I Am Really Weird, Noticed?

[nonexistentirl]

Cale "out of pocket motherfucker" Henituse and his borderline crazy shenanigans

Publicly

Emptied several bakeries in his territory to feed the bread to a hole in the ground by the roots of a "man eating tree"

Picked up a wide range of beast people (wolves, tigers, cats, a half rat etc.) and dragons and became an unofficial zookeeper

Bought a magic tower for absolutely no reason only to destroy it a year later

Saw dragons turn up at his brother's doorstep and laughed like a maniac

Tried to strangle the prince of another nation with his bare hands

Set one of the most dangerous places on the continent on fire, then put the fire out himself to fill it with water

Bitch slapped the big bad

Beat up the illusion of the big bad with an enchanted pebble

Stabbed himself in the heart with a tree root

Privately

Threw a bunch of money into lava, twice

Blew up an island, twice

Ate a rock to power up, twice

Staged a coup for another nation, twice

Set a historical lake on fire

Set a castle('s surroundings) on fire

Moved the late Dragon Lord's lair to his backyard

Declared war on himself

Cussed out a God, more than just once

Bonus: Choi Han

Together with Rosalyn and Lock has destroyed a palace, twice

Gone for the head of a villain and returned with a severed limb, twice

Keeping this as a list to point at the chapter like a maniac when I realize the time has come

I have no clue what is going on I just know I need to catch up multiple years worth of seasons (last season I watched was season 10? I think? When Harumi (correct me if I am wrong) was collecting these masks)

[mx-dragon-faye]

So Hiccup makes a lot of genius inventions but for years Berk just dismissed them all because surprise surprise, things go wrong when working with a prototype! So yeah, they didn’t like Hiccup’s inventions and in fact actually let him know they really disliked them. Walk with me on this one, because I’m having thoughts about it now that are jumbled and only half formed; Hiccup who doesn’t realize his inventions are all that genius vs. the dragon hunters, led by Viggo who is a genius in his own right, who realize this random eighteen year old is fucking scary and his inventions could do a lot of damage.

But Hiccup is just like “Oh this? *shrugs* Yeah I just thought it would be helpful to have. No it’s nothing that special, see, I just had to— *cue explanation that’s hard to follow because Hiccup really honestly doesn’t realize how genius it is*”

And no one on Berk really tells him they’re genius at first because they didn’t pay that much attention and then because they’re just used to it. Like to them that’s not genius that’s just Hiccup being Hiccup.

[hino-or-whatever]

And the dragon hunters privately are like „How the fuck does this keep happening, we need blueprints, get the smiths we need to explode something“ and meanwhile Hiccup is like „Oh man, I wish I could make some useful stuff :(”

I hope you kissed the brick before throwing it at me faster than Toothless can shoot

[ask-thenightfury]

feed soup.

Soup fed.

Oh I love this. I love this a lot. Hiccup as dragon looks a lot softer than Toothless, a bit more squishy (?) too, while with human Toothless, we can clearly see that while he is not bulky, he is more muscular than Hiccup as human, and the hair, I love the hair-

[000marie198]

I love those tropes where Hiccup has dragon traits and characteristics without being half dragon physically

Like of fucking course Hiccup is talking to dragons in their own language, of course they flock towards him without anybody's input when he needs help, of course he jumps off cliffs and has no sense of danger from height, of course altitude sickness is not even a thing to him, of course he'll hiss at you like a disgruntled terror when he's too sleepy and cranky and of course he'll eat the raw fish without noticing when the twins try to prank him with it, of course the one proper weapon he made is on fire, of course he finds eels repulsive, of course he has no problem scaling cliffs or slinking through rough rocky terrain, of course he feels cranky and cooped up when he hadn't gone flying for a while, of course he growls when he's too angry. Next thing you'll know, the kid is allergic to blue oleanders and dragon root

Not Toothless privately thinking that his human was born in the wrong species' body but it's okay, it's not Hiccup's fault these things happen

[hino-or-whatever]

Like my man was building all kinds of fancy stuff that sound like they could be the main gimmick of a dragon species.

Shut up

He’s so annoying sometimes i love him tho so its okay teheheheheh

[autumndragon]

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.

don't rlly go here anymore but had a thought so here

[yellowocaballero]

One of the many things that I've been doing instead of writing are these damn manwha binges and Villain To Kill is literally so funny. The comic premise is straightforward action, think Tokyo Ghoul meets Solo Leveling - local Genetically Superpowered Superhero Cop working for corrupt Hero Organization gets #betrayed and #murdered and is reincarnated into the body of a Genetically Superpowered Villain Teenager so now he has to join up with all the other villain superpower people to get justice.

It's so 5/10. Cassian is extremely OP and the story isn't well-written enough to pull that off well. The worldbuilding is so incredibly nonsensical and weak that it falls apart if you think about it for more than five minutes (tried to write fic for it and failed because I would have had to rework the entire world - which, I could have, but that's a lot of effort for Villain to Kill). The plot is mostly any OP action hero plot where guy gets increasingly powerful by fighting increasingly powerful guys. Cassian himself has almost nothing going on internally, to the point of elegance. And it is somehow the gayest manwha I've ever read.

It's the fucking character designs. And like its narrative but it's the fucking 100/10 character designs. The entire cast's design and characters slam. There's not that much depth but we don't care. You know if we don't like somebody if they look vaguely straight, and you know that we like somebody if they look like they were set to tumble dry in the queerness washing machine. The (great!) women are high femme or hard butch. The corrupt institution assassinated a man Cassian loved and framed & murdered him, at which point he was adopted by a rag-tag bunch of flamboyant homosexuals deemed unacceptable and undesired by society who all teamed up and decided to villainize society in exclusively funny ways and spend most of their time gossiping or hacking the Pentagon. An AFAB character dresses as a man and goes by he/him pronouns half the time for no good reason. Cassian is physiologically incapable of thinking about anything but violence so the heartwarming found family scenario's going over his head, but his Painfully Het Hero Foil Indoctrinated Into Homophobia caught the found family ball and now he's dancing in their gay bars and dressing in drag. There's only a few characters who are explicitly gay but this is gayer than that.

I talked a while back about how important a decent supporting cast is to a good story, and this is yet again good proof. Looking at this, I think I'd go further and say - it's an action manwha, we're reading it for a reason, we don't need character-driven story arcs or really complex characters. I think it's just charisma. A story can go really far on characters with charisma.

TV Shows that are carried on the lead actor (Columbo I love you) - it's because the actor has charisma. You watch it to see the actor hang out being himself. That's way way harder to do in fiction, but I think that "a complex character" isn't necessarily a "charismatic character". I'd rather have a cast of only charismatic characters rather than only complex ones. A story of any genre needs a strong cast of charismatic characters. They can be deep or they can just be chaotic lesbians. Charisma invests the reader in the story and the characters. It's simple but it's really powerful. And it is fucking hilarious how sometimes all you need to do on that front is "Rupaul this shit".

I can't genuinely recommend Villain to Kill and this is not a recommendation. But random stuff always interests me like this, and I really had no idea that I would read 120ch of a manwha bc the designs fuck so hard. Also, like, this is queerest manwha I've ever read. Somehow. Fucking somehow.

[hino-or-whatever]

And also, we all have like. A very weird obsession with the eyes of one dude. It can also be like „Oh the MC is fighting the newest big bad… OH MY GOODNESS CROW IS ON SCREEN MY LADY!“. People can get more thrilled over a side character appearing than the culmination of an arc

[theartofangirling]

people saying that the live action how to train your dragon is good actually because it's basically just a shot for shot remake of the original... then why the fuck would I watch it when I can just watch the (more visually stunning, not a blatant cash grab) original

[hino-or-whatever]

My father loves vikings and wanted to spend time with me, but also he acts almost allergic to animation (my mother has the excuse that some styles make her feel sea sick). Caved in watching it with him and pointed out all small differences. Thought we had a good time till he said „They gotta have used AI to make those dragons fly“. Explaining CGI was a hopeless endeavor and other people looked at me with pity, and at him with confusion and disbelief.

Thinking about how in the Titan’s Curse, Percy can’t bring himself to tell Tyson that Annabeth is missing because “Tyson thought Annabeth was just about the coolest thing since peanut butter, and he seriously loved peanut butter” 🥺
