This is gonna sound SOOO off or smthn but
Was the Perfect Family Harmony planned to be a weapon against the Bergens?
Long post ahead bc brain is rotting
Ok so as we know, the Perfect Family Harmony is smthn that's so powerful that its capable of shattering diamonds. Not just that but its one of the only thing capable of doing so(according to Floyd it was the only thing but giving the benefit of the doubt)
So we know its strong, and we saw it blasting off Velvet and Veneer off their platforms when they performed it, and they weren't even the targets, they were blasted away by just the shockwave that came with using it.
Tumblr media
"Its that powerful."
Ok, so its definitely powerful enough to be used as a weapon right? Yeah it was relatively safe enough to use in front of a crowd, else they wouldn't have tried to do it during a concert, but that could just be when those harmonizing aren't targeting anything.
If it could shatter diamonds, how easily could it break cages? What would it do if it was used to target a Bergen? A whole Kingdom of Bergens?
Lets also go back to that concert, to that time John was obsessed with them getting it right. They were in the Troll tree, in Bergentown, a place where any of them could die during Trollstice. The Bergens were a huge threat, something that trolls, at their size, couldn't fight back against normally so they had to run instead right?
But what if they COULD fight back? What if they had a weapon so powerful that it might finally be able to free them? To defeat the monsters that tortured their kind for centuries?
What if John Dory found a way to help make sure nothing would threaten his brothers' safety ever again?
Like, it'd make John Dory's obsession make SOOO MUCH MORE SENSE
Like yea he clearly has OCD and anxiety and some bossiness and that definitely added to it all, but imagine if it was more than that?
Look at him during that performance. He was in deep. He had a wild look in his eyes, a sort of deranged obsession to have everything be perfect no matter what. It wasn't healthy, it was scary, maybe even downright terrifying for his brothers who had to be subjected to it.
But you know what else he looked like?
Tumblr media
Terrified
Tumblr media
Man was scared out of his mind. His anxiety and stress levels were through the roof. He probably was one wrong tune away from hyperventilating.
What if it was bc it was so much more than the fans? What if he put the salvation of the entire troll-kind on his shoulders?
One wrong step meant they were nothing.
One wrong step meant disappointing the fans.
One wrong step meant letting down the kingdom.
One wrong step meant another troll getting eaten.
Thats why when they failed, John blew up. He took all of that self-hatred of failing to use that weapon to defeat the bergens and poured it all onto his brothers.
"I know we can reach the Perfect Family Harmony."
Tumblr media
"What if we don't want to."
Tumblr media
John Dory, blind to how and WHY his brothers didn't want to follow his lead, felt betrayed.
To him, all he's ever done was to ensure their safety, everything was for the greater good. He'd done everything he could, his goals slowly twisting him into a crazed obsession. To hear his brothers say they didn't want to help anymore might've struck a cord too much. If you'd noticed he actually looked really sad and hurt when they started bringing up how much they hated being in the band, but it slowly twisted to anger instead. Kind of in a like, "I tried doing everything for these shts and THIS is how they repay me???" way. He was so stressed and stuck in his own head with his failures that he just couldn't see what his brothers were trying to say.
So in a fit of impulsive rage, he left. To him it probably was like that rlly childish way of saying "Yea im leaving, good luck dealing with the Bergens while im goneee." You know? Like how kids runaway from home when they get angry or upset over every little thing but come back when they realize how stupid that was?
"Im not allowed to change."
And he DID come back. Who knows how long, but he did. Imagine how he must've felt seeing their empty pod in an empty tree, with the knowledge that he could've done something about it. The Perfect Family Harmony could've saved them. They could've used it to break the cage, to fight the Bergens. Hell, it could've been powerful enough to wipe out all the Bergens if they do so wished.
"Im the oldest, I have to be the leader."
He and his brothers were the only ones who'd ever gotten close to getting it right.
"Why do you think I moved into the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone."
The village was counting on them. Counting on him. He let them down. He failed.
"Freeing the village Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility."
They could've gotten it. If only John did it right. If only John did it differently.
If only John Dory was Perfect

Hug Time? Male Reader x John Dory
A/N: First time writing angst. Yay.
Throughout the saving Floyd mission, you've noticed John Dory always tried to hug his siblings and you, but neither you nor his brothers hugged him. It seems you and his brothers are still uncomfortable. After a few months have passed since that day and you've grown accustomed to being touchy with John Dory but his brothers still need a bit of time, which was understandable, yet John Dory felt...distanced from his brothers, no matter how hard or how much he tried they never seem to get around and be comfortable with him. He thinks that maybe he'll never convince them but you always assure him that he can and it'll take time. John Dory felt assured but the feeling still lingered inside of him. One day, you were going out to buy some groceries, Bruce also came to visit at this time, John Dory, Poppy, Branch, Viva and the rest of the Brozone brothers were all talking inside the bunker, talking about anything really. Then the hug time bracelets went off and everyone started to hug each other, except for John Dory, whenever he would try to hug one of his brothers someone hugged them first, and he didn't want to just hug them still since he knew that they may not be so comfortable still. Now everyone has hugged someone.
John Dory was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he felt like crying, he was slightly trembling, thinking to himself "No John Dory, don't do it. Don't ruin the mood" He stands up and leaves without anyone noticing, he then goes to his shared room with you, locks the door and just quietly cries in bed. He had you and he was grateful but he still wanted at least one of his brothers to hug him or show the same affection he was giving them. He knew that he brought this upon himself but, it still hurts, to know your brothers still don't feel comfortable enough with you. Time passes by and Poppy notices John Dory is gone, and she gets a little concerned "Wait, did anyone hug John Dory?" She says. The brothers and Viva look at each other and shrug. All of them then went to your bedroom with John Dory room knocking on his door to no response.
You finally got back home with groceries, putting them on the table, you see a small commotion outside your room. "What's going on?" You ask, concerned and curious. "Well we're not sure. I think no one hugged John Dory during hug time, and we're trying to let him let us inside his room to maybe help him feel better" Poppy says before continuing "But he's not opening the door" You sigh, a frown on your face, visibly worried about how John Dory's feeling "Let me handle this" You say knocking on the door saying "John? Can you let me in? It's me, Y/N" The door then opens and you enter it, and close it, while the rest of the group goes back to the living room.
It was now just you and John Dory. He guys you, still quietly sobbing, as you take him to bed, sitting beside him "How are you feeling?" You ask, your voice is soft, stroking his hair, as you take off his goggles that cover his tear filled eyes, John Dory then just let's it all out on you, as you comfort him "It's fine, just let it all out" after a while of crying John Dory stops, it's been a while since he's ever actually cried so this was new, John Dory felt good letting it all out, as you both continue to hug "I just feel that maybe they still don't love me like a big brother. Maybe they'll never love me like a big brother, maybe I'll never get them to be comfortable with me. I-I" You sush him "Nonesense" John Dory then removes your hand and says "No! It's not nonesense! They still can't bring themselves to hug me, and every time it's just me and one of my brothers alone it's always awkward!" He yells, the walls were thankfully thick enough to make it soundproof which you're glad "I don't know what I can do to make them like me anymore. It seems no matter how hard I try, they still have resentment over me, no matter how hard they try to hide it, and maybe I deserve it. I-I just wish I can get them to at least not be awkward with me anymore, to be comfortable with me" He continues, his voice is breaking, he isn't yelling anymore, tears rolling down his cheek, he stopped hugging you, as he just puts his hands on the bed.
You always saw John Dory as being a bit too confident but now, it seems like this whole new side of him is new to you, he was being vulnerable with you, and he was letting himself cry, he's letting himself be all sad around you. You have a frown on your face, concerned for John Dory's mental health, you sigh and say "Look....sure it's true, you may have deserved this kind of treatment from your brothers but I assure you they still love you. It just takes time to get used to being around the person who was the reason you ran away from home, the person trying to force them to be perfect, so please John, don't give up and don't think that just because they haven't gotten comfortable with you doesn't mean they won't ever will" You kiss John Dory, in hopes it'll make him feel a bit better, John Dory kisses you back, and after pulling away, he smiles and wipes his tears "You're right, maybe they'll come around some day." He says "That's the spirit! Now let's go back to the living room." You exclaim.
Once you two are back in the living room, the Brozone brothers, Poppy and Viva, all hug John Dory, he's quite shocked by this, then Bruce starts to talk "We're sorry for not hugging you John. We know we may have been a bit resentful towards you at times but we want to assure you that we do still love you" Branch continues by saying "Yeah, we've seen your efforts in trying to make us be comfortable around you and we have been too harsh on you" All the brothers, Poppy and Viva then nod in agreement of Bruce and Branch's statement, John Dory starts to cry tears of joy "I love you guys. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that." He says. You watch this unfold with a smile on your face, appreciating the heartfelt moment. The day continues on as Bruce decides to cook you all dinner, you all eat together and The brothers now seem to be more comfortable around John Dory. Sharing laughs, sharing embarrassing stories about each other during the Brozone days (Mostly from John Dory). Yes this is truly the start of a new beginning among the brothers.

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, I WROTE A JOHN DORY ANGST FIC
Listen. I'm insane
You Don't Know What You Have, Until It's Gone
Summary: John Dory returns to the troll tree, ready to greet his brothers with open arms, but instead finds himself alone in a desolate place full of memories. He can't help but feel something's off.
[AO3 Version]
"No no no NO NO COME ON!"
John Dory flipped over the dining room table, hastily filing through cabinets and sifting through old boxes. He was looking for a sign, a clue, ANYTHING. It had only been a few months. Okay, a few years but surely at least one of them had stayed behind to take care of the two, right? Or did they leave it up to their 'big bro' to be chained to the nest, never allowed to open his wings and fly.
The mere thought sent JD into a furious state that pooled in his hands and left a hole in the wall. This wasn't fair. This wasn't RIGHT. Everything about this situation made him feel sick.
He had returned fully expecting the troll tree to still be alive and well. Sure, nobody would be as bright as normal- Trollstice always left the village in a state of gloom for a week or two- but instead of bright cheery trolls who forced a smile through the horrors they witness every year, he found... a ghost town. It was like walking straight into a nightmare. The ground below had been upturnt violently, holes left in the wake of whatever desperate attempt the bergens had made to capture every last troll they could. Various pods lay on the ground, walls caved and furniture destroyed, every critter that would normally fill the area with life was nowhere to be seen, and it was... terribly quiet. Like whatever happened here killed the life of everything around it. The color had been sucked out of this place and it left a sour taste in JD's mouth and a sense of dread in his chest.
What happened?
Where was everyone?
Finding his way to his room, he caved for a moment, letting out a heavy sigh and leaning his head into the mattress of the top bunk. This was Clay's bed. He had always insisted on JD being his bunk buddy. He chalked it up to "keeping the bed from toppling over in case the pod swings," but JD knew Clay had a soft spot for him. Back then they were the pranksters of the house, leaving hilarious but cruel jokes for their fellow siblings to burden. It would always be quiet giggling into full blown laughter as some poor soul would come across what they had set up, and then the sign to book it out of there: "GRANDMA!"
Grandma...
With some intense resolve, he hauled himself back up and continued his search. There was no point taking comfort in memories long gone and there had to be something- for as cruel as the bergens are they're too stupid to successfully capture an entire village of trolls.
...
Right?
No, right. The bergens are idiots they couldn't be that smart. But then... where was everybody? Why was the ground so carelessly upturnt? Why hadn't anything in the entire village responded to his call? That sickening churning came back as his mind wandered further to answer his incessant questions, and he quickly picked up his pace. John wasn't stupid, just headstrong.
As he continued his search he found yet another memorabilia, one of Spruce's weights. When Spruce was around twelve, he became a bit obsessed with being strong. Finding it cute, John leaned into it, acting like his coach. Spruce had been ecstatic to have someone help him become "strong like the guys in the comic books!" but over time he lost his interest in the goal. After that, though, it had become a part of their brand, and Spruce had always made it a habit to eat healthy and work out- although he didn't really... enjoy.. it. No, let's be honest here, it was never Spruce's habit- it was the one John gave him. It was for the good of the band, sure, but he really did push Spruce to his limits hadn't he... maybe if he hadn't been so tough on them...
He placed the weight down and quickly left the room. He wasn't having that conversation with himself He turnt into Floyd and B's room, cringing at the sight of disarray it was in. B's crib was toppled over, his toys scattered across the ground, flowers that once bloomed here were wilted and shriveled, and a blanket meant for Floyd's bed laid draped over his vanity. Something about this room made JD... pause. It was almost somber to see it so empty, as if his brothers had just been... plucked out of a scene and everything had been left to rot. That idea sent a chill through his spine, and he promptly willed himself to forget it.
Instead he grabbed the blanket from the vanity, and admired it softly. It made him recall a memory of Floyd when they were younger. He had heard about blanket forts from some kids in his class, and insisted JD would help make him one since he was 'the oldest which meant he was the smartest.' They used some chairs and blankets to set up the roof, and pillows for the ground and sides. John had to squeeze himself small to fit inside, but it was rather cozy, and he ended up falling asleep with Floyd in their little makeshift fort.
...He missed when Floyd used to look up to him like that. Like someone he was proud of.
Instead, he looked ashamed of him the day they broke up. He'd never admit it out loud, but it hurt to leave his brothers behind. He had always meant to come back sooner but... things got away from him. It was too much. He gently placed the blanket on Floyd's old bed, smoothing out the wrinkles, then made his way to the toys. He came here with high hopes and a confident air about himself, but now he couldn't help feeling... upset, defeated. This place had brought up too many old memories for him, too many reminders of what he and his brothers used to have, and it was quickly breaking him down.
After putting all the scattered toys back, he moved to tip B's crib back into place. Looking down into the soft bedding, he didn't remember when he used to sleep here, but he was always the one tending to the rest of his brothers when they did. JD certainly wasn't a guy who enjoyed taking care of babies; they were loud, obnoxious, disgusting little molds of nature- but each one was his brother, and that was a kind of love that trumps any amount of negative qualities one can have. When Branch was born, he was getting awfully tired of the care routine but Floyd had taken quite well to caring for B, and JD was glad to finally have a break. Though, on quiet nights when B would wake up in a fit sometimes... JD would find himself caring for that little mess of blue, all swaddled in his blankets. With a bottle in one hand, and Branch in the other, he'd sit in the kitchen listening to the crickets outside and humming a lullaby for Bitty B.
It was just B and him.
And life was good.
He could feel his knees growing weak, his eyes burning. The reality he was trying to ignore was settling into place with this final memory, and he fell to the ground with a choked sob, pressing his head against the bars of the crib. Branch and Grandma were almost certainly gone. No house is left this destroyed without cause, and they likely weren't outliers in the bergen's last, greediest attack. If his brothers did stay after he left, they were dead too. The bergens had taken his entire family. They had taken his baby brother. And he wasn't there to save them. Any of them. He wasn't there to do the one thing all big brothers are supposed to do.
Protect their family.
And now he could never take any of it back.
Authors Note: Hope this hurts you all so so bad, we don't get enough JD angst methinks. I mean imagine coming back to you're entire town and finding it COMPLETELY EMPTY. No friends. No family. Just you and the sound of howling wind. That's going to fuck you up BAD.

Sketch but not really sketch
Anyways the 3) is hmm turning grey btw. But yeah I'm drawing JD remembering what happened to her. I feel like I'ma do more of these "comic" stuff but I'm loving this amnesia au of JD. Might add some headcannons as well after but this is the final look cause I'm lazy. Also I made Rosie puff look like an ice-cream cause I feel like pop trolls would make them look like candy or anything sweet 🧁. But yeah hope you like it!

My favorite thing is how lowkey uncomfortable Branch's brothers look when they find out Branch highkey replaced them with a new band/found family after they left LOLOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
