A Hiccup and Toothless edit/animatic with the song Weathervane by Hunter Metts?? Hello????
Absolutely fantastic
But I’m not skilled enough to make either so I have to SUFFER
If somebody ends up making one please please let me know :D
I've already posted about this before, but there is something so intimate and sweet about the riders all living on the Edge for a year.
Before RTTE they've been slowly drifting apart. After the end of Riders and Defenders of Berk Hiccup is still leading searches to the farthest corners of the archipelago with his friends, looking for whatever dragons they haven't discovered yet. One by one they found jobs within the tribe and stopped coming on those expeditions. Eventually, even Astrid finds a different calling.
But when Dagur came back, Hiccup needed them to help stop him. And, somewhat reluctantly, they agreed. They planned on heading out and stopping him, not staying away from Berk. But then Dagur got away and they found the dragon eye.
Hiccup realizes that he's gonna have to spend some time away from Berk exploring and fighting Dagur, and he doesn't want to have to do it alone. And he doesn't have to.
They're all right there with him, just like they used to be in Riders and Defenders of Berk. They're a team again, but they're rusty and they need to learn how to work with each other and fight alongside each other like they used to.
When they find the Edge, it is an empty island. They design it together, and they build it on their own from the ground up.
They build their huts and the stables and the clubhouse from the ground up together, and they make the banners that hang in the common spaces together, and they carve the dragon figures that sit on top of each building together, and they paint the walls of the buildings and landing decks together. Those little details make Dragon's Edge their home.
Over the course of a little over a year, they become a family. They become familiar with everything about each other, from their major traits to the tiniest idiosyncrasies.
They know what time the others wake up, and their favorite foods and colors.
They make breakfast and dinner for each other and they make sure that the dragons are fed and taken care of.
They sleep in the clubhouse some nights just to be together.
They bandage each other's wounds and they always have someone to talk to when they feel lonely.
They know how to read each other's emotions, can tell when it's a bad day for someone, and know how to cheer them up.
They can tell the sounds of their footsteps apart from each other as they make their way down to the clubhouse in the morning.
They see each other before they are fully awake. When their hair is messy and their minds are still foggy.
They stay up late talking and forget to sleep.
They have an endless slew of little inside jokes and know each other's habits intrinsically.
They hear each other humming when they think no one can hear them and have memorized the others' laughs.
They get on each other's nerves and push each other's buttons in the way that only family can.
Because by the end of the year, that's exactly what they are.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK III!!!!!
Horrible pic but ehhh I made it quickly
Camicazi and Stormfly, Hiccup and Toothless, and Fishlegs and Horrorcow! Finally finished tweaking the designs and made the dragons!!
Eret: Where I’m from locking someone in an arena with nothing but a knife, a wooden shield, and an angry monstrous nightmare would be considered a public execution.
Hiccup: skill issues.
Eret: didn’t you almost die?
Hiccup: well I was pretty weak for a 15 year old, someone else could have done it. Probably.
Eret: YOU WERE FIFTEEN!?
Biblically accurate Hiccup
Hics!!
Was feeling out of practice with him so I redrew some screenshots, except for the colored sketch
Thinking about how Hiccup in the movies is a total mamas boy who grew up without a mama
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.
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
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 he’s supposed to yell at them and yet his first thought is always “oh I know this language here let me speak it :3”
He was terrible at writing and dexterity and everything for about ten years of his life and didn’t 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 didn’t 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 don’t think Movie!Hiccup is free from this title
some sketches for book 2!! its mostly me trying to figure out how to draw toothless😭
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!
This is perfect. This is beautiful. I like this a lot.
some hiccups ft. his dragons<3
"There's no such thing as im-POSSIBLE, Hiccup," snorted Old Wrinkly, "only im-PROBABLE. The only thing that limits us are the limits to our imaginations... and I used to think of you as an imaginative boy. Give up, if you want to... but I used to think of you as the sort of boy who would NEVER give up, however bad things looked."
he has no energy and two very insistent boyfriends
I love how hiccup and the woden's fang and the windwalker try so hard to teach Toothless manners only for him to pick a completely random "polite" word to put in front of his normal statements
Saying "please" or "excuse me" or whatever before hurling seething insults is the funniest thing I've ever read
Namesake | How To Train Your Dragon (2010)
So remember that thing I reblogged? Yeah technically, it's not a fic-
(Click for better quality)
100% inspired by Mahogany_Rust's Forever Is My Tomorrow on ao3 by the way, it's great I really recommend it.
Happy Lunar New Year!! 🐉
Tried to redesign the riders to be a little more believable? … as in convincing but not historically accurate? Tried taking the ac:Valhalla approach, I think they look kinda cool (pls ignore hiccup he was my test & I can’t get him to look any better but this is more abt design than polish I guess)
The helmets were kind of a nightmare and irl Viking’s defo wouldn’t wear any of those designs but I wanted it to still feel like their helmets. Snotlout esp needed his horns they’re too cute I’m sorry.
Part 2 of my last post, Toothless is gently telling his human it's time to go home.
This crashed procreate 7 times but I finished it lol <3
This gif
I didn't make it, but it keeps catching my eye because LOOK
The wings perfectly line up with Hiccup
Toothless is going to fly again because of Hiccup, yes, but this is Hiccup's first flight. Unknowingly, he's spreading his wings too.
This moment catapults a whole new direction for Hiccup's life, and he gets to fly because he made it so Toothless could too.
he brought his cane back and his itty bitty Toothless
for some reason I really like drawing dragons in forests
Nuffink: I’m 5, so I get 5 cookies
Hiccup: Nuffink, that’s not really how it works
Tuffnut: *shoving 29 cookies in his mouth*
