"Aren't you tired?" Branch's voice was quiet as he held a hand out the older troll. Whether it be that JD took it, or at least made a notion Branch was allowed touch him, the younger wanted to offer him comfort.
Cicadas chirped their song slowly in the air of the forest, small, lighting bugs and fluorescent lights casting a dim glow onto the fur of the trolls as they made their way down the peacefully bubbling creek's bend. Following a well-trod path, sandy and worn with stacks of rocks that JD and Branch had kicked over into piles earlier.
John Dory's steps slowed, and he shoved his hands in his pockets, face sinking into the fur of his worn gilet. The moon cast a grey wash over him, and the troll shrugged softly.
"Maybe... just of pretending that things we going to go back to the way I thought they'd be. I built a little dream in my head, but here I am. Stupid, old John Dory stuck in the past. He wants to be happy but he's just a scrapbooked version of what he used to be. He can't move on."
His voice was so small. And it broke Branch's heart, to see him like this. Tail dragging on the ground, the troll looking half his size. His face, grey and wary. Exhausted, in every sense of the word.
"Hey."
JD didn't know why the word had such an effect on him, but his stormy blue eyes were pulled from the discolored fur of his feet and up to Branch's much brighter, bluebird iries.
"You don't have to be stuck in the past anymore. I know exactly what that's like, JD. Let me help, okay?"
Dory shook his head minutely, a rush of anxious adrenaline filling his chest and shooting up his shoulders and down to his hands. His brother became a watercolor of himself as tears blurred and distorted JD's vision, and a trembling hand went up to wipe at the tears gingerly.
"Branch... I'm *scared.*"
"I was too. But I'm here for you. We all are."
He held out his arms, and JD collapsed into the hug. They went crashing down to the sand, and Branch held his brother as he sobbed his heart out.
He had him. And he wasn't letting go.

OK, so I've been working on this AU that I've been calling "Muted Colors" for the past week or two.
It's kind of a Grey!John Dory AU, except he gets his colors back a bit before the movie!
Tumblr media
Essentially, what happens is John Dory returns to the Troll Tree a few years after the Pop Trolls escaped. After seeing the abandoned tree, JD assumes they've all been killed, including his entire family, he loses his colors, turning grey.
Tumblr media
JD doesn't give up singing the way Branch does since there's no reason for him, too. However, he writes and sings songs with sadder, more melancholy tones. But he does promise never to perform for others the way he used to.
Tumblr media
JD does eventually get his colors back. I haven't decided exactly how quite yet, but I'm thinking he either hears Floyd performing a song on the radio, or gets the postcard from Spruce/Bruce(but it's actually signed), making him realize his brothers may still be alive.
However,like Branch, his colors are duller than they used to be. Their more muted and change depending on his mood. On top of that, his ears are also permanently dripped down. All this combined makes it so John Dory and Branch look incredibly similar.
Tumblr media
Because of their muted colors, that is clearly from being grey(at least it's clear to them), the two of them have a more understanding of each other. A silent understanding that they never really talk about. But an understanding nonetheless!
Also Branch, while he does still hold some resentment for being left, it's hard to really stay angry at your brother when the first thing he does upon seeing you is hug you tightly and say he was happy you were alive.

Trolls has me in a choke hold right now, and this is the result!

I feel like I have some of the most random headcanons. but I am lowkey obsessed with the fact that John Dory is so much older than Branch that he potentially could have dated their friends'/peers' parents, and/or anything else funny and possibly entertaining that the large age difference entails lmaokskssbcdsbcjdh

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

Never Too Far
Tumblr media
Little idea I had in my head and it made me snicker so I thought I'd make a comic of it. Something tells me Branch's brothers wouldn't hesitate to dogpile trollpile each other whenever prompted. And Poppy would totally start it.
