personally i like this more than what we got in httyd 3

what could have been 😔

[evilwriter37]

Hello, fandom. Please do not demonize others that enjoy something in a different way than you do. Oh, that’s too hard? My bad.

[saturnniidae]

Two of the best dreamworks trilogies of all time fr!!

[acemdzsfan]

Me: Vibing with a movie adaptation I'm watching purely because it is inaccurate and barely recognizable from the plot of the books.

Movie: Slams the exact same ending as the books into the last part.

Me: "wtf? What was the point of setting up this whole world and plot like a fan fiction if you're just going to cram in the tragic ending? At least commit to the bit."

Wondering if Astrid's character is actually bad. Or if people see her, the female love interest, in a relationship with the main male character, see her girly and emotional side on top of the badass warrior side, see her get in trouble and be saved by her main male character boyfriend (completely disregard that he needs just as much saving and that she does a lot of that saving) and then call her character bad.

[countlessofvoids]

Annoying thing RTTE did to the fandom was having the "Hiccup looks very skinny but he's actually really strong" joke and with that making people think Hiccup could do the impossible. No, Hiccup could never kill Drago on his own. It doesn't matter that he knocked out Snotlout one time

[mothmansbakery]

Do u have any silly or goofy head cannons for Eret/Snotlout?

For my own mental well being, my head cannon for the THW is that Snotlout is actually compensating hardcore over his crush on Eret by using toxic masculinity, he doesn’t want Valka he wants Eret lmao

[thecosmicmap]

Can we stop treating dragons like they aren’t giant fire breathing reptiles please?

[cattonicdragon]

One thing I get particularly salty about Is when people complain about the light fury having hearts on her head and then pretend as if stormfly didnt have a much more noticable one in the second movie,I dont mind if u dont like the light fury but like play fair

[reallyprofoundkryptonite]

A scene out of my httyd rewrite:) yes Krogan has a night fury. Her name is Sigrùn

So. Anyways, this rewrite completely redoes most of season five and six of rtte and has to go through httyd 2 as well… it isn’t just a rewrite of thw, which is getting an overhaul COMPLETELY. it is not going to be anywhere near the same plot as the original. Without giving too many details, the entire rewrite is going to be split up into several parts, and is told completely from Krogan’s pov.

Sigrùn pops up later towards the end of season six for the first time though,

[longing-for-rain]

I’ve had both so I’m curious

[toothbrushfingers]

i’m sorry but i hate her more than i can put into words

her design is pretty yes, but it just doesn’t fit into the httyd universe. NOTHING about her does. Like, first off she’s just a cat. And not in the same way toothless is. She MEOWS.

Her design is so overly feminized. It’s literally this meme

you cannot convince me otherwise.

i bet in 2015 you could’ve googled “girl nightfury” and found something better than that

AND there is no reason toothless would fall for her. First of all, they aren’t the same species. They’re subspecies. Like lions and tigers. And yes, lions and tigers can mate, but they don’t naturally and really shouldn’t. They’re offspring often has a hard time surviving outside of captivity. Toothless also would not abandon Hiccup, especially not for some random ass dragon that literally tried to blast his skinny butt into oblivion.

ok enough venting, here’s my honest opinion: if they really wanted a female fury, they should’ve just made her a nightfury. cut the lightfury bullshit. if they wanted her to stand out, make her albino instead of a subspecies. That’s all they had to do. But nope 😔. Dreamworks wanted money and a quick way to end the series. And that’s what they got.

[nocturnasnadderaneas]

my opinion overall about this whole horrifically inbred nightlights situation is that it happened because they wanted nightlights so bad but they didn’t want night furies despite them being necessary in order to make the nightlights a species, because for some reason we have to keep toothless special.

if they want to say grimmel killed all the night furies, then fine. but if that’s gonna be the case then nightlights shouldn’t exist anymore. if there are no night furies, then as the centuries go by only the light furies should remain, with maybe a select few individuals displaying very rare, faint recessive traits that could easily be confused as species variation.

with all dragons across the world being forced into a hollow earth and turning it into nothing more than a giant glowing fight pit, this would have been the perfect opportunity to show us how the dragons species we know and love changed, adapted, or evolved, and even give those semi-canon hybrid dragons their on screen debuts!

we should’ve been shown what modern day monstrous nightmares, deadly nadders, gronckles, and hideous zipplebacks looked like. or what species of dragons have been so successful that they haven’t changed much if at all, like crocodiles. hybrid crosses like deathly galeslashes, abomibumbles, ghastly zapplejacks, voltknappers, and cyclarions getting on screen debuts would be incredibly fitting and can tell us much about their parent breeds like how common they are and if they interbreed often or not.

and on the flipside of that, they could show whether if those hybrids also had to change or evolve in some way, those same hybrids interbreeding with other species of dragons until centuries down the line we see entirely new species of dragons that have little traits and adaptations that we could point to and go, “you guys got that from this dragon species!”

just like what i think they should’ve done with the nightlights. the nightlights should’ve been the ancestors of an entirely new species of fury. i honestly don’t know why they wouldn’t do this in the first place, especially since they seem to be going all in with the lightning abilities with them. plausible or not, the idea that down the line, due to centuries of incidental intermingling with dragons like skrills, light furies, sand wraiths, shockjaws, and maybe seashockers, you very well could have a tidal class, cavern dwelling, lightning fury is infinitely more interesting than...well, literally everything that’s going on with the nightlights.

Hello, new followers! My blog is a crazy place, so time to talk about some tags to make it easier for everyone. Though I feel as if I must begin with a disclaimer.

I love Supernatural, and tag that as #spn. If you are here for another reason, you can block that tag.

I love Star Wars, and tag that as #star wars. Again, block if you are not here for that, so you don't get annoyed. (My current obsession within Star Wars is The Bad Batch. You can block #the bad batch, and/or #tbb.)

I love cats. A lot. Feel free to block the #cats tag. I also will tag #my cat, or #my cats; and #loey (my kitties’ ship name), #alley cat, and #loki the cat.

Other tags I use frequently are #personal, #lol, #nature, #birds, #fanfiction, #fanart, #writing, and #whump.

Be warned, I am a huge fan of whump. If you don't like whump and don't block the tag you will see some things that might make you uncomfortable. Please, feel free to block the tag if you need to.

I seem to have picked up the habit of talking about what I'm reading, so for that I use #reading, and if it's a book (it usually is), I use #books.

If you are as annoyed with my mother as I am, block the tag #my mom. I'm in a tough situation here at home, so I do vent about it. Speaking of difficult, I sometimes use the tag #actually disabled.

If you want fun content, there’s the #my dad tag. He’s an interesting man.

I tag adult content as #nsft, and sometimes #mdni.

I try my best to tag #salt, and #wank.

I am participating in Whale Weekly. All Whale Weekly posts are tagged as #whale weekly, and #moby-dick.

When I'm reading Dracula all posts will be tagged as #dracula, and #dracula daily.

Other tags are #music, #The Lord of the Rings, #lotr newsletter, #The Hobbit, #game of thrones, #house of the dragon, #httyd, #rtte, #doctor who, #mcu, #good omens, #grishaverse, #tdp (The Dragon Prince), #atla (Avatar: The Last Airbender), #tlok (The Legend of Korra), and #toa (Tales of Arcadia). May occasionally talk about #sjm (Sarah J. Maas) and #tog (Throne of Glass) while doing rereads.

And apparently I blog about #pjo now!

If you're looking for my writing (if the tumblr search function ever actually works again), that can be found under #my writing.

And below the cut I have a masterlist of my writing!

[chaifootsteps]

I got nuthin deep or analytical to say, just wanted to thank this weird sort-of community for some great levity after being so disappointed by HB. This is the first time I've been in a fandom where the text in question has gone wildly off the rails (most of the other stuff I'm into is finished already, and not indie projects) so I've got new respect for other fandoms where the media crashed & burned. It's been nice to see everyone joking around as much as picking apart the wreckage that could've been a great couple of shows. I haven't given up on indie animation and I hope someday soon there are other shows we can all gush over together

It's been really surprising and wonderful to see. I've seen texts go up in flames and the communities that arise out of the ashes, but I don't know, something about this just hits different.

(Although HTTYD was another good one. The Hidden World salt server I'm in is still super active and going strong.)

[rirus-den]

Here we are baby, I'm back!! 

I pretty much come back to Tumblr every time there's any news about the Trolls franchise and then dip once again after a film comes out, but what can I say, carpe diem? 

I was not expecting an announcement so quickly but there it is! An official date of release for the third film of the Trolls saga. No plot premise, no teaser, nothing known at all about the film so I just thought to jump in with my predictions/wishlist for Trolls 3.

Disclaimer!! These are my opinions, I don’t expect everyone to agree with them and as much as I’d love to hear what people have to say, please be polite in the way you interact with others in the fandom, whether you agree with them or not. 

So, without any further ado, here's my predictions/hopes for the next trolls movie:

1. Branch-centred 

As much as Branch is already one of the main characters of the franchise, Poppy has stolen the show in terms of actually being the protagonist, and I think it's kind of unfair considering that Branch has more going on as a character. So far we’ve seen Branch’s arcs revolving around trying to win over Poppy’s affection, but now that after THIH and the confirmation of their relationship (amen) Branch needs a new point of development outside of his relationship to Poppy. And there might be an interesting solution.

2. Branch the King

This might sound very fanfiction-like, but I think it’s very likely for Branch to be considered the ‘King’ of the Pop Trolls, even only based on the implications of his relationship with Poppy. And I can see why it would make such a great conflict! Trolls hinting at him becoming king, would 100% make Branch spiral into a whirlpool of insecurities. How could he feel ready or worthy of such a role if  just a few years back he was the gray survivalist everyone wanted to avoid? In a kind of similar fashion to what Dreamworkd did with HTTYD 2, I’d love to see Branch battle with these new insecurities about the fear of becoming a leader and follow his journey into self-worth and acceptance (considering he’s pretty much already covering the role of a leader without even realising it).

3. Branch calling Poppy ‘sweetheart’

There’s literally no reason for this other than personal gratification. Take this with a grain of salt.

4. Insights of Branch’s other relationships outside of Poppy

I think since the first movie Branch has gotten better in terms of developing relationships with other characters, but it hasn’t been shown much in the past films, so I’d like to see how these other new relationships (other than the one he has with Poppy) would affect him, especially with characters like Prince D or Cooper, which I think are the closest friends he has at this point. Or even Cloud Guy, to be honest.

5. Movie’s enemy

Someone said that if we get one more female antagonist, trolls would be the first franchise to have had only female villains, and that to me seems very cool already. Either that, or a natural enemy? Like, something is destroying our home and we need to leave. Trope that has been used and reused multiple times, but honestly I just need an excuse to see different genres of trolls and different environments as they all just look stunning in that handcrafted sort of aesthetic. 

Personally, I really wished they never had to recycle Creek as a character in the tv show so he would make a comeback as a fully fledged villain, but it's too late for that now, isn't it. 

6. Other Trolls cultures

Disco trolls are 99% likely to happen so I'll consider that a win. But more music subgenre? Yes please! Especially if we consider music genres from different cultures with a different history. Yodel was something that I feel should have been developed more, especially if you can throw in different environments and designs for different trolls (trolls living in the snowy mountains yodelling? Why the hell not??) 

7. Poppy and Branch’s solo adventure

This is less likely to happen, but honestly I just want some good old 'married couple banter' just like what we got in the first movie. Leave James Corden and the two trolls under a cowboy hat at home this time, please. 

8. New grey characters

I feel like it's about time we get introduced to other grey characters, even just to see how greyness affects other trolls too. 

9. Something else other than turning grey

I’m 100% stealing the idea from someone's fan fiction here, but there should be a deeper state of depression other than being grey in the troll universe. 

10. Poppy saving Branch

This is probably the thing I want the most in the next movie, because I feel Branch has done so much for Poppy in their previous adventures but I still have to see Poppy do something for Branch. We have seen him saving her from turning grey in the first film, we’ve seen him jump to save her from Barb’s spell in the second one, I'd love to see Poppy be the one actually saving Branch, even for it to turn into a reverse ‘True Colours’ moment. 

Honestly, I just hope the film is good :)

Stay safe kids and have good Holidays!
