Second art was my og concept. Can't post my color swatch test for Nebula because it has secrets on it.

I will cry. Branch really does look a lot like Nebula now that I think about it.

(Part of me is cooking an au of EY where John finds out who Nova was sooner and ends up raising both Creek and Branch)

!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't thought about it. I'd assume not the same one. The brothers all carry the gene but their moms genes cancel it out. Bruce has the version of it that's caused by strain but I imagine the putt putt trolls all have some form of hair disorder but not the same one.

Yeah Bruce and Clay both have some pretty good memories of them. Floyd also has memories of them but they're a lot fuzzier since hew as only 10 when they died. John is the only one that knew their grandpa and even then his memories of Saturn are really fuzzy.

OOp. This seems like a chance to dump some Eldest family tree lore. So Rosiepuff married her husband Saturn young. Their eldest son, Nebula, was born only a few months into their marriage. 2 years later, Nova was born. When Nebula was 5 and Nova 3, Saturn started going out camping more and more and since the boys were young, he never brought them. (this would later spur into Nebula always taking his boys along if they wanted to.) Saturn mostly used this time as a break from the kids, given he was only 24 at this time. It turned into a bad habit and became neglectful. Rosiepuff, being stuck at home with the boys alone and only being 23, got very easily frustrated. She turned to gambling and often would have her friends and others over to play cards and when the cards didn't go well or the kids got rowdy she'd yell at them. She never resorted to anything physical though. Between their mothers yelling, and their fathers frequent absences, the boys were a little messed up. When Nebula was 16 and Nova 14, Nova got into a yelling match with Rosiepuff over a game she played and she hit him for the first time. She was horrified at what she did and tried to apologize but Nova had already run to his room and shut the door. Nebula told her to give him some space and eventually he went to check on Nova but Nova was gone with only a letter addressed to Nebula. This caused Nebula a lot of grief, Rosiepuff to try and give up her gambling (she fell back into it after Saturn's death), and Saturn to stick around the pod more and also take Nebula out camping a lot leading to Nebula's own love of nature.

OH YES. I have a post in here somewhere about what they looked like and I have a lot of plans about Nebula and Nova lore. Trust me thats coming up in the sequel. I'm very very very excited to delve into their backstory a little and have the brozone boys (mostly John) find out more about them. Can't wait to show you guys more about Nova >:3

It definitely hurts JD. There was a chapter in EY where he was really sick and saw Branch as Nebula and that was painful for both of them. Not sure about how the others would react but it does probably shock them at first.
