hey, y'all

please don't misgender Murderbot in fanfiction.

especially not to "humanize" it

having the misgendering be a point of contention, something done by another character and them being incorrect? whatever.

i can understand it being accidental; in that case, fix it and move on.

because here we have an explicitly agender character, with pronouns it is comfortable with and that it uses even for itself in its internal monologue

("Yes, talk to Murderbot about its feelings. The idea was so painful i dropped to 97 percent efficiency." All Systems Red)

If you're coming from just the TV show, and are doing it on purpose because you're exploring the idea of MB having a gender or whatever, you know what? im not gonna police you on what you can and cant write. But if that is the case? DO NOT TAG THE BOOK FANDOM.

Please recognize that using pronouns other than it/its for it goes against the entire point of the books. MB is not human, and doesnt want to be human, and it uses it/its pronouns. This is something recognized and accepted in stride by the human characters.

Virtually no one who is a book fan will want to see a fic misgendering MB. It using it/its pronouns is, for a lot of readers, part of the appeal of the series!

MB using it/its pronouns does not detract from its personhood. Having MB use he/him pronouns does not add to its personhood.

especially considering - REAL LIFE PEOPLE USE IT/ITS TOO!! ffs, I use they/them and it/its! using those pronouns doesnt make us any less capable of thoughts and emotions and opinions. the same can be said for MB.

MB is not a man. MB is not a woman. It simply is. please respect that.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Okay so I’m actually insane about lycanwing Hiccup. I imagine he gets distracted by shiny objects and then gets embarrassed when people point it out

[arxhafleu]

honestly, as much as i love test drive and forbidden friendship so much, where no one goes is more deeply etched into my soul. this 2-min scene is such a huge part of why httyd2 means so much to me. just hiccup and toothless in the sky, exactly where they belong, with their trusted companion: the wind — flying as one, fully in sync and FREE — and it's ALSO what keeps pulling me back to the first movie 🥹 bcz every time i watch this scene, it instantly takes me back to how hiccup and toothless first formed their friendship . and esp this part… THIS specific part. it's during this exact moment that i feel an overwhelming wave of appreciation and love for the (two) movies, and Most Especially for hiccup and toothless' bond. it could even make me fucking tear up, dude. i really, really, REALLY just love them so much. their friendship is something i hold so close to my heart. best platonic soulmates EVER i tell u . and i feel that same emotional surge when listening/watching test drive and forbidden friendship .. BUT where no one goes is literally just More special to me ! it just hits a little harder bcz, again, it always takes me back to those two pivotal moments of their bond. it all comes rushing back through this one flight. that's why, every time i Rewatch httyd2, and i get to watch this scene Again, it makes me wanna Rewatch the first movie Again (even tho i literally just finished rewatching it) .

I love the randomest parallels between Hiccup and Toothless

Episode Enemy of My Enemy starts, with Hiccup trying to sneak out to look for Viggo and Astrid catches him and Toothless just as they leave the stables.

Toothless looking away with wide innocent eyes: I have nothing to do with this, I don't know who this man is, I've never met him in my life before.

Exasperated, she eventually let's them go. Though Toothless blasts away the heavy itchy armour when Hiccup tries to put it on..

Minutes later as they're flying around the place practicing stunts and having a fun flight,

Hiccup: When Astrid finds out you went without your armor, I am not covering for you.

....

Besties who'll jump off cliffs willingly and get struck by lightning willingly and be ready to drown willingly and eat what they're deathly terrified of willingly just to save the other will throw each other under the bus for escaping the wrath of an unimpressed Astrid

I love the way Toothless is just standing there listening to Hiccup’s geeky ramblings and then at the very end he’s just like 🤨

Hiccup: great! Glad we could agree on that.

Toothless: Who tf is “we”?

😭😭😭

“I wouldn’t leave you either”

The face of someone realizing he’s probably going to die and the face of someone who will not let him die alone. They either both live, or they’ll both die together.

[justpeaxchy]

That's it. That's the post

[arxhafleu]

i love how the scene changed from gobber telling stoick that hiccup has this way with the beasts — planting the idea in stoick's mind that maybe, FINALLY, this time, his son is learning how to fight dragons. like yeah about time !! then it cuts to the test drive scene — the exact moment hiccup actually found a way to connect with a dragon, not thru fighting, but thru Flying . he's learning about dragons not by defeating them, but by understanding them ("everything we know about u guys is wrong") .

hellllooooooo

C-can you pls do runaway hiccup……-blink blink-🌚

Vigilante dragon lover that isn’t really a vigilante he just comes across as one cuz he’ll blow you up if you even look at a dragon funny

[000marie198]

Kinda funny how Hiccup keeps finding these ingenious uses for night fury saliva such as taking revenge on Snotlout through its quality of having 'incredible healing properties' and actually probably using it as salve for said healing properties and using it as sticky glue for his papers.

Meanwhile Toothless only uses it to go "Time to give Hiccup slobbery kisses and annoy him"

[mx-dragon-faye]

Yknow what I love to see? Fics where Hiccup is like half-raised by dragons. Not in a he was kidnapped and taken from Berk and raised by dragons way, but that’s cool too, but like in a “wow all the humans are so dismissive of this kid that they don’t notice when he disappears into the woods for long stretches of time, meanwhile all these dragons in the woods are like hatchling? human hatchling left all alone? is anyone taking care of him? no? ours now. our hatchling.” way. (Now time for me to write one of my own fics like that)
