Do you think Hickory has done anything as a bounty hunter that he regrets or feels guilty about other than him lying to poppy.

oh for sure. i feel like there's not really any way to be a bounty hunter without having regrets and guilt about it.

like, even if we took the most generous route and said that, prior to world tour, hickory & dickory exclusively took on bounty jobs where whatever item/person was actively dangerous & malicious and quote "needed" to get got...

what if it took some time to bring them in, and the bounty did more damage during that time. what if they didn't get them the first try. what if failure meant they could go into hiding, biding their time to strike again. what if the bounty learned who was hunting them, and went after the innocent people in their lives as payback. what if hickory & dickory were deceived, and the bounty was simply set up to take the fall for the real culprit. what if capturing them is a fate worse than killing them.

even in the Trolls world, bounty hunting is never going to be a clean job.

sUP i have more doodles,

MAKE WAY FOR UNKY FLOYD.

i picture the reunion between him and john like - jd attempts to keep his composure and save face but the second floyd is crying? it's over. dam's burst.

i am also rather tender over ollie being shy. (like some TBT deleted scenes implied floyd to be. the idea that floyd & oliver's temperaments are similar to one another, for however briefly, has me in a vice.)

and ...

i'm still emo about them,,

(y'all can also have the attempt i made at basic designs for them at this point in the timeline:

u got JD at 25, and floyd & hickory both at 19.)

FLOYD HAS ENTERED THE CROSSED PATHS AU

[sandflakedraws]

hey did u guys know i'm also a johnkory fan - cause i'm also a johnkory fan.

woe, random assortment of crossed paths drawings be upon ye.

(first night after oliver hatches)

then once things get a lil more settled/comfortable in this AU, snuggles might ensue-

-and, witnessing it, the 16 yo Knower™:

... and maybe one more snuggle for the road. (ollie jus like his dads forreal)

also clay's toddler jumpscare

Once again making more aus, this one is met in their 20's JohnKory flavored, I'm calling it Crossed Paths AU Some info:

John realized his mistake and went back to the tree around a year after he left, found it empty, spiraled hard. He didn't go back to the Neverglade Trail and instead wandered the Hinterlands and tried to fill the awful void with short flings and trying to find some new goal in life, but still didn't let anyone close. He became more dull as time went on. It didn't help that he also had a few dud eggs (no baby in them, I need to expand on my egg lore later) during that time. UNTIL he crosses paths with this one bounty hunter.

He thinks the egg will be another dud but then! it forms a pattern, and hair, and is warm, and holy crap he needs to find that hunter guy again. Cue the next couple months scouring the land for Dickory, and does find him like a month before the egg hatches.

Dickory is all in on being around for this kid, and Hickory (who is a teen at this time) is excited to have a nephew, but right now Dickory is letting John bond with the lil guy because he didn't really when it was still an egg because he still had the fear it would somehow end up like the ones before. Poor lil guy is super fussy and upset because his egg wasn't properly bonded with but that gets fixed pretty quick, and John and Dickory shockingly fall into co-parenting super easily and maybe fall for each other along the way. ALSO Because John tells the bounty hunter brothers about what happened to the Pop Trolls, they keep their eyes and ears out for any news on survivors, which leads them to finding out about the small group holding up in an abandoned golf course... So when they head out there and discover Clay was alive, Clay wasn't exactly the warmest upon seeing JD again (despite being actually relived to see him but shush he's not letting JD know that) , then John drops the "I thought you were dead" bomb on him. To which Clay just pauses his rant when he notices how haggard and dull his older brother looks, and just tells him "you look horrible."

THEN. toddler jumpscare

Now to just find everyone else, and maybe find Branch before he completely loses hope that his brothers wont return.

few better feelings than when someone's goin thru my art n leavin comments ://3

Just saw all the Hickory love. So I must also thank you for bringing my future troll-in-law to my attention! So much fluff and angst potential!!!

I've also got this fic idea rolling in my head (spurred on by the dock bros funk outfit). Where each chapter is just Hickory returning to Floyd after a bounty trip, with increasingly more hilarious and weird gifts/side effects. Like one trip he brings back some berries, but they turn Flo into a different species. Or another where Hickory comes back stuck 5x times taller for a few days

IF YOU WRITE THIS I WILL HOOT AND HOLLER AND EXPLODE ABOUT IT!!!

i am out here sTARVIN for flickory fics.

also omg 5x times taller??? hickory's already so much taller than floyd by default, oh my god.

[sandflakedraws]

May we see another mad Hickory?

got another mad hickory (+ bonus haunted)

some sad hickory

some glad hickory too

and some uh. some some

[sandflakedraws]

i wanna get into playing with hickory..... but i'm scared i'll get him wrong oTL

u gotta channel ur inner anton ego. like, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk bad fandom take is probably more meaningful than the criticism designating it so.

Five, I’m all about Hickory, he’s such a deep character.

!!! :D FIVE OF US NOW

[sandflakedraws]

Man, I really appreciate getting like the fanon Hickory/Yodeler lore. I really crave it and like seeing that boy Go Through It, but I feel like there's only like two or three people in the fandom who play in the space. Ya know?

i feel u. least now we got four :]

this guy snuck his way into my favorites, so now hickory gets to enjoy the benefit of being a joey fav (goes through shit. yearns. eyebrows expand. goes through some more shit. temporary character death scare. more yearning. thicker eyebrows. tragic backstory assignment. hangups. insecurities. character strength as character weakness. queerness. whump. more eyebrows.)

Are you ever going to continue “the man with the colorful voice?” Are you active anywhere else on the web? I’d love to follow your art more

So, I might have some good news for you:

"The man with the colorful voice" is fanart I've drawn of a Mob Psycho 100 fanfic that's still slowly being updated, and it's Brilliant.

~400k words are right there, ready for ya.

As for where I'm active on social media, I'm still most active here, but I've taken a sharp turn into the Dreamworks Trolls fandom, so you can do with that what you will.

[sandflakedraws]

genderbend flickory when… id love to see what designs you’d come up with !

can i just say

women

[sandflakedraws]

she's just a bug or some type of creature

[sandflakedraws]

there's nothin i like more than an old piece of art i'm still proud of entering the tumblr orbit again

[sandflakedraws]

Can't stop thinking about ur headcanon that hickory has weak hair and ur art of him shaking while floyd runs his fingers through it it dirves me crazy. The gentleness they treat each other with the way floyd would be so gentle with hickory's hair

Hickory shaking and making little noises with how unaccustomed he is to anyone touching his hair which is only increased by the emotional vulnerability of it all. All while floyd is nothing but sweet and soft to him. Im gonna explode

[the headcanon post]

hasn't quite left my head either apparently...
