#Barbed Hook

[lulu101]

I’ve had multiple JD AUs in mind but the one I’m most fixated on writing rn is:

- “Hook”

Some info in this AU, trolls can reproduce an egg by asexual reproduction or two trolls have strong feelings for each other that it can manifest through an egg

Another thing to add, the trolls had managed to escape from Bergen Town before Brozone split up, and the Family Harmony was meant to be their first concert in the new Troll village as a way to celebrate

What changes is that once their Grandma’s taken by the Chef and Branch turns grey, King Peppy decides they need to relocate once again, which none of the brother were aware of (I’ll get in detail with Viva and Clay’s situation later)

While exploring the Neverglade Forest and having an egg, he also finds baby Rhonda

The egg reminds him of his brothers, especially Bitty B, and wanting his egg to grow up with his family, he decides to head back

Something goes wrong though and while severely injured, stumbles near the Rock Trolls, where King Thrash and toddler Barb were on a stroll of sorts

Despite clearly being a pop troll, King Thrash does wish to see egg orphaned so he does his best to save JD

Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe and the doctors note that him being able to get close to the Rock Volcano from the Neverglades was a miracle

The egg does hatch and JD gets to hold him before his death but isn’t able to slip out the name he wanted for him (Branch actually knows as JD had once told him as a baby what he would name his children if he had any but his memory won’t be jogged until the end of the fic)

Barb is the one who names him, which is Hook

Hook is then raised by the Rock Trolls, who don’t treat him any differently as he was basically one of them

Rhonda is raised by them as well, her being Hook’s and Barb’s “secret” hideout

Hook helps Barb in World Tour and meets Poppy when she’s captured, who is shocked to meet him as he’s nearly identical to JD from Brozone

He briefly explains that he had been raised by the Rock Trolls, he has no loyalty to the Pop Trolls and is doing it because he feels it’s the least he can do for Barb

Branch doesn’t meet him until after the strings are ripped and every genre gets their color back

Think of it like the scene from Secret of the Wings where Tinker Bell meets Periwinkle, with Branch seeing a familiar silhouette and calling out “John Dory?”

King Thrash has a strong reaction to that name (he had forgotten his name, only knowing he was named after a fish), which prompts Barb and Hook to turn around, Branch going through a mix of emotions at seeing someone who looks identical to JD standing right before him

Cue Branch starting to tear up and growling in frustration/hurt when Hook gets defensive over King Thrash while asking who John Dory is

I already have ideas for Band Together but I feel like I should save them until I’m done with this first part first (there’s define a lot of angst)

I have the most intense brain rot about my demon boyfriends today 😍

Resident Evil Village is one of the only video games that has actually scared me. Especially the part in Heisenberg’s factory where monsters with saw arms and drill arms chase you around. Frightening!

However, I have to be honest and admit that it is only frightening to me because of my longstanding fear of tetanus.

[galacticdrift]

pleasantly astonished that everyone survived that encounter! and it only involved, oh I don't know, maybe 8 unconsciousness incidents? it felt like at least 8. and like three of them were mine.

BUT WE FUCKING GOT OUT. and even met up with the barb's missing sister that we set out to find! mission accomplished!

...now we just have to figure out how to get everyone back to the material plane.

the loggerhead shrike is so cool

When the hardcore RP DM asks if you can do a one on one session for something your character does secretly and you don’t realize that the RP starts with the session, not when the voice acting starts.

I was played liked a fiddle.

Well played.

Part 1 Part 2

After answering a whole questionnaire to better understand my own character, I know Hook better now.

Here’s what I have about him:

Hook is about to turn 17 years old

The only memory he has of John Dory is as he would describe it : “I remember being held by a warm embrace… he was telling me something… but I can’t remember what it was. Pops thinks it must’ve been him telling me he loves me but it doesn’t feel right…”

Hook is big on family, which is why he despises Barb’s siblings for abandoning them, and why despite feeling hesitant about carrying through with Barb’s plan, he stands by her side- This is what helps solidify his relationship with Branch, and why it crushes him later when he finds out his own biological father walked out on his siblings

He prefers punk rock

Due to the Rock trolls’ harsh environment, he released Rhonda back to the wilderness when he was a toddler but they meet up monthly at the border, usually accompanied by an adult or Barb

He unknowingly inherited the ability to get along with critters by JD

He has arthritis, partly because he was born prematurely (his egg cracked in the accident) that caused health conditions and partly because he inherited it from JD

The only friends he has are the ones that tend to hang around Barb due to not making an effort to socialize

Despite being raised by Rock trolls, he still shows characteristics of a Pop troll, such as being energetic (from I understand and might recon later, rock trolls are lazy outside of performing/concerts, being more chill) and a preference for glitter

Due to his bright appearance, he tends to stick out from his peers, which makes him self conscious and makes him more prone to stay at the Royal fortress

With King Thrash’s order in effect, the adults at first merely ignored him and warned their kids to stay away

Despite this, other Rock trolls believed he was one of them and didn’t isolate him, sometimes even letting him babysit their kids

However, he still faced veiled insults about his Pop-like characteristics

Once he finds out about John Dory and his ties to Pop trolls, he’ll decide to travel around, dwelling at Pop village when possible

His relationship with Brozone will be a separate post since it’s still in the drafts

[madqueenalanna]

honestly it was so big brained to have will graham be a fisherman cause like everything else about him is so prey-coded; he's the dog rescuer, he has seventeen mental illnesses, his brain is on fire, he's the lamb in the grip of the lion. but he's also the fisherman. he ties his own flies, he goes out into the river, he baits and waits and sinks his hook in, barbs and all. from the beginning he always has power, even when he seems like he's at hannibal's mercy, at jack's, at his own, he still rolls a cast and waits for the bite
