Yeah, I got it. It's just that the "losing his foot" thing is not even a part of the book canon (Hiccup does get shot in the foot, but it's all very different, and he recovers later on), and Toothless's main problem is definitely not his tail. In fact, Toothless is ALL a problem. He's super small and he can't fly properly (he spends a huuge amount of time whining about it) and can't do shit. He doesn't have a specific disability.

ETA: I'm sorry if I sound inappropriately dry :/ I seriously cannot share your enthusiasm in any way. I don't like the thing. I'm glad that you do, but I'm definitely a book 'verse fan myself.

Ah okay. It was just that what you were describing didn't sound like it had anything to do with what I was asking so it seemed like you didn't understand where I was coming from.

Also, I skipped over it before, but what's with the tildes around ~disability~? I usually see that used in a sarcastic way but the rest of your comments seem fairly respectful so I'm confused.

[dreemyweird]

No, I didn't mean it in a sarcastic way; it was just to stress the word. (Maybe I used it incorrectly, too. I do tend to develop personal quirks when it comes to punctuation.)

[sarillia]

I figured that was probably it. Just thought I'd ask.

[nyxelestia]

I was about to ask about that, actually - why not use italics? Because reading "~disability~" made it seem like you were being sarcastic and condescending, and it took me a few more comments to realize you weren't. :|

[dreemyweird]

I'm sorry about this! I didn't mean to sound like that :( It's just that sometimes I'm too lazy to type in italics, and the tildes would normally play roughly the same role - when we are talking non-sensitive concepts.

If I hurt somebody's feelings, that was entirely unintentional and is much regretted.

[nyxelestia]

Eh, like I and the anon said, the rest of your comments made it pretty obvious that you weren't trying to be condescending - it was just really confusing, because in my experience, using tildes around a word tends to carry a condescending or sarcastic connotation no matter what you are talking about.

When people can't use italics (i.e. on Facebook) and need to emphasize something, usually they use *asterisks* or /slashes/ around a word/phrase, and those don't really carry any kind of emotion or connotation with them.
