Description [link]



I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Hey, guys This was inspired by this lovely cover of Safe and Sound.

I love this movie. Just so much. The main reason why is Hiccup and his friendship with Toothless. I found the whole story so touching, especially the end. One of the things I find most touching is Toothless's protectiveness over Hiccup, a human that he initially probably hated. By the end of the movie he is risking his life to save him, which pretty much makes me collapse in a pile of feels.

I wanted to get inside what I feel is one of Toothless's most desperate moments. He's a very intelligent and expressive character in his own way. I love his face, his expressions, everything.

I think I've talked enough about this one I hope you like it.

This is one of the best pictures of this scene that I've seen. I actually really like Toothless's face. The concern is in his eyes, which is his most expressive feature. The whole thing is just fantastic though. Well done!

Man everytime I think about that ending, the tail fin and the leg ;w; They really are more similar then anyone knew
Such a powerful moment you've portrayed here, even if we don't get to see this in the movie, it's just damn powerful :')

AND THE SONG O.O I don't even like Taylor Swift, but these guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing the music!

Same. My stomach felt like it was in zero-G or something by the end of the movie. I dunno, kinda like when you are about to go on a roller coaster and you are freaked out, that feeling.

Aww that is So cute! Toothless looks so protective of Hiccup. It looks like Hiccup is just peacefully sleeping. He's going to wake up to a hell of a headache however. xD

The next scene is a heart-wrencher--Stoick mourning his son, Toothless looking up, understanding, and revealing that he had saved--most of him. Hiccup's act of mercy saved all their lives, Stoick's belated act of mercy in freeing Toothless from the wreckage saved the life of his son--what a movie! What a lesson! I agree with you about Toothless, he had some GREAT expressions. It's a very good picture of a great scene.

Thank you very much I love all those little moments between Toothless and Hiccup where the viewer is seeing more of whats going on in Toothless's own mind than Hiccup. It makes him so much more than just a horse to a cowboy or a dog to its owner. And the moments where they are both on the same page completely and are equals.

MensjeDeZeemeermin In reply to Stalcry [2013-02-04 19:57:53 +0000 UTC]

Such moments:

'We'll use the Nightmare to illuminate the flack before I take it out...'

'Hey, they draw TOO. Here'a a neat game we play...'

'I always wondered what this place looked like at ground level.'

'Basket! Fish in it? Nuts.'

'Who's this? A new friend?'

'SURE, female monkey, I'll give you a ride...'

'THIS IS A GOOD ONE!'

'But...I showed mercy!'

'He's got wings. So do I.'

And an incredibly important, overlooked line--'Put in with the others.'

Toothless briefed the entire group of captives on what was going on.

Just love that film.

There was so much genius going on with the story that they never make a big deal about how important it is. Like how Hiccup gets the idea to crash the Green Death from almost crashing Toothless. Theres just so much hidden genius.

MensjeDeZeemeermin In reply to Stalcry [2013-02-04 20:09:04 +0000 UTC]

It gets better--I pointed out that Toothless was always firing at the Death's PASSENGER'S SIDE WING. Guess which one shreds in the dive? And the way they WERE using the Nightmare's flame to mark the catapults so that Toothless could hit them from the air. That's why the Nightmare was RIGHT on Hiccup when he downed Toothless.

The casual way Toothless blasted through the practice dome was another subtle note. Have a look at this stuff:

I wish she'd do more.
