I keep thinking about D3rlord3 saying Avery “showed him all the beauty of the universe” and going a little insane over it because what do you MEAN all the beauty of the universe. You have seen everything. You have brushed up against infinity. You have knowledge beyond human scale. And your conclusion is still this spectacularly lonely loser (I mean that with all the love in my heart), made your existence beautiful again.

I'M DISTRAUGHT. The tragedy isn’t even that they met. It's that d3rlord3 had the capacity to understand infinity, but only learned how to value something finite right before he died. And of course it had to be another loser. Of course it had to be someone equally out of place and equally lonely and not built for any of this. The worst part about their dynamic is that if they had met earlier, it might have saved him. And if they had met later, it might have destroyed Avery too, but they met at the exact point where d3rlord was already too far gone—the ONLY possible moment where love could not save them.

(I need everyone to be sicker about them immediately.)

"flower crowns"

more envy artttttttttttttttt (pretty proud of this one actually) they're sitting on a meadow after running away from the rest of the gang.

this was supposed to be part of a bigger post i was planning to make on my insta, but it's going to take me a while to finish the rest of the pieces i have in mind (bc i enjoy making myself suffer) so i decided to share this over here until i'm done. also i was maybe thinking on doing an introduction post for lots (rider) butttttt that's gonna take a while. hope you like them (my shaylas) and don't mention the background because it's one of my first times finishing one :p

i don't know if the quality is going to be shit, i hope not :(

WHY IS HICCUP TREATING TOOTHLESS LIKE A PET.

Why does the dialogue read like Hiccup is talking to a dog and not his soulmate? Why does he use pet-ish commands with him at the end of the film? Why does their bond feel so forced?

WHEN did they click? WHY did Forbidden Friendship feel so numb? WHERE are the emotions?

I'm not kidding. I felt nothing watching the Forbidden Friendship scene. Now, the original scene? Doesn't matter how many times I watch it, every single time it's glorious. The recreation just... happened and suddenly I was expected to care. By the time Romantic Flight was happening, I literally felt myself questioning where and when Toothless and Hiccuo had actually bonded. Where had I missed it?

The separation scene in live action THW is going to mean nothing. It is going to feel like nothing. Because Toothless means nothing.

Happy pride to this guy

TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT ENVY THE NIGHTLIGHT 🔫

OMG YES TYSM FOR ASKING!!!

i really tried to not make this post super long so i present you with five funfacts/headcanons (?) about my baby envy <3 (and also some doodles i made to further ilustrate)

he has two siblings, named baal and mayhem, and he loves them dearly. he's the oldest of the three and so so so protective of them.

envy was heavily inspired by my cat, so he shares a lot of personality traits with him. they're both grumpy and kinda mean and furies have always reminded me of cats, so envy is like a little homage to him.

he is mean, but like, reaaaally mean around people he doesn't know or trust. "i will murder you" kind of mean. he's also really protective over lots (his rider), and won't let anyone near her if he doesn't trust them completely. that being said, his second favorite person in the whole wide world after lots has to be hiccup. envy LOVES him.

(THE SILLIES)

(hiccup looks so wonky here i can't)

envy, as envious as he is (no pun intended), shares his rider with four other dragons; three terrible terrors called havoc (estragos), naps (siestas) and stitches (puntadas) and a stormcutter called ojoscuro (i still have to figure out her english name). he tolerates them, but that's just because he wouldn't admit that he loves them (in his own weird way)

and lastly, he understands both spanish and english (because that's the language i assumed is spoken in berk, given that's the original language of the movies) as lots and her family have spanish roots

ANYWAYS that is all i think (?!) expect to see more of this guy and the rest of my ocs because i have a lot and i love to yap and draw. hope you enjoyed and i'll leave the whole doodle page i made down below as well as a picture of my baby brownie, the whole reason envy even exists :))

[once-upon-an-animation]

I am once again begging y’all not to support the HTTYD live action remake in theaters. The more these remakes succeed, the longer we’ll be stuck in this story-recycling era of Hollywood, in which studio execs think their animated stories need to ‘graduate’ to live action.

[staarjeelly]

taking a break from complaining about the live action to share this piece i've finished today!

cringe culture is dead so... night light oc and his rider!!! his name's envy (short for envidioso) and i love himmmmmm with all my might! pls pls pls ask about him if you want to bc i'd take any excuse to talk about him. anywayyyyy hope you'll like him as much as i do

(i also plan on making a longer post about them both on my insta bc i can't get them out of my mind)

thank you for reading and i hope you have a great day/night

[rosetta46]

he’s never looked more like his rtte self than in this picture. the hottest man in the archipelago

Making Toothless sit like a dog instead of like a human during the part where he waits for Hiccup to eat the fish actually disgusts me on a level I cannot simply write in words.

[tillythemenace]

Also I wanna be clear I DO NOT want to shit on any of the actors, I think they all did a fine job with what they were given. It's clear to me that most of the criticisms especially surrounding Nico are baseless and stupid and I really don't want to go down THAT route. BUT I HAVE TO SAY, idk if the directing (probably is) or the line delivery but I did NOT like how Astrid was so watered down in her temper and emotions... Like Sorry to Nico, but this is mostly because of how Astrid lacked just... so much passion and ANGER, her expressions are mostly tame and neutral and that was sad to see.

And Mason as Hiccup? sorry it was so hard for me to believe he was "different" than the others, like the VOLUME and the SIZE of the rest of the village was so not felt, which to me was a HUGE ASS thing in the movie, and again, nothing against Mason but sadly he lacked just so much of Hiccups physicality, his expressions, his body language and movement... :/

And yes Toothless lacked SO MUCH EMOTION. It was like he was barely a character. Idk if they really just don't want to pay good animators or what cause the CGI looked so awful in his face it was uncanny... He couldn't even show emotions on his face cause it looked so weird with his new design and therefore, his WHOLE character felt souless and unimportant. He felt like a wild animal with no actual brain than a character... same with the rest of the dragons honestly.

But oh well, I guess just like everything in this movie... it all felt like an uncanny retelling of a much better story and sadly the characters themselves are the ones who suffered the most

How. HOW do you manage to fuck up every single line in a 20 second clip??

"Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile" is SUPPOSED TO BE MONOTONE, DEADPAN, DRY, SARCASTIC

THAT. IS. HICCUP'S. SENSE. OF. HUMOR.

Not whatever THIS is. OG Hiccup didn't mean it genuenly, he was being sarcastic, this guy is just angry at Toothless

And ASTRID, apologizes to TOOTHLESS?? Way to miss the point of the scene and make Toothless seem dumber

In the original, she doesn't address Toothless at all. She apologies to Hiccup. And when Toothless hears her apologize, that's when he stops flying crazy, because he didn't want her to apologize to him, she hasn't done anything to him. But she's bullied Hiccup and Toothless no doubt saw her at least drop the axe on him or yell at him. Hiccup may have told him about her and the others who knows

But regardless, it showed Toothless as an intelligent, thoughtful creature. He knew his friend, the person who helped him fly again, was being mistreated, said "Not on my watch" and did something about it. This Toothless doesn't look or act like he's got a single thought behind his eyes

[persimnon]

shirt that says "don't talk to me about the httyd live action remake because unless the franchise has also been one of your longest-lived and most precious interests otherwise we cannot even begin to have a productive conversation about it"

[tategaminu]

I'm so damn sick of the girlbossification trend, OG Astrid's goal was to become strong enough to defeat dragons and help her people, she didn't want to be chief, Hiccup did become chief because he was the chief's son, simple as that but aparently a female character's biggest goal can't be love and protection for her people nooo it has to be leadership, what kind of message are we even getting here? that the only worthy goal for a woman is to become a leader?

Watch her become a chief instead Hiccup in the third movie, I wouldn't be fcking suprirsed.

[theflikchic]

Just so ya know... There's a new clip from the LA HTTYD and they changed the scene where the teens are introduced to dragon training so it's revealed that apparently the Twins "flunked dragon training" four times. Excuse me. What? Seriously, it's only a few changes but it changes basically all the main story stakes.

This isn't just a silly joke, though the movie seems to treat it as such. This one added joke fundamentally changes why dragon training is so important. The teens we see attending dragon training are the only teens on Berk. In the new movie, Hiccup reveals that Ruffnut and Tuffnut are older than the others. Four years older. Therefore, if each teen is sixteen, this makes them both 20. No longer children.

Therefore, it changes the "competition" aspect of the training and their friendship with the others. I am all for healthy friendships between kids and adults but this means Astrid no longer has a friend who is a girl her own age AND makes it super weird that - if they keep the script super similar - Ruffnut's gonna flirt with Hiccup temporarily.

However, this is all based on if they keep that dragon training is only done once per year when the teen is of age. Because dragon training is not a class. It is a rite of fcking passage.

As far as I know (the shows might say different but I haven't finished them sadly), nobody "flunks" dragon training. You either get to prove yourself and properly become a viking by killing the dragon or ... Well, the movie doesn't explicitly say but we can tell - from the way Gothi the elder is involved, the crowd that arrives to watch Hiccup and Astrid's reactions to being beaten and not chosen is - that being chosen to kill the dragon is basically a rite of passage and ritual. It is THE ritual. The entire village wants to know who is going to kill the dragon and they want to watch. It's HUGE. Where are the stakes if you can just do it over and over and over again? What is the importance of dragon training in the lore OR in Hiccup's story if it's just routine? Oh wait, there aren't any and there is none.

And if dragon training only happens once per year, that makes the Twins adults. If it doesn't and it happens every season, then Astrid has NO reason to be as angry as she is because hell, she can just try again in the next few months. But this also asks how the Twins "flunked" this new dragon training? They would be the only teens. They would only be competing against each other. Wouldn't one of them be chosen to kill the dragon? And if not, wouldn't that be like a major disgrace? And wouldn't Hiccup know this if the training is as important as it is? Why would Fishlegs have to tell Hiccup about this, the SON OF THE CHIEF, except for exposition?

And speaking of added lines, they give Ruffnut a line where she asks Hiccup if his "daddy had to pull some strings" to let him into dragon training. I'm sorry? He's the son of the Chief. Stoick can do whatever he wants. The original line Tuffnut says ("Oh great, who let him in") is still there and that's all you need because he's basically implying "Why did Gobber allow this?" when in reality, Gobber was pushing for this (though no one but Stoick knows). Not only that, making the Twins basically adults (Hiccup in the LA version asks "Aren't you a little old to be here?") just means they're now immature grown ups harassing a child instead of two teens being immature by trying overly hard (and admittedly succeeding) to be what they perceive as adult vikings.

Understand: these are a total of four added lines. Four. And this is how much has already been screwed over. The Twins are immature adults and dragon training is no longer a serious rite of passage (meaning Hiccup basically has no reason to worry about killing the dragon, he can flunk and just never come back to training and Astrid doesn't have to be that mad). Maybe the movie will add more context to this new dragon training but for now, it's bogus like I wouldn't believe.

I have so many complaints about the HTTYD live action but my biggest one is why the hell is it sunny. In literally every shot of the trailer i've seen there's been this golden cast over everything (provided the scene is daytime obvs) and it's like... this is berk????

It rains 9 months of the year and hails the other three why is the lighting so cheery. Like because of where I'm writing this I can't do pictures rn but I dare you to compare the image of the arena from the 2010 and the 2025 movie and the difference is shocking.
