Talk:Snotlout Jorgenson/@comment-34246203-20180110082546

I can honestly say that Snotlout is one of my favorite characters and I don't think he gets nearly enough recognition. He's a stubborn, arrogant idiot, I can't deny but think for a second about everything he has riding on him. There are so many people he's terrified of disappointing, and at the top of that list is Spitelout, the hardest possible person to please. He's hardly ever heard about his father's failures, so Snotlout has sort of build this almost god-like image of his father in his mind, and he has to live up to that. It's almost like that old thing with a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, except both are Spitelout and they're both saying the exact same thing.

Snotlout is trapped inside his own head in nearly every way I can think of, but then you add the pressure his family already piles on him, and the pressure he puts on himself, and suddenly it's a miracle that he hasn't run himself into a wall by now.

And about how he supposedly keeps his dad's mistreatment of him to himself, I mostly agree, but I would also like to remind you of that one time from Snuffnut when he was with Fishlegs and they were showing off their topiaries. He held up a dead twig with a leaf dangling off the end. "I call this 'barren soul wrapped in nothingness'. It was between that and 'my lousy childhood'."

Snotlout is so underappreciated and it makes me sad.
