YESSSSS

I’m making a new Trolls fic called Different Path, Different Troll (I’m still workshopping the name).

The gist of it is:

Branch is worried about the safety of the village and sick of how he’s treated as an outcast. He doesn’t trust them to not lead a Bergen straight to Pop Village. Since his bunker won’t keep them safe permanently, he goes off to search for a new home that the bergens will not find. With an unexpected tag-along (Cooper), Branch encounters other trolls that he never knew existed. Some of these new trolls include a couple of well known bounty hunters.

Im still making the outline of the story, but I’m working on the first chapter. Hope I can get out the first chap in a week or so!! As per my last fic, I’ll have around 1,000 words per chap and my uploading schedule will be mostly random but at most I’ll have a chapter every 2-3 days.

Since I plan to add songs into my fic, I’ve created a Spotify playlist called “Different Path, Different Trolls” on my Spotify acc “Hookfang”. There you’ll see some songs that will potentially be added. It is not a definite list.

My AO3 acc is Brickory if you’d like to read my 2 other fics while you wait for my newest fic!!!

If they wanted Vi to think jinx is a monster

Then they should have focused on her relationship with Ekko and finds out that jinx blew him up.

Ekko is already gone,Vi doesn’t get the full story , just that jinx was more than ready to kill Ekko and almost did it. That she blew him up and he was injured., let Vi accept That jinx has been killing firelights for years and fully take it in, show us a scarred or handicapped firelight due to jinx , focus on the memorial which ones died on her hands.

This can push Vi to think jinx is a “monster” and even deepen her guilt as she “created” jinx (said by jinx herself) and all these dead people are because of her and it’s her responsibility to do something about it ( if something happens it’s on you ).

Having Vi go “jinx is a monster and powder is gone” and that character change happens offscreen after the memorial attack and bombing of the council , as if these were the pushing points, the councillors are corrupt and Vi knows that “fuck the council” “you’re gonna have to kill another trencher” so she shouldn’t be this moved by their deaths nor really care about them , she’s sad for Caitlyn sure and worried about the possibility of full scale attack , I can take that for her becoming an enforcer but not thinking jinx is a monster.

Personally, I think it's reasonable

-ish

Vi could be convinced to wear the uniform, but NOT in the way she was convinced in the show.

Who cares about her love for Ca*tlyn??

It shouldn't be a part of the process of Vi turning into an enforcer.

VI might love Ca*t, but she loved Powder/Jinx for far longer. Vi's relationship with Ca*t can't compare to her relationship with Powder/Jinx.

Her entire time in jail was spent thinking of getting back to her little sis. The fact that her sister changed so much would hurt her. Badly. But she still loved her sister even after seeing Jinx joyfully shoot at Firelights.

She "created" Jinx—that would be her main reason for going after her sister herself, but for becoming an enforcer? No. That being said. . .

She could be manipulated into thinking that becoming an enforcer was the only way to get rid of Jinx.

Ca*tlyn was the only person Vi could turn to. The undercity was no longer the home she used to know and her time in prison would make her attached to anyone who freed her from that hellhole (even if that person only did so to use her). However, Vi's love for Ca*t still wouldn't be the reason why she'd become an enforcer.

Ekko lived in a secret hideout and both Ca*t and Vi were kidnapped soon after they were supposed to go their separate ways. Vi would've gone back to Powder/Jinx and would've done her best to reach out to the Powder inside Jinx alongside Ekko.

But she didn't because Ca*t and her were kidnapped together and because they both witnessed Jinx bomb the council.

This results in Vi comforting Ca*t and feeling responsible for the grief Ca*t experiences. With the feelings they share and knowing Vi's knowledge of the woman who killed her mother, Ca*t would, and did, use her romantic relationship with Vi as a way to get revenge against her mother's murderer.

It's not Vi's love for Ca*t and the guilt of creating Jinx that leads her to become an enforcer, it's Vi's belief that there's no other way for her to stop Jinx's violence that leads Vi to wear the badge her family's killers wore.

But this belief is only had because Ca*t put it into her head. Ca*tlyn is an enforcer and wants to stop Jinx. Stopping Jinx isn't something only Ca*t wants to do though. The councilors also want to stop Jinx.

Jinx is lawless; those who enforcer the law should be the ones to stop her.

So, in Ca*t's mind, if Jinx is to be stopped, Vi needs to join the side of the law to stop Jinx.

This, of course, is NOT the only way to stop Jinx, but Ca*t believes it to be and could make Vi believe it as well because no one else is around to tell her otherwise.

Topsiders won't say that Vi's relationship with Jinx can stop her.

Enforcers won't speak up against violence against those from the undercity.

Ekko is elsewhere, unable to speak, unable to fight against Vi becoming the enemy.

Had Ekko been around, or had Vi simply not been around mostly Topsiders, she would've never become an enforcer.

No, instead she's surrounded by people who think that to stop a criminal, an enforcer is needed.

And that is what would've/should've been the reason that Vi became an enforcer.

Not because Jinx needs to be stopped, not because Vi loved Ca*t, not because Vi "knew" there was no other way to stop her sister, not because some cute enforcer girl wanted people like Vi on their side,

But because no one around her argued that there was another way to stop Jinx,

because Ca*t could tell her over and over and over again that she needed Vi to wear that pig skin to stop the woman who killed her mother to stop Jinx

and no one was around to back Vi up when she originally said no.

I need ya'll brain.

What's your opinion about Vi becoming an enforcer at the end of S2E1?

Do you think it's reasonable enough for her to pick the badge or do you think it's OOC? What do you think her line of thinking here?

I'm still indicisive about the topic so I need more insight. Any thoughts are welcomed.

Arcane Fandom Pet Peeve:

Trans Viktor and Cis Jayce

There's so many things wrong with fanon JayVik and one of those things is people's trans Viktor headcanons

Okay, okay hear me out—I don't fucking care that people have a right to headcanon whatever they want. I know some people have already pointed out that people can headcanon Viktor as trans if they please—which, yeah, I'm not gonna say "Hey, bitch! Viktor should be cis and Jayce should be trans!1!!1!", but I will say that I hate the reinforcement of hetero gender roles and the stereotypical trans man appearance.

What's the stereotypical trans man appearance you may ask? If you don't already know, it's white and skinny. (Don't try to fucking deny it) People will generally think of white queers more so than they do queers of color. Not only that, but they'll usually think of small and skinny when they think of trans men.

"UwU omg smol (white) boy KYAAA"

Bleh.

Trans men aren't all small. Plenty of trans men can be chubby, bulky, tall (or at least average fucking height and not like 4'11 with a snatched waist), etc etc. Additionally, afab parents in gay relationships aren't all automatically assigned the "mommy" role. I'm definitely more of the "mommy" type; however, I'm not small nor white and a large portion of trans men who want to be parents don't want to be thought of as "mommies" much less the "girl" in the relationship.

Gay relationships are gay for a reason!! Some relationships will have the masc and fem role, but not all!!! Not even in straight relationships will the smaller partner be fem/female or the bigger partner be masc/male.

I get why people headcanon Viktor as trans. If you're white, you'll automatically align yourself more with white characters and sort of toss aside characters of color. I hate it, but whatev. My main issue comes with people making Viktor trans AND giving him more feminine personality traits.

Neither Jayce nor Viktor needs to be the "girl" in their relationship!!!

But if you're gonna assign a "girl" in the relationship, why not let it be Jayce?

Not in the ironic sense where you make memes and laugh about pregnant Jayce, but in the unironic sense that you're making and liking scene redraws of male and female characters where Viktor takes the female character's place.

I know why of course. . . Doesn't mean I'm not still getting ticked off.

*trying to say i like a fictional character* yeah he activates my predator animal drive

POW POW 🤩

When your practically brother-in-law caught you and your girlfriend loving on each other some days ago and neither of you can say anything in front of the rest of the family so you two are just awkwardly staring at each other from across the dining table during a holiday family dinner:

There are stageplay levels of drama happening in what tumblr has decided to make my top 3 posts this evening.

Hey guyssssss I'm backkk
