Are Lobsters mermaids to Scorpions?𓇼⋆｡˚𓇼

(Where are the Smilton fans smh)

Poppy never really had the chance to choose.

She was unconscious when Barb found her, and even as she slowly regained consciousness, she was too physically and emotionally broken to fight back or run away.

I've always felt that Branch's character was watered down even for the sake of Trollstopia's plot. Though he'd gone through a lot of growth, I don't think he would have handled all those changes as well as Poppy kinda did, sooo here’s my lil take on it

Still have some things to share (some older than others), so when I get the chance, I'll probably make posts about them

In the meantime, have this animatic I made for the Au! (long intro)

Indeed!

Since Poppy couldn't convince the others to follow her and stayed behind to help Bridget, Creek didn't waste any time.

(I mean, it is a long journey from Bergen Town, "the dogs territory" to Pop Village, "Popclan" after all)

So, after Branch left with the others, during the time Poppy was helping Bridget, Creek showed the dogs the way to reach Popclan. Not only that, but he also made sure they would catch them with their guard down. He reached the village before the dogs to ensure his life debt was fully repaid.

When he realized Poppy wasn't there and asked where she was, he saw it as an opportunity to make the clan focus on something else. Grabbing her cowbell, he presented it as if she were gone for good. Just as he had planned, everyone was left devastated, and with the village's spirits at their lowest, he gave the signal for the dogs to attack.

(In parallel to the movie, Creek receives Poppy's cowbell at the beginning as a gift from her for being such a loyal and dedicated apprentice.)

It will basically follow the lore of the og movies rlly. They'll probably end up making peace with the dogs, with a slightly more stubborn Branch along the way (he'll come around eventually) ;)

Sure! Ok so first of all, srry for any bad english (it isn't my main)

Welp, there's already quite a bit of building behind it, but I'll do my best to explain what's going on!

Basically, it's mostly the same story as the first movie (funnily enough, this AU could also work with Trolls in a way), except this time the Snack Pack doesn't really follow the whole "let's rescue Creek" plan. After surviving capture by the Bergens (represented as dogs), they start leaning much more into Branch's survival focused mindset and lose a lot of their optimism. Branch is even more closed off than usual, constantly criticizing Poppy's leadership and pointing out how her decisions are putting their clanmates in danger. Eventually, the Snack Pack chooses to follow him instead, leaving Poppy on her own. Although she still befriends Bridget, she decides that checking on her clanmates is more important than risking everything for someone she isn't even sure is alive.

(Don’t you love when hyperfixations merge? lol)

Anyways, here’s a WIP! Idk if I’ll end up finishing it, it depends
