i usually don’t post anything but this has been in my head recently: Trolls Family theory & my headcanons;
1. Poppy’s Mom: My headcanon is that she either passed away when Poppy was a baby or, got eaten by a Bergen. Yea it’s heavy stuff, but it explains why Peppy might keep secrets.
2. Peppy’s Lies: Peppy hides the truth from Poppy to protect her from trauma, especially since he already deals with a lot, but it leaves Viva carrying all that emotional weight instead.
3. No Troll Left Behind Hypocrisy: Peppy leaving Viva behind despite saying "No Troll Left Behind," it got you thinking about how shady and complicated his backstory is.
4. Guy as Poppy’s Brother-Figure: In my headcanon, Peppy was kind of an absentee father while ruling Troll Village, which led Guy Diamond to step up as a brother-figure and basically help raise Poppy. That’s why Tiny Diamond calls her “Aunt Poppy.”
4 ½. Shared Traits with Poppy: Poppy and Guy Diamond actually act kind of similarly—fun, glittery, dramatic, and very “cupcakes and rainbows”—which is why i totally buy that close bond.
but that’s just my personal theory and headcannons. do you agree and what are yours?
