Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlethems, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the scene that made my already fragile heart burst into heavier sobs at the theater and continues to make me cry every time I see it.
Introducing, ✨️Kismet✨️
And because I'm nice, you get Branch, Poppy, and Co. singing "Family", enjoy!!
In this au branch was taken by chef instead of his grandmother fortunately he was able to escaped captivity and now lives inside the castle walls like a borrower! He slowly made a home there and helped free any trolls he came across which led to a small group of trolls following him this group is known as kismet! Over time their small community grew into a colony, secretly hiding away in the place where Bergman’s would least expect them.
I bet in this au, branch would've kept in touch with his former band Kismet and probably visited branch when they had the chance. And during their visits branch taught them sign language. I wonder how they would've reacted to branch being muted, but shocked that he's slowly talking/singing again. Or are they super protective of branch when brozone tries to get him (forcefully) to speak to them. I'm pretty sure brozone would be jealous/possessive of their brother (trying to make up for lost time). Or brozone being completely jelly of branch's new band family and support system.
Kismet and Branch were friends in the beginnings of kindergarten and have performed a few times before Branch went gray. They tried to be there for him, but their parents kept pulling them away when the rumor of gray trolls infecting other trolls began circulating. By the time they became adults, Branch completely isolated himself and wouldn't respond to their attempts of reconnection.
After the first movie, Branch was the one who approached them, apologizing for not acknowledging them. They started slow in redeveloping their friendship, but it’s worth it.
When Branch was being shunned for not forgiving Creek, they all openly shunned the rest of the trolls, especially Poppy. Going as far as canceling any performance they had agreed before hand.
When Branch came back from the events of World Tour, he wanted to start performing with them again. They all excitedly began practicing together again, reminiscing about the times they first started singing together.
Now that Brozone is back, they're going to keep a close eye on them. Kismet may not be a part of the Branch Guard (which is critters only by order of Mr. Dinkles) they will do whatever it takes to make sure he feels safe and happy
