Woah what's that who drew that woah
Wrote out so much stuff so I can work on my self indulgent Life is Strange True Colors AU...I think I will call this one my Haven Springs AU! In this AU there's no kings/queens, and I'm basically inserting these characters into the True Colors story while changing a couple things here and there in the story/character relationships. Name of the town stays the same.
And this summary doesn't contain anything thats really a spoiler for the game so, here's what I got so far.
Poppy has unexplained powers, she can read minds, feel others' emotions, and even take them away. After being separated from her sister for 8 years, Poppy shows up to a small mountain town called Haven Springs to start her new life, and catch up with Viva as well as see where she's put down roots. Branch is a Park Ranger as well as a part time bartender at the Tavern, and Barb is the town's local radio host and musician with big dreams. Poppy meets these two while visiting the town's local record shop. Poppy eventually becomes close to them both (I will be exploring both of their romantic paths, BranchxPoppy, and BarbxPoppy) And each of them learn about her powers and what she can do. Angst warning: Her time with Viva is cut short when Viva is lost to an accident she couldn't be saved from, and everyone is left reeling. Poppy, with the help of her friends, uses her power to find the truth behind her sister's passing as well as coming to terms with her own past. And along the way, she falls in love and realizes there IS a home and future for her after all.
AAAAAND that's all I got so far. I think I'll make Creek the owner of the Tavern? And he and Branch are actually buddies in this one. And maybe I'll throw Clay in this one too. Idk! This may end up just being a crossover post and no more but I know I'm gonna be invested in making more lmfao.
Brain worms brain worms bye
This is so Broppy coded to me don't ask me why
I went to Universal Studios again yesterday for a moment since it's basically right next door to me, and I'm always hunting for new Trolls merch. Aside from maybe 3 plush, a play set, and the small range of Dreamworks Land merch...there really isn't much!! And they need to change that please I'm begging.
I did notice this silly and fun little headband tho. I wish they made one with the character heads on it for Poppy, they only have them for Shrek and Po for some reason 🤷♀️
Anyway, in a week I'm going back so maybe I'll have confidence then to show Branch and Poppy my tattoo 🤣
I'm a dedicated Fortnite player don't look at me.
But I thought it was a joke that this song was going to be a Jam Track, and then I checked the item shop. Guess what my new lobby track is now??? lmfao
I have so many scenarios in my head that I would love to make into comics but bc of time and life and other priorities, a lot of them are on the backburner. I'm rambling so I'll put my ideas under the break, but I just have silly moments in my head relating to my broppy parent AU--

Thinking about how special interests and hyperfixations are not so much an "unhealthy opsession" as they are a means to calm yourself down.
Is it really obsessive to think about your favourite show, movie, subject etc. all day every day and not being able to function properly? Or is it your brain recognising your anxiety from being forced to socialise and being thrown into loud uncomfortable spaces, and creates images in your head, reminding you of the thing you love so that you can calm down.
It's not unhealthy. Your brain is literally fighting to prevent an anxiety attack.
#omg this is it#the perfect explanation of how it feels#i keep joking that drawing trolls is my therapy but if im real#i kind of make all this art bc of my untreated anxiety issues LOL#drawing trolls and au stuff is escapism for me and truly it does wonders at keeping me calmer haha#ANYWAY#this is so true#reblog#text
While working on this comic I'm realizing it's gonna be a lot of pages and parts, which I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT, I'll be doing as much as I can over this weekend bc I'm addicted to this lol. But since I posted this WIP on my other accounts I'll share it here too. Luckily this comic won't be in color, only greyscale, so it'll motivate me to actually finish it LOL.
This is how my rough drafts/blocking looks before I do an actual clean second pass over it all.
Poppy nervous because she's about to rock Branch's world with the biggest news ever hehe.
God this AU is eating me alive.
