#THE DJ IS CRYING FOR HELP

[royalchewy]

This has been sitting in procreate for nearly 5 months, but I finally decided to finish this! It’s been awhile, but this is the final piece of a BroZone and AJR project I randomly started in April! The lyrics explanation will be below and, in case you never saw the art for the other brothers, they can be found here: John Dory Bruce Floyd Branch

Fun Fact: Clay was the first brother I had matched to a song! His was the one I was most excited about, so I had originally decided to save his for last to keep motivation for the others, only for his to take me 5 months to finished from sketch to shading and such (the flat colors were completed awhile ago too, I did pretty much all the shading yesterday and today)

Anyway! Song and lyric explanation. After getting into trolls and then hearing this song, all I could think of was Clay. The opening like was “Everyone's laughin' at me, But not like they used to”, which just felt so in line with his fun boy personality. The song in general seems like how he would feel like his brothers (mainly JD) see him. How they still aren’t taking him seriously and don’t see him has grown up. I think also the feeling of confusion/being lost would maybe be how Clay and many of the putt-putt trolls would feel after the events of band together. All those kind of come together in the lyrics I decided to have in the background of the piece.

I am so happy to have competed this and my whole project for these pieces! It was my first kind of step into the fandom and I still have many more ideas to come! If you read this far, thank you! Please tell me, what other songs you see connecting to other trolls characters?

I've realized I've lost myself these past couple of months. Life isn't this serious. We're all going to die one day, so in the most positive way, FUCK IT. It doesn't all have to matter all of the time. It's okay to not give a fuck, especially in the name of saving your sanity (and temper (but we're not gonna talk about that)). I've felt like utter shit for rough a month and a half, and guess what, it doesn't need to matter!! Life is hard and stressful and letting that feeling of "ohmyfuck this is so intense" roll over in EVERYTHING ELSE, is a recipe for fucking disaster. So guess what? Some shit just doesn't need to matter so don't let it!!!! Your coworkers being a dick? Alright, see you in hell but right now, I'm gonna chill and do my shit. Your boyfriend has no enthusiasm? Alright, I'll do the activity on my own. THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!!!! DO WHAT YOU WANT AND LET YOURSELF BE HAPPY. Yes there's some things we can't avoid, and unfortunately those are gonna suck ass, but that doesn't mean everything has to. There's good shit in this hellfire of responsibility and stress and unfairness. Find it and hold onto it!!! Chances are it's close by and we've just been blinded to it for a little bit. Don't allow yourself to fall down a pit of 24/7 stress...because it definitely happens quicker than you might think.

I've missed me. And I'm gonna get me back. I don't wanna be stressed and sad all the time; that's not life, that's letting others control you. I live for experiences and small little things and complimenting strangers and managing stress healthily, and I'm going to get that back, even if I have to do it alone. I've been 35 at 17 for too fucking long; I won't be left out of my own life.

The DJ is crying for help and they're gonna get some. And I'm convinced no body actually has it truly figured out anyways. We're all just trying to figure out what the fuck to do with ourselves

To Future Me (and anyone else seeing this): I'm proud of you 💛

✨Sketch Dump Time✨

Excited to finally be getting to my last piece for my Brozone and AJR series! The one who sparked it all, TBH. In real middle child fashion, is the last to be included. Here is the song/music video for anyone that wants to listen. Then, playing around with different ideas for a Coraline AU (might do one with Branch as Coraline and Rosiepuff as the Beldam, just for fun)

@tezzbot got me on the self ship grind, here’s two sketches that I think are very cute, because they also got me on that wavelength now.

and finally, some of my OC with the other hunters 10-15 years ago and then around the time of Trolls World Tour (Wani was the last to join)
