The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 3
100% honesty here, the third movie killed my motivation to finish this. However, I had already begun to write it out and I hate to let the work waste away in my draftsā¦ So, Iām going to leave what I wrote and give a semi-ending to this. I hope you enjoy. Part 1 | Part 2 Summarizing part 2, when given freedom, Hiccup is shown … Continue reading The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 3
The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia
Iāve been rereading the webcomic in preparation for new chapters coming soon (I hope) and I have begun to wonder about how Claude viewās Athanasia in relation to her bloodline. Let me explain:Ā Ā Athanasiaās grandfather was āa tyrant obsessed with richesā while Claude is more attuned to leisure and pleasure than his predecessor. Athanasia, as we know, is obsessed with gold (for her run-away fund), … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: Claude and Athanasia
Dub vs. Sub: Donāt be a snob.
My best friend from college recently came over, and we had a short discussion of the dub vs. sub controversy that I havenāt had since… well, high school probably. Nice to know somethings donāt change in the anime community, right? That aside, Iām always shocked to hear, even from my niece, how some people think that dub is inferior to subtitles and, to me, that … Continue reading Dub vs. Sub: Donāt be a snob.
Reboots: Theyāre for who?
When I was interning a handful of summers ago, I remember talking with a handful of editors and peers about our favorite comic to television adaptations. I said honestly that I am not a fan of Teen Titans Go because I donāt think it has a lot of substance when compared to Teen Titans or Young Justice. Itās a problem I have with a lot … Continue reading Reboots: Theyāre for who?
The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
I was thinking about Chapter 7 of “Suddenly I Became a Princess One Day,ā particularly this scene:Ā Ā and it got me thinking about The ObelianĀ Royal Family and heirs to the throne. By all indication (that I hear) of the novel, and in our telling thus far, Athanasia seems to have a secure spot as future Emperor (rather,Ā Empress) of the empire. Iām not going to question … Continue reading The Obelian Royal Family: The Heir
HTTYD3 Review: Iām Disappointed (SPOILER WARNING)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorialā Iām going to be honest and tell you all that I was disappointed with this final installment of the HTTYD Animated Universe.Ā SPOILER WARNING.Ā Starting with just the basics, did anyone notice how Valka went from brunet to a red-head?

When Stoick leaves, and Hiccup is just beginning to experience his freedom, Hiccup experience his first confrontation with an expectation of responsibility. Where does it come from? Who? You might askā¦ is it Gobber? No. Is it Toothless? Not really. Toothless doesnāt expect Hiccup to come back for him or anything else after heās freed. So who? Itās Astrid. Let me explain. As Hiccup and … Continue reading The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 2
The Rise of a King, Hiccup – Part 1
This is a long analysis so Iām going to break this into a bunch of parts. I donāt know how many yet, but Iāll put links to each part at the top and bottom each part as they come out.

Soul of a Dragon?
āYou have the heart of a chief…and the soul of a dragon.“ – Valka When Iām not working or sleeping–Iām rewatching all the HTTYD movies/shows in preparation for the new movie and I think I noticed something about Hiccup thatās different from the other dragon riders.Ā Certainly, weāve all noticed thatĀ āhe (Hiccup) has a way with the beasts,ā but his way with them isnāt like … Continue reading Soul of a Dragon?
Could Jannette be older than Athanasia?
So, I know that in the “Lovely Princess” novel that Athy read in her past life, Princess Athanasia was the elder sister (actually cousin) of Jannette, but the timeline for the current story doesn’t seem to match. Going by how the manhwa has framed the two princesses’ origins, Penelope left the mansion pregnant before Claude met/started-a-relationship with Diana, right? And based on how close the … Continue reading Could Jannette be older than Athanasia?
