Does Barbie have some hidden anger/general emotion issues? This is to do with toxic positivity, isn't it?
I wanted to keep some parts of their personalities the same, so I think Barbie would still be kind of cocky and have that bratty attitude problem.
But being a pop troll and their leader at that, means that Barb has to work harder to keep her cool. Most trolls don't think much about it bc she can smooth it over, but the more stress she's under, I think the harder it is to keep herself levelheaded

It's Queen Barbara! But you can just call her Barbie! She's the coolest, chillest queen around and she always knows what's best for the village, so why question it when she tells you what to do? Well, Branch sure does.
whats CS branch relationship with the lunch rush and vice versa?
They see Branch as a major bummer, but a few of them don't mind still talking to him from time to time even if he isn't very nice.
Val and Riff are the most friendly with him. Branch doesn't mind either of them, but prefers Riff since he's quiet and is a bit of a brainiac. Everyone else can fuck off really, they're all so full of themselves in his eyes.
They think the same about him, very rude and a bit too proud. The dynamic is definitely different due to how Barb and Branch interact.
Branch doesn't know how to feel towards Barb but he doesn't particularly like her either. He knows she means well but she's also incredibly rude with how she says things and they often fight.
Barb thinks Branch needs a helping hand but also just doesn't get him and is quick to give up after he's a bit too rude and her temper gets the better of her.
She spends minimal time around him so they don't squabble. Some trolls just don't want to be helped! >:[
how's CS thrash differs from canon thrash?
He's very different. He's kind of given the King Peppy traits we all hate. He omits information from the village like before, but instead, he has informed Barb of their family history; the true history.
I mean, what else were their ancestors supposed to do? Pop music is the best genre, they were just doing the other tribes a favor by being in charge of the strings! :3

What's probably the dumbest and most in character thing (Chord Striker Pop Troll) Barb can say towards Branch or Poppy or the others times in general? Mostly asking this question with the one art (on twitter) you did of her saying "you don't really want him" about Branch and Poppy looking get to go back to prison. Thank one really stuck with me. Your so good with facial expression on your art❤💚💚💜💙🥰😍😍🤩
She honestly says too many unintentionally rude things tbh 💀 it's kind of how I characterize her!! She's a lot less naïve in the way that canon Poppy was and is instead more naïve from parroting her dad's mindset and opinions. She is told that Pop trolls tend to be a bit absentminded and she ends up belittling them by accident because she views herself as smarter than most trolls bc King Thrash says so.
Her mindset kind of goes unchecked because Pop Trolls are easy to please and honestly just don't even realize they're being belittled anyways because they believe that Barb often knows what's best for them.
It's why Branch and Barb don't get along very well, Branch feels belittled by her and hates feeling like he's being given handouts or that he's a charity case. When Branch rejects her suggestions and offers to him, she often unintentionally says things that would kind of hurt to anyone privy to what's being implied.
She'd likely say something offensive about rock culture or Poppy’s personality based off of the biased knowledge of rock trolls from her dad.
Here would be an example of something she'd say to Branch:
"Branch, I know you're just feeling a bit shy and confused. You're not used to the way we do things because you're really different from the rest of us, I get it! I'm just trying to help make it easier for you! :)"
But that could feel really belittling because it's implying not only that Branch is being treated like a weirdo, but also because it implies that he isn't capable or smart enough to help himself. Then, at the same time, he knows Barb is being earnest when she says it & everyone around him would make him feel like he was wrong for refusing. That is really confusing for him.
That's how Barb makes him feel; confused and often conflicted. I kind of liked canon Barb's characterization of being a bit passive aggressive, a bit wild and being knowledgeable, yet incredibly ignorant at the same time.
I wanted to keep that trait in Barb the same way that Poppy is still well liked, often remains in good spirits and wants to help others.
