i had a dream i went to magical idol school and i got in trouble with the cops so the rest of the dream was me, a magical girl, running from the cops.
the reason i was being chased down was because the headmaster of the school was trying to frame my friend and ruin his life only because she, and the rest of the school, didn’t like his powers so I killed her out of anger haha
Okay, so do vampires drink from arteries or veins or both? Asking for a friend.
@lqtraintracks This drew me in too easily, what the hell 👏😂
This guy is the Gordon Ramsey of blood.
“THIS BLOOD HAS SO MUCH FUCKING ACID IN IT, I’M SEEING TECHNICOLOR DEMONS!!!”
I actually had a similar discussion with @dandelion-stuff-and-fluff on this topic, and there’s one more element that was missing: Venous blood has already been stripped of the good stuff. All the oxygen, all the nutrients it was carrying out to the cells has been absorbed, and on the return it’s carrying only CO2 and waste products.
I guess it depends on how the vampire’s metabolism works, but biologically speaking, there’s just not much to *get* out of venous blood; it would be like drinking diluted piss with some added iron (she said.)
”Hiccup!” I cry longingly. “Hiccup! Come back to me, Hiccup….”
And I hold out my arms.
”Don’t worry!” he calls. “I will come back. I promise…”

”He said something I have never forgotten, though it seemed a little strange to me at the time. He said: ‘History is a set of repeating circles, like the tides. The wind does blow through the ruins of Tomorrow. But it is more of a question of two steps forward, one step back. Humans and dragons make the same mistakes, again and again, but things do get better over time.’” – Hiccup III
A timeline of the three Hiccups from the How to Train Your Dragon books by Cressida Cowell
I sketched this out before How to Betray a Dragon’s Hero was released. There are a few things that the new book directly contradicts that I had already finalized. If you’ve read it, you probably know the spoilers, but just in case I won’t detail them on this post.
I drew inspiration from the movie designs for a lot of this, namely the designs of the giant Seadragons (Furious, Merciless) The three eyes and coral helms are movie flair. It’s what I pictured when I first read about Furious, so it’s what I drew. Again, spoilers came after….
I could not figure out the color of the dragons. There are a LOT of dragons and some colors were never stated, others stated three different ways in cover art or book text or extras and recolors. I picked my own colors as I saw fit and kept what I could to the book: all I know for sure is that Toothless is green, and similarly that Hiccup III has red hair and Hiccup II has blonde hair, blue eyes. I kept Hiccup I similar in looks to movie!Hiccup because their stories are very similar. Etc. There’s a TON of creative licence here, it’s by no means correct.
I personally like to think of the Hiccup boys as reincarnations. I may be wrong. But even if it’s stated that I am…that’s just how I think. They have too much in common, not just in actions but down to using the exact same words in the exact same situations. And I think there’s something really beautiful in imagining Hiccup the II in his new life, meeting the wreck his brother has become and trying to reason with him…Wodensfang having to face his mistakes and regrets directly to the incarnation of his beloved Hiccup I…the irony of Hiccup II in a sense being able to hear his father’s apology in his next life….etc. I find it fascinating and sweet…maybe I just want a happy ending for the poor babies. They have to go through a lot.
Anyway, reincarnation was what I had in mind when I drew this. I tried to make it all loop together, as if their lives were starting over directly in the mess of their previous life, picking up from the end of one circle into the next. One step forward, two steps back, crossing lines in certain sections, reliving others, fixing some mistakes and doing others all over again.
