This is so cool!

I bet Viggo would be an English man riding Equestrianism or he'll be a bank robber😅.

Dagur is definitely a bandit that steals from wagons even though he comes from a rich family 😁. That or he's taking care and riding bulls, that would suit him too.

Eret is definitely a Native American enslaved by Drago (branded and possibly forced to have his hair shortened and tied), forced to steal wild horses while his tribe used to protect them and guide them (coming from his original Saami culture where they take care, hoard and help reindeers to migrate).

Honestly I guess it mostly depends on the timeline, if we're talking true wild west with bandits, natives and slavery, OR it's a modern timeline and they actually join western games! That would be so cool. Rodeo, bull riding, possibly Equestrianism performances (classy Viggo), all that kind of stuff. ❤️

Howdy Train Your Dragon??

HEAVILY INSPIRED from @tragisbawls western AU and also I believe that one “Howdy Train Your Dragon” post by @wardenofdragons

please let me know if I’ve made any mistakes in crediting but these guy’s posts were my main inspiration fr

enjoy some WIPs, currently I’m making them for reference so I can draw the gang doing some scenes

might have gone a bit insane over the festive season and fallen head first into this western AU. basically everything is the same but instead of Vikings it’s cowboys! I’m gonna colour these all and want to do more art/drawings of this too bc it has been occupying my thoughts lol

more info 👇

- set in a fictional Old West, similar to how the canon treats Viking lore and accuracy, assume this is the same 😂

- in this AU, Hiccup loses his leg before he meets Toothless in some sort of stampede/horse-related accident, which makes Stoic, the cheif of the town, more protective of him/not want him to go near them

- Hiccup finds Toothless as a wild mustang, trapped in a gorge. Hijinx ensue, Hiccup saves him, and they bond.

-Hiccup and Fishlegs live in the same town. Astrid, Lout, Ruff and Tuff are part of a group of travelling cowboys from out of town or somethin lol. Something happens and Legs and Hic have to travel with them for a bit. Haven’t worked everything out yet but if people have ideas feel free to let me know!

- Ruff and Tuff are in charge of the supplies wagon and they often confuse Barf & Belch with their arguing. The poor horses go in different directions or one of them might stop while the other keeps going 😭

- Meatlug is usually seen pulling a little wagon with extra supplies/Fishlegs rides in the wagon sometimes when they go on adventures so she ends up being the slowest in the group, similar to how she is the slowest of the gang’s dragons

- Hookfang is an Arabian horse and he has a really firey temper and has a similar relationship to Snotlout as in the canon. Snotlout made Hookfang rear up on his hind legs once, but Snotlout fell off and Hookfang left him in the dust 💀

- Astrid is the leader of the cowboys. Stormfly has little braids in her mane as that’s Astrid’s way of showing affection.

(alsomyaskboxisopenifanyonewantstodiscusthisauI AM HAPPY TO YAP-)

I would like to ask Viggo about the Hiccup x Viggo thing, and how he feels about it?

Viggo: Besides the fact that I admire Hiccup in many ways, I'm not a man that would draw someone's attention by hurting him as I have in past. And I'm quite happy with the advisor/friend relationship we have now. But between you and me, I quite enjoy what you people can come up with to make it a story or a fine art that I may witness online. Definitely tickles the mind and body at the time, I give you guys that.

Congratulations the anonymous for being the first ask messager! Thank you!

Eret: Aaww, thank you! That's such an adorable picture of us! And no, I'm actually just found of his smell due my years on the sea and moving around reindeers a lot 😅

Eret: But I like the idea! I might use it as a deodorant so Hiccup and the rest will give me a break from time to time. Or I might use it on twins to show them I'm the greatest prankster 🤩

Eret: I'll have to think about it better. Anyway, thank you again. For both of us, right Slimey?

Can I request Eret with Slimeball from RoB please?Since he likes the smell of his slime for some reason.....

I'm not sure if you drew Cavern crasher already or not.

They are good friends :)

I imagine it's like Snotlout and the Nightmare gel, Eret probably uses it for like hair gel or deodorant or something

Dragon #107 - Slimeball (Rise of Berk) and Eret :]

Eret:.........

Viggo:......

Dagur: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

"finest dragon trapper alive" yeah cuz Viggo's dead

Jörmungard aka Eret's lore we were robbed of

My and @skysiren41 's httyd fic about our beloved ex-trapper.

What is it about?

Ever since he was little, Eret was always scared of the story about giant serpent roaming the seas of the Far north, stories his grandfather told him. Years later after he joined the Berkians, lost his dragon in a war and fell in love, he encounters two of his greatest fears:

The legendary serpent himself and the thought of returning to his land. The one he ran away from.

Now he's facing the consequences of leaving his throne duties, his family and friends and as well reuniting with his roots and remembering what it's like to belong somewhere.

Jörmungard picture:

Yes, those scales were a pain....

How does this differ from the original Httyd?

Stoick lives

Night Furies and Light Furies roam the New Berk

Eret's first dragon was a blue scarred Singetail that he rescued from one of his old traps. He died protecting Eret in a war.

Grimmel did happen but after him Drago showed up again but this time with only the hunters, who secretly planted bunch of dragon roots around the New Berk so the dragons become dangerous and the Berkians are distracted and unprepared for the war.

Viggo is alive (you can't change my mind) and he has his own island, where he nurtures and trains dragons, that he managed to rescue.

Got questions? Ask away!

Dagur: We look so cool! Like Superheroes! Thank you!!

Dagur: Could I request me as Common Hoopoe and Mala as Blue Jay please? Sadly I don't know much about these birds, only when I see the grace of the Blue Jay and punky feather hairdo of the Hoopoe-*hehe silly name*- I think of me my and my love.

What? Dagur, do you really think Hiccup wouldn't like Astrid's bossy attitude in general or even better, behind closed doors? Also what did you do to get such a reaction from Mala?

Dagur: Hiccup? Are you the anonymous?

Dagur: Anyway, Hiccup was bossed around and pushed over his whole life, by myself included. Everyone has its limit and I believe that seeing Hiccup snap at Astrid will definitely hurt both. And I don't want that for them.

Dagur: As for me and Mala? Turns out she wasn't really that angry about me teaching our son throwing daggers in the house. She was actually checking me out in a way I never saw on her before. Turns out she's been trying to learn knitting and wanted to make me a sweater so she was calculating my broadness and height.

Dagur: But she still got me anxious with her snarky comment and how she balanced the knife like she was planning on throwing it at me. She likes to keep me on my toes and honestly, the way she does it is hot.

To: the silly Dagur.

I know you call hiccup “brother” a lot, and after you guys made up, is there a good friendship there? And if something were to happen, where he needed help would you be there?

Dagur: Well duh! Obvi! I'm still pissy about Hiccup not telling us about Drago so we could help! We could make a difference there! And believe me that I told him that. Also made it clear that next time Berk and dragons are in danger, we want to be there.

Eret: Aaawww, you're precious to me too❤️

Eret: Also you have good skills capturing my better photos! I know it's not easy to time me for a good photo where I don't look face twisted or dumb, so I appreciate your talent.

He’s like generally so precious to me
