#GOD i WISH theyd let him commit to being himself in the third movie :(

[famderfries]

Thinking about how Snotlout has this grand facade that no one really believes that hes cutthroat and suave and cool and manly because thats what his father says he should be, but he will see one (1) dragon that he likes and immediately melt and cry and show hes literally anything BUT his father

#And he always goes back into it too :( #GOD i WISH theyd let him commit to being himself in the third movie :( #like if theyd given him solid developmen and than killed him off it wouldve given hiccup all of the motive to send the dragons away #Snotlout is one of those characters that isnt allowed to change for reasons you csn totally empathise with and I love him so much #Snotlout is GENUINELY a complex character and the movies do him kinda dirty tbh #Like you have this fuckin. swagged out bully who thinks hes so cool and so strong and all that. and he deprives his dragon of sleep- #and attention and youre thinking 'God This guy sucks.' AND THEN YOU MEET HIS DAD AND YOURE LIKE OH. NEVERMIND #and honestly? peak character introduction #Having Spitelout himself be such an absolute asshole who only believes in muscle and strength and masculinity is so interesting #And the whole group hates him!!! and they put up with Snotlout partly because his dad SUCKS. #AND AND AND. SNOTLOUT IS ACTUALLY SUPER COOL. HES ACTUALLY HAD SO MANY COOL MOMENTS BUT ONLY WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING #AND THATS BECAUSE AROUND EVERYONE ELSE HE FEELS THIS PRESSURE TO BE WHAT HIS DAD EXPECTS BUT AS SOON AS HES ON HIS OWN HES SOOO COOL #like hes genuinely so likeable and soft and caring but Spitelout is such an abusive piece of shit that he doesnt like him for it #this is surface level analysis treated as if its profound but you get the point #heres your monthly snotlout rant #apollo says stuff #snotlout #snotlout jorgenson #snotlout httyd #httyd #how to train your dragon #rtte #riders of berk #defenders of berk #rob/dob #apollo rants abt httyd
