#also i do not have glee ocs this is actually referring to the fact i haven’t watched glee in ages so they are basically my ocs at this point

[sscrambledmeggss]

it’s just me and my glocs (glee original characters) against the world

[alwaysahiccupandastrid]

Ashamed to admit that when I was writing my Klaine fanfics back in the day, I included:

“Oh my Gaga”

Blaine is just Darren

A brief mention that Brittany calls Klaine her dolphins

Burt has a shotgun (he didn’t actually but everyone believed he did, including his grandchildren, and he never corrected it)

Mercedes calling someone (Kurt) “white boy”

Blaine’s dad is abusive (I did however write him a redemption arc that he definitely did not deserve and made zero sense)

Unironic ableism (I wrote a finchel child OC who was autistic but i wrote him horrifically badly as I didn’t do my research)

The last one is actually incredibly ironic as I am in fact autistic myself but I didn’t have a diagnosis at the time and back then my idea of autism was literally the “white boy or man who is either learning disabled or has savant syndrome” stereotype. I also used the phrase “Aspergers” when writing this plot line and since being diagnosed and also doing research before my diagnosis, I now strongly hate the term “Aspergers” and regret it deeply.

(Dis)Honourable mentions go to:

“Glasz” eyes

Klaine being the victims of homophobes multiple times, both as individuals and as a couple

The Hummel-Anderson children being carbon copies of either Kurt or Blaine depending on who was the biological father

Klaine being horn dogs 24/7 even once the kids were born

All of the songs Blaine wrote were Darren Criss songs

Blaine being a massive Starkid fan to the point where one of the kids was named after a niche Starkid song (Liam’s Got a Phone call)

Kurt crying at every little thing or minor setback or hater

The phrases “supermegafoxyawesomehot”, “I’m in a RAGE!!!”, and “totally awesome” being used

Kurt being a health nut and not wanting the kids to eat any junk food

Blaine being referred to as a hobbit

References to Kurt being a Bottom 80% of the time

In my defence, however, I was 13 when I started writing Glee fics and I was about 16 when I stopped so I’m blaming my terrible writing on my age and inexperience 💀

there were too many awful suggestions to include them all but it's done!!! terrible job everyone <3

Songs I Hope Will Be Sung in the"Trolls" franchise.

Here are some songs I would love for the characters of “Trolls” characters to sing in the 2020 sequel, the upcoming "Trolls: The Beat Goes On" TV series or possibly the holiday special coming out this year. I could consider these suggestions for other “Trolls” related projects as well. Here’s my list of songs, the characters I think would sound best singing it and possible situations the characters might be while singing it.

A/N: These are purely fan-made ideas and has nothing to do with what is actually going to happen in the franchise. I own nothing related to the “Trolls” franchise, nor do I own any of the songs I have suggested for future related work. Some of these songs have been previously used in other “Trolls” related fan works, so I’m sure I’m not the first person to think consider these songs for the “Trolls” franchise, but otherwise my ideas here are all original I take no credit for any other fan works in which these songs have been in previously. I confess I may have been loosely inspired by other movie soundtracks for my ideas, including “Strange Magic”, “Ella Enchanted”, "An Extremely Goofy Movie”, "The Book of Life" and the Australian film “The Sapphires”. I take no credit for whatsoever for the these soundtracks. I’ve provided video links as shortcuts so you guys can get a feel for the music and lyrics which could be used in the film, but I don’t own any of the videos themselves. Anyway, on to my ideas!

“Trolls 2” song ideas

“I Want to Know What Love Is” originally by Foreigner

Character/s singing: Branch and Poppy

Situation: Branch wants to move ahead in his relationship with Poppy and propose marriage to her, but feels apprehensive about the fact that if he does marry her it will mean that he will become king of the trolls (or prince regent possibly), which is something he doesn’t feel he’s prepared or right for. He also feels fearful of losing Poppy, just like he lost his grandma and doesn’t feel he can face that heartache again.

Poppy is also struggling with her own insecurities, though she’s trying her best to hide them through her usual positive attitude. She wants desperately to be Branch’s wife and for him to be her husband and king (or prince) consort, but she is secretly worried that Branch will break her heart like Creek did.

By the end of the song though, both feel confident that they are ready to take a step of faith in their relationship; truly ready to “…know what love is.”

“I Can’t Help Falling Love With You” originally by Elvis Presley

Character/s singing: Branch and Poppy

Situation: I thought this would be a beautiful song for Branch and Poppy to sing as a romantic duet by the campfire (maybe with use of Poppy’s ukulele). I know a lot of fans agree that this song suits the couple. I imagine it would be a good song for them to sing before Branch proposes to Poppy, or at least the first time he attempts to do so.

Andrea Bocelli and Katharine McPhee duet version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLS0kRAsSoo

“Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore” by REO Speedwagon

Character/s singing: King Gristle Jr. and Branch

Situation: I thought it would be cool if Branch gave King Gristle Jr. singing lessons (maybe Gristle could play the piano and/or guitar as well). For most of the lessons, Gristle performs incredibly poorly and starts to mope about how he's never going to be able sing. To encourage Gristle’s confidence, Branch suggests that the young king think of the main thing that inspires him and makes him the most happy. For him that's an easy answer: Bridget. Branch himself admits that Poppy inspires him in the same way Bridget does for Gristle, and is his source of happiness. Both men agree it’s their love for their girlfriends that inspires them and gives them confidence.

In his moment of confidence, Gristle finally feels inspired, and begins to sing about how he feels about Bridget. Branch joins in with Gristle, thinking about his feelings for Poppy. I could probably see some funny moments with Gristle doing some rock star moves, e.g. rocking out on a mop like a guitar, hanging his tongue out, etc. I could probably see him and Branch sliding across the floor (maybe Branch could do his tricks on Gristle’s shoulder) and (as the lyrics say) literally crashing through doors as they do it. I could see the song being both comedic and touching at the same time. Maybe Justin Timberlake could take his experiences from coaching Christopher Mintz-Plasse in singing, and play this a bit into his role of Branch coaching Gristle in singing.

“Open Your Heart” by Madonna

Characters singing: Poppy as a child, teenager and (of course) an adult.

Situation: I thought this would be good song to have in a flashback to Poppy and Branch’s childhood, teenage years and the year before they left for Bergen Town. During the flashbacks we see the day that Poppy and Branch first (officially) met (Branch probably knew Poppy as toddler, but she probably didn’t officially meet him until she got older) and their later years when Poppy tried to win over Branch’s friendship and teach him how to be happy, much to her lack of success. We could also see things from Branch’s point of view, as we see signs of his growing crush on Poppy and his struggles to hide these feelings for her. I could probably see the music sequence being somewhat similar in structure to Disney Frozen’s “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” as each verse changes to a different stage of Poppy and Branch’s life and how their attitudes changed over time, e.g. with Poppy more determined to succeed but also more frustrated with Branch’s resistance, while Branch continues to act harsh and cold but secretly shows signs of love and attraction towards Poppy in private.

“Smile (Charlie Chaplin Song)

Character/s singing: Poppy and/or Bridget, and (maybe) Branch.

Situation: I thought Poppy or maybe Bridget (if Poppy isn’t around, e.g. if she was kidnapped, and Bridget, Branch and their friends are trying to find her) could sing this song to comfort Branch in a stressful and sad situation. He could sing along himself if he felt up to it.

“Firework” by Katy Perry and “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey (I thought they would make a good mash-up)

Character/s singing: Poppy, Branch, Bridget, King Gristle Jr. and the Snack Pack.

Situation: Two great songs that would make a good mash-up.

“Firework” video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BtI43kqkOI

“Don’t Stop Believin’” video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBEXSiFzOfU

“Strange Magic” by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

Character singing: Biggie or Guy Diamond

Situation: I thought this might be a good song for either Biggie or Guy Diamond to sing. I personally would love for more members of the Snack Pack to have their own solos, but I thought this song might be good for either of these two. I imagine either of these two singing this in adoration towards a love-interest as they watch them from a distance. I have an OC in my mind who I thought could be a love-interest for either of them (I might share more information in another post), though I’m open for them being paired with another member of the Snack Pack (there are hints from a Troll-Love Box merchandise that Guy Diamond could be paired with DJ Suki, while Biggie could be paired with Smidge, but that’s not proved to be canon as of yet. I’m personally open-minded to the Guy Diamond/Satin ship).

I personally see either of them being paired with another character and singing this song (plus my next suggestion) in the upcoming TV series.

“You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”  by Leo Sayer

Character singing: Biggie or Guy Diamond and (maybe) a new original character or a member of the Snack Pack.

Situation:  I imagine this as a beautiful duet between either Biggie or Guy Diamond, and a love interest of theirs. Ultimately it’s a declaration of love song as the couple dance together in the forest. I may write more information in another post.

“I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) originally by Four Tops

Character singing: Bridget and King Gristle Jr., or Creek (if he’s still alive).

Situation: I thought this song would make a good romantic duet for Bridget and King Gristle Jr. (maybe some of the female trolls and/or Bergans could do back-up vocals). Though I also considered it a good song for Creek (if he’s possibly still alive) to sing to Poppy, as his rather pathetic and unsuccessful way of winning his way back into her affections.

“The Sapphires” version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-9clgjzrQc

“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

Character singing: Poppy

Situation: I thought this would be a good and fairly comical song for Poppy to sing if Creek ever returned and tried to weasel his way back into her affections without taking any real responsibility for his past actions. To me this song sounds so Poppy! It’s fun and has a lot attitude to it, plus it could give some hints to her relationship with Branch too. I reckon Anna Kendrick would do an awesome job on this song.

“Creep” (Clean Version) by Radiohead

Character singing: Teenage Branch (sung in his mind)

Situation: I thought song would work well in a flashback of Branch in his teenage years. I think this song emphasises well of his feelings for Poppy while it also shows his insecurities about himself and his negative grey attitude. I could probably see Branch singing this song (inside his head of course, as he doesn’t allow himself to sing at this stage of his life) after watching one of Poppy’s parties from a distance and seeing her with Creek, which causes some jealousy. I reckon him admiring Poppy from a distance and hearing some of the negative comments Poppy’s friends (especially Creek) are saying about him, like “He’s a creep." and "He’s a weirdo.” (along the lines of the song), and how he isn’t a good influence for Poppy and she doesn’t need to worry about him. Deeply hurt and insecure, Branch continues on gathering sticks while his thoughts sadly sing about how he feels he’ll never be good enough for Poppy; unable to deny his feelings for her nonetheless. The songs lines like “…you’re skin makes me cry.” matches perfectly well to Branch’s insecurities about his grey appearance I think.

"The Book of Life” version (the level of clean language I think they would need to take in the “Trolls 2” movie if they ever used this song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzvkrIF95nE&t=5s

“How Will I Know" by Whitney Huston

Character singing: Poppy and (maybe) Bridget, perhaps DJ Suki, Satin, Chenille and perhaps some Bergen girls could do back-up vocals.

Situation: I thought this would be a good for Poppy as she explores her feelings for Branch and tries to figure out if he really is her true love, as she felt certain with Creek previously and turned out to be wrong. Maybe Bridget could sing this song as well as she also has some moments of insecurity in her relationship with King Gristle Jr. I could probably see these two singing this song as a duet, as both try to advise and reassure each other that they have both found the man of their dreams.

A/N: I’ll give credit to FoxesnBoxes Broppy fan video for inspiring me to add this song to this list.

“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee 

Character singing: Poppy, Branch and possibly other characters

Situation: I thought this would be a good song for the main characters to sing during the end credits.

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0qW9P-uYfM

Ella Enchanted movie version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6941Mpf4fq0

"Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley

Character singing: Poppy or the card version of Branch

Situation: A good song for a flashback, to emphasis Branch’s loneliness back in his grey days. Maybe Branch could slam the card shut when it gets to the line ”…I’m feeling so lonely I could die.“ just when it gets to the word "die”.

“Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper

Character singing: Branch, maybe Poppy and their future child

Situation: I thought this would be a good song for Branch and Poppy to sing to their future child (I personally think they might have a daughter) as a way of letting her/him know that they will always be there for her/him. I could more imagine Branch and Poppy having a child in a third film if they plan on making one, but you never know what they could do in the sequel.

“The Girl is Mine” by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney

Character singing: Branch and Creek

Situation: I thought it might be interesting if Creek is still alive and makes a return in the sequel that he and Branch sing a competitive duet as they possibly fight over Poppy. I’m not so sure about my choice of song, but this is the only male duet that sounded best in this situation, plus the fact that one singer is American and the other is British is another bonus. Though the lyrics could be shortened, changed or swapped over to suit the characters better if necessary. I’m open to other suggestions for competitive male duets if anyone can point one out to me.

"Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC

Character singing: Branch, maybe Poppy

Situation: I thought Branch could sing the “…you may hate [it] but that ain’t no lie…bye bye bye.” to mock Creek as he and Poppy throw him out of Poppy’s pod, regarding Poppy rejecting Creek. Plus, maybe Poppy could throw in a “Bye bye!” in speech form as she locks Creek out of her pod. I thought the line could humorous, plus add a bit of nostalgia from Justin Timberlake’s old boy band days.  

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo-KmOd3i7s

There are other songs I would love to hear being sung in the “Trolls” franchise, including a few solos for the Snack Pack, but I’m not sure what situation to put them in. I thought maybe they might do well in a short film, e.g. something like “Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party” or “Far Far Away Idol”. Even in small clips I reckon these songs could be used.
