Wylan Is Literally Me. I Cannot Wait To Meet My Jesper

Has this been done yet?

k locknation i just realized something

lockwood goes pretty exclusively by lockwood, right? but we all assume it wasn’t always that way. when do we think the shift started? my guess is probably when he started working w gravedigger sykes, right? 

so... after jessica died.

after anthony became the last lockwood.

he’s the only one left. 

now there’s just... lockwood.

Premise: Viggo slowly becoming afraid of Hiccup. Not because of his skill or his intellect or Toothless, but because Hiccup is resilient as hell.

Because, despite everything Viggo tries, all the physical and emotional torture, he's still standing. Still stubbornly defiant. Still alive and still snarling at Viggo with rage and determination in his emerald colored eyes.

And slowly, Viggo becomes afraid. Because no normal person should be able to withstand even half of what he's had done to Hiccup. No normal person should be able to endure the trauma Hiccup has and still, mostly, act like nothing happened.

No normal person should be able to talk to dragons like they're friends. No normal person should be able to ride a night fury, to endure the whiplash and wind and the physical strain, and still be steady enough to fight seconds after dismounting.

Viggo slowly realizing Hiccup, truly, is no normal person. And that scares him, because now he doesn't know what he can do to actually win. Short of outright killing Hiccup, which would only get the rest of Berk on his ass, Viggo, for once, is lost. For once, Viggo doesn't have a plan.

jack wolfe is the powerhouse of the cell

Has anyone done this yet

people say “write what you know” and then get surprised when i hand them 47 pages of unprocessed emotional trauma disguised as fantasy worldbuilding

me, real

The part I appreciate the most in the Lockwood and Co show is how it handles depression and suicidal thoughts in teenagers. As a theme, it’s not often (ever) done well. Lockwood and Co is the only story I can think of that depicts it in a nuanced, realistic, non-romanticized way

but first, before I get into it: [if you’re in crisis or need someone to talk to and don’t want to/can’t use your national hotline, highly recommend Samaritans, genuinely saved my life] okay, let’s go

Lockwood is the most obvious, with his general disregard for his own life and admitted suicidal ideation. Lucy struggles with her self-worth and the intensity of the emotions she’s subjected to. George worries that he doesn’t belong, that there’s something useless or wrong about him. The show depicts these thoughts and feelings in a way that isn’t overblown or dramatized, it’s all but casual. Which is how it happens. Depression or suicidal thoughts don’t crash into you all at once, they creep into your life without you noticing

But more importantly (and again, something I’ve never seen anywhere else), the show also offers counterpoints to those thoughts and feelings. It shows that there is a way out, even though you may feel trapped and hopeless. This is crucial for the show’s target demographic. Bad media depictions of depression or suicide get internalized, contribute to the stigma, and make it harder for people to ask for help. This show doesn’t do that. This show tells its audience that, yes, things are scary and painful and it fucking sucks, but it’s not hopeless. And it says it so well

In the second episode, when Lucy wants to quit, she admits something that I’m almost certain she’s never told anyone

“sometimes I just think I’d be better off dead”

And when I watched this the first time, I expected Lockwood to react the way I’ve seen people react in my own life; with silence or panic or downright dismissal. But he didn’t. He stays calm and he says something that is so so important to hear when you’re struggling under the weight of feelings like this

“I understand that”

ugh wylan van eck's tale of self-discovery and growth, of fighting your parent inside your head, of being forced into a certain kind of life by things you can't control, of having religion used against you and finding the strength to mock it, of finding something to motivate you, of realizing that you're more than what you've been told, of finding someone to tell you to stop being ashamed, of finding that you aren't ashamed or afraid anymore, of being told that you're impossibly weak and realizing that really you aren't weak at all. man.

happy pride to these two<3
