Belle: I Can't Believe You Assassinated The King!

the fact that I’ve actually had this happen multiple times when I’ve entered a new fandom is hilarious like what do you MEAN

Hiccup and Dagur is a very good ship but like. it's almost TOO easy to read Dagur's behavior as a big crush. my controversial opinion is that their dynamic is 100x funnier if it's read as completely platonic. like, not even familial-but-we're-calling-it-platonic. literally just Very Normal Friends

The new hyperfixation has started and now I must yap again

I like how most of RTTE is hiccup being a mother hen to his very crazy toddler children.

And then the opposite happens whenever he’s on an inventing frenzy.

Very much inspired by this photo a friend sent.

In another universe Hiccup really is the best bread making Viking Berk has ever seen.

“you gave him his freedom hiccup. what were you expecting?” uhm, for him to come back?? like he did when hiccup originally gave toothless the fin that let him fly on his own?? obviously he didnt think that his BEST FRIEND would abandon him for a girl??

Nooooo HTTYd hyperfixation come backkkk, stayyyy with meeeee.

Rewatching HTTYD2 made me so thankful that Ruffnut saw nothing in Viggo, Ryker and Dagur because if she simped over them the way she simped over Eret…woo boy that would not end well.

Something I find really interesting about Stan’s character is how he believes fundamentally that he’s the stupid twin. When in reality he really isn’t and that makes for an interesting parallel between what we see and what he himself sees.

Stan has been conditioned from a young age that there’s only one of brilliance. And that’s in Stanford. The simple intelligence of picking up math and being extremely good with scientific research and knowledge. And because that’ll make money easier, their dad conditioned Stanford to be the ‘smart’ twin that was going places.

Stanley has been shown time and time again to be incredibly creative and socially intelligent (even book smarts too! He literally taught himself how to run a portal) but because that’ll wasn’t valued by his Pa it was shunned.

Stan absolutely could have been an author or comic writer but he thought that he couldn’t be. Stan had a future but it was conditioned out of him. He was told that he would only mean something if he was with Ford. He was told to not care about school work because he’s the ‘dumb one’. I firmly believe that Stan could have gotten wonderful grades or gone to college but because he wasn’t the favorite, that wasn’t an option. Stan is incredibly intelligent, he’s just intelligent in an unconventional way. And that unconventional way is kinda what ends up saving the world.

Filbrick pines they can never make me like you.

(Side Note: But there’s also kinda an interesting autism and adhd aspect related to them. Both the twins are heavily neurodivergent coded so I find it interesting that while Fords autism coded behavior and nerdiness because of that helped gain their Pa’s favor, while Stan’s ADHD behavior got him out of their Pa’s favor.)
