Oscar Wilde, once said, “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
River Song, later tells the Doctor, “Oh, it’s my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on a spaceship.”

God I love this breakdown I didn't even know about the holiday special until I saw this post I didn't know that happened in the holiday special where he thought poppy was going to say something like that this explains way too much
So, I experienced some deju vu during this scene in Trolls Band Together:
John Dory grabs his backpack, says he's leaving (I'm done, YOLO, etc.), and then the last thing he says is "Goodbye Forever!", followed by Branch's distraught face, and the next thing Branch knows, all his brothers have left him and he never sees them again.
I was trying to figure out why that little snippet stuck with me, then it hit me:
Trolls Holiday in Harmony, when Branch is trying to figure out a gift for Poppy. He's worried about doing the wrong thing, disappointing her or freaking her out, and says "I CAN'T let that happen". He illustrates his point with Poppy packing a suitcase, and what does she say right before she runs off?
Really brings his abandonment issues into the light😢
I've seen a few comments of people being annoyed when Branch said to Poppy "aren't you going to leave me anyway", but they clearly don't understand how trauma affects people's mental and emotional state.
He knows Poppy loves him and doesn't actually believe she'd leave, but after a lifetime of being alone, even though he's happy and loved now, there's still that subconscious fear that he'll end up alone again. Poppy means everything to him, and he can't bear the thought of losing her too, especially as a result of something he's done (his grandma died to save him, and he believed his brothers leaving was his fault because he 'ruined everything' at the concert).
Sometimes this results in Branch trying to push Poppy away, which seems conflicting, yes, but again: trauma messes with your mind. He was already heartbroken and angry at his brothers, so he wasn't thinking clearly and blurted out his hidden main fear.
And when he says "everyone else [leaves me]" I hear "everyone in my life has left me so I must deserve to be alone, so you might as well leave me too."
And that's probably why Branch was so hesitant to be open with Poppy - 1. I might scare her away, and 2. why bother expressing my feelings to someone when I'll likely just lose them anyway. Plus he's still getting used to having someone to confide to in his life. Keeping emotions bottled up for years is a hard habit to get out of.

Pooh Parallels/Analysis
From the moment Merlin brings Pooh’s book out, something about Sora’s reactions feel off. He is uncharacteristically subdued, especially at the thought that he’ll get to see his old friends. Compare his reaction in KH3 to his much more enthusiastic reaction in KH2:
In KH3 he almost looks…sad (remind you of another certain scene?). At first you might just write this off as him being worried about Pooh- and I’m sure some of it is that- but this vibe from Sora continues through the entire segment.
When Sora finds Pooh, the first thing Pooh says is “You’re home.” Such an odd thing too say, and it even confuses Sora for a moment:
“You’re home.” “Uh…huh? Good to see you, Pooh.”
Why would they have Pooh say something that even Sora finds strange (so that the audience takes notice)? Later Sora realizes that Pooh meant “home” as in his heart, but it also serves as a reference to the well known final line of KH2:
Pooh uses the same exact phrase as Kairi in both English and Japanese versions.

What a beautiful parallel! Martha is questioning her reality in conversation with Jonas ones again.
Question is though: "What When is not déjà vu in this TV series"?

Dark S2E7 - S2E8 Parallels
Parallels different, but the same Martha x Jonas Martha x the Stranger She knows it’s her Jonas, because he will always react the same when she touches his face. I know all this thing is still a taboo, but there is a beauty in their emotions and facial expressions anyway. I cannot imagine, how it might feel to wait 33 years for the love of your life, who died in your arms, to touch your face again. When I look at the Stranger I truly see Jonas. Martha had just observed the same.

Martha x Jonas Martha x the Stranger
Continuation of the topic of parallels in Dark:
Let’s not focus here on by which moral standarts it is wrong and disturbing, just please, put it aside for a minute, alright?
There is a beauty in their tender moments together and in their dreams about each other. This is how she dreams about their kiss in a moment of intimacy. This is how he dreams about their moment of happiness 33 years later. It haunts both of them, because she thinks she lost him and he knows he already lost her. Deep down, she knows that he is alive, as well as he knows that this time - she could live. She tries to find him, whereas he tries to do everything he can in order to save her. Their love for each other is so strong, that none of the crazy stuff really matters. Just take a look at them then, young and in love, pressing their foreheads together. It was probably for the first time, when they felt truly connected to each other, hours before everything was ruined. And look at them now, one year and a week later for her, and 33-34 years later for him, hours before the apocalypse. You still can see their unique connection. It’s so present, that you can feel it even through your screens. Regardless of their time apart, regardless of messed up bloodlines and time travels – their connection was always there.
This? Oh, this is just The Stranger after taking a shower, looking like a Greek god for two seasons straight.

Daniel Solace & Jonas Kahnwald parallels
And yet again, I am being drawn to a mysterious, miserable-looking, but ridiculously handsome fictional character, who knows more than he lets on.
Main features:
• Arrives to the scene all mysterious, intense and looking suspicious.
• Usually looks either dirty or wet from his travels (through some tunnels, for example).
• Sad, sad eyes.
• Is in a good shape, but you can't tell from all the layers of clothes he's wearing.
• Looks like he could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll.
• Somehow is a definition of "that man is so fine".
• Does that "Demi Moore teardrop from one eye", that is absolutely heartbreaking and you can't help but feel for them.
• Tirelessly tries to find a loophole and break this circle of suffering, in order to save the woman he loves so devotedly, even though she doesn't recognise him as first.
• Is seen to be using 3 "artifacts": a futuristic light (for the time), a mostly analogue device, that is also sort of "out of place", and a little something to guide the way.
If you've seen him, call me:
