[boilingcowboy]

Hiccup, basically, in the entirety of the 3rd movie

Part 1 of how I think Hiccup handles the big talks in the relationship (except I’m delusional).

[oseytorvan]

I really like this moment. At the beginning of the film, Astrid hits the dorsal fin release button quite hard, and Hiccup tells her to be careful, since “calibration is very sensitive.” At the end of the film, we see that Astrid pressed this button much more gently. Moreover, after pressing, she freezes for a few moments, waiting for Hiccup’s reaction, and laughs only after she is sure that he is okay. She respects Hiccup’s feelings and is able to adjust her behavior model when necessary.

I’m going to hop on the “what if Hiccstrid had Zephyr during rtte” bandwagon, and shamelessly contribute to what has caused my devastating brainrot these past few weeks, cause it’s just. so. good.

Can you imagine all the reactions and conflicts?!??

Not to mention the SCANDAL jk😩

my bebe boy Snotlout takes any opportunity to tease Hiccup about it, because, really, it is sooo funny.

might write a whole fic on it fr fr

That Hiccup angst is just— mmm… *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻

official library post

[intothestacks]

I need non-librarians to understand that this is not a celebratory counter. It's a plea for help.

all my friends may be at pax but the ladybugs and the bees just updated so I think we all know who’s having a better night now

[yourlocalchronicdaydreamer]

I actually think the nature of the love square is really interesting because the love square itself is the main ship of the show and Adrienette and Ladynoir are like … pieces of that ship

When we ship them, we ship them with the knowledge of all sides of them, and usually when they get together in fics it’s post-reveal. Why? Because that’s the whole ship

Ladynoir trust each other completely and are comfortable around each other and enjoy bantering … but they can’t be a part of each other’s regular lives

Adrienette can do that … but they’re not completely comfortable around each other yet, especially with this huge secret about Adrien that Marinette is keeping

I think it’s really interesting that the show decided to get Adrienette together pre-reveal because it’s so clear that they’re missing the Ladynoir aspect of the ship, especially with all the emphasis in Illustrhater about them not having the partnership that Alya and Nino do as superheroes … despite the fact that they’re THE superhero duo of the city

Idk I just find it really interesting that the main ship of this show is currently half a ship

[icripod]

need them in silly situations again

died and came back wrong and no one could tell the difference

[megamindsupremacy]

died and came back wrong but only to myself. died and came back and nobody noticed i died. died and people think i came back better. died and came back wrong only in a specific sense of "wrong". died and fought like hell to come back and everyone thinks it was easy. died and came back mentally wrong and physically fine and tearing myself apart from the inside. died and hiding everything that went wrong. died and trying so hard to show what is wrong and nobody notices.

[hamsternamedmarinette]

Feels good to draw something stupid again
