Tuffnut: If I die, avenge me!

Fishlegs: You stubbed your toe.

Tuffnut: And I might never EMOTIONALLY RECOVER.

[dontgetcaught256]

Snotlout: I don’t need therapy. I have a mirror and the unwavering belief that I’m hot.

[dontgetcaught256]

Gobber: You failed the written part of dragon training.

Snotlout: In my defence, it required reading.

*During Edge of Disaster*

Astrid: So, what’s the plan?

Tuffnut: Step 1: Chaos.

Tuffnut: Step 2: …

Tuffnut: Yeah, that’s it. That’s the whole plan.

[dontgetcaught256]

Snotlout: I think I’ve matured a lot.

Fishlegs: You tried to high-five Chicken and cried when she ignored you.

Snotlout: Growth isn’t linear.

[dontgetcaught256]

Snotlout: Some people say I have a god complex. I like to think that I am a complex god.

*after the Squad has been separated for a few years*

Ruffnut: So what have you been up to recently?

Hiccup: Leading a revolution with Astrid.

Ruffnut: Good for you two! Me, I've joined the mob.

Hiccup: *sighs* Of course you did.

Hiccup: Anyway, have you heard from the others? Tuffnut?

Ruffnut: Happily living as a hermit in the woods. Dagur?

Hiccup: Wrongfully locked up in an asylum, which reminds me, we need to break them out later. Snotlout?

Ruffnut: Cult leader.

Hiccup: Yeah, that sounds about right.

I think Astrid's decision to stand her ground and waste time pulling her axe free to bash the lunging Deadly Nadder on the nose says a lot about her character and how protective she is.

Because the less dangerous and arguably the smarter option for her would've been to dodge out of the way and then get her axe. She probably would've had more time if she had, the Nadder would've needed to focus on all of them, Gobber included, instead of just her.

But dodging out of the way meant the dragon would've gotten straight to Hiccup and that's why she chose the way riskier option instead. Because if she hadn't managed to pull her axe free in time, she could've died. Or at least gotten seriously injured, cutting her dragon killing career very short.

Despite this very huge risk, she stayed. She stayed because that meant she was still in between Hiccup and the Nadder, acting like a human shield. She stayed because that was also the best option to save both the lives of herself and Hiccup. And she didn't even waste a second to think this through. She chose the option instinctually, choosing to try to save both of them without a moment's hesitation.

How the fuck did Astrid catch two darts and kick a arrow in the same episode. The darts can move at like four hundred feet per second that is like two times the arrows speed. There is no way that woman is human.

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

[computationalcalculator]

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

[idontgettechnology]

I tested this theory in the wild the other day at work. I was on a call with my department lead and a few other folks and I replied to an email the DL had sent me, thinking that, because he was on this call, he wouldn't notice when I sent it and would not catch me multitasking.

However, he replied to said email within five minutes, asking a question that required an answer. So I answered and was like "Also, I was going to apologize for answering emails during this call, but I see we're both here at the Devil's Sacrament, so I don't think an apology is necessary."

I watched him read that on screen and try not to laugh. And then at the end of the call as everyone started saying goodbye, he goes, "Hey, MJ, I meant to tell you. I like your shoelaces."

And I looked straight into my camera, stone cold serious, and said, "Thanks. I stole them from the president."

And the rest of the team was like, "What...the fuck...?" before he abruptly ended the call for everyone.

So now my DL and I know this about each other. He could be any one of us.

i love the idea that viggo's issue is that he's always overestimating the dragon riders and that's why he loses. other antagonists always underestimate them, they don't put in all the necessary precautions, which allows the riders to slip through, always throwing parties and gloating before the dragon is in the cage. but viggo?

my man takes so many precautions, his entire island is a war base, and yet, and YET the dragon riders got in by dyeing snotlout's hair blonde, giving him gucci boots and naming him sir ulgertorpe, SIR ULGERTORPE. viggo got catfished by snotlout with blonde hair. he's overestimating them so bad that the IDEA of them "just walking in" doesn't even come to mind. he's ready for fire and death to fall from the sky but a one-legged boy pulling a fast one on him breaks his fancy little english brain.

Whoever wrote the dragons riders from Race to the Edge has DM a DnD session and know, deep in his soul, the absolute crazy shit players would do and having to concuct a reason WHY it works because the dice tells you to

[toothbrushfingers]

hey guys long time no post

anyway here’s this

[fromevertonow]

This YouTube comment has been on my mind since I finished SOTR so this is what I came up with:

Lucy Gray was the mockingbird, living on the outskirts of district 12 and was there at the wrong time when they were forced to stay there after the Dark Days. They were subjected to the Capitol’s politics despite not being a part of Panem, technically speaking. Lucy Gray became part of the Games and, likewise, the mockingbird became affiliated with the Capitol through the jabberjay’s release into the woods, but it still continued to sing its own song.

Haymitch was the jabberjay, a Capitol tool that did what it had to in order to survive. The Capitol thought they could control them, but they retaliated in the form of rebellion. Haymitch refused to be a piece in their game and tried to end it, and the jabberjay, in the eyes of the Capitol, created a freak of nature that showed the Capitol’s lack of complete control.

Katniss was the mockingjay, a slap in the face of the Capitol, something that was never meant to exist. Together, the song of the mockingbird that lived on for generations and the stubbornness of the jabberjay that refused to die, the mockingjay had the best of both worlds. It was a symbol of rebellion and unity.

Big Sister Yaz giving life advice that her Little Bro-man echoes back later in the episode is, without exaggeration, one of my favorite treats in this franchise.

[alltheboysandgirlsiloved]

Ever since the release of jwct season 3, I've been wondering why Yaz was so set on following Brooklynn and saving her. Don't get me wrong – I'm not criticising my girl (I do criticise the way she talked about this with Sammy but not the decision itself), but I couldn't help thinking, "woah, she's very firm about this", and "but where does this decisiveness come from?"

I realized that, ultimately it is all rooted in "how everyone remembers Brooklynn".

We must take a couple of steps back and think about the flashbacks we got in jwct season 1/2. They say a lot about how the Nublar Five remembered Brooklynn, which memories were the strongest, or which bubbled up the most frequently.

Ben remembers Brooklynn as a friend who is a little bit adventurous, who listens to his crazy ideas, and who is a great companion. It is a fond and warm memory.

Sammy remembers Brooklynn in her family's house – Brooklynn is a part of a family, an obvious part of her life. (which makes her betrayal a "double" family betrayal – not only was Brooklynn a found family, but also Sammy remembers her in her biological family's space)

Kenji remembers Brooklynn in a moment that combines beauty, love, and heartbreak. His memories are bittersweet, very intense – but don't focus on regret (there's no "I could have done this other way).

Darius remembers love and guilt. Heavy cross to carry. He remembers Brooklynn through a series of his mistakes – the accidental confession, being late to the meeting. I think that this is also why he isolated himself so much – his grieving process was different because "his" Brooklynn was entwined with a negative perception of himself.

And then, there's Yaz. Yaz relates Brooklynn with her recovery, with working on her PTSD. Yaz remembers Brooklynn as someone who helped her when she felt misunderstood and lonely in her struggles. Yaz has been very visibly struggling with PTSD since jwcc, and it seems that while others learnt how to live with the trauma, she was still "stuck" – or rather, she felt stuck. Brooklynn was the one who helped her in a way that Yaz needed, and she was there at least during some part of her recovery.

Yaz remembers Brooklynn as someone who helped her, so it is very natural that she wants to return the favor – not because she feels she "owes" Brooklynn anything, but because helping is what defines Yaz's definition of "Brooklynn".

[ace-t-rex-in-space]

Do Ya'll Think

part of the reason why Yaz refused to give up on Brooklynn is because Brooklynn didn't give up on her getting over her PTSD?

Like Sammy was being overprotective to the point that it probably felt like Sammy gave up on Yaz getting better and that hurt Yaz a lot because her PTSD was so dangerous for her and Sammy that Sammy not helping her the way she needed really effected her.

But Brooklynn didn't give up on her. Brooklynn immediately directed her to the Dino Immersion Therapy place that Ben sent Brooklynn (note he doesn't think to send it to Yaz or Sammy but that might have been sent to Brooklynn with the intent of getting Yaz there.)

And I think Yaz is justified in feeling like Sammy gave up on her because season one Sammy was so convinced Yaz wouldn't be doing better despite being at therapy for a good chunk of time and she's still treating Yaz like glass even with how serious them being hunted was.

Brooklynn didn't give up on her, so Yaz doesn't want to give up on Brooklynn.

I am pumped for sooooo many things season 7 but I am so excited for the Rayla and Soren face off.

Presumably, Soren has the full context for who Runaan is to Rayla at this stage. I have to assume he knows Runaan is not merely the leader of the assasins to her. He's her father, the man who raised her.

And that has to smart with him, right? Soren spent the past few seasons and season 6 in particular, grappling with his father and who was.

Rayla was raised as a solider too. Unlike Soren who's role primarily was protection, Rayla was raised as an assassin. Raised to kill.

And here's the man who raised her like that. The killer, in Soren's eyes.

And Rayla is defending him? Fighting against her friends for him?

How does she make Soren understand that, with his background? How does she get him to understand that, yes, this man killed Callum and Ezran's father, was going to kill Ezran too... and yet she still loves him and wants to protect him.

Especially considering Soren was clearly willing to kill his own father to protect Ezran.

I absolutely adore how their friendship has developed over the seasons, and I am soooo excited to see them try and hurt each other.
