Can we just talk about the parallels between Hiccup and Termagant in book 10. The epilogue where Termagant is described as being separated from Fishlegs by a wall of glass, and she presses her hand against it and wills him to live and breathe again.
How earlier Hiccup had found Fishlegs in a pillar of glass, and they pressed their heads together, before Hiccup broke him out, helping Fishlegs to live and breathe again.
HICCUP AND TERMAGANT BEING COMPARED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM IDENTICALLY IMPORTANT TO FISHLEGS!!! I AM THROWIMG MYSELF INTO THE SEA!!!!!!
This reminds me of the part in book 11 when Camicazi says she's in need of exercise and Fishlegs says "this is not some Viking version of girls get fit" idk if girls get fit is a show or one of those dumbass weight loss DVDs for 7 year olds or just some random yoga class but it feels a little future reference to me.
Flipping through book 1 again and discovering

Thinking about how Hiccup in the movies is a total mamas boy who grew up without a mama
After I made this post I realised I completely forgot Fred from Scooby Doo
Sometimes you just need a character that has the words 'white guy' as a part of their character arc
What was the best book in your opinion?
please please down on my knees does anyone want to talk about the httyd books everyone ik is getting sick of me talking to them about it omg
Sometimes it feels like Tuffnut is just there to keep the same ludicrous energy the books had and I absolutely love him for it
Just got back from a holiday in Brisbane. We went to Australia zoo and saw Robert Irwin do the croc show π

I think this is THE httyd book drawing
yes this is βthe trio hold handsβ propaganda what if it
I sobbed when I finished the books because it meant I could never read them for the first time again and be excited and shocked by all the plot twists
i think itβs so funny whenever i see someone on the httyd books tag asking βhey guys do u think i should read the series ?? i heard itβs different from the filmβ¦ is it worth it ???β andβ¦ well yes! the answer will always be yes β if u needed a sign to read the series itβs this post i promise that book hiccupβs journey to his destiny will fundamentally change something forever in ur brain chemistry
I feel kinda bad for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II.
Imagine being a baby and having someone decide you're worthless before you can even prove to be something of importance. Being a baby on a cold mountainside just sitting in a basket in the snow with the fate of freezing to death, starving or being eaten by dragons.
And then when his dad finally does find him and take him back he's kind of outcasted from society cus he considers himself a dragon. He was raised to behave like a wild animal and speak Dragonese and then he was put in a society he'd never been apart of, a d kicked out and shamed the moment he entered it. And then not understanding what's going on or what he's meant to do because he's never been in that environment before.
And then having a brother so cruel that he tolled his father he was planning to kill him. Then his father murdered him for the sake of keeping the throne and only then did he realise he was an awful person because he killed his son even though his son was just trying to do the right thing.
I think Fishlegs parallels pretty well with Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II because Fishlegs was also kicked from his tribe and then when he finally came back he didn't understand that he wasn't welcome anymore. Not to mention he was raised by himself as an orphan, sent out to sea to drown as a literal infant, raised in an unaccepting, unbearable environment where he was mistreated so much he isolated himself in his hut for the first 10 years of his life.
Confession but I like Windwaljer better than Toothless as a companion. Like, Toothless is better in the sense that he's a lot funnier and witty but Windwalker just gives off that same loyal cozy vibe as a horse shaped dog.
The episode 'Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man' is basically just the entire plot of the books.
Hamish the second (movie version of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the second) was a Hiccup and left the treasure with a bunch of riddles and puzzles and when Hiccup found the treasure there was a not that said "Only a Hiccup could get this far." Which resulted in Hiccup being more accepted by his father and the people around him and being remembered for being his own person and not the idea of the perfect ideal heir to the throne of Berk.
There were a lot of differences like, it took Hiccup 4 years to become king of the wilderwest and 3 years to get people to follow him in the fight against Alvin to do good and the treasure in the books was hidden by Grimbeard in honour of his son rather than the other way around, but it's still very much the same premise of Hiccup discovering that being a runt isn't necessarily bad and being a funky little guy is actually a really good thing.
Also, the episode where they go to Vaneheim and get stuck because of the sentinels is like in book 2 when they go ti wherever and have to fight blind and deaf dragons with an incredibly advanced sense of smell and brutal killing methods
Rewatching Heather Report, Part 1, for the first time since starting on the Httyd books has made me realize just how similar Heather's first appearance is to Alvin's in the books.
Heather was "shipwrecked", much like how Alvin was found in a coffin at sea, both have a sea-related introduction.
Heather is trying to be friendly with Hiccup and friends, because she wants something from Berk. Alvin was trying to be friendly with Hiccup and his tribe, because he wanted something from Berk.
Heather got closer to Hiccup by helping him with his forging. Alvin got closer to Hiccup by helping him with something.
Heather worked for the Outcasts. Alvin worked for the Outcasts.
Astrid was almost immediately suspicious of Heather, she tried to warn Hiccup. Toothless was immediately suspicious of Alvin, he tried to warn Hiccup.
Heather mostly succeeded in her mission. Alvin almost succeeded in his mission.
The tv-shows are probably the closest to the books than the movieverse has ever gotten.
Hi!!! May I request some hiccstrid?
(I absolutely adore your art <3)
sorry this probably isn't as romantic as you wanted but it IS the vibe this week sksksk
thank you for the request!! <3
One time I showed this to my friends and said "literally us" and then my friend pointed to Hiccup and said "the skinny autistic twink in the middle is me" so I punched him in the arm for stealing my identity
None of yall like Hiccup the way I like Hiccup, like, I like him the most because he's literally mine, he was made specifically based off of me, I'm literally him, he's me, yall just don't get it
This reminded me of this picture I have, I unfortunately don't remember the original artist/poster but its a very accurate description of my thoughts on the loss of our beloved dollar menu
idk how anyone can look at how expensive fast food has gotten and think we're doing okay
Listen I'm actually rooting for normalizing platonic relationships between men but then again it's not my fault that all of them are written like they fuck so
Me with Ur art
Iβm getting more confident with drawing him methinks
I can infact confirm that book Hiccup is a little skrunkly wet cat and movie Hiccup doesn't know what a HD is but his doctor said he has 80 of them, observe in this image.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third most neurodivergent character ever i am just so correct
This kid took a class to learn how to keep people off his land where he should know dang well by now that heβs supposed to yell at them and yet his first thought is always βoh I know this language here let me speak it :3β
He was terrible at writing and dexterity and everything for about ten years of his life and didnβt once consider that he was actually left handed he just thought he sucked.
When a dragon the size of a mountain washed up on his shores threatening to eat everyone he loved, he didnβt once consider hurting it. He instead decided to give it a sensory nightmare by pouring feathers in its nose to stress it out.
This is all just Book!Hiccup but donβt think Movie!Hiccup is free from this title

Thinking about how Hiccup and Wish would get along so well if they ever met and Camicazi and Xar would go rob rich people together and Fishlegs and Bodkin can just sit and talk
A family can be mountain-sized warrior parents and their twiggy little scholar son
this is fuckin hilarious.
"kid got recked. Oops."
