I know I rarely post anything on Tumblr except reblogs, but hear me out.
So I came up with a Trolls au a little while ago, and my friend (who doesn’t use Tumblr) helped me flesh it out. I am better at writing than drawing, so this is gonna be a lot of text.
⁃ The Bergens wanted more taste from the pop trolls, so they experimented with them. A lot of different results happened, but it all resulted in pop trolls not really looking like trolls that much anymore.
⁃ Poppy has gas inside her body, like laughing gas. She has these flaps behind her ears that she normally leaves uncovered because every pop troll was immune to the gas. When the flaps are covered for too long it starts seeping out of other holes in her face. If every hole is covered for too long she explodes.
⁃ Branch has possession powers but because of the grey, he can’t remember his power outbursts. He gets possessed by spirits trying to make him happy and colorful, and doesn’t remember it. When he gets his colors again he starts to remember and starts being able to possess others. Possessing others is tiresome and he passes out after a while.
⁃ Cooper gets affected by the powers of pop during his entire life, especially the gas from Poppy. He goes his entire life thinking he is also an experiment, so when he actually meets trolls like him he is kinda shocked.
⁃ The first movie is pop escaping, and getting the time to actually practice their powers. When Chef attacks they actually manage to escape without anyone being taken. (Creek gets fuckin stepped on)
⁃ So the movie would be about Branch having more outbursts of his powers and the snack pack helping him to control it. When he regains his colors he starts being able to possess others. He practices with the snack pack who is happy to help.
⁃ When the world tour happens, everyone is excited to see other trolls.
⁃ Cooper is actually helped by the snack pack to get him ready to find trolls like him. So when he goes off sooner or later the gas effect wears off, and when he meets those weird birds he thinks the gas is back, and when he’s with funk he is very surprised he is not an experiment at all.
⁃ Meanwhile Poppy, Branch, and Biggie sets off to find and help other trolls.
⁃ Poppy keeps her hair down to not release any gas.
⁃ In Symphonyville Pennywhistle is kinda scared but doesn’t say too much about it.
⁃ In Lonesome Flats country is scared, and during the pop medley, they are more scared than annoyed. They throw them in jail for basically being a treat.
⁃ Hickory is kinda scared but learns a little about them.
⁃ Pop is more happy and honest, so he notices that they are fascinated by him.
⁃ The pop trolls also sorta catch on that Hickory is not really country, but they sorta think it’s because of that he is an experiment.
⁃ Biggie leaves before they meet funk.
⁃ When they meet funk, Cooper has been thinking he fantasized everything but seeing Poppy and Branch reminds him it’s very real.
⁃ Funk shows that they are scared of the pop trolls more than the country trolls, but they remain rational since Cooper is fine even if he lived with them for so long.
⁃ When they learn the true story they are more indifferent to it and don’t mention uniting the tribes against rock.
⁃ When rock attack they get separated, and Poppy and Branch has a fight.
⁃ They separate and Branch gets found by k-pop and reggaeton. He kinda freaks for a moment but then k-pop and reggaeton start fighting and he uses his powers to take control of everyone except Wani and Tresillo. When he speaks he also speaks through the others’ mouths, scaring Wani and Tresillo. He actually resolves it tho, mainly because it’s tiresome to control 6 people and he doesn’t see a reason as to why he should control them when that’s what he tries to stop Barb from doing.
⁃ Meanwhile Poppy is worried about Branch and the fact her gas is building up.
⁃ When the yodelers reveal themselves she feels sad and betrayed there’s really no one like them.
⁃ When rock arrives she has so much built-up gas she has to start shutting her mouth, so Barb kinda just takes it as compliance.
⁃ “This is who I have been afraid of? This little freak?”
⁃ Poppy can’t respond or she will send gas at Barb and Poppy realized that it was her only weapon.
⁃ So at the rock concert, everyone is more scared of pop and not rock, except rock who is focusing on themselves.
⁃ When the concert starts Branch arrives, but no pop troll is really scared of being turned into a zombie. (They are actually immune in a way because of the experiments, but no one knows that.)
⁃ And then the pink smoke starts seeping out of Poppy’s cell. She performs “Hallucinate” by Dua Lipa and the sequence is like a 2010 music video but with the leaders too.
⁃ Everyone is having a laughing fit because of the gas, it’s like they’re trapped inside the laughter.
⁃ Then when all the pent up gas is gone and the song is over she offers to actually talk leader to leaders.
I don’t know what all of the pop experiment things are gonna be, so feel free to make your own and tag me. Also this was long
