(Between AU) given the premise of the au you do have a lot more room to focus on Bergen politics so Chef doing her coup would probably work really well— she tries to bring back Trollstice, Branch and Gristle shut it down, she tries to overthrow them on the “it’s the only way to be happy” platform (which would probably garner popular support). That would make Creek’s betrayal him allying himself with what he thinks will be the winning faction… maybe Bridget would be able to help the trolls and Gristle + Branch?

TRUE!!!

My main issue with this is that one thing I want to avoid is downsizing or underselling Poppy's role in things. Her belief in the good of the world and others is a critical component to the story, and not something that can be put forth by any other character. Figuring out how and where she and Branch interact in the movie is the main stumbling point, because they do need to have more than one or two interactions over the course of things. So while I do want to get more into Bergen politics, I don't want doing so to push Poppy out.

#ask zaz #between au #smth smth canon poppy & branch's worldviews and how both oppose each other #both poppy & branch not being fully right but not fully wrong either & the real answer being a balance between optimism and caution #and how that translates into the between au #bc poppy's still very optimistic and determined‚ she's still poppy #maybe even moreso what with pop village not having branch as the village grump #and for all that the world isn't completely cupcakes and rainbows poppy's optimism is still crucial to the themes of the story #maybe... smth smth her and branch do NOT get along after their initial interaction???#she goes from ''fellow troll??? FRIEND???'' to ''oh this guy SUCKS'' maybe. and the annoyance is mutual #which is kinda what happens in canon LMAO
