Commentary on RTTE S1 Ep 13 Total Nightmare

This is one of my favorite episodes in the show and I don’t see enough people talking about it.

Ruff: And so the drama begins...

Tuff: One man, one dragon, one leg, vs one rapidly closing dome.

Guys, I love the twins so much. They have a new hyperfixation every other day and it’s amazing. Also, Tuff, you ain’t gotta do my boy Hiccup like that 😭

Tuff: 'Twas once a drill, then it became a game, now it is theater!

Ruff: Let the drama unfold!

Ruff’s little pose here. I love her so so so much

Tuff: I'll wager he loses an eye.

Ruff: Haha! On the contrary, i predict act one, scene one will conclude with the loss of a gallbladder.

Tuff: Or perhaps a leg, what say you, young Hiccup?

Again with the leg jokes. Me personally, I wouldn’t take that level of disrespect.

The whole scene with Snotlout racing is just him getting hit with branches. How is my man not concussed, bro got a skull made of gronckle iron 💀 Also, he 100% could’ve made that if he didn’t spend 5 seconds shouting at Hookfang

Hookfang refusing the fish and then throwing not only the fish but Snotlout as well 😭

Snotlout: Ow, hey, everybody saw that right?

Tuff: Yes we did, my friend and it was delightful.

Tuff… 😭

Snotlout: No I mean Hookfang, he's acting weird.

Fishlegs: How's that?

Snotlout: Well, he didn't listen to me during the race, he ran away, he just spit fish in my face, and threw me against the wall!

The wall in question:

Also Fishlegs, why are you smiling

Hookfang slamming his head against the roof multiple times, I’m not entirely sure what the plan was there. Like, I feel like that was probably the least productive thing he could’ve done.

Snotlout’s face here. This is probably how the other riders see him

Hookfang was put in time out. Free my man, he ain’t do nothing wrong 🗣️

Snotlout: Hey! Hookfang, you feeling better? Who wants tuna for breakfast?

That is NOT a tuna, also why is it so big???

Snotlout: Great. I accept your offer to help in the search. Come on, Toothless. Up, bud! Fly, bud! Do something, bud!

Hiccup really does call Toothless bud a lot. It means a lot to me that the other riders notice this as well.

Toothless is so done with Snotlout

Snotlout: This place again? This is where I found him last time.

Why wasn’t that the first place he checked???

Astrid: Look! There is another Monstrous Nightmare!

Hiccup: That's not just another Monstrous Nightmare. That's a female Monstrous Nightmare.

You can tell because she is pink and pink is a girl color

Snotlout: A female Monstrous Nightmare? Now it all makes sense. My dragon has a way with the ladies! Must have picked up a few pointers from his master.

Astrid: I doubt it. She's not dry heaving.

L rizz from Snotlout

Snotlout try not to get injured challenge: impossible

Fishlegs: it means that meeting this female has reawakened his primal instincts. And he’s returning to the wild.

Fishlegs successfully predicting the third movie.

Fishlegs: It's nature, Snotlout. You can't fight it.

Snotlout: Watch me.

Ate that line up

Hiccup: It's a scary idea, huh? That one of our dragons might just one day go back to the wild? You'd never do that to me, would you bud? I didn't think so.

Uh…

Snotlout: Primal instincts, Thor's butt! My primal instinct is to get my dragon back.

Another banger line

Snotlout: Hi, Girl Hookfang! I see, you already got my boy bringing dinner for you. Big step.

He’s jealous

He got hit in the face with an eel. Real talk, I wanna know how this man is still alive. This is gonna be a long rant analyzing the effect of an injury in a kids tv show, skip ahead if you don’t want to read this part.

There are 3 different things that determine the severity of the shock and the resulting injury; the amount of voltage, the duration of the shock, and path of the shock through the body. Unfortunately, Snotlout did not have a single thing going well for him and managed to have the worst luck in all 3 areas. Electricity is extremely dangerous. 120 volts going through the human body for only 2 seconds is enough to cause death. Electric eels can produce charges on average from 450-600 volts of electricity. Some have been recorded to produce up to 860 volts. For comparison, outlets only use 120 volts. The duration of the shock effects how severe the injury is. Unsurprisingly, the longer the shock, the greater the injury. Snotlout was electrocuted for about 3-5 seconds which is a pretty long time, especially since a single shock from an eel is enough to cause significant pain or immobilize their prey. An important thing to note is that the eel is on land. Without water to disperse some of the shock, it would be stronger and more direct. He was hit in the face, and the eel landed on his chest, where it continuously shocked him for 3-5 seconds. Currents through the heart or nervous system are most dangerous. A shock to the head will cause your nervous system to be damaged. A shock to the chest is incredibly dangerous as it gives direct access to the body’s most vital organs. He managed to get shocked in the two worst places to get shocked.

Long story short, I have no idea how this mf is alive.

Snotlout: I have had enough of you, Hookfang! It's time to choose, her or me.

Genuinely sobbing

Tuff: Classic romantic comedy paradigm. Boy gets dragon, boy loses dragon, dragon falls asleep, boy eats, boy falls asleep, dragon eats.

What is he going on about???

Snotlout: I give up. If being with her makes Hookfang happy, I guess I should be happy for him, too. Ugh. If you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go lay down for a few... weeks.

🥺

Hiccup: We've gotta get him back in the saddle right away.

Hiccup, not everyone solves their problems by working

Snotlout: Too small, too slow, two heads.

This is genuinely one of my favorite jokes in the entire series.

Hiccup: What are you saying?

Snotlout: I'm saying that if I can't fly Hookfang, I don't want to fly any dragon.

Astrid: How can you be a dragon rider and not ride a dragon?

Snotlout: You were always the smart one, Astrid.

🥺

Snotlout: Quitting, that's right. ✨I shall be a dragon rider no more✨

Why did he say it like that-

Tuff: Time to call in the understudy.

Ruff: Hey Fishlegs, how's your Snotlout?

immediately looking for a replacement 💀

Hiccup: Oh, come on Snotlout, you're just hurting now, that's all. Give it some time.

Snotlout: No, Hiccup, my mind is made up. I'm going to say goodbye to Hookfang, and then sail back to Berk for good. It's over.

genuinely heartbreaking

Astrid: You wanna tell us what's going on here?

Fishlegs: It looks like two male dragons fighting over a female.

Ruff: Yeah, I've heard male Vikings do it too, but I've personally never seen it.

Give it a few years, Ruff

Hiccup: Get him, Snotlout! You guys can do this.

Astrid: Hey, be careful. He's pretty nasty.

Snotlout: Whatever happens to us, promise me you'll protect those eggs.

Hiccup: We will.

🥺

Astrid: He's crazy.

Hiccup: He's Snotlout.

Astrid: True.

Couldn’t have put it better myself

The evil smirk. Bro got a diabolical scheme

Snotlout: And to think I saved them. Okay, okay! We saved them. We saved them. Snotlout, Hookfang! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Love that he’s chanting both of their names.

Hiccup: Uh, what's wrong with you two?

Ruff: Nothing.

Tuff: You just don't see enough happy endings these days. Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!

The twins are so dramatic, I love them so much

Okay that’s it 💕

My digital circus hyperfixation has been restarted with 50000000 volts and everyone else must suffer

[99aceace]

I'm being delulu while I still can.

Tech as CX-2 having an identity crisis. He deserves an identity crisis of his own, Emerie got one.

That little comic is inspired by song "volte face" by Riverside.

While hyperfixated with both bad batch and Riverside I have to make art that contains both.

[morning-st48]

another WIP look I should be more productive and sorting out new ych's and commissions again, however dat hyperfix is causin' me to waste me time instead. (due to comitments I had to stop my job and do other stuff for a while but im free again now) also whilest working on this ive discovered Amir's arms and thighs a buffer/thic-er than defult volts. heh.

Sun on the Horizons AU

So my brain has been cooking up a dark Pokémon Horizons AU (because every media I hyperfixate on has to have a Dark AU or three). In short summary, it’s an AU where Liko and Roy were a part of the Explorers when they were younger, and considering the implications we have seen, yeah it’s going to be quite dark.

More information will be down below (trigger warning for character deaths and implied child abuse)

The Explorers tried to go to the town elder when one of their agents heard wind of him having a specific Pokéball that may belong to one of the Six Heroes. Hamber and Spinel go to retrieve it, but it doesn’t end well with Rayquaza escaping and setting the town on fire and unintentionally killing some of the villagers, including the Elder (Roy’s grandfather)

Roy is taken afterwards when they see his emotional reaction and decide to use him to become an agent to help hunt down Rayquaza

A while later, Liko and her parents were on a family vacation when they are attacked by a bunch of Pokémon which ends with her parents dead and Liko barely escaping, who is then found by Hamber who takes her in

Amethio is tasked to look after both Liko and Roy while they are trained under the Explorers’

Meanwhile, Friede was tasked by Diana, Liko’s grandmother, to find Liko when she learned that her body was never found

At some point in the future (present day), Liko and Roy go on the run and will encounter and taken in by the Rising Volt Tacklers

[cryoverkiltmilk]

So... Mollie exists. A renegade Nurse Joy with punk fashion who decided she didn't want to just wait around for injured Pokemon to be brought to her and set out on a journey as a field vet/medic member of the Rising Volt Tacklers/Rising Volteccers

Me, falling into a hyperfixation spiral for her:

hehe

GODDDD I NEED TO FINISH THIS WIP SJFKFK i was so close and then the 911 hyperfixation gripped me by the throat and refused to let go

THISSS!! is a yj crossover with the cw flash actually!! S1 eobard wells is just. Such a cool villain. He's one of my fav villains. I love his energy sooo much. He's so intimidating and GRGRGGRHR so anywaysssss i just wanted to make yj!wally have to deal w him:)) and i also ended up adding halbarry bc fuckkk that one fic has changed my life forever and i love them I NEED MORE OF THE HALBARRY BEING WALLY'S GAY DADS DYNAMIC I NEED ITTTT coughs

Anywaysss

Uhm. Tw needle:) and non graphic torture!

"Hello Wally,” the man speaks, and his voice is soft, calm. It makes Wally shudder. “It appears I may have overestimated this universe's Flash.” Okay Wally, think. Say something witty, or or cool. “Oh yeah? And who the fuck are you?” Wally cringes as the words leave his mouth. Man, he really needs to get better at this. He can hear Robin’s mocking laughter at him. The man gives a half chuckle, tilting his head as though he were… studying him. “That's none of your concern. What is your concern however, is this.” From his pocket, he takes out a sci-fi looking device: it has three needled prongs and a light that flashes a vibrant blue in the centre of it. Wally gulps, suddenly feeling very sick. The man takes a step into the room and Wally flinches, trying harder than before to get a way out of his bonds. “Look man, we can talk this out, you know? Do you want money? I mean, I don't have a lot of money but I'm sure we can make it work. When has stabbing people with random needles ever answered life's problems? Never that is. Words however, do! Hahahaha, words are so cool honestly, I may have gotten a D on my last essay but that was because the prof totally hated me. If she hadn't, I would've gotten a B plus at least. Come on man, words! Talk with me! You seem super smart. Do you have a PhD? You should tell me about it— No, no no nononono—” The man ignores his incessant rambling and walks behind him, gripping his hair harshly and tugging his head upwards, a stark contrast from the quietness of his speaking earlier. “Barry!” The man suddenly growls and Wally flinches at the loudness of it. “If you want your son alive—” Son? Wally doesn't have enough time to process how that word makes him feel. “—you’ll come find me within the hour. And just so you feel the urgency of this…” The needles get jabbed into Wally's neck, and he cries out, a thousand volts of electricity getting shot directly into him. The pain is blinding like nothing he's ever experienced before and he can feel a mix of blood and snot running down his nose, as well as the wetness of tears on his cheeks. The room spins around him, his entire body tingling in a way that's mocking to how he feels when he taps into the speedforce, nerves feeling on fire. It's hard to focus on anything, but eventually the sharp pain subsides, leaving his body sore but at least more bearable than before. The lights are off again and the man from before is gone, Wally not quite sure when that happened. He sniffles and even that small movement is enough to cause him to wince. Uncle Barry… please come soon.

[rising-volteccers]

The continuation of my personal thoughts about episode 18 of Horizons because I will not be denied putting in many images. Also if you're actually reading both posts you're a real one. Thank you for listening the ramblings of someone knee deep in hyperfixation mode.

Part one of the post is [here]

This bit gives us a little insight on how Friede initially viewed Cap. Through the goggles of a Pokemon Professor, he found Cap interesting as a research subject seeing that he is a Pikachu that's acting outside the typical behavior and actions known to the species. While I'm sure he genuinely does want to learn, the way he introduces himself (really now, do you think a Pikachu is going to care that you're a genius Pokemon Professor?) still shows that he's yet to expand from the viewpoint that he knows of.

Here, we see that Friede can be quite persistent. Once he's got his eyes on something, it's like he has to figure out everything that he can seemingly in a one track mind sort of way. Did he have to chase Pikachu around in a circle? No. Did he still do it till he fell out of exhaustion? Yes. It looks to me like someone who's super fixated on something to the point that he sort of forgets his limit until he crashes into it.

I love this scene because Friede's still clearly interested in what makes this Pikachu different but he also obviously care for him too. Earlier in the episode, Murdock mentioned how Cap isn't picky with his food so to see that echoed here is a nice touch!

Once again we see how persistent Friede can be with his research. Who knows how many days he's been visiting Cap around dawn to the point that he's able to take body tackles and headbutts (also love how Charizard was cheering him on!). Of course being human, he's unable to do anything about electrical shocks but does that deter him from his research?

Later we'll learn that Friede's been pretty thorough in gathering data about Cap. It's pretty refreshing to see the actual fieldwork that goes on in a Professor's research! He took videos, analyze how Cap's been flying and the like. Friede certainly earned his qualifications but he's missing an important aspect in his research, as we'll see later.

Finally Friede's acknowledging that he might know a lot of things about Pokemon theoretically and informational wise but it was vain of him to believe that he knew everything about these mysterious, wonderful creatures. Once again this gave me the impression that throughout most of his life, he was excelling in everything that he did and rarely experienced failure. Perhaps he never truly experienced what's it like to continuously fail but never giving up.

It makes me wonder how insightful Lucca is. She had a good enough grasp of Friede's character even after years of not seeing one another and understanding that if she had him meet this Pikachu, it would spark something within him.

I adore this scene as we now see that Liko's fate is crossed with Friede's. It's like watching the first wheel turning in a series of events set into motion by Lucca. The Rising Volt Tacklers wouldn't have been formed if not for her having Friede meet Cap. She wouldn't have hired Friede to be Liko's bodyguards and Liko would never experience the growth that she gets from being a part of the Rising Volt Tacklers. It comes full circle and its really fun to see narrative wise.

One thing that I noticed is the fact that Lucca refers to Friede as a 'boy' with a promising future instead of a young man. Perhaps it's a translation choice and it means something else but to me, this further shows that Friede's a gifted kid. Who's to say he wasn't going through advanced courses on his way to get his certifications as a professor? His ambiguous age makes it hard to clock in an exact one but I personally believe he's at least mid to late twenties, making this flashback take place when he was even younger than that.

Regardless, I love how she's honestly supportive of Friede and want what's best for him.

Now we're seeing that Friede's learning everything about Cap but the most important reason: why was this Pikachu pushing himself so far for? That's something one can't get looking at it from a purely analytical view. Friede could collect all the data he wanted by observing from afar and jotting the information down but he will never understand this Pikachu's reasoning and the emotions behind each and every jump.

Thus he needs to not view it just as a Pokemon Professor but as a Pokemon Trainer too. Wasn't that how most people started out in the end? Learning about this world and the various wonderful, mysterious creatures living within it. Forming long lasting bonds and understanding one another. Friede can't keep narrowing himself in this singular viewpoint so it's a nice natural development to see him going back to his roots.

Thus leading us to this climatic scene. Friede finally learns that he can't just keep observing and gathering data. He needs to get moving, to see what this Pikachu is seeing to fully, properly understand him. Friede and Charizard chased after this Pikachu higher and higher until they get to see a new horizon.

There wouldn't be a plot to Pokemon Horizons: Liko and Roy Set Off if there wasn't a Pokemon Horizons: Friede Set Off to set the wheels in motion at the start.

Friede was stuck in a rut, not knowing what to do or where to go with his life. Meeting Cap led to him to ascend from the hole he'd been in just like Cap did to see a new horizon, that the world is vast and there's so much to learn and discover about Pokemon.

He didn't need to be a Pokemon Professor stuck in a lab doing research all day. He can be a Pokemon Professor that travels the world to learn everything that he can. He won't be tied down to one spot. I believe that the origin of his Japanese name Freed is derived from freedom so just like his namesake, he will freely fly higher than the sun with Cap, Charizard and eventually the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

After that, I love how supportive Ludlow was in entrusting his fishing boat to Friede. Again, I wonder if Ludlow is actually Friede's biological grandfather or a really close family friend since I like to think that you'd need to be pretty close to accept that kind of request. That goes the same too with Orla (it's amusing to think that he and Ludlow sailed from Paldea all the way to Hoenn just to find her).

They were childhood friends and despite her having moved to Hoenn, I can see that they've kept good contact with one another. If Friede was an estranged childhood friend, I wouldn't have accepted his frankly outrageous request. It also goes to show that Orla truly is a genius mechanic to be able to follow through with it! I'm truly hoping we'd get an episode focusing on her sometime in the future!

Thus we get the backstory behind the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers! Once again Friede shows that he forgets to share (or just chose not to) information seeing that it came as a surprise to Liko. Even the rest of the crew mentioned how there's so much he never told him and earlier in the episode, Orla stated that he's shy about sharing his past.

If (or when) the hyperfixation hits again, I do want to write up a general Friede character observation up until episode 18. Friede thus far has shown to be someone who keeps his cards close to his chest. He rarely shows his true feelings, and if pointed out, he deflects or redirects the subject. He keeps withholding (or straight up forgetting) in telling the crew information but we know that he cares for them.

It truly makes me wonder what other mysteries or secrets this guy holds and I hope alongside the rest of the RVT, we'll get to see more of their story unveil through their journey.

[cindrikat]

Randomly unlocked a core memory while I was at work and I can't stop thinking about it

When I was 11-12, I watched Mewtwo Strikes Back for the first time

I had watched other Pokemon movies already, but accidentally skipped over the very first one; loved Pokemon 2k at the time and enjoyed MSB just as much, but with an added bonus of brainstorming a crazy what if idea after I finished watching it

Around that time, I was also avidly watching DBZ Kai; and just so happened to watch MSB not very long after seeing Super Saiyan for the first time

So kid me came up with the idea of "What if instead of losing the will to fight after Ash gets turned to stone, Pikachu just fucking snaps?"

Memory is a bit hazy after that because I was too busy hyping myself up after remembering it, but having the knowledge I have now I think I have the perfect vision that kid me would be proud of-

So imagine this: Once Ash is petrified, Pikachu approaches him and cries as he tries to revive him like normal, then as Pikachu's tears are hitting the ground, lightning strikes around the area, striking more frequently and barely missing people and pokemon alike Once Pikachu turns to face Mewtwo, he looks pissed, tears still streaming down his face; Pikachu then shouts at the top of his lungs as a giant lightning bolt strikes him from the sky, a call back to the ending of S1E1 where he saves Ash from a flock of Spearow When the dust of the lightning strike clears, Pikachu is looking pretty different, having grown fangs and horns, his fur frizzed out and now colored a dark saturated red-orange and white, even his own electricity changed to be red instead of yellow Pikachu hasn't technically evolved, these changes are fleeting as evident by how he looks to be flickering between this new look and his normal self at first, but he plans to fight as much as he can while he can maintain that state

Basically what I'm describing is Pikachu almost becoming Gorochu, I always imagined Gorochu being part dark type too, so that'd be a big part of how he'd be giving Mewtwo a run for their money

Hell, I even thought about Gorochu being implemented as the final evolution of a regional variant Pichu/Pikachu evolution line where Pichu stays as a pure electric type, then gains dark after evolving into Pikachu

As far as abilities go for this line, they'd still have Static as their first ability and Lightning Rod as their hidden ability, but as for a secondary ability for Pichu and Pikachu, I feel like they could make good use out of Reckless especially if they use Volt Tackle, but for Gorochu, Reckless gets replaced by Sheer Force

I like to think Gorochu would get a signature move too in the form of what I'm calling Vengeance Bolt; it's a special electric type move with 65 base power with a chance to paralyze, and its power boosts based on how many teammates have fainted, gaining 15 more power per fainted ally, pair that with Sheer Force and it'll shred through most foes when it needs to most-- and I think it'd go so hard if this move referenced Goku's angry Kamehameha; Gorochu charging up all that electricity into their arm, the color of that electricity changing from yellow to deep red and blasting the opponent with it

Okay, crazy concept hyperfixation ramble over, but holy fuck I'd love to see Gorochu become real some day

The Rising Volt Tackler's Dub Names and their Meanings

Pokemon Horizons is totally my hyperfixation rn 🥺 so I did some research about the names of the Rising Volt Tacklers- including Liko and Roy. These are the English Dub versions of the names, so the meaning may differ from the original Japanese.

. 'Liko' is originally a Hawaiian name meaning 'bud'.

. 'Roy' is a Scottish name meaning 'red' or 'red haired'. Roy also means 'King' in French origin.

. 'Friede' is a Germanic name meaning 'peace' and 'friendship'.

. 'Orla' is an Irish name, meaning 'golden princess'.

. 'Murdock' is a name of Scottish origin, meaning 'sea'.

. 'Mollie' or 'Molly' (I'm not sure which spelling they'll use in the dub) is a name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'star of the sea'.

. 'Ludlow' is an English name, meaning 'ruler's hill'.

. 'Dot' is a name of Greek origin, meaning 'gift of God'.

[fadebolt]

Me when I meet a Hungarian on the wild internet who's hyperfixating on the same things as me:

(Amúgy helló, egyáltalán nem North Arti nem egy férfi posztja miatt találtalak meg :v)

Oh hey, I thought I was the only Hungarian who knew about Rain World!  I had this sort of experience once IRL, and it was like, the best thing in the universe. It happened during a rather tough part of my life too, which made it even better. But this unfortunately seemed completely impossible with Rain World (closest I got was finding people in the Shipping Container who live in my timezone), so I’m very glad you stumbled into me! Szóval szia, és üdvözöllek! :D

Emígy bocsi, hogy azon a post-on keresztül kellett megtalálnod. Őszintén, én nem nagyon számítottam arra, hogy azt egy másik magyar személy végül meglátná, úgyhogy ez egy elég jó kis meglepetés volt :) Először meg emígy azt hittem, hogy a WEST miatt találtál rám, bár az nem tudom, hogy mennyivel lett volna jobb xd 

De lényeg ami lényeg, nagyon jó érzés, hogy mostmár bírok itt néha az anyanyelvemen beszélni, ami miatt aztán a legtöbben csak a Google Translate-el bírnak majd megérteni... És mostmár kezdem érteni, hogy ezt miért is csinálják annyian (mint Pansear, vagy North), mert tényleg elég különleges és fun érzés. De azért nem fogom ezt túlzásba vinni, természetesen.
