people say “write what you know” and then get surprised when i hand them 47 pages of unprocessed emotional trauma disguised as fantasy worldbuilding
jack wolfe is the powerhouse of the cell
say what you will about leigh bardugo's worldbuilding choices but "guy who's hiding his superpowers is so constantly understimulated he developed a gambling addiction to cope" is fucking brilliant actually
love when jesper asked wylan "shouldn't you be in university" my brother in christ shouldn't YOU be in university
with next to normal/jack wolfe blowing up… should we seriously make a new shadow and bone petition? i’d do anything for jack wolfe as wylan again…
“It was prairie fire”💥✨
YES
We deserved to see Jesper shoot Jan Van Eck
the fact that the title of the musical is sung by natalie and she’s the one who turns on the light, because this was never about natalie but it was always about natalie
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.
i can’t believe we had jack wolfe as wylan van eck and netflix fumbled that. like. JACK WOLFE.
