something I really like about Trolls: Band Together is that they shoved so many tropes and themes and subplots into the movie and they somehow all worked and came together in the end.
Like Tiny Diamond being the comic relief, Veneer having his redemption arc, Velvet and Veneer (representing big music corporations) literally stealing talent, family breaking apart, then coming back together.
They all come together in the end.
Also the music's pretty.
This is getting better. :D
BroZone Headcanons:
• They all exaggerated their archetypes. It was assigned based on the latest phase JD remembered them in.
• Bruce is the only one who is closest to his archetype, as he actually likes being the heartthrob. But it was getting too old for him, when he realized he had the personality of a rock from focusing on his outer performance for so long.
• Clay is pure middle child through and through. He only got labeled the fun one, because he had the phase of running around the house in his underwear to make his brothers laugh. Everything else JD remembered about him was boring.
….
• JD is actually good at making practical choices, but only for himself. Before turning into a band he was satisfied and complacent following what the industry wanted for him
• He wanted to solo, but when he was ready to go on tour, family members tagging along is not allowed. So since his brothers know how to sing and dance from his example he decided to temporarily form that boy band (because boy bands were trending).
• He’s not that good at compromising for 4 other individual opinions, so he’d always go with what he can work with. And that’s why the others don’t like him much, and always make it clear that he’s not a good “leader”.
• He’s always striving for them to be perfect, because disbanding BroZone was his plan from the start. He wants his brothers to have a chance in the music industry on their own because keeping a band together is hard. But because of that one show he threw that 5+ years plan out the window (and, you know, went out the same window…)
….
• Floyd is only above-average-nice. JD only labeled him as the “sensitive one”, because he knows how to fake cry.
• It was a skill he developed when he was younger to guilt trip JD and Bruce into getting what he wants. Clay was the only one who didn’t fall for it because they were only one year apart.
• He’s actually the most affectionately spoiled of his brothers, because he stayed the youngest for 12 years. The puppy dog eyes stopped working when Branch was born.
• He finally got karma for abusing his baby-of-the-family card, because Baby Branch was too cute for him to upset. And he wasn’t even doing it on purpose. He was a lot sweeter among them for some reason, that Clay often teases Floyd (affectionately) about it.
Clay: “Aww, Baby Branch is such an angel being able to understand the word ‘no’. Where was all these good genes when you were little, Floyd?”
Floyd: 😒
….
• They never got to hire a real band manager, because they had to find some way to smuggle Grandma Rosiepuff on tour with them.
• They didn’t want to leave her behind, partially because she has a gambling problem and all their money goes to her account. (JD was still settling his account). —She’s over all still a sweet woman, though. The other reason they wanted to bring her, was was because Baby Branch can’t stay away from her for too long.
….
• Branch only got to perform small shows with Kismet when they were all still kids pretending to be a band. They made a pact to form a real band when they were of age, but Branch turned them down believing BroZone would come back at that time.
• After the Rock Apocalypse incident, dancing with the K-Pop trolls and the Reggaeton trolls made him miss Kismet. So he reached out to them, and met up again for some gigs.
• He literally has no idea how he managed to hide that side hustle from Poppy for so long, while also co-leading the village with her.
• Kismet thought of distributing their own archetypes too, but they were all too in sync with each other (hahaha I’m so clever) —that they couldn’t hold individual images.
• Branch, due to adapting his brother’s cheaper versions of the boy band archetypes, he ended up filling in all the categories; becoming the most popular amongst Kismet. (Not that any of the members held anything against him for it.)
I just wanted to draw Floyd in bright neon colors!
⚠️Eyestrain warning just in case⚠️
This is going to be so stupid, I love it. XD
As much as I love Brozone working through stuff and having multiple heart to hearts, I want to see them having fun together as well. Branch adventuring and hanging out with four trolls who have similar sets of sarcasm and sass that he does? They cause absolute chaos and mayhem wherever they go. They would have so much fun together.
Okay, so, I've been reading the Princess Jellyfish (Kuragehime) manga, and… well.
Who wants me to draw Brozone like this? :D
★Go for it, don't be afraid of success.
★Ew, that's disgusting. No.
Thanks for vote! ;)
I love the explorations of Parentified John Dory, but I barely see anyone bringing up Parentified Branch. And I don’t mean the kind in Age Swap AUs.
As an oldest myself, I won’t disregard whatever responsibilities JD might’ve carried, since such expectations do fall upon the eldest the most.
Plus… they’re parents are never mentioned (and tbh I wish they were just dead in canon bc that would be a whole new can of worms)
But I think half the “taking care of them” crash outs was just their band gig and having to manage his brothers. I mean… Grandma Rosiepuff was there, you can’t tell me she didn’t do the raising part of the brothers (otherwise she’s just an unspoken asshole.)
Branch definitely experienced a much bigger parentification. He raised himself, built himself a home, prepared himself for the worse —I assume he taught himself self-defense and weapon crafting— and forced himself to grow up mentally.
He’s also the one carrying the group (or tries to, even when no one’s taking him seriously) whenever they’re going on a ‘mission’.
Calling it now! If they ever make a Trolls tv series of events taking place after Band Together: All the brothers are living in Branch’s bunker (Bruce not really, bc he has a family), and Branch is the one taking care of them. They’d occasionally help out, but also mess up because Branch has a whole system he works with, in his home. (Floyd being the one who frequently offers help).
