Lost 3.15 | Left Behind

- What are you talking about? What’s after you? It doesn’t matter, they aren’t looking for me anymore.

I’ve decided that in a modern AU, Snotlout is actually the one that drives everyone everywhere on long car rides in the gangs shared van. Here’s my reasoning.

Hiccup, while being a great driver, lives off of caffeine and spite, and if left to his own devices and too much caffeine, will try and do tricks in parking lots that usually end in him crashing. And once this boy hits the freeway, he goes as fast as humanely and legally possible.

Astrid gets road rage over every minor inconvenience, and doesn’t believe in right of way unless it applies to her. She also keeps the windows down at all times and speeds, even when it’s -25 degrees outside or there’s a hundred bugs outside.

The twins are actually decent drivers, but go out of their way to break every driving law possible, especially in the presence of cops. They’re infamous for numerous high speed car chases with the cops, and are on a first name basis with half the police force for their driving shenanigans alone.

Fishlegs drives like a grandpa: five to ten miles below the speed limit, uses his blinkers religiously, and waits too long to take an opening. When he does get behind the wheel, he also chooses the longest possible route to literally anywhere, insisting they enjoy the scenery. This usually ends with everyone being late to everything in varying degrees of tardiness.

Snotlout, while a bit of a hothead, with minor road rage issues of his own, doesn’t try and do something that’ll potentially wreck the car. He comes after everyone about leaving their garbage in it, nags Hiccup into teaching him how to do repairs on it. He refuses to drive after having a single drink, he hand washes it inside and out every month. He treats this car like it’s a temple…..mostly because it’s actually his car that he’s lent partial ownership to the others, which is also half the reason he’s the designated driver.

Just thought y'all should know

Maybe one day, you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

"You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day, you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies"

"Well, you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

Cause you loved her too much, and you dived too deep"

The way these lines make my heartache cause because of his past failures in love he doesn't even think that he deserves to be loved or to love someone and that every single mistake in a relationship is his fault and if he complains it'll die just like his past relationships. The way he wants to touch her and feel her but can only dream about her and regret his mistakes while lying in bed dreaming about her at night. The way he dived too deep into her to ever completely let her go she is a part of him now and the way the passenger compares her absence to things that we see every day just implies that he misses her and sees her even in the most mundane things in his everyday life it just hits home. This right here is pure tragedy.

Işığa sadece kısıktayken ihtiyacın var Güneşiyse sadece kar yağmaya başladığında özlüyorsun Onu sevdiğini sadece gitmesine izin verdiğinde anlarsın Sadece kendini düşük hissettiğinde yüksekte olduğunu bilirsin Evini özlediğinde de yollardan nefret edersin Onu sevdiğini sadece gitmesine izin verdiğinde anlarsın Öyleyse bırak gitsin

~Passanger-Let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow, and they go so fast

watching ii with the bestie she's becoming increasingly frustrated <3

only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

What really pisses me off when people are like. No child should be friends with an adult; it’s (insert word/phrase that has been misused so much it’s kinda ceased to have meaning to me anymore) is… My older friends? Even though I’m 28 and yknow. An Adult. Have literally saved my life. Like not only do they have more knowledge about how things work (like Medicaid and food stamps and student loans and resumes and and and all the other shit nobody bothers to teach you and can be hella confusing/nearly inaccessible unless you Know but is hella important/can really fuck up your life if you’re not careful) and like…more experience so when they tell you “it’s gonna be hard, but you can handle it” or “I know it looks scary, but it’s not that bad and I promise you’ll get through it” or “it doesn’t matter if don’t graduate college, look at me. I didn’t. I’ve got a stable, well paying job. It’s not impossible to be comfortable without a college degree. And look at (other friend who is sitting right next to them), they worked their ass off for a double degree and currently not using it! You’ll be okay, you’ll figure it out.” your brain can actually believe them cuz yknow. They’ve been where you are. They have that life experience. And they’re not gonna lie to you because they love you and respect you too much to do that.

Like I don’t want to make it sound like friendship is a commodity, but older friends and intergenerational friendships can be so extremely valuable, especially to vulnerable younger people in abusive households. And I don’t even mean like in that they can offer you a place to crash cuz not every friend is gonna be able to do that and that’s OKAY. But maybe they can still help you in other ways. Even if it’s “just” holding your hand and validating your fears while you cry your eyes out but reassuring you that they believe in your ability to work through it. They believe in *you*. (And yes, I REALLY appreciate the same sentiment from friends my age and it’s also extremely helpful and I love them so very much. But it just sorta hits in a different way coming from an older friend. Not in a way that’s better or worse. Just different.)

Also something something seeing that you have a future when you can’t see past the next year or six months is just. So fucking reassuring.

Also. Older friends are just plain fun. I love my older friends and my life would be so much poorer without them. So yknow. Fuck people that condemn intergenerational friendships.

Also also something something something ‘fuck you for making me feel terrible/paranoid about wanting to offer my own experience to those younger than me. To help them in any way I can. As another fantastic and dearly beloved friend says. “If you start sounding like my mental illness, YOU are the problem and maybe need to re-evaluate some things.”’
