can we talk ab how almost everybody decided to be a part of hiccup's family?
Snotlout? already was his cousin
The twins? Adopted him as their older brother (the fic honorary sibling made by @dragonnnfly may or may not have smth to do with that statement)
Astrid? Literally married him
Dagur and Heather? Adopted him as their younger brother
Fishlegs? Is his more-like-a-brother best friend
toothless? don't even need an explanation

pretty sure that Ruff has so many love interests in the HTTYD movies and is so confident and wtv because it's funny bc she's not 'conventionally attractive' or wtv, but jokes on them I actually love her, I WISH I was eret son of eret
also the shows did so good fleshing out her personality and treating her like a person (and while kinda forced and random,,, her few romantic moments with fishlegs don't make her feel like a joke)
this is just one more argument for the shows treating the gang more like people than the movies
it's cool if they're comedic relief in the movies, I get that they don't have time for all four of them to be characters, but if they were treated more like people and less like a quirky backdrop for Hiccup I feel like they would've been funnier
the twins aren't taken seriously by the SHOWS the majority of the time, but they are considerably funnier when handled by the shows and because of the scenes where they ARE treated seriously,,, in my opinion at least

the thing I love the most about the gang is that they're all just. different fonts of Nerd. like all of them never even CONSIDERED the other possibility of just. NOT making their lives about dragons. in fact they decided to move to their very own island to do exactly that.

See? Ruff and Tuff really aren't so bad when you get to know them!
Ruff uses she/her and Tuff uses she/they, Xena Gnash uses she/her, Axel Graves uses she/they/it, Rattle McBones uses they/them, and Count Batula uses she/he.

Spitelout: It's not water.
Snotlout: Vodka, I like your style!
Spitelout: It's vinegar.
Snotlout: Wh-Wha-
Spitelout: It's vinegar, COWARD.

Nothing To See Here, Just Some Thorston Twins HCs
1. Even though Ruffnut calls Tuffnut her “baby brother” when he faked his own death, I like to believe they take turns being the first-born. Imagine they were born into chaos, where their mother passes out before she can see the birthing order and the only mid-wife dies of a heart attack while she’s still out cold. Literally no one in the world knows which of them was born first.
2. Their family loves to gamble, to the point that the Thorstons were known as the richest clan of Berk for two weeks and then lost everything the following day. This is how the twins adopted the mindset of “if you feel lucky, go for it” in everything they do. If they fail, they might win later anyway.
3. Technically, they have a secret language between themselves. But Ruffnut likes to make a bunch of random-ass noises to confuse everyone around her, and Tuffnut is still working on deciphering what his sister tries to communicate to him.
4. They’re the best at distractions on missions, whether as live bait or utilizing their expertise on explosions. They’re the worst at interrogation, however, as they often forget what questions they were supposed to ask. On several occasions, it devolved into Tuffnut breaking down into an existential crisis while Ruffnut used the torture devices on herself out of boredom.
5. They tie for being the second youngest out of the Dragon Riders. I don’t know why, exactly, but I like the idea that everyone’s birth order is Snotlout, Astrid, Hiccup, Ruff/Tuff, and Fishlegs. It just feels right, you know?
6. The first time they were ever separated for a day was when they were six years old. Ruffnut was sick and Tuffnut was forced to attend school alone. By lunch, he’d convinced himself that Ruffnut was just an imaginary friend who disappeared forever because he grew out of it, and screamed bloody murder when he returned home to find her sleeping in their shared bed. If he gets delirious enough, he’ll go back to thinking his sister is an apparition.
7. Ruffnut has a bucket list solely dedicated to pranks, which includes selling her cousin, Gruffnut, to pirates. She once bonded with Fishlegs over an interest in the expansive flora around Berk, only for him to learn that she used his own knowledge of toxic berries to poison him at dinner that very night. She’s never been trusted to forage for food by herself ever since.
8. Tuffnut has secretly threatened, either directly or indirectly, every boy his sister has so much as implied to have a crush on. At one point, Snotlout found him about to cave in a fisherman’s skull with a mace because a twelve-year-old Ruffnut said he was “kind of cute.”
