I am the Alpha. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE ALPHA!!!!

Whenever Rocky sees Lucy, the first thing he asks is “Have you written a new poem today?” If she says no, he answers with “That’s Ok. It’s good to see you anyway” while placing a hand on her cheek. If she says yes, he immediately asks to hear it, regardless of their location.

After showing him her latest poem, Lucy asks for Rocky's​ opinion. If he doesn’t like it, he’s honest and responds with “Sorry, maybe next time” while sympathetically placing a hand on her shoulder. If he does like it, then he places a hand under her chin and uses her thumb to rub her cheek. He whispers “That was beautiful, my little vampire (or sometimes my little bat)”.

Back at it again 🍔

I’ll be posting full designs again soonish, my semiannual whatever redraw of them all grown up 😭 my babies

For my sanity pretend Tina learned to sign her name right handed for funzies, I liked the pose to much to change it I’m so sorry my dear left handed Tina 😖

Zeke being the first one to notice and worry the crab stuck in the Wonder Wharf dipping sauce container and being empathetic about it. I'll forever claim the boy is an environmentalist at heart.

Tina being the one primarily focused on cleaning the beach for the betterment of the environment.

Tina mentioning something about helping the crab trapped in dipping sauce find its soulmate.

The thought that Zeke and Tina are both Romantics at heart and he probably also wasn't against the idea of helping the crab find its soulmate when Tina pitched it (though he didn't say anything).

Tina being the one who knows/tells Louise that Zeke named the crab "Saucy."

I like to think Zeke and Tina go back to the beach together sometimes to do cleanup just because its the right thing to do. Jimmy Junior joins sometimes, and Jocelyn too. But they'd cherish the moments when its just the two of them (they take it more seriously than the others).

And they look for/help other distressed crabs on the beach.

They collect seashells. More like Zeke finds sheets to give to Tina, but it becomes their thing.

I feel like they'd probably make it a weekend thing for the two of them.

This episode is almost universally dunked on for the characters giving Creek another chance and not siding with Branch over his reluctance to accept him back in the Village but tbh I feel like people are just being unfair,

The Pop Trolls are literally a peaceful tribe that believes in empathy and second chances and well Creek is kinda the bare minimum of that notion imo as he's someone who literally only hurt them

because he found himself in the most extreme situation someone can possibly find themselves in where his only choices were to either betray them

or die horrifically which is not really a fair choice to have thrust onto a normal everyday person at all,

so while I don't agree with unconditional forgiveness or anything I do feel like if you don't believe this guy warrants a second chance then you just can't really believe in them at all otherwise its just hypocritical,

I feel like it would be more valid to have issues with Barb's second chance in world tour or Crimps second chance in band together and even Bro zone's second chance than it is Creeks

given they all did bad things of their own free will where they could have comfortably lived without doing them and unlike Creek they did them repeatedly

( Creek only had one negative action in the movie )

and in Barbs case she didn't even choose to do the right thing in the end she just got defeated and then let off the Hook yet Creek's second chance is the one most people have an issue with and not hers?

I feel like the issue is a lot of people just focus on Creek not being a likable person and don't actually focus on his circumstances and motive same with these other characters who were given second chances as well despite doing wrong,

and really what exactly is it people want from the pop tribe? should they punish him? what would be the point? he literally spent most of the first movie suffering so that would just be sadistic,

should they not let him back in? well that would literally go against their tribes way of empathy and understanding,

Idk I feel like of all the second chances that were given in the Trolls franchise Creek's is honestly the one that is the most understandable given his circumstances where he was mostly a victim himself

and had no real free will in the situation compared to other characters who may be more conventionally likable

The problem here was that Jax had someone waiting for him…but the one person he wanted to see again is dead. He killed her…the only person in his life who ever mattered. Jax couldn’t go back. Not to that house, not to that shitty town. Not back on those long, desolate roads.

Otherwise, a deeper look into Jax's panic attack, breakdown, and subsequent flashbacks to an eerie road at the end of Episode 7. It appears as if whatever's waiting for him in the outside world is far more horrifying than being trapped in the circus......
