not to be like weird about it but my coworker was constantly talking to me about omo related things yesterday to the point where I was genuinely getting flustered at the shit they were saying and I can only hope they thought my face was so red from the laughter I was forcing to cover it up and nothing else 😭
Highlights included
- several minute long ramble where they debated the effectiveness of standing and moving around vs sitting and crossing their legs when desperate. Concluded sitting “was the best option right now”
- casually mentioning they wet themselves earlier in the week. Gave details unprompted.
- casually mentioning that they sometimes can’t tell if they need to pee or not so they press on their bladder. Demonstrated. Concluded they needed to pee.
Bonus: lamented about accidentally swiping left on a girl with a shirt that said “piss” on tinder. Called them their dream girl?? Said they also have a piss shirt????????
Like dude peace and love but you cannot do that to me!! Why are you telling ME all this?? I promise I’m not the person you wanna be telling this man. We aren’t even *like that* or anything but they can’t just say shit like that and expect me to not get kinda flustered about it 😭

Anybody else notice how the Entity is getting not only more complex with every update, but also more and more alive? To the extent that it can now get up and walk? To the extent of implied organs, implied magic? And meanwhile, coincidentally, Grian seems to be losing his sense for his own durability. Stood right there and took a hit from a trident thrown straight up, expecting to live, but didn’t. The surprise in his voice when Keralis was able to take him out in one punch. Having less health than he expected to have is becoming a trend...except for that time in front of the Rift.
“...I didn’t die?”
You know. The last near-death incident before the over-estimations started happening.
Debt is a powerful, powerful thing. Perhaps the Rift, and the Entity it spawned, know that. Perhaps that loan of life to Grian was the permission they needed to start taking back their due - slowly, of course, so that he never quite notices.
Slowly, of course, one sip of life at a time, so that the thing at the other end of the straw can feed in steady peace. Because debt and deals might rule the eldritch, but equivalent exchange rules nature, and the Entity is above all else both. Life cannot simply spring from nothing, not without cause, not without fuel. Grian is the reservoir of life that the Entity is pulling from. As it grows, he depletes.
Maybe the Rift is a conduit, the pipe for the transfer to take place - or maybe it’s the mastermind, or an impassive observer, or hey, maybe it’s just a coincidental tear like any other tear. Randomness is a law of nature too. But the idea that the Entity’s growth will be capped by how much life and power is left to be pulled from Grian is terrifying in MULTIPLE ways and I’ll be turning it over in my brain for the rest of the day at least

Frankie trying to tell Sam via email she won't be able to finish modifying his rifle for another week because she doesn't have enough materials. But she accidentally hits send too quickly:
Hi Sam,
I am afraid
Sam responding to her email by showing up 10 minutes later with 4 of every item on the Chunks menu:
"Be not afraid. I have snacks and nowhere to go. Cora selected a movie for us, though she passed on watching it because she wants to watch something scary...and that felt inappropriate to... invite you... why are you laughing?"
"You didn't read the follow-up email, did you?"
"Follow-up?"
"You know what, Sam? I am afraid. Terribly afraid. Just downright fearful. And I think I need to watch the children's movie Cora picked while we stuff our faces with Chunks."
"That is excellent. I have never seen My Girl. I can't wait!"
--later that night--
Sam is sobbing his eyes out and begging Frankie to never go near bees. Frankie is also sobbing and promising to never go near bees. Neither of them knows wtf a bee is.

EXPLOSIVE KINGDOMS questions
did creek find them after the events of the first movie or is it different?
why does creek tell the putt putt trolls everyone is dead if it does takes place after the move?
how did clay and viva take the fact both branch and poppy are dead?
do you think clay also believed floyd is also dead seeing as he left before clay and clay lived in isolation will no idea if floyd left after him?
what inspired you to make this au?
i have more questions but i think this will cover most of what im questioning and also give me more questions i can ask later
FINALLY SOMEONE ASKS THE REAL QUESTIONS AROUND HERE! Been waitin for this one, have a timeline goin on my phone and everything OKAY SO!-
Creek finds them about 1 month after the first movie (a bit after World Tour starts. keep in mind the Putt Putts were isolated completely so they have no knowledge of the rockpocolypse n all that). Instead of the usual canon ending, Creek actually leads the Bergens to Pop Village as usual and ends up escaping in the chaos of the capturing of Trolls, running into the forest and essentially leaving them all for dead
2. So to answer ur second question with the first, its because Creek HIMSELF believes them to be dead! He assumes he saved only himself by leading Chef to Pop Village, and ends up telling Viva just that, fudging the story a bit to make him look sympathetic and the "only survivor of a tragic capture"
2.5 (To follow that up, he essentially tells Viva he and his village were captured by Bergens (true), but that he was the only one who managed to escape by the skin of his teeth and has been alone ever since. he paints himself as a victim entirely to avoid being denied entry to the village)
3. Here's the thing with the Putt Putts. In my mind, i've always hc'd that everyone HOPED the other Trolls were alive but...that was just hope. Everyone actually BEING alive was a pipe dream in their minds after the cave in. They believe the cave in extended to the entirety of the tunnel, not just their end, so they believe the entire Pop Tribe that were ahead of them are dead. Clay has a sobering realization he was right all along, and Viva is stone cold anger.
Learning her people were still out there, still being hunted, and eaten, it lights a fire in her heart.
This is the spark that begins the Putt Putt's aim for an all out war. So at least for this AU, the Putt Putts always believed the other Trolls were dead from the start.
4. While yes his brothers did leave, Clay had no idea WHERE they left. The only brother he has doubts on if he's dead is John Dory, seeing as he left for the mountains, and even then no one's a perfect survivalist. Who knows if he made it?
In my mind (and canon for this specific AU), the leaving order went JD immediately, then Spruce a few days later, Clay a couple weeks after that, and finally Floyd leaving Baby Branch with Grandma. Having it happen so immediately in the movie doesnt really sit right with me for this situation? So I wanted it spaced out
Clay has no idea where Floyd went. Hes got no clue hes on a "solo career". So he assumes he stayed with Branch and that they're both gone. Along with the unknown place of Spruce and the potential of what the mountains did to JD...
There are five planted flowers behind the Admin Building. One for each of his brothers, and one for his grandmother who he assumes died in the tunnels as well.
5. Honestly? And ur gonna laugh but aside from my general love of dramatic AUs and the idea of Clay being an arsonist making me laugh one night, I got tipped over the edge...CAUSE I FOUND THIS ANIMATIC-
AND ITS SO GOOD
the actual animatic (while being incredible amazing tasty spectacular) didnt inspire me, the SONG did. the idea of Viva singing the first half while her Putt Putts charge into Bergentown-
"In all of my years of living, it isn't very often that I get this far-
I try to chill with the waves...but damn, you've crossed the line~"
"I've been so gracious! And yet you hurt the people of mine!
That's right, the Trolls that you made die...were mine."
(with a lil tweaking to make it fit)
While Clay's under the city rigging things up cornered by Poppy and Branch trying to make him stop this and just-
"You are the worst kind of good, 'cause you're not even great." (aimed at Poppy)
"The Queen, who reeks of false righteous, that's who I HATE!"
"Because you fight to save lives, but can't kill, and won't keep us all safe.
I mean, you totally could've avoided all this, had you just ended them...
But no."
"You are far too nice! Mercy has a price!"
LIKE THERES A VIBE HERE (obviously this isn't what'll happen im still ironing out details but this was my inspo :) That and Persona 5 Tactica that game's all about revolution)
I would say, keep in mind, this scenario would take place after finding out that yes the other Trolls are still alive, but now Viva and the Putt Putts are committed to completing with they started for those they lost to Trollstice's before them. They WANT revenge. Why should they have to play nice? Why should THEY forgive the consumption of their people? That kinda vibe :)
AND WHATEVER ELSE U WANNA ASK IS TOTALLY FINE! Send questions as u think of em! :D This AU isn't entirely complete quite yet, so these asks help me really nail down what details I want or at least see things written out and get some good feedback! :D
