Does Branch ever finally snap at his brothers for treating him like a child? Or does he just bear it so they don’t leave? Either way it’s said for our boy :(

I feel like eventually in the future once they build a relationship, and start coming around to the thought that Branch isn’t the same person he once was. Branch will finally confront them on how “he doesn’t need to constantly be protected or babied, how he can take care of himself” The brothers will deny they do it at first but after some reflection they realize their mistakes and back off a bit “for Branch’s sake” (they do have moments where they treat him like a kid but will quickly realize and apologize)

Quick question Why do people hate Poppy? Like she’s one of the best characters, if it was series Poppy I could kinda understand(she has her moments where I’ll really dislike her) but to be fair so does Branch and a bunch of other characters!! And people will still worship them like they are the most amazing characters ever written “who could do no wrong”. And to be fair movie Poppy has her moments too (especially 1st movie poppy) but she has grown tremendously and is still growing as the franchise continues to grows. If it’s about the problems she’ll have in the movies beginning (ie her “not listening issue” from the 2nd) she learn from those behaviors and becomes better by the end.

Poppy and nomad Branch are in a “Creek fucking sucks club” and it’s a big way they bond. (They have a lot to talk about since Creek tried to create the same relationship he had with Poppy, with Branch so he could move up the social ladder and have protection)

[xxnomadsxx]

Why does nobody ever talk about Croppy (Creek x Poppy)? Like there’s soooooo much angst potential! Poppy was basically obsessed with Creek in the first movie (even though they never stated it in the first movie it was pretty obvious they were dating) Then he just betrayed her and the village like cmon think of the potential! There is so much heartbreak just SITTING THERE!

They really should’ve dived into that in the series when Creek returned. Like why was Branch the most hateful towards Creek. Their relationship was basically nonexistent in the movie (Creek basically tried to ignore Branch’s existence throughout the movie, and Branch was just annoyed with Creek in general) Like Poppy is RIGHT THERE! She should’ve been the one who wanted to throw Creek in a volcano in the series, not Branch!!!

I’ve seen very few people talk about Poppy and honey it’s sad. She’s the main character and nobody ever really dives into her characters issues (uknow her feelings about not being good enough, being a HUGE people pleaser, her insecurities, maybe some trust issues, not to mention the fact she just got a sister she never knew about?!) Like more people need to focus on her in my opinion (especially her past relationship)

Nomads Village

I just realized I’ve never talked about the actual village before, just the inhabitants. Oops- 😶

Originally when Branch was first kidnapped he was taken to the original village (which was a days walk from Pop village) The village itself was more like a big burrow deep in the ground,that would split up into tunnels that went on for a few mile- I mean feet. It was lit up by bioluminescence plant life, and fire. The buildings were just plain old wooden buildings, with the addition of dead animals parts that were used for structure, bones as pillars, animal skin for roofing, that sorta thing (the whole thing pretty much looked like a dystopian town)

Branch stayed in the village as the only pop troll, till the separated group of pop trolls (mentioned before) showed up after being taken by a group of ferals. They were allowed to stay, but not long later the original leader decided to move the village, when hearing more about the Bergens (and deeming them an “annoyance that she didn’t want deal with”) they just decided to move.

When they did move they moved to an abandoned hollowed tree that was smack dab in the middle of all the troll tribe territory (after that grey trolls just started popping up) The village design started looking like a mashup of all the troll genre architectural styles smashed together as one.(The buildings didn’t exactly look right since they didn’t have the exact resources to make them and just came out looking like a cheap imitation) The village is pretty closed pack together as tho it were a city, and is basically just hidden in the tree being only accessible through tunnels. The whole thing is heavily fortified and kinda an eyesore with all the different genres smooshed together (to be fair the grey trolls just wanted to feel at home so they tried to imitate it as much as possible..it never really worked for them though)

A fic for @xxnomadsxx wonderful au!

I hope it's somewhat accurate-😅

(Sorry if it's rough, It's rushed bc i have stuff to do in the morning, I'm not used to AO3)

Who are your other troll oc's?

I don’t really got any others ( I mean the grey trolls who I frequently bring up who have some characteristics could be counted as oc’s, but I just see them as background characters who are only names and no face) I didn’t really make other oc’s because I didn’t want to overrun the au with a bunch of Oc’s and make it “cringe”.

I had an idea a while back for another feral oc who was basically a Branch and Poppy swap (she would have been “if Poppy was seen as the town outcast”) No one would really exclude her or anything people just stay weary in case she accidentally gets anyone caught for being a loud eyesore with stability issues (they can’t be mad at her too much for her shenanigans since she’s only like idk 12)

The characters itself would have brown poofy hair in a huge bun, and instead of leaves and sticks in her hair it would be confetti and frosting, she would have streamer’s replace the bandages that should cover her body (everyone thinks it’s really unhygienic and they’ll get an infection from having bloody streamers on her wounds all the time), her outfits would be old pop troll clothes (who she got inspired to be wut she is now) Her clothing is battered and bruised with many stitching and colorful patches sewn on (maybe some leg warmers made out of fabric they stole from a dead Bergen or something) Their cloak would also be a colorful mess

Personality wise they are a mix between Poppy, Viva, unikitty, pinkie pie, and the personification of whimsy. They are just ✨whimsically insane✨ (I mean they have to be crazy there a feral troll) They are way less crazy than Thing but is more just mentally unstable in “should be in an asylum” than “rabid animal with no reasoning”

Probably named after a baked good or something party related.

So time travel idea. Nomads!AU Branch gets thrown back into his toddler self, before Brozone breaks up. Idk how, maybe accidental wormhole, magic, or Cloud Guy’s fault. How would branch react and act considering he has over 20 years of experience living in the forest with the grey trolls and ferals to survive? and how would past Brothers react?

Horrified

Branch just pops up in the past before one of the worst moments in his life (of course he’s gonna spiral for like an hour?!) and eventually comes to the conclusion he needs to go back! (he struggles mentally if he should stay and try fixing his relationship with his brothers, but eventually decides against it because an entire village is counting on him to come back ….they need him (Oooo- buddy I see you’ve got some dependency issues weighing on ya 😬)

The brothers are just breaking down, because for some reason Bitty B is Grey?!!?!!?! (Branch has to turn grey if he went back I mean he currently has 20 years of trauma and heavy unresolved issues saying him down)

Bitty is also acting really weird like, refusing to touch anyone, keeps somehow getting weapons and acting like he knows how to use them, talks like an adult for some reason, and every time one of the brothers try to grab B he just doges with the precision of an Olympic winner gymnast?!

They are just confused everything was fine yesterday and now Baby Branch is like a completely different person, they call off everything (maybe even a certain tour) just so they can try and get Bit’s color back, and to get to the bottom of what’s happening! (I mean JD can’t let the public see Branch now! he’ll ruin Brozone’s image)

Idk how the story would end, but Branch would eventually get back, and everything is normal still (YAY, no huge time paradoxes 😁) The only addition is how the brothers now have a story where they SWEAR Branch was possessed for like a week.

you mentioned a while back that there’s a game named daggers in the village, how do you play?

It’s a very popular game amongst the village youth😁

How u play is simple, u get a group of kids, give each a BUNCH of daggers, let them spread out, and HIT THE DECK!! When they start chucking them at each other. When all the daggers are thrown each kid has to line up and count how many cuts or daggers are on/in their body (whoever has the most is deemed the loser, and the least the winner)

The game was created as a training exercise turned game (honestly it started off as a game between the feral trolls that Branch thought could be a good teaching exercise) The game was later introduced to kids, and was a hit!! (The adults were weary at first but realized “Hey are kids are learning how to throw weapons for the first time 🥹” AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING?!)

…anyway when the main cast find out about this game and are horrified (same bro same 😔) and try to shut it down as quickly as possible (to no avail they lost, and now hachets somehow got involved in the game?!) To this day they still try to shut it down, but Branch won’t listen to their issues with it(He’s a really big fan of daggers, and even plays with some of the other villagers (not Thing tho, since Thing is against throwing weapons at Branch)

I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I just got really busy, and overwhelmed.

But now I’m back and will try to get back to my old schedule.

How does Thing get along with kids?

Thing is…..fine with kids

Thing would be better with kids if he stopped trying to eat the smaller ones (Branch on numerous occasions have had to pry a kids head out of things mouth while yelling “DROP IT” over and over again) If he’s not trying to eat them Thing just stares at them with no emotion (Thing keeps them safe but has absolutely no paternal skills)

If a trolling cried Thing would pat them on the back then call them a “whiny bich” (Branch has slapped Thing upside the head every time they do that)

[xxnomadsxx]

feral and unhinged uncle meets goblin nephews and niece, Bruce better watch out cause Branch could form a potential little militia with his kids. 😂😂

Branch (accidentally) did try to make them into a mini militia (he treated them the same way he treats the kids in the village, wich is basically just mini soldiers)

Bruce put a stop to it before Branch could teach Labreezy the fastest way to rip a critter’s head off..

[xxnomadsxx]

Do feral trolls get the zoomies at times?? does that mean Nomad!Branch get the zoomies too??

The feral trolls are almost always on the zoomies (there are a few that are more calm and layed back) When they do have the zoomies they mostly just act like Viva (Thing straight up acts like a feral animal with rabies that runs around on all fours)

Branch does get the zoomies (but very rarely it’s just an every now and then thing ) when he does he acts like a mix of viva (how she just dashes around) and Thing (a rabid possum)

What would happen if the other tribes found out what happened to creek and the chef ? Would they be scared ?

They’ve always had a bad feeling about the grey trolls, THIS just gives them all the proof they need to make defenses against them (they are ok-ish with what happened to creek and chef (since they kinda deserved it) but are ABSOLUTELY terrified) I mean they ate them that feels like a reason to panic!! (most of the tribes try to sweep it under the rug and not think about, while the rest of the tribes bring it up any chance they get to prove a point)

Throughout all of this the grey trolls don’t care about the info coming to light (the feral trolls on the other hand brag every chance they get)

I think I have shitty eyesight. I was hanging out with my friend, and when she tried to show me this art project she’s been working on, I apparently had been squinting at her drawing and mistook a bunch of details as other random things (and little fact my friend is really good at art so I should have had no problem being able to tell what a blueberry looks like!!!) I thought everyone just had a hard time seeing small details or text BUT NOPE!!! I’m just getting old and going blind apparently?!?!!?!!!

[xxnomadsxx]

I’ve just found out something is wrong with my inbox, because apparently some people have been sending me asks like days ago to weeks!!!! and I’ve just, not been getting them?!?!?!? (I thought I was caught up on all my asks, I’ve been making posts whenever I get a new one) I am so sorry!!!! to everyone whose asked me a question that I haven’t answered. 😔

(Also thank you to my mutuals who’ve told me)

[xxnomadsxx]

(Warning gross topic!!! This his has nothing to do with any of my other content I just really wanted to vent and if you don’t want to hear it I suggest moving along)

I AM CURRENTLY SPIRALING!!!! I just found out someone I follow is a fucking proshiper! like WHAT?!?!!? They’ve never done anything like this before or anything problematic in general,(which is why it surprised me so much) I’ve unfollowed them, but now I’m going to think and feel revolted about this for the next few days 😭 and JUST LIKE WHY?!?!!!???!!!??!!!
