This Is A "little Doodle Version Of Astrid That Jumps Out From A Pile Of Skulls And Throws An Axe In

The death grip this man has on me

Sometimes I look at art and think "I'm definitely coming back later to look at this." And this just happens to be one of those arts

‘There he acknowledged the wild applause with solemn bows to the right and left, slightly spoiling his dignity with the odd “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” of smug self congratulation.’

YAY ive finished reading book 1!! i had so much fun reading it

I’ve just started reading book 2 but this time ill take my time cause i actually don’t want to finish reading it so soon lmao😭😭

anyways hope you guys like this toothless and hiccup drawing i made, have a great day!

I think one of my favourite details in the son of Neptune is the fact that oercy just carries a lighter with him

Throwback to the time my dad got out of jaw surgery and we went to pick him up and he had this orangey yellow stuff around his mouth and I asked him what it was and he said it was piss

ok ok wait have you listened to the audiobooks? cause they’re awesome. also do you have a favourite hhtyd book + why?

I absolutely adore how to speak dragonese because I love Camicazi's introduction to the story and I think the plot and dialogue was great. I also loved the audiobook for how to speak dragonese because I think Hiccup's dialogue was voiced and acted out perfectly

AAAAHHHH I CAN’T BELIEVE I JUST NOTICED THIS, BUT AT THE END OF HTTYD WHEN EVERYONE WAS GOING TOWARDS HICCUP BECAUSE HE FINALLY WOKE UP, HICCUP WAS LIMPING AND STOICK SAW AND HE HELPED HOLD HICCUP UP TO WALK AND I JUST AJKDFLSJSL

AND IDK IF YOU CAN SEE IT, BUT HICCUP HAS A REALLY BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. UGH JUST STAB ME IN THE HEART. IT’LL HURT LESS

I love this.

Hello! I really really love your art (and honestly your whole vibe is impeccable. You're my favourite person to see on my dash). I know you don't take requests or anything but I am so enamoured by your drawings of Stoik and Valhallarama and I was wondering if you ever wanted to draw them with baby Hiccup? Or maybe them reacting to the Naming Dame giving him the runt name if you want to add a bit of angst.

Anyway, have a wonderful day!!!

<3

Thank you so much for such a kind message!!

I adore drawing these two, even when they’ve just been handed some pretty stressful news.

One thing that I wished they kept throughout the franchise was Hiccup being the smallest Viking. I wish they kept him scrawny and stringy and shorter than Astrid and the rest of the gang.

Hiccup was ostracised by his entire community for many reasons, one being his weak build and small stature.

Snotlout may be shorter than Hiccup in the movies, but he's got bigger muscles and puffs himself up. He makes up for it by acting like a proper Viking, being loud and obnoxious and always ready to start a fight - that and he can actually lift a weapon.

The name Hiccup is meant to mean small and frail - the runt of a litter or the black sheep. I want Hiccup to be the absolute epitome yet antithesis of his name. I want Hiccup to be small and unassuming and shorter than the rest. But I also want him to be Great. I want him to be brave and stubborn and hard to kill. Awkward and sarcastic at the worst of times but still kind and friendly and always dependable.

I want him to be everything a Viking is and isn't. I want him to be a peacekeeper and a warrior, an adventurer and an inventor, the son of the chief and the hiccup of his tribe. Someone who can't wield the same weapons as his tribesmen so he makes his own. Someone who wants to uphold the traditions and culture of his people yet always thinks outside of the box. The representation of this new age that's fast approaching, the line in the middle where old and new clash.

I want Hiccup to dress like a Viking, talk like a Viking, eat, sleep and walk like a Viking yet be the very last thing anyone ever thinks of when they think of a Viking. And most of all I want there to be absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I wish they hadn't made him tall and appealing in the end. I wish they'd kept him the way he was. A Viking born too early and too weak in the middle of one of the harshest winters ever experienced by the barbaric archipelago. A Viking who beat the odds and survived. He's braved every terrible winter since his birth and lives in a place where it snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. He can endure bone-freezing chills and frozen oceans but never fails to catch the common cold. He's always been a bit sickly, ever since he was a child, but he always bounces back. He's got scars and a missing leg and his hands are filled with callouses, cuts and burns, but he's soft-spoken and loves to read and never skips a meal yet can never seem to get any bigger.

I wish they could have kept Hiccup the way he was. I wish they didn't have to change him in order to have him become a worthy hero.

I wish the entire village could look at their little runt of a chief and still crack jokes about his long-overdue growth spurt. I want them to look at him and be filled with pride, cause despite the fact that he hasn't grown an inch since he was sixteen, there isn't a single person on Berk who can look at him without seeing just how far he's come.

Do you guys this that somewhere in the world there's probably someone who loved the httyd books so much they actually got the dragon mark tatooed on their forehead?

Some photos from my camera roll that make me happy
