(Spoilers for RTTE) It frustrated me how there was never a canon explanation for why Dagur sent Heather adrift as kids. I don't think it was done with malicious intent. My reason for this is how much Dagur holds grudges. If he had hated her, then he probably would have continued to hate her up until turning good; however, as soon as he found out who she was, he didn't care that the reason she was even there to begin with was literally to kill him. He just wanted her back in his life. Something I also thought was interesting was how he was shown to be able to love others even before becoming a better person. As a villain, he could've viewed Heather as a pawn or a lackey, but he was extremely protective of her and brought her in on his actual plan for the Grimborns. So, no, I don't think he disliked her as a child. That leads me to thinking it's one of two reasons for why he did what he did.
The first is that it was an accident. I don't think Dagur's much older than Heather, so it could have been an instance of two children being left unsupervised and it not going well. Maybe he thought they would have fun on a little boat and then a big wave separated them. Maybe he assumed that she would enjoy getting some time alone to sail. An important part of this too in my opinion is how Dagur doesn't process things like most Vikings, so it could have made sense to him at the time and actually been very dangerous.
The second option is that he did want to send her away, but it was to protect her. This could have been from raiding Vikings or even their own Berserkers like Ansson. If Dagur knew he wasn't a strong enough fighter at the time to beat the older redhead, maybe he thought sending Heather away would keep her from getting hurt as well. Another option is if there was an illness on Berserker Island. Then, sending her odd could have prevented her from contracting it.
I've played around with a lot of these ideas in different stories, but I can never really settle on one. What do you all think?
more silly httyd (*cough* rtte *cough*) headcanons!!
they managed to convince gobber to not tell anyone about the whole "lycanwing" thing with tuff being a lie. they just let people believe he's actually a lycanwing. whenever it's a full moon, the riders act all solemn and twitchy. tuff is nowhere to be seen. if you ask ruff, she just looks at you sadly. gothi and stoick are the only ones who know it's a joke. berk lives in fear. the truth only comes out roughly a year or so later, when they forget it's a full moon and everyone's just like, "oh."
they regularly have prank wars. there are alliances, betrayals, double-agents, everything of the sort. don't tell fishlegs anything; he's a blabbermouth. don't trust astrid; she will use this prank against you. if you go after hiccup, the revenge will be 10x worse. the twins are not against using violence. stoick banned their prank wars on berk. now, they go to a random island to go completely savage.
once, in an extremely sleep-deprived state, snotlout made a "your mum" joke to hiccup. before they knew she was alive. hiccup now brings it up whenever he needs to win an argument.
they use chicken, her babies, and the dragons to make weird, soap opera-esque performances. they get very creative.
they've all tried to learn gothi's stick language. the results vary. hiccup is fluent in it. fishlegs can understand most, but not all of the symbols. after that, it's ruffnut and tuffnut. snotlout and astrid can't understand it at all. languages are not their thing.
when they get drunk, it gets pretty weird. fishlegs is a paranoid drunk. snotlout cries, as does tuff. astrid gets unreasonably angry. hiccup tries - and fails - to complete stunts he's never attempted before. (thankfully, toothless doesn't allow this. he made that mistake once. never again.) ruffnut just flirts with people.
ruff has SO MUCH rizz. like, an ungodly amount of it. she pulls so many bitches (especially the wing maidens, cough cough).
the twins helped hiccup with making the dragon blade explode. many tests were conducted, and much property damage occured. eventually, they had to just move to an uninhabited island (aka prankster's isle) in order to test it properly.
Hiccup and Dagur is a very good ship but like. it's almost TOO easy to read Dagur's behavior as a big crush. my controversial opinion is that their dynamic is 100x funnier if it's read as completely platonic. like, not even familial-but-we're-calling-it-platonic. literally just Very Normal Friends
one my absolutely favorite things about Hiccup is that he’s so supportive of his friends, like even when the twins or Snotlout didn’t mean to give a good suggestion, he’s always praising them for it. He’s always the first/or only one to worry when one of them goes missing. He understands Snotlout inferiority complex, he finds ways in battle to let the twins be destructive in healthy ways, he nerds out with Fishlegs, always makes sure Heather know she’s welcome, is fully prepared to just be friends with Astrid if that’s what she wants, he just loves his friends so goddamn much and it makes so happy.
