(Snotface Snotlout from Book 10: "How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel")

What do you guys think about me writing a what-if whump-tragedy fic where Hiccup died instead of Snotlout, leaving Snotlout to have to take up the mantle and become King of the Wilderwest in Hiccup's stead with a Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus-sized burden of guilt on the side?

Book 10 related memes! Warning for anyone who's not read it!

ok look I’m as excited about unraveled as the next person, but, but but but but but I really wish people would stop bashing on Shannon for it since I seriously doubt this was her plan I think it’s most likely that with all the stuff going on in her personal life lately the tenth book could have taken like an extra year which would mean in total it would be a three year gap between book 9 and book 10 obviously Shannon (and probably the publisher that publishes these books) didn’t want this and were starting to feel the pressure so what do they do? Release book 10 as a two parter? Nope. Boom unraveled. Shannon probably just had it as a scene were Sophie read keefes mind and found out whatever was super important that we needed to know and then just moved on but now she’s just taken that scene and bam book. Keep in mind that my knowledge of the publishing process and book writing world is very limited so I’m probably wrong but that’s just my hunch

Interesting thoughts about family, which I consider one of the subthemes of the series. But also a lovely insight into William.

Thuggory, to Hiccup: Let this be the hour when we draw swords together... my King!

[correct-httyd-book-quotes]

When I was young I never asked questions, I just did what I was told, I followed the traditions, I stuck to the Barbaric Code. I walked in the path of my own father, and my father’s father, and my father’s father’s father. I tried to bring up my son by the same Code, even though he was so different, and he always asked so many questions. But it is not always easy being a parent. You do your best, of course… So when my son asked the question, “Father, if you were King, would you free the dragons?” I told him the right answer. The only answer. The answer a King should give. Free the dragons? Nonsense! It strikes at our very livelihood, the world that we grew up in! But what does my son Hiccup do? He rejects my answer, beats his father in a swordfight! And goes over his father’s head and asks for freedom for the dragons on his own! And see what happens! The Archipelago is in flames around us! My honour, my reputation is gone, the ships I sailed in turned to ashes, my Chiefdom lost. All our villages burnt, the Dragon Furious rampant, the old order broken, the world at war. And all, all, all… because of my son Hiccup and his questions. Can you blame me for being angry with my son? And yet… If you were to ask me now, the question, if I were King, would I free the dragons, I might answer you quite differently. The experience of being a slave myself has strangely changed my mind. And now I ask myself… Was my son Hiccup actually brave to ask this question? Was he right to ask this question? Was it, even, a question worth losing a world for? So the answer to your question, McJelly, is yes, I am the father of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. I am hoping against hope that somewhere out there he is safe and well. And I am proud to be his father, even though I do not always agree with his questions, and I do not yet know whether they were worth the loss of the world I loved.

The longest speech Stoick had ever made to Hiccup without even knowing he was speaking to his son

Feb. 16 News Possibilities

Merch: I saw someone on Reddit suggest this. I doubt this because it would be the worst marketing move in the world when everyone’s excited for the movie/book 10, but it would be unexpected

Book 10 title AND cover: I feel like this is what they want us to expect. It feels like the most logical news if it’s going to be about Book 10. It’s never been released like this before but it could be a special announcement for the last book or smth idk

Movie news: a lot of people have put this down as a possibility but they have really defined what kind of news. I think they most likely announcements are either that it’s gonna be a TV show instead or a casting announcement. Based on interviews, it seems like the movie is still in the scripting stage so those are the only two leaps I can think of. This seems likely since it’s unexpected but anticipated but I feel like Shannon’s team has to know people will be disappointed that it’s not book 10 news.

Delay: I can’t see this happening, there’s no way they’re hyping up for bad news.

Graphic novel pt II: fans know this is coming so I feel like this is not the big thing they’re trying to hype up

Short story compilation: I could see this as a solid possibility. It’s been discussed in the past but nothing official has come of it. It would be a pretty exciting possibility to hype up for three days. I feel like if this was the case, fans would be pretty critical that it’s in the works while there’s no book 10 news and the team might not want to hype that up but who knows

Prequel/sequel/another series: I put this as a seperate category since it would be something that has never been brought up and therefore unexpected and exciting. Same thoughts as the short story collection

The fact that someone found the release date for book 10 (Nov 7) yesterday, I feel like it might be related to book 10 but it’s still hard to say.

It could also be multiple announcements at once but based on previous announcements and the way they’re talking about it seems unlikely

I’ll reevaluate after todays hint

[nainowalenef1]

Im pretty sure Book 10 is either gonna be called Unknown or Forgotten. I've got the feeling in my bones.

B-b-But.

If, by any chance, Book 10 is focused on Fintan, it can be called pyren.

Although prlly not cuz Fintan deserves his own book and book 10 prolly revolves around Elysian.

Also, if Shannon wants a full circle, she can name the last book (presumably book 10) Keeper Of the Lost Cities.

Honestly, I would prefer the ending line of the whole series is 'Keeper of the Lost Cities.'

Just finished Stellarlune for the first time. :>

"you have to enter the realm of hades and speak with the theban seer tiresias before you can return home" is a good thing to say if you want to trick a people into entering the realm of hades.

first posts of book ten are up! the gods are bickering again.

(and a personal note from the editor: this particular vessel for the ghost of vergil is having a medical procedure at the end of this week; posts and responses may be spotty, but the poem itself is queued up well into book 11 and should continue as usual.)

[sirensea14]

Please tell me I'm the only one who was so terrified of ch 169 (opening ch for book 10) that i had to grab a pillow that i can hide myself and was shaking in terror while reading it (maybe not just ch 169 but the whole book 10 in general)

Cuss.

sorry what the fuck was that
