Ford: we need to safely separate their brains, otherwhise the results could be terrible!

Ford: no not like that Nein.

jeff the killer would listen to every problematic band he knows. mindless self indulgence especially. some of you guys aren’t ready to accept that tho. 

i mean this dude is like what 13?? boy just learned what slurs are of course he’d listen to msi. don’t be a coward.

something just crossed my mind about the "all dragons followed toothless back to the hidden world" thing.

iirc, per the film script, the dragons went with toothless because they cannot resist an alpha's command. it's also obvious that the film intended for every dragon on earth to have returned to the hidden world, per hiccup's speech at the end.

but, seeing as hiccup and co. did not defeat every legion of dragon hunters and trappers on earth, then there are undoubtedly dragons still within captivity at the time that toothless orders all dragons to follow him, no? what about them? did they just break free because the alpha told them to? did he fly across the world and free them?

and people say hiccup didn't give up on dragons by sending them away.

Parents be like “you know you can talk to me about anything right?” and then make it extremely clear it will go very poorly if you talk to them about specific things

i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good

Going from "we're the voice of peace, and bit by bit we will change this world" to "dragons are waiting for us to learn how to get along" is such a downgrade.
