Had a silly dream where JD and Floyd came back to the troll tree before the last trollstice but after singing killed their grandma and decided to doodle and expand upon it a bit
Clay never left the tree but was too scared to return to the families pod since he didn’t want things to go back to how they were before, he did try to find his brothers during the escape but got separated by the cave in.
John Dory was the one to find Clay and see him get caught by the cave in, when he came out of the tunnel without Clay and holding his wristband they all just assumed he was dead. Even so JD still searches for Clay with the hope that he might’ve escaped and is alive out there.
They know Bruce is alive but after JD got the post card he assumed Bruce didn’t want to be found
Some more doodles that kind of show their dynamic

Also-
JD always brings home souvenirs for the brothers both as an apology for being gone for so long and also because of this:

hey there! you kinda have seen me already by freaking out about Floyd he’s actually is what I wanted to request!
if it’s possible, could you write a little fic on how reader could be when they (pronouns are your opinion) found out about floyd being captured? OR HEAR ME OUT PLS—
reader is Floyd‘s partner (girlfriend/boyfriend, again your opinion) BUT was captured WITH him, bc all the time I was watching the movie I imagined them being with Floyd since young and bc of cliché drama I love *cries*
again it’s your option on doing it or not !!
I LOVE THIS IDEA! Okokokokok
Tumblr media
You were childhood best friends- and when he joined the band? You became their manager!
You wanted to support him and you didn’t want to interrupt the whole boys only band so you went with next best thing!
After the failed show you try to keep everyone from leaving
JD tells you to move, and shoves you out the way when you try to block the door
Clay just shakes his head and leaves
Spruce lays a hand on your shoulder and whispers “look after them for me”
At first Floyd tries to leave without you- after giving Branch his vest, he asks you to look after him
You nodded- but the minute he was out of sight you started crying
“What are you waiting for girl? Go get him!”
Grandma tells you she’ll be fine looking after branch on her own so you run off after Floyd
“FLOYD! FLOYD WAIT!” You shouted, seeing his figure turn around, his eyes widening when he saw you running towards him.
“Y/n? What are you doing? I thought you were gonna look after Branch”- he started to say before he saw your tears
“Im not gonna watch the boy I have loves since who knows when walk out the door without him knowing how I feel” you panted taking his hand in yours and meeting his eyes shyly “we could be so good together, we can make this last forever!”
Floyd blinked a few times before laughing slightly “wow! I never thought that you’d like me- I mean I’m not the heart throb or the fun one”
You interrupted “I don’t like them! I like you! A lot”
“I like you a lot too-you sure you wanna come with me?”
You nodded and he grinned, intertwining your fingers and starting to walk away from the pod together, hand in hand as you talked about the future
Tumblr media
Ok now- I’m gonna mix ideas here
Let’s say when he got captured you were still with him but not present at the time
So when you got back to the pod you and your long term boyfriend had made to see it wrecked with big foot prints leading away from it
You immediately assumed he’d been eaten by a Burgan
Absolutely heartbroken you fixed the pod back up on your own and fell into a grieving depression
Everywhere you looked you saw memories of him
And then far into the future one day- you get a letter
Supposedly from your dead boyfriend!
You- despite thinking that he was dead- were desperate to see him again, and if that lead to your death then so be it!
You got in your catterbug van called Chloe and head straight for the ‘mount rageous’ that the letter had specified
Once you got to the place this “Velvet and Veneer” we’re singing at you snuck in and noticed the dressing room door open a smidge
You peaked in slightly and felt your eyes water
There he was- Floyd was alive! You couldn’t believe it- you took a few steps back to grasp what you were seeing before a bumping into something.
You looked up and Veneer looked down at you before snatching you up and laughing slightly
“Wow! Another troll? I wonder which one you are? Either way- more talent for us I suppose!” Veneer muttered before entering the dressing room
Floyd looked up from his crossed legs as one of his captors Veneer walked into the room with something in his hand
He had been thinking of you- he always thought about you- between the torture of having his talent drained he dreamed of being back in your shared pod- in your arms
He startled from his thoughts as another diamond perfume bottle was slammed down onto the counter next to him, and felt his heart drop and eyes water when he noticed who was in it
Floyd waited for veneer to leave the room- probably to go get velvet to tell her the good news of having another troll to drain before standing up and pressing his hands to the wall of his prison
“Y-Y/n? Is- is that you?”
You nodded, already crying your eyes out just from looking at him
“What are you doing here? You shouldn’t have come- they’re gonna drain you-“
He stopped when he noticed your tears streaming down your face and had a déjà-vu moment of when you first told him you liked him
“I thought you were dead”
You whispered, dropping to your knees-
“There’s no way I would pass up a way to see you- I love you!” You pressed your hands against the diamond as well and he felt his eyes well with tears
“I love you too-“
Velvet came storming into the room and cackled when she saw your face fill with fear
“Oh- you are gonna be mine!” She said grasping the bottle and starting to walk back out
“NO!” Floyd shouted “not her, drain me first-“
Velvet sneered slightly
“Seeing as you’ve said that- no, I’m gonna drain her, veneer can have you. I want a newer talent”
She left the dressing room and the door slammed shut on Floyd- his tears finally falling

Brozone diner au: the day John Dory took off part one
this au does not belong to me, it belongs to @bzjohndory its gonna have to be multiple parts bc i write too much apparently
Business was slow, it was a hard winter and most trolls didn't leave their pods unless they had to. Bruce was the one to suggest it, knowing his brother hadn't had a day off in seven years. They all had special days that they got off like birthdays or anniversaries, except for John Dory. He didn't take days off, he worked open to close seven days a week. Bruce brought it up with others, knowing he wouldn't get anywhere without back up from their younger brothers. Bruce talked with Clay in between orders on the line. “I'm just saying, we haven't been that busy these past few weeks so I think he can just take a day off at least. We're all responsible enough to take care of the diner while he's gone.” Bruce said as he pulled some fries out of the fryer, portioning them on a plate and passing it to Clay. “Yeah but how do you plan on making him? We've tried making him before and he literally spent the entire day in the diner, working on other stuff ." Clay wondered as he finished plating a couple burgers, putting them in the window to be ran. At that moment, Floyd came into the back and leaned against the wall. “You good Flo?" Clay asked as he worked on the next order. Floyd nodded and held up a thumbs up but they noticed how his hand shook. Bruce threw some fries on a plate and slid a milk crate over to Floyd. “Sit down and have a snack. And while you're back here I wanna talk to you about something." Bruce said, handing the plate of fries to Floyd as he sat on the milk crate. Floyd nodded and started eating the fries while still leaning with his back against the wall. After a few moments of no orders coming in, Bruce crouched down next to Floyd. “Feel better?" Bruce asked while rubbing his back. “Yeah, I skipped breakfast this morning so I started to get the shakes." Floyd chuckled, placing the empty plate on the floor. Clay grabbed some dirty dishes they had on the line and grabbed the plate for the floor, taking them to the dish room. “So before you go back up there, I wanna talk to you about this thought I had. Clay thinks I won't be able to do it. I won't be able to do it by myself, I'll need all of your guys' help." Bruce said nonchalantly, watching for JD to be walking around. “What's up? I'm sure I can help somehow." Floyd said as he pulled his money out of the pocket on his apron. “I wanna get JD to take a day off. He hasn't taken a day off since he got ownership of the diner. If he had his way, we'd still be open on Christmas, and he would totally run this entire place by himself if he had to. He deserves it, he's kept this place afloat, put each of us through college and is here every goddamn day. This isn't gonna be like the last time, he's not gonna be allowed back in here until the next day.” Bruce said, looking Floyd in the eyes telling that he is completely serious about this. Clay came back in with clean dishes and began setting them up on the line. “I think he's crazy if he thinks he's going to get John to do it. He practically lives here, I don't think I've actually seen his place.” Clay said, placing plates in their proper spots. "Yeah but if we work together, I'm sure John will listen to us. You guys don't see him on the floor as much as I do. He's constantly moving, like if he stops, he'll pass out. Sometimes he shakes too. And Bruce is right, he's more than earned a day off, heck a week, we'll be lucky if we get one day.” Floyd said as he sorted his money, putting it back into his book. "I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it or need it. I'm saying that we might have to actually tie him down to get him out of here. He's not going to like the idea.” Clay said, cleaning up their prep area.  "What are you guys talking about?” Branch said through the server window. Bruce stood up and motioned for Branch to come back there. Branch walked back onto the grill line, confused.

I’m not going anywhere
Short little broppy oneshot abt poppy comforting branch 💕💙
(my first ever fanfic?? go easy on me)
——————————————————
I’m Not Going Anywhere
The sun was finally setting, revealing a night sky that was covered in stars. After a long day of being on the road and trying to practice their “perfect family harmony” to save Floyd the group decided to take a break before it was time to turn in for the night. JD and Bruce were chatting off in the distance while looking at some tree and Clay was inside the bus getting his bed ready for the night. Branch was busy being lost in his own world. He sat down in the grass, running his blue fingers along the blades. Of course seeing his brothers again after all these years was great and he was happy to see them again but it also wasn’t easy. The whole ordeal exhausted him with the emotional war constantly happening in his head.
He hated the way being with his brothers made him feel like that baby again. Helpless and small watching them walk out the door, leaving him alone with their grandmother who then died at the hands of a bergen not long after. Before her death Branch could tell how much she missed her grandsons. She’d put on a happy face for him of course but he could still hear her crying sometimes at night. He held onto the hope that they would return and that they could be a family again. He built the bunker for them just like him and Floyd had planned all those years ago still hoping they’d come back. Part of him hated them for what they did to not just him but also their grandmother.
He hated them for leaving him especially when he needed them the most. He hated them for leaving him to be alone after their grandma died. He hated them for not being there to do something so their grandma didn’t have to die. He hated them even for trying to pretend like nothing happened since then, for trying to pretend like he’s still that baby they abandoned. Even with all the hate he couldn’t help but still love them. He couldn’t help but still want to be a family again and fix what had become so broken. He could recognize that they all came from broken lives in some way and that he wasn’t the only one who had suffered. All of it was confusing and hard to understand.
His complicated thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice. One that he loved to hear, the voice that always seemed to speak the right words when he needed it. The voice that belonged to his favorite face in the world.
“Branch?” Poppy said gently, sitting down in the grass next to him, knees curled up to her chest mimicking how he was sitting, her shoulder resting against his, “Are you alright?” She spoke slowly and carefully. “Not really” is what he wanted to say but then he knew that would lead to a “what’s wrong?” and that was a question that was too complicated for him to even answer to himself.
So instead he replied, “Yea, I’m alright”, in a shaky whisper, not quite selling it like he wanted to. He assumed Poppy wasn’t going to take that for an answer and he knew that she knew better than anybody when he wasn’t really alright. It was impossible for him to hide his true emotions from her.
It was to his surprise when instead of digging for a better response she simply replied to his answer with, “I’m proud of you.” She leaned into his shoulder as she said it and tried to catch his eye.
He looked up from the ground locking his gaze into her pink eyes with a slightly confused look on his face, “For what?” he asked. She gave him a small but genuine smile.
“For all of it,” She said, grabbing hold of his hand and running her thumb along it, “for being here right now, for giving family and trust another chance, for how far you’ve come, for having such a great heart even after everything you’ve been through, all of it.” He looked back at the ground, feeling hot tears spring into his eyes that he tried to keep from falling, she kept her gaze on him and squeezed his hand. “I know this isn’t easy for you, Branch but I’m so proud of you for taking it all in so well. We’re in this together, me and you, and I’m not going anywhere, no matter what.”
Branch looked back into her eyes as she reached up with her free hand to wipe away the tears that fell despite his protest. She always knew exactly what to say to him. Most of the time he felt like he didn’t deserve someone like her. She was, without a doubt, the best thing in his life and he would do anything not to lose her.
That was one of his many reasons for being so hesitant to come on this trip. He knew it would be difficult, he knew how vulnerable it would make him, he knew how many complicated emotions would come up. He was terrified to have the girl he loved see him like this. He was scared it’d push her to give up and leave him just like everybody else had in the past, but hearing her say those words made him realize he had nothing to be scared of. She not only understood him but she accepted and loved him for where he was at.
“I love you,” He said. Three words that seemed so simple and routine but that meant everything to him. Three words that silently spoke a thousand more.
She smiled at him before she pulled him in for a hug, wrapping her arms around him tightly, “I love you too, Branch, so much.” He knew she meant it too and for that moment all of the questions without answers, all of the pain and hurt, all of the confusing thoughts and feelings didn’t matter anymore. He had Poppy and that’s all that mattered.
thanks for reading hope you enjoyed :)
I love them so much

a few little things I'd change in TBT for the third act in order to improve the story imo.
Tumblr media
this image isn't actually related to the current topic I just included it cause its cute lol Branch's mopey face and his big feet sticking out 😭😭😭😭
anyway I really feel like following the big argument and Poppy and Branch going off separate from Bro zone Branch should also get captured I'd have him go down first by himself into the room where Floyd is only to get taken by V and V before Poppy has to chance to come down from the air duct.
so afterwards she runs away after Branch tells her to realising she wouldn't be able to take V and V on by herself.
so she catches back up with Rhonda where the brothers were all going to go back to their homes since they figured Poppy and Branch would just save Floyd on their own and that they didn't want them involved anymore.
but after telling them that Branch was also captured obviously they all agree to put their petty crap to one side to go save the two youngest ( I'm not gonna write Bro zone as complete psychopaths 😂😂😂😂)
really its pretty simple this way the next handful of scenes can actually focus on the older Brothers aka the ones who frankly need the attention more than Poppy and Branch did.
since Poppy's arc was over after the scene directly following the argument so she and Branch didn't actually need any more screen time after that.
this way we can get a few more scenes of the older Brothers still struggling to work together despite their mutual goal of saving Floyd and Branch.
I'd have JD be the one to have the eureka moment of realising their family doesn't need to be perfect after overhearing Poppy since ya know he was the one who actually had that problem making Branch have that realisation is kinda arsed backwards tbh.
I'd have one scene of Branch and Floyd being reunited only this time its while their both in separate prisons it can be nice and sweet but also have Branch nervously question him on why he never came back.
and maybe Floyd somewhat ashamed says that he went out on his own and tried to start his solo career but he failed very badly.
he wanted to prove he could maybe be his own person outside of his older brothers but he couldn't hack it and he was too embarrassed to face Branch and Grandma.
so he held off on coming back for a few years but when he did finally decide to by then the Trolls had already left so it was the same deal with JD Floyd saw the empty tree and their Grandma's empty pod.
and either thought that they were both dead or that they both had escaped together but either way he didn't think he'd ever see them again.
I'm not saying this is the perfect explanation for Floyd I'm just putting it fourth as one possible idea anyway back to Bro zone.
just before the climax I'd have one last scene briefly between JD Bruce and Clay where JD actually owns up to his wrongdoings and for causing the family to split apart.
and while they do say they appreciate JD finally acknowledging his behaviour they do also admit it isn't entirely on him as obviously they were just as quick to Break their family up.
anyway we head on to the climax this time while trapped Branch and Floyd actually get to witness their older bros all standing together to confront V and V.
and the climax can almost basically play out the same only this time after retrieving Branch's Diamond prison JD is the one who huddles everyone together to say the thing about them not needing to be perfect.
and him saying he'll step back and let someone else lead to which one of the other Bros reaction could be "" who are you? "" lol.
anyway the Harmony goes as normal Floyd is saved as normal and after Floyd is back on his feet and Branch and Poppy have had their little moment.
then the Bro zone members have their moment with Branch and JD is the first to apologise given he feels the whole thing is his fault and he was the first one to walk away.
but Bruce and Clay do step up to acknowledge their wrongdoings as well leaving the family altogether simply because they were angry with JD.
and also being so quick to want to walk away again in present day simply because it was easier than actually trying to deal with any of their problems and not actually taking his feelings into account.
anyway most of the ending scene with Kismet's introduction and what not can stay the same tho I would like to add in a small detail of Bro zone maybe doing something.
like they all excitedly try to go in for a big group hug beginning to playfully pull Branch in against his will only for him to look visibly uncomfortable before the bros kinda realise their mistake and backtrack.
saying sorry and that they forgot showing a bit of growth from their earlier interactions in the film and showing that they are actually trying to take things at a slower pace as per Branch's wishes.
anyway yeah that's just a few changes I'd make to the films third act to try and make it feel a little more complete as honestly having Bro zone getting captured for the third act literally does nothing.
in terms of character arcs the film continued focusing on Poppy and Branch following the argument scene even tho their arcs were done Bro zone were the ones who needed that screen time.
so having them be captured and literally forced to do the Harmony in a life or death situation does nothing for their arcs nor the story overall.
it'd literally be better if they never showed up in the movie again as opposed to showing up only to be captured and then forced to compromise in order to save their own lives.
and then playing happy families acting like they had a complete arc when they didn't.

Hey :))
What if JD had a friend from his band days, like, she had a band and they hung out backstage. Maybe he had a crush on them but had to keep it a secret to now „ruin fans fantasies“ or something
But when he separated they never saw each other again. And years pass, readers band stops making music after a while and becomes a bunch of responsible adults.
But when he comes to tell Branch about Floyd he recognizes his crush/friend and is all over them?
Sorry this is kind of specific :
-(seen other ppl giving names so…) Gummy Anon
Tumblr media
Ooooooo ok
Your band wasn’t as well known BUT it always opened for Brozone
You were in a band with three others, and you were the oldest
You were the main vocalist and backup guitarist
And JD was amazed when he first heard you play
He’s the reason you always opened for them-
Though he’ll never admit it
Y’all started the ritual of hanging out backstage before he started to get more stressed about the performance being perfect
You’d mainly chill out, talk about songs that either one was writing- hell you’d even help each-other write songs
Flirting with each other through song and performances
And then one day he just started… distancing himself from you and your band
All his brothers would still talk to you but he always seemed to find a reason to leave the room or ignore you
After a while you went over to Grandma Rosiepuff’s a couple of months of this strange behavior
Cause you wanted to hang out with bitty b after the bad performance yesterday
You wanted to reassure him that happens all the time
But what ended up happening is Grandma Rosiepuff comforting you both as the news of the brothers leaving without a good bye, settled over you
Years later…
You had been with branch throughout all the hard times, helping him where you could and where he allowed you to
And now you were watching Bridget and Gristle get married
“STOP THE WEDDING!”
You whipped your head around- ready to fight, and then you noticed the troll flying through the air and landing on the aisle
Your eyes widened as you recognised who the troll was
Your eyes started to tear up before you turned away and leapt down the stairs to hide behind a bergans leg, signalling them to be silent as you desperately tried to wipe your tears away
“Sorry, sorry- I’m uh, I’m looking for a troll called AH! Baby BRANCH!!”
You watched him scramble up to Branch, feeling bad that you weren’t up there with him but knew Poppy would have his back
He awkwardly interacted with Branch before Poppy insisted he stop and tell them who he is
JD introduced himself and you laughed slightly as Poppy unintentionally roasted him
John Dory’s head turned at heating your laughter looking down at the crowd before turning and asking Branch
“Is… is y/n here?”
You covered your mouth as Branch confirmed you were but holding JD back from looking for you-knowing you’d come out when you were ready
You watched as he explained the situation with Floyd and watched as an Armadillo van emerged from the floor
Whilst Poppy and Branch were being introduced to Rhonda- you snuck aboard
Noticing a framed picture of you and JD by the bed, smiling slightly you picked it up and sat down on the bed- waiting for the group to board Rhonda
“All aboard who’s coming aboard!” JD yelled, hoping that you would pop out of the crowd and run aboard- sighing as he closed the door after Poppy and Branch
“Y/n?…”
You looked up to see the trio looking at you
You made direct eye contact with JD before standing up slowly and placing the photo down carefully
“Y/n… Im sorry- i shouldn’t have ignored you or left without saying goodbye, I was scared of my feelings towards you and- I just got so wrapped up in the band that I let what was essentially my image get in the way of… us. I understand if you don’t wan-“
He was cut off by you bursting into tears and running to him, wrapping your arms around him hiding your face in his chest- not wanting to look at him just yet
He let few tears escape after he buried his face into your hair and wrapped his arms around you- holding on to you like you were gonna disappear
Poppy was awing in the background
For the rest of the journey he was always sneaking glances at you
Making sure you were safe, wrapping his arm around you
Watching as you interacted with his brothers
Doesn’t want to admit the way he blushes when you hid behind him like the old days when you first got to where his brother Clay was staying
Catches you singing along with his parts during the performance at Bruce’s restaurant
He winks at you
Dances with you inside the diamond prison because you were put in the same one
Sings with you during the perfect family harmony, letting both your voices combine
Confesses in the moment before he goes up to sing with Branches band
Hears you scream “YEAH THATS MY BOYFRIEND!” And almost blinds the crowd with how bright his smile gets
Pulls you up on stage when branch pulls Poppy up- you both just enjoy yourself la during the Family song
He dips you in a kiss at the end
