Zuko: I Want To Die

Astrid: You need to man up.

Tuffnut: Man up? That's sexist.

Tuffnut: I'm sOrRy bUt I DoN't sEe GeNdEr, SIr.

This YouTube comment has been on my mind since I finished SOTR so this is what I came up with:

Lucy Gray was the mockingbird, living on the outskirts of district 12 and was there at the wrong time when they were forced to stay there after the Dark Days. They were subjected to the Capitol’s politics despite not being a part of Panem, technically speaking. Lucy Gray became part of the Games and, likewise, the mockingbird became affiliated with the Capitol through the jabberjay’s release into the woods, but it still continued to sing its own song.

Haymitch was the jabberjay, a Capitol tool that did what it had to in order to survive. The Capitol thought they could control them, but they retaliated in the form of rebellion. Haymitch refused to be a piece in their game and tried to end it, and the jabberjay, in the eyes of the Capitol, created a freak of nature that showed the Capitol’s lack of complete control.

Katniss was the mockingjay, a slap in the face of the Capitol, something that was never meant to exist. Together, the song of the mockingbird that lived on for generations and the stubbornness of the jabberjay that refused to die, the mockingjay had the best of both worlds. It was a symbol of rebellion and unity.

Hiccup: I CAN’T DO IT!

Dagur, laughing: Oh, brother, embrace it!

Hiccup: I CAN’T FUCKING DO IT ANYMORE.

Astrid: WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU CAN EITHER GIVE UP NOW, OR YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, AND WE KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US.

Hiccup:

Hiccup: I appreciate it,

Hiccup: BUT LOOK WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH-

Fishlegs: Hiccup-

Hiccup: YOU GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

Heather: Hiccup, we gotta-

Hiccup: YOU GOTTA DRAW A FUCKING LINE IN THE SAND. YOU GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT.

Hiccup: YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY 'What am I willing to put up with today?'

Hiccup: *motioning towards the twins laughing manically as they drop Snotlout into an active volcano* NOT FUCKING THIS.

Do Ya'll Think

part of the reason why Yaz refused to give up on Brooklynn is because Brooklynn didn't give up on her getting over her PTSD?

Like Sammy was being overprotective to the point that it probably felt like Sammy gave up on Yaz getting better and that hurt Yaz a lot because her PTSD was so dangerous for her and Sammy that Sammy not helping her the way she needed really effected her.

But Brooklynn didn't give up on her. Brooklynn immediately directed her to the Dino Immersion Therapy place that Ben sent Brooklynn (note he doesn't think to send it to Yaz or Sammy but that might have been sent to Brooklynn with the intent of getting Yaz there.)

And I think Yaz is justified in feeling like Sammy gave up on her because season one Sammy was so convinced Yaz wouldn't be doing better despite being at therapy for a good chunk of time and she's still treating Yaz like glass even with how serious them being hunted was.

Brooklynn didn't give up on her, so Yaz doesn't want to give up on Brooklynn.

Big Sister Yaz giving life advice that her Little Bro-man echoes back later in the episode is, without exaggeration, one of my favorite treats in this franchise.

Me: I’m actually feeling pretty good about myself for once

Life: omg I’m so sorry I’ll fix that right away

Hiccup: Sleep is the body’s best safety mechanism.

Astrid: How so?

Hiccup: It keeps you from screwing up for 8 hours.
