Okay so the httyd thing. I've been so excited to share this idea w/ you you have no idea.

So what I've been thinking, is Hiccup seemed to recover wayyyyyyyyy too fast for someone who's been neglected and ostracized from his entire community most of if not all his life. Like when Stoick comes home from looking for the nest in the first movie, and the villagers are saying things like "congratulations" or "out with the old in with the new" and "good riddance if you ask me" and they're "throwing a party to celebrate" Stoick assumes Hiccup is dead and that Berk is celebrating. Berk hated him that much. So what I'm thinking is, Hiccup has made inventions and stuff, he's been trying to do something that will prove he's one of them, a real Viking, trying to make them like him, and none of it worked. The only thing that made them realize he was worth anything was when he started being himself, but what if Hiccup doesn't see it quite that way. What if he thinks that if they can change their minds that quick to like him, then they might change their minds again if he doesn't stay useful. What if no one apologized to him for how they treated him? Because I don't think anyone did. What if his self esteem is still 6 feet lower than the ground and he's walking around waiting for the other shoe to drop. In Gift of the Night Fury we see he feels guilty for Toothless needing him to fly, and so he makes him a new tail that doesn't need a rider. Toothless doesn't want it, but that's not the point. What if Hiccup gives people the option to leave him, because he still thinks its possible that they will. It probably wouldn't be super obvious if he did, but what if he makes them all (Astrid, Tuff and Ruffnut, Fishlegs, Snotlout, maybe even Gobber and Stoick) inventions and things that make it so they don't have to rely on him so much? Leaning a little into Race to the Edge, what if he gives Fishlegs some books he's always borrowing, just as an example. What if they all think he's just being nice, and he's actually trying to make sure they don't need to have him around? This is probably a bit of a stretch, but it's all to say that Hiccup deserved better, and I want the gang to see that and help this boy dig his very very low self esteem out of the hole they buried it in. (Also I like to think that hiccup did this with Gobber when he was younger, because Gobber being the only one who didn't hate him is my emotional support headcannon)

TLDR: What if the gang realized that Hiccup has no self worth and thinks that if everyone could suddenly like him then they could still suddenly hate him?

This might be out of character, but I think all of Berk hating his guts and calling him a screw-up probably did some nasty damage to Hiccup's self esteem, and I want to see that realized and dealt with, because being hated and then suddenly loved might have been a dream come true, but it also probably made him scared it was a dream, and that he will eventually have to wake up.

(Finally getting around to responding to this - sorry it took awhile, I've had my mind on other things and I really didn't want to give a half-brained response when you put so much work into this.)

Ahhhhh, "social outcast genius equating his self-worth to his usefulness in the eyes of others" trope, my beloved.

I will say, my perception of his relationship with the people of Berk was always a bit more on the "he's a nuisance, but he's still family" side of things than out-right hatred. Like the equivalent of a small-town's troubled youth, they don't like him, but he grew up there and he's the village leader's son, so they still have some sense of ownership of him prior to his making them change their minds. If that makes any sense? ...they're Vikings, though, so it's hard to tell the difference sometimes, lol. But, in fairness - it's been awhile since I've watched the first movie, so I'll concede to the freshest memory here. Anyway, that's beside the point-

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this! Hiccup was definitely owed a town apology, at the very least. I understand why they didn't go into that in the movie - limited time, plus the the Stoic-Hiccup relationship was really the core of the conflict, so they opted to focus on that instead - but I agree it would have been nice to see some closure regarding the people of Berk's attitude and treatment towards him. Or some recognition for how it might have affected him after the first movie's conclusion. Because you're absolutely right, that kind of emotional whiplash can be damaging - especially on a teenager who already has considerably low self-esteem.

This does feel pretty in-character for Hiccup, in my opinion, considering the doubts he has in himself as a leader. He neither wanted nor felt right for that job, even when everybody else was sure of his qualifications. So it'd be easy to see him projecting his own doubts in himself on others and assuming they might see things the same way as him. That's the kind of thing that eventually fades as it's repeatedly proven untrue, but it takes time for that reassurance to grow, and the doubts would definitely be pretty prominent at the start. And him wanting to do what's best for everyone else, having the sense of love and responsibility for his community that he has, it makes sense he wouldn't try to hold on too tightly and would instead provide ample opportunity for people to leave if/when they wanted to. (Just like he did with Toothless.)

I think if anybody was gonna pull him out of that, or help him pull himself out of that, it would be Astrid. She'd immediately know something's up - she's always the one to ground him when he's too inside his own head to see things clearly. And unlike his confidence in himself, her confidence in him has never once wavered, she knows he's more capable than he thinks. Astrid also has a much healthier relationship with the rest of Berk, so if anybody can provide some reassurance on the public opinion front, it would be her.

...

All that to say - I like this idea! Very well thought-out and well-considered, imo. I'm not quite as well-versed on the HTTYD world as some people - while I adore the movies, I never quite reached fixation levels of interest in the franchise, for whatever reason - so I can't add too much to this. But I like it and I appreciate you sharing your concept with me! Thanks! :>

[sleepanonymous]

hi, hi, little shy to do this not on anon especially on a blog that's not a personal one but an RP one not sleepy related but just wanted to say: thank you for the missing media. thank you for letting us see what an amazing artist Vessel was (and obviously is) and for respecting his privacy still. thank you, thank you, thank you.

i loved the duet (one of your last posts) and the cover of a perfect circle and. it's just so damn special.

and also. you seem really cool and i wish i could be your friend!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Anon 🖤🥹 you're so sweet. It's a shame that the anonymity hides a lot of Sleep Token's older works from fans, especially when they're arguably just as good as the current music. There's a lot I can't share because I want to respect the anonymity, but I'm very grateful to share what I have with everyone and I love the positive reception it's gotten.

Also, don't worry about being shy, I 100% get that. I wanna be your friend too! I wanna be everyone's friend, actually, but I have a bad habit of leaving people on "read" and I'm god awful at conversations 😅 Anyone I've spoken to here can attest to that fact I'm sure. But I'd be more than happy to (try to) chat.

#lost media #asks #answered #(also if you've already sent me a message and i haven't responded or the convo died you can send me another) #(dms mentions replies and asks never bother me on here i promise) #(i'm actually still in shock that i get as much interaction as i do)

"I'm being ignored" also known as the person I want to talk to is currently busy/haven't even logged in

#i know that it counts as ignoring when a person intentionally doesn't respond to you #they still might have saw your message just can't respond at the moment #suo shut up #be patient and wait the person will answer when they can #it doesn't mean you shouldn't write them more #throw memes atthem while you wait

[oreoambitions]

Weirdly unpopular opinion, but it takes like 15 seconds to say hey I've seen this vulnerable/emotional/difficult thing you've said and I can't give you a full response right now but I intend to So that you don't leave the other person hanging indefinitely, and the other person doesn't have to wonder if your response to their vulnerable/emotional/difficult thing was to ghost 15 seconds. Just real quick. I see this and I intend to get back to you. Please.

#I have been in the habit of doing this for people for as long as I can remember #bc even if folks haven't outwardly said they have anxiety #it's normal to get anxious if you said smth heavy #and didn't get an answer! #I don't expect you to know when a good time is for me to receive such a message #and you can't always wait for a good time #totally get it #I expect you to be patient until I can respond #but in the meantime it's on me to tell you that I intend to #and if you don't make the effort to do the same #my man my guy my pal #I hope my well being and our friendship are worth 15 seconds to you

#I’m so sorry you have to wait so long for my replies lately #both for asks and dms #there’re days like today where there’s just not a single cell in my body that wants to/ feels able to talk #and then suddenly I can respond to everything within an hour on another day again #I'm being weirder than usual in that regard lately #it really has nothing to do with your messages it’s just my own incapability rn #please be patient with me #I'll answer eventually I promise

ACCOMPLICE : for one muse to assist the other at the scene of a crime. @flock-keeper

a comprehensive list of scenarios

This city was large and suffocating; a maze of metal and glass that obscured the sky. Disgusting. Far from the fields and rural territories of Kanto. But, for those very reasons, ripe with opportunity; ripe for profit. Though it wasn't him that decided to move some operations to Unova and Team Rocket was still young in the region; he felt the need to observe; get a handle on it for himself; determine how to proceed. Which, of course, included meeting their assets.

Giovanni knew nothing about this man; save for the fact he was looking for a means to make money. Supposedly, he and Petrel had worked together before, which was some small reassurance, but beyond that, they were strangers.

Something about him seemed soft.

A larger guy; yes; but still, something in his eyes, something in the way he walked implied to Giovanni that he didn't quite have what was necessary for the grittiest parts of this life; didn't have the composition to stab an innocent man through the chest just because they happened to have different ideals.

Giovanni wished he didn't either. But things don't always turn out as they wish.

It worked out well, he supposed; keeping the hired hands on the jobs of minimal importance; where secrecy wasn't the largest concern.

And yet--how awful it was--the same story, again and again; the 'government' hoarding and seizing; terrorizing the subjects it was sworn to protect into poverty and desperation.

And people wondered why organizations like Team Rocket existed.

Organizations of people who had nowhere else to go; of people who had been abandoned by society; of people who were bitter and lost, so desperately seeking a hint of salvation.

(Who was really the 'evil' group?)

Giovanni scoffed, head inclined as he rested against the wall. Really, he fit in perfectly to this gloomy alley; monochrome dress bleeding away into monochrome buildings; if it weren't for the fact there was a scheduled meeting, it may have been easy to overlook him entirely.

"Are you looking for me? Speak."

(Who was he? Nobody. None of them were anybody; simply nameless faces in the underground. An associate of Petrel. Nothing more, nothing less. Giovanni doubted this man even knew what Team Rocket was; knew anything of their greater goal. The money was all that mattered. All that ever mattered.)

He lifted his gaze to hone in on the individual. He was, indeed, almost certainly the individual Petrel had described, but they had procedures for a reason, and Giovanni would not stray from them.

A code phrase, to verify his identity.

Depression/PTSD recovery is wild because you could be doing greater than you've ever been in your life but then one small thing happens that reminds you of "that time" and suddenly all of the past emotions flood back into you and you feel like you're back to being the kid who's crying and shaking in the corner wondering if the people closest to you would be so much happier without you

#im being accused of faking my disabilities again and having them used against me #my mom hasnt talked to me for 2 days because of a shower chair being in the wrong spot #and said i use my adhd as an excuse to be stupid #and then i conftonted my partner about how he broke his promise to call me 3 days in a row #and he was drunk and saying things about how i cant understand how exhausted he is working 12 hr days (valid) #but then started calling me privileged for ''being able to sit at home all day and do nothing'' #(he knows that im only stuck in bed on my bad days and that i definitely do not do ''nothing'') #so i asked him to call me back the next day(sunday) when he was sober. he never called me so i had to call him. he was drunk #so i got mad that he couldn't even stay sober for a COUPLE OF HOURS to talk to me #when hes sober hes super understanding and will take my feelings into consideration immediately #but he kept taking me confronting him as an insult and started calling me names like lazy and a crybaby #and this is the person who has always treated me perfect otherwise and does everything he can to make me feel better #and his personality COMPLETELY SWITCHED and he sounded exactly like my abusive exes #i sent him recordings of the call and he sent me 2 messages saying hes sorrh and hes gonna work on his drinking and was gonna call yesterday #then i didnt hear from him again and while he was ignoring my calls he made a post on fb (that he never uses) that he wasn't going to be #talking to anyone for a while because im the only person who cares about him #and i commented and was like hello??? im that one person and you're actively ignoring me?? and he deleted the post???? #he didnt even send a message saying he wouldnt be able to call me #he never answered but when i called him today while he was at work he just responded ''cant talk im at work'' and i was like yeah ik but #im trying to get your attention because you wont tell me whats going on #and begged him to call me after work #hes acting like a completely different person now and i have a strong feeling that it's because at the place he works at in texas #they're made to work all day in a 110° warehouse #and with his insomnia and having to be at work between 3-5am he's barely sleeping while doing all of this #so im hoping his behavior is just a symptom of heat exhaustion and lack of sleep #because this isnt like him at all #im begging and begging for his attention and affection the same way i did with my abusive exes and my mom #i dont know what's going on
