Part 1
In continuation to my Hook AU, I’ll be skimming over Clay and Viva’s situation and share a few ideas on how Clay would react to the news:
In the escape from Bergen Town, Poppy is like a year old and Branch is a bit older than her, he’s almost 3 (mostly because I don’t know what Poppy’s age is)
Brozone and Grandma Rosiepuff are still alive and are present for the escape
Their parents had died right before Branch’s first birthday
Viva and some of the other trolls are still separated in the tunnels
Suffering from this loss, King Peppy encourages Brozone to start a concert again as they are the last band with all members present, in hopes to boost troll morale
Due to this pressure, John Dory pushes all of his brothers to be at their very best, which causes a strain for his brothers, especially Clay who is grieving Viva
King Peppy is the one who tells John Dory about the perfect family harmony, which only causes more pressure for the brothers once JD ends up promising other trolls they’d pull it off
They spilt up like in canon, leaving Branch with their Grandma as they are now safe from the Bergens and have no reason to worry
On Clay’s journey, which takes a few months, he stumbles upon the Putt Putt Trolls and Viva, who had believed they were the only survivors
Assuring Viva that they had successfully relocated, he is able to coax some of the trolls to go with him to prove it’s safe
However, when they go back, the new village is deserted, and Clay’s brothers and Grandma are nowhere to be found
Clay then goes back with the Putt Putt trolls and helps Viva as a co-leader, growing up to wonder if his older siblings had survived or not
The overall idea of this is that Branch and Rosiepuff had been left behind because the brothers genuinely didn’t think they’d be in danger now that the trolls were away from the Bergens
As for why the new tree had been deserted, Rosiepuff is taken by Chef, which a few trolls had ended up witnessing, and once King Peppy hears of this, he has his people move further into the forest as he is not willing to lose any more trolls
Branch, now grey and an outcast, goes with them as he does not wish to let Rosiepuff’s sacrifice be in vain, hence why is obsessed with building the bunker, to be safe and alive
My ideas with how Clay reacts to the news of JD’s death and his newly 17-year old son who had been raised by the Rock Trolls
He’s angry that JD died, that he hadn’t gone through with the idea of looking for him at the Neverglade Forest like he had planned to when he came back from the deserted village
He’s resentful that he would never be able to yell at JD for the role he pushed him in, that he’ll never be able to find out if JD would’ve apologized, if he’d accept the troll he had become
He’s wary and uncertain towards Hook, JD’s son, because he looks so much like his father and he acts like him sometimes, that anger boils inside of him
However, Hook is the last remnant of JD and his nephew, so he tries his best to bond with him and pretend everything is okay
Whenever Hook asks Clay about JD, he either refuses to say anything or has him ask Bruce or Floyd
Clay also tries to be friendly with the Rock Trolls, though their interactions are awkward once he finds out about Queen Barb and the strings
Clay’s role may change as I am still in the drafts with deciding how Hook’s relationship would be with the brothers and how that affects the events from the third movie. Heck, I’m still debating whether it should be Hook who gets captured, just so Brozone finds out they have to save the son of their dead brother and a bigger risk of the Family Harmony not working.
Next part will be more about Hook :)

if the Academy put on a production of Heathers and the cast was tbosas mentors
Veronica Sawyer: Persephone Price (Festus sat in the audience and either stewed in jealousy or made jokes to Coriolanus about 'needing to get into theatre so he could get that' during dead girl walking)
Jason Dean: Hilarius Heavensbee (Livia made a joke about getting Coriolanus to play JD just to get him to sing "not anymore, when mom was alive" in freeze your brain)
Heather Chandler: Livia Cardew
Heather McNamara: Iphigenia Moss
Heather Duke: Juno Phipps (Palmyra was going to try out but got nervous and figured Livia was going to be Heather Chandler anyway so she didn't want to be around her. Clemensia auditioned but ultimately decided against it in favour for like science club or something boring with Coriolanus because it allowed them more time to gossip)
Kurt Kelly: Apollo Ring
Ram Sweeney: Gaius Breen
pleasepleaseplease add to this with who you think would play characters, I want to fully fledge out the cast to the best of the casting abilities
#also can someone explain to me why JD and coriolanus are so similar??#dead mums and shitty dads#technically killed 3 people but didnt kill the third with their own hands#instead using someone else to physically kill them even though they set them up#excessive gay allegations either in the piece of media or from the fandom#mommy issues#like guys wrap it up#persephone price#festus creed#coriolanus snow#livia cardew#iphigenia moss#juno phipps#palmyra monty#clemensia dovecote#hilarius heavensbee#apollo ring#gaius breen#tbosas mentors#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#veronica sawyer#jason dean#heather chandler#heather mcnamara#heather duke#kurt kelly#ram sweeney#heathers#heathers the musical#anneliese rambles

What's the point of the coffins?
Something I've been thinking about recently are the coffins. Susie, Norman, Bertrum, Grant, and Lacie all get coffins- but why?
Let's start with Susie. Out of all the human characters we meet, her story is one of the most developed. She grew attached to her role as Alice's voice actress, and, after being replaced, was devastated. Joey took advantage of this, and made a deal with her. We don't learn the details, but in Chapter 3 Alice sometimes refers to herself as Susie, and we get a coffin with her name on it. It's easy to assume that she was killed to bring Alice Angel to life, but considering what we know now about how ink creatures are formed, that seems odd. If the Ink Machine can create cartoons without the use of souls/bodies (like Allison Pendle becoming Alice, Thomas Connor becoming Tom Boris, etc) what's the point of Susie's death?
Norman is another odd one. We don't know much about his past, but he knows so much about the studio. He knows about the Ink Machine and almost everything else. He dies at the end of DCTL, but we don't know exactly how. Joey also says that the ritual didn't work because "the ink had infected them for days." I'm not sure if he's referring to Dave and Norman, or other people Sammy lured. Either way, we don't know how he gets turned into the Projectionist. There's a lot of missing pieces here. Plus, with the books no longer being canon, we don't know for sure if this is how he died.
Bertrum becomes even more strange with context. We learn that he's famous, so why would anybody (Joey, Gent, or otherwise) risk killing him? There was a dispute over the ownership and the formation of Bendyland, but I'm still not sure that would warrant murder. His audio log suggests that Bertrum willingly turned himself into an octopus ride to haunt Joey, but even ignoring how that was possible, it begs the question of what happened to his body.
Also, the Ink Machine's purpose was to make living cartoons. Even if Bertrum's transformation was deliberate, what about the Projectionist? Was his transformation deliberate-- if so, who the hell came up with that? You could make the case that he was supposed to become the Cameraman from the comics, but that feels unlikely. The whole transformation thing is very unclear.
Grant's case is especially frustrating. He's important, even for a side character. We get several mentions of him in the books. He gets two tapes (one in BATIM, talking about something big Joey's planning, and another in BATDR, talking about Gent and Mr. Grey). Joey's tape in the Administration Department denying financial difficulty feels extremely directed at Grant as well, even if it doesn't name him specifically. But that's not all; Kay Lee says he hid some of Joey's more priceless assets, so even if he didn't know exactly what was going on, he was close enough to Joey to be useful.
But the most frustrating part of all of this is that we don't know what happened to him; we only know that something happened. His secretary mentions how he's constantly getting sick. Thomas calls him mangy, so he wasn't looking good at the end. His office is a mess and his last audio log is of something happening to him. The two popular theories are he was attacked, or he violently transformed. Grant even gets a coffin in the Music Department. He's as close as we get to a confirmed death.
But that's... it. That's all we get.
If he was attacked, we never learn what attacked him; if he transformed, we never see what he transformed into. Considering how bad the financial situation at JDS was, you'd think we would hear more of him, but we don't. He just... disappears.
And then there's Lacie. Out of all the Bendy cast, she was the last person I'd expect to get a named coffin. She has one tape in Chapter 4 talking about an animatronic, and that's it. Nothing really becomes of the animatronic, and (as far as I can tell) that's all we get of her. Once again, if she became an ink creature, we never see it. She's a one-off character, given importance for some reason we never hear about.
But it doesn't end there.
As we all know, there's the real world, and then there's the ink world. So are the coffins even real? Did these characters actually die? The books tell us they did, but now that the books are no longer canon, that doesn't mean much. Did they die outside of the ink world, and their coffins were added in retroactively? Circling back to Susie's case- could this mean she didn't die at all?
As much as I love the Bendy franchise, once I actually start thinking about its lore and story I get frustrated. It doesn't seem like the devs had a solid story at any point before they started writing. Characters and plot lines change, and there's not enough solid, consistent evidence to really support a lot of theories. If I had to guess, there was a significant lore rewrite between BATIM and BATDR, with the books trying to make sense of it. I would even wager that the lore got rewritten between BATIM Chapter 4 and 5- because, let's be honest, the whole "time loop pocket dimension" thing came totally out of left field.
I hope the next games (or books, or whatever installments we get next) actually take the time to address this.
#batdr#batim#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#i know i'm biased as a grant cohen fan and all but how he's handled especially annoys me#jds shut down because it went bankrupt#not the people going missing#not the working conditions#they were financially on their last legs for god knows how long and that's what did them in#and what happens to the head of finance? who knows!#we get a coffin with his name and an audio log of him screaming#and then themeatly basically goes “oh no! anyway”#also i don't really care about the lost ones not being canon but they can pry dctl from my cold dead hands

singing along to heathers musical in my car (a tradition for this long drive, i’m currently at a rest stop) and thinking about. volo
#he is NOT jd but there could be a venn diagram#volo is not nearly as fucked up and he doesn’t actually want to kill people#i think if volo saw a dead animal he’d cry#that’s my boy <3#also jd’s god complex and sense of identity has way more to do with his romantic partner#volo is obsessed with himself it’s awesome#inherently so much hotter tbh

John Dory has been the only one keeping a log as complete as he can of the whereabouts of all his brothers because he cares in his own weird way and he's not-so-secretly a worrywart Okay! Sadly he fails to rescue Branch on his own tho so him and Poppy meet in the middle of their quest to Get The Band Back Together
#dreamworks trolls#broppy#perfume branch#Also the brothers are a lot more worried because Poppy very assertively saying Branch Can't Die isn't very convincing#Until JD and Floyd come back saying Branch Probably isn't dead while the twins are still on the radio

for ship bingo heehee..... cygson...... asking on anon as if it isn't very possible to guess who I am
Jee, i wonder which mutual this is lol-

Listen, if their enemies to lovers, i'm gonna ship them (also, red and blue dynamic hello-)
This ship could either turn into “i can fix him” or “i can make him worse”, either way, if it's angsty, i'm gonna ship them either way-
This is giving just two guys hating each other's guts and started fighting, and then start making out 1 minute later-
They also seem like uncle/father figures to Jack (Crimson probably gives Jack like decent advice, while Cygnus is like “You're having guy problems? Idk try kill him or something, that's how i got Crimson”)
Side note: idk why but i thought of this clip when i saw this ship for the first time (probably an interaction between Night Swan & Cygnus):
https://youtube.com/shorts/LdoiBdNeCbM?si=cbC-hB3Paxk_rg1P
#you created a great ship#and i'm here for it lol#just dance#just dance 2023#just dance 2024#jd cygnus#jd captain crimson#captain crimson#cygson#Crimson probably saw Cygnus like idk#trying to raise the dead or some shit like that#while laughing like a maniac#and Crimson was like “Damn why he kinda hot when he does that”#also old men yaoi#yes#im also thinking of an au for this ship#i haven't written anything yet#but i have an idea lol#that is if i don't get lazy or something lol

The Diary Entry
Characters: Jason "J.D" Dean, Veronica Sawyer (referenced), JD's mother (referenced)
Summary: JD writes in his diary after Veronica broke up with him for killing people because it's a tinsy bit problamatic
(Purposely bad and overly emo in some places because JD is sad and drunk or maybe I'm just a bad writer, you don't know)
She's broken up with me.
I don’t understand why; she says it’s because of me trying to make the world a better place for us.
I had to kill those assholes; they’re trying to keep her away from me, trying to ruin us and they upset her.
Our love is God. Me and her together are god and they tried to hurt her, control her... upset her so they had to be stopped, no matter the method.
But she doesn’t see it that way so here I am lying on my bed, writing bad poetry and surrounded by bottles of alcohol like some kind of loser. My eyeliner runs down my face and my nail polish is cracked and black like the foundations of my broken and decayed heart soon to break down completely, first from my mother’s death, then my "father’s" betrayal and now my saviour’s absence. It was fine when it was just black and hard but now Veronica’s cracked it open and I can feel all that truthful shit inside.
It haunts me.
It all haunts me now because the slushies aren’t working: I can’t bring myself to numbness through that sweet, sweet pain. It isn’t working because I almost let myself feel, almost convinced myself I could be loved but it broke... just like it always does so that’s why my now eyeliner runs (god I haven't cried in fucking years. I need to fucking stop. I can't show weakness.... except I am.... Alot. But I need to stop) , and that’s why my nail polish cracks; that’s why the bastards that took her, my grace and saviour, the only one stopping me from killing all of them, away from me will die.
And fuck I guess I get weirdly poetic and shit when I’m drunk. I sound like a fucking emo or something. God, get me some more fucking eyeliner and call me My Chemical fucking Romance (A/N yes I know it is the wrong time but like aesthetic or smth also side note I fucking love My Chemical Romance). Well I guess it doesn’t change anything.
I’m talking to a fucking book but I guess if she thinks I’m a psycho I might as well live up to it: only psychopaths write in journals or diaries or whatever. I don’t care anymore. She’s gone.
But, we could of had it all. Our love was god. We were god. Together. But what is the point without her. They took her and the need to pay but we are not god with out her. Because without her there is no love and there is no we.
I fucking miss us.
Why did she leave?
She shouldn’t of fucking left.
I fucking miss her.
-JD

Swap au - Backstory
[info summary]
where do we go?
The first show still happened, and the big fight between the brothers as well. However JD never made the heisty choice to decide to run away preventing the others from making the choice.
Instead they were just mad at each other (mostly towards JD) for a few weeks or so-
Fast forward a bit, the great escape from Bergen town
Still happened, only now the brothers were here.
They manage to get away from the Bergen's but not with a heavy loss, princess Viva was still separated (presumed dead), king peppy did perish and a number of trolls were still taken
All that was left was fewer numbers and the youngerst
Princess poppy to survive. Despite the affirmation of freedom the pop trolls could not feel the victory
But a sense of loss.... And so a large portion of them
Lose their color and abandoned music and went into hiding
For the Bergen's were still in search of them
The brothers also went into hiding. Created an underground bunker drafted by their youngest, baby branch's Vision, their colors still stayed as w as their love of music.
#guess who made a fkn trolls au mueahahhahah#idk#im insane but thats why ur stuck with me#trolls#trolls 3#trolls band together#trolls au
