Just curious…
Why people assume there is an NDAs between L’s friend group?
Where you get the base of that information? Or is it just some fan theory?
Combo of all the PR professionals and celebrity research we've had in the fandom, and the way they've conducted themselves then went radio silent. C also gave us a clue with the TT she reposted on celebrity NDAs.
If you type in adjacents or papgate on my timeline, you'll see more; you'll also see reasons why L & N's reputations could have been at stake/ why discretion was important.
A little story: my cousin's stepdaughter was married to a Green Bay Packers football player. He was M E S S Y, cheated on her & had children by several different women. At the peak of his career, they didn't want these women coming out of the woodworks, affecting his professional accomplishments - thus, NDAs. Now L & N didn't do anything close to that, but the point is: perception matters.
A few more notes:
• After papgate, it's almost certain that Shondaland and/ or his PR team intervened to do damage control, as the JF show was suddenly added for him. Atp it's likely they had to consider legal action, lest it affect years of hard work for the S3 production & cast.
• The Brazil & NY premiere pics that came out after the 1st 90 days gave rise to the suspicion that NDAs had concealed that content
• The friend group gave out L's location in real time and he was tracked down by fans; his PR team would likely insist NDAs be put in place for his safety alone.
NDAs are a not so secret secret across the entertainment industry!

Hold onto your Stetson, @ohposhers; have I got some personal HickDory lore for you 😎💜🌟🫧
Excuse the insanity for those who don't feel compelled towards these two
SO!
Hickory and JD met a few good years before the events of the World Tour when Dory was traveling to find Lonesome Flats, got heatstroke and passed out in the desert. Wakes up to Hickory shadowed in the flickering light of a campfire beneath a canopy of the brightest stars he'd seen since the Neverglades, but it wouldn't be until QUITE a few months later until they really started developing crushes against each other. (Cowboy under the stars, you'd think he'd fall right then and there, right? 🌟)
Why was Hickory already in Lonesome Flats, you might ask? Where was Dickory?
In a glue trap, I say in response. Hickory came from Yodelsberg (is there a canonical name for this?) for international study and to learn about new music. He fell in love with country because yodeling and country music are actually quite gorgeous together. She Taught Me to Yodel, anyone?
Delta Dawn obviously didn't take to Dory showing up and around the town, but after some convincing by Hickory and lots of proving himself (plus a vulture attack that resulted in John Dory saving the very young niece of Delta Dawn- Clampers-) he 'earned' a place there and began to work around town.
It was weird for him.
He'd never quite settled down, until then.
(Now, the specific timeline, yearly I mean is a little muddled because I'm still crafting this, but I'll put them out about three years, now.)
John Dory was still living in Lonesome Flats, and he'd started a relationship with Hickory. They loved each other, as my cohort in crime @protagonist-art (CHECK OUT THEIR ART I LOVE THEM SM MUAH) has Hickory tell John when we get write them, "More than the moon loves the ocean." As surely as the tide pulls in and out, so the lovers return to each other.
So Via, what does Hickory think about BroZone?
Oh, my sweet star.
He doesn't know.
After returning to the devastated Troll Tree, John Dory lost a piece of his heart in the damaged pod they used to live in. It was the first time he went grey, and the memories of his brothers started shifting from what was, to what would never be again. He couldn't find it within himself to talk about them, and has his secrets.
But so does Hickory.
Girl wdym stop being so mysterious.
Heh. I know. It's just a glimpse into my dark mind /ref. Anyways, Hickory never told John Dory he was a Yodeler troll. (Another piece of lore that Quizzy and I worked on together and I think it's brilliant.)
Huh? Aren't they in a long-term relationship? Won't this cause issues later on if they don't share these things with each other?
Oh, they love every aspect of each other too much for their bond to truly be broken.
And yet.
One morning, years after just living and loving, John Dory wakes up with a massive headache and nausea.
"Maybe it's that horse that kicked me yesterday, could've gotten me harder than we both thought."
"Lemme check for a knot, Darlin'."
No knots, but there was an egg.
🌟 (Here I'll say that I'm massively in love with the headcanon that trolls conceive through true love- it isn't quite necessary for them to physically do anything unless they want to. Just them, wholeheartedly trusting and putting everything into their relationship and pouring their heart out to their partner.)
They were absolutely ECSTATIC, and rightfully terrified in their own ways. Neither of them were looking for children but not against it, and after resting for a few days they began to plan. A nursery in the house, baby books with millions of names scattered on the coffee table, toys and cute little baby clothes for when the little one hatched.
Wanna know two of the names John Dory had in mind? Rhonda and Dolly.
They were ecstatic until the night John Dory woke up absolutely ill and with a pit in his stomach.
They lost the egg, and it was the second time John Dory went grey in his life.
A week after this had happened, John Dory left a bundled lock of his hair at Hickory's nightstand and did what he knows how to do all too well. He ran.
Hickory never went too far out of Lonesome Flats in the hopes that John Dory would come back. He couldn't imagine what would happen if his love came back and didn't find him there.
The events of World Tour come about, Hickory meets Branch, and travels for the first time since John Dory left.
John Dory continued to travel, until the events of Band Together.
But don't worry, dear readers, for as surely as the tides come in, so will the lovers meet again. 🌟
Aaaand BOOM! That's it! 💜 I've got lore behind the names Rhonda and Dolly as well, and am SO down to answer any questions about them that anyone has. For you, Posh, thank you for asking and helping me to share a story I've been working on, and for everyone else that read this, thank you kindly! I hope that everyone who made it this far has quite a lovely day, or if you didn't, have a lovely day anyways!
Remember to take your meds, drink water, eat something, and stretch!
💜🌟🫧

“The Brazil & NY premiere pics that came out after the 1st 90 days gave rise to the suspicion that NDAs had concealed that content”
Which ones please? For clarification, the dinner dates?
For Brazil: L & N dinner dates, and pool pictures @ the hotel.
For NY premiere: After Party pics/ videos of L appearing jealous, L ignoring A, L & N holding hands, A being w/ L's sis and seemingly not on the guest list, etc.
@newghlan put together a fantastic compilation of both (links below). It was really quite jarring when all of these came out, as rumors were confirmed, in particular about L & N spending private time in Brazil and about A not being welcome at the NY premiere...
