we always specify the difference between the earlier books and the later books in the HTTYD franchise as "books 1-7 are whimsical, fun child fantasy and books 8-12 are absolutely fucked" but... i don't believe that's true.
the later books are consistently fucked up and complicated and mature and wonderful and tend to leave me with tears in my eyes. the early books trick you into believing that they're fun children's stories and then jumpscare you with the most messed up set of paragraphs you've ever read in your entire fucking life AND THEN just pretend like nothing ever happened.
the books all take place in the same universe, the same fucked up, horrible world. the early books are through the lense of a child who hasn't yet grasped how fucked up the world is, who hasn't been exposed to the fuckery yet. the later books are through the lense of the same child who has now been burdened with Knowledge. once you have the context of the later books, the earlier books start to make too much sense. and holy fuck do they get a lot darker upon reread.
the books are all completely fucked up. the only difference is the consistency at which the books are fucked up.
you know what book seriously messed me up as a kid? book 2. DEAR GODS BOOK 2.

Nandor and Guillermo watching the new Interview with the Vampire show one rainy Sunday evening. And the whole time we can see Guillermo's face going "This could be us but you are stupid"

Oh mY *GOD,* GO WATCH THE D&D MOVIE WHEN IT COMES OUT
I saw an early screening of Honor Among Thieves this Sunday. Apart from the fact that I cried when I saw myself up in the long long credits, I SUPER enjoyed this movie. Not just a great D&D film that feels extremely D&D, but it also just. Is a great movie in general. Fun, thrilling, emotional beats, fun characters, all that jazz. Trust me, friends; you're gonna love it. You really are. Please, just. See the movie. It's great.

I am emotionally attached. I will never get over it. Never. I refuse to believe that this series was anything but perfection. Everything, was perfect. The healthiest, most realistic, couples that could ever have been formed. WinTeam, PharmDean, ManaowPhruek, BeePrince, WaanTul. Absolutely divine. I swear to god, I have not seen such a beautiful thing in ages. It was so light hearted and easy to watch, yet such a deep meaning and beautiful connection was formed.
CONSENT. ALL THE COUPLES SHOW CONSENT. THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST SERIES WHERE CONSENT HAS BEEN ASKED FIR EXPLICITLY FROM BOTH SIDES IN THE RELATIONSHIP.
I swear it is so beautiful, so emotional, so heartfelt. I recommend all people of the world to watch "Between Us".
Go watch it people. Show some love.

More Castlevania fanart! This time for the wonderful fic The Heart’s Blood which is part of the bigger collection, Team Succeed or Die Trying by @biblichor (hope that’s the correct one, there are in fact two biblichors) which you can read here, and you should read it because it is wonderful. It is sweet, it is funny, it is touching, all of the characters are written perfectly, and it is one of the best Castlevania works I’ve read.
