Steve is "I have a guy for that" about everything but all of his guys are half feral teenagers with untreated PTSD, a paranoid lesbian, and Nancy Wheeler

Eddie is also "I have a guy for that" about everything but all of his guys are Wayne

screaming at ppl thinking astrid being more feminine is more progressive cause "shes secretly feminine AND strong as hel" as if women are allowed to be masculine in media lmfaoo oh the super cool badass woman is actually very feminine wow never seen that before

i think the thing that annoys me the most is that ppl were going on about it like when httyd2 came out and it’s been like what a decade now and they still say it like “well she’s feminine AND a hero!!!!! See you don’t have to give up being girlyyyyy this is brand new ! #feminismwins” like it wasn’t ground breaking or interesting or even true when the movie came out can you Stop already. daphne scooby doo movie already existed we’ve done that. Astrid deserved to be gross

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

genuinely unsure of how to go on

ok but the real question is why, in 2023, so many video essays still don't have actual captions

It's hard to pinpoint, for new people, the benchmark that tells when Eddie Munson has started to feel well and truly comfortable around them.

It's hard to pinpoint because he's so amiable and outgoing from the get-go. He's so willing to jump into conversation, to start sharing his thoughts no matter if they're only half baked.

He's personality at a 10 and he's unashamed to be himself and so it's hard, for anyone new, to feel like he's been anything other than totally and utterly at ease around them since day one.

Unless, of course, they stick around long enough for it to actually happen.

Because what becomes clear, but only with time, is that Eddie Munson may be a man of frenetic performance and staccato skipping through every social interaction he encounters, but that's not him at his most relaxed. How could it be? How could it possibly, ever, be when so much of that personality was borne of necessity?

Of survival and taking the heat off of people less capable of handling it and pushing up weirdo walls most people weren't willing to figure out how to climb, and thus ensuring he'd be safe behind them. That's the big hair and big noise and big taking-up of space. That's the Eddie Munson you meet on day one.

It's when he gets quiet that the difference is obvious.

Quiet, not like shrinking or hiding, but like contentedness. Like simplicity and the easing of responsibility off of his shoulders to be anything but present.

He'll sink into a couch at a party with his friends, arm up across the back where he can absentmindedly run strands of Steve's hair between his fingers and just listen to a conversation about the Pacers that he doesn't have anything to add to, but also finds himself happy to hear just from the joy it brings Lucas and Steve.

He'll lay flat on his back in the grass with his hands propped behind his head as the sun beams down on him and listen to the whooping boisterousness of a game of frisbee between Dustin and Erica, listen to Nancy and Robin gossip on the picnic blanket beside him.

He'll come home from a long day at work and shed his shoes, his coat, his voice so strained with offering up distracting commentary to nervous first-time tattoo clients, and lay out across the couch with his head in Steve's lap.

He'll hum along to Steve's recounting of his day.

He'll listen with full attention.

And he'll do it quietly.

Because he spent a lot of years having to be something big, and no matter how much that guy is still him in one way or another, having this? This option to let the other parts of him out for air? This choice in the matter made simply by having people he's comfortable enough to shed his armor around?

Well, god almighty, his gratitude is still plenty loud.

guess who's fear of not getting into a four-year college has been ✨thwarted✨

do you ever think how much more of Astrid we could have seen during the six seasons of RTTE? Imagine how cool it would have been if she had a personal physical dispute with one of the main villains. Why weren't more of her hobbies shown to us? And what about family? Her house was destroyed by a fire, but her parents were okay BUT WHERE WERE THEY? Why weren't those connections more prevalent? Why didn't they tell us more about those relationships? Where were the Astrid-centric episodes that let us understand more about her without Hiccup? Don't get me wrong, we still watched her perform a lot of awesome shit, and there were probably 2 episodes about it, but Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Heather each got their own episode every season. But what about the girl who indirectly caused the chain of events that led to there being dragons on Berk? She's such a significant figure in the httyd universe, yet we saw little to nothing of her, despite the fact that they had alot of material to work with.

girl sorry i never answered this like where do i even start… but literally SAMEEEE where is she why didn’t we get any of this

Also hiccup hijacked a bunch of “astrid episodes” and was an asshole to her and called her incompetent and didn’t trust her and punished her for having a life outside of him like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

give me her INTERNAL LIFE. where’s the Astrid who play fought with fishlegs and drew all those silly schematics of weapons and ughhhhhhhh

FanFiction.net is not gone.

Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

Correction:

The new "fake" site that people are seeing still belongs to FanFiction.net—they just misconfigured their servers and are not redirecting traffic from the bare fanfiction.net to the main site at www.fanfiction.net. There is likely no malicious agent. Didn't mean to scare anyone! Just wanted to let people know the site wasn't deleted!

So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".

Please share so people stop panicking.
