There is so much I love and agree with here. Your takes on reciprocity especially , and how the symbolism just works so much better, the story threads would feel more tied in. The story still seems built around this original, omitted idea.

In the story we got. Hiccup keeps slipping on his prosthetic which symbolizes that he needs Toothless.

But if the mummified leg wasn’t “cut” from the story, it would also motivate Toothless to bring him back the old leg that worked. Thus one idea would serve multiple functions, adding cohesion.

If I could add. The scene where Hiccup gives Toothless the new tailfin. To me Toothless’s reaction read as a bit conveniently overdramatic?

Toothless figures out what the tail and looks at Hiccup, eyes narrowing. Hiccup takes a step forward and Toothless flinches away before booking it.

Booking it to apparently, find Hiccup’s helmet. Which, you know, is very important, it was made from his mother’s breastplate and all - but to leave so suddenly your friend thinks you might be running away from him? It’s a lot.

I’ve heard the interpretation that maybe at first Toothless really was feeling the “call of the wild” the other dragons did. He just, couldn’t find another night fury so found Hiccup’s helmet instead. I don’t like this interpretation. But it seemed a little more in line with how the scene played out.

But if instead, you could read it like Toothless realizes what Hiccup has given him, that Hiccup has ‘fixed’ him, and is so overwhelmed (and mayhaps guilty), that he needs to, immediately, instinctively, fix him right back. Right the wrong of ‘failing’ to save his leg.

Well I can just see it a lot better. It would feel more in line with Toothless.

THE SHIT (GOLD) YOU FIND IN THE OCEAN (YOUTUBE COMMENT’S SECTION)

#that being said #I think there is a benefit to the helmet #besides it being less gross #sure there is less symbolism #and less cohesion #and importantly #there is less context for Toothless’s decision #to reject the new tail fin #which you can argue makes the gesture more powerful #because if Toothless brought back the leg #And Hiccup would have to say thanks bud no really thanks bud but I can’t actually #Then rejecting the fin could be considered a compromise #making up for failing to fix hiccup #by refusing to be fixed #thus not reflective of what toothless actually wants #but his guilt #while in the story we got #there is no such excuse #this is just what toothless wanted #what he would have always chosen regardless of the story’s events #he goes solo flying once comes back and says #the sky was lonely #and you were the tail I wanted #not that this wouldn’t have been present in the mummified leg timeline #but it would have been clouded

yuzuru hanyu: echoes of life // saitama, 2024.12.07

#yuzuru hanyu #hanyu yuzuru #fskateedit #figure skating #echoes of life #program #haven't stopped thinking about this since i watched it #i think it might be my favorite of his shows #there's less skating in a conventional sense but a more cohesive story #his shows are really hard to gif because you have to watch the whole thing to get the intended experience #love to see all the creative things my retired faves are doing lately #(just saw that papadakis/hubbell are doing art on ice and i'm so excited)

#ooc #seam #deltarune #web weaving #< do the cool kids still call it that?#anyways thinking abt seam. this is sort of a thesis statement on what i think seam's all about #their awareness of higher existence is far more literal than flowey whose view of the world is far more metaphorical #and is flowey's justification for the time-loop fatigue he experiences rather than a literal cosmic horror moment like seam and co. had #BUT. it's still a parallel being drawn for a reason. you get me #i hope this is good it is less of a cohesive thing and more just. brain goop. sketching in screencap form.

i’ve been trying to teach myself how to draw and your art has been a huge inspiration for me, do you have any tips on how to do line art like you do?

to be quite honest i try to avoid doing proper lineart whenever possible! it used to be a prominent feature of my art but I realized i just kinda felt miserable doing it. any lines you see are either painted on top, the sketch, or im doing something heavily stylized so I'll just show my process & share some general tips!

I try to stay as loose as possible and let myself leave in some mistakes as if I were inking with a real pen and paper. Another thing I recommend is playing around with whatever brushes and seeing what sticks! I prefer a much more textured gritty line over something super smooth but that isnt for everyone so playing around with different options is ideal

Also will leave some external resources under the cut!

FRAMED INK: book about comic/storyboarding composition but still has some bits in there about how different inking techniques can change the mood of a scene.

GUIDE TO SPOTTING TANGENTS: Self explanatory. Tangents can be a real pain when it comes to lineart so its best to learn What they are and How to spot them

SPOTTING BLACK AREAS: going more in depth with laying down your black areas

#art help #if theres something more specific you'd like lemme know! i just went over bits that are specifically style oriented #and less so of the basics cuz there are a lot of guides out there for lineart that are way more cohesive than I could make
