Undo The Damage Of Sitting

Undo the Damage of Sitting

Transcription of the top writing, just in case: The "Turned into zombies by a member of the Royal Family" bros

@djmurphy Branch was hypnotised by King Peppy and my Ramón was brainwashed by Poppy (like father like daughter lol)

Me siento tan inspirado

cringe is dead. sona x canon be upon ye

That one chapter of The Beat Goes On but Branch does have friends outside Poppy and the Snack Pack AND is actually a introduction to Kismet as a second group of main characters!!

I hate Mr Glittercakes so. Fucking. Much

It is so humiliating with a character whose only crime was not wanting to hurt his stupid friends' feelings by telling them he'd rather stay home alone.

But complaining is useless, so time to rewrite it is.

The chapter would be called "The Other Friends" and the premise would be the same: Poppy thinks Ramón is giving her excuses to no going to parties for the last weeks

The confrontation about the excuses could be talked out, such a twisted solution wasn't necessary

"Oh no, sorry, I would have loved to go to this... Super fun party" Branch say with a unconvincing smile "But I already made plans with my other friends and they-" he noticed the skeptic look Poppy was giving him and stopped "What?"

Poppy sighed in disappointed "C'mon, Branch. Everyone knows you don't have other friends"

"Excuse me???"

"Look, it's okay, I get it!" she hurried to reassure "All those years of isolation affected you I-I understand that you still need a break from so many people from time to time! And... you still haven't grasped everything that having friends means. I know. But something important in interpersonal relations is honesty so-"

Poppy took a breath, uncomfortable with the conflict.

"So yeah, the excuses have to stop"

It would have been a very good intervention if he was really lying

After that Branch introduces Poppy to his childhood friends (and secret band) who, to no one's surprise, are just as outcasted as him

I'm already thinking about other possible plots for Kismet Centric chapters

The Swan Princess (1994) dir. Richard Rich

bc why not?
