"I should've seen the signs" I feel like Stoick was basically reliving the way he lost Valka.
To him, after a lifetime of wanting nothing but to kill a dragon, Hiccup's suddenly and inexplicably changed his mind. To him, Hiccup saying he can't kill them is just like when Valka refused to and tried convincing others as well, then as a result was 'killed' by one herself.
To him, way Hiccup tossed his weapon and shield to the side then approached Hookfang while speaking about how dragons aren't what people think they are probably bares an uncomfortable resemblance to the way Valka put down her weapon and stared a dragon in the eyes and as a result was taken.
To him, attempting to do anything but preemptively defend yourself against a dragon will only end in tragedy, so he has to do anything he can to stop Hiccup before it's too late.
(And just like with Valka, he unintentionally escalated the situation by trying to protect Hiccup but only agitated the dragon, causing it to panic and react, inadvertently putting someone he loves in danger. again)
Stoick of course, wasn't acting rationally, but it makes sense when you think about how traumatizing Valka's 'death' must've been for him (and how much Hiccup reminss him of her); he watched her get taken, presumably killed, and couldn't do anything about it.
out of all of the (many, many, many) miscommunications on dsmp, this one still makes me lose it the most. these two were never on the same page even once and this was the culmination of all of it. 2 entirely different conversations going on
I really like the idea that Etho’s decision to protect his allies is character development, but I’m 90% sure it’s all just because he’s terrified of Cleo and what she’ll do if he betrays them.
Two brothers are left standing in the frozen town around them. They hold each other close, terrified the other will be taken from them too. They’ll hold each other close forever.
In this last moment of innocence before episode 5 comes out I've decided to share with my future self my biggest fears and dreams for the series, so that I can look at them in a week or so and rationally decide the destiny of Marvel.
I will have to burn Marvel to the ground if one or more of these things happen:
Mobius sacrifices himself and does not come back (at least not as the Mobius we know)
Loki sacrifices himself so that all his friends can go back to their timelines
Loki sacrifices himself and Mobius keeps working for a (redeemed) TVA on his own
Sylvie ends up with Mobius as a love interest
Sylkie canon
Mobius is a Thor's Variant
Mobius is a variant of anything/anyone else
Loki is in any way related to Mobius (brother, son, cousin, whatever)
Mobius and Loki say goodbye, Loki leaving to manage the TVA with Sylvie and Mobius staying on his timeline
The original timeline Mobius is dead so Mobius stays behind to take his place without Loki
I'll have to thank Marvel and potentially build a monument to it if one or more of these things happen (not in order of importance):
Mobius sacrifices himself for Loki but comes back safe and happy to stay with him
Loki sacrifices himself for Mobius but comes back safe and happy to stay with him. Bonus: Loki uses the phrase "Glorious purpose" when Mobius tries to stop him and it's clear their friendship has become the real glorious purpose of Loki's life
Loki is Mobius' original nexus event
Mobius stays on his original timeline and Loki decides to remain by his side. Bonus: Mobius has kids and Loki adopts them too
Loki and Mobius save the day and they go off to save timelines together. Bonus: when bidding them goodbye, Sylvie makes a joke about their being starstruck lovers and we understand it's not so much of a joke
Lokius openly canon, with love declaration, actual kiss, forehead touching and/or hand holding (big big plus for the Marvel monument thing I mentioned)
The Loki who's traveling through time is responsible for many of the things we saw in the first two seasons and most of them were done to get Mobius' memories back (i.e. the jetsky magazine on Mobius' desk)
The moment Mobius' memories come back is a VERY emotionally-charged one and it's also a big hint to Lokius
Chris Hemsworth's Thor is back for a short scene, and watching Loki interact with Mobius he understands that his brother is happy and has finally found the love he deserves
"We're in a time loop of our own" means something MUCH bigger than we understood at first
"Love is..." and the answer hints at something Loki and Mobius share so we understand the writers are implying theirs IS a love story, after all
We understand that the relationship between Loki and Mobius has always, surprisingly been the whole point of the whole show
made a quick doodle comic bc im revisiting some old asf episodes from the show lol
picked a nice lil episode to dissect lunar like they're a frog from bio class
anyways. do u think lunar thought their interaction with moon made them feel off. like. that's not really the same guy they knew before they died, just saying.
(( reunited with lunar in vr chat episode. yeah it's 5 months ago ))
Cody peeks out with comical wide-eyed horror at the stinky, noisy intruder (Rex) who is energetically kneading biscuits in the donut bed Cody had just claimed.
(or the second night after Rex was adopted, only 2 days after Cody was adopted, Cody is extremely not thrilled to learn that he is, in fact, not going to be a pampered only child who can monopolize everything)
(and this was BEFORE either of them learned they have 2 older brothers now too...)
I LOVE the scene where Sevika reassures Silco that Jinx would come around eventually.
It’s the first time we see Sevika show a softer emotion (which really humanizes her), and I think this interaction really sheds a lot more light on her relationship with Silco. Namely, that it’s not strictly business.
actually really genuinely makes me so incredibly sick and sad to think of s1 will, who was terrified and losing his mind and no one helped him, especially not the people that he trusted. that line he has that goes "sometimes, at night, i leave the lights on in my little house, and walk across the flat fields... when I look back from a distance, the house is like a boat on the sea. it's really the only time i feel safe." and i think about how scared he was and how he had to leave that person behind, because he would've died, and in that sense he really died anyway
