"I should've seen the signs" I feel like Stoick was basically reliving the way he lost Valka.
To him, after a lifetime of wanting nothing but to kill a dragon, Hiccup's suddenly and inexplicably changed his mind. To him, Hiccup saying he can't kill them is just like when Valka refused to and tried convincing others as well, then as a result was 'killed' by one herself.
To him, way Hiccup tossed his weapon and shield to the side then approached Hookfang while speaking about how dragons aren't what people think they are probably bares an uncomfortable resemblance to the way Valka put down her weapon and stared a dragon in the eyes and as a result was taken.
To him, attempting to do anything but preemptively defend yourself against a dragon will only end in tragedy, so he has to do anything he can to stop Hiccup before it's too late.
(And just like with Valka, he unintentionally escalated the situation by trying to protect Hiccup but only agitated the dragon, causing it to panic and react, inadvertently putting someone he loves in danger. again)
Stoick of course, wasn't acting rationally, but it makes sense when you think about how traumatizing Valka's 'death' must've been for him (and how much Hiccup reminss him of her); he watched her get taken, presumably killed, and couldn't do anything about it.
#THE PARALLEL GHSSHRBFK THE PARALLELS#'so everything in the ring was a trick? a lie?' he was so elated when he though hiccup was finally taking after him#he convinced himself so hard that This was the real hiccup he's finnaly going to be a proper viking a real member of the tribe#and he was so proud and glad he finally had something he could connect with his son over#but again he'd convinced himself of all that. he completely ignored everything hiccup had to say#in his eagerness to actually be a Family to actually bond with his child#he was so stuck with this fake image of Hiccup the Dragon Slayer he'd convinced himself of to the point#when it all fell through he felt almost betrayed#betrayed and scared#scared he made a horrible irrational and emotionally charged decision of essentially disowning his son#im not saying stoicks a good parent. hes not. but hes trying and alone and taking care of an entire village as well as hiccup#and all the unprocessed trauma and emotional repression#hes not great but hes not bad either. hes trying.#hes trying and its not enough but at least it got better#i love stoick#parents of autistic kids they dont understand moment#httyd#stoick the vast#stoick haddock#hiccup haddock#valka haddock#httyd analysis#maybe?#hiccup horrendous haddock iii#haddock family#moth.txt#also pls dont tell me abt how valka and the 2nd movie wasnt planned yet. ik that but i like expanding on things#and pondering a characters reasoning for certain decisions bc its fun and makes them all the more fascinating#post rewatch 1am thoughts go crazy (sorry if any of this is like redundant or confusing. im tired) if u read the tags ily

kinda spoilers for the latest kuro arc if you aren't caught up
honestly, I'm now pretty scared that the next mini arc and series finale will be emotionally disapointing.
it's already obvious that the pacing has been bad for a very long time, and engagement gets lower and lower as we go on. but for some reason, it's never really clicked for me how emotionless I feel while reading recently.
it's probably because of how grim this orphanage mini arc is compared to the last two that it occurred to me: if I read or watched this arc consecutively in the form of a single chapter or episode, well dare that I would cry for these children, eventually. I would be riding the waves of trust and fear, and there wouldn't be enough time for me to process my feelings, leaving me a sopping mess. that's how I like to consume media.
but there's too much time in between, and so I don't... really feel anything. and this arc is sad, just as sad as those orphans during the Circus arc, but I just don't feel or even care for them a lot. to put it heavily.
this isn't a commentary on how I feel in the fandom now or anything, my point here is that so many people, me included, are looking forwards to the next mini arc with Ciel and Sebastian(especially the people who left the fandom until they return) because we're expecting new dark discoveries and emotional turmoil. this applies to the finale as well. blood, death, trauma, a moment of happiness, all that awful stuff will happen! but now I'm worried that the emotional impacts won't hit me at all, and then I'll be.... disapointed.
sad thoughts, sorry. in the end, I'll still be here. it's just weird that I only realize this now.

#litearlly dont talk 2 me i saw the knives panel again and smashed everuthing inmy room and set myself on fire#am i wrong 4 thinking that he shouldve had a little more time.am i wrong for thinking this guy.having lived in terrible fear#his whole life 4 what he thought could happen 2 him. to his brother. DID happen 2 his sister#should be able 2 experience some happiness and comfort for once#like yeah the guy killed hundreds of thousands SUREE ok.AND??? let the guy breathe a little#BAHAHA no i think i do still agree w the ultimate ending of him using the last of his energy 2 generate that apple tree#its sweet and i do like the sentiment it was just. Too.soon after it was literally right after#and im like coughing and hacking and wishing.that he and vash couldve spent those few months living (somewhat) peacefully#and secluded.before everything that happened#i guess there is a bittersweet tinge to knives dying before vash woke up / could say gbye but idk.i just grieve 4 this guy#even if a clean redemption isnt like#feasible in a sense U KNOW!!!!!!! but then again i dont think. satisfying endings have to be clean cut and perfect#like he doesnt have to be redeemed i think. not everyone needs Redemption as it exists in its current form#&& i do think that even after all he did.comma.he wasnt entirely wrong?like you cant rly blame him 4 rejecting coexistence#based on the way plants have historically been treated (assuming he also telepathized with exploited plants after the great fall)#though not to say that his decisions/methodology is right ykwim#and i know yeaa yeaa there was a lot of hypocrisy in how he used the other plants 2 amass power#ok this is literally getting too convoluted there r so many conditional aspects to this but long story short i do thnk he deserved.#a little something at the end;______; even if just 4 me to see art of them together post-final arc .#< me dragging my knuckles in the sand w open wounds or smth#sry vash post turned into knives sadblogging EHAHEHA but its like the nature of this^ guys life anyways LMAO#trigun spoilers#trigun maximum#trigun#vash

Placing such a hard time limit using the Calamity was exceptionally good and also inherent to the tragedy of it and im thrilled by it. Don't get me wrong, forced time limits in tragedies and doomsday stories are common for a reason. They work, and they work well. but just, within the context of EXU Calamity, its really getting me.
because its always about not having enough time, right? its about expecting that you'll have more. There's complacency with power, and mistakes, and wealth, but maybe what the Ring of Brass were most indulgent with was time.
(you always think you'll have enough time, more time, another replenishment, another deal, another broadcast, another batch of bright children. youll get another time to hash out an argument with your father. you'll get another time to stay home with your kids and get to know them. you'll get another time to apologize and explain and fix your broken relationship. there's just something else, right here, right now, that should get done first.)
The Ring of Brass were rich, in so many ways. They had power, and wealth, and a million responsibilities, and so maybe they would've argued they had ZERO time, actually, and they just needed to sort everything else out first, and they'd have enough time to figure everything else out later.
but that's the point, right? There's never really a good time for this. for the important stuff, or the end of the world.
(Laerryn was, perhaps, the primary person in the Ring Of Brass operating under a time limit from the get-go, trying desperately to get the Leyline working, because if it wasn't now, it would be never. Because Quay wouldn't live that long. But even she assumed that was the extent of the time limit, that for Everything Else, there would still be time.)
(And is that such a ridiculous expectation? Is that so foolish of her? Of all of them? You never expect the world to end. You don't have infinite time, sure, but- you've got tomorrow, or next week, or- just not now.)
And so it is tragic, but it is also weirdly satisfying, to see the way time got shattered and stretched and sped throughout that last episode. The first second lasted forty minutes. They get maybe two hours at the hands of a damned demon, and its the best blessing they've ever had. Rounds are six seconds. A broadcast is maybe thirty. A healing word, a Wish, a Wall of Force, all buying paltry seconds that make all the difference. The dawn is coming, Avalir is landing, there's so much that has to be done, and that won't get done. We watch them make hard decisions, over and over, and over, and we keep saying "there's not enough time". Because of course there isn't. There could never have been.

Got a coupon for Joanns that I have to use by the end of the month, but I've been very indecisive on the Vivec cosplay for which pattern I should use, so I would love to see everyone else's opinion. I'm going for more Vivec-inspired outfit than a 100% cosplay, and I'm basing it on his Morrowind appearance for the accessories
So I think I'll use these patterns to be modified for some of the accessories (x) (x). I'm also going to make some spats for my shoes, and hopefully make a Wraithguard. There's a few others things I'll have to come up with depending on what base pattern I go with, but these are the ones I have planned so far.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But now I just need the base outfit (which will be split yellow on one side and gray/blue on the other)
So my original idea was a sort of jumpsuit like this. Pros: probably easier to make than some of the others, but I don't know if it will look good with the accessories (or on me). It also is more casual than the others.
Tumblr media
Similarly, I could go more formal with a suit. Once again, I'm unsure if it will match the accessories as well though, but I like the idea more. A proper suit would also be harder and more expensive (from the materials), but on the same token would be good practice. I’d probably tone it down on the accessories if I did this one but idk
Tumblr media
Alternatively, I could go with a sort of dress.
This first one is technically a Daenerys dress, but I think the aesthetic matches morrowind well and it wouldn’t read like her with more accessories. I like the open front so the skirt is more like a cape than a skirt and the shoulders (although those might be covered by pauldrons). (x)
Tumblr media
I like the tapering and wave look of the skirt on this one, but it’s my least favorite bodice of the dresses. I might add a different sleeve if I did this one. (x)
Tumblr media
And for this last one, I like the bodice and sleeves, but it’s my least favorite skirt. You can’t tell from this image, but it is open in the front like the other two, but I might taper it from the front a bit like the previous one if I go with it. Maybe I could even mix and match these two since they are both Simplicity patterns. (x)

i have such a reputation that four separate people incorporated pringles into my birthday gifts. be that girl

Bit late now but I think separating classic who and new who would have been a good idea and a bit fairer.
well yeah, but also that would have been kinda less interesting, i've loved watching certain classic companions narrowly gain victories from what i thought would have been obvious nuwho sweeps (thinking especially about the ian/clara match) and also seeing which classic characters have ended up being winning and iconic (hi ian). tbh if there was one thing i'd change going back to the start, it would be not putting four characters from any category through, because that's what made it possible for there to (technically only potentially but probably certainly) be an rtd-only semifinal and final, although that's also in part a problem of assuming equality across nuwho eras and classic who eras as two broad categories, and then splitting every group across the four corners of the bracket rather than, say, putting two rtd characters into two of the semifinal feeders. idk, there's lots of ways it could have been done differently, but the "unfair" results are also part of the interesting bits for me

To those who remember a reblog regarding a post about user harassment back in Sept last year on my blog (I have since deleted this, but I know there are reblogs of it else where)
I wanted to let yall know that I (and only I) have reconciled with the user.
So just in case you see smth somewhere and are concerned for me, thanks, though I should have things sorted out for the most part, at least as far as I am aware of from my end. This was a very personal decision. Saying this for the record, there were multiple people affected by the situation, just because I resolved something with someone doesnt mean others have- this was a complicated situation. I can say that things have improved overall and hopefully, all that is left is to recover from it all.
(if you have no idea what im talking about- dont worry, tl;dr i resolved some stuff with someone s'all)

Camp NaNo Day 9

Snippet:
I shrug. “Will you come get me in the morning when you wake up?” I hear myself asking him. 
He nods. “Of course, though, you probably won’t like how early it will be.” 
I let out an exhale of a laugh. “You always were an early riser.” I meet his eyes again for a second before looking into my open bedroom. “You could come back if you can’t sleep,” I offer. 
His face breaks into that lopsided grin of his. “That won’t be an issue. I haven’t slept in days.” 
“Neither have I,” I admit. I grab his forearm gently, looking down at him. I hold his gaze. His face smoothes as he stares back at me. “Goodnight,” I whisper. 
“Until dawn,” he breathes, breaking away from me. 
I step forward, walking through my opened doors. I watch him as they’re shut behind me. He spins around and starts back down the hall just before they’re shut. 
My heart flutters. I find myself feeling very cliche when I realize what this feeling is. I am in love with him. Xander Merrik has stolen my heart without me even being aware that it was happening. I shake my head, but it doesn’t affect the grin on my face. 
I pull my cloak from my shoulders and toss it over the changing screen. I start to reach for my nightgown, but a knock on my door stops me. 
“Enter,” I call through the closed doors. 
Xander walks through the door before it can even be fully opened. He walks over to me, leaning up on to his tiptoes and kisses me. It’s just a quick brush, over before I can even react. “I couldn’t sleep,” he says. 
I smile down at him, pulling him back into me. I lean down and kiss him again. 
The doors thudding closed, break us apart. My involuntary flinch causes a blush to spring to my cheeks. His cheeks are rosy too, and this time, I know it’s from me. 
“We should probably talk…husband,” I laugh. 
He laughs too. “We should, wife.”
