Facing Truth

mate, i never think

not a thought behind those eyes

Sighs. Okay yeah i have thoughts about cgi toothless.

First of all, why does he look so... slimy? He feels too smooth. Like they just stretched some scaly skin over a skeleton and let it walk around. Immediately offputting.

His body language is. Fine? Am i being nitpicky or does it seem just the tiniest bit less expressive? I'm guessing this is either the scene right after hiccup cuts him free, in which case he should be way more intimidating, or the fish-sharing scene, in which case he should feel a little friendlier and more curious around hiccup. It's a quick shot so i won't put a ton of expectations onto it, but i think it's worth noting.

Okay this is a legitimately cool detail though. He has a secondary eyelid!! You can see it slipping away when he opens his eyes. That's a detail exclusive to the books so i like that they included something as small as that.

Sighs again. And this is the shot that prompted me to make this post.

Look at the original, and then look at the cgi version. I could write an essay about how inferior the cgi version is in comparison.

First off, they flattened his face. I swear every iteration of night furies after the first movie has just been compressing their snouts until they're sufficiently 'cute' enough for the audience to forget they're supposed to be sleek and aerodynamic.

Second, his eyes. Absolutely radioactive. I understand using a brighter colour for his eyes, especially in a relatively darker environment to make him stand out and seem more fantastical. But. They're just so bright. It's mildly unsettling how saturated they are compared to everything else.

Third, his eyes. Again.

Toothless is supposed to be terrified but still threatening in this scene, and the original shot conveys that perfectly. If it's a threat, then by all means hiccup should kill it or at least run, but instead he draws a connection between both of them being scared of the other and decides to cut him loose instead. And that's the core of their relationship. Toothless is staring him down with a slitted pupil that could just as easily be interpreted as "fuck around and find out" but hiccup just acknowledges that there's a frightened, injured animal in front of him that needs help, and he helps.

Is any of that conveyed in the cgi version? No!! It's trying so hard to be cute that it's gone full circle back to just being scary. The wide-eyed stare, the dilated pupil, he's basically just saying "🥺🥺 uwu pwease i'm so cute and innocent don't kill me aha 👉👈". Which is a lot less of a compelling reason for hiccup to free him!! Plus the fact that toothless turns up to look at him instead of lying and accepting his fate like in the original, which only makes it seem even more like he's trying to show off how apparently adorable he is.

Idk. Just the difference between the in-your-face sanitised cuteness of "teehe you wouldn't kill little old me would you? 🥺" and the expert subtlety of his "please don't hurt me" of the original doesn't give me high hopes for a toothless that stays true to his character from the first movie. Even from something as small as this. He's gonna get woobified. I can feel it.

Don't worry if your life is in chaos, you are like the universe itself and its law of entropy. もの久保 on Pivix

Physical Affection - Otp Prompts

A hand running through hair.

One wrapping their arms around the other’s waist while they’re busy.

Letting them lay their head in your lap, while you play with their hair.

Doing eachother’s makeup together.

One doodling on the other’s hand.

One wiping a crumb from the other’s lips.

One tracing patterns on the other’s stomach with their fingers.

Playfully wrestling.

Them dancing together, holding eachother close without letting go.

Holding eachother while laying together, feeling the other’s arms wrapped around you while you fall asleep.

Slight NSFW(??) Prompts under cut

One trying to make a mark on the other’s neck with their mouth.

One rubbing the other’s thigh.

One tracing their tongue along the other’s delicate areas.

Kisses below the belt.

One pinning the other down by the hips against their mattress to keep them from squirming while they give all the affection they want to the other.

Is it just me, or is anyone else scared that people will start to forget about Tales of Arcadia and/or How to train your Dragon. Coz im terrified of that happening. These things are my life and if people start to forget about them, or stop posting about them I would probably cry my ass off.

THE BOOK OF LIFE (2014) | MAYA AND THE THREE (2021)

Zoe Saldaña as the SUN + Diego Luna as the MOON

Sometimes love is so powerful-

-it can transcend lifetimes.🖤💚🦇🦅💛🧡

It’s confirmed by the writers on Twitter. Their souls are unbound as the sun and moon many years later and they are reborn, reincarnated as new people. They may not be the same as they once were, but they still retained their love for each other, much of their appearances, and especially their voices. How else do you think La Muerte had so much faith in him? The Book of Life 2 will be coming soon.

Also anyone who thinks Maya and Maria don’t look that much alike. For one they don’t have to be 100% identical they still each look very much alike, and two to be fair they’re full grown in TBOL Maya and Zats were like 15, and three the story of Maya and the Three isn’t told with wooden figures.
