Well, the teaser trailer for the HTTYD live-action remake (HTTYDLAR? Idk) dropped and, I have thoughts. Honestly, I didn't want to come back to this blog in a negative way, but as it is my HTTYD fan blog, I think this is the most appropriate place to cover this topic.
Hello! I am Usertoothless, and I am a Christian, a HUGE HTTYD fanboy, a Berk's Grapevine "Dragon Master", and all around nerd. This is my personal blog where I post HTTYD opinions, news, fanart, and fan fictions (along with the occasion content from my other fandoms). I hope you will enjoy what you see here. Here's to Hiccup and Toothless and their fantastic friendship which literally changed my life!

Meggie and I are Married!
I’ll be sure to report back in to talk about the amazing wedding when we return from the honeymoon. We are so thankful to everyone. We had friends and family from all over the world, and it meant so much to us. It was a very special day.

A New Chapter In Our Story
The last post I made may have been a little cryptic! But it was meant for a very specific someone. On the 14th, I proposed to "VikingontheBackofaDragon". Well, more specifically I proposed to my dear Meggie. I am so happy to say that her answer was a smiling "Of course."

New Blog
Hi all!
I wanted to let you know that I am going to be running a new blog that focuses more on media criticism and analysis. I don't fancy myself an expert on this by any means, but I would love to give my perspective on a broader array of stories and topics.
I have a first post that explains my mentality behind media criticism, but I also wanted to explain why I am not doing this here on my original blog.
This blog is very personal. It was a place I used primarily to celebrate the story I loved, HTTYD. Because of that, this blog isn't really focused on criticism. It is very positive, and I usually just didn't discuss the elements of stories that I thought weren't great.
This new blog will give me a platform to discuss stories I love as well as ones I feel fall short. I do not intend for this new blog to replace this one. For specifically HTTYD stuff, it will probably still show up here. For personal nerd stuff, it will probably show up here! I do not know if I will be successful at posting here often like I used to, but I do still have a place for this blog in my heart, so I am not abandoning it!
So, as for warnings, the new blog will cover some media and films that are definitely more mature than HTTYD. Ha. I may also be more negative and critical in my analysis than I usually am here. But if you are interested in seeing my critiques and analysis, please feel free to give the new blog a shot.

HTTYD in Live Action: Part 2
Onto my second point of concern regarding the HTTYD live-action remake (and live-action remakes as a whole). These remakes are made to bank off and profit directly from the original. Many of them depend on the audience fondly remembering the original story and use that nostalgia to blind the viewer and prevent them from looking critically at this new adaptation.
