Okay, But Seriously On The Topic Of Straight People Being So Overly Concerned About Their Children Being

Bad Cats.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Now that his saga has come to a close with How to Train Your Dragon 3, I gotta give appreciation to Toothless being one of my most favorite characters of all. It was love at first sight when I saw the original movie in theaters in 2010. I love characters who have strong personalities and definable traits without needing language, and Toothless is one of the best examples of this: his expressions, movements, all the little nuances in his growls and gazes and subtle body gestures - honestly, sometimes it’s hard to believe he’s not a real animal. The folks at Dreamworks did amazing work giving him such realistic creature qualities, and the amount of animation detail in the texture of his scales, the depth of his eyes, and just everything about him is full of the wonder and cuteness of any real animal. Although his story is finished, I’ll never get tired of seeings his adorable mug~!

I’m so glad my favorite boy got to end his journey on a high note. It’s been a great 9 years of following his development and I look forward to watching his movies again and again!

A sentient hat piloting a mannequin.

A dark elf who’s afraid of the dark, and terrified of spiders.

A peasant farmer who joined the adventure because they’re going through a midlife crisis and want to ~find themself.~

A werewolf who doesn’t believe in the moon.

Accepting Myself

I struggle with self-acceptance, as I’m sure many of us do. There are sides of me that I hate, things that make me sick. But I can acknowledge these things, understand that as of right now, they are a part of me - and from there, I can work on overcoming them. 

These are things I would like to share with you, and maybe one day I will, but as of right now, they are private to me. The reason I want to share these things is so that those who struggle with it know that they are not alone, that there are others out here who are facing the same things. 

With my security in who I am, I can now work on my other insecurities. My body, my voice, etc. Things I am self conscious about, and that I don’t like about me. We can all work together for self acceptance, and when I get better I promise I’ll pull all of you up with me.
