#Seething Rage

I have my problems with the hidden world, like many others. And i just want to gather all my thoughts in one place here because i feel like many agree that the ending itself isnt the problem, but how they did it. For me, personally, they ruined it with the reactions to the dragons leaving. Specifically, the reactions of the dragons.
First, we have Meatlug, who in the past has been shown thay merely HEARING FISHLEGS' VOICE causes her to become overwhelmed with excitement. (RTTE S2E9)
And yet here, she looks like this:
Tumblr media
Like?? Not even a frown when she's leaving Fishlegs, who is clearly her favourite person in the world (literally watch ANY HTTYD media and this is made abundantly clear).
Moving on, we have Barf and Belch. Now it can be said that the twins and their dragon don't really have as many emotional dragon-rider moments as the others, but it is still clear that Barf and Belch love their riders. Except here:
Tumblr media
The twins look DEVASTATED, meanwhile they (sorry belch is cropped here I couldnt get a ss with both in it) hardly look sad. Barf at least looks a little upset but still, its borderline.
And moving on, to perhaps what angers me the most, Snotlout & Hookfang. These two are easily my fav dragon-rider duo/team, and for many reasons.
Very quickly, allow me to take you back to RTTE S1E13, in which Hookfang goes out of his way to protect "Girl-Hookfang" and her eggs from a Titanwing Monsterous Nightmare when she sends out what Hiccup describes as a "distress signal".
When Snotlout tells Hookfang to choose between him and the dragon, he ultimately chooses defending her. But at the prospect of leaving Snotlout, he looks LIKE THIS:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He looked MISERABLE and even made sad little dragon noises (idk how to describe them im sorry). So,
TELL ME WHY
IN THE HIDDEN WORLD
HE LOOKS LIKE THIS
Tumblr media
SNOTLOUT LOOKS LIKE HES LISTENED TO AN ENTIRE MITSKI ALBUM, BROS FUCKING SOBBING SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP.
And Hookfang hardly even looks at him, just kinda gives him a sideways glance. Like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HELLO???! And ONE OF THESE had a lower budget as a TV show AND a lower quality model (which, unrelated, ive seen some people really dislike but I think the show models are great!)
The only one to act somewhat appropriately is Toothless, who warbles and makes his little dragon noises at Hiccup, almost talking with him, they have their big heartfelt moment and their cute hug before he leaves. Because of course they get it, its Hiccup and Toothless.
And yeah i get it that clearly the dragons are sick and tired of hunters and therefore understand the need to leave. But they dont even look sad! Breaks my heart because after three movies, two tv shows and all the specials of the dragons and riders bonding and caring for each other and they don't even get a heartfelt goodbye.
And let us not forget that Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins, who have been riders since the FIRST MOVIE, and main characters in their own right for years, don't even get a GOODBYE LINE?? LIKE LITERALLY, Astrid and Valka? Absolutely, they deserve it. Gobber? Sure, he hasn't known grump nearly as long but he's been a relevant and important main character as long as the kids. And Eret-
Now, I love Eret. He's cool. He's great. Love a hunter turned rider.
But WHY DID THEY GIVE A LINE TO HIM AND SKULLCRUSHER (approx. 1 year relationship) OVER THE SIX YEARS OF FISHLEGS, RUFF, TUFF AND SNOTLOUT? THEY DONT EVEN GET A "Goodbye." WHAT.
And again thats not me shitting on Eret getting one, its on the others NOT
And this isnt even beginning to mention Valka and Cloudjumper do not START ME on their TWENTY YEAR FRIENDSHIP AND BOND BEING TORN APART IN A ONE MINUTE GOODBYE.
Anyways on a lighter note, the parallel with Hiccup removing his hand from Toothless in a reverse of the first time they touched all those years ago always gets me emotional. My fav part about the ending.
And that's pretty much all I like about it LMAOO

I was going to avoid this rant, but no:
People who work for debt collection agencies are among the lowest of the low. The scum of the earth. I wouldn't want anything to do with such people.
Breaking into people's homes when they're out. Sitting on their furniture and playing about with their belongings while knowingly ensuring they'll freeze during the winter?!
There is no excuse for them. And it's no surprise the type of people this so-called job attracts. I'd like to take a bat to them.
I'm fuming.
This is the video:
youtube
"The Times has been investigating how British Gas and other major energy firms are treating vulnerable customers during the cost of living crisis. While British Gas claims it helps families facing financial difficulties, there have been reports of aggressive debt collection tactics, including breaking into vulnerable people’s homes and forcing them onto pay-as-you-go meters. As a result, some families say they have been left for periods without any heating or electricity."
Somebody at the Times seems to have remembered what actual journalism is.

This Used to be a Tree
This mushy thing used to be a tree,until a heavy downpour from his eyes,skin bunching around the storm cloud,with thunderclaps and lightning bolts hurled down in seething rage. This used to be a tree,now, a wilderness of anguish,scrawled with words decried for their unsavory truth.Words are uncanny things sprawling with thorns slithering up the lattice to finally coil around the thoughts and…

Nasa point na ko ng buhay ko na makita lang kita kumukulo na dugo ko kasi naalala ko bad life decisions mo at selfishness mo, and how it actively and directly affects me. Gusto kita sabunutan at kaladkarin through your hair lalo na pag nakikita kitang prenteng prente parang di mo problema yung mga pinaako mo sa amin.

Eddie post a Tiktok that starts out with what looks like a weird green filter on it but when he zooms out, it’s a weird green jello dish. He pans the camera up to Steve and asks, “Hey babe, what’cha making?”
“It’s for Diane.”
Eddie pans back down to the jello dish and frowns at it. “To kill her?”
“It’s my mom’s recipe.”
“That’s not a no?”
“She made it for neighbors that wronged her, and my dad’s secretary,” Steve said primly. “It’s the only thing she ever cooked.”
Eddie flipped the camera to himself so everybody could see his raised eyebrow, “it’s a passive-aggressive jello monstrosity, got it. Why?”
“Diane said our decorations were ‘cute.’ Cute.”

On my Vol 10 reread, this panel stood out to me:
Tumblr media
There's nothing inherently weird about it to make it stand out. Other than it comes VERY shortly after Vash realizes Wolfwood is dying.
THIS is something I see get glossed over in favor of fanon characterizations of Vash that are all "love and peace 100% of the time".
Vash is ANGRY.
He's fucking furious. And it's only his willpower, and Wolfwood's love for his brother, that stop him from going ape shit.
There is so much seething rage underneath Vash that he hides behind the mask of pacifism. We see it mostly in the TriMax depiction, and only briefly in 98 or Stampede. But Vash is all about controlling himself. He can't control his body. He can't control his situation. But he can control his anger.
We see him angry a few times throughout the manga but this is where I seriously questioned whether he would break his vow and kill someone on my first read-through.
Would he kill for Nicholas D. Wolfwood? An assassin who converted to Vash's ideals AND IS NOW DYING FOR THEM because Wolfwood is trying to save Livio, not kill him. A man who he clearly loved. Wolfwood MATTERED to Vash more than almost anyone else in his life.
And Vash's ideals helped kill him.
Is the anger towards just Razlo? Or to himself as well?

OKAY who wants to hear about why i think nimona challenges amatonormativity? you do! 🫵
one of the main ways this is accomplished is through ballister and ambrosius’s relationship. it’s arguable that it doesn’t necessarily fit the traditional model of romance - not only are they a queer interracial couple, and not only is their relationship ambiguous in the book, but there are certain instances, especially in the movie, that subvert traditional ideas of romance and friendship.
one instance that really stands out to me is when the director asks ambrosius what’s on his mind and he goes on his imagined rant about how arm-chopping isn’t a love language - you know the one. when he mentions ballister, he refers to him as “the man i love, my best friend.” and not just one or the other, but both! the man i love, and my best friend. he places equal emphasis on both the romantic and platonic aspects of the relationship, valuing ballister in both a romantic context and a platonic context without treating either one as more important than the other.
and even moments such as the first “i love you” and the kiss manage to subvert tradition. both of these things are generally seen as a pretty big deal, especially in fiction - if the characters are kissing or saying “i love you,” it’s usually a moment in which everything changes. a line is drawn, dividing the story into after and now. sometimes it’s dramatic and climactic, with fireworks and a swell of music, but even when it isn’t it’s still seen as a turning point of sorts. now it’s official, now it’s real. but this isn’t the case in nimona. both moments are certainly significant - they do a good job of showcasing the character development and where ballister and ambrosius are on their respective journeys, and are certainly important in terms of representation - but neither one follows the path that most fictional romance does.
another way in which nimona challenges amatonormativity would be the emphasis on friendship! in the tavern scene (in the movie) when ambrosius suggests killing nimona, ballister disagrees and says “she’s my friend.” ambrosius replies with “aren’t i more than that?”, implying he’s more important than a friend - thus upholding amatonormative ideas. ballister becomes angry at that and leaves - challenging this idea and prioritizing his platonic relationship with nimona over his romantic one with ambrosius, as nimona is the one he wants to defend.
additionally, a big part of this scene is the way ballister deliberately rejects institute values while ambrosius unintentionally upholds them. and because the story challenges homophobia and transphobia (and other forms of bigotry) through the lens of the institute, it would make sense for it to challenge amatonormativity too! it’s something that’s become incredibly normalized, to the point that lots of people don’t even know it exists, and this is reminiscent of the institute brainwashing, especially when it comes to ambrosius - he’s been manipulated his whole life and probably genuinely doesn’t understand the level to which he’s internalized institute beliefs.
ballister prioritizes nimona many times, actually. when he tells ambrosius she’s “smart, kind, and quite sophisticated,” when he’s overjoyed to see her again at the end, when he refuses to kill her and saves her instead. over and over, he proves how much he cares about her, even when this involves directly going against what ambrosius wants - which, of course, is really what the institute wants. a core tenant of amatonormativity is the false notion that romantic relationships are more important or valuable than other types of relationships, but ballister actively goes against this!
to conclude, as a story that at its core is about identity and challenging societal beliefs, nimona defies expectations and traditional ideas of what it should or shouldn’t be. it’s possible that amatonormativity wasn’t what the creators had in mind, but the story still manages to challenge it with grace and elegance. just like its main character, nimona refuses to conform to what others want it to be.

Like I dunno, if you REALLY wanted to make a more "modern" interpretation of Persuasion it wouldn't even be hard if you gave it more than a 2 second thought. All you have to do is plop the characters in a different time period, say the late 60's jumping to the early 80's, make Frederick black and have Anne's godmother persuade her not to marry him because an interracial marriage in, what, 1968? or something would just be too difficult for the both of them. You want him to stay in the navy or whatever have him enlist in Vietnam boom jump cut to the early 80s he's a decorated war hero or something we can have a laugh at her father and sister because now they're the walking talking embodiment of Reagan era consumerism, they're stupid empty headed rich yuppies, like it's not hard :/
