CAN I INTRODUCE YALL TO MY NEW COSPLAY WITH LIZOR COSPLAY: Original design wedding Hiccstrid (design by @bgsdragons -sorry for the repost of your art but I couldn't find the original post and I wanted to show the original art. If you want, I'll take it down-). Gods, I am so happy about this day (although Lizor Cosplay couldn't completely finish the cosplay, but still it's so prettyyyyy)! Here's a gif of us dancing:

Before you come at me, I wanna get something across.

When we (some fans) make super long posts about how some people didn’t understand the story of the movie or list reason for the dragons leaving, we’re not telling you to like the movie, and we’re not telling you to be okay with the dragons leaving ‘cuz we’re not sure we’re okay with it ourselves we’re just sharing the story how we saw it. You can take it or leave it. We’re just trying to clear the Light Fury and Toothless’ image. Because you’ve right. Toothless would never leave Hiccup for his girlfriend. And he didn’t.

We know reasons weren’t clear enough in the movie, but it was clear that Toothless didn’t leave for the Light Fury. I’m not gonna go down that road again because they are many factors and I’ve already discussed it here.

Look. I’ve been chewing on this for a while. I’m not looking for sympathy, but goddamn, some of you don’t get it. I’mma ‘bout to get on a damn pissy soapbox here that may hurt some feelings, so if you’d rather stay blissfully ignorant, just keep scrolling and don’t read under the cut. I’m talking pregnancy loss, maternal complications, and fandom headcanons here.

1. This is real

2. It’s because it was already released on Australia

- don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

- archive everything on your blog you want to keep

- tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

- tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

- go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.
