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
WHY DID NETFLIX TAKE THEM FROM ME :(
I NEED THE SIX OF CROWS SPIN OFF LIKE YESTERDAY 😩🥹
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.
Wylan monologuing about the butterflies with a sassy ‘like he’d care 😒’ while the ‘he’ in question is literally dying on the floor metres away will always be iconic
kaz and wylan are very much foils, and while much has been said about their similarities and how their stories parallel each other, it’s also worth noting that while kaz gives up his rietveld identity to survive in the barrel, wylan clings to what makes him wylan throughout his time in the barrel. when kaz loses everything, he throws away goodness and honesty; when wylan loses everything, he clings to goodness and honesty because it’s all he has left. they have fundamentally different backgrounds which obviously influence their choices and outlooks on life, but it’s interesting nonetheless!
if i had a nickel for every teenage ghost show with one season on netflix that got canceled despite being popular and good quality i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING that it happened twice
The worst part about the fact that Netflix canceled the SoC spinoff was that I only got 1 season of Jack Wolfe as Wylan
jesper tosses and turns in bed all night. he kicks off the blankets to then hog them all to himself. he fidgets with everything and he gets extremely upset if wylan doesnt wanna cuddle. he annoys him to death.

update: i promise im working on it!!! its just slow going with work and school please be patient <3
have this as a teaser:
"Jealous of your desperate and pathetic pining?” George raised an eyebrow. “Absolutely not.”
“I’m not-” Lockwood’s brain stuttered. Desperate? Pining?
“Don’t even start,” George interrupted, shaking his head. “You’re impossible, Lockwood! You’ve been in love with her since the first day she walked through the bloody door, and the only one who isn’t aware is apparently the two of you.”
Lockwood felt his mouth drop open, his eyes bulge out of his head. Suddenly, forming a sentence seemed impossible. “W-What-”
“It is quite obvious,” Kipps cut him off. “You’re not subtle in the slightest.”
“Thank you, Kipps,” George sighed. “You don’t even live with them- it’s bloody disgusting. ‘Oh- Luce, do you need help with buttering and cutting your toast? What about your tea, one lump or two? Who am I kidding- I’ve had your favorite tea recipe memorized for a year!’ ‘Oh- Luce, are your hands cold? Let me warm them up with mine!’ ‘Luce, is that my sister’s necklace you’re wearing, or my mother’s?’”
“Alright.” Lockwood interrupted, trying desperately to ignore how hot his face felt. His insides were on fire- no, strike that, everything was on fire. Lockwood was surprised he hadn’t combusted yet. “What’s your point.”
For a moment, Kipps and George just stared at him in silence. George was making that face- the one he made when Lockwood was being dumb about research. “He’s hopeless,” George declared.
who would want a silly locklyle fic placed a few months after the end of the empty grave where they are invited to 2nd fittes ball except they (lockwood) still don’t really know they’re dating yet
