L-E-O IS THE BEST!!!!

Rory

Rory regained his breath enough to reply, “As soon as we can.” He scrubbed the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand and swallowed hard.

Sprinting again at 1:00 to write an essay on The Screwtape Letters.

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome. =D

Leo

His eyebrows rose. The church?

“Alright.” He wouldn’t question it.

“We can take an early lunch break in a few minutes. Or we can go by after work. Whichever you want.”

He’d message Liko and tell him he had to leave early. And he’d send a number over to Silvia to let her know where they’d be.

The kid…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Well, that’s a good reason. But maybe Indy will still work out.

Finished 677 word essay on Monet.

@whalekeeper

*gasp* That is GORGEOUS.

@hybridlore

Oh, okay. Indiana’s a great state though. Aside from the lack of snow.

@esther-c

If I went to a prom it’d probably be closer to central Indiana. I’m not going this year. My mom wasn’t sure I’m old enough, (sophomore), and I didn’t have the money to buy a…[Read more]

GIRL!!! You’re gonna make me cry! ‘

Rory

Rory hung on to Leo, pressing his face against the older boy’s shoulder. For a time he wept, and the relief was frighteningly sweet. At last he forced out in a choked voice, “Leo, I… I want to go back to the church.”

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He took Rory’s hands in his own, forcing him to stop cutting his palms.

“Rory, you’ve been carrying a lot of things on your shoulders. What you’re telling me–that was wrong. Horribly wrong. But it’s not your fault.”

He pulled the kid into a hug like he was five year old Quincy. Rory was shaking.

Leo sighed, and began to…[Read more]

@koshka

Rory

Rory swung his foot against the floor and sniffed hard. “Two years ago. I… I was fourteen.” He rubbed his scared arm again. “I couldn’t go near planes again. I knew they would kill me, but I’d rather die then go up there again. I thought they would find out… but then i was transferred to another base. I don’t know why.” He…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor kids indeed.

Leo

He sucked in a breath through clenched teeth, and slowly let it out. He was not cut out to be a counselor, alright.

But he was a brother. Leo pulled a handkerchief from his pocket.

“You haven’t let yourself grieve, have you? When did this happen?”

@whalekeeper HTTYD is PEAK FICTION and you can’t tell me otherwise.

I do love how well done the disability stuff is. Like, it’s important to the story, but it’s not the whole thing. Hiccup and Toothless have personalities besides their respective injuries. Although it makes for some funny moments:

Tuffnut: Hiccy! A moment? Listen, I’ve been…

XD

Some things never change

@koshka

Poor Rory. I actually feel bad.

Rory

Rory hoked back another sob and sucked in a shuddering breath. “My navigator was injured. The fire got him across the right side of his face, neck, and shoulder. He…. he broke down and started crying, and I held him. He was just a kid, Leo. We all were! It was the first time I had ever seen one…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Maniacal laugh.

@whalekeeper

Bwahaha. YES.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Fury, red hot and searing, boiled up in his throat. Leo closed his eyes, trying to choke it down.

Inexperienced, trainies, used as test pilots. No escape plan. Destress calls ignored. Fire,screams, acrid smoke. And the lost. His fists clenched.

Stay calm. Keep control for the kid. He doesn’t need your anger.

He exhaled…[Read more]

Sprinting to write an essay about Claude Monet.

@hybridlore

Oh, which other state? We’re going to have to dissect a pig too, and I’m dreading it. Lol, I didn’t even think about the Animal Farm connection.

@keilah-h

Or I’ll take something important to the character from them. (Like Toothless’s tail fin.)

You just triggered my repressed obsession for HTTYD and I’m not complaining. The Vikings are many things, but they are not ableist, and it’s so well done. 😂
