slides into ur inbox bc you have the fun takes: what are your thoughts on Stormfly and Astrid's relationship and how the films just ignore them? :(
did u see the post in the tag where someone’s like “au where Astrid has a light fury” or whatever too cause oh man i was already mad about this
the httyd universe literally builds up that the dragons are mirrors of their riders and ! also says fuck you toothless and hiccup are the most scared bond ever!!! (i guess bc toothless is literally dependant on hiccup for like everything.) which is a shitty take and just like. they’re all “we planned this!!” but then backtrack on everything like yike. other people having bonds with their dragons doesn’t take away from hiccup and toothless? ????? anywya
the major piece of info about Stormfly we get is that she’s pretty (read: vain.) but also capable, and it’s said by Astrid about herself which she then corrects. Love that for them tho! I love that snippet of Astrid loving Stormfly and seeing herself in her!!!!!!!!!! I actually REALLY wanna do a big analysis post on Stormfly now cause I wanna dig into all these details of her characterisation? :(((
the movies tho? httyd1 just met. httyd2 is about her playing fetch with Eret? I guess they are mirrors, sidelining Astrid for a man, yet again. They have a really strong bond but it’s kinda dismissed in narrative as jsut existing and isn’t explored. and then httyd3 whom is Stormfly? oh? surely ..... the light fury is what you mean. h
Remember when dreamworks was pushing stormfly/toothless because they mirrored their riders and dontcha know h*ccstrid are perfect and now people are falling all over themselves to act like there’s Astrid and ligh fury parallels :/ dreamworks says fuck any relationship Astrid has outside of hiccup. all this bullshit about hiccup making her the person who is she when they couldn’t even be bothered to show something deep between her and stormfly? I’m just so mad they barely touch on their relationship AHHHHHJJ
