Alright, I'm about to have a Trolls moment. Please ignore me if you will.

So I'm starting to have a meltdown over Branch's brothers' understanding of who he is as a person.

Like, they were fully absent during his entire childhood and young adulthood, of course. And we all keep making jokes about how they didn't tease him enough about his relationship because, duh, that's what brothers do. But what I have yet to see discussed is his confidence as an individual, how he interacts with the audience as a band member, and how his brothers are simply not interacting with a person they've ever met before.

Like, there's the whole "boy band members are so suave so as to properly appeal to their audience" thing, and Branch, post-World Tour, has gained a lot of confidence. Yes, most of his audience interaction is aimed at the band's biggest fan, his own girlfriend, but he does so very smoothly. The level of confidence that Branch has gained since the first movie is immense and it's actually so heartwarming to watch the two movies back-to-back to see, but beyond that, his interactions with Poppy, as her boyfriend and also as a band member, are very confident, flirtatious, and charming. He's playing up the persona when he's on stage of course, but they also flirt a lot on their own as seen in this movie. And while yes, his brothers being his brothers would probably off-screen tease him about flirting with his girlfriend, they also have no idea how he is as a band member. Because the last time they were in a band together, Branch was IN DIAPERS. Spruce was the Heartthrob, the flirt, the tease, and Branch was a BABY. But now Bruce is married, he's checked out of that life. And even if it's all directed at Poppy because Branch is a very loyal boy (clearly), he still has never exhibited those specific behaviors in front of his brothers. It's funny and easy to make fun of when it's with his girlfriend, but when he does it as a band member? Then it's a persona. And he's absolutely killing the game.

The boys have never met this suave, confident adult. They've never seen Band Member Branch with his own personality, with character traits, with the ability to make decisions for himself in any form. So his new band persona is, apparently, to some extent, the flirt. And his brothers must be reeling from that, because WHO is this guy??

I don't have a point. My point is just the idea that once upon a time, when Branch was in the band originally, he was just Some Kid™. And now he's not just some kid, he is A Boy Band Member™. And kind of the new leader, to boot. Beyond that, to Poppy, he was just Some Depressed Guy™ for so long. And once again, look at him now. The character development combined with character perception is just so absolutely fascinating to me and the lack of time to elaborate on it is very much the reason why fanfiction exists.

I don't know, man. Big Trolls fan over here. I love Branch so much.

okay hold on shut up everyone shut up i have something to say

so it should be no news that i think the ending is bullshit. i think it's cheap as fuck that the solution to the resolution of fate is that lloyd came back in a different body and therefore the world had no problem with him coming back despite being previously hellbent on not allowing him to remain in it because of his status as a protagonist. like. i think that makes little to no sense and i think it's stupid. what do you mean fate is faceblind. that's the same fucking guy it's been trying to kill for almost five years now just because he now looks korean doesn't change that he's the one that disrupted the flow of the plot so hard he turned into an unauthorized main character. i think it's cheap and stupid and not that good of an explanation.

HOWEVER

i was just thinking about how it kinda sucked that the way the ending is structured means that javier was never really freed from the narrative. like yes his tragic fate changed and he's no longer beholden to the original plot of tkobai but he's still very much the protagonist. lloyd dying didn't free him from that role, it just meant that javier was now the only main character in the world and so fate was no longer gunning for him or his loved ones. but then i went and reread the way the jewel of truth described what would happen once one of them died and let the other as the sole protagonist.

[Once one of you disappears, the world will finally choose the remaining person as the rightful protagonist and perceive there to be no more error to fix. That is only when the incomplete reset plan to carry put the restoration of destiny will come to a halt and the story will develop around the existing hero.] -Ch 328: You or Me (3)

that last bit. the story will develop around the existing hero. once one of them disappeared fate would give up with the original story and just make a new one around the one protagonist that remained. which by the end of tged is javier.

javier. javier whose main priority at some point shifted towards keeping lloyd safe. whose main goal became keeping lloyd alive at almost any cost. this javier:

There was no more sign of life from the mischievous smile on the face of his lord. The young master he had sworn to serve breathed his last as his head dropped. He had died. "... No way." This wasn't supposed to happen. Javier was in disbelief. He refused to believe what he saw. This was not the ending he had desired. -Ch 398: Last Resort (3)

I never, ever thought once about life without Master Lloyd, not even right now. -Ch 400: Farewell (2)

this javier is the one the story is meant to develop around now that he's the only protagonist in the world. this javier is the one the plot is meant to be built around.

do you understand where i'm getting at

i think that it was javier's status as protagonist that allowed lloyd to come back without getting backlash from fate anymore. i think javier's resolve to keep lloyd safe, to have a life at his side, was what allowed destiny to accept lloyd back into a world that had rejected him before. i think that when the story tried to develop around javier "i never thought of a life without lloyd" asrahan it couldn't do it in a way that didn't include lloyd in it and so lloyd was allowed to come back without fate retaliating against him.

javier was the one that accidentally brought lloyd into his world, he was the one that purposefully brought him back to it and he was the one that unconsciously allowed him to remain in it. he's literally the reason that lloyd is there at all in any capacity.

do you get what i'm saying. i feel like i'm going crazy.

Listen guys i hate how Misako and Lloyd’s series relationship was portrayed. Like instead of using her reason (yes, it was a bad one. An understandable worry that led to bad decisions, actions, and mistakes.) as a way to develop her character as a person who portrays the struggles of single mother/mother hood, they literally just threw it in there, had a huge dramatic fight scene, and said ‘and now Lloyd and Misako are best mum and son duo :D’

So i give you a trope to use in AU’s to develop this situation, storyline, and characters.

Misako had sent letters over the years as Lloyd was put in Darkley’s, detailing her adventures, the people she cares about, her care for Lloyd, Garmadon and his uncle Wu. Letters filled with love and appreciation and overwhelming worry and support.

Over the years she accepted that Lloyd would never write back to her, assuming he was rightfully mad at abandoning him.

Little did she know, a person will only ever reciprocate an action if they are even aware of it happening.

Darkley’s school for bad boys was designed to groom young boys into horrifying villains of the future, and the school did not need a mothers ‘love’ to get in way of their students, and therefore their schools, success.

A pile of letters is always shredded at the end of every month, and neither son nor mother are aware of the words ‘To: Lloyd, the light of my life.’ Being ripped to pieces.

i had an idea for a visual novel but the thing is it's not like a regular dating sim, instead of you trying to get with a character as the player you're trying to get two characters together

oh yeah and it is a rammstein one how did you guess

[jelly-tyson]

there is a fine distinction between ‘i have never done this before therefore i need help’ and ‘i have never done this before therefore i need you to tell me what you expect and when you expect it so that i can do it myself and you can trust me to ask for help if needed otherwise i will grow and demonstrate confidence and meet your expectations’ and i am learning that my manager does not comprehend this distinction

Everyone loves to tell me about their buddy who makes 6 figures working as a developer for Adobe or whatever who never had a day of college in their life. But nobody loves to tell me about jobs they know of that are hiring less experienced software developers without degrees. Odd 🤔

Friendly reminder that Cecil "I need everyone to like me unless I dislike you first" Gershwin "Denny everything until you don't belive it yourself" Palmer sticking up through his beliefs and defending and suporting both the neutrality of science and Carlos even as the town started to activally hate him for it and send him hate mails is the biggest love declaration he ever did (more than any of the on air declarations including his wedding vows!!!).
