Intro to Trolls: We Are Survivors

It's time to reveal what this new Trolls survival series is all about! So here's the storyline:

~ ~ ~

Storyline:

The BroZone Brothers get stranded on an island while going on vacation to the BaTrollmas. The brothers have to survive and get off the island, which it is filled with carnivorous organisms including a vicious lion who has a craving for Trolls. This has the themes of adventure, survival, comedy, family and brotherhood.

Fun Q&A

What inspired you to write this series?

Well, I love adventure survival stories and I've been reading books like "Life of Pi", "Hatchet" and many more stories! I also got inspired by movies, especially the movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Trolls Band Together and even movies that you never might expect like Open Season. Oh! Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005) series is one of the main inspirations I have got for this series!!

Who is involved in the series?

The BroZone brothers (of course) and the main character of this series is John Dory!! I felt like it was time for me to write a story about him! I have also thought about other OC characters to be in this series.

How many books are you planning to write?

Hehehe! My estimate is around 6 to 8 books! I hope with some motivation and thanks to your support from you guys, I'm hoping to reach to that point!

How did you figure out the title for the series?

Well, I was originally going to call it BroZone Survivors, but after writing a certain chapter about John Dory saying "We are Survivors" to his brothers and I was listening to Survivor, so that got me into the title!

Are you going to publish the book in parts or completely?

In parts. Since I love suspense and surprising you guys, so it's going to be send in parts, once a week. And don't worry, I'm going to make sure to complete the story instead of leaving you guys hanging like that when it comes to my stories, which I feel EXTREMELY guilty about. 😅

When are you going to release the trailer!?!

Don't worry, I'm going to release it on YouTube soon, so stay tuned!

~ ~ ~

Okay, that was fun doing this. If you guys have any more questions about this series, feel free to ask! I LOVE questions!

guys i gotta be honest whenever people call the live action avatar “darker “more serious” and “less childish” then the original show i just think of this meme

Listen, I haven't read any of the atla books or comics so I'm making no claim as to knowing what happens in those, but these tags from @bloody-wonder got me thinking about azula redemption and her mommy issues and more importantly her daddy issues. Because wouldn't it be much more interesting to see azula finally come to a reckoning with her dad being an abusive piece of shit? Wouldn't that help her make longer strides towards a true redemption? Are we seriously still going with the idea that Ursa is the only reason or even the majority reason that azula is The Way She Is?

Like. Of course Azula needed to deal with her mommy issues, of course they needed to address those in the comics, but I'm of the opinion that those are much easier addressed than the issues her father would have given her. And maybe the comics do address those issues, again, I make no claim to know what's happened in any of those lmao but Azula realizing her dad is an abusive piece of shit and unlearning all the harmful stuff he taught her has to be a more compelling storyline (and much better redemption storyline at that) than her dealing with tepid mommy issues over and over

the difference between The Painted Lady and Sokka’s Master—what makes one so much more iconic than the other—is that The Painted Lady may as well be Imprisoned (season one), just done-up in Fire Nation attire. we learn nothing new about katara in that ep that we didn’t know from season one. and The Desert in season two CEMENTED katara as the heart of the group in a way that wasn’t even necessary to try to do again in season three.

Sokka’s Master, on the other hand, gives us a whole new look at sokka. Imprisoned and The Warriors of Kyoshi (in season one) are katara and sokka eps respectively, meant to give us a look into their characters and acquaint ourselves with them. season two is incredible because it assumes we already know the characters, and it lets us sit in them and enjoy the ride for amazing arcs through Story, above all else. but early season three brings back the Character episodes. the Headband, Painted Lady, Sokka’s Master, the Runaway (and as a bonus, unlike season one, we also get The Beach for the FN team). each main character gets their own re-establishing ep. great, cool, whatever—what about Sokka’s Master tho?

shhh patience lol i’m getting there. Painted Lady shows that katara is the same, she still cares about the lil guy(s), despite all else, just like she did in Imprisoned. she can’t leave desperate people behind.

but in The Warriors of Kyoshi, sokka thought he was the Shit, and had to have it proved to him that that wasn’t the case (god bless u suki). in Sokka’s Master, however, it’s the exact opposite. his arc at that point brought him to having nearly no faith in himself. Warriors of Kyoshi was about bringing sokka down to earth (being A MAN💪🏽 isn’t the end all be all), and Sokka’s Master is about bringing him back up (what does it mean to be a man? 🌈). it’s obviously a huge shame that the invasion ended up sitting him right back down again in his insecurities. but i imagine if Sokka’s Master had never happened, he wouldn’t have been able to bounce back post-Boiling-Rock, regardless of whether or not he’d successfully broken his dad (and suki) out. he needed the foundation of self-confidence to beat away the doubts later.

anyways, point is.. at least personally the Painted Lady ep has never stuck out to me as special, whereas Sokka’s Master is one of my fave eps of the show. and that’s not because i have it out for katara or anything and held sokka in especially high regard (Sokka’s Master is largely WHY i now hold sokka in high regard—but The Desert ep put katara in just as high a regard in my book, along w probs a dozen other eps that showcase her unique character). Sokka’s Master stands out because it shows us a new part of sokka, but the Painted Lady doesn’t show us anything new about katara. in a show that’s ultimately rather short, episodes that seem like clones the way Painted Lady & Imprisoned do end up feeling lackluster. idk. this isn’t to say i dislike the Painted Lady, i just wanted to get my thoughts out

I lost all hope or trust for the 2024 live action ATLA when I heard talk of things happening in like episode 2 that originally took place in like ep 5 of the og show.

Any and all plot and character changes aside. The og atla, although having the old 20 ep season standard, is a decently fast-paced show. They literally go from the south poll to the North poll + detours in those 20 episodes.

I can't find it in me to believe that anyone could do any sort of justice to a story previously comprised of 20 distinct episodes in only 8 episodes.

I don't care that those episodes are, for some reason, the length of an overachieving short film (52mins)

I lose faith in something as soon as you start compressing storylines just for the sake of compressing things.

I spent like a half hour arguing with a coworker that Azula deserved a redemption like Zuko and that she's just as much a victim of abuse as her brother AND that Ursa wasn't that great of a mom to either but ESPECIALLY to Azula AND that Azula wasn't given the same opportunities or teaching Zuko was while they were growing up!!!! She literally couldn't have turned out any other way!!!

The convo half went:

"she's evil and crazy"

"she's 14"

-

"she made her own mother scared of her and want nothing to do with her, what's that say about her"

"she's a shitty mom"

-

"she's crazy!!! she's just as bad as their father!"

"the literal only positive attention she was ever given was from ozai, while ursa ignored her or yelled at her for doing bad but never explaining why or teaching compassion like she did with zuko."

A scene I've already written but hadn't drawn til now! I love how this turned out, and getting to draw Rokei with her hair down and wearing something more casual than armor was really fun

(Additionally here's the scene in the fic)

im gonna say it. the atla netflix series is fairly decent and i'm enjoying it so far. went in with little expectation and came out with a fun time!!

[miss-toph-beifong]

Ursa: What?

Azula: Why can't you say I look nice?

Ursa: I thought you didn't even care what I think.

Azula: I still want you to think I look good.

Ursa: I'm sorry, I was telling you the truth. Do you want me to lie?

Azula: No, I just wish ..... I wish that you liked me.

Ursa: Of course I love you.

Azula: But do you like me?

Ursa: .....I want you to be the very best version of yourself you can be

Azula: What if this is the best version?

I feel like when it comes to discussing the relationship between Ursa and Azula, the talk is always about whether or not Ursa loved Azula or not. But in my opinion, that goes without question.

Ursa DID love Azula. But did she like her?

[shrinkthisviolet]

Do you want Azula to have a similar arc like chozen? She’s all healed and redeemed, she teaches troubled kids about fire bending, and she has a blacksmith wife. Do you want her to stay make fun of zuko and be a good auntie?

I think the best healing arc for Azula honestly is settling somewhere away from the royals and the palace etc. My ideal arc for her would be her setting up shop somewhere remote, learning a skill slowly but surely (one she isn’t initially skilled at but learns over time…during which she also learns that she doesn’t have to be a prodigy to be worth something). Possibly teamaking, but blacksmith could work too!
