no more talkin' (no more talkin'), huh-uh

Did anybody notice?

The energy just shifted when I dropped in

Ooh, let it drop in (let it drop in), ooh

I don't flex, but I might

Groove about to take flight

'Cause the night is young and the music's on

You’ll fall in love on sight

The sky was the limit

Now, the stars where I’m livin'

It's the vibe and I’m in it

And I’ll blow your mind

I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

A hundred percent

Put us together you know what you'll get

Yeah, I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

Harmony's so cold

And you'll never, ever wanna let me go

Ooh

They keep on watchin' me, watchin' me

I don't pay them no mind (She don't pay them no mind, no mind, no mind)

There ain't no stoppin', no stoppin' me

I ain't pressin' rewind (rewind, rewind)

And the sky was the limit

Now, the stars where I’m livin'

It's the vibe when I’m in it

And I’ll blow your mind

I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

A hundred percent

Put us together you know what you'll get

Yeah, I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

Harmony's so cold

And you'll never, ever wanna let me go

Won't let me go

I don't flex but I might

Groove about to take flight

'Cause the night is young and the music's on

And you fell in love on sight

Yeah, I don't flex but I will

I ain't lack the skills

'Cause when I do my dance, you put up your hands

Yeah, you can buy these thrills

And I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

A hundred percent

Put us together you know what you'll get

Yeah, I’m so perfect, perfect, perfect

Harmony's so cold

And you'll never, ever wanna let me go (go)

Ooh

Perfect, perfect, perfect

♪Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, get back up again!♪

Poppy I am begging for you to just be normal and let Branch lead the way 🙏 you are going to die sweetie

Lil thought experiment for Trolls Tumblr;

How do u guys think the other genres would react to Branch pre trolls 1? Like imagine if the leaders and other troll genres got to see Branch before he got his colors back, how do u think they would treat him?

Do u think they would be on the same level as the Pop Trolls? I.e shunning, mocking, or just flat out ignoring

Or do you guys think they would be more understanding and sympathetic of his truama?

I'll answer my own question by saying I definitely think they would all be much more understanding compared to the Pop Trolls. That level of understand and sympathy could vary depending on the genre sure, but I personally don't think any of the other tribes would give Branch the horrible treatment the Pop Trolls gave and might honestly be upset at how the Pop Trolls are treating Branch.

Reasoning why varies, but most of my reasoning comes from my own personal headcanons about what turning Grey does to a troll as well as what we know In the movies.

That's just MY option though, what do you guys think? I'm curious to see what others may say abo6t this

[pufffinn]

grey branch makes me so sad. don’t look at me guys

[thebeloathed]

Trolls obsession made me write fanfiction for the very first time (the first chapter is short but I'm posting the 2000 words long second chapter tomorrow at some point)

[thelazypony]

And here’s a grey / sorta feral branch~

I’m still working on his design

[empressgeekt]

Okay, so inspiration hit me like a lightning bolt and I managed to finish the AU's prolog fic. It will take time for the others, but this is ready. SO I thought ya'll like to see it.

Welcome to Field of Forgetmenots!
