I'm re-reading the HTTYD series again, and, as expected, I'm in love with Thuggory as a character again as well. 😍😭

"I should warn you, Boy-Who-Has-A-Name-I-Once-Loved, that not a speck of that love remains. Not a jot. Not a whisper. One hundred years of captivity has drained every last drop of that love from me, and I am cured forever."

I've been reading the OG How To Train Your Dragon books and oh boy does it wreck you. I took some artistic liberties in drawing him. I think he'd do well with whiskers like a catfish and great fin-like spines.

Ya think for a while after Berserk, after having to speak with a French accent for over a year, Alvin ever tried to talk and instinctively used the accent?

Cause im just imagining him doing it with Excellinor and her being like 'What the actual fuck are you doing'

#never getting over the fact that when in trouble‚ Alvin's first thought was ''Roleplay as a French Chef'' #Like was Alphonse a pre-existing character or was he just doing improv the whole time? #Man should've just been a Pretentious Actor‚ he'd have had a blast #how to train your dragon #httyd books #httyd #how to train your dragon books #alvin the treacherous #httyd book spoilers #<- very vaguely

HTTYD books 1-6: oh, what a charming little kids fantasy series! and a LOT of world building too!! Books 7-9: hey wait WHAT just happened Books 10-12: *deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#it starts to get REAL fucked up at 8 (the witch; impromptu surgery; Furious; etc) but the definite tone shift occurs in 7 #again posts I'd make with images if I had motivation #curio chatter #httyd #httyd books #EDIT: I thought there was thirteen books for some godforsaken reason until someone pointed it out in the tags

The more I think about the Httyd books, the worse they get. I'm so, so sorry fandom. Hiccup deserved so much better than to be King.

As absolutely haunting kids adventures, go for the books, why not, sure!

As a reflection of society, they are the saddest possible version and I can't sign off on them.

something about the way book 10 begins with hiccup being the loneliest he’s ever been. an outcast, a hero on a quest, a wanted boy on both sides of the war. with only three dragons as his closest companions. windwalker, wodensfang and toothless as sole witnesses to his growing up for an entire year - how evident that all three of them tried their absolute hardest to protect and take care of hiccup given the dire circumstances of being on the run.

and something about the way it ends with hiccup's own little ensemble of a group, dubbed as 'the ten companions of the dragonmark' - consisting of his most loved humans and dragons who would now undoubtedly follow him anywhere. finally having the chance to laugh freely and exchange stories and to breathe a little easier, even if just for a moment. and even if worry and guilt seem to weigh heavy on him, the wodensfang is there to remind him of his youth, to 'leave these worries to us old creatures' and that hiccup is no longer alone.

Can I just say if Batman (from DC) met Hiccup (From HTTYD) he would definitely adopt him. Smart malnourished & neglected child sneaking out at night is sending alarm bells ringing through his mind.

#thoughts #prompts #dc x httyd #httyd x dc #batman au #httyd au #Damian has a dragon demon bat thing named Goliath so Bruce wouldn't be too surprised about a dragon or ten #Please with Hiccup's body type is Dick could totally teach him acrobatics and gymnastice #Combine that with his flight gear and dragon riding and that boy is dancing through the skies #Jason: This is my favorite sword but you can pick any other sword to steal and I can give you books on stuff #Cassandra: new baby brother who also doesn't want to kill :) #Tim: I made a mistake in introducing him to coffee but it's too late now #Hiccup is livin his best life #learnin so much stuff

thinking about how Eggingarde has been in the amber slavelands for as long as she can remember. Thinking about how Eggingarde is the only wanderer we see in the amber slavelands. Thinking about how, despite this, Eggingarde has a traditional Wanderer pelt that either fits her or is, perhaps, just a bit too big for her. Thinking about how she knows she is a Northern Wanderer.

So i know i made this post about viking helmets just being the historical equivalent of chihuahua protection vests

And its mostly jokey, tho it could also be true, or at least true enough, as this sort of thing is shown in Book 10 to work

But for an actual more serious idea as to why the viking there wear horned helmets while vikings here do not

I would like to suggest that perhaps its a tradition that dates back to Hiccup the First, and that adding the horns to their helmets was a way of showing their connection with the dragons

(editing my tags into the original post cause i want to lol)

this of course would probably have eventually been twisted into it being a show of their strength and how they were able to control dragons

but the idea of the original hiccup designing helmets to reflect that the dragons are a part of their lives now, like "you have horns and now i have horns, we are connected"

idk its nice

also imagine if you will a hiccup the first modeling the horns after wodensfangs and being so excited to show him and the wodensfang seeing his hiccup reflected back in the helmets of

pretty much every single viking for the rest of his life just a small part of him always being there

anyway

i know the actually reason is just Cressida likes to reference a lot of classical elements in her stories as well as it makes it more visually understandable and recognizable to younger children a.k.a. her target audience lol but coming up with an in universe explanation is fun

Hiccup is telling Fishlegs to shoot him with the arrow that was once stuck in the potato when it was frozen for 15 years! Of course! Because it has potato

essence

on it!

#it says essence #figured it out when i turned the page and saw the drawing of fishlegs holding the bow and arrow #admittedly my first thought was 'what you want someone to shoot you at the doomfang?' #in my defense it's past 1am and i am extremely tired #have been exhausted all week #httyd books #httyd book 4 #how to cheat a dragon's curse #19. the final chapter #liveblog #hiccup horrendous haddock III #fishlegs no-name

The GNCness of hiccup horrendous haddock the III can be so personal actually. Yeah that preteen is a mother what of it.

tried very hard to be normal about httyd book 9 but i just spent the past few hours reading the last third and just kept squirming in my bed thinking how could it possibly get worse for hiccup and then it does and all in all it felt like this
