you all expect me to take you seriously….talking about “soulmates aren’t just a romantic concept!!!! more platonic soulmates. uwu.”…..and yet REFUSING to stan how to train your dragon (2010)….i cannot fucking imagine

no no i’m not done. toothless loses his left right tail flap while fighting a human….hiccup loses his left foot while fighting a dragon. hiccup has a scar on his chin from a dragon….toothless has a scar on his neck from a human. they are both isolated from their kin for different reasons and in the fall out from their individual conflict and pain find one another………their separate species are natural enemies, yet fate brings them together as outsiders in order to live out the friendship of a lifetime and you all SNUB THIS? THE POETICISM OF IT ALL. you ingrates are like “haha bee movie company” so you cannot SEE the GIFT of TENDERNESS that you’ve been GIVEN? good fucking night count your blessings

The sequels are very shiny but I miss the old Hiccup and Toothless

With love comes loss. It’s part of the deal. Sometimes it hurts, but in the end, it’s all worth it. There’s no greater gift than love.

experiencing ‘forbidden friendship’ for the first time in the movie theatre in 2010

me, lonely and struggling with the conflicting craving for approval from my peers and parents and desire to be invisible and unknowable as i enter my teenage years, sitting in the movie theatre waiting for the ads to stop rolling so i can watch how to train your dragon back in 2010, blissfully unaware of how it’s about to change my entire life:

i don’t know anything about musical composition but i do know that “sticks and stones” by jonsi was the best song choice for how to train your dragon because it sounds like how i imagine riding a dragon for the first time would feel

like i said i have no idea how music works but in the SECOND false ending of the song (you know a song is good when it has not only one but TWO false endings) when the chorus repition ends and the only thing there is is snare drums that emulate heart beats and then a trailing hiss of a cymbal and then and THEN they start playing the melody on the piano at a slower, creeping tempo before ultimately crashing us back into the chorus……..like you can practically feel the wind whip through your hair and the cold cut your cheeks and the dragon you’re riding dip and scoop and soar and it’s like……..how to train your dragon > citizen kane

i owe the how to train your dragon films so much for translating flying on dragonback into a physical emotion you can feel every time you listen to the score
