A little psychoanalysis on Alvin the treacherous.
So I was bored at work and thinking about what could lead a man to be as vile as Alvin. Of course, he might have always been this way. Maybe he was a cruel and vicious person since he was a child, but the httyd books seem to like doing parallels a lot, so I wondered, what if Alvin was a boy a lot like Hiccup when he was very, very young? Smallish, soft, kind, and polite.
I think that would have gotten beaten out of him by living with the Outcasts, his horrible mother, and possibly the Outcast version of the Pirate Training Program.
From what it seems, every tribe has a version of the Pirate Training Program to train their youth. The Outcast Tribe is so violent and sadistic that its people were outcast from normal Viking society—a society where murder is justifiable, stealing is good fun, and slavery is simply a part of life. That gives you an idea of just how brutal the Outcast Tribe is. If you've been outcast by your tribe, you've pretty much already proven yourself. However, if you were born into the tribe, you would still need to prove yourself, as they don't seem like the kind of people to go easy on anyone.
I really can't theorize on what the Outcast initiation or training might look like, but the sky's the limit. Whatever dead-dove-do-not-eat, dark, grim, bloody scenario you can think of, I really wouldn't put anything past these people. All-out war. Maybe Alvin had friends who were kinder and weaker than the others, and he had to watch them get torn to absolute pieces. Maybe he even had to torture or kill them himself as part of the initiation into the tribe. Maybe cannibalism was involved. Why not? They already do it.
Then, in order to cope with what he's done, he adopts the persona of Alvin the Treacherous. Sometimes it can feel easier to just be a "bad person" rather than a person who did a bad thing, because then you have someone else to blame. It's not HIS fault he does what he does--he's evil; destiny made him evil; the Treacherous blood made him evil.
The more he sinks into this mustache-twirling, conniving villain, the easier all the hurt becomes to swallow. After years of pretending not to care, pretending to like violence to keep himself sane, eventually he starts to not care and enjoy it for real.
This could be part of the reason he hates Hiccup so much. Firstly, Hiccup would remind Alvin of a part of his past he tried to bury. Secondly, when they first meet, Alvin might be jealous of Hiccup's life, the life he desperatly wanted but never had. Sure, Hiccup gets bullied, but he has friends who aren't dead, a family who genuinely loves him, and a teacher who's--to a degree--actually concerned about his survival.
His hatred of Hiccup would only grow the more hardships Hiccup faces because, whereas Alvin's trials made him cruel, Hiccup only seemed to become kinder and more selfless as a result. Hiccup keeps winning without having to become monstrous, forcing Alvin to consider that maybe it didn't HAVE to be the way it was. Maybe it COULD have been better. Maybe he COULD have been better.
None of this excuses Alvin's actions, but it did give me some interesting perspective. As much as I do love Alvin being a simple, theatrical cartoon villain, it's fun, it is still interesting to consider alternative angles. The worst people in the world are still people, and I think that's the tragedy.
i love saving images onto my cell phone. it’s like picking berries
Thinking about Steve being so afraid that the serum would change his love for Bucky.
The moment Erksine tells Steve that the serum will cure him of all his ailments, his heart stalls and his stomach sinks. He tries desperately to not give himself away when he meets the doctor’s eyes.
“All of them?” He asks. If his voice comes out small and trembling, he can pass it off as being in total awe of the concept of being healthy. And he is. But…
Erskine doesn’t seem to notice anything amiss as he smiles kindly and places a warm hand on Steve’s shoulder. “All of them.”
Steve lays awake that night, praying to a god he hadn’t spoken to since he lost his mother. Please, he begs. Don’t take this from me. Let me keep this one thing. It isn’t long, though, before his thoughts devolve into apology after apology to Bucky. Despite how much he loathed the thought of it, if he must lose his love for Bucky in order to be there for him—to protect him—, then so be it. It’s horrible, and painful, and bitterly unfair, but Steve Rogers will sacrifice anything to save Bucky Barnes.
The moment he steps out of the machine that transforms him, Steve notices most of the changes immediately. He’s big and tall. The world is bright and his heart feels strong. He can actually breathe. When he chases after the man that murdered Erksine, his thoughts and legs move fast—faster than Steve ever thought possible.
It’s only at night when Steve finally realizes.
He still loves Bucky.
He still wants to hold him in his arms, run his fingers through his hair, and kiss him breathless. He still loves him. He still loves him. Amidst his relief, Steve feels confusion. Erskine said the serum would cure him of all his illnesses. And it has, all except for this one thing. It’s then when one thought hits him with all the weight of the world;
They’re not sick. They were never sick.
Their love was never wrong.
Bucky: I have a bad feeling about this
Steve: what do you mean?
Bucky: don't you get that little voice in your head that tells you when something will get you in trouble?
Steve: no?
Bucky: that explains so much actually
Saw someone say they think the person in the foreground of this shot is Steve and if it is it makes the poses and expressions on Sam + Bucky's faces so much funnier.
Underrated Fanfiction concept is when Steve Rogers has a daughter and she’s more like him pre serum. Being more sick and physically weak but still willing to go to bat against others to help people
