Some Trolls Band Together memes I made over the weekend because I was bored 🙃
A Trolls Band Together art dump!
First seven are photoshop cleanup of some of the posters/magazines n' stuff that is seen on Branch's clue board. The BroZone wallpapers are photoshop cleanup originally found on the BroZone website. Last one is the character cast of the movie, cleanup with photoshop from the Golden Book and used as part of my Lyrics Videos that I'm making on my YouTube channel for the songs of the movie (link below)
Also, I'll add a link to my Spotify Playlist for the Cover songs that the Trolls franchise has done so far:

Ya know what , I’m adding. Here are more useful references that I use;
This… This is great. I’m keeping this for reference
I just think he would care about his instagram feed xD
He's not only short, he's also not the singer of a popular rock band from the 2000s. I'm sorry, Ed 😔
Ed cut his hair~ Do you like it? 👀
Fullmetal Mulan– I mean, Alchemist!
More MetalEd and Punk Winry~
You can use them as matching icons! Credit me in your bio if you do, please! 🥰
I made more of these~
Love how, in Callum's intro, his eyes are fixed on the Star symbol with the Sky symbol being opposite it on the cube. I doubt that means a lot or that its intentional, but idk I just thought it was neat.
Oh, it is absolutely intentional (and means a lot) - we just don't know precisely why yet! The rune cube placement has been intentional in the past, particularly with Ocean ("You found it?" overlaid in 1x04, which foreshadowed the discovery of the prison; the Ocean rune being prominent in Callum's dark magic dreams in 2x08, foreshadowing that he would use it again in S5) and Sky (mostly in S2 with Callum's mage journey in 2x01, 2x07, and 2x09).
There are also some possible ones with Moon (the Ocean-Star-Moon trifecta in the cube's first appearance in 1x04 and when Callum cannot bring himself to drop it in 4x07; Soren flipping the thing back and forth between Star and Moon in 4x01, which could foreshadow Rayla struggling to break Callum free of Aaravos' possession) but we'll have to wait and see if they come to fruition.
A lot of the foreshadowing regarding the cube has also come back around / been intentional, such as:
- Callum: This is the game room. Cube should be in there. (1x04) → Viren, to Aaravos: What game are you playing? (2x08) → Callum (and Viren) being literal game pieces to Aaravos, including the cube
- Callum: You wait here, however long it takes, I'll go find a key. (1x04) → we learn that the cube is called the Key of Aaravos (2x06)
- Rayla: It's a glow toy! (1x05) → the cube in Callum's intro literally flashes a bright, white light (4x04)
- Rayla: Are you practicing magic or are you losing to Bait at a game of rolly-cubes? (2x07) → Callum using both dark and primal magic to save Rayla, tied up as literal bait, even as the use of the pawn intro with him indicates that doing so means this is another step forward in losing the game Aaravos is playing (5x08)
In case you are interested may I present a decidedly more unhinged meta analyzing the rune placement in scenes with the cube
Anyway!
Why is the Star rune in the intro important? For starters rather than being right side up (symbol of the star primal) it's upside down, which is Aaravos' symbol. Secondly, it looks like whatever is turning Callum to stone bears a striking resemblance to how star magic is coloured in show. Book 6: Stars is going to have a heavy overlap with Destiny as a theme (hence star associations) as well as likely see Callum play into Aaravos' plans ("and destined to play right into my hands") due to both that word association and the aforementioned game motif. If Sky represents freedom (and the freedom to choose your own destiny) then Star would - at least for now - represent the opposite, which I'm sure the Celestial elves being Skywing elves will only drive home more.
Which all just comes down to this more specific deciphering / prediction regarding the intro's meaning that you can read here if you'd like <3
OMG!! I was actually looking information of Paris and look what I found!!
“Bakeries are everywhere, almost at every corner of the city. Always buy your croissant at the bakery and choose the ones made with butter. And try the other pastries like pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant), chausson aux pommes (apple turnover), pain aux raisins (sort of raisin roll) to name the most famous. Eat them for breakfast like the French do and have macarons and other pastries for a 5 o’clock snack called goûter in French.“

I had to find out, and it’s called Boulangerie du Moulin de la Galette! I wonder whether they’ve gotten more business since Miraculous began :D
[Super confusing, but seems like it also goes by these names: Patisserie Boris Lumé, Boulangerie Boris, Boris Lumé La Patisserie… @_@;]
Here’s more info, pics, and links (sorry for the long reblog):
Are Tom and Sabine based on these two?!
Tom and Sabine Boris Lumé and his co-baker Japanese wife, Mihona
About how Sabine and Tom met :
The owners of our look-alike patisserie met while working together for the bakery chain, Le Grenier à Pain (Caulaincourt store). They moved to Tokyo together, where Boris worked under Joël Robuchon and discovered minimalist patisserie design. They returned to Paris two years later with their child (!), and after spending time with other great chefs, they opened their own shop in Montmartre.
And it is beautiful.
I would visit even if this is all just a HUGE coincidence.

Wowow a finished 3x4 Animatic! I hope y’all like it!
Sector V: Undercover Adult Agents of the KND
While WHAT they do in the organisation is kept under wraps, one thing’s for sure: they’re still kids at heart.
Numbuh 5 (Abigail Gilligan): Part-Time Teacher at McClintok High School
Numbuh 4 (Dr Wallabee Beetles M.D.): Doctor at the local hospital
Numbuh 3 (Kuki Sanban-Beetles): CEO of the Rainbow Monkey Corporation
Numbuh 2 (Hogarth P. Gilligan Jr): Short-haul-flight pilot at the airport
Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno): Unknown
After the whole fiasco with the GKND, Nigel has finally returned to Earth…sort of. While he longs to join the KND again as an adult operative and be with his Sector, the organisation has him in hiding due to the lingering tensions between them and the Galactic branch. No one really knows where he is, what name he goes by now, or what he’s doing, but the KND are working hard to bring him back.
- 38 years old
- Finds ways to contact the now adult members of Sector V to let them know he misses them and that he’s ok.
- His name has become legend in the organisation. None of the current kids are entirely sure he exists, but the undercover adult operatives hope for the day they can be reunited with their old friend
The Beetles Family
The future family of Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 3. (Going clockwise: Kuki, Wallabee, Roku, Plat)
Members:
Roku Beetles 緑 (Numbuh 6)
The tomboyish and independent combat specialist/spy of the current Sector V. Sarcastic and rough around the edges with a strategic mind, she’s often the problem solver of the team, though not necessarily the voice of reason due to a slightly mischievous streak (is secretly the Prank Master of her school)
- 9 years old.
- Preferred weapon of choice: A Boomerang-shuriken combo called the B.O.O.M.E.R.K.E.N (Blaster Of Objects Moves Ever Rotatingly Knocking Enemies Nicely). Carries a few at a time and can release multiple if need be.
- She has a soft spot for her childhood friend and teammate Homer Gilligan (she’d never admit it though)
- Chose the number 6 upon her Cadets Next Door graduation in honor of a retired R.O.B.O.B.R.A.D.L.E.Y
- While her name sounds like the Japanese word for her number (六), the actual kanji character in her name is Japanese for ‘green’ (緑) referencing her mother (ironic because she prefers orange, reminiscent of her father)
Plat Beetles
The energetic, outspoken and goofy younger brother of Roku. He’s always joking around and is pretty comfortable in his own skin. Wants to join the KND but hasn’t finished his cadet training yet. So he sometimes tags along with his sister on missions
- 7 years old
- Plays dodgeball with his Uncle Joey on weekends
- Has a soft spot for his First Rainbow Monkey
- Has a lucky bokken (a Japanese wooden sword) from his maternal grandparents which he sometimes uses as a weapon if he follows his sister to combat.
- The name “Plat” means flat land, which is a reference to Australia’s geography (noted to be the flattest continent). His name is also meant as a shortened ver of Platypus, an animal native to Australia. Thus following the Australian animal theme of his father and uncle.
Dr Wallabee Beetles M.D.
Now a family man and a doctor at the local hospital. While he’s mellowed out over the years and is arguably smarter now, he can still be pretty impulsive and hot-headed. Especially if it involves stuff that annoys him. Loves his family dearly and takes a very hands-on-dad approach
- 37 years old
- Secretly still a member of the KND along with the rest of the past Sector V. But it’s kept so secret that even his kids have no idea.
- Happily married to Kuki for 12 years. Together since they were 17.
- Plays electric guitar. Used to be in a rock band in his teens
- Takes as many days off from work as he can. Either to relax, go on a date with Kuki or just spend time with his family
Kuki Sanban-Beetles
The CEO of the Rainbow Monkey Corporation and matriarch of the family. She still maintains her optimism and cheeriness but is also more calculating and business-minded due to her position in the company. Very affectionate towards her children and husband, although her oni side has come out when pushed too far.
- 37 years old
- Secretly still a KND member with the rest of Sector V.
- Slight workaholic. Brings home work more often than not, which includes Rainbow Monkey prototypes.
- Has been together with Wally for 20 years
- Has now gotten hooked on soap operas and KDramas, which Wally hates more than anything (especially if she makes him watch)
Woah hahaha that was really fun to write and draw! Probably gonna do a few animatics of the family too if I feel like it. Will also do the rest of Sector V’s family someday maybe!
KND belongs to Mr Warburton
The Gilligan Family
The future family of Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 2 (Going Clockwise: Abigail, Hoagie, Hogarth III, Homer and Jodie)
Hogarth Pennywhistle Gilligan III
Hoagie and Abby’s eldest son. A teenager whose presence is mostly seen through the shambles of mess and food he leaves around the house. When he is around, he can usually be heard complaining.
- 14 years old
- He’s always either at the mall or at school, so he’s not often home. Even when he is around, his face is always hidden
- Named for his grandfather. To carry on his spirit
- Was given his mother’s hat when he was younger. He doesn’t wear it anymore but keeps it hanging on his room door.
- Despite being a teenager, he’s still quite civil to his brother and is pretty harmless. Sector V still keeps him (or at least his room) under surveillance though.
Homer Thomas Gilligan (Numbuh 7)
The Writing Operative and 2x4 technology officer of the current Sector V. Loyal, hardworking and a little awkward, Homer often acts as a support to the team in many ways. Whether in battle, missions or off duty, he’s a capable presence who always comes through for them.
- 10 years old
- His middle name, Thomas, is a nod to his uncle.
- His code number is a reference to Cree Summer’s (voice of Numbuh 5) comment that if she was in the KND, she’d pick 7 as her number.
- He is said to be a great storyteller and does the daily logs for Sector V, hence his role as Writing Operative. He often puts his own twist on it of course, dabbling in a few writing genres
- He wishes to invent more original 2x4 technology items instead of following existing blueprints, but his inventions always end up exploding. The only successful thing he made is Roku’s signature weapon.
Jodie Gilligan
Hoagie and Abby’s daughter. Hogarth III and Homer’s little sister. A very cheery and giggly baby.
- 11 months old
- Her name is Hebrew in origin, an allusion to the Gilligans’ Jewish heritage
- She is very attracted to candy, despite not being old enough to eat it yet (her teeth haven’t come in). Can get EXTREMELY aggravated if she finds candy and someone takes it from her
- Shows quite good mobility for a baby, being able to quickly sneak up on people and climb on high-ish surfaces
- Is probably the only one that happily laughs at her father’s jokes
Abigail Gilligan née Lincoln
Part-time Teacher at McClintock High School and Full-Time mom, Abi still manages to find a way to maintain her laid-back cool attitude through it all. When she’s not grading papers, or getting gum out of her kids’ hair, she often spends her time reading or painting.
- 38 years old
- Secretly still a KND member with the rest of Sector V.
- Was in Wally’s band as the keyboardist in their high school days
- Often goes to ice cream parlours, soda fountains and candy stores with Hoagie on dates to sample the flavours.
- Splits the house duties with Hoagie. As she tells the kids: “Your dad cooks, I do the taxes and whoever loses at thumb wrestling has to clean.”
Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr
A pilot at the airport, he opted to work on short-haul flights so he wouldn’t be away from his family so much. Fun-loving and jovial, he dotes on his wife and tries to be a cool dad to his kids (despite the bad jokes he keeps telling)
- 37 years old
- Secretly still a KND member with the rest of Sector V.
- Is close with his son Homer. They usually spend time building stuff in the garage together. Both are still trying to figure out why Homer’s inventions always end up exploding
- His penchant for telling his bad jokes has only gotten worse over the years, but he says that he now has a right as a dad to say them.
- Only started dating Abby in their early 20s and got married a few years later
