People Don’t Understand. I Don’t Find The Hyperfixation, The Hyperfixation Finds Me.

Massive fan of a lot of rtte just being Hiccup giving people unimpressed looks

As much as I tolerate HTTYD 3, I do love ‘Together from afar’ and every piece of the soundtrack. John Powell and Jónsi my love, you made this movie tolerable.

Fuck queerbating. Your favs are canon.

Because of how different the Viking age was to modern day, I love that there’s so many career paths that HTTYD characters would take based on how well it fits with the Viking age careers. Because blacksmiths are very rare now (practically nonexistent) so Hiccup needs a new job. Anyways here’s some of my favorite hobbies/jobs I’ve seen/want modern au Hiccup to maybe have. I’ll only explain some.

Engineering major- inventor

A Digital artist

Architect

Welder

Horseback riding

Human geographer- or geographer in general

Zoology- or more specifically ornithology because hiccup loves studying dragons, why wouldn’t he love to study birds

Cartographer!

A psychics major- because he definitely has to calculate flying dynamics when he’s flying with toothless

A construction worker

Not a job but a hobby, Hiccup absolutely loves DND. This is factual. Argue with the wall.

A sky diving instructor.

Traditional artist who lives off commissions

Idk what job there is for this but traveling the world somehow

Just thought of it- pilot!

If you can think of any more please add them, I want to see how long this list can be. Or add other characters too!

No one talks about how Snotlout is JUST as sassy and sarcastic as Hiccup. Especially in RTTE.

Something I like specifically about Hiccup’s ‘being different’ story is that it actually makes sense.

There’s the cliche of ‘I’m not like everyone else and I get bullied for it’ trope where the character tries to ‘be like everyone else.’ Than discovers that no matter what anyone thinks, they should anyways be themselves. And while that is a good message, it’s not very applicable to certain situations.

Hiccups story is a bit different and I think it works and hit harder than any of those stories.

And it’s for a specific reason.

They don’t take into account the culture of a place.

The reason hiccup is ostracized is not because he’s ’quirky and weird’ (mostly) but because he doesn’t fit the societal beauty standards of his culture. Hiccup is very much culturally a Viking. He’s just tiny. And because of that he doesn’t fit into the mold.

But he doesn’t try to fit in by becoming the strongest or by being an axe wielding master. Hiccup never tries not to be true to himself.

Hiccup never needed to fit in, the village needed to fit him if that makes sense.

Hiccups a Viking in the sense that he’s socially and culturally like them but isn’t able to follow that culture because of his stature.

The outlier of this is the fact is that Hiccup will never have the guts to kill a dragon. This is evident in the first movie as well.

His story is very similar to Luz’s from The Owl House in the sense that they never tried to be something that they weren’t. (They’re also both neurodivergent coded but most characters in both shows are so it’s less about being different because of that)

Not my best analysis but it’s very late and I’m sleep deprived.

I’m writing a princess bride hiccstrid AU and this is very important.

What should the ROUS (rodents of unusual size) be? There are already dragons so I need something quick!

Maybe some type of dragon or something I can’t think of right now.

As much as I love pondering what the httyd cast modern jobs are and what they do or study in college, we are ignoring the REAL question.

Who falls for the classic Nigerian Prince money scam?

Hiccup: Almost does fall for it. He’s smart but way too trusting of people. He would be suspicious but go along until he finds out it’s a scam either from Astrid or the Twins.

Astrid: Would see right through it. End up sending threatening messages back.

Snotlout: Would fall for it. Before he’s scammed, he brags about becoming rich. Afterward, he ignores everyone for 2 weeks.

Fishlegs: Would not fall for it. Politely declines.

Ruffnut + Tuffnut: Would end up convincing the scammer to actually give them the money. Succeeds.

Stoick: Ignores the email.

Gobber: Would fall for it right until giving the credit card info then scold them over email.

Heather: Would personally track the scammer down. Or would ignore it. There’s no in between.

Dagur: Falls for it. He’s threatens the person into giving him the money back. Gets more than what he gave away.

Viggo: Creates an elaborate scheme that ends up with the scammer losing everything they own, including the money that they tried to scam out of him.

Ryker: Ignores the email.

Johann: The scammer.

I’m only on s3 of rtte so if these don’t sound canon, that’s because they probably aren’t.

How I long to see her face now

Her starry, moonlit gaze now

I know she's never late, still anxiously I wait

Patient is the night

Happy Tenth Anniversary to my favorite animated show of all time!

Here's another 3 MILLION alternate versions because i'm that indecisive
