Hold onto your Stetson, @ohposhers; have I got some personal HickDory lore for you 😎💜🌟🫧

Excuse the insanity for those who don't feel compelled towards these two

SO!

Hickory and JD met a few good years before the events of the World Tour when Dory was traveling to find Lonesome Flats, got heatstroke and passed out in the desert. Wakes up to Hickory shadowed in the flickering light of a campfire beneath a canopy of the brightest stars he'd seen since the Neverglades, but it wouldn't be until QUITE a few months later until they really started developing crushes against each other. (Cowboy under the stars, you'd think he'd fall right then and there, right? 🌟)

Why was Hickory already in Lonesome Flats, you might ask? Where was Dickory?

In a glue trap, I say in response. Hickory came from Yodelsberg (is there a canonical name for this?) for international study and to learn about new music. He fell in love with country because yodeling and country music are actually quite gorgeous together. She Taught Me to Yodel, anyone?

Delta Dawn obviously didn't take to Dory showing up and around the town, but after some convincing by Hickory and lots of proving himself (plus a vulture attack that resulted in John Dory saving the very young niece of Delta Dawn- Clampers-) he 'earned' a place there and began to work around town.

It was weird for him.

He'd never quite settled down, until then.

(Now, the specific timeline, yearly I mean is a little muddled because I'm still crafting this, but I'll put them out about three years, now.)

John Dory was still living in Lonesome Flats, and he'd started a relationship with Hickory. They loved each other, as my cohort in crime @protagonist-art (CHECK OUT THEIR ART I LOVE THEM SM MUAH) has Hickory tell John when we get write them, "More than the moon loves the ocean." As surely as the tide pulls in and out, so the lovers return to each other.

So Via, what does Hickory think about BroZone?

Oh, my sweet star.

He doesn't know.

After returning to the devastated Troll Tree, John Dory lost a piece of his heart in the damaged pod they used to live in. It was the first time he went grey, and the memories of his brothers started shifting from what was, to what would never be again. He couldn't find it within himself to talk about them, and has his secrets.

But so does Hickory.

Girl wdym stop being so mysterious.

Heh. I know. It's just a glimpse into my dark mind /ref. Anyways, Hickory never told John Dory he was a Yodeler troll. (Another piece of lore that Quizzy and I worked on together and I think it's brilliant.)

Huh? Aren't they in a long-term relationship? Won't this cause issues later on if they don't share these things with each other?

Oh, they love every aspect of each other too much for their bond to truly be broken.

And yet.

One morning, years after just living and loving, John Dory wakes up with a massive headache and nausea.

"Maybe it's that horse that kicked me yesterday, could've gotten me harder than we both thought."

"Lemme check for a knot, Darlin'."

No knots, but there was an egg.

🌟 (Here I'll say that I'm massively in love with the headcanon that trolls conceive through true love- it isn't quite necessary for them to physically do anything unless they want to. Just them, wholeheartedly trusting and putting everything into their relationship and pouring their heart out to their partner.)

They were absolutely ECSTATIC, and rightfully terrified in their own ways. Neither of them were looking for children but not against it, and after resting for a few days they began to plan. A nursery in the house, baby books with millions of names scattered on the coffee table, toys and cute little baby clothes for when the little one hatched.

Wanna know two of the names John Dory had in mind? Rhonda and Dolly.

They were ecstatic until the night John Dory woke up absolutely ill and with a pit in his stomach.

They lost the egg, and it was the second time John Dory went grey in his life.

A week after this had happened, John Dory left a bundled lock of his hair at Hickory's nightstand and did what he knows how to do all too well. He ran.

Hickory never went too far out of Lonesome Flats in the hopes that John Dory would come back. He couldn't imagine what would happen if his love came back and didn't find him there.

The events of World Tour come about, Hickory meets Branch, and travels for the first time since John Dory left.

John Dory continued to travel, until the events of Band Together.

But don't worry, dear readers, for as surely as the tides come in, so will the lovers meet again. 🌟

Aaaand BOOM! That's it! 💜 I've got lore behind the names Rhonda and Dolly as well, and am SO down to answer any questions about them that anyone has. For you, Posh, thank you for asking and helping me to share a story I've been working on, and for everyone else that read this, thank you kindly! I hope that everyone who made it this far has quite a lovely day, or if you didn't, have a lovely day anyways!

Remember to take your meds, drink water, eat something, and stretch!

Having the mental imagery of John Dory in his early 20s hiking somewhere and sleeping in a cave after a long day

And then a soft 'ping' along with bright blue light illuminates the long shadows of the crevices and glittering stalagmites. He shoots up and looks around for someone to hug-

And realizes he's all alone.

Anyways that's what's on MY mind n I might write something soooon after I get out the other 20 million things in my head rn 💜🌟🫧

Breakdances in here; I wanted to share a blurb I wrote based off of this heartwrenching post by @tea0w0stache. Go look at their Crystal JD au- it's wonderfully painful. (Why did we as a collective JD fangroup say let's make his life worse? It's a hashtag mystery.)

Crimp wasn't going to encourage his rescue. She was a part of this, but hearing how broken and weak the frail troll's voice was made her heart break. Even by just a little.

The hair creature slowly, carefully made her way to the bottle, and hesitantly rested a hand on the cool glass. She tilted her head, reflections of a balled JD shining in her glasses.

"I-I'm sure they will?" Her voice tapered into a squeak, and Dory couldn't help but flinch at the response.

He turned his head slightly, just enough for Crimp to see his dull, greying eyes. A slow, shake of his head, and a sad chuckle followed.

"Y' just don't get it. I left them once. If anything..."

He turned his head slightly, just enough for Crimp to see his dull, greying eyes. A slow, shake of his head, and a sad chuckle followed.

"Y' just don't get it. I left them once. If anything..."

He paused as shocks of pain rippled through his spine and arms.

Let out a sharp whine, tail wrapping its way around his body as a sad form of a hug.

He caught his breath, and spoke again.

"If anything, I deserve this. They're obviously happier without me."

Two words: trolls nest.

New headcanon that when they're going to have an egg, the carrier will take all the blankets and pillows plus soft items from their partners and build them in the warmest parts of the house, so they can later cuddle with their partner and egg without having to worry about its temperature dropping too low.

(And now for my HickDory take, when John Dory eventually has Dolly's egg-they end up with two kids, Dolly and Arthur- he builds nests EVERYWHERE in his and Hick's house and it's like a laundry basket exploded everywhere. But on the bright side, that means he and Hick can cuddle with their egg for a while yet 🥺🥺🥺.)

Loosely based off a post I wrote about JD missing out on Hug Time a month or so back.

🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟💜

He was going to crush it.

John Dory raised the rock high above his head, tapping against the muddy mineral nervously as he prepared himself for what he was about to do.

And just as he was about to swing it down, the flower on his hug time bracelet unfurled and pinged, a bright blue color so similar to Branch's that it startled John Dory; the rock slipped from his hands and fell into the puddle beside him.

The troll stared at the glowing bracelet, and reached out a hand to circle the flower hesitantly. Its petals shivered and brightened, making John Dory tear up. He used to do that to Branch's to entertain his baby brother, or just to hear him *laugh.*

And now, because of his stupidity, John Dory might never hear that laugh again.

The troll picked up the bracelet in ginger hands, cradling it to his chest. He enclosed it, heart crumbling along with his face. And he sobbed.

Girlfailure John Dory, age 22. Doodled him at work so pardon the messiness and how unfinished he looks but wanted to share :]

(And yes, the grayness is intentional from his first time greying over. Graying. One of those, hah!)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all who celebrate, my lovely friends! 💜🌟🫧

HEEHEE Dolly now has a voice claim,,, it's Tilly from Big City Greens!

youtube

Also since I'm here, fun facts about Dolly!

🌟 @quizzyy and I decided to give her the same tail malformation we gave Hickory, which is just a tail that hangs like a country troll's but doesn't work too well for them. She LOVES it though, and puts little butterfly clips and fake pearls on it/lets Poppy decorate it and brushes it a lot

🌟Yodels, and is learning German. (John Dory is as well, but Dolly picked it up faster than he did so she can run her mouth in TWO languages.

🌟Something tells me she's a plaid girlie. Mostly skirts with a lot of frilly shirts, and a bandana or little cowboy hat to match Hickory. She hates the goggles but likes to steal and hide them to mess with Dory.

🌟LOVES Poppy and will do anything with her. Scrapbooking? Yes. Singing? Yes. Cooking? Yes, but she gets to have a handful of sugar. Just one. If she won't listen to her dads, or her uncles, she'll listen to Poppy. Poppy also teaches her a lot about using her hair since she keeps it pulled back and it needs to be tighter/in a scrunchie to concentrate and use it. (There's a post out there about Poppy being disabled and I am SO here for it,,, if I can find it I'll link it!)

Aaaaand that's about it for now. But Dolly Nation rise up 👊🤠👊

(Sorry to tag you twice in one day but pspsps @ohposhers >:]) 💜🌟🫧
