I have question, do you have a least favorite frog?

Yeah, Pepe.

Some dragon lore that might be considered more headcanon that I made up for my fic that I’m just gonna share with the rest of the HTTYD fandom, because I’m fully aware many may not read my fic as it’s a crossover with a teeny tiny show relatively no one’s heard of

- Gronckle’s, Catastrophic Quakens, and Eruptodon’s are related species that evolved in different ways (other related species chains will involve Night Fury-Light Fury-Woolly Howl-Sand Wraith, Hideous Zippleback- Venus Snapptrapper, Boneknapper-Armorwing-Sword Stealer and maybe Timberjack-Typhoomerang)

- Monstrous Nightmare’s are surprisingly strong swimmers and fond of the water, considering they’re a staple Stoker Class dragon with their ability to set themselves on fire

- Deadly Nadder’s have horrible depth perception and used to be a smaller and typically prey-dragon for the cannibal species, which is why they evolved both their spiny tails and such a heightened sense of smell. Lack of depth perception that helps you pinpoint where something is doesn’t mean much when you can either sniff it out or shoot spines in almost every direction as a defense mechanism

- Hideous Zippleback’s are the most well-adapted to life on the ground, especially in wooded areas, amongst the other more common dragon species, and are also the fastest runners. They’re almost better runners than they are fliers. They’re also incredibly good ambush predators, with perfect camouflage in forest environments and impressive stealth, and in areas where there are little other dragons, especially a dragon larger than them, are usually the top of their food chains, which is why they’re one of the bigger of the common breeds (Ala Nightmare’s, Gronckles, and Nadders)

- Speed Stingers fight each other in a similar manner to jousting, but on a much faster and dangerous level, with a bit of the game Chicken thrown in as well

- Deadly Nadder’s are actually a Dual Class dragon, fitting perfectly enough in both the Sharp and Tracker Class that they were categorized into both

- Bewilderbeast’s and the Red Death’s species are both sexually dimorphic, but more in regard to size. Male Bewilderbeast’s are the ones that get so large, hence the name ‘King of Dragons’. The same applies in reverse to the Red Death’s species, with the females the ones that grow to the giant sizes, earning them a similar name ‘Queen of Dragons’. This is also why there are so few of these giant dragons around; there’s a very short window in which they can mate with the opposite sex, before it becomes too dangerous or risky for the smaller partner. Few naturally born males or females of the respective species ever hatch, so they evolved to have long lifespans as a whole, and the smaller sex of each species also evolved the same trick the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park and the frogs they were made with developed; instant transgenderism

- Singetails evolved their complex fire-breathing system as a defense mechanism against the Skrills that were hunting them, and Skrills evolved their long-ranged electrical attacks in retaliation

- The type of lava blast a Gronckle shoots can vary depending on what kind of rocks they ate to prepare for the blast, or what kind of rock diet they usually eat

- Light Furies are glittery because they can often be found near warmer but still polar regions, where the sparkling helps them blend in with the snow. Light Furies also get chunky with blubber the colder the area they live in gets; they adapted to adjust their body weight depending on how much heat they needed to retain due to their surroundings

- Woolly Howls and Snow Wraiths often fight with one another as they live in the same environments and clash over territory

- Monstrous Nightmare’s aren’t necessarily a species that mates for life, but they are one of the species that will keep going back to a certain partner if they liked them, and sometimes refuse other suitors in favor of a repeated partner they’re fond of. They also raise their hatchlings well into young adulthood, unlike some species who wait until the babies can fend for themselves. Some Monstrous Nightmare chicks will even seek out their parents and siblings well into adulthood to check up on them and catch up, or even stay with them

- Night Furies and their related species are like whale pods, who teach lessons and skills through generations and live in family units. Many of a Night Fury’s hidden skills have to be taught by another dragon of the same species, unlike other species who instinctually learn them as they grow. They also age at relatively the same pace as humans, mentally and physically

- Some Gronckles can actually develop allergies to certain rocks and minerals, and have preferences for what rocks they’ll eat in the same way other dragons will prefer a certain kind of fish or game over something else. Gemstones and jewels are kind of like candy to Gronckles

- All the ‘cannibal’ species (Deathsong, Skrill, Deathgripper, etc.) don’t rely on just dragons for their diet, as dragons are some of the hardest prey to catch. Even Cavern Crashers don’t rely on just dragon eggs for their food; they’ll eat any small animal they can get their teeth on, and if they’re lucky, nests of other egg laying animals

- Skrills will also hunt Flightmare’s if presented with the opportunity, as well as some of the smaller ‘Terror’ dragons species (Night Terrors and Terrible Terrors), but they’re also really fond of sheep. They don’t eat fish like most other dragon species unless they find it dead somewhere else, or steal it from another dragon, and that’s if the Skrill even has a taste for fish. This is due to the fact that water is their biggest weakness, and fishing means getting wet and making themselves very vulnerable, which means most don’t even develop a taste or liking for seafood

Delayed going to sleep for another 15 minutes to laugh at Christian gritting his teeth and forcing out how happy he is for Adrian Newey and how he will "miss the camaraderie" and how "Adrian deserves a break" and eating that BS pie until Jenson finally asked him about Checo's performance today and Christian's smile finally looked less like rigor mortis

@jjaysontodd

Yeah, asks typically stay off because I've been on this hell site for ten years (made my first account back in 2013) and I've been subjected to some SHIT!!

Could be convinced to turn them on, though~

Anyway, the name of the game when it comes to Jason Todd is gaslight gatekeep girlboss, because there is no way in hell some of these bitches rly think he's as bad as they say he is. Especially when you compare his shenanigans to the shenanigans of characters like Bruce or even Tim.

Yes, he kills people. Yes, he can be pretty uncaring about the collateral of his plqns.

But guess what?!

SO IS EVERYONE ELSE!!

The only difference is that we, as Jason Todd enjoyers, know what we're here for.

As for the Helena stans and their beef with Jason, idk what to tell ya, mate. Well, other than it's madness, of course!!

There's definitely a convo to be had about male characters getting more space to be complex than female characters, but that's not what's going here. What's going on here is a treasure trove of fandom feminists have decided that Jason has far too many ~feminine~ traits and that he doesn't deserve to have the support he has within the fandom. Why they’ve come to this conclusion is so inane and idiotic, I refuse to dignify it with a response, but it’s that type of shit why I rly want us to go back to the days of decentralized fandom spaces. Spaces where mods actually had the power to cull and reject nonsense, before it started to spread like a virus. It wasn’t perfect (it bred an air of smug exclusivity that stank of unwashed ass), but it’s better than having to deal with assholes spreading liberal nonsense like”Jason Todd is a cop cause he kills and uses guns”.

As if cops are only dangerous because of the extra judicial killings and the apparatus most associated with them 😒😒😒

Anyway, I would bet money that most of those so called Helena stans don't even care about her like that as a character; they just hate Jason.

Which kinda sucks, cause I find Hintress - like all the Gotham vigilantes - to be fascinating characters. But my want to actually pursue any new info on her has been dead on arrival, because her stans are fucking assholes.

Bottom line, Jason’s story resonates with a lot of people. If you don’t get it or can’t bring yourself to understand, then like… Don’t. You don’t have to. The world would be so much better off if people learned that sometimes… the media you consume is just as personal as it what it says about you publicly.

You know what I always considered a really weird detail about the Pure Vessel's cut Dream Nail Dialog?

"Do not think, do not speak, do not hope, do not..."

"Do not speak"

Why? Why 'speak'? Why that word, specifically?

"Because it references back to the "No mind to think no will to break, no voice to cry suffering" thing, duh.

Well, yes.

But the other two parts of PV's DN dialog directly contradicts two of the requirements the King gave for a "Pure Vessel" -

Hollow CAN think; the dialog itself is proof of that.

And Hollow, by the very fact that they need to tell themselves NOT to hope, suggested that they did have some sort of hope they were attempting not to experience. To hope is to have a will for something, a desire, a wish. A will that the Radiance HAD broken to infect them.

So that just leaves us with "Do not Speak" and "No Voice to Cry Suffering"...

And if Hollow has a mind and a will...

Do they also possess a voice as well?

Why else would the word "Speak" be used as the direct contradiction for "No Voice"? Why else would the Pure Vessel need to remind themselves to not speak?

It makes me wonder if the King was wrong about even that aspect of the Vessel(s).

And the other thing that I find interesting: What is the Pure Vessel refraining themselves from saying? What do they want to say that they aren't allowing themselves to?

Just some food for thought

Horsemen Reptile/Amphibian/Arachnid Pet Owners:

This is just me wanting to have a bit of fun speculation for funsies as a reptile owner myself and someone who grew up around these animals as long as I've been alive. So what would each Horseman get as a pet or pets if they were to get into the reptile/amphibian/arachnid hobby.

You hadn't been to a reptile show since the apocalypse happened. In truth many of the species you loved as a kid were struggling to stay around past potential extinction. Others however actually managed to thrive despite everything happening. So when you heard that your fellow humans were hosting a show once again, things finally began to feel somewhat like normal again. It was also high time for your scaly puppy to have food again as you'd run out of your bulk.

Since you have nothing better to do than that, you decide to make the most of this. Especially given how long it's been, and you finally have friends to share your hobby with. Finally some folks who don't think reptiles and such are gross or inheritly evil. Death takes some convincing, given his homebody nature when not working. But eventually decides to join along, if only to make sure you stick to your shopping list and don't buy anything out of budget or anything living. Just the one 'danger noodle' as you keep calling your royal python is enough he feels(Yes he does call ball pythons by the original name and even knows why they're called royal pythons.). Strife needed no convincing at all and was happy to come and see what these mythical 'reptile shows' were. That and he's an animal lover so he's as excited as little kids are to see them all. Fury only came so you'd stop asking, supposedly. Deep down though, she's curious about the animals that have captured your heart so. She initially plans to ask questions about any that peak her interest or yours. War is convinced well enough after your explain just how big some of these python species can get. Course he's not believing you because, "I've seen much bigger snakes than a simple reticulated or indian python.". So he's coming just so he can prove you wrong.

So what does everyone buy?

Y/N - Well thanks to Death’s mostly hypervigilant self, you avoid buying any new critters. Just frozen rats to feed your scaly puppy at home. That doesn't stop you from taking photos of War posing with pythons and boas, and Strife holding everything he comes across if he's allowed to. Fury and Death were hard to nail in any photos. But eventually you do get one of each quietly. One has Fury interacting with a baby hognose that played dead in her hand as she called it a drama queen. The other has Death handling a tarantula, something you're admittedly still afraid to do. It was a beautiful sapphire gooty female that was somehow there. You immediately fled the scene right after the picture, not because Death caught you, but because the spider decided to showcase the speed demon side all indian ornamental species are known for. Getting a good chuckle out of the old Horseman who luckily was definitely fast enough to keep the little lady from 'chasing you'.

Death - He decides on buying the sapphire gooty, as their extreme rarity gave him a sort of kinship kind of feeling towards her. That and the unintentional jumpscare she gave you might've given him some ideas. He gets at least two other species as well. A goliath bird eater because he enjoys her spunk seeing as she actually stridulated at him when he picked up her container. The final tarantula he takes is a gorgeous antilles pinktoe. The colors were just way too eye-catching to him, and her temperament was a plus too. The last animal he grabs isn't even an arachnid though, as he actually finds someone selling venomous animals and is attracted to a black female king cobra. You at first ask if he's crazy, then notice she's blind. Upon asking, Death and you are told she's a rescue and was devenomed. Naturally you explain the term to Death, who is horrified at knowing. He can't forget about her and ultimately buys her. Promising he'll give her a much happier life. Good thing humans these days will take gilt as well as cash. Cus he definitely has that in surplus. Naturally he buys enclosures/food for his new critters and the ones his siblings inevitably buy. He of course also names his little ladies. The GS is named Princess(yes he is serious about the name), the goliath is named Ungoliant, and the pinktoe is dubbed Tanzanite. Meanwhile he calls the cobra Queenie.

Strife - Strife avoids the tarantulas like the plague, and other arachnids to his older brother's amusement. He explains Death and War have pranked him with these animals before. Though Death insists he never used anything living to do it. Didn't want them to be needlessly hurt in the panic after all. Strife does however fall in absolute love with ball pythons and geckos. He ultimately leaves the show with a crested gecko, leechie gecko(which to Death’s shock and annoyance cost near a grand in human US currency), & a banana mimosa ball python. The crestie he calls Nutter Butter(Nutter or Nut for short), the leechie he names Chonker, and the BM ball python he names Glowstick because she looks like a rave glowstick to him with all her bright colors.

Fury - Fury takes interest in an axolotl surprisingly, claiming she finds the empty headed creature to be amusing. In reality it's derpiness is more endearing than funny. She also takes the baby hognose from before, as well as a sand boa for the same reasons as the axolotl. Her naming conventions are not terribly creative but at least carry a common theme, she names the hognose Death after her brother until he begs her to change it to Stinky(She thought referencing Death’s avg stink to the stinks hognoses make while playing dead was hilarious for the record.). The sand boa she simply calls Sandy, and soon takes the name very seriously. The last name she picks for the axolotl is Doofus(a secret reference towards Strife that he somehow misses). She never admits it around others, but she adores her little critters.

War - War is a simple man with simple enjoyments admittedly. He takes interest in the bigger animals. He decides on buying a baby anaconda with the intent to grow it into the biggest one the world has ever seen. He also snags a tegu, since they seem hardy and fun. Plus he did like how the one he got is very dog-like for a monitor lizard. He also gets a leechie like Strife does after the latter convinces him to get one for breeding purposes so they make more like Chonker. War names his critters thusly; Amazon for the anaconda, Dog for the tegu(because he acts like a dog and he couldn’t think of anything else), and his leechie gets called Chonkette after Strife suggested it when War couldn’t think of anything. At first he regretted it, now he finds it suits his 'Big Girl' well. Amazon also gets the nickname of 'Big Mama' after the group discovers eggs in her cage about a month later.

The house has gotten so much fuller, but everyone is happy and caring for their respective pets properly. Including you obviously, who War also promised could have first dibs on Amazon and Chonkette's future babies.

Imo, this is THE BEST I’ve seen Scratch in chairman mode. I love those long, cryptic fingers, his big, long and gaping mouth, and that tongue that looks like a vine. 🧡🧡🧡

Each time he goes in that scary mode he just looks better and better! ❤️

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over LolK's stage 6 theme ("The Sea where One's Home Planet Reflects") and Junko's theme (Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart").

They're just. so beautiful. I love them.

And the leitmotif of "The Sea where One's Home Planet Reflects" in Junko's theme... ough. Ouuuuuuugh.

Mah heart... broken... mah tear ducts... dry....
