#brozone angst

[kkpaaw]

Ya know what I would like to see be made? A series that covered the years post bergen escape, but pre 1st movie.

Show us baby Branch struggling to fit in

Show us baby Branch beginning to make his bunker

Show us his freak outs

His lonely nights

How the village's treated him

Show us flashbacks of his brothers and how much he prayed for them to come back

Show us him slowly realizing they never would

Show us his relationship with other trolls during that time

Give us Kismet interactions

Give us Poppy being the cutie pie she is

Show us Peppy grieving his lost daughter

Give us snack pack formation

Coopers eggs being found and how he fit in (I need more than a single scene here man)

I would honestly love to also see what the brothers got up to. Their lives their interactiosn with the outside world

GIVE US ALL OF THAT AND MORE

I'd kinda like it if we actually saw Branch trying to give up on his relationship with his Brothers in the future so we could actually see them making the effort for a change to try and keep him a part of their family.

like I said in my other post I Hope we see in the future Branch just struggling to feel fully comfortable around his family again given how many years he spent as a loner.

and eventually he does end up emotionally trying to self destruct and push them away asking them to leave and saying that it was a mistake for them to try and be a family again.

given he just feels too uncomfortable trying to play happy families with them since its so unfamiliar after all the years he spent without a family.

I think it'd be a good way to actually show the older Bros making the effort to fight for their relationship with him them not giving up on him even tho he's seemingly given up on them and himself.

as the Relationship felt very one sided in TBT Branch just forgave them time and time again despite them letting him down multiple times and in the end he had to save their lives and convince them to do the Harmony.

so I really think we need to see the shoe being on the other foot and Bro zone actually making the effort to stand by Branch and convince him that their family can work and that they do want him in their lives.

even tho Branch is convinced he just isn't meant to be part of a family given the way he felt when they were all just spending time together acting like a normal family would.

and he just didn't feel like he belonged.

Whumptober Day 15:

Childhood Trauma

Painful Hug | Moment of Clarity | “I did good, right?”

Fandom: Trolls

Day 31: Making amends

Alt. Regret, Time Loop

.

.

“I did good, right?”

A simple question, innocent and pleading, large eyes and trembling hands.

"I did good, right?”

Wet and tired, desperate in a way a child should never be.

"I did good, right?”

Warped grin and cocky lilt, a sharp look and cruel taunt.

Such a normal phrase, said so many times over his life, by himself, by others.

But not his brothers.

He had tried so hard, done everything he could to ensure his brothers never had a need to ask such a question.

Was he a good guardian further down the line? No. He knows he messed up, now more than ever. But he had still hoped to never hear that question from their lips.

“I… Did g-good ri-ight?”

His baby brother, so different from his memories, of that little trolling after their first practice together, looking up at him with wide blue pools, how JD had praised him before any question could leave his lips, had thrown him in the air and delighted in his giggles. The tiny baby brother that he swore to protect after everything, the one he left, with some asinine thought it was for his own good, was standing before him on wobbling legs.

Branch had saved them.

But at what cost?

They all rush forward as those legs falter, as trembling arms wrap around them, as teary eyes clash with a small smile and grunt of pain.

“S-sorry, I imagined o-our reunion hugs d-differently.”

“Ju-just lay still, where… whats..” Floyds hands flutter, each pain filled breath making them jump away.

“I… I missed you guys.” He coughs wetly, “I knew I wasn’t good enough to come back for. But I couldn’t stay away when you guys were in trouble.” There's a rasp to his words now, like something is pressing on his lungs and scratching at his throat.

But the words themselves hurt far worse than any torture.

“You are good enough. You are better than all of us combined.” Bruce vehemently objects, tears already streaking down his face.

“We… We’re the ones to blame B, not you, never you.” Clay is ashen where he supports Branch’s head, brushing hair from his baby brother's face gently.

He stares up at them with lidded eyes, that blue no longer bright and innocent, that teal no longer gracing his fur and brightening his cheeks. What had he been through? What had they done?

What had JD done?

Forced them all apart, separated the family, abandoned them all.

This was all John's fault. His Baby Brother could be dying, and it's all his fault.

“I’m so sorry B.” John whispers brokenly, “None of this should have happened. I’d take it all back if I could.”

“I don’t think I blame you guys anymore.” He whispers back, surprising them all, “I was angry… but, I don’t want to go angry.” He offers another sad smile, “I’m just glad I got to see you all again.”

“You’re not going anywhere! We’re gonna get help, you’re gonna be fine!” Floyd’s head whips around, trying to find anyone, but a hand grabs his own.

“~Here comes the sun…~” His voice is hoarse, like it hasn’t sung in some time, “~Here comes the sun, and I say…~”

“~It’s alright…~” John's own isn’t much different, he hadn’t felt the urge to sing in…

“~Little darlin’, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter~” Bruce joins in, a wobble to his voice as tears build further.

“Little darlin’, it feels like years since it's been here~” Clay’s voice is softer than they ever remember hearing it.

“~Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo~” Branch continues, eyes sliding over their faces one by one.

“~Here comes the sun, and I say, It's alright~” Floyd finally joins, stuffy nose making the notes come out froggy, but the sentiment is the same.

The brothers pick up the rest together, harmonizing and blending and taking the turns needed, like they had never split in the first place, never stopped singing for the fun of it.

“~Little darlin', the smile's returning to their faces

Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes~” Branch’s voice fades with each word, until it's gone all together.

His eyes have slid closed, his breaths slow and shaky, and only getting worse, the brothers share teary looks over his head, their tones turning somber.

“~Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's alright

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo

Here comes the sun

It's alright

It's alright~”

Tear soaked cheeks, wet plops across the leaf vest and slack face. They could almost imagine he’s sleeping. Sobs fill the air, four brothers hunched over a fifth, agony filled cries, remorseful apologies, pleading prayers to whatever muses will listen.

It takes them a moment too long to notice anything changing. A glow around them, familiar and new at the same time. Branch disappears from beneath them, startled gasps and choked sobs as their heads whip around, a voice surrounding them.

"Remember and you just might heal.”

Flashes of light as they disappear one by one.

.

.

.

“Bitty B, what's ya thinkin’ bud?”

“Did I do good, Johnny?”

A hitch in his breathing, a stutter in his heart, he kneels before the 3 year old,

“You did amazing, Branch, I’m so proud of you.”

“We gonna stay together?”

“Yeah. You’re stuck with us.”

“...I like this time better.”

“Me too, me too.”

((Time loop route that I couldn't fit in without making this ten times longer:

Branch isn't mad at his brothers anymore because he's met so many versions of them and found love in each one's heart, healing something small each time. Branch doesn't get used to dying, he treats every time like it will be his last. He's woken up so many times back to the same day, he's lost count. A small grey trolling in a barely made bunker. He's seen the village die, by critter or bergen alike. He's seen the world of trolls beyond the forest and all that could come with it with the slightest change. But mostly, at some point, without fail, despite all the changes, his brothers are there. Finally, he decides to make them his focus, to see what life would be like. So he wakes up, a kid alone in a hole (bunker) and goes to leave. He finds a letter, his brothers in danger, he doesn't hesitate to go. But Branch is hit, mortally wounded. His brothers are safe. He feels no anger in his heart anymore. How could he hate them when he's seen how much they love and grieve and live. Whether he knows it's the last time or not, Branch doesn't want to go with any anger in his heart. That child inside of him that misses his brothers slowly heals as they join his song.))

Go read this if you crave for a good brozone angst

[ohposhers]

My favorite thing is how lowkey uncomfortable Branch's brothers look when they find out Branch highkey replaced them with a new band/found family after they left LOLOL

JD and Clay being quick to crack incredibly forced jokes to cover up the awkwardness of the situation ooo And you KNOW the Kismet trolls probably think so fucking lowly of all of them too if Branch confided in them over everything that happened throughout the years rrrrr I think the brothers would definitely take personal issue with particular members too uh ohh the girls are fightingg

and they know they have no right to be mad cause they are the ones who walked out and never came back but they're gonna be bitter anyway <333 i love troll drama

[sandflakedraws]

re : how each brother reacts learning that they can't go back

you'll have to pry the "all the Brozone Bros knew what happened at the tree" headcanon outta my cold, dead dead dead hands.

[finnylemon]

🥚John Dory and the lonely egg 💔

Headcanon that the brother's dad left before they even knew Branch existed and he was just left in a basket with a note for JD to find 🥲 we love giving our boys trauma ✨️

This is shortly after losing their mother 💕😭 BABY FLOYD IS SO CUTE HERE HELPPP give John a hug PLEASEEEE Branch is basically the equivalent to a premature baby because of this 😌🫶 so smol

"Casually recites this extremely traumatic event with a shrug"

[trollstavern]

👀

If you're able to think of more stuff to add to this, I'd love to hear it!

anyway it's BroZone Angst o' clock over here just. Thinking about BroZone, all of them, reflecting post-Floyd rescue and thinking, were things really so bad that this is what it took to bring us all together again?

All of them getting hit with the thought of if it weren't for this horrible thing that happened to our brother....... would we have ever gone back?

and all of them proceeding to bury this thought, for Branch's sake more than any of their own

[em-doods]

I sketched this really angsty thing byeeee

[rootsbe4branches-trolls]

“Forever fiances”

WHO PUT ALL THIS ANGST NEXT TO MY SILLY COMICS?!

Viva and Willow comic2

Okay to whoever said that Willow never had a daughter is totally wrong because Viva is totally adopted in her mind (she’s actually Willow’s goddaughter but she will fight Peppy for her in a second).In this comic Floyd is still an egg that’s why Viva said 4 kids instead of 5. I actually made this comics with totally different characters on a different scenario (I was going to introduce a new parent character) but I didn’t like how it turned out so I made it from the beginning but with Viva. ( i found Viva’s obsession for planning Poppy’s wedding so funny for no reason and that gave me the idea)

I’m still deciding If I should show more of Rowan and Willow when they met or wait a little longer and show it after showing how they got taken??? I don’t know Maybe a comic about the present? I’m still deciding, comics are taking longer because I’m also on other projects so I don’t have a lot of time.

(Me after posting this)

[glitterp0prhaps0dy]

cant stop thinking about the fact john dory said HE CAME BACK BUT NO ONE WAS THERE, HE THOUGHT HIS ENTIRE FAMILY WAS DEAD YALL-

[shirecorn]

Trick or treat!

You get! MORE Trolls Fanart

[shimmerbell-pop]

ANGST TROLLS

Absolutely nothing is known about Brozone's parents, but there is this theory that they were irresponsible parents who only left their eggs to John and Grandma Rossiepuff, only to leave again.

And it is from this dynamic that John becomes obsessed with being perfect, believing that if he can be the perfect son, he could get his parents to stay with him.💔

Human Pirate AU ~ Chapter 4 (End for Now)

The first to return is met with a husk of what was. Striving for freedom, adventure, yet to lose a treasure that can never be replaced. Tale of 5 brothers with a bond so effortlessly broken by the pursuit for something more.

[thestarswithinthesewalls]

I like to hc that after the events of trolls 3 the brothers would just randomly hang out, to get to know each other again and bond, and one day some random person saw them and the interaction went along the lines of:

Stranger to Branch: *Laughs* Being the oldest must be hard.

*All brothers look at each other in confusion*

Branch: Umm...I'm not the oldest.

Stranger: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I just though- Well because- Um... well, who is the oldest?

JD: That would be me.

Stranger: I never would have thought. It's just that Branch is always so serious and protective, of himself and the village. Plus, look at those crow's feet. *They say jokingly obvi* Anyway, sorry again. Have a nice day.

After that the brothers all turn to look at Branch, like REALLY look at Branch. The deep lines and wrinkles, probably permanently scars from living in the wild for like 20 years and his stitched up pants that he did himself. Then Branch is all like,

"What? Raising myself since I was 4 wasn't an easy easy and stress-free job to do."

And the weight of leaving a full child to fend for themselves really hits them like a truck and they start tearing up and apologizing and they sit down to finally and fully talk about the elephant in the room. I just know that after the events of trolls 3 Branch did not just fully forgive and forget the 2 decades of abandonment and probably still harbors a bit of anger and other emotions deep down but he doesn't talk about it and I need him to talk about it and just ARRGH-
