Happy 2nd year anniversary HTTYD2!

HTTYD 2 turned two today! It's pretty crazy to think that this movie... which I still feel I have only totally barely scratched the surface of analyzing... is now two whole years old. Haha, in truth I am pretty sure I've only ever watched through the whole thing about 12 times... which is not much compared to the 70ish times I've watched the first one. My reason for that is that this second one is such a powerfully emotional roller coaster ride that I can't usually force myself to sit down and watch it unless I've really prepped myself. Every time I've watched it I've cried at least once. I watched it again today in celebration of it's anniversary, and I think I'll do a tiny bit of discussing what I thought of it below.

I'm still alive, barely!

Hey guys, long time no post... again! Man, this year has been busy. I'm right in the middle of dead week, and this is when I take all my lab finals. I thought I'd take a little picture of my desktop image and some of the stuff I am working on. Ha, I just now noticed that the gland I took a picture of was the salivary gland... which is funny since I'v written one of my favorite posts particularly about Toothless's saliva. I've been trying to make it through these last dreadful weeks of constant tests and papers with a healthy dose of caffeine and soundtracks. Hopefully when summer finally gets here I will be able to write you guys a proper post.

Other than school I did go and see The Jungle Book, and it was gorgeous and lovely and I'm probably gonna buy it and my only complaint is that Kaa didn't have more screen time. I am also sort of working on making Dslpash into a type of rpg that is played as a turn based strategy game using digital images. If that works out, I'll be sure to share some of the details with you guys later. So, how has everyone been? Any recent developments that I should know. I noticed The Serpent's Heir is not out yet... which is a bummer because I really want to read it.

Anyway, hope you are all doing better than I am! Seriously... I need to get back to studying!

Big HTTYD3 News... Like, crazy news.

I just found an interview with Dean DeBlois concerning HTTYD3... and some of the news revealed by the interview is shocking! I'm not sure I agree with the direction the film is going to take, but click the read more to see the news.

Happy HTTYD Day (It's been SIX years people!)

The image you see above is the first image I saved to my computer that has anything to do with HTTYD. Talk about crazy... this thing is six years old! Today, as a way to commemorate six awesome years of HTTYD fans and fandom, I thought I'd show you some of my oldest stuff... my "firsts". So, if you want to see my earliest fan works, please click the "read more".

Did someone say chess (or Maces and Talons)?

When I announced my return to the blog, several people asked me if I would write more about RttE. Well, this is my attempt to do so! Haha, I must confess I have not gone super in depth with the tv series, but last season was good, so it deserves more than the one post I gave it! The subject of this post will be Viggo Grimborn. There were two things I've seen people going nuts over after the series: Viggo Grimborn, and Hiccstrid. Since I'm not all that good at analyzing Hiccstrid, I thought I'd give our new frightening villain a shot. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm coming back. I promise!

I have been gone quite a while because of my intense school schedule. I will be writing some this week... because it is my spring break! Now, if anyone wants something particular blogged about this week, please leave me a comment. I've got ideas for an analysis already. It's good to be back!

Microreveiew of RttE season 2!

So, I have finished watching all the episodes in the second season of Race to the Edge, and I'm gonna write a quick review of the ENTIRE season. What this means is that I'm gonna try to give you as many pros and cons that I can remember, so we may get quite a nice list. If you are still on the fence about the seasons, maybe this will help you to decide whether you do (or don't) want to watch them.
