So yeah, that's a thing. Lets let him know this is something we'll take seriously.

Some Hiccup head canons I have 👍

Rtte timeline

Can crack every single bone in his body (as in how you crack your knuckles) and it makes a sickeningly loud crunching sound every single time he does it.

Freakishly flexible

Smokes Opium on occasion to deal with particularly bad pains

Speaking of pains, he's covered in burn scars.

Happens less often since it's been a few years, but sometimes right after he's woken up, he'll forget he's missing a leg and briefly gets very confused

Ice is his number one enemy

^ has slipped over in public more times than he'll ever willingly admit

Still keeps a pair of shoes instead of just the right one.

Always smells of something chemically or burnt from working in the forge all the time.

All of his fingertips are slightly charred

Often finds twigs in his hair

Sleep talks

Sleep walks but that's rarer and usually wakes up within the first minute or so

He has had to convince several people that he isn't a demon/god/deity/prophet/cult leader/half dragon/lycanwing

^ Has almost been burnt at the stake for demon allegations.

Speaks fluent French

^ So does Stoick. If they're having a dispute in public, it is in French.

^ Yells in French when overly annoyed/frustrated

Designated person to get rid of bugs

Goes on alone midnight walks, even without Toothless

Lightning makes him jumpy

Handwriting is so bad it's almost illegible - originally from @ashleybenlove

Stoick had to design his signature for him because Hiccup just could not for the life of himself stick to the same one and it would become an issue on legal documents.

Allergic to dragon root (doesn't help with the half dragon allegations)

Guiltiest Guilt Complex to have ever guilted

Genuinely, and when I say genuinely I mean actually really, went slightly fucking insane with the whole Viggo stuff.

^ Got visual, auditory, and touch hallucinations from the severe sleep deprivation

^ Developed paranoia that fluctuated in severity

^ Got extremely irritable

^ Had at least one semi-public nervous breakdown (On the edge in the clubhouse)

Big fan of lettuce

Imagine being in a state of ecstasy, constantly from start to finish, during a battle must be terrifying for Luffy's opponents

Imagine a dude GENUIENLY laughing, giggling and making fun of you in a battle where powers that destroy literal buildings are colliding and haki that would make an entire island worth of people pass out clashing

Luffy isn't taking anyone seriously, joking around and doing shit for fun.

It get so fucking scary when he gets serious. He's still smiling mind you. But he's got that dangeous glint in his eyes constantly now instead of random moments of it appearing.

Red eyes setting off the alarm bells in your head and his giggles probably sounding like hearing a child laughing in an abandoned forest while you're alone in there.

NOT TO MENTION THE FUCKING DRUMS. Just. Random ass drums start playing. You are in a fight that will probably destroy you. And there's fucking music randomly playing in the bg.

Luffy still not realizing that he is who the Iron Giant is talking to when it is calling him Joyboy is very funny

but it also reinforces the themes surrounding Luffy and the concept of Joyboy and Nika.

Because while Luffy in gear 5 looks similar to how Joyboy has been depicted, he is not literally a reincarnation of Joyboy. He is not the second coming of a god, he is - first and foremost - Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will be King of the Pirates. And him still not acknowledging that he could (even potentially) be the "Joyboy" that the robot is referring to solidifies that.

And what is particularly impressive to me about this thematic throughline, is that it is able to coexist with the belief of characters like Bonney, Kuma, the giants etc. that Luffy is the second coming of Joyboy, of Nika. Because Luffy isn't that. We the audience know that Luffy awakened his devil fruit, and that his resemblance to the Nika and Joyboy of history is because they both had/have the same fruit. We know that Luffy is still Luffy. He has not been possessed by a god (hell, we don't even know if deities actually exist in the would of One Piece, as we have only ever seen the worshipers of them), or by the previous wielder of the fruit. Luffy is still Luffy. If anything, his awakening has amplified who he is, not changed him. And it is in this way that Luffy sort of becomes a Schrodinger's Chosen One.

Because the narrative of One Piece does not present him as a chosen one. He awakened a devil fruit, but not because that was his destiny, or because he knew of some greater prophecy surrounding it. Luffy's actions are for no one but himself and his friends (as in he is not making his decisions with the knowledge of a prophecy, whether it be to fulfil it or avoid it). He is not guided by fate, and anytime we see Luffy follow in the footsteps of another by inheriting their will, it is his own choice. Luffy chose to pursue being the next pirate king, and chose to keep Ace's promise to Tama (and the people of Wano). But certain characters within One Piece do view him as this pre-ordained return of Joyboy. And they are not treated as idiots for this, their faith in the return of their god is treated seriously, and with respect. And their faith IS rewarded, just not necessarily in the way they were expecting. They DO get Joyboy, but not as a reincarnation or a possession, but as a person who can choose to take up the mantle of Joyboy, if he so wishes. And even if he doesn't, Luffy cares enough about freedom (both for himself and others he cares for) that they will still get Joyboy, even if that isn't his name.
