I actually fucking hate how the live action trailer depicted Toothless waking up after being shot down. The OG was framed so wonderfully, seeing his eye obscured by his wing only to reveal these slitted pupils staring at Hiccup, watching him. In this new version he just... wakes up ig. Tell me which one of these looks more like "the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself"

I am taking this as an opportunity to showcase my creative vision:

Four series, each one has nine episodes with three 30-45 minute episodes dedicated to each book. This ensures there is enough time for the content of each book to be fully executed and explored and really effectively groups together the Twelve different books thematically.

-Series One (book one, two, and three): Light and silly. Introduces our main trio within the first season in addition to establishing Alvin as a true threat. Familiarises us with Berk and its inhabitants.

-Series two (book four, five and six): Still silly but a tiny bit darker tonality wise. Keeps Alvin present without him being at the forefront of our minds. Vital plot points are beginning to be introduced such as Hiccups one and two and lost things.

-Series three (book seven, eight, and nine): Tonal shift into something darker. Large dragons are introduced and Alvin becomes a real threat in our minds. Furious is introduced along with the witch upping the danger level. This season starts and ends with the slave mark.

-Series four (book ten, eleven, and twelve): Much dark tone as fits with the books. Hiccups family in slavery, the dragon war. By this time the young original viewers of series one should likely be old enough to understand the themes and ideas of the final season because they have grown with Hiccup. Final epilogue to be a extra ten minute or so episode at the end.

The first three episodes of each season are released all at once. After that they are released one by one.

In addition to this the animation (whilst being coloured) should increase in “intensity” as the show progresses. Going from Cowells original sketchy endearing style to the far more cinematic and spectacular style from the final books.

The voice acting cast for Hiccup, Fishlegs and Camicazi should be young unknowns. They need to feel young and excited in the first series, not like thirty-something jaded longtime mega star of voice acting (not that they can’t be involved elsewhere). Having them have a variety of British/Irish accents is also a possibility, eg. Irish Camicazi, more received pronunciation style for Hiccup, Northern Lancashire/manx accent for fishlegs, The vikings of Berk with thick Scottish accents.

I will take suggestions on the older voice cast with one exception: The Dragon Furious needs be voiced by David Tenant.

Please please add any more ideas to this I am bubbling at the seams full of inspo and need other people’s input lmao.

gay people can never say "I love you." It's always some weird shit like "I shall miss you havers."

"use chatgpt" that's the devil talking. buy four caffeinated drinks and pull an all nighter. this is the way.

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
