Branch turned without thinking, pausing mid-step. His grip faltered. The box slipped from his hands—safely resting against the grass—but he barely noticed. His pulse was already up, his senses alive with something raw and vulnerable.

He saw Poppy, her gaze on the other troll, smiling as she sang. The sunset glowed through her rosy locks, casting a shimmer halo of gold. The way her eyes sparkled, her smile lighting up her features—the pure happiness—it made something in him break and reform in a matter of breaths.

He fell a little more in love in that moment—not just with her, but with everything that made Poppy Poppy. The magic in her voice. The warmth in her heart. The light that seemed to follow her wherever she went.

A drawing I made based off this scene in chapter four of my AU. Wanted to capture Poppy through Branch’s eyes in that moment. You think I captured it well?

The chapter goes up in a couple of weeks.

@kodalily is my Trolls account I haven’t logged back into

Branch’s design for my AU. Haven’t drawn Trolls since January so I’m out of practice. Just wanted to share this because I’ll be adding these drawings to chapter two so readers can see how they look. @kodalily

The story behind his outfit is that Branch commissioned a Rock troll to make it. Branch goes on missions often enough and he wanted clothes that were durable.

Posting this here because I can’t be bothered to login to my Trolls account @kodalily but this is the finalized outfits for Poppy for my AU ‘Bondfire’ I’ll be doing Branch next. For anyone who views my story, please head the tags. I will not explain myself further than that.

Also I’m posting this here so I can add it to my story so the readers can visualize Poppy as far as my AU design of her(posting pictures requires a link)

I will be posting Branch here next. Not my Trolls account. I don’t think I remember the login anyway

Zach redesign and lore drop of my OC below. For my Danny Phantom AU ‘Ghostlines’ I’m writing.

Lore drop below:

⚡ ZACH’S LORE OVERVIEW

👻 Ghost Name: Specterflare

Species: 1/4 ghost

🔥 Theme: Volatile energy, restraint vs. chaos, emotional combustion

🧬 ORIGIN

Human Life:

Zach was once a rebellious but brilliant teen from a broken household. His life was shaped by emotional neglect, forcing him to rely on his intellect and instincts. He was fascinated by anomalies and ghost-related rumors, eventually conducting risky experiments of his own.

Accident and Death:

During one such experiment—meant to replicate portal energy—Zach died in a volatile explosion of unstable ectoplasm and spectral interference. The blast didn’t just kill him—it transformed him, creating a hybrid-style ghost who retains stronger-than-average ties to the physical world.

Post-Death Mutation:

His ghost form, Specterflare, is infused with an unstable but potent form of energy that mimics fire in appearance—burning gold and burgundy—but behaves more like a mix of light, kinetic force, and controlled chaos. His powers are tied to emotional regulation: the more unstable he feels, the harder his powers are to control.

🔥 GHOST POWERS

Flareburst Projection

Releases concentrated, burst-style blasts of yellow-burgundy energy. Can explode mid-air or on contact.

Visually flickers like fire, but it's energy-based, not elemental.

Thermal Distortion Cloak

Creates a heatwave-like shimmer around him to distort his image, rendering him harder to track visually.

Combustive Dash / Warp

Teleport-like movement that leaves behind streaks of flaring energy. Can chain short bursts together.

Energy Consumption

Can absorb energy-based attacks (ecto-blasts, tech surges) to supercharge his powers temporarily.

Ghost Sense (Modified)

Detects intense emotions in others—especially fear, guilt, or longing—through aura resonance.

Spectral Pulse

An area-of-effect concussive blast that flares from his body when overwhelmed.

Emotion-Linked Power Surge

His power output and control are deeply tied to his emotional state. High tension or intimacy amplifies his abilities but reduces precision.

👤 PERSONALITY

Protective – Fiercely loyal and protective of those he cares about, especially Danny.

Sarcastic but Deep – Uses sarcasm and teasing to mask emotional vulnerability.

Emotionally Aware – Despite his power-linked emotional volatility, Zach is highly attuned to the feelings of others.

Cautiously Affectionate – Gives affection in meaningful, intentional moments—especially with Danny.

Independent – Hates being micromanaged or underestimated, often prefers handling things alone before asking for help.

Recklessly Brave – Will put himself in danger to protect others, even to his own detriment.

⚙️ QUIRKS

Fiddles with tech or ghost gear when anxious.

Has a habit of muttering sarcastic comebacks under his breath even in tense situations.

Collects small human mementos from the real world (headphones, guitar picks, pieces of clothing).

Tends to glow faintly when aroused, frustrated, or emotionally charged—especially visible at his fingertips or around his eyes.

Extremely tactile with Danny, always reaching out when they’re alone—even just brushing hands or touching his hair.

⚠️ FLAWS

Emotionally Volatile – His powers spike with intense emotion, making him both dangerous and vulnerable in moments of weakness or stress.

Guilt Complex – He carries guilt over his death, his transformation, and the way his existence affects Danny’s already fragile stability.

Fear of Abandonment – Believes, deep down, that he’s a temporary fixture in Danny’s life despite their growing connection.

Reckless Under Pressure – Pushes himself past his limits when someone he loves is in danger, often ignoring consequences.

Struggles with Normalcy – Doesn’t always know how to function in a safe or emotionally open environment, defaults to teasing or isolation.

Unfinished WIP

My art growth from my first drawing of Amy to my most recent one (second drawing) of her. Does it count as art growth if I've only drawn her twice? 🤔
