if you don鈥檛 know the difference between a hare and a rabbit you鈥檝e never gazed into the cold wild eyes of a hare and known that if it could speak it would speak backwards
鈽匩o way I spent like 7 hours making a cringey comic for the Troll Twins AU im sick to my stomach
Using trolls for their talent is a lot darker if you are one yourself, I love the idea of Vel and Ven being trolls who can't sing rahahah
i saved a bunch of memes earlier so im definitely making more of these, they were fun (and good practice! i need to get back into the hang of drawing these guys)
Trollstopia server has already seen my ramblings but I have got to yell them out into the tumblr void. Because I'm still thinking about it. So-
This is the first scene where Branch truly gets to dance and sing with any of his brothers again, for the first time in 20 years, right?
During this clip you can see his movements and emotion go from lackluster and begrudging to... something so happy. His brothers sing "you're the reason why I sing this song" as he's turned around, away from the crowd, to face them. We see him realize where he is, who he's with, and what's happening - and we see him get hit with the joy of it. It looks like something liberating for him, and I really like that.
Look at his lil face 馃ス馃ス guys I just love him so much okay
As soon as it really hits him, he breaks out into song and the scene changes setting to show that all that's real to him, in that moment, is his family. All that's important to him are his brothers being there with him, singing and dancing all together. Everything immediately becomes much more bright and colorful in that moment.
Everyone in the room except him and his brothers fade away, and the setting goes from a dark stage to very bright and vibrant, and I think that helps a lot to get across what Branch is feeling here in this moment. He gets lost in the song and his joy.
In the beginning, where we see him break out into song right after his brothers gesture at him and are singing at him, waiting for him to join, he starts with "You're all I ever wanted | you're all I ever needed" and it feels like that's truly what he's feeling. That's where his mind is at, in that moment. He's been waiting and wanting his whole life to be with his brothers again, together as they are in this clip, and he's so, so happy once he realizes he's achieved it. He probably never thought he would!
He screws his eyes shut and throws his whole self forward and into that song and dance!! He's practically belting out those lines, he's so happy.
I'm so insane about this clip. I love being able to see how happy he is to be with his brothers again. That is all.
