The urge to rewrite the whole TTBGO and Trollstopia series through my Branches & Thorns AU is getting stronger and stronger the more I think about it. I blame that one Trollstopia rewrite on AO3 (with the bounty hunters and Poppy’s bad ideas being hated on) for this!!
I already have a basic timeline for the three movies. Why not include the series in that timeline as well? (If I do it’s gonna take me much longer to finish the AU series)
Lol no guys I haven’t updated any of my fics. I’m working on an edit but it’s going really slowly. To be fair, I’ve been busy this week. Not busy enough to watch TTBO and read Trolls fics tho LMAOOOO (mainly I’ve just been unmotivated)
Besides Hair-Jitsu, The Bunker List is one of my least favorite TTBGO episodes (I HATE IT (besides certain moments 😋)) because it’s just Branch giving into peer pressure and making it seem like it’s only his fault for rushing through his bunker list. Guy Diamond and Smidge are annoyed at Branch for not doing things on his bunker list which, to an extent, is valid. Branch needs to get out more, but we’re talking about Branch here. The same Branch that was gray for 20 years. It’s not going to be easy for him to go through the list when he struggles so much with ‘basic’ social cues/expectations.
It’s not like he isn’t attempting to be more social either. He’s actually made good progress since the first episode.
Branch only made the bet because Guy Diamond and Smidge had gotten on him for not wanting to do things on his list. When he first said to give him a year to do the things, they scoffed and rolled their eyes. A year isn’t that long to complete a bucket list though? Especially not for someone like Branch who, again, was gray and miserable for 20 years. Poppy made a good point with telling him to do the list at his own pace. (She is surprisingly wise for a Pop troll surrounded by excessive positivity) I just wish they focused the lesson on not letting others get into your head over how you do things instead of ?? Idk whatever the lesson for that episode was.
What annoys me most out of that entire episode is that Branch still has to be humiliated in front of his friends (and only his friends thankfully bc seriously???? In front of everyone?!?!?! That was a horrible bet). They laugh at him when he tried to apologize (again, to an extent, fair bc he was being so aggressive towards his friends cause of wanting to finish his list on time). That was bad enough except then neither Smidge nor Guy Diamond apologized for pressuring him which really rubbed me the wrong way.
They were the whole reason Branch did all that. Poppy didn’t want the bet to happen yet they hair shook with Branch to make the bet official.
Several times throughout the TTBO and Trollstopia series Branch is made fun of for not being ‘normal’ or made the bad guy/blamed for stuff he didn’t do or wasn’t completely at fault for. I hate it so bad and this episode is one of the main examples of this. Ugh.
Also, I don’t completely like that bunker list bc of those same reasons. It’s a good idea but when Branch completes a part of the list the scrapbook says “One step closer to being normal!!”
. . .
Pop trolls try not to make Branch feel bad for being extremely socially inept due to 20 years of isolation, grayness, and trauma 🙀🙀 CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE ‼️‼️
Bro still isn’t his original colors of course he won’t be as happy as the other Pop trolls
Anyway, yeah, rant over. If you made it this far congrats on reading to me take a kids show way too seriously 🤗
I need a life-sized cutout of Steb who can watch me while I sleep.
The way I'd be staring it down, biting my lips and kicking my feet while twirling my hair omggggg

height difference? yummy. power imbalance? kinky. (fuck)buddies in arms? check. varying degrees of toxicity depending on your interpretations/headcanons? why not? one of them is (temporarily) vampire-coded? FUCKING PEAK. WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE???
Work on current fics 🙅🏽♂️ Draw part of your trolls AU that doesn’t have a single chapter 🙇🏽♂️
I’m workshopping the name but so far I’m calling it my Thorns & Branches AU for short. I’m even starting to make a playlist and daydreaming how certain scenes will go down and have named of some ocs that will be featured in part of the series 😋 (that I will maybe eventually make)
These are the sketches I made for the edit. The first two being art of my Rock troll oc called Thorn. The 2nd sketch of him is what would have happened to him if he stayed in Volcano Rock City instead of accidentally finding Pop Village.
I am too easily entertained
(you need to view the image or you'll just like the post)
Since people liked it i made a toy that works on the computer: https://nick-nonya.itch.io/trampoline-toy Have fun!
Fanart of scenes from Let Me Love You Again and Love Me in Return to really show how different Branch is with his brothers compared to everyone else 🤗

YESSSSS
I did a few days ago a post about considering to talk about League of Legend champions that could be shipped with Mel, considering that people had started to opened to the idea of multishipping. First, a little disclaimer...
League of legends have 169 champions. Of course I can't talk about everyone, and I had decided to set a few little rules of who I would comment. I tried to get a variety of shipping "flavors" people could be interested in, but here are some considerations I took for my 10 characters.
A) I'm not going to talk about characters who have an ongoing couple in the main timeline. By extension, I won't include characters who won't be interested in Mel, like K'sante or Varus, as they are gay.
B) I will consider only humanoid characters.
C) I'm not expert on LOL Lore, so if there is something wrong, just kindly comment and I will correct.
With that being said, if the characters already introduced in Arcane doesn't suit your tastes for our girl Mel, then you have here some new characters to consider.
Female characters.
Samira, a shuriman who embraced Noxus's mindset and became a bounty hunter, looking for challenge and adventure.She is kinda related/ sponsored by the Black Rose. May Mel become her new patron, instead?
You want a little enemies to lovers touch? We have Karma, the vessel of the spirit of Ionia, who offers her the wisdom of remembering her past lives, one of the beacons of hope agaisnt Noxus's invasion of her homeland.
Do you want a little bit of what Elizabeth and Will had in Pirates of Caribbean? There you have Miss fortune, the daughter of firearms crafter, who became a pirate to get vengance agaisnt the one who killed her family, the reaver king Gangplank.
What about a little of beauty and the beast trope? Kai'sa might look like a void monster, but she is dedicating her life to stop the plague of the Void to dominate Runaterra.
Of course I will have a 'I can fix her' trope. She was kinda the reason of the post, as I saw people loving the vestaya design of Lest. Ahri, who doesn't have memories of her childhood, had been taking the life essence of humans to feel their memories and feelings. Until she feel in love...and accidentally killed her lover with her powers. Could Mel be her second chance?
Male characters
Mel is a painter, and so is Hwei, who uses magic to make his art a weapon. He uses his powers to bring justice to the world, while looking for the serial murderer that massacred his temple...
A Shuriman vigilante, a member of the Sentinel of Light who battles agaisnt the evil in the shadow isles, looking for justice and hunting for the warlord that killed the woman who took him from the streets...
You want family drama, someone who can understand the sibiling bond Mel and Kino had? Aphelios and hist twin sister Alune were treausured by the Lunari, as they considered them fated children. As they were considerated heretics by the Solari, Aphelios dedicated his life to protect his people, while her sister got involved with the mystical arts ending trapped in the spirit world. But when the Solari army reached the Lunari, Alune reached to his brother with her magic, and together they protected their people. Now Aphelios is a weapon, with her sister as his guide.
But of course we have some more...complicated guys. If you thought Heimendirger was paranoid about magic, you have to know about the city of Demacia, where magic is forbidden and mages are prosecuted. For Demacia, Sylas is a terrorist , for the mages, a liberator...and he won't stop until they are free, no matter the cost...or the collateral damage. Think of Magneto, from the X-men.
And of course , I have another I can fix him trope. Are you into Dark Romance? Into vampire aesthetics? There you have Vladimir a blood mage, ancient enough to have seen the foundation of Noxus itself. A member of the Noxian socialite, involved with the Black Rose, and leader of his own cult. A lot of things going on, indeed.
The potential of the shipping is endless...
SkyJay?
