THE RAPHIE

[sandflakedraws]

You made the unexpected turn into Trolls and i decided it looked interested and followed you! Still haven’t actually watched anything, just kinda immersed myself in the fandom.

the trolls world is just ripe for nonsensical world building, amvs (we callin them fancams now? i'm not sure), and lore mechanics... and then shockingly, trauma dives.

like! because of the kind of media it's in, there are some horrific and tragic implications that are only glanced at, simply left untethered. there's not enough time to cover 2 decades of trauma in an hour thirty minutes for little timmy. But I Have The Time. I will sit with those implications.

and then!!

they get to have their cake and eat it too because of that very same media.

of course they're going to be dancing and singing with the people who only seconds ago tried to eat them! that's just what you do!

of course they're going to tell the people torturing them to death that they deserve to be treated with kindness! everybody does!

the picture it paints for me is of these like. incredibly anxious little trolls, with a whole culture around an almost toxic kind of positivity with very big troubles, and even bigger hearts. and that's like. joey kryptonite. they almost got me back in the first film, but i was mostly satisfied with the character arcs. so i didn't feel the need to break out the fandom playdough.

and then the third one came in with a steel chair like 'hey what if branch was just one part of an entire tragic family. what if they ALL had decades of trauma because of a bad decision they made as teenagers, which permanently skewed the trajectory of their lives. what if they needed some space to define themselves outside of their Band Titles (and by proxy their role in the family) and were then punished for that decision by the narrative, denying them the chance to reunite again. what if a promise sat forcefully broken for just as long and yet the bond didn't disintegrate. what if the love was still there.'

and i never stood a chance

Something something every author is a part of their work? Margin of Error is my love letter to life and writing. I spent too long focusing on academic writing that I forgot how much joy I feel when spinning a story. Putting my experiences into MOE is like taking a moment remember that I lived it and that it was a good memory. Jimmy and Tango are very real pieces of me, and hopefully (If I've done it right), pieces of you all too.

Well, Hazel's coming back from Unova today! She told me I didn't have to pick her up from the Jubilife airport as she had "her own means" of getting here and will be dropping off at the Ranch soon. I'll let y'all know once she's here, I'm very excited about it!

if clay is third-wheeling for everyone i wouldn’t mind taking them out instead teehee:3

Clay raises an eyebrow, somewhat skeptical of the stranger. They didn't seem too opposed to the idea, however.

"Uh... I mean, can't be too bad, can it?" they mumble, shoving their hands into their pockets. "'S long as you're not a dick, o' course."

Just don't think about roping them into 'any of that sex stuff'. It's not their thing. Also prepare your ears for incredibly loud punk music that they WILL introduce to you (knowing you, you'd absolutely love their band).
