#how to change your mindset

[autumndragon]

i'm rewatching the night and the fury because it's one of my favorite dagur-related episodes, and,

the look on dagur's face when he declares hiccup his enemy and hiccup accepts it without hesitation, lowkey hurts me.

i mean

his expression changes from anger to surprise to upset.

it makes me think some part of dagur was hoping for hiccup to object to it, to say they were still brothers or something like that, and that it pained him to hear hiccup didn't actually care.

dagur made such a big deal out of them being brothers, and I think he expected hiccup to feel the same, which probably made the "betrayal" worse for him, fueling his anger and need for revenge. in his eyes, hiccup didn't even fight for their brotherhood, picking a dragon over him with no hesitation, and it enraged him.

The way Volo does care about people despite how he might pretend he hates them and people only ever use and manipulate each other

If he hates the world so much and just wants his suffering to end he could just kill himself or something why are you trying to restart the world so no one ever suffers again, hmm?

Man. I think about what if he won. Would he even have the guts to go through with his plan? He has to. He's come this far. He's done this much. He has to... right?

He likes people too much

Him being all friendly wasn't completely an act he really is like that even if he really hated the player and was using them. He likes people. He likes to yap. He likes to gossip. He likes getting all nerdy about ruins. But he's so convinced the world is doomed and beyond saving. So much so he's willing to rip open the sky, manipulate and betray someone who thought of him as a good friend, and take his fight to the heavens and the creator itself.

One of the most important things to practice in analyzing or even appreciating media is placing that media in the appropriate historical context.

For example, it is incredibly short-sighted to criticize Revolutionary Girl Utena for being formulaic and reusing animation sequences based on preferences and standards from the 2020s, but it's also incredibly short-sighted to only rebut that the repetitiveness is thematic when it was animated in 1997 and directed by a guy who worked on Sailor Moon.

I was never meant to carry the world with baby hands.

But I did—trembling, small, brave.

Now I cradle myself in arms grown strong from survival,

rocking the child I was, whispering:

“You should have been held. So now, I will hold you.”

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

the fact that people still use the "no one would talk to a friend that way" "no one would grieve for someone like that if it was just platonic" etc arguments to prove a ship is canon is so annoying to me. yes i get it, we got queerbaited hard but where does it say that romance has to be higher than a friendship or no one said friends couldn't also be lovers or vice versa....? i normally say "popular media tropes that usually are for romance" when i talk about fiction but pulling a blanket statement like "NO ONE talks to a friend that way" is so invalidating to so much of our queer experiences. the beauty of queer friendship literally lies in the emotional fulfilment we get from our friends in a way that i don't normally see in cishet friendships for whatever reasons. so idk it's just been bothering me to see these kinds of posts every now and then. "you wouldn't do [x] for your friends" i would actually. i would sell my soul for them. i would kill for them and kill myself for them. i would do anything for my friends that i would do for a partner. the "proof" for a ship doesn't have to be by invalidating their friendship. also like aren't most of the ships so powerful when they're also each other's closest friends? do y'all not think of your partners as your best friends?

there's a self-help/mental health adjacent post that's going around and it seems to be really helpful for a lot of people which is very good. I also personally hate it with all my fucking heart

We celebrate NI-KI Sundays but today is the 9th of December, a NI-KI Monday, and his birthday. He's not just another bias. He's Thee Bias.

If any of you have been following me for a long time you’re probably wondering where this guy came from. I don’t know. One day I was a normal person who only remembers him as the punk from Drunk-Dazed and then it was July 28th 2024 and he became my new kpop bias.

It was the Fatal Trouble performance at KCON, he had me before that song even finished and it's only 2 minutes 58 seconds. The Fatal Trouble dance practice video superglued my coffin shut so no other man would ever get my attention like this again. I changed my URL. I changed my profile photo. I've been a black and white editer for 9 years and only now am I learning how to colour edit for him (!!!). I’m basically a new woman. I still don't know how the fuck he did that in under 3 months.

Real talk though, I was ready to leave KPOP behind. It’s been a tough year for me and I didn't feel any joy left in the music. But I stayed for him and I’m glad I did. He’s so ridiculous but it makes me smile and it keeps me creative and at the end of the day, that’s the best type of bias to have. He sparks so much Joy and those people are so special actually. Anyways, I hope everyone has a nice day in his honour.

Stop Blaming Yourself, Find the True Cause | #motivation #inspiration

Are you stuck in a cycle of self-blame that keeps you from moving forward? You’re not alone. Many of us think beating ourselves up is the growth path, but it’s actually the biggest roadblock. In this video, we’re breaking down why self-blame doesn’t work and how to replace it with something far more powerful: self-acceptance and intentional growth.

When you learn to let go of the past and stop punishing yourself for things you can’t change, everything shifts. Growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s about showing up, learning from your mistakes, and choosing to evolve instead of staying stuck in shame. We’ll walk through mindset shifts and practical tools to help you break free.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start becoming the man you’re meant to be, this video is for you. Hit play, take a breath, and let’s take that next step together.
