If This Wasn't In The Bloopers, Imma Effing Cry

I personally agree with this

I feel like people have forgotten that Toothless is the only “Night Fury” that Berk (and the audience) has ever seen. That means that everything we claim to know about Toothless’ species is just an assumption, because it’s only based on one individual dragon.

Y’all think Toothless’ species is supposed to be black because he’s black, not because all “night furies” are actually black. Y’all think that Toothless species is supposed to have nubs and spikes all over them because Toothless has nubs and spikes all over him, not because all “night furies” actually have nubs and spikes. Hell, the reason that Toothless’ species is even called Night Fury is because of Toothless alone, not because his entire species resembles him or behaves like him.

So all this “the Light fury isn’t a true night fury” and “what happened to Night furies being the unholy offspring of lightning and death” nonsense needs to stop, because you guys don’t actually have any confirmed information on the entire night fury species; you only have knowledge on one individual member, which, according to rules of taxonomy, is not enough. So stop acting like you have a bible on what Night Furies are actually supposed to be like.

Used to love when the fandom fangirled and bonded over new material; but the way you guys are jumping ship so easily on a franchise you claimed to have loved so passionately over a handful of images is ridiculous. It’s one thing to constructively critique your media, and it’s another thing to sound like a whiny middle-aged woman at a retail store who’s jumping to conclusions because she can’t get her way. Wait till we get some trailers and then feel free to abandon the franchise all you like. At least that would make more sense.

Reblog if you think Brock's laugh is adorable

Why do I hear my grandma saying this!?!?!

10 ways in which fans rewrite their favourite television shows:

1) Recontextualization - the production of vignettes, short stories, and novels that seek to fill in the gaps in broadcast narratives and suggest additional explanations for particular actions.

2) Expanding the series timeline - the production of vignettes, short stories, novels that provide background history of characters, etc., not explored in broadcast narratives or suggestions for future developments beyond the period covered by the broadcast narrative.

3) Refocalization - this occurs when fan writers move the focus of attention from the main protagonists to secondary figures. For example, female or black characters are taken from the margins of a text and given centre stage.

4) Moral realignment - a version of refocalization in which the moral order of the broadcast narrative is inverted (the villains become the good guys). In some versions the moral order remains the same but the story is now told from the point of view of the villains.

5) Genre shifting - characters from broadcast science fiction narratives, say, are relocated in the realms of romance or the Western, for example.

6) Cross-Overs - characters from one television programme are introduced into another. For example, characters from Doctor Who may appear in the same narrative as characters from Star Wars.

7) Character dislocation - characters are relocated in new narrative situations, with new names and new identities. 

8) Personalization - the inserted of the writer into a version of their favourite television programme. For example, I could write a short story in which I am recruited by the Doctor to travel with him in the TARDIS on a mission to explore what has become of the Manchester United in the twenty-fourth century. (However, as Jenkins points out, many in the fan culture discourage this subgenre of fan writing.)

9) Emotional intensification - the production of what are called “hurt-comfort” stories in which favourite characters, for example, experience emotional crisis.

10) Eroticization - stories that explore the erotic side of a character’s life. Perhaps the best known of this subgenre of fan writing is “slash” fiction, so called because it depicts same-sex relationships (as in Kirk/Spock,etc.)

I ACCEPT!!!!!

Imagine an AU where: 

It’s post-Armawasn’t, Crowley and Aziraphale are bopping around London when they both suddenly feel a surge of demonic and angelic energy. For a few minutes they’re legit fearing for their lives until they round a corner to find Gabriel and Beelzebub messily* sucking face

*They haven’t quite figured out how everything works with these squishy bodies yet

Cue absolute rage on Crowley’s part. Armageddon aside, everyone knows damn well they were targeted for being friends and now here their bosses are, climbing each other like forbidden apple trees and moaning loud enough to scare off alley cats. They tried to burn Aziraphale and now here they are acting like a couple of love-sick mortal teens? The absolute HYPOCRISY

Crowley’s about to go in swinging with a bat he conjured up when Aziraphale beats him to it. He calmly—but with an air that makes both lord and archangel still—approaches and announces that yes, they saw them. Yes, Aziraphale has photographic proof (he shakes the ancient Nokia that he’d used slyly on the fly and Crowley is suitably impressed). From here on out if you ever approach us with anything other than an apology we will send these to both God and Satan themselves

Zira-Just-Enough-Of-A-Bastard-To-Be-Worth-Knowing-Fell just accomplished his first blackmail and Crowley has never been more turned on in his life
