#trolls dickory

WAHOOO here's my piece for the @sing-it-togetherzine, which you can find a free gumroad download link for right here~! 138 pages of troll goodness for your enjoyment :DDD

the theme was 'relationships' and i wanted to try and include as many details between these characters as i could :

Branch, as the man that everyone can rally behind.

Poppy as the first one to notice Branch's struggle and offer him help.

Likewise, the first person Poppy thinks to call on is her sister :3

Then it's Viva calling out to her long time co-runner Clay, and Bruce jumping in for him too.

Clay's addition also introduces a 🎉new strategy🎉! The characters start alternating sides for pulling the rope.

And Floyd joining in changes the strategy again, to something a bit more... mischievous, shall we say.

One crucial aspect is that Floyd runs his idea by Branch (the man in charge) before going for it.

Hickory, for his part, doesn't pull his punches for the group. There's no ~tricking~ them by faking an early loss, it's all gotta be genuine.

And of course, Hickory's undoing is his tender heart.

In the back, Dickory and John banter over which side they want to win.

Just the fact that John is letting go of the reins here, allowing the group to lead themselves, is very Big for him.

Dickory's suspicion of what Floyd has planned (warranted).

John's sitting out because he's got a cast on his arm, but it's been "signed" by various stickers from the group (yellow star from viva, pink heart from poppy, green lightning bolt from clay, etc etc etc). and of course

flickory (cause my city now)

in conclusion can u tell i love the interplay of this cast a lot

original zine format under the cut:

I might fall back into my trolls obsession just because I miss drawing chaz so much

[tezzbot]

Do you guys think if I draw the scenes in my head enough the fic will write itself? What if I keep trying anyway?

I'm imagining little Branch seeing Hickory as like the kid that's ever so slightly older than you that you find just so cool even if in reality he is also just also a little nerd LOL

Had a lot of fun redesigning little Hickory and a younger Dickory for these hehe<3

Me: *writing my Trolls Main AU*

Whispers in my mind: You should make John Dory a Bounty Hunter

Me: DAMMIT I'M ALREADY HALF WAY IN--

---

And that's how I made a Bounty Hunter John Dory AU. An AU to my Main AU ;-;

In this AU:

-John Dory became a bounty hunter two years after he left the Troll Tree and escaped Bergen Town.

-His Bounty Hunter name is "The Piranha"

-He had returned to Bergen Town after everyone was gone, so with the thought that his family was dead, he left for the Neverglade Trail and never came back.

-He became a Bergen Slayer after finding the Troll Tree dead. It only lasted a day.

-His first encounter with Bounty Hunters was meeting his cousin Chaz (they didn't know they were cousins yet). They became fast friends, and Chaz helped him settle into the bounty hunting life.

-He stole clothes from dead Bounty Hunters and tore some of his Brozone vests to make an outfit.

-He meets Hickory and Dickory during one of his and Chaz's bounties in Lonesome Flats. Hickdory and Chaz x Dickory ship ❤️❤️

-Hickory and John Dory get married five years into John's bounty hunting career. Chaz and Dickory follow after.

-John is given a machete by Hickory while John gives a glove to Hickory.

-He participates in the bounty during the Rock-pocalypse (so he reunites with Branch early, hehe).

This really happened (I work at DreamWorks)

continuing thoughts from This Dream AU

re : why it might have taken the gang a while to find Bruce & Floyd

how about i erase just a little bit of the plot convenience from TBT

what if, bruce's postcard didn't survive unscathed, and they had to go off of john dory's foggy memory of the thing.

so like. they're stumbling their way through a bunch of could-be-heres before they hit on the correct one.

and what if, the Vacay Resort section was legit hard to find.

like, the entire island chain is still at Vacaytioner scale, right? so even if the search party's idea to eventually look there was right, it could still take a long time to navigate thru the tropical jungle on any individual island, let alone many of them.

.... aaaaand what if i drew way too much for a potential reunion anyways because i'm a sap

[hey-hey-j]

this is me suddenly remembering that Lisi has uncles on both sides

Hello, It's been a while. I'm back with some art for the Bounty Hunter Branch au.

I was asked a while ago about interactions between the other bounty hunters and Branch, so I drew some.

Now, I'm going to Info dump about The Bounty Hunter's relationship with Branch.

Hickory: When he first saw Branch, he thought Branch was some small kid who got lost. When he found out about Branch being one of the new bounty hunters, he was heartbroken. How can a kid so little do such a dangerous job? Where was his parents? Where does he live? Why is he out here alone? Why is he gray? All these questions plagued his mind, so from that day onward, he was determined to befriend his stubborn kid.

Dickory: At First, he didn’t care about Branch. He was just some little kid trying to get himself killed, but then, over the years, he heard about how the grey hunter would take out his targets with ease. He was as quick as lighting and quiet as a mouse. No one could catch him. It was like he was invisible. After that, Dickory didn’t trust Branch. Saying he's hiding something.

K-Pop Gang: They are very curious about the lonely teenager. They are also worried about him being gray, but they don’t ask because the last time when Hickory asked, Branch yelled and almost got into a fight with him, and no one saw him for two weeks after that. It also doesn’t help that Branch doesn’t like music and cuts off the radio when he walks into The Milkshake Bar. It makes it hard to connect with him. But that doesn’t stop them. They will try to befriend him no matter what.

Tresillo: He didn’t know about Branch until he saw him collecting a bounty. He had never seen anything like it, a fog that makes trolls fall asleep. When he woke up after the fog knocked him out, he saw the village was fine, but the mayor was missing, and no one knew where he went. He felt better that no one else was hurt. But, after that, he became wary of Branch.

Marimba and Tambora: They don’t think anything of Branch. But they know Tresillo is uneasy around him, so they are also wary of Branch.

Chaz: He never seen Branch but knows of him. He stays clear of him.
