I just wanted to know your opinion about it. Sorry for so many questions, I'm not good at posting, I love your Tumblr.
Hi:3 sorry for the late response I was helping my mom decorate for Christmas XD I’m glad you enjoy my tumblr😊
As to your questions I 100 percent agree with you
I believe Branch did have a crush on poppy when he was still grey it even states it in wiki but their are few hints that you can see over the years as you watch their basically oblivious relationship grow
Poppy and Branch has this playful banter in the first trolls you see things like
P:“I figured after the third hug getting eaten by a Bergen wouldn’t seem so bad!”
B: “and I realized that you couldn’t do this by yourself! Guess we were both right”
Or other hints are like examples from when Branch explains to poppy why he’s grey and how she hugs him you can see the tintiest smile rising that was until the snack pack joined in or when Branch helps Bridget charm gristle
B:” your eyes it’s like...two pools so deep I fear that if I dive in I may never came up for air and your smile the sun itself turns jealous and refuses to come out from behind the clouds knowing it cannot shine Half as bright”. You see poppy look at him almost in shock at how smooth he is
I kinda do a nice smile don’t I?
“Yes...you do” that poem was directed at poppy he LOOKED at poppy when he said those words and smiled which she happily returns seconds before Branch basically snaps himself out of it turning back
Or at the end true colors had a much more deep meaning to him then to any other troll and I guess you could say that song really confirms how he feels for her she may have meant it platonically but he didn’t...
So yes! Branch 100 percent had a crush on poppy and that’s considering poppy had a crush on creek which you could see he hate it when poppy basically “EMPHASIZED” his name
P:“It took satin and chenille, guy diamond, smidge and biggie and fuzzbert and CREEK!” At this scene Branch rolls his eyes when she mentions him like that or when poppy Was saying goodnight to everyone in her pictures and in a flirtatious way she tells creek goodnight which basically makes Branch snap saying “AND GOODNIGHT POPPY!
Now you see that poppy replaced creeks pic with Branch’s which I find soooo adorable lol
So ya know with ttbgo and TWT and trollstopia you see them grow together it’s a slow burn relationship but hey! It’s worth it
Branch cared about poppy because she was the only one that cared for him!
