Suddenly I was overtook by genius.

Rock Sibblings where Branch is the big brother.

Instead of being kidnapped by Barb, he finds baby Barb crawling around and meets Thrash, who had to bring her along because her babysitter dipped out last minute and she is SO HARD to keep track of. Branch ends up going with Thrash to live with them anyway, and has a very tiny Barb who is obsessed with him.

Barb is 10 years younger than him in this AU and she unfortunately has big ideas.

After Thrash is unable to rule, Branch is named King because Barb is still like 14-15 and he's freaking out because he's not even technically a Rock Troll, how can he rule them?!

As previously mentioned, Barb has big ideas, and she decides she wants to make her brother King of EVERYONE so starts her plot for a World Tour. For it to work she does have to put Branch in a cage but it's fine, he'll love the surprise.

Branch manages to break out just in time to save Poppy from getting hit like he did in canon, turning into a Rock Zombie. Barb freaks out and is like "I can fix it!" and tries to reverse it by changing the setting Pop, which only results in a Pop Zombie. She cycles through all the string settings, giving us a Branch Zombie for each tribe, before Poppy breaks out and the strings get broke. Just Sing happens and afterwards the other leaders are like "Okay we need to talk."

Delta Dawn starts the meeting off by telling Barb how irresponsible and immature she is and how maybe she's not ready to be Queen yet and Branch goes "Okay wait. Pause. Barb's not the queen. Barb, did you tell these people you were queen?"

To which Barb is like "I thought I'd strike a little more fear in them as Queen Barb rather than Princess Barb. Princess Barb doesn't sound very scary, now does it?"

Branch sighs and explains that he's the king, Barb is his little sister and she's only 15-16 which is why she's not the queen. Everyone (other than Poppy) has a moment like "We got invaded by a teenager. We got our asses thoroughly KICKED by a teenager."

Delta asks where the hell Branch has been while they got invaded and Branch is like "I've been in a CAGE, same as you. I didn't think I had to worry when my little sister said she had a surprise and blindfolded me that she would kidnap me, so as you can imagine she had a bit of an upperhand."

Branch grounds Barb and tells her she has to help ALL the tribes clean up, along with all the trolls who thought helping the princess start a Rock Revolution was a good idea.

Branch ends up befriending Trollex and Delta, who give him parenting advice. To be fair, Trollex's isn't so much "parenting" advice as it is "Here's what to do when your protege sets the town on fire by accident" advice but it ends up sounding exactly like parenting advice.

Essence and Quincey try to help but no amount of gentle parenting will work on Barb, who needs to be wrestled to establish your place in the hierarchy.

Trollzart has no valuable suggestions other than a leash, which Branch is strongly considering.

Any new pieces you're working on? Any sketches you wanna share?

I do have plenty of sketches to share and it's related to this AU comic project I'm working on the side. It's called

Chord Striker!

Here's some sketch snippets I've drawn a little while back. Everyone seemed to like it, it's a role swap for World Tour but it's going to be VERY different...

More sketches/art ���↓↓

I think I've posted most of my story snippets of this to my Instagram so check them out there if you'd like to see more! Though, most of my wips will be on my side Twitter acc tho because it's where I'm most active!

Pop!Barb & Rock!Creek

The sillies being gross

Rock!Poppy is definitely a little strange and her motives are a bit questionable... But it seems like she means well, even if she's a little obsessive over people/things she's interested in.

I think Poppy and Barb would be incredibly different kinds of people based on their circumstances, families and personalities if they were leading each other's tribes.

This will take a bit longer to do as it requires me to draw but hope you like the idea!

Animals Continued

Once the World Tour is taken care of, with the rock trolls agreeing to help with the damages, the rest of the tribes return to their respective territories. There's just one issue, the wild life have gotten bolder.

Since the attack, many of their defenses have been destroyed, causing the local wildlife to get closer to the residents. There haven't been any attacks, but it does make the citizens nervous.

Techno trolls have sharks, eels, and large squid that are their natural predators. It's also the time of year for the giant mana ray migration, so they need to figure out a way to redirect them without their tech.

The Classical trolls have large preditory birds to worry about, and they're having trouble getting their eighth goats under control.

The Country trolls have many poisoness animals in the desert. Their cattle have been scared off so many times that they won't get close to the town.

The Funk trolls have to stay grounded until repairs are done on the ship, since they haven't been on the ground for so long, they're not quite sure how to deal with many of the creatures.

The Rock trolls also have a problem, with so many of the citizens in different territories to help with repairs. They've neglected their own issues with the lava crocs and boulder buzzards.

When Poppy learns of this, she sends in the one troll who can help them.

Enter Branch.

At first, Branch was a little apprehensive to leave the village, they still have some repairs to do, and it's mating season for the puffalo. The Snack Pack tell him that they can handle the reconstruction and Milton can help with the puffalo. So he packs up his bags and starts heading toward the other tribes.

Xxx

Branch spends a month in each tribe to do his job. He tackles the predators first, spending two weeks studying their habits and memorizing their sounds. Once he finds a pattern in the communication or an exploitable weakness, he makes a strategy and collaborates with the other trolls on how to best go through it. Some animals he was able to convince to move areas, others he had no choice but use force.

Once the predators are taken care of, he gets to the domestic animals. Like before, he memorizes the habits and sounds. Once he has a form of communication going, he'll ask them what they need. He then relays the message to the trolls, and they start making accommodations.

The other tribes notice how their pets and livestock seem much calmer around the once gray troll. Even the more temperamental of their creature become putty in his hands. Many have called him the 'Animal Whisperer', and the more romantic types call him an Angel.

To say thanks for helping them, each tribe gives him an animal.

Techno gave him a Low beat Turtle, similar to Suki's bugs, the have a turntable on their back. They can move on land and can create a low vibration sound that has a calming effect.

Classical gave him three eighth goats as they do better in a herd than by themselves. Their wool is fluffy and warm, making incredible blankets, pillows, and sweaters. They also have a melodious bleat.

Country gave him a dairy Bluegrass Buffalo, they're a sandy blue color cow. They make a delicious and nutritious milk and are very gentle.

Funk gave him a snug-a-lug since Branch can talk to them. He can figure out how to hug it without multiplying. And yes, Branch can make that cute little warble it does.

Rock gave him a Lava Snake, they vary in color from dark red to an ashy gray. Their hide is very tough while their underbelly is quite soft. They can withstand extremely high temperatures, and their skin can be melted to create many things once they shed. The young one likes to sleep in the fireplace.

The animals in Pop village take them under their tutelage to become Branch's bodyguards, unbeknownst to him.

My take on Branch staying a rock zombie

(In this scenario, Branch stayed zombie because he's half rock)

Peppy order to cage him while Poppy is out looking for his brothers to save him using The Perfect Harmony.
