Once again saw a post venting about Hiccup's character consistency between RttE and Httyd 2, specifically about how RttE!Hiccup would've blasted Eret's fortress to pieces and I'm like...

Did we watch the same show?

You're talking about RttE's Hiccup... who first had to deal with Dagur's men... You know, the guy he has 18 years of bad history with? And then the people Dagur associated with, the very same people who abducted Stormfly and left Astrid to die alone at sea?

The same Hiccup who dealt with the Defenders of the Wing... without trying to immediately confront them? First sneaking onto the island, because he had no idea whether these people were allies of Viggo Grimborn or not and he wasn't about to put anyone at risk by going dragon's blazing? Including the people who may or may not be his enemies?

The same Hiccup who dealt with the Wingmaidens, who abducted Snotlout and held him captive as far as he knew, still non-confrontationally because Heather recognized something about their Razorwhip-shed armor and thus followed her lead?

The same Hiccup whose island was invaded by fellow dragon riders so they could bully him and his friends away from their home and then their allies? Only for Hiccup to have a moral dilemma because he knew those Singetails were made to follow orders via chains and pain?

You mean that Hiccup? That Hiccup would take a single look at Eret's base and just blast it to pieces? For absolutely no reason? When Eret's fort was very clearly already blasted to pieces by something else and he and his crew responded, very reasonably mind you, to a pair of Dragon Riders coming right for them?

The answer is; no, Hiccup wouldn't.

Yeah I remember, @sboochi is the artis that drew buff!Hiccup. That was what I pictured when I was talking about it.

Ah, okay! They do have very good art.

I feel you, Astrid definitely has some muscle, no one's throwing a double bladed axe that way without some arms. This franchise has been a bit all over the place with who gets realistic proportion and who doesn't tbf.

I think a get what art you're picturing. While that's great too, my concept of Buffcup is usually Hiccup being given the same treatment Astrid is given by like evilwritter I think it's their name. I swear if you look it up on Tumblr a fairly famous httyd blogger made some Buffcup fanart (it was for a hijack ship tho so be warned) I do agree tho that one painting in that ROB episode is ugly.

Astrid can throw full-grown men around, too! I think that's even more impressive than what she can do with her axe. Men tend to weigh more, lol.

You're definitely spot on on the matter of who gets more realistic proportions, though.

I know Evilwriter37, he's one of my best friends. I've read many-a fics of Evil's, I'm not sure what you mean, though.

I also saw, like, one Buffcup fanart when I tried to look it up here on Tumblr. And it wasn't even Hijack! I was promised Hijack. 😞

Oh man, just the perfect creachure

Hi again! Forever the same anon lol

So remember that Buffcup suggestion I made, this reminded me that Buffstrid is also very much a thing, but I don't think we've ever seen your take on that. There's also the pairing of Buffcup x Buffstrid, that'll be amazing.

Have a great day!

I do love Buffstrid! I like to think that she's actually buff in the franchise. RttE does have Ruffnut complain about people praising Astrid for her muscles, so I like to imagine that they're there, even though the franchise itself is doesn't show it. Dreamworks is too cowardly to.

I'm perfectly neutral where Buffcup is involved. I do like it when fanart of Hiccup has him with some muscle (especially with *gestures at everything in the Httyd franchise*) but I like to think of him staying more compact. Buffcup like in the portrait that Bucket painted, doesn't really get a lot of love from me.

So likewise, I don't have any thoughts on Buff!Hiccstrid either. But I can see how people could have fun with that!

Have a great day yourself!

It's been pretty long since I've paid Astrid any attention in my art, so.. here's some new redraw of her💫

This beautiful shot has been on my list for a long time~

And as usual, it took me WAY longer than I planned🥲 But, hope you like it!
