Branch's parents getting eaten is great angst but might I propose
“I remember when you hatched-” John Dory began.
“What day was it?” Branch asked.
“What?”
“What was the date?” Branch didn’t remember the exact date. He’d only been five when his Grandma was eaten, he hadn’t paid much attention to numbers back then. He knew it was the middle of winter.
“Uh, it was winter. The middle of winter. Right after Mom and Dad. That would have been…” John fumbled. Clay did some quick mental math.
"Twenty-four years ago?”
Wow so they didn’t remember the exact date either.
“Wow that’s, that’s longer than I thought’d been.” Bruce said, looking at the Branch with new eyes.
Floyd shook his head and corrected,
“It’s been twenty three. He hatched the week after Mom and Dad left. It was in the new year.”
“Woah, woah woah woah woah woah. Left? As in not eaten?”
Everyone went still and silent.
“Grandma… didn’t ever tell you?” Clay asked.
“Wh- no! They weren’t eaten by a Bergan?”
“No.”
“A bird?”
“No?”
“A Tarantupuff?!”
“No- is that what you’ve thought?”
“Well yeah! I might have been five but I could tell they were a sore subject so I never brought them up!" Branch shouted, chest heaving and expression distressed.
“Branch, hon, breathe. Calm down.” Poppy said, arms raised slightly, as if she were approaching a frightened animal.
“No! No. I just found out that leaving me behind is a family trait, I am allowed to freak out about it!”
Poppy looked stricken and then corrected herself.
“You’re right, you are completely right. Sorry, old habits.”
“Why did they leave?” He asked, looking back at his brothers.
Floyd checked to see if any of his brothers were going to respond.
Of course they weren’t.
As much as Floyd hated it, he had started to understand his parents better as he got older. They thought they were done raising kids. Floyd was practically a teenager when Branch’s egg came along. They could see freedom and Independence just a few years off and then, suddenly, they had to give their all to another kid for another eighteen years.
“They loved you Branch, really they did. It’s just that kids are a lot of work. Trollings are even more work. And Trolls, trolls just wanna have fun.”
Branch staggered back. Rather than assured and comforted like Floyd had intended, he looked stricken. He whispered,
It took a lot of time for Rosiepuff to get used to Rowan as a whole, nothing personal, he’s just truly something
I totally left an easter egg on this comic hope someone notices it and yeah the angst it’s coming back on the next one, well I don’t know if It counts as angst but it follows the present story line.
It's here! The beginning of the fancomic that I've been making for a few months now. I started planning this thing almost a year ago, and I am so excited to finally be sharing it. I'll make a proper dedicated side-blog for it later. Next couple pages drop in a week :)
Edit: Updated Navigation tools. Also, there is a side-blog now @heretherebeturtles-comic (it's still empty)
To clarify, ROTTMNT Restored is taking Kevin Ortiz's amazing boards and adding this treatment to it. Apologies if folks were confusing it with another project.
Also I have a question. Are you planning to do trolls family tree?
I haven't thought of it but I am now! 😆 That's a good idea!
CLIVA HEADCANONS ⛳ 💛💚
Clay has a 'Viva Sense'. His ear twitches in advance when she's about to burst through a door. Starts happening when Poppy is coming too? 😂
Viva moves into Peppy's pod after their reunion. When Clay wants to live with Viva in their own pod, Viva is conflicted. Clay moves in with her AND Peppy. 💕 Clay and Peppy become buddies. 🤭
Clay has drafts for his own book series. Viva is the only one who has read them. 📚
Clay let's Viva braid his hair whenever she wants but will outright ask for one when he needs to really focus and doesn't want his hair in the way.
When they arrived at the Hole n Fun. They kept the frozen concession stand food for celebrations and emergencies. Besides that, the only thing they had to eat was wild clover and sunflower seeds. If Clay found a four leaf clover 🍀 he would save it and give it to Viva to keep her spirits up.
Viva made Clay co-leader when she gave up on waiting to be saved and found that Clay was already making sacrifices for the colony and implementing long term settlement plans. (He was saving some of his rationed sunflower seeds and was planting them to grow more sunflowers)🌻
They trust eachother the most in the world. 🌎
The Putt-Putt Trolls were the original Cliva shippers. 💕
