#that's sad
Text
I finally got why I love so much the "dragons are gone" ending in the books while I hate it in the movies:
The books set the dragons free.
The movies simply sent them away.
That's basically the idea but I had a vision yesterday at 3am so I will be getting into detail below the cut.
The books have a very strong message about slavery. Some would say that it is a concept that is only important within the context of the last five or four books, but the ones that have been paying attention to the saga as a whole knows that there are things happening in the background. You know, stuff like
People eating dragons
People stealing dragons from their families so
The dragons can serve the vikings
And they're expected to obey because
People threaten to turn them into bags.
That's mostly the first book.
Dragons are constantly showed as unsatisfied with the status quo trough out the books, some more annoyed with the vikings than others. We have complete monologues from different dragons before the war is even a possibility. Sincerely, when it happens, it feels natural.
The idea of freeing the dragons is not one that comes up in the last book, not even close. The first time it is considered an option is in book 9 (I think), and, by the time being, we've already stablish lots of concepts as slavery within human beings, the dangers of a war, how this could lead to the end of all and freeing the dragons is the only option.
It is fatalist to say the least, but it's not going out of nowhere. There is a lot of worldbuilding (more on that later), but it is also the right thing to do. By the time Hiccup is presenting the option, Cowell has made us root for the dragons to be free and wild and do whatever they want, even if what they want is to hide under sea for thousands of years. Or if they don't want, or if the want to but just not in that moment, they can do it.
Oh, yes, because they leave GRADUALLY.
It is a sad ending, but still manages to get as satisfactory because, yet again, we know this happens and the books remind us this will happen eventually every time they can. “There were dragons when I was a boy” is literally the first phrase in the saga.
And then we got the movies.
The movies never followed the books. Like, not very much. The writers decided that they wanted to tell a story of a broken relationship between a father and a son while using dragons, the heroic and prophetic aspects of the books were getting on the way of that and they scrapped the idea. So, no, you can't tell me the movies actually follow the books.
However, if you're very technical, you know the Hiccup we see in the movies resembles Hiccup I, the one that stopped the war between vikings and dragons in the books, stablishing an equal relation between the two races. And this idea of the movies being a prequel can work for the second and specially the first movie, disregarding the fact that there are no prophetic or magical elements at all.
But THW exist and... Exist.
Suddenly the writers and producers decide that they want to follow the books and want to get rid of the dragons, something that is completely against the message of the other two movies.
(I am just talking about the movies, the shows-books relationship is very different and I will someday make a post ranting about it)
The movies do NOT talk about the dangers of dragons being with vikings or how the vikings mistreat the dragons or how bad is slavery or anything like that. The second movie does, yes, but the second movie also sends a message about how people benefit of being with dragons. They have their dragons and they're strong because of that friendship. Being at war with one another only brings loss and suffering for both bands while being together promises an actual future. A bright future that no one imagined before the first movie and that now they cling to.
Dragons and vikings are friends and together cand do basically anything.
That's a very strong message, you know?
And you know what? The third movie decided that such a strong and important message about friendship should leave the franchise completely.
“Free the dragons” it's a concept that doesn't fit with the movies. They're not slaved, they're not away from wildness and, most importantly, they CHOOSE to be with the vikings in the first place. They are already equals, they can do what they want and, you know, they are with the vikings because they want to.
But no, let's do a movie about letting friends go as if it could actually fit in the saga.
(I know it could actually fit but the execution was terrible).
As I said before, the movies resembles Hiccup I befriending dragons and we know how it ends. And someone who has never read the books will go and say "well, it was bound to end that way, why are you mad?” I tell you the difference right now: there's 1000 years of difference between the befriending and the parting in the book, 1000 years in wich we witness the deterioration of said friendship (from being friends and equals to being slaves). That's no what happens in the movies. The films give us 6 years and the only deterioration is within Toothless' character and how they made him a horny dog.
The dragons shouldn't have leave. This was a whim from the writers that thought that ending both stories the same way would be cool. It isn't. At all.
Long story short, it doesn't fit thematically. The movies and the books have different themes with different concepts and different characterizations of the dragons. While the books got story building and present the theme's since the beginning, the movies get it out of no where ignoring the themes in previous works.
Anyways, go read the books they're jewels and the ending isn't as shitty as thw make it look
#httyd#how to train your dragon#httyd 2#httyd the hidden world#httyd book#httyd books#im angry about the ending#probably because I'm watching rtte and i llve the relationship wuth the dragons#and the characters themselves#freeing the dragons is an actual theme in rtte but not in the movies#that's sad#also i don't think the shows follow better the books but#they actually use themes from them#english is not my first language#sorry if i wrote anything wrong#i love the films#i know it sounds as if i hate them but i don't#they're basically my favourite movies of all time

Hey!anon here! Since you made a Fluff Alphabet for Dori,can you maybe make an NSFW version? If not,or request are closed then it's okay 🍵🌷
❇starfirette renaissance day two...?!?!?!?! I thoroughly enjoyed this!
❇Dori Sakurada NSFW Alphabet | more Dori fics here! | masterlist
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Pillow talker meets attentive retail staffer. Encourages you to pee and shower up; engages in aftercare behaviors you additionally require, such as reassurance or food. He’s very much your dom so he takes his role seriously. Your health and wellbeing is incredibly important to him so he’s going to pay attention to that first!
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
He prefers his mouth or his hands; he is self aware and he knows that he was asked to model a lipstick for a reason. As for you, he loves your hair. To pull it, to control you with it; or to softly play with, braid absentmindedly…
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
On your tongue. “Be good and swallow it”
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Is a kinky, kinky man. He wouldn't consider this a secret if he weren't so well known. Being that he is famous he keeps it on the down low. Very likely to be into BDSM as a dom only.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Average experience. Has had sexual relationships with partners and BDSM experiences with strictly sexual partners.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
He likes when you're on your knees or intricately restrained
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Maybe strikes jokes in a mocking way, sometimes are your expense but he wouldn't ever mean it
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
I doubt he'd shave at all. Maybe to keep things neat but he doesn't bother trying to stay bare
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
If he's in a relationship and he loves you, then he can be tender and romantic. But with a strictly sexual partner or a one night stand, he wouldn't bother/feel comfortable
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Makes you watch while he edges himself. He likes the JOE
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Dom and Sub, as well as pain infliction and degradation. He thoroughly gets off on being in complete control. He edges himself and he'll edge you, too
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Mostly in his own place just because his toys and his ‘area’ is there
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
When you whine. When you misbehave. When you obviously are in need of his attention
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
I don't foresee him being into the Daddy thing. He's more of a master
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He likes to grip a fistful of your hair while you guides your mouth up and down on his cock. He also likes to tie you up and put a gag in your mouth before he goes down on you. Sometimes, as a punishment, he'll overstimulate you. He won't take it easy. He won't let you think of it as a prize: he'll suck your clit like a jolly rancher while you scream over the gag. He knows it gets uncomfortable after a while and that's why it's a punishment
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Fast and rough over slow and rough
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Not his forte
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Oh yes, absolutely!
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He can be pretty tired after a long day of work and filming and everything else. It really depends on how far you two want to go and if he has the time and energy to do anything. Of course if you two want to have a chill quickie he's totally down! I think he doesn't mind being a soft, service dom, especially if you ask!
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Why yes he certainly does. I imagine a sex swing, rope, floggers, and gags are some of his favorites. Just anything to keep you restrained. He is content with using his hands and mouth to punish or reward you.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Very much likes to edge you! Most of the experience is foreplay. Generally getting you wet and excited. You like to be teased, he likes to tease you, so it’s a win-win.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He’s loud and he LIKES being loud, he PREFERS it. If he has to yell at you then we will. Brats will be punished. But good girls get their praise. Loud encouragement is the best encouragement. He is vocal about his own pleasure and he is sure to let his girl know she’s doing such a good job.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
You two have made sex tapes, but they’re kept on your phone and not his
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
I imagine he is chiseled and sharp edged, toned with slight muscles that make him bulkier than he typically would be. I also have to say he is hung as a horse
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
I think that the more he loves you the more he finds himself craving you. He thinks about you all the damn time. You consume his thoughts when he is bored or daydreaming. He finds himself fantasizing about everything he wants to do to you when he sees you next
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Once you’re all cleaned up and taken care of he’ll feel comfortable to chill and fall asleep. Part of being a dom means looking out for your sub. He takes it very seriously and he’d never want to leave you without the aftercare that you need

How would you describe Laura’s personality
If I had to type down personality traits, I'd say some stuff like.... stubborn, cynical, cruel, aloof, sardonic, hardworking, loyal, blunt, sour, tired, gluttonous, spiteful.
She's a cunt is what I'm trying to say.
#hellsing oc#my oc#laura chastel#ask response#just absolutely hates being around#she eats a fuckton too#that's why she's so strong#99.99% carnivore diet#the 0.01% is for booze#when I think about it she's like. the POLAR opposite of what she used to be.#that's sad

So, I see in some of your art Leo stiil have red "Prime" eyes in post-prime and healing arcs. I can bet it another good angst material. Does he hates this new part of himself like the arm? He looks real cool, but it hirts how Prime took even that from Leo. He and Dony nolonger have this cute matching Heterochromia :(
yeah, Leo gets stuck with red Kraang eyes. his eyes, arm, and scars are the three most obvious changes Prime did to his physiology
(if you think about it, Leo's pretty much part-Kraang because of that, which yaaaaaaayy.....)
and yes. Leo does hate his eyes as much as he hates his arm, even more so. at least the arm he could get rid of, but he can't get rid of his eyes, sooo....*shrugs*
no more fun and cute twin mirrored heterochromia, which sucks
#it's actually a bit depressing drawing pre-invasion leo vs. post-prime leo#like. aside from the obvious physical changes he's just more...tired. and subdued#that's sad#he'll get better. but damn.#i'm really doing a number on this poor boy#rottmnt#tmnt#sonny answers#my art#sonny draws#prime leo au#disaster twins

I was reading the Jazz article of the DP wiki today and there was a paragraph which caught my attention:
She wishes she can be dead a ghost to get the Fenton parents attention. I couldn't believe this and I can't watch the show right now to confirm it myself so I did the next best thing and looked it up in the shows transript of the episode "Reality Trip" which is also in the wiki:
It seems Freakshow and Jazz did have a short heart to heart in the epsidode where they discuss their similar upbringing!
This is quite sad... Most of the time Danny gets the full tragic past attention in fanon but Jazz is equally hurt from her past ( and Freakshow apparently)
#danny phantom#jazz fenton#freakshow#Sometime i think all the sad stuff is just a fanon thing#than I read this and my mind is blown#that's sad

I can accept most of opinions that Caesar isn't a good person, UNTIL after a worthy arguments ✨the argument✨ comes up and his name is Lucretius Flickerman.
In general, I don't like the idea of characters' kinship, because "hereditary professions" is a very lazy and simple option. Children do not always follow in the footsteps of their parents for various reasons.
It actually surprises me (although no, it was expected) how quickly everyone around decided that L*cretius was none other than Caesar's father. When I read the ballad, I thought if he was an ancestor, then some kind of weird uncle or grandfather that everyone forgot about (because he was quickly removed). So, if he exists in my version, then he is a local tio bruno (but I love bruno, this is different case), at every mention of which Caesar is embarrassed and cringes, so we don't talk about L*cretius us us us.
And when someone says that Caesar got his entire job and position only as an inheritance from his father, it really disturbs me, because this guy literally did not exist 3 years ago. He's like a bonus. Can't take it as something serious and meaningful idk. I have a feeling that Collins didn't plan to write a prequel at all, don't know why she wrote tbosas in this way((( but that's topic for different conversation.
I love funny weird characters and parrots but it's not the case. I wouldn't have any problems with L*cretius character if his last name wasn't Flickerman.
#every time I come across this I get really angry >:(#that's sad#we may have different opinions but I wanted to say this#I'm protecting caesar's uniqueness everyone back off#have more to say but just you wait just you wait#thg#the hunger games#tbosas#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#caesar flickerman
