- I Never Took You For A Romantic 

Sobbing because the dog on an album cover reminded me of my dog that died 3 years ago

One thing that I wished they kept throughout the franchise was Hiccup being the smallest Viking. I wish they kept him scrawny and stringy and shorter than Astrid and the rest of the gang.

Hiccup was ostracised by his entire community for many reasons, one being his weak build and small stature.

Snotlout may be shorter than Hiccup in the movies, but he's got bigger muscles and puffs himself up. He makes up for it by acting like a proper Viking, being loud and obnoxious and always ready to start a fight - that and he can actually lift a weapon.

The name Hiccup is meant to mean small and frail - the runt of a litter or the black sheep. I want Hiccup to be the absolute epitome yet antithesis of his name. I want Hiccup to be small and unassuming and shorter than the rest. But I also want him to be Great. I want him to be brave and stubborn and hard to kill. Awkward and sarcastic at the worst of times but still kind and friendly and always dependable.

I want him to be everything a Viking is and isn't. I want him to be a peacekeeper and a warrior, an adventurer and an inventor, the son of the chief and the hiccup of his tribe. Someone who can't wield the same weapons as his tribesmen so he makes his own. Someone who wants to uphold the traditions and culture of his people yet always thinks outside of the box. The representation of this new age that's fast approaching, the line in the middle where old and new clash.

I want Hiccup to dress like a Viking, talk like a Viking, eat, sleep and walk like a Viking yet be the very last thing anyone ever thinks of when they think of a Viking. And most of all I want there to be absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I wish they hadn't made him tall and appealing in the end. I wish they'd kept him the way he was. A Viking born too early and too weak in the middle of one of the harshest winters ever experienced by the barbaric archipelago. A Viking who beat the odds and survived. He's braved every terrible winter since his birth and lives in a place where it snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. He can endure bone-freezing chills and frozen oceans but never fails to catch the common cold. He's always been a bit sickly, ever since he was a child, but he always bounces back. He's got scars and a missing leg and his hands are filled with callouses, cuts and burns, but he's soft-spoken and loves to read and never skips a meal yet can never seem to get any bigger.

I wish they could have kept Hiccup the way he was. I wish they didn't have to change him in order to have him become a worthy hero.

I wish the entire village could look at their little runt of a chief and still crack jokes about his long-overdue growth spurt. I want them to look at him and be filled with pride, cause despite the fact that he hasn't grown an inch since he was sixteen, there isn't a single person on Berk who can look at him without seeing just how far he's come.

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.” - Unknown

I love how hiccup and the woden's fang and the windwalker try so hard to teach Toothless manners only for him to pick a completely random "polite" word to put in front of his normal statements

Saying "please" or "excuse me" or whatever before hurling seething insults is the funniest thing I've ever read

Rest in peace Silco, you would've loved Luke Castellan

this is fuckin hilarious.

"kid got recked. Oops."

maybe the reason big boobied bertha's tits are so big is because every time a trans man wants to leave the bog burglar tribe she takes his boobs

whole. they're hers now.

YOU GO GIRL

This is the most powerful call to ratio I've ever seen. It's like she's performing an incantation.

I truly don't care that they're making her black because it's just a movie and I'll be perfectly fine and shes a great pick for astrid but what bugs me about it is that big companies will cast minorities to be more diverse but it feels like they're exploiting the actor/actress by using their image to make themselves look good.

"Look! Our cast is diverse! Give us your money!" While they expose their actors to loads of backlash and racial discourse

VikIngS AreNt BlaCk WhY is She blaCk? ThAt’s nOt HistoriCally AccuRate

I’ll hold you hand when I say this, but dragons aren’t historically accurate either. No one cares that she’s Black

That being said, I still think the costumes look too cartoonish, this one as well, and it does make the whole movie look a bit uncanny valley. But that’s besides the point.
