I like to think that Hiccup would be more of an affectionate father because he somewhat wished that Stoick was. Hence the birth of this sketch. I also love the more domestic side of Hiccup and Astrid, and can’t resist drawing cute family moments lol.
p.s.
Zephyr hates her father’s affection.

Why are people so hellbent on ignoring that Hiccup may be skinny looking and gangly but he's absurdly strong, all the meat he does have on his (very sturdy, by genetics) bones is likely muscle. He rides Toothless, one of the fastest dragons in the known world, the g-force Hiccup would experience on his dragon is insane. So insane that Im pretty sure Hiccup can't actually maintain Toothless's top speed for longer then maybe a single bank/turn. His body could not logically withstand the force for extended time.
Hiccup's body undergoes rapid acceleration and deceleration every single time he flies Toothless, the actual strength he would need to do that (without even cracking Toothless's top speed) proves Hiccup isn't some frail, wilting rose.
On top of that obvious show of strength, vigor and stamina; Hiccup is a Blacksmith, which is an occupation notorious for its demand on the body, and accomplished swordsman. We see him physically move Viggo with only his upper body strength at one point.
Reminder: Im not saying he's a better fighter then Viggo, nor even that he's stronger, only that Hiccup has demonstrated he is evenly matched for strength.
Hiccup is, undoubtedly, tougher physically then almost every single character. Including Viggo, Dagur, and maybe even Stoick. He is also demonstrably stronger then all the other Dragon Riders.
(Moving Viggo, unbending metal with his bare hands, lifting Toothless, restraining Astrid easily, knocking out three of Snotlouts teeth with one punch, carrying Astrids whole body without any sign of strain (Astrid is canonically 120lbs), etc)
I know we all love our skinny scrawny nerdboy, but he is not weak, he is not helpless, and its so frustrating people pretend he is.

“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.
“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.
“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”

why do fake fireplaces always just have fake decorative logs? They could put anything in there.

I mentioned this vaguely a bit ago but I think each of Inej's six knives can be argued to all match up to one of the crows. You can probably swap a few of them and some are stronger than others, but:
Petyr: archers, reknowned for his bravery = Inej; 'the heart is an arrow', 'lovely and brave and better...', and it was her first knife, a gift from Kaz
Lizabeta: flowers and gardens = Matthias; the yellow tulips, laid out in the Van Eck garden
Alina: orphans and undiscovered gifts = Nina, who was raised in an orphanage and fought in the Second Army like Alina, and has a very new and undiscovered gift after parem alters her power
Marya: those far from home = Wylan, the runaway; plus his mother's name is Marya!
Anastasia: the sick = Jesper; there are many kinds of sickness, and both were grisha in hiding with their father after their mother's death
Vladimir: the drowned, unlikely achievement = Kaz, birthed (...) in the harbour, emerged to repeatedly achieve the impossible
