So Remember That Machete OG John Dory Had In The Movie...

pre-brozone

LOOK AT HIM!!!😭 This poor man is going to have so many back problems from all that trauma he’s carrying… Man’s needs a chiropractor. But for real, THIS IS SO COOL!!!

Just love my old man in this fic -> Great Decisions by @rydoesartandstuff

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

I don't know if you answered this already but what would great decisions John dory feel about Canon John dory?

The way this quote immediately popped into my head, and I HAD to draw it, tell me this wouldn’t be their dynamic…

Ok ok, I’m sorry, but ooooo this is interesting! Yeesh, uh… He might kinda… Have mixed feelings about the guy.

On one hand, I feel like Canon!JD has a lot of that cocky arrogance that GD!John Dory does not. And he defo would NOT appreciate nor approve of how he treats Branch, or how he acts like he did nothing wrong.

He could also be a bit jealous, deep down. Canon!JD still has a lot of issues, but he’s a lot more put together than GD!John Dory. It would probably be hard to see, an image of what he could’ve been (Not a great image, again, but somebody who appears to be doing a LOT better than him!) He’d see all his faults out in the open, which isn’t the most amazing thing to see.

But on the other hand… They have the same humor. They have similar childhoods, and I’ll bet they could at least chat a bit and form some sort of bond. (Can defo see Canon!JD being like “Dude, bro, I don’t say this lightly, but I think you need like, professional help”😂)

But at the end of the day, I’ll bet the word GD!John Dory would use to describe him would be… Frustrating.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH?! THAT SAD LITTLE MAN!? MY SHAYLA😩🙌🙏 ALSO HICKORY MY BELOVED STOP IM DYING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

Great decision sketches :P

I finished watching Trolls World Tour and a thought occurred to me: Branch’s fight with Poppy after being evacuated from the Funk Trolls’ spaceship. Will John Dory try to break the fight up or will he have a flashback of his brothers fighting then leaving, causing him to have a panic attack? Unless he gets separated from them like what happened to Hickory, then he’d try to find Branch and Poppy. But what if he finds Branch alone and hears him singing “Perfect for Me?” Would he be sad or worried? Sorry. I’m rambling too much. I guess I’m still worried about John Dory….

You are right to be worried for that man😂

I can’t reveal too much, just spoiler wise, but I love your ideas!!! JD would definitely have some trouble with seeing Poppy and Branch fighting, especially if Branch ran off after. And finding him singing “Perfect for Me”? Breaks my heart😭

Regardless of how it plays out, I like the way you think! And stay worried for that poor man😈

If John Dory, Branch, Poppy, and Rhonda are on the raft with Hickory, then I’m gonna assume that it’s only a matter of time until Chaz the Smooth Jazz Troll makes his “smooth” debut.

Oho, and “debut” he will! Really excited for the next chapter, it’ll be fun😈

Follow up I also think we should let John Dory kill someone. It would be good for the economy.

“Great Decisions” John Dory if he was allowed to kill someone, or multiple someones:

JD laughing because why not

don’t really care for his design if I’m being honest, definitely gonna dabble in some other stuff to get it right— might draw his brothers in the future

I hope u guys don't mind me posting these au doodles while I work on things ahaha

I also gave JD slightly longer hair in these doodles as a funny haha but I don't think it's funny anymore he looks genuinely good with his hair like that ahahaha I hope you're not mad at me for changing his au design a bit
