what could have been

[leap-0n]

luigi mangione, the SUSPECTED (innocent until proven guilty) united healthcare shooter, has been charged with terrorism. that’s right. a man who supposedly shot ONE SINGLE PERSON is being charged with terrorism. because in america, billionaires lives matter enough that a SINGLE rich man’s death is considered a terrorist act against this country. think about that.

Honestly, the main problem I have with the live action HTTYD trailer has nothing to do with turning an already perfect animated film into a live-action remake. (I did a speech on this topic. I could go on for DAYS.) It has nothing to do with any possible differences that will be made (or a lack thereof).

NO.

It has to do with THIS.

THIS SHOT RIGHT HERE.

TOOTHLESS’ PUPIL. IS NOT A SLIT. IT IS WIDE FUCKING OPEN.

Throughout the ENTIRE animated universe of HTTYD — every SINGLE movie and TV show — a dragon’s emotion is conveyed through the size of their pupil. A slit signifies typically negative emotions, like anger and discomfort. A wide-open pupil indicates emotions like love and comfort. In the animated movie, Toothless’ pupil cannot be interpreted as anything other than a slit in this scene.

In fact, the creators of the animated film have talked about this decision. It was very intentional. To remove this detail pisses me off, actually. It’s a very clever way to convey emotion in in-human characters in a very effective way. Toothless is probably more scared than he has ever been in his entire life. Of course his pupil is going to be thin as fuck. I just don’t understand why this incredibly emotional detail has been taken out of this incredibly emotional moment between Hiccup and Toothless.

i was at a restaurant last week, watching the political ads on the TV between sports games. one from the trump campaign ended with the slogan “kamala is for they/them. trump is for you”. it was vilely clever - and it made a clear statement about who was the enemy, the other, the unwelcome, in trump’s great america. i thought about how the right had gone all-in on transphobia this election season, and i hoped it was a gamble that would cost them.

this week has been a gut punch, and i’ve been feeling a lot of things - rage, fear, grief, and subspecies of those emotions. what i kept coming back to, though, as i digested these feelings, were the people i love. my queer friends. the trans kids in my community. the people who, already, are losing their rights to bodily autonomy, state-by-state. the way that i’ve had to start looking at our country as a fucked up patchwork of safe and not-safe. the way that access to medical care, increasingly, changes depending on which side of an arbitrary border you’re on. i’m also realizing the ignorance and privilege it is to only think of our country this way, now. america has always been about picking and choosing who deserves rights, who we consider a person. but, despite the deep-seated flaws of this country, i live in it. so do so many people i love. and that’s what I keep coming back to: the people i love, and my desire to protect them. at the very center of all the rage and hurt and anxiety and sorrow i’m feeling, is a deep, perilous love. i am holding onto that love. i hope you are, too.
