To this day it still bugs me how the people responsible for some of the best character development in an animated franchise skipped over that for a female dragon in favor of making her bland and kind of a bitch

friendly reminder that gypsy is a slur and if y'all gadjo keep saying it i will fuck u up :-)

They're sugarcoating it

@autistic-razputin this felt too in character to not draw

concept: ghibli moomin

Spent the thanksgiving weekend to doodle this. How to Train Your Dragon is my all time favourite movie ever!

Yet Lana has been glorifying abuse in her music for years and you're sleeping

Doja’s comment under Lana’s Instagram post 💀😂

Never really paid attention to Hiccup's face in this little part here. I've always watched Toothless and his reaction to the idea of finding more of his kind. Heartbreaking stuff, that.

With that being said: that facial expression on Hiccup is PERFECT. There's something so sad about it. It's frustration and desire, but it feels most like a confused yearning - why hasn't this worked yet?

This is the one thing that keeps getting away from both of them; all their exploring, all their charting the world together, and they haven't found another Night Fury yet, not even on accident. Hiccup Haddock, the dragon lover and conservationist he is, isn't just worried about potentially finding Toothless's family. He's not only sad because his friend has no kin -- he looks worried here. Troubled.

There's an entire species out there that's completely unfindable. And he just doesn't understand why.

And after he makes this expression, his very next sentence:

-"So, what do you say? Just keep going?"

Because, really, what else can they do?

So uh...

How we feelin, gamers?

My opinion:

I'm personally conflicted. With everything that's come out about JDS through the years and just my opinion on the game shifting after I replayed it, I'm not sure how to feel. The part of me that used to hyperfixate on BATIM has always wanted this game with every fiber of his being. I thought The Dark Revival was dead by now, so seeing this... it's definitely strange.

Here's hoping the game actually comes out. Especially with how long it's taken.

Deathgrippers are a blessing and I will gladly own 40 of them.

We were robbed of so many things in the deleted scene, but especially this face the Light Fury makes. This moment when the camera focuses solely on her, and what she’s feeling, without including Toothless.

In the deleted scene, she’s real and fallible and actually very snooty. She sniffs Toothless’s auto-tail and grouses about it and flies away while still sneaking a glance back, trying to pretend she isn’t still interested. He makes her laugh, they go on their wild, playful flight through the clouds, she teaches them how to do the stupid lightning thing, and they emerge from the stormhead grinning big gummy inelegant fury grins, happy as can be. And then he licks her and we get this and that’s the moment that everything really changes.

This isn’t some dragon who just checked off the last box on her Big Dumb Call of the Wild Mate Candidate checklist – this is it hitting her that she’s never met anyone like Toothless, who’s fun and unrestrained and wears his heart on his sleeve and absolutely adores her. 

It’s earnest and vulnerable and so much more compelling than the Light Fury in the movie, who isn’t allowed to be either of those things because I guess character development isn’t “sexy and graceful.”
