I like how the first 10 httyd books are centred around a certain lost thing and how Hiccup managed to get it and use it in situations of need.
Like in book 1 it was Toothless (the fang free dragon)
In book 2 it was the Endeavour (the second best sword)
In book 3 it was the Roman shield
In book 4 it was the arrow from the land that doesn't exist
In book 5 it was the ruby heart stone
In book 6 it was the key that unlocks all locks (I think??? I haven't read it in a while so I don't entirely remember so please correct me if I'm wrong)
In book 7 it was the ticking thing
In book 8 it was the throne
In book 9 it was the crown
And in book 10 it was the dragon jewel
But the fact that each book is about a different lost thing and shows why they were needed is great. Hiccup needed the fang free dragon to crack open the lobster claw necklace, then he needed the sword to fight Alvin, then he needed the Roman shield to cover that hole in the cave so they could hide from the dragon rebellion in book 9, then he needed the arrow to make him immune to vorpent venom. It's all so cool and I love these books so much.
Anyone else ever think about their special interest and just start violently stimming or is that just me because I swear if someone asks me about the httyd books and then gets weirded out when I start flapping my hands and kicking my feet then I swear to God I'm gonna lose it
I have so many art ideas but I can't put pen to paper and do it so tloz artists please hear my prayers a f use these drawing ideas
-Link kicking, screaming, crying while Rauru's magic hand drags him away from where Zelda vanished. Either because he knows he's gonna miss her, he knows he failed his job to keep her safe, he's angry he can't help her, he's terrified he'll have to do it all over again, I don't care, I just wanna see him cry over Zelda.
-Link ugly crying in general. I want to see him suffer. I wanna be able to hear him crying through the image.
-Peaceful Constructs making food and gossiping
-Link falling asleep on his horse
-The 2 kids from the Dueling Peaks stable playing hide and seek
-Zelda and Link eating dinner together. Cause we all know she moved in with him after botw.
-All the Zeldas gossiping and all the Links kicking the shit out of eachother to see who wins (Windwaker obvi)
-Link humming to the Mipha statue
watched a compilation of Hiccup waving his hands around
Hiccup: Last night I was crying while listening to Spotify and the wii sports tennis theme started playing so I just cried harder.
Fishlegs: Are you okay mentally?
Hiccup: Gods no.
These get more and more off base everytime
The bit where Hiccup jumped in the barrel and went into the water with the shark worms to keep Camicazi and Fishlegs safe??
I'm so stumped on the next Doomsday prompt, I literally have no ideas. Like, the prompt is 'Safety'?? THERE IS NO SAFETY IN THESE BOOKS!! They're about this huge war between VIKINGS and DRAGONS, for pity's sake! Hiccup almost gets eaten in every single book, and we wont even go into all the stuff that actually DOES get eaten. I just... man, I don't know.
Made a httyd oc because at this point I just had to
the gang over on discord had seemed to like this so im bringin it here several months later
