Fuck The Nine Realms - Tumblr Posts
A great Magazin of httyd has died because of the nine Realms and from the faces from the Not Hiccup and Not Toothless. Fuck Tom and Thunder! Fuck the nine Realms! I should buy the Last One of These before they get ruined By the nine Realms.
I‘m with you on this✨ Astrid is my Favorite from the Gang and she’s so Complexe and it would be soooo interesting!
They should give us a Astrid Series instead of the fucking Nine Realms.
Give Justice to the Queen of this Franchise, DreamWorks! She deserve it💕
Well, I think the Astrids from HTTYD1 and HTTYD2 are different. Are you the exact same person you were five years ago? I’m definitely not. No one is. I think the dynamism that her character shows between the two films is exactly the kind of growth that we all go through, especially in the years between adolescence and adulthood, which is what Astrid just experienced. Often times, those are our most formative years in terms of personality.
By the time HTTYD2 rolls around, Berk has been at peace for the past few years. All is well between dragons and vikings, so there’s just no need for anyone really to be aggressive at this time of their lives. Astrid is a shieldmaiden and warrior, yes, but she is many other things, too. She has a soft and caring side. She’s brave and fearless at times, and she’s scared for the safety of her loved ones during other times. She squeals at baby dragons. She’ll go to the ends of the earth to protect what she holds dear, especially Hiccup and Toothless. She knows how much they mean to each other, because she too has a dragon she grew to befriend and love. She changed because Hiccup showed her there was a way other than violence. He showed her compassion and how to feel for things that aren’t human, that knowing the dragons’ true nature deserved to be shared with the rest of the Viking world. She grew to share Hiccup’s vision of peace between dragons and Vikings, and grew to love him as well.
Love changes people, too. She’s giddy when we see her on Itchy Armpit with Hiccup, smiling and laughing and looking at him like that. You know that look. That look you give to the one who’s undoubtedly your sun and stars.
They both adore each other, and she’s so at ease when he’s around; she shows her compassionate side much more clearly now that she lets her heart rule her head, instead of the other way around, as she once did.
And yet she’s still assertive. She tells Hiccup that what he’s looking for is within himself. She point-blank lists the things she’ll do to help Hiccup once he’s become Chief, before he even wanted to be one himself, like take Toothless out on flights. She’s already taking the role of Lady Chief, hehe.
And as for messing up, she’s not the only character to do so. Hiccup messed up by trusting Drago enough to try and negotiate, even though he was a man incapable of mercy or abandon, and Stoick ended up killed as a result (though the fault is all Drago’s, I’m not blaming Hiccup or anything). Valka messed up. Stoick messed up. Nobody’s perfect, and none of their initial plans worked out. So I don’t think it’s a gender trope here.
I really do hope she does take more independent roles, in both the future movie and in RTTE. She’s a great character, I think, and she’s proven herself to be a capable heroine on many occasions. She’s wise in her own way, she always seems to know what to say to get Hiccup thinking, and she’s definitely a boss ass bitch. She deserves more recognition and attention as a person without tying Hiccup into the equation.
I want more Astrid, DreamWorks. Y’all are a progressive company, so I’m sure you can make it happen. Give me more of her dynamism and her perfection and her flaws, too. Give me more of her strength and her softness. She can be all of these things and more, because she’s a person.
I just need moar.
