I noticed something because of this gif
Clampers and Branch have a very similar if not the same skin color.
You know who else has similar skin as Branch
His brothers. But im specifically looking at John Dory right now
So therefore, Clampers has the same skin color as John Dory.
Now hear me out.
I love the headcanon about JD and Delta Dawn being exes or close to that. Absolutely adore the thought of them being young and in love.
I personally like to headcanon that JD passed through Lonesome Flats a year or two after leaving his brothers, and that something led to him staying a while. Maybe he accidentally broke some fences or other property and was forced by the then sheriff to fix them. Or maybe he got heat stroke or was injured out in the deserts and they allowed him to stay until he healed. Either way he ends up spending a bit of time with Delta Dawn, if she's already training to be next sheriff then it makes sence for her to keep an eye on the pop outsider. Over time JD starts to grow on the country trolls, they start to welcome him, and him and Delta start to fall for eachother. But then JD realizes just how deeply in love he is and it makes him panic. Maybe he gets it in his head that if he couldn't even be a good brother then he definitely cant be a good partner, and with his injuries healed/work finished he ends up leaving.
Honestly i love the possibilities for their ship. It can almost have a sorta Hallmark movie vibe and the potential angst that can come from JD still being hopelessly in love with Delta and her being bitterly still in love with him years later is perfect.
But
As much as i love Delta Dory
What if...
We had all that but instead, it was between JD and Delta's sibling.
What if when JD left, he unknowingly left Delta's sibling with an egg. An egg that hatched into Delta's little niece, Clampers.
Given Clampers' age, which i assume is at least 5, that would put the romance as being more recent. JD would have Rhonda and it makes sense if she accidentally caused the damage he has to fix.
But then the angst.
The fact that Delta seems to be Clampers' main caretaker suggests that ther sibling has passed away, thats one arrow through the heart.
Clampers being JD's daughter and he didn't even know. He missed her hatching, her first steps, her fist words, doesn't even know what color or patterns her egg was. Is he even capable of beimg a good dad? That's a few more arrows.
And Delta? She's gonna be real protective. This is her little niece, JD left her sibling heartbroken and she won't let him do the same to Clampers. If he could walk away once, he could do it again. Delta doesn't really want him to have a part in Clampers' life.
Oh or!
What if we kept everything and just changed Clampers to being Delta's Daughter rather than niece?
(Anyway thats it! That gif just had me thinking, especially when i noticed the matching skin.
And i admit to wanting to gush a little about Delta Dory, ive falling into another Trolls fixation era and a few fics have got me focusing on John Dory. Maybe I'll link a few in another post
Feel free to write or use any of the ideas, just tag me so i can read them.)

ran out of time for this one, but a little DawnDory/DeltaDory
based on the thought of "what if they had a good breakup?"
like it was mutual, John couldn't stay in the Flats since he dreamed of traveling and Delta couldn't leave because of her dreams and responsibilities keeping her in the Flats. So as much as they liked each other, they decided it was best if they just went there separate ways.
then John came back and fucked shit up.
