I HATE BEING AUTISTIC Σヽ(ﾟДﾟ; )ﾉ

Yet another reason to hate the hidden world

In the second movie Valka had eyebags and wrinkles. In the third she looked like a Victoria's secret model

THATS NOT THE SAME PERSON

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.

Unfinished but i drew leo

GUYS I MADE A HICCUP AND CAMICAZI CHARACTER AI GO USE IT

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.

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.

Hell I just want them to actually adapt the ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ books — that biz was EPIC.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again:

You could make a beautiful HTTYD book adaptation through a one-season 2D animated TV show. The charming, childlike whimsy, the quirky dragons, the wonderfully weird world, the epic larger-than-life scenes and characters, all this screams 2D animation as the best adaptation. That would capture the tone, the heart (Cowell's illustrations!!), the imagination. Most books would be a single episode. The last few books would be two. Don't drag the story out, don't bog it down with unnecessary additions, but tell it in precisely the amount of space it needs to be told. Don't try to realism anything. Let the world be itself and let the magic shine.

U guys should give me httyd doodle ideas since I'm gonna go on a plane in like, 2 days and need to keep myself entertained

I told my sister about this and she got mad at me because he's ugly but like, that's the best part 🤷

Confession: when I was 5 my sister would read the httyd books to me and I had the fattest crush on Hiccup

Sometimes you just need a character that has the words 'white guy' as a part of their character arc
