Headcanon that Branch is very good at playing gambling games

He learned from the best

[vivianthepigeon]

Poppy: “I made this friendship bracelet for you!”

Branch: “ah, you know, I’m not really a jewelry person.”

Poppy: “You don’t have to wear it-“

Branch: “No I’m gonna wear it forever. Back off.”

[tezzbot]

I've seen quite a few people say that Branch was left alone to raise himself after his grandma died but, like, I really doubt that, because with their living situation there must have been hundreds of parents and primary guardians taken when their children were still young.

So I headcanon that there must have been a sort of, everyone was in charge of raising the kids as a collective type thing. It was just that Branch really had connection with pretty much no one outside of his family and had lost just so much already, and with him turning grey he wasn't able to bounce back like other kids his age might have been.

I imagine there was meal times he sat quietly away from everyone else, kind of picking at his food. He probably wouldn't have participated in any activities with the other kids. He just slowly isolated himself until eventually he was just left alone by other kids. Leaving any adults taking care of the groups he was in to simply worry about him, but still keep him fed and making sure he got outside at least once a day.

Maybe, like a lot of quiet kids, he took to reading. Sort of teaching himself how to survive (on paper lol). It was probably a "Well at least he's doing Something." for the caretakers lol

Then, on the night of the escape, someone would have had to have gone and got him, helped him through the tunnels, made sure that he got to the place that would become pop village, house him while he grew and began creating his bunker.

Then eventually he would become a snappy teenager, learning the the moodier he was, the more that other trolls, no matter his age or not, would begin just leave him alone.

Well GOOD, alone was what he really wanted.

...Wasn't it?

He would grump around outdoors sneering and barking things angrily at others and have his panic attacks and plans in the solitary saftey of his bunker... which Could be even safer, maybe if he just dug it down a little deeper... ten stories might just be enough... For storage that is.

He isolated himself. He made the village roll their eyes and turn their backs on him. Confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. Yes, as long as he was the one making people leave him on purpose then it was his decision not his fault

But there are likely some older trolls in the village that probably still wonder if they could have done more to prevent Branch from becoming so suddenly hateful and rude and miserable

Brozone headcanons

Clay is the type of brother to not believe what any of the others tell him. Whether they're lying to him or not, he don't believe them

John Dory can get his brothers to fall asleep in minutes. He's got all the tricks that knock them out. They worked when they were kids and still work now that they're adults.

Whoever ends up with John will get a wonderful lil house husband. He can cook, clean, bake, sew, and take care of children. Basically a house husband (or pod in this case)

John definitely dated Delta Dawn. They broke up bc they were too similar and too different. This was shortly after the band broke up and before Delta became queen. They were both young and adventurous. They wanted to travel the world together but Delta had responsibilities that she couldn't leave.

Floyd had ONE girlfriend. When he got on his own, Floyd told people he was bisexual bc he knew he wasn't straight but he thought he liked girls. He and that girl broke up on good terms bc she understood when he told her he's gay.

Floyd is scared of clowns

Bruce probably traumatized the little brothers more than John Dory did. He was the one that would force them to go into a haunted house, purposely jump out with a scary mask on type stuff

Drinks of choice: JD prefers whiskey, Bruce likes margaritas and brandy (obviously), Clay doesn't drink often, he likes white wine while he reads, Floyd likes SHOTS SHOTS and mixed drink (club/party drinks), branch doesn't drink much either but likes wine and occasionally mixed drinks.

Floyd is the holder of all the family secrets. He's really good at keeping them secret. Bruce and John are too but they're also known for telling embarrassing stories so none of the brothers want to tell them their secrets and risk it getting leaked

John is incredibly handy, he's very good at fixing most things. He can FIX things most of the time. He's no good at building.

All the boys are hopeless romantics

When one of the brothers (excluding Bruce in this case) get married after reuniting, they are all excitedly helping plan the wedding

Floyd can walk in heels

John Dory handles his machete very well. Nothing gets cut that he doesn't want cut. He also flips it around like a butterfly knife

When JD and Spruce went out to those teenage parties, they had a silent rule of one of them had to stay sober to make sure the other didn't do anything stupid, was safe and they both got home in enough time to get some sleep before having to wake up for the day. Spruce made sure John didn't wander off while stoned and listened to him talk whatever came to his high mind. John Dory made sure Spruce didn't eat something he wasn't supposed to while stoned or do anything stupid while drunk. It was never discussed but they knew that one of them had to be responsible for the other

Despite the band getting back together, both John and Floyd have sole careers that take off. Floyd is more for the performing and shows, JD is more for releasing songs and disappearing for several months. Floyd is selling out shows, John is dropping a song on YouTube that blows up within the first ten minutes. Brozone fans eat it up

While on stage and interacting with fans, the boys do very different things. John Dory leans towards the crowd and the fans go wild, he's a bit taken back but blows them a kiss (cue someone fainting). Bruce still plays up the heartthrob card, showing off his body, a fan yells and calls him daddy. He whispers into his mic "I didn't give you permission to call me that." in a flirty tone, cue the deafening screams. Clay was always shocked a little bit when fans start screaming when he gets close to the end of the stage, he's talking into his mic like "you good? You need something?" which causes the fans to all scream something at him. Floyd is the most memeable, hes making faces and sitting on the edge of the stage. He didn't used to that but after V&V he gets tired pretty quick. So he often ends up laying on the stage, his leg hanging off, his mic by his head along with a bottle of water. Clay kicked him off once and nobody knows if it was on purpose or not. Branch is NOT used to the fans. They're screaming at him and he's backing away. He's also very memeable until he gets more used to it. He didn't perform as much as his brothers (by that i mean he only truly performed once)

Bruce teaches John Dory how to surf. After several hours he gets the hang of it, it's like skateboarding only rougher.

Bruce sometimes watches his boys and sees him and his bros. Theyre wrestling and he can practically see himself, Clay and Floyd on the floor of their Grandma's pod

Grandma Rosiepuff spanked JD and Bruce with a wooden spoon. By the time she stopped, Clay was old enough for him to be next, so he got lucky. The wooden spoon she used had a wooden chunk taken out of it from when she hit John once. They find it while going through her old stuff that Branch had.

"Hey look it's the whooping spoon!"

"The what?!"

"The whooping spoon. The spoon grandma used to spank us."

"What makes you say that?"

"You see this chunk taken out, that's from my ass."

WAIT

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Is Branch the Michael Jackson of the trolls?

Youngest of 5 brothers

In a boyband

Brothers all broke up and never really spoke leaving the youngest alone

Voice of an angel

(future) KING OF POP (trolls)

[castielswap]

I'm so hoping that the Trolls Christmas special this year is about the struggle of getting the family together to take a decent holiday picture.

The struggle of finding a date that works for everyone because everyone is off doing their own thing and trying to get everyone in one place is absolute hell.

Trying to coordinate outfits, and it still ends up a bust. Either someone doesn't listen and wears something that doesn't match with the group, or a pair ends up twinning by accident, and now it's throwing off the rest of the group.

Posing also being absolute hell because you can't have A and B stand next to each other, A's way taller than B, but you can't put B next to D because you already know they can't be trusted to stand next to each other. If you move C next to E, then they'll make each other laugh and ruin the pictures, but if you put E next to A, then the picture will probably be a bit more balanced. Actually, instead of standing, how about we have everybody sit on some steps?

Cue the groaning and numerous complaints because they've been trying to take pictures for the past 15 minutes, and they've only gotten one decent picture. Decent being generous because, of course, somebody just had to sneeze and lowkey ruin the one picture they've managed to take 🙄

Anyway, lowkey might write a fic about this because every time I've been forced to take a family picture, it's been a terrible but fun experience 😁

[araremonaka]

My Floyd Design :3

I headcanon he has glass hands and feet still, and he clinks when he walks or claps his hands.

[secret-citrus]

A Concept: Each of the younger 4 Brozones get mistaken as the eldest at alternating times. Branch bc he's got crow's feet and a obsessive need to protect, Floyd's white roots get mistaken as a bad dye job covering up gray hair, Clay has a manic older-sibling energy to him and is always doting on his younger sibs, and Bruce is literally a dad. Every time it happens in front of JD, he gets incredibly grumpy.

[bobbydagen24]

when do you like to HC Branch as having Met Kismet?

I Read someone else's idea about Kismet having maybe been other kids who Branch met in a care home following his Grandma's death and they all befriended each other and started their little boy band.

tho as much as that idea melts my heart I do hate to admit that it wouldn't really fit with Branch's backstory given he supposedly never sang after his Grans death due to blaming himself.

but I do love the idea of Kismet being made up of loner misfit kids who all befriended each other when they had no one else so maybe it could tie in with the other options.

like maybe Branch met them after his bros left but before his Grandma died but he pushed them away and cut contact after her death and only got back in touch after the first movie.

or he could have just met them after the first movie as other people had the idea that he joined their Band to try and improve his social skills and make friends.

given how out of practice he was so maybe that could still work with my little HC as they could have been a group of friends/ a Band who all also came from troubled backgrounds and befriended each other.

and after the first movie Branch heard about them and went to ask if he could join to improve his social connections and Kismet had never met Branch before.

but they did know of him due to his Reputation as the village's crazy loner who always crashed social events so they accepted him pretty quickly given he seemed like exactly the kinda person who'd fit Right in with their little group of misfits 😂😂😂😂

and the Rest is History like I said I just like to think Regardless of when Branch met them Kismet had always been a tight knit group of other kids from troubled backgrounds who kinda became each other's family.

making it pretty easy for someone like Branch to be accepted into their group and to get close with them.

anyway what do you think?

[xxnomadsxx]

Branch would be the kinda guy to vent about horrible trauma as a joke then get asked if he’s ok only to reply with “eh, it’s no big deal”.

[tatibyg]

Branch, father of 8

You can't tell I've been re-watching the series, right?

[vivianthepigeon]

Omg I was just watching the scene where Jd, Bruce, and Branch all sing together and if you look closely Branch turns more blue when he sings with them! This could just be the lighting but id like to think it isn’t and he’s just happy to be singing with them ❤️

(Side note they are adorable)

Attempting to continue doing trolls pride things before June ends LOL

More trolls pride: Clay & Viva

[misscinnamonroll16]

Brozone headcanons

Clay and Floyd are the stunt men now that they're adults. Clay's always been a little bit of a daredevil, Floyd already died once, why not live a little.

Clay is nocturnal, like the rest of the Putt-putt trolls. His bros throw his sleep schedule off so when they're hanging out, it's not unusual for Clay to just be passed out somewhere or on someone. If they can, they get Clay to bed so he can properly sleep. If not, everyone's volume goes low.

Both Floyd and John Dory took bartending classes. And by took I mean, Floyd just so happened to be sleeping with a bartender who taught him some things. When making drinks, John's proper about it, Floyd is kind of messy. Floyd's over pouring and spilling.

Clay's handwriting is like a nice print. It's easy to read and looks good on paper.

John Dory is good at photography. He mostly uses this skill for taking nature shots but he's gotten good at candid shots of his brothers. He doesn't let them know about these pics bc they don't look the most photogenic but they look like themselves and that's what John loves to see.

JD has dimples

John Dory almost always has at least one weapon on him.

The brothers think JD has a death wish bc he's constantly going after animals that could literally kill him. "John! Don't touch that, it'll tear you to pieces!" "Psh, whatever. If we weren't supposed to pet it then why does look so fluffy?"

Floyd doesn't go into detail about his past. He'll tell snippets here and there but avoid questions. For one, because he's a bit embarrassed about it. He did a lot of things he isn't proud of, drugs, sleeping around, and drinking. For two, he knows that his older brothers still see him WAY younger than he actually is (like how they still see Branch as a baby) and it would just shatter that mentality. And he doesn't want to do that. For three, it's WAY more fun for him if they don't know and have to keep guessing. Floyd has heard them trying to figure out what he spent the last twenty years doing and starts fucking with them.

John Dory definitely has pictures from even when he was a baby and such. Even ones with their parents but he tries to keep those ones tucked away. Branch is going through them when he finds a picture that has been folded in one of the sleeves of the photo album. It's a picture of John and Bruce and their parents. JD quickly snatches the photo and shoves it his vest. Those people looked like strangers to Branch, that picture probably being the first time he's seen them

The brothers know they didn't have a good childhood but John did his best, despite being pretty much a child himself.

John Dory man spreads no matter who he is sitting next or if he's just sitting in a chair.

John Dory wears the one glove to hide an incredibly deep scar. He got into some trouble with some bounty hunters and needless to say, they drove a knife through his hand. He doesn't want his lil bros to know or worry about it so he hides it.

All the boys (like most trolls) are fuzzy. JD and Bruce have the most prominent facial hair and chest hair. They all have leg hair, arm hair, under arm hair, and a happy trail.

Clay and John have the Blond™️ gene (that's how I'm referring to it) where their hair goes through changes. That's why their hair is so much different from when they were kids. In the summer while spending a bunch of time outside, JD and Clay's hair gets lighter, Clay being a light yellow and John being a soft teal. The others convinced them to do one of those 'take a picture every day for a year' things and make it into a flip book to show how their hair changes color.

The boys really wanted a sister. John jokes that they kind of got one with Floyd

Floyd and John Dory are good gardeners. JD briefly grew his own food and Floyd just has a natural green thumb (not that John doesn't)

Floyd gets random nosebleeds

[rfsmith]

Don’t remember where I saw it, but there was a headcanon that John Dory is illiterate because he stopped attending school to take care of his brothers and their needs.

I can’t stop thinking about it now.

[fangomango]
