most kisses are initiated by poppy, so when branch gets to do it first it's an immediate 100% critical hit on poppy.
branch needs to hype himself up internally because he gets flustered overthinking things too much. his success rate at initiating kisses is much higher when he's swept up in the moment!
Branch rolling his eyes and smiling right after bc Poppy is fangirling too much is everything. Love that they don't have him being jealous like in the previous movies, now he just loves that she's such a big fan of them and he rolls with it
Uuuhhmmmm AU where instead of coping the incredible way he did in the films, out of desperation to be feel happiness again Branch takes a page out of the Bergans’ book…
So yeah. C@nnibal AU 💀 can’t believe I just typed that but here we are.
Branch is far less sociable than even in the first movie with poppy still being the only one to attempt to reach out to him. It’s only after Creek never returns from his spiritual retreat Poppy starts to notice something is up.
I figure it works in an addiction type way, how after a while in order to get the same high you need more of the substance. So where at first a troll could last a good month or so, dwindles down to weeks and even days. But if there’s one thing Branch is good at, it’s being ignored.
And even after Poppy discovers it’s Branch, he’s manipulated her to the point she doesn’t immediately tell others what’s going on. In this or perhaps another separate au of this, Branch tricks Poppy into eating troll as well, now incriminating her as well as influence. It all really just becomes a game of revenge after a point.
You know what would be funny? If mr dinkles from trolls is the TRUE Villan cause I'd be laughing so hard. Mr Dinkles would be an amazing plot twist of an villain if you think about it cause when he was close to the brink of death in world tour there was an bigger mr dinkle so like... Like imagine him as an god Villan like worm cause that would be an whole other level I'd make an whole essay later about how he'd be an amazing villain >:D
I love seeing the way Branch handles all of Poppy's energy. He's so chill with it because for him, that what makes her special. Even when she gets a little too much, he gently calms her down. They are so sweet!!!
The first impression Branch's brothers had with Poppy was how energetic she was. I can just imagine finding out your now VERY SARCASTIC, RUDE (only to them) brother was dating a VERY happy, energetic person. Not to mention she's THE QUEEN OF POP!!
THE WAY BRANCH LOOKS AT POPPY THOUGH!!! You can TELL they are in love. I love the little quips they make throughout the movie, it really helps people (and me) get an idea of how they act in a day to day basis together.
