Babys First Bunker

(A Broppy Egg fic) 💙🩷

The royal nursery in the newly finished Pop Village Castle was usually very peaceful.

Except right now…

It looked more like a fortress.

Poppy stood in the doorway.

Her eyes were wide from the scene before her.

Blankets were draped over furniture.

Pillows were stacked into barricades.

And somehow Branch had built a tunnel system out of comforters.

In the middle she found him holding their still-unhatched egg.

“Branch. Honey. Love of my life. What is this?”

Branch blinked.

“Nesting?”

He said it like it was the most obvious thing.

Poppy sighed.

“You sure it's just that?”

Branch clutched the egg protectively.

His expression shifted into a serious mode.

“The egg is overdue, Poppy. It needs to be safe. We don’t know what’s taking so long and if something happens, I need to be ready.”

Poppy softened.

She got it.

She really did.

Branch had always been over prepared…

But the idea of something being wrong with their baby had him in full survival mode.

She stepped forward and crouched beside him.

“Branch, it’s okay. The egg is fine. Dr. Moonbloom said some eggs just take longer. Nothing’s wrong.”

Branch blinked as he held the egg closer.

He looked around at the fort as if he was seeing it for the first time.

“I can see that maybe it's a bit much… but I�� I wasn't sure what else to do.”

“Okay, Branch, if this pillow fort is what you need right now? Then that's okay.”

He smiled gratefully.

“But I also don't think you should be alone right now. Which is why-”

“FORT TIME!”

John Dory's head suddenly appeared as he crawled in through a tunnel.

“Dude. You built this in three hours? That’s sick!”

Clay appeared too.

He pressed a hand to the blanket wall.

“Actually? Structurally, this is really solid. Great use of layering.”

Branch narrowed his eyes in confusion.

“What're you guys doing here?”

Bruce appeared behind Clay and mumbled something about his knees.

“Poppy told us what was going on. And well we definitely had to come see the baby’s first bunker.”

Branch scowled...

“It’s not a bunker. It’s a temperature-regulated, soundproof, predator-resistant nesting structure for optimal egg protection.”

Bruce raised an eyebrow.

“Soooo… a bunker?”

Floyd finally made his way inside.

“Hey, bro… how are you actually feeling?”

Branch hesitated.

Her rested one hand protectively on the egg.

“Perfectly fine.”

The brothers exchanged glances.

John Dory smirked.

“Almost had me fooled, baby bro. You know you’re really good at pretending everything’s fine on your own.”

“I’m not pretending. I’m fine.”

John Dory raised an eyebrow.

“Really? Because we haven't seen you in days?”

Branch looked away, almost ashamed.

“...Everyone’s got enough going on.”

There was a beat of silence.

John Dory chuckled and shuffled over next to Branch and Poppy.

“You know we’re brothers, right? We’re supposed to annoy each other about our own crap we've got going on. You’ve been there for me a thousand times and you have to know I've got your back. Always.”

Bruce nodded.

“He’s right, you know. I think you forget how many times we’ve all needed you.”

Clay smiled.

“Hey. You’re not alone. We know you’d be there for us if the roles were reversed. Let us be there for you now.”

Floyd placed a hand on his heart.

“What we’re saying is... We’re family, Branch. You can lean on us when you need to.”

Branch looked at his brothers.

The fear hadn’t gone away.

But maybe…He didn’t have to carry it alone.

Maybe it was okay to let his brothers help him with this.

“I don’t know… guys… I’m just worried. I was grey for so long… And now I’m worried that maybe something’s wrong with the baby because of that. Maybe... maybe they're stuck inside, too.”

Poppy rested her hand on his.

“Branch, you’re not grey anymore. You’ve found your happiness, and you’ve grown into this amazing, caring Troll. You’re more than ready for this.”

Branch took a deep breath.

He held the egg a little more confidently.

He wasn’t doing this alone.

He had his brothers and Poppy.

And together…

They could face whatever came next.

John Dory chuckled.

“Branch… you know, Grandma used to build forts like this for us, right?”

Branch glanced at him.

“…Yeah?”

John Dory smiled faintly.

“She made them during Trollstice, when things were scary. We’d all pile in and she’d tuck us under the blankets and sing to us. Told us we were safe.”

Clay leaned back against a pillow.

“I barely remember that…”

Bruce nodded.

“I do. She always made me feel like… no matter what was outside, we’d be okay.”

Floyd thought for a moment…

Before he started to hum.

All of the brothers immediately recognized the tune.

John Dory was the first to remember the words.

“Gently now, breathe in slow… Hear my voice, soft and low…"

Clay and Bruce joined in.

“Close your eyes, feel me near… Our hearts singing, loud and clear…”

Poppy’s voice came next.

Not words…

Just soft “oohs” to accompany the brothers voices.

Branch hadn’t heard this song in so long.

And for the first time in days…

The tension in his chest loosened.

And then…

The egg in Branch’s arms gave a sudden…

Strong…

Definite…

Wiggle!

Everyone saw it.

Floyd gasped.

“Did…did the egg just…?”

Everyone stared…

Noone dared to move.

The egg wiggled again and a small crack appeared on the shell.

Poppy whispered as she tried her best not to scream.

“Oh my gosh, keep singing!”

It took a moment to stumble back where they left off but they continued to sing softly.

Branch joined in the song too.

“Rhythm steady, warm and kind… You are safe here, peace you’ll find…”

More cracks appeared.

They all excitedly continued with the song.

“Moon up high, stars, they shine… Glowing with this love of mine…”

The egg rocked…

Another crack….

Then another.

And then…

The shell split open…

And the fort was filled…

With the piercing wail of a baby's first cry!

The tiny baby fell backwards out of the shell into Branch's arms.

Branch let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding.

Poppy immediately brushed her fingers gently across the baby’s cheek.

“Hi, sweetie. It’s okay. You’re safe. We’re right here.”

Branch leaned in, his voice barely a whisper.

“It’s okay, little one. I’ve got you.”

As they spoke, the baby’s cries slowly softened.

She blinked up at them again, as if trying to recognize their voices.

Poppy rested her head against Branch's shoulder.

“You did it, Branch. She’s okay.”

Branch stared at the little pink baby in his arms as she reached one tiny hand toward his face.

Branch whispered in almost disbelief.

“She’s safe… Grandma saved the day again.”

John Dory wiped at his eyes.

“Oh wow.”

Clay elbowed him gently.

“Are you crying?”

JD shot back quickly.

“You’re crying.”

Bruce chuckled.

“We’re all crying. Shut up.”

John Dory wiped his nose on the inside of his jacket.

“What are you gonna name her?”

Branch looked up at his brothers.

Each one of them was beaming.

Then he looked at Poppy.

Her eyes were shining with happiness.

He turned back to the baby…

Her pink cheek squished against his chest…

And whispered…

“Harmony. She is definitely Harmony.”

Poppy smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

“It’s perfect.”

A collective awww went through the room.

John Dory was in awe.

“She looks so much like Poppy.”

Clay smirked and elbowed Bruce

“Except she’s got Branch’s grumpy eyebrows.”

Floyd leaned in to see her face.

“Hey Harmony. We’ve been waiting a long time to meet you, princess.”

Harmony yawned and gave the tiniest stretch imaginable.

Clay clutched his chest.

“Oh no. She’s too cute. We’re all doomed.”

John Dory laughed through his tears.

“We’re gonna spoil her so bad.”

Harmony, curled up on Branch’s chest…

Gave a tiny sigh and drifted off to sleep.

Branch layed down nearly flat.

Poppy snuggled in beside him.

“Looks like we’re officially not leaving this nest for a while.”

Branch laughed tiredly.

“No way I’m moving. This is our life now.”

Clay stretched and whispered.

“Alright. Baby’s here, lullaby’s sung. I’m gonna go get-”

As soon as he stepped towards the exit…

Harmony let out a sudden, high-pitched wail.

Clay froze.

“Oh no.”

Floyd whisper yelled.

“You broke the perimeter!”

Bruce raised his hands.

“We’re in containment protocol now, people!”

John Dory groaned but then chuckled.

“Okay, okay! Nobody leaves the nest! Princess’s orders.”

Harmony squirmed in Branch’s arms until he quickly started humming the lullaby again.

Poppy joined in quietly.

Harmony settled and snuggled back into her dad’s chest.

All the brothers collapsed back onto the floor with exaggerated groans.

Poppy smiled.

“Looks like this is home base now.”

Branch gave her a sleepy grin.

“As long as she’s happy, I’m not going anywhere.”

Harmony snored.

And not one of them dared move again.

[chiki-teddy]

Have I ever posted about my younger Broppy kiddo Jam?

Second kiddo on the first pic, Conifer, belongs to @syrup-scribbles

[demoncloud]

I’ve been kinda busy lately on making my OC art that I post on TikTok. But the trolls hyperfixation has had a chokehold on me since I saw it in March. Doesn’t help that seeing a lot of the talented artists in said fandom has been feeding into it. I especially love @spooky-pop for her art especially! As soon as she posted art for second child OC Oakley I wanted to make this video on her Broppy children cause I totally see branch and poppy being similar parents to Bandit and Chilli. And I wanted to make something where the kids get along for the sake of tricking their dad to play with them.

These OCs are not mine, they’re spooky-pop’s check her page out for her art it’s AMAZING!

Just a sketch of baby Tigerlily and Poppy 😊

Until I get comfortable drawing Poppy’s canon hairstyle, I'll just opt to draw it in other styles😆

New Trolls Short Story!!

Hey guys!!! I'm sooo happy to announce that a brand new Trolls short story will be coming up this month on Wattpad since it's Broppy month!! - - - SUMMARY

For a long time, since they became uncles, Branch's brothers have always wanted to look after Poppy and Branch's one-year-old daughter, Princess Melody. Bruce especially dreams of babysitting her, hoping to spend more time with her.

When Poppy and Branch have to go on errands and leave John Dory, Bruce, Clay, and Floyd to babysit little Melody, they are thrilled, including Bruce, who looks forward to doing this. But Branch has second thoughts about them babysitting his daughter, not wanting anything terrible to happen to her.

As a first-time uncle, Bruce wants to prove to his youngest brother that he, John Dory, Clay, and Floyd can be good uncles and look after their baby niece. - - - What do you guys think?

Stay tuned for the release date! and to meet the newest edition of the BroZone family Princess Melody!!

Leaf is banned from combining glitter, paint, and glue. (Branch was so proud of him after the attack.)

Broppy childrens's eggs redraw!! Can you guess the gender of the three?

Preview on patreon!

[x-elyssa-x]

Here I come with my version of Poppy's and Branch's child. Meet Juniper, their adoptive son :D

One thing you need to know, I headcanon Poppy as infertile. She and Branch can't have biological kids, so they went with adoption. They adopted an egg and when it hatched, Juniper came into their lives.

Juniper is a shy and socially awkward boy, but he's very intelligent for his young age. He builds all kinds of mechanisms and even created some new traps for Branch to protect the village. When he grows up, he'll become an inventor. He also has a nickname, Berry.

Please, let me know what you think about Juniper :)

My take on the "infection" au, basically back to the original zombie apocalypse vibe uwu I'm not a fan of the creepy infection stuff its a little much but I saw an artist making angsty trolls next gen stuff and I wanted to do somethings similar ^^

The first character is a broppy child.

Basically the idea is the bergens get sick and star eating trolls again and act liked zombies, they are completely mindless. Broppy have an egg and it hatches and Bridget doesn't come to the shower so they go to see her and realise she sick, Poppy is the first victim ^^

After losing Poppy Branch as the king (through marriage) gets all the trolls into the bunker and they live there for years. The broppy child is called Begonia, begonias are a flower that mean warming and danger is coming heh but they also mean good communication which is something very important to broppy since poppy sucks at communication in the second movie ans then its branch in the third movie. They both learn and over come it so I believe the name suit their kid for this au well.

After years of living in the bunker begonia gets tired of it and when she turns 14 she snaps at branch who never talks about poppy or the outside ans she sneaks out. Alarms go off and branch goes to find her, he get to her just as she's about to get eaten. History repeats ans Branch saves her at the coast of his own life. Just like his grandma rip ^^

Begonia escapes back to the bunker and has to step up as queen now, unprepared Creek helps her. Creek is good and has actually been helpful, he put his differences aside with Branch and helped him a lot now he helps Begonia.

Somewhere else in mount rageon floyd is living in the sewers with the few trolls who also lived there. Only trolls don't get infected because of their magic ( they seem to have some special magical abilities when they sing no other creatures posses) some of the mount rageons get infected and those that don't flee to the sewers with the trolls because they are in the big city there underground would be the sewers. Some mount rageons notice the trolls are completely unaffected and ask if they can run COMPLETELY human experiments and with the consent they work together to try and come up with a cure.

Floyd also became popular after the scandal with v and v and thats why he returned to mount rageon to finally succeed in his solo career but it was short lived.

Floyd is now a sewer troll and Creek and Begonia are Bunker trolls ^_^

Begonia if she wasn't grey and all the important details uwu

Also creeks hair drooped because he's saaaaad this is something I've noticed in the first movie ? Or it might have been tbgo series, I remember it was am old detail i loved

New Party Guest

I imagine they announced the new Royal Egg with what LOOKED like your average party invitation.

One in every Pop Village mail box one morning.

Every Troll in the village goes through their stack of usual party invitations then suddenly...

There's a collective, village-wide cheer!

And the celebration begins!

Genuine Question About Broppy getting Children In The Future... (long rant incoming)

Am I the only one who really wouldn't like an accidental/"surprise"/ unexpected/unwanted/unplanned/unintended Broppy child in future canon and who isn't really all that overjoyed about the idea of them having one in the future in general? I want to know.

I kind of feel like the only one because I haven't seen anyone else be so genuinely confused as to why the first situation is such a widespread and beloved thing in the fandom. If you do, please feel free to let me know what you find so appealing about it, because I'm not so sure I understand in all honesty and I want to get it.

I want to say that I really don't mean to come across as rude or hateful towards anyone who created Broppy children that would fit into the current canon who were unplanned! I just want to give my own perspective on it and why I personally feel iffy about that scenario.

A lot of my opinion here is also related to my personal attachment towards the ship itself. It's the first one I've had and for more than 7 years at the time of writing this, they've consistently been part of my life during this time. It's the ship I've been invested in the most.

The reason why I'm worried about this is because in Shrek, an other DreamWorks franchise, him and his wife had unexpected children. If they decide to make an other story like this:

Branch and Poppy is one of their few romantic relationships from ongoing franchises and a very popular one at the moment, so it could be with them.

There's a multitude of reasons why I rather have them want and desire a child before it happens and also to have it be almost a last part of the franchise addition. Like, one of the last things we get out of their relationship.

If it happens accidentally, depending on the context, it could likely be because they weren't careful. I feel like this is especially out of Branch's character. We know one of his major traits is making things the safest possible, he's hectic whenever something could be trouble. I think he probably would put action to avoid getting an unwanted egg as much as he could. We know Poppy can be kind of reckless, but she listens to Branch now and I don't think she is enough to not do any prevention and roll with it. She loves to throw herself head first into danger, but when she truly thinks she'll be okay. If she knows her own safety or well-being are really at risk, she takes it more seriously.

Obviously, putting characters through tough situations is the whole point of a storyline, but when it comes to them getting a child, it is something that (I'm assuming because we don't really know much about that yet) they CAN or at least should be able to control so...I think they should.

I don't want them having a toddler to get in the way of their relationship. I want lots more of just them two. A toddler, unless they don't show up for much, would take up a lot of moments that would otherwise be only with them. I want to get a lot more moments of solely them and focusing on their relationship with each other before a baby comes in!

Their characters, if, let's say, an infant or egg is with them during most events of a movie, I believe would be reduced to having to meet their needs. They're now tied down to needing to care for them and they lose that freedom they currently have. They'll have to be like "Ah, no, can't do that, got a baby." I don't want that.

I find it still way too early in canon for them to have children and that they should really be able to enjoy their time together and with their loved ones for now. Considering all Branch has gone through and the years he spent alone, being at such a low point, I don't want him to have the added responsibility, stress and worries of a parent so soon. I want him to be able to just have good times and hang out with his friends, girlfriend and family.

Both him and Poppy are so busy already, not to mention Branch is a person who really needs alone time. Give him a baby and that's going to be a whole lot harder.

It doesn't even seem to me like it's something they want in the future for now. Branch wants to marry Poppy, we already know that, but neither of them have ever mentioned wanting to have kids someday. Poppy already works with little trolls and loves it, but she has never said she wants one herself someday. Branch doesn't seem like it's crossing his mind. All he wants is to be Poppy's significant other.

I don't want a "surprise" Broppy kid and not know what went wrong or why it was so. If it's like Shrek, they'll leave that part ambiguous and I am not going to be happy about that. If they're going down that road, I at least want to know if they were intending on being careful at all. (Obviously brought up in a way that's appropriate for PG content).

Kids being raised by parents who didn't want them to arrive isn't ideal to me. Yes, parents can have regrets on deciding to have children in a way down the line and it doesn't mean they'll do a bad job, I agree the ship would make awesome parents, but it can be a lot more difficult thanks to that.

Look. I love the idea of them having little ones someday, I really do! I just wish it to happen way later on in the timeline than now, and most of all, I seriously want them to intend and want to have a baby before they do (we'll likely know if it's accidental, since, like I said, they did that in Shrek).

Scenarios I'd appreciate in canon:

1- They get married or just engaged in whichever next installment we'll get or stay only a couple and have a child or children that they planned on having years later.

2- They adopt a child/children which they either stumble upon or meet at an orphanage. They still look like their own, their colors being a sort of mix between Branch and Poppy's possible colors and being pop trolls (honestly, my favorite idea for a Broppy child).

3- It arrives at least a couple years after their romantic relationship has started (either still a committed couple, engaged or married), it wasn't intended or expected at all, from an unknowingly failed appropriate prevention method. They would be suggested the opportunity to abort, but they choose to keep their egg/eggs that resulted and raise them.

Scenarios I don't want:

1- It's a Shrek The Third 2.0 where it's left very ambiguous what happened with any time jump or none.

2- Unwanted egg from not trying to prevent it, no time jump at all. They have to raise their child/children as the early official couple they are now.

3- A baby/babies they didn't want and weren't careful for with a truly effective method, years or not after they're made official.

4- The child wasn't really wanted from both sides. Either one of them wasn't actually happy about the idea.

If we mostly get content of them out of the newborn stage (between about 5-18 years old), we get to know them once they already have built a personality. The child also has some amount of autonomy so the parents won't have to impose as much and we can still get only them both interacting pretty often. Kind of like in How To Train Your Dragon where Nuffink and Zephyr were already kids when we met them.

I think that's the idea I'd enjoy the most. Branch and Poppy wouldn't be tied down as much(also yes I'd want to see them getting older. Something so bittersweet in seeing a long time ship of mine age together...chef's kiss with that.) I'd get attached to the child a lot more easily as a character and I'd just love to see how the couple handles their youth.

Like I said: I do see lots of positives. I love the idea of them getting a child to build sweet, deep bonds with. The idea of caring, super invested dad Branch makes me melt. Him getting through that has something that can beautiful and powerful considering his story. It adds another person for him to love. A lot of wholesomeness and emotions to be explored! It can bring more to his relationship with Poppy as well! A supportive dynamic that's always ready to advise each other and to work through when it gets harder...yeah. It's simply great! It's a good foundation for a child to grow up on.

I just have some preferences for how it happens. Thank you for reading my long opinion piece!
