Hickory Trolls - Blog Posts

No one:

My brain: uhhhh Hickory slapping Gust with a giant fly swatter...

hi tumblr! fun fact about my trollsona, is that they used to be much brighter and more eye-catching like poppy and the others, kind of like this but better colour-picked.

what happened? well after being raised by the funk trolls half of their life, they got curious, stepped outside, got bullied by some snooping rock trolls, and lost their way. they couldn't find the funk-ship (as i like to call it) after that.

they quickly paled in colour as they realized what the world around them had come to, almost greying at some points; but eventually they accidentally found the pop troll village and were forcibly welcomed to stay.

then they slipped away on their own to meet branch, and everything else goes down from there- (they're still prone to greying temporarily any point, though in the first movie when poppy and the others greyed, they didn't.)

so basically they're like the opposite of branch; instead of brightening if any positive emotion comes along, they dull further if any negative emotion comes along, even going as far as greying temporarily sometimes.

also yes they were born a pop troll technically, however they were generously raised by king quincy and queen essence; and also found out pretty early on that because of the way they were born, they physically cannot sing (because it hurts their throat). soo yeah, quiet pop-funk troll who can't sing and makes mixtapes and the occasional original beat. and is basically branch's perfect non-biological sibling- (and is also shipped with hickory because i cannot resist that man.)

Between a Rock and a Hard Place - The Yodelers

For @burningmusicfunnygiant, I had read the fanfic that @kittyball23 had written which burningmusicfunnygiant requested. It's a Trolls World Tour au that Floyd, Branch's older brother appears in, where Floyd joins Queen Barb and the Hard Rock Trolls as Queen Barb wants to unite the Troll nation under Rock.

Floyd is against it as he knows the consequences of uniting the other Troll tribes under one music genre as he left the Hard Rock Trolls and help Queen Poppy and Branch to stop Queen Barb.

Part 1

Part 2

Summary: After, Poppy explained her regrets for not listening to the others to her new ally, Hickory. Hickory's true identity gets revealed as Poppy gets captured by Barb's henchwomen along with Floyd, who got captured offscreen.

The Pop string jingles its magic and the magic riff echoes, Hickory's eyes widen before telling Poppy "Poppy, take the string and run as fast as you can. You hear me?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Poppy asked "Trust me, just go" Hickory replied as his back legs began to move "Now! Please! Just go!" he exclaimed as grunting was heard. Poppy is confused about what's going on "Hickory, are you all right?" she asked. "I'm fine," Hickory replied as his back legs continued to struggle.

"Hey. Hey, now! Stop that!" Hickory said to his back legs as he began fighting them "Oh, whoa, whoa!" he exclaimed as another set of arms popped out this shocked Poppy. Hickory's front legs and back legs split apart from each other as Poppy screamed.

The back legs turned around revealing to be another troll "Nein! What are you doing, Hickory!?!" he asked as he charged at Hickory, but Hickory stopped him by putting his hand on the other troll's head "Quiet, Dickory!" he said to him, which is the other troll's name.

"What's going on?" Poppy asked as Hickory turned his attention to the Pop Troll Queen "Hickory?" she added. "I am so sorry" Hickory replied with a guilty expression as Dickory stops "Yeah! Show her who you really are, Hickory!" Dickory exclaimed as he removed Hickory's Country attire to reveal a German attire. Dickory begins yodeling then stops as Hickory vocalizes as he slowly removes his cowboy hat to reveal another hat with a large feather.

Poppy comes to a realization "Wait...You're The Yodelers?" she exclaimed as Dickory chuckles "Yeah! Ya darn skippy, playa-play" he replied "And you were gonna give our string to Barb?" Poppy added "Ding, ding. Give this person a strudel for the correct answer!" Dickory retorted as Poppy turns to Dickory "And you've been in back the whole time?" she asked. Dickory had removed his disguise "Next subject, please" he said as he didn't want to answer Poppy's question as he kicked his disguise away and crossed his arms.

Poppy turns her attention to Hickory "Why would you do this?" she asked as she is hurt by this revelation. Hickory felt guilty for lying to Poppy "So, sorry" Hickory replied in a German accent, which is his real voice "Uh, it was the only way to save our beautiful yodeling" he explained sympathetically as Dickory approaches him "Hickory" he said.

"But trust me, you need to get out of here right away" Hickory urged as Dickory is confused by Hickory's actions "What are you doing, Hickory?" he asked as Dickory grabs the end of string "Nein - Dickory" Hickory replied as he grabs the middle part of the string as the three trolls began to do a tug-a-war "Shut your mouth-hole, please!" Dickory retorted as he got irritated by Hickory's protest "Let go!" Poppy shouted "We must save yodeling!" Dickory protested.

"Stop it!" Poppy said as two female hard rock trolls appeared as they grabbed Poppy "Got you!" one of them said, causing Poppy to let go of the string. "I thought I heard a yodel," Barb said, who was leaning against a bike bug. Poppy turned around and saw the Hard Rock queen "Queen Barb" she said.

Barb grabs the string from Dickory as she tugs it as pop music is heard causing Poppy to gasp "The final notes of Pop. It will never invade anyone's brain again" Barb said as she wraps the string around her wrist. "I'm not gonna let you do this!" Poppy exclaimed as Barb turned her attention to Poppy and saw the Pop Queen for the first time. "This is who I've been worried about? This little pipsqueak?" Barb exclaimed "I'll never stop fighting until I make things right and I'm not a pipsqueak!" Poppy replied.

"Uh yeah you are, because I'm like a whole centimeter taller than you" Barb said as Poppy struggles "Leave me alone!" Poppy shouted as she tried to kick Barb "Leave you alone? Uh, I'm sorry. You are the one who was all desperate to be best friends" Barb replied as she showed Poppy the burned card before tossing it away. "Don't try to intimidate me. Floyd told me about you" Poppy exclaimed "Ah, Floyd. Of course. My fellow rockers and I ran into him, and I don't want him to warn you about us coming" Barb explained as another hard rock troll appeared restraining Floyd. Floyd was tied up and gagged as he struggled to free from his captor’s grip, Poppy gasped at the sight of this as she and Floyd glared at Barb “Get your hands off of us!” Poppy exclaimed.

“Oh, okay, all right, you’re feisty, I respect that. Strong woman to strong woman am I right? Especially Floyd. You seem to change since I met you” Barb exclaimed as she crossed her arms “But, you know who else is feisty?” she asked as Poppy and Floyd stared at Barb “Pop Village” Barb replied as Poppy gasped “Oh no! No!” Poppy cried as Floyd began to struggle and muffled in protest.
