#he was like just u wait u bitch

[jackshiccup]

despite knowing what was going to happen, snotlout's redemption and eventual downfall was so so heartbreaking to me. we spend the past 10 books witnessing how much he's tormented and bullied hiccup that we all feel the same anger and frustration and resentment as fishlegs does in the beginning of 11. i was, maybe, even rooting for something a little bad to happen to him so that he can feel even a fraction of the humiliation that he put hiccup through. but time and time again hiccup, with his inherent goodness and wonderful capacity to always try and see the best in people, reminds us that people need and deserve second chances. even third, fourth and fifth chances. even when hiccup was faced with the certainty that snotlout was set on betraying him from the start.

that's why it was so satisfying to get to the emotional catharsis of the swordfight. snotlout practically begging for hiccup to hate him and hiccup genuinely not having it in him to be able to. and even after that, even after he disarms hiccup and is seconds from killing him - he doesn't. and then hiccup comforts snotlout through it. he tells him words that snotlout didn't know he's been desperate to hear. he tells him he's being too hard on himself. he tells him he's a hero. he opens a door inside snotlout's life for the first time in a long time. despite everything, he offers him another choice to join the dragonmarkers. and snotlout accepts. he bows to hiccup, he calls him king, pledges his sword to his service forever, shakes his hand and chooses to bear the dragonmark.

and it's this moment we finally seeing the seeds of change planted in snotlout sprout - instigated by gobber teaching him a lesson in the amber slavelands and reminding him what the black star represents: pride, honour, bravery. all the times we see snotlout give in to vulnerability and ponder on his choices, he's always holding onto it. which makes it all the more symbolic when he hangs it around hiccup's neck during his last act of valour.

just like how the book tells us that the tides can change so fast, through hiccup, my heart was able to give snotlout another chance too. and it's because of hiccup's belief in snotlout's potential for more that makes you feel so strongly about his death. snotlout's excitement at finally being on hiccup's side, at doing what's right, at having the opportunity to actually be a hero - we can't help but feel that burst of pride, we can't help but root for him. and so we feel the loss, as hiccup did. and it's a point driven home when hiccup ends the epilogue with how he’s carried snotlout and his sacrifice with him all throughout his life. and how time has rubbed away at the black star.

that now the star doesn't look black at all. just gold.

I also think it's nice that they made Camilla a sci-fi nerd and Luz a fantasy nerd. They're genres that are often seen as completely opposing one another by many people, which is what we're led to believe about Luz and Camilla in season 1. Luz is silly, nerdy, frequently in over her head and irresponsible and loves the boiling isles. We're led to believe that Camilla is the normal, conventional TV mother who'd be disgusted and terrified by the demon realm if she saw it.

Then yesterday's lie gives us a lot of nuance to this, and we realize that while they're still very different and now on opposite sides of a conflict, both mother and daughter are incredibly kind people (seen in their treatment of Vee) who love each other but struggle to make the right choices without hurting one another.

Then thanks to them drops all this Camilla characterization and we realize! She was a nerd too this whole time! The wedge between Camilla and Luz is motivated by past traumas and grief! and for the future has them switching sides on the central conflict of where Luz should stay (Camilla now wanting Luz in the demon realm because it's what's best for her, and Luz believing that staying in the human realm is what's best for the people she loves). They finally talk and realize that, like Willow pointed out earlier in the ep, the two are so alike. Camilla reveals that she's a secret nerd too! That she had a hard time growing up and accidentally hurt Luz trying to save her from the same fait! It's so important to me that Camilla keeps calling Luz a good witch. It's affirming her interests and goals, reminding her that she's just as good as the hero of her favorite story. And Luz finally only realizes that she wants to be understood...when she's finally able to understand her mom. When she realizes that the woman she loves and admires is just as much of a nerdy screw-up as her and that there's hope for her. Her palismen ends being multiple animals at once, showing both how Luz making unconventional choices (like carving an egg) keeps paying off for her and how her potential is limitless now that she finally knows and accepts her own goals, but to me it also reminds of the fact that Camilla is a vet and passed a love of all the weird and unliked animals (like wolves, possums, snakes, etc) to her.

It's just so so sweet and it really shows how much love and thought the crew put into this mother daughter storyline (FTF haters are not welcome on this page, respectfully). I can't wait to see how both of these misunderstood but healing women (who radiate "little/big sister" and "mom" energy respectively) are gonna interact with a) the lonely, easily manipulated and well intentioned but ignorant collector (a mix of both their interests as a magic being with a space motif! I just realized that lol) and b) the nasty puritan white man who's really obsessed with conforming to society's norms even when it literally doesn't benefit him at all.

Anyway, I believe in noceda( AND clawthorne 👀) family supremacy 💙

phillip graves fic concept... NOW HEAR ME OUT OKAY, YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE IT’S ALREADY IN MY DRAFTS:

reader is the daughter of a powerful general. as the only daughter of his, you’re sheltered, treated like a princess locked up in a tower. never really had a good relationship with your father since he spends most of his time at work + he’s always so controlling of your life, always keeping you under a watchful eye that you feel more like a prisoner than the pampered princess his soldiers consider you as. enter in a young phillip graves, 25 years old and making a name for himself that will only grow to strike fear in his enemies. phillip is close with another general who wants to take your father down & of course, wanting to prove himself and climb the ranks, phillip will do anything he can to see his own favored general succeed, collateral damage be damned. 

unfortunately, you happen to be said collateral damage. 

SO I’M THINKING!!!!! that phillip basically starts getting close enough with you to the point where you trust him with your whole heart; even worse, you love him. and once he’s gotten you to the point of no return, the moment he realizes he’s got you hook, line, and fucking sinker, he gets you to betray your own father and expose his own transgressions that will make it impossible for him to come back from. after exposing your father, you expect phillip to at least take care of you in the aftermath; after all, your family’s name and reputation have been tarnished, you have no real world experience to fall back on, and he’s the love of your life. of course he would take care of you. he promised he would. but they call it whispering sweet nothings for a reason. everything he said was a lie; you didn’t mean as much to him as he swore you did. he used you. he betrayed you. and now he’s abandoning you. 

some tags + inspo: slight age gap (reader is 19, graves is 25), manipulation, loss of virginity (oh girlie, you gave him everything :(, didn’t u), jealous sex (for someone who supposedly only wants to use you for the mission, he sure is possessive 🤨), literally inspired by miss taylor swift’s “all too well (10 min version)” + her “would’ve, could’ve, should’ve” so you know this fic is gonna be a BITCH

I ride or die for gang orca, god

Can you just imagine how surprised he’d be at someone else defending him /getting upset on his behalf??? He’d melt if it was his S/O as well ahhh

YEAHHH like. He’s so big and scary, and plays that up so much in his hero persona, that I think a lot of people r too afraid to say anything directly to him. And he’s used to it, knows it’s not worth the fight, because if he’s perceived as aggressive in any way it’ll only make things worse and any kind of push back will be seen as aggressive from him.

But once the pair of you become involved enough that he’s bringing you to hero galas and other events, people realize they’re free to make snide comments where you can hear; if it’s not implying you’re only with him for the money and social standing (because how could you possibly be genuinely attracted to someone so inhuman) then it’s horrible, invasive questions about ur sex life (he‘s surely so animalistic, you must like it rough) or, worst of all, condescendingly expressing concern that he might be forcing you into a relationship somehow (because he’s so villainous, really, and if u need help just ask) and it’s that last one that makes you snap the first time, mostly because it happens right as he’s returning from getting you a drink and you haven’t been dating very long but you can see the way his face falls as he catches the very end of the question—

And you see red. Really, you don’t feel calm until hours later—not until after you’ve screamed yourself hoarse and called the offending party every rude name under the sun, after Kugo finally managed to drag you far enough away that all you could do was keep glaring at them as if you could make them burst into flames with a look, after he sheepishly told your host that you both had better make it an early night and head home. You’re still buzzing in the car, and he’s agitated too, and you think you should probably apologize to him at least for making such a scene but you’re not sorry, not really, because more than anything it was that look he’d made, involuntarily, that had broken your heart.

(And you shouldn’t have been worried, because once he ushers you into his apartment he doesn’t even let you say all of that. You get out a single word and then he’s kissing you, pressing you up against the door he’d just closed, growling into your mouth about how much you drive him insane. You realize, as his mouth moves from your lips to your jaw to your neck, that his agitation had never been disappointment or anger with you)

So it’s not until you’re laying in his bed with your head on his chest and his arms around you, the both of you lax and satiated, that you finally feel calm. You can feel his steady heartbeat beneath your ear; it’s soothing. It’s human.
