John Powell you are so cruel for 4:24-5:26 in As Long As He's Safe. What the actual fuck.
Tumblr media
#in this scene Hiccup says goodbye to Toothless and lets him go free to lead all the dragons and this parallels the scene in HTTYD 2 of#Hiccup ''finding'' Toothless and telling him how much he loves and appreciates him as Hiccup frees Toothless from Drago to save#their home and all of the dragons. 4:47-5:26 of ''As Long As He's Safe'' is specifically a repeat of 1:28-1:51 in ''Toothless Found''#and it just absolutely fucking kills me I can't even emphasize how much emotional damage I get from this 1:28-1:51 of#''Toothless Found'' is my favorite part and the strongest you hear the main thematic melody of HTTYD 2#there's another part from 00:42-00:57 that is the same melody that also reflects HTTYD 2 where Hiccup is taken off of Toothless#and Toothless falls into the icy ocean trying to desperately get back to save Hiccup#This plays in 2:12-2:44 of ''Toothless Lost'' and in the HTTYD:THW scene where Hiccup sacrifices himself and falls off of the Light Fury#so that she can save Toothless#so that's just another parallel where John Powell mercilessly ripped my heart out 👍👍👍👍#I could seriously write an entire essay for the parallels of ''Toothless Found'' and ''As Long As He's Safe'' and cry like a little baby#I've said it once and I'll say it again ''Toothless Found'' is my favorite soundtrack piece in the entire world and more people need to-#appreciate the HTTYD 2 and HTTYD:THW soundtracks they are as equally good as the first once and each one incorporates the-#other main melodic themes of the others and it's just so incredible and emotional to hear#I'm in a music mood tonight if you couldn't tell#John powell#httyd thw soundtrack#httyd thw#httyd soundtrack

4, 10, and 16 for the HTTYD asks?
4. What is your favourite type of dragon and why?
Toothless, of course. Because I love him. The duality of man, er, dragon. He can be SUPER CUTE!!!!!!! He also can literally destroy stuff.
10. What are your favourite songs from the soundtracks?
Test Drive
Forbidden Friendship
Romantic Flight
Jónsi's Where No One Goes is 💞💞💞💞.
Dragon Racing
Toothless Lost / Toothless Found
Haven't listened to the THW enough to have an opinion on the music. Whoops.
And then there's various little bits of music from RTTE that I love.
16. What is your favourite plot arc?
Mmm. I'm just gonna say RTTE as a whole.
HTTYD Ask Game

BRO i havent even seen the third httyd movie n i do Not think I am after I've read the stuff in ur salt tag- How do they take a story about friendship- n ruin it just- so much. What the /fuck/ did they do to toothless- Why the hell does hiccup act like that- I'm so mad. Also the more I look at the light fury design the more i fucking hate it- why does she look like that- Why is she fucking covered in GLITTER- Screw tht movie- the first n 2nd r the only ones tht exist.
I'm not sure if you've seen the film since you sent this (this ask is like a year+ old whoops), but yeah I'd say if you generally agree with the posts in my salt and/or criticism tags then you probably won't like it too much lol. Might still be worth it to watch it at least once though to get the full context for everything, and there are a couple nice things in it that even most people like myself who hate the film like to some extent - such as the soundtrack, certain visuals, and the non-Fury dragon species that are introduced.
But yes it's been almost four years and I still despise this film and what it did to Hiccup and Toothless' friendship and just what it did to Toothless in general really, and I still think the Light Fury's design is awful. In my take on the HTTYDverse most of THW is definitely NOT canon.

9, 10, and 14 for the ask game!
Ask me stuff
9. Which characters do you identify with the most?
Hmmm... when looking at all of these questions, I think this was one of the few I don't think I have an answer for, seeing as I'm not a kinnie or find much solace in comparing myself to characters. If anything, though rarely, I find that in OCs, not canon characters.
I did file through a few in my head, though. Snotlout, Hiccup, Astrid, Dagur, Heather... Fishlegs...
I just don't see myself as a binary individual in terms of using these characters as categories. I'm a geek like Fishlegs, sarcastic and fishbony like Hiccup, weird like Tuffnut and Dagur, minutely hotheaded or stubborn like Astrid or Heather... list goes on, and I've always found the notion of being "exactly like a character" to be quite finicky.
Honestly, imma just say Ruffnut or Tuffnut and run.
Even if in reality I'm just what you'd get if Riley's Mom from Pixar and that one guy from Excursia had a lovechild. It's not so purdy.
10. What are your favourite songs from the soundtracks?
Well, according to my Spotify stats, Flying With Mother and With Love Comes a Great Waterfall are my top ones, but I can only call the former one of my favourites. (Surprisingly, the latter was used on repeat for part of a TMNT 2014 shortfic back when my TMNT blog was still active, lol -- I still have the playlist for it, too. One would never expect Eminem, Gwen Stefani, John Powell, and System of a Down to be in the same playlist, but it is, and if you read the fic you'd understand. Fortunately, the blog is long since deactivated. Yippee.)
As for the rest of my favourites (I'm looking at this playlist, as I use it for HTTYD "vibes", so to speak, as well as my revisit to my Wattpad days for the incomplete 200k+ word HTTYD fic's [unpublished] rewrite, which is always nostalgic AF), I'd have to say:
See You Tomorrow
This Is Berk
New Tail
Dragon Racing
Toothless Found
Together We Map The World
Where No One Goes
For The Dancing And The Dreaming
Hiccup The Chief / Drago's Coming
I suppose, however, if I had to narrow it down, it'd be:
Flying With Mother
See You Tomorrow
New Tail
This Is Berk
Where No One Goes
And Together We Map The World would be a close contender for its gentleness.
(Controversially, while I do like and appreciate them, Forbidden Friendship and Romantic Flight and one of my least favourites... but still miles ahead from most of the score from THW. The only exceptions to me would be Third Date and With Love Comes a Great Waterfall. Together From Afar just makes me fucking cry.
But none can compare to the monstrosity that is Into a Fantasy by Alexander Rybek. Good god.)
14. Which part of the franchise has your favourite animation style?
Definitely not THW -- it's far too warm and flashy, the complete opposite to the other films.
Admittedly, I grew up on ROB/DOB and never saw the first film until a few years later, so the darker blonde of Astrid and the twins' hair and the sudden wiry furs in lieu of flat, dull leathers was a surprise.
The ROB/DOB style is probably the most nostalgic for me. RTTE's is just way too uncanny for my liking (the RTTE-exclusive dragon designs are also plasticy garbage), and I remember when my mother first bought the second film on DVD for me I didn't like the designs... but they grew on me, and now animation style makes sense.
But as for my favourite... it has to be the first film. It's the original, it contains aspects of ROB/DOB, it's seeped in nostalgia, cool-toned, and the dragons -- unlike the shows -- have all their correct colourings! Great.

HTTYD: THW SPOILERS AHEAD
Ok so I love this movie and I have so many things to say about it. I’m not a person of many words but I want to talk about is something I’m a huge nerd for. The music. I am such a nerd for the music and honestly I’ve heard the sound track for HTTYD and HTTYD2 so many times it’s crazy. Now I’m not a music expert this is just my take on what I’ve been able to hear.
1- Raiders Return to Busy Busy Berk: I was a little sad (bittersweet) that the movie didn’t immediately start with ‘This is Berk’. Right well, it might’ve not started right away but it’s there. And when you actually hear it it’s so busy, you can only barely hear the original tone which goes beautifully with how busy Berk looks. I thought it was great. Also I enjoyed the usual Hiccup narrative being part of the script now and not just as a third person narration.
2- Legend Has It/ Cliffside Playtime: after the flashback the song that starts when the Hiccup opens up the map is immediately ‘Together We Map the World’ which immediately gave me the again bittersweet feel of seeing Hiccup open a map for his people and dragons and not just for his own enjoyment. Oh baby how he’s grown in just a year. Then Astrid shows up and then when they start playing around (my shipping heart cannot) what plays is a soft version of ‘Romantic Flight’. Just a detail I though it was sweet.
3-Toothless: Smitten: there’s a bit in this song where you can hear ‘Downed Dragon’ which, to me, should’ve been a clue about how the Light Fury (side rant: SHE NEEDS A NAME) was actually shot/ drugged down.
4-New New Tail: as soon as I saw the title of the song I knew I was gonna cry. I was kind of sad the first part of the song (where he’s building the tail) wasn’t the focus of this song but it was so sweet to hear the flight excitement when Hiccup/Toothless fly vs. when Toothless is flying alone.
5- Killer Dragons: I heard in this song a bit of ‘Dragon Battle’ as well as ‘The Dragon Book’ as weird as is sounds but I noticed that usually plays when there’s a new kind of dragon. In this case it was playing when Grimwald and Hiccup were talking about the drugged dragons.
6- With Love Comes a Great Waterfall: one of the things I loved about the HTTYD2 soundtrack was the usage of vocals to create this more of a ~grandeur~ effect. I honestly doubted that John Powell could create an even bigger effect but he managed it so perfectly. To me, it creates this great wow effect that makes me feel so overwhelmed.
7- The Hidden World: one thing I will say, I’m not so satisfied with the Jonsi vocals. But that’s okay because this is something I want to add. The part where Toothless makes his appearance as the mated Alpha the music that plays, the theme to the Hidden World, plays all throughout the soundtrack, more specifically every time the Hidden World is mentioned. Like for example when marriage (refer to point #2) and when the Light Fury comes up the theme plays. This to me was foreshadowing to what was going to happen at the end. And it not just used to show how Toothless moves on to a higher role, but also how Hiccup moves on. Marriage is a way to keep moving forward and that’s why it plays during song #2.
8- Armada Battle: this song was honestly beautiful. The beginning where the music is ‘The Downed Dragon’ and the more hopeful part of ‘Stoick’s Ship’ which is beautiful because it shows both Hiccups’s helplessness and his hope for what is to come, his decision to not allow a bad person to take the dragons away. The throwback to the ‘This is Berk’ where Hiccup sees Astrid in the first movie and how they gave each other the BedroomEyes™ I cried. There was also part of ‘Toothless Lost’ in the part where Valka, Gobber, and Erer show up. Mainly it’s what plays when Hiccup fist sees Valka and yeah it kind of hurt. Also the part where Hiccup goes to save both the Furries is all ‘Kill Ring’ and this one I remember well because of the great music of it. I can’t really see a connection with that one but it’s so obvious it just kinda stuck out to me.
9- As Long As He’s Safe: I was kinda pissed at Hiccup for this part of the movie because how dare you worry me like that you self sacrificing asshole but hearing the last bit of it- ‘Test Drive’ i believe- was heartwarming to see with Hiccup/Light Fury.
10- Once There Were Dragons: this song. Just this song. It’s my favorite of the whole soundtrack. The chorus that starts playing is the same one that has been playing throughout the whole movie (the one I mentioned referring to the future? that one.) you have the buildup to the ceremony with honestly wonderful vocals. Then you have the soft piano to the tune of ‘This is Berk’ from HTTYD when the scene changes to after the time skip. To me this is a way of saying “this is what Berk has become. With her mighty Chief and Cheftess as well as their Heirs.” Then again the theme for Hidden World begins to play when Toothless shows up (AND THE NIGHT LIGHTS I SWEAR TO GOD JUST THE NAME KILLS ME). When the Hiccup and Toothless finally reunite it’s to the tone of the beginning of ‘Forbidden Friendship’ (my all time favorite song of all) and then Zephyr and Nuffink get close to Toothless and that soft part of the song plays and suddenly we’re seeing Hiccup befriend Toothless all over again. Immediately afterwards we have ‘Test Drive’ playing and it’s essentially the best thing in the world. Because it’s nostalgic. Hiccup and Toothless flying together again like they had done for the first time 15 years ago. But now it’s not just them. Now it’s Hiccup and Toothless and Astrid and Stormfly and all their children. And ending it in that same beautiful note from ‘Coming Back Around’ like in the first movie left me so satisfied with the entire trilogy.
Personally, I think John Powell was a genius to incorporate all of these bits and pieces into his final work. The first time I watched the movie, I only heard those throwback bits. The second time around and then listening to the soundtrack, I can hear where there was original work done but also the fluidity that the music has even when incorporating past works. Now I know this is nothing new. In movies, shows, and video games it’s so common to have character themes as well as music for certain locations or groups. But the way John Powell did it was nothing like I had ever heard before. Maybe it’s juat because I hear them so often of because I relate the feelings in the certain scenes to the music but honestly? The music made the movie ~complete~ to me. It added in just enough from mainly the first HTTYD that I’m left feeling the same elation I felt with the first movie as well as the satisfaction or hearing something new.
But like I said I’m no expert and these soundtracks just make me emotional. HTTYD took me an a beautiful journey and ended it in a such I way it’s not an awful heartbreak to say goodbye.

For the character ask meme: Hiccup from HTTYD? Also why is Tony Hale DNI in ur bio
hi anon!! thanks for playing the ask game. now let's see....
a song that reminds me of them: idk, any of the songs from the movie credits, and some of the soundtrack as well (sidenote: the httyd trilogy soundtrack never has a bad track, it's the most bomb ass ost ever (with the notable exception of into the spiderverse))
what they smell like: um..... i guess hiccup would smell like leather & metal & whatever he polishes toothless' saddle with, i have literally never thought about this before so idk, but he could smell like a lot of things!!
otp: HicStrid obviously (i love Them.... like every scene they're in im like 😢😢)
notp: nothing in particular, idk who people ship him with besides astrid
favorite platonic relationship: ok i love him & stoick like..... i Love.... especially in thw when stoick is telling baby hiccup about the legend of the Hidden World.... their energy is unmatched (also i unironically like hiccup's friendship w/ the twins bc it's just stupid fun & shenanigans)
a popular headcanon you disagree with: uh???? idk which headcanons are Popular but im gonna take this moment to get on my soapbox & say that the way some of y'all disrespect the light fury & shit on her & toothless' relationship is not kind & you need to stop. they're cute, ok?? that's not wrong.
the position they sleep in: idk but i feel like hiccup sleeps like a starfish (also: he is the little spoon i will not take criticism)
a crossover au i'd love to see them in: again idk, but i think it would be really cool if there was a httyd & wings of fire crossover.... it would be absolute chaos but it would be AWESOME
my favorite outfit they've worn: i like hiccup's flight suit but i have a soft spot for his outfit in the first movie
n e way on to the next question: if u didn't know, tony hale is the executive producer of the mysterious benedict society show, aka The Mysterious Benedict Society & The Disney Mistake, he also plays both mr benedict & mr curtain ("""""dr curtain""""") which, me personally, smacks of nepotism, and also i Do Not Like the show (no hate to the kid actors they're doing amazing, especially lil russian constance) & mr hale seems to be at fault for a lot of the things wrong with it so he Cannot Talk To Me.

TOGETHER FROM AFAR
So I’m sure many of you absolutely died after watching the movie, as did I, and I’m also sure you guys are waiting for an instrumental for the song our king, Jónsi, brought to us. So I’ve been working on my own little take on “Together From Afar” as a way to celebrate the release of the third movie and to say farewell to the series. Here’s a preview!
I know U.S fans won’t have seen it just yet, so I’ve made it a goal to finish it when it comes out for you guys. Hope you enjoy!!
-Ami
