God Bless The OUAT Fandom

Update, I’m going to use terrible terrors. It’ll become dragons of unusual size. Basically they will be very very tiny in this version and dragons are known for being…bigger.

I’m writing a princess bride hiccstrid AU and this is very important.

What should the ROUS (rodents of unusual size) be? There are already dragons so I need something quick!

Maybe some type of dragon or something I can’t think of right now.

OKAY how did we forget Gustav has a HABIT of running around on all fours, why did I just witness his goofy ass salute Stoick and then run off like a hyperactive boar (rtte wings of war pt 1)

Not to mention he did this in riders of Berk too like what is this kids problem

one my absolutely favorite things about Hiccup is that he’s so supportive of his friends, like even when the twins or Snotlout didn’t mean to give a good suggestion, he’s always praising them for it. He’s always the first/or only one to worry when one of them goes missing. He understands Snotlout inferiority complex, he finds ways in battle to let the twins be destructive in healthy ways, he nerds out with Fishlegs, always makes sure Heather know she’s welcome, is fully prepared to just be friends with Astrid if that’s what she wants, he just loves his friends so goddamn much and it makes so happy.

“He thinks he has to lead alone… because his father had to”

That scene left me somewhat sour when I first saw it, and it still does. Valka is trying to give Astrid advice as she was the woman married to the Chief. As Chieftess one would assume Valka had responsibilities as well, and her first duty was to her husband.

But like, I don’t think Valka had the right to be coaching Astrid? First of all, the reason Stoick was left alone was because of YOU, Valka. Hiccup has this impression of his father because Valka was never there. Hiccup figures that if his father, who would always be mourning the death of his wife, could do it, so could he. And honestly, I think Hiccup doesn’t like to mess up, not necessarily that he thinks he has to lead alone. He can be in his head sometimes, but we’ve seen him incorporate other’s ideas (in RTTE which was totally not taken into account in THW) and I don’t think Hiccup has ever admitted that he thinks he has to lead alone anyway. So I’m not sure why Valka thinks she’s right. Unless it was said offscreen, but what would that matter if the audience didn’t see it.

The movie lacked any real scenes between Valka and Hiccup imo.

And then Valka suggests Astrid console him, as though Valka knows Hiccup all that well. I know she means well, and had known Hiccup for a year, but I don’t think she had the right to play parent when he’s a grown adult who’s leading the village.

I get Valka is the voice of reason like Stoick was to Hiccup and Astrid (we see that mainly in RTTE between him and Astrid), but personally, she didn’t earn the right to give advice regarding the son she left behind for twenty years.

You wanna play wise parent now? Too late.

Again, I know she means well and is able to recognize her husband’s challenges in her son, but I just think the conversation was unnecessary. Astrid already KNOWS what to do with Hiccup. Astrid’s really the only person that can get Hiccup to spill and he’s always honest with her. Astrid knows how to handle him, and she knows how to communicate. Heck, Astrid knows Hiccup better than Valka does.

I’m sure the writers must’ve realized too late that there weren’t any scenes between Valka and Astrid (which sucks because I feel like Astrid would hold some resentment towards her on Hiccup’s behalf, and that would’ve been an interesting conversation) and they needed to come up with a scene. I don’t see Valka as wise as Stoick was. She’s cool yeah, and this post wasn’t made to bash her, but her character overall was just not handled right from the start.

Is it just me or is Valka’s character so…confusing to me?

I don’t get her character at all. In writing sense, in the way she’s presented, how everyone reacts to her?? She’s a walking contradiction.

I need to rewatch HTTYD2 and do a full analysis of her character and writing because she refuses to leave my brain. Full analysis coming because I NEED to pick her role apart.

stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.

ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend

dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera

and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.

but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.

nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.

bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.

stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.

and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.

anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight

Belos is the one most terrifying kids cartoon villains.

But why?

It’s because he’s tangible almost. He’s real.

Let’s break it down.

Belos is human. He can only be seen reflecting ourselves. While other villains are amphibian kings or godly triangles, or even in our own show- a child that holds way too much power, a woman who cursed her own sister, or a witch kid.

Belos is real. Belos is seen everywhere in the world.

Going further, let’s simplify him.

Belos is a religious dictator who says his way is the only way. He speaks for the Titan. And only he can do so. Any who disagree are damned for eternity.

Belos is a human whose core belief is that his race is the superior one. He’s from the 1600s where witch hunting is their culture and to be a seen or side with a witch is a death sentence. He takes this farther by believing that they deserve death and to suffer.

His beliefs and motivations are things that are inherently wrong yet he’s a political figure that people worship.

When he fails to indoctrinate his brother into his inherently evil ways, he kills him.

Belos is a person who goes against every message being pushed in the owl house.

He is against identity. He is a bigoted mad man. He is a religious cult leader. He attempts genocide.

Sound familiar?

Oh wait those are so many of our current government leaders in the world.

Belos is real in the sense that he is human in the sense that his history has happened and will happen again.

And that’s terrifying.

And important.

This mirror of modern times should terrify us. Because belos is only human and so are we.

If this doesn’t make sense, that’s because I’m sick and it’s the next day. This is my own interpretation but please reblog with your own thoughts because this topic is like one of my favorite things about TOH.

Talk to me…I’m a lonely soul…

There's also just years and years of slow burn but that didn't fit

Me when I wanna be a hairy cis looking non binary person

When I say nonbinary people can look like anything I am aggressively including nonbinary people who have beards, body hair, and who are assumed to be cis guys, firstly because that’s also me and secondly because we’re always overlooked or subjected to cringe culture. Nonbinary doesn’t just mean skinny, pale and absent of gender signifiers.
