| iluvhttyd 12 Jul 2014, 07:49 | I knew about it before hand (some person on Tumblr leaked it to me) and I decided to deny it until it was confirmed. When I actually saw it happen, I changed. For the better or worse, I'm not sure. My heart broke seeing everyone's reactions to Stoick's death, especially Hiccup's since I have a personal connection with him. When Stoick died (and during his funeral), I was bawling my eyes out, and I tried to be as quiet as I could; my mom thinks it's stupid I cried during an animated movie. I'm not happy to say that I was happy to see Hiccup cry. I mean, that's not to say Hiccup doesn't have feelings. He lost his father for Thor's sake. But seeing him sobbing on his father's body broke my heart. If you didn't cry at all during Stoick's death and funeral scene, you have no heart. Or you got your tear ducts removed. Or the scene wasn't powerful enough to make you cry. He got teased at 15. Even after the defeat of the Red Death. I think I have PTSD because of Stoick's death...I can't get that part of the movie out of my head and all I see is Hiccup sobbing on his father's body (which tears my heart up, by the way) and Stoick getting killed by the brainwashed Toothless. I couldn't even watch the first movie when it was on TV later that night...probably because of Stoick...that or I had just seen it the day before I saw HTTYD2. After Stoick died, I held a memorial on the Monday after I saw the movie, complete with a hand-drawn picture of him surrounded by handmade paper flowers, eulogies by Hiccup, Valka, Gobber, myself, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Snotlout. The memorial also had music. It may seem stupid to you that I held a memorial service for a fictional character, but to me, this was more than just a death of a character. I love Hiccup (as I'm sure a lot of you do too) and I hate seeing him in any form of pain. He hasn't been the same since his father's death, and I know I'll never be the same either. I heard Gerard is signed on for the third movie, and I'm interested in hearing what they've got planned; if it'll be a Mufasa-type thing like TLK 2 where he shows up at the end and has one line or if there will be flashbacks or if Hiccup will have a nightmare remembering that day. Stoick was more than a fictional character to me, and I will always treat him that way. Am I crazy? Probably. Did I become more depressed than I already was over Stoick's death? Most definitely. But are we, as a fandom, going to stick together throughout these hard times, remembering Stoick during the good times, and sometimes the bad? I seriously hope so. |
