Unknowing to anyone who knows him, including his sister, when living in Under Rageous Veneer took the streets and took up a particular hobby… street racing.
Illegal? Definitely. Dangerous? You bet. Yet, growing up, something excited him at the cars and sounds of it all. Being the youngest top street racer ever, Veneer would take home cash. He wasn’t popular amongst other Rageons as he would win every single time. There solution, trying to rid him.
Unfortunately, he would also get hired to be a getaway driver. His skills were unmatched, especially in Under Rageous where the cars are not as advanced or high tech as you find above the cloud line.
Since his time in Mount Rageous and the absorption of Troll essence, his memories began to get foggy, blending fantasy with reality. Today, he’d probably deny he could’ve done anything like that… until he gets behind the wheel again.
Anybody just think about the Og concept of Trolls Band Together and realize just how angsty it would have been if they stuck with having Branch be the one kidnapped instead of switching to Floyd?
This idea is in no way original I've read a TON of fanfics that covers the Og concept, but I still can't help but reminisce over what could have been
It's just crazy to think that what Floyd went through- that could have been BRANCH. Our lil grumpy bear who just started learning how to be happy again and is now singing on the regular. Having the very thing he was hesitate to do for over 20 years be the thing that gets him kidnapped and almost killed??
Like imagine after that he's hesitant to sing again. The truama of his voice being used against him making it very hard for him to want to sing. Imagine his panic when he thinks he's done relapsed back into who he was before. having the desire to sing so badly but being so afraid that no matter how much he tries, he jsut can't sing. The nightmares, the white hair that refuses to leave, weak Limbs, all that good stuff to add onto the angst.
Ah man I love reading the fanfics that cover the og concept but it's always fun to think about it as well
Caregiver are the trolls that are in charge of running the compound making sure everything is running smoothly.
Caregivers are the only trolls who are trained in each aspect of every role
Children in the compound are broken up into groups that each caregiver is in charge of. These groups are called broods many caregivers are very protective of them. so much so that it’s almost impossible to separate them from their broods without losing an arm.
Scavengers are very active and always on the move. It’s almost impossible to get them to be still
Scavengers are usually out of the compound the most
All borrower trolls have learned to mimic animal sounds not just to go undetected by Bergens but also to communicate with each other
Defenders are the second most important trolls after caregiver trolls as they are split into two groups. One stays at the compound and the other goes with the scavengers or the rescuers
Trickee and hype have had many arguments about who gets to use the defenders usually settling it with a rock paper scissors
Defenders have taken down an entire Bergen before with the help of branch. The Bergen was a previous scullery maid who found them. (Definitely made chef more suspicious because she had already suspected something was in the walls)
The borrowers would tournament king gristle at night pretending to be the ghost of former trolls. (Kinda like in Toy Story)
While ablaze is a little scary for beginner trainees he’s actually really chill. Hype’s pretty strict when teaching but won’t be too hard on trainees. Boom is actually the most kind trainer. And Trickee is the most brutal trainer.
Each sector has their leader which is kismet but they also all have a second in command.
I was going to add more panels of a synchronized strangle attack by team broppy, but decided that enough was enough...
Anyhow here's how I think the battle at Mount Rageous should've gone, with the lovely happy trolls using the hair as weapons of destruction </3 I know that Branch is in his healing era but I still think he would've resorted to his more violent methods somehow (this time with Poppy's full support).
Also, the reason why Viva's still using the sticky hands is because of this one hc I saw that the Putt-Putt trolls lost the ability to stretch their hair due to malnutrition :D
