im really sick of hearing people try to convince everyone that “rtte isn’t canon” when it literally is, if you’ve heard about the fire tides (which is canon) it is confirmed that when the gang goes to the chieftain meeting heather and dagur would be there representing the berserker tribe and we would’ve even seen heather and fishlegs have a moment to tie up their little relationship, so yes rtte is canon and if you don’t like rtte or don’t like that it’s canon that is completely fine and your choice and opinion, but stop trying to spread lies about it just because YOU don’t like it <3 it has been confirmed by multiple people on the team that it IS canon

#ShirtlessHiccup

Here's my submission! I imagine he'd look something like this after finally returning home. I don't see him as a huge tattoo person, so I kept it minimal. Scar details below the cut!

Scars: Neck - Being taken hostage at knifepoint Shoulders - Being perched on by smaller dragons (Accidentally, of course) Right arm/chest - Lightning strike Left arm - Dragon burn, dragon scratch Wrists - Rope burns from being held captive Abdomen - Various cuts/burns from sword fighting and blacksmithing

The Fire Tides Chapter 4: Meetings to an Opening

Hi guys! First of all, I am so so so sorry for the huge delay in releasing these chapters. I got very caught up with uni but now that I have some free time on my hands, I figured I would try my best to complete this project. Whether you're over Httyd or you still adore it, I'll still try to complete the fanfic for The Fire Tides as I promised! Hope you guys enjoy Chapter 4, where we resume off of Hiccup's response to his idea being rejected by Eret's father and the other chiefs. This chapter will start off with Fishlegs and Heather's reunion after the last time they saw each other at the Edge, I tried my best to make it somewhat close to how the characters would react if they were to meet after the events of Httyd 2! Hope you enjoy it and sorry again! :)

With the others challenging Eret at the bar, Fishlegs and Heather stared at each other blankly.

“So, how’s life at Berserker Island with your Berserker brother?” Fishlegs gave an awkward smile.

“Erm, it’s certainly berserk!” Heather laughed nervously, “I mean he’s still the same old Dagur you saw over at Dragon’s edge before we departed.”

“I can imagine!” Fishlegs chucked, “But, there does seem to be some change in you, Heather.”

She glanced at him wide-eyed, “Oh, erm I-”

“I didn’t mean it in a bad way! I just meant that-” He looked at her intensely, “You seem more at peace now.”

“And that makes me happier than I could ever say,” Fishlegs smiled, looking down.

“All the struggles you’ve been through, the loneliness you felt. It just seems like it’s all gone from your eyes.”

Heather’s eyes started to well up, “It has.”

“Fishlegs, these years have been the happiest of my life. I’ve seen and learned so much, being with my brother, seeing the people, our people, rejoice in the streets brings me such joy. I see exactly what I feel! I don’t feel alone anymore!” Heather cried in joy.

He placed a hand over her shoulder in ecstasy after hearing her confirm his suspicions, “Oh Heather! I’m so happy for you!”

Both of their eyes were tearing up, slowly and joyfully. However, Heather glanced at her shoulder and realised she had to tell him what she intended to say.

“Fishlegs, there is something I do need to tell you,” Heather shifted uneasily, “The thing is, well, I’m betrothed to someone over at Berserker Island.”

“Oh.”

Heather kept her eyes on the floor, “I know we had something. It was special, at the time. And it was one of the things that actually made me feel less lonely during those tiresome days. But I think with time, things change, situations change, we change and-”

“Heather, I-” Fishlegs chucked quietly, “You’re probably going to think I’m crazy, but I’m kinda into Ruffnut?”

Heather and Fishlegs stared at each other in amazement for a minute or two. Then, they both burst into laughter.

“This entire time, I was so worried to tell you!” They both spoke, chortling in joy.

“I thought you’d think I’m a nutcase for falling in love with Ruff!” Fishlegs cried.

“What! No way! I’m so happy for you both!” Heather yelled eagerly, “I thought you’d judge me for falling in love with a Berserker!”

“Oh, c’mon! You have a cool Berserker brother; we need a cool Berserker husband to that list too!”

They both giggled in amazement, chatting on and on about their new lives. How much they adore their prospective partners. How much they care about them. And, slowly, yet gradually, all of their past worries melted away with time, stirring them up and transcending them into a space that could no longer be reached.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sis-ster, I thank we need soume- ,” Tuffnut dropped to the floor with his mug in hand, “I be-eated that Erut!”

Fishlegs and Heather both glanced at Tuff in concern. Astrid arrived with Eret looking very pleased with himself indeed.

“Ah, how much did Tuff exactly drink?” Heather asked.

“You don’t wanna know,” Astrid glared at him.

“Err-et! He c-can’t stend a chance ag-ainst Snothat!” Snotlout fell to the floor as well.

“I did warn them. My tolerance against mead is quite high,” Eret nudged Snotlout’s drooling face with his foot, “He should be fine…maybe in a day or two.”

“Eret, is this really the time to be drinking? I expected you to be present at the Chief’s table.”

Eret looked over to the familiar voice, “Ah! Father!”

“Your Berkian Chief was there, why weren’t you?”

“Well, I’m not a Chief yet, Father, ” Eret scratched his neck in discomfort.

“Well, you will be. Sooner or later, you’ll have to take over the reigns of our tribe. I wonder if you take that duty seriously or not,” Eret’s father looked at him sternly.

“Father, we’ve spoken about this countless times. It just isn’t in me to-”

“Erm, I’m so sorry to interrupt both of you,” Astrid looked back and forth, “But, where exactly is the Berkian chief?”

Eret’s father turned to her, “It seemed that your chief didn’t see eye-to-eye with all the other chiefs. I did try my best to explain to him why his proposition would be denied, but he would not take no for an answer.”

Astrid sighed, “Well, that’s Hiccup for you.”

“He’s headed outside, probably wanted some air to cool off,” Eret’s father smiled at her, “Might be a good idea for you to help him cool off too?”

Astrid nodded with no hesitations, instantly gesturing for Stormfly to follow her to the exit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The night air was chilly, sporadically blasting cold drafts at the irritated chief. Hiccup slumped against Toothless, glaring at the black canopy above him. There were many stars embellished onto it, perceivable yet inaccessible, just like the many dragons he wished to reach out to. He desired for those dumbed-down Vikings to at least see a glimpse of the beauty he envisioned, the unlimited opportunities this dream could create, the great change that it would lead to. This was the goal from the very beginning. A human and dragon utopia.

Hiccup scratched Toothless in annoyance, “I know bud, they’re honestly a bunch of muttonheads.”

Toothless warbled a laugh.

“Hey, I’m just being honest!” Hiccup turned his head knowingly, “Some of them look like they have yak beards.”

“Yak beards? Hmm, you do seem to have a point there…”

Startled, Hiccup turned around to see Astrid getting off of Stormfly.

He raised an eyebrow, “Huh, I guess you weren’t joking when you said you can track me down.”

“Yup! Anywhere in the Archipelago, Astrid Hofferson will always be able to hunt a ‘Hiccup Haddock’ down,” Astrid rested her head on Hiccup’s shoulder.

“Hunt? I bet you can’t get to me before those yak-bearded chiefs.”

“Ah, it’s debatable,” She shifted closer to him, “But, why would the yak-bearded chiefs wish to hunt you down? I always assumed Hiccup Haddock was a fish, but perhaps he’s a yak.”

Hiccup gave a shocked look at her clever remark, “Haha, very funny. Maybe I should’ve used Tuff’s yak to get them to accept my proposal.”

“Hmm, perhaps. Bribery at its finest,” Astrid rubbed his hand, urging him to say what’s on his mind.

“Astrid, they just don’t see what I see,” Hiccup sighed.

“I know.”

“I wish they could just understand that humans and dragons living in harmony would change this world completely.”

“That is true,” Astrid played with his hair, “It would be quite a huge change. All humans. All dragons. Together.”

“It would be incredible, wouldn’t it?” Hiccup brought her in closer, pointing at the stars above, “Just imagine this night sky, and all you see are humans on the backs of dragons. You see them just speeding right past, laughing in utter joy, in utter freedom. It would feel so, so liberating for all of us.”

“Now that would be really beautiful,” Astrid then thought for a moment, “But, if there’s too many of us in the sky, I wouldn’t be able to see the stars. All I’d see are the dragons whizzing by. I would probably get knocked off by the amount of dragon traffic.”

“The sky is quite a huge expanse though,” Hiccup said quickly.

“That is true. But so are humans and dragons. We’re constantly popping into this world by the will of Thor.”

Hiccup thought for a second, “Hmm.”

“Are you saying he was right about his whole point on overpopulation? Eret’s father?”

“No. I’m not saying you’re right either. I’m just explaining why those yak bearded Vikings can’t see what you can see.”

Hiccup raised an eyebrow.

“It’s because you can’t see what they can see either.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’re Hiccup, you always look at the positives. These guys are obviously dead set on the negatives. Neither of you can see eye-to-eye because of how differently you see the world. I guess, it’s important to see both sides at times. Especially when making such huge decisions such as this.”

Hiccup blinked in sheer amazement. She really did know how to sum the situation up, huh?

“And what if the negatives outweigh the positives?” He then looked down defeatedly, thinking back to his failed debate with Eret’s father, “What happens then?”

Astrid lifted his chin up, “Then you find more positives.”

His eyes widened. This was what he was trying to do all along.

“And if you can’t find them,” Astrid slowly smiled at the stars, “Then you create them yourself.” 

That was it. He understood now. Even if those chiefs couldn’t come to terms with his proposal, it didn’t mean he would quit so easily. This was his dream and if he wanted to see it come to life, it was down to him to do so. Whether it took years upon years, he would keep trying to reach that dream regardless of the obstacles in his way.

Hiccup then smiled knowingly at Astrid whilst she was gazing at the stars. Instantly, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss. The starlight shone upon the two, their silhouettes merging into one other as the glow hovered around them in sheer radiance.

“How do you always know what to say during my moments of despair?” He smiled at her with renewed motivation.

Astrid laughed, “Hey, I’ve had a lot of practice. Hiccup’s moments of despair aren’t that new to me anymore.”

 “Well! Now that you’ve gotten me out of my slump, I guess it’s about time we headed back to the Foreverwing,” Hiccup grabbed her hand with restored determination, “Let’s gather the riders, we leave for Berk in an hour!”

Hope you guys enjoyed this! So with the help of Astrid, Hiccup is back to being determined in building his ideal world for humans and dragons, regardless of what Eret's father has said to him. Next chapter will be the start of the main plot for the Fire Tides!

The Wings of War

Summary:

Fifteen years have passed since the battle with Drago Bludvist. Since then, Berk and its allies have lived in relative peace, banding together to fend off whatever trouble finds its way to the Archipelago. But as The Gathering of the Chieftains arrives, rumours abound of an encroaching dragon-riding army, tinging the ceremonies with dread rather than joy. Hiccup and the other dragon riders will be faced once again with an old foe; their children will try to find their way in childhoods interrupted by violent conflict; and Toothless will rediscover parts of his past thought to be forever lost. In a tale of love, grief, and revenge, none can escape the shadow cast by the wings of war.

Ya know, as much as I like Astrid having her hair down in HTTYD 3 especially when it falls in line with her character developement, I kinda wished they got to use one of these concept art designs

I mean the flowers in her hair look beautiful! And I'm a sucker for Nordic/Celtic braids, real Game of Thrones style. It would've been really cool to see.

Like some of these braids designs are so cool and creative, it's a shame they didn't use them.

It's probably a good thing though that they went with the hair down in the third film (like I said, it matches with her character developement - i explained it in one of my posts).

They could've used it in the comics though. If they ever make the fire tides, maybe they could?

Making Your Hiccup Fanart CANON w/ Richard Hamilton

It’s finally here HTTYD fandom!

Since The Fire Tides was scrapped, we never thought we’d see the “canon” shirtless Hiccup we were promised - until now!

HTTYD Graphic Novel co-writer Richard Ashley Hamilton and I go through the fandom’s entries and choose the winner together 🤩 there’s enough shirtless Hiccup to last a lifetime here. And stick around until the end to see the grand winner, which is now deemed the *OFFICIAL* canon shirtless Hiccup!

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted, this was NOT an easy call, the fandom is so full of talent! Hope you enjoy and revel in the Hiccup-y glory 😉

Although there is still hope to get the comic released someday, so let’s not give up with just this ‼️

P.S. Dean DeBlois may be aware that this is a thing that happened

Missing The Fire Tides 2024 Edition

Siege & Storms - chapter 2 Astrid & Hiccup

-However, before Astrid could close the door behind her, Valka raised her voice. “Astrid, if you want to talk. I’m always here.” Astrid smiled, brushing a strand of her long hair out of her face. "Thanks, Valka."

The stone was cold and wet beneath her bare feet, icy rain wet her heated skin and let the thin fabric of the tunic stick to her skin, exposing her nipples. Her gaze slid to the sky, which was covered in thick black clouds. The raindrops flowed down her chin like a small torrent. "Oh, Hiccup, where are you?" Raindrops continually rolled off her glowing skin, she closed her eyes, her hands clenched into steel fists. Her heart burned with desire and longing. He was alive, he was alive, she continued to tell herself in her mind, fighting the urge to burst into tears. Astrid saw something blue come into her field of vision out of the corner of her eye and suddenly the rain above her stopped. Stormfly's golden gaze collided with hers, a faint smile playing on Astrid's lips as she stroked her nadder's lower jaw. "Thank you." Her pulse calmed again and the tears in her eyes dried up. She was a warrior, a general for Thor's sake. Hiccup was alive, she knew it, deep in her heart. It was enough for her. She would look for him alone and not rest until she found him. "Come on, Stormfly, let's go." Astrid ran back into the house, threw on her clothes and grabbed her axe. She also packed a bag with water, provisions, bandages and fresh clothes. She left a note at the dinner table for Valka. Saddled up, Stormfly was already waiting impatiently for them in the pouring rain when Astrid closed the door behind her. With quick movements, Astrid secured her ax and bag to the saddle before she sat down. Cold wind mixed with icy raindrops fell on her face as they took off and flew away from Berk.

The waves surged like high mountains over the sunken city, lightning broke through the night. The massive shadow of the Phantomfin glided majestically like a great cloud of black smoke over a hidden grotto in the ruins. Toothless grumbled and snuggled against the legs of his best friend, the person who had never given up on him despite the unforgivable act he had committed. Hiccup gently stroked his dragon's smooth scales on his head, which glowed silver in the light of each lightning strike. His chest rose and fell with every heartbeat. He heard the blood rushing in his veins with every wave that surged, with every drop that fell from the onyx-colored rocks of the cave, with every heavy step that echoed off the cave walls. He was there immediately. It could only be a matter of seconds. Hiccup looked into his best friend's big green eyes, which reflected his own fear. “Don’t worry, Toothless, we won’t die today. We won't die today. We will fight for our people, for our friends, my mother, my father." He paused briefly at the painful memory of his father's dead body, who had sacrificed himself for him and Toothless. Hiccup gritted his teeth, trying to push away the memory, the thought that he was about to come face to face with the man who was the real reason his father had to die. "Hiccup, you're much stronger than you think," he suddenly heard a very familiar voice in his head. The memory of his father instantly blurred with the sound of love in Astrid's voice. She stood in front of him, her delicate, soft fingers sliding over his chest. Her long blonde hair was tied back in a loose braid that evening, Berk was still in ice and destruction, his childhood home was one of the few that had been spared. He looked down at her, how could she stay so strong while the house she grew up in was in ruins again and her own father had only escaped death with serious injuries. He took her hand and kissed her palm. "Astrid, how do you manage to stay so strong all the damn time?" A sad smile played on her beautiful lips. "Hiccup, I'm not always strong either and you know that. Should I tell you a secret, sometimes I scream inside because I don't allow myself to cry, I don't allow myself to deviate from the ideal that I'm supposed to represent in my clan, my family . I am strong Yes, but I am not invulnerable. And do you know what has kept me alive in every single battle we have fought so far?” Tears gathered in her fathomless eyes. "You. Hiccup, you are my gravity, the driving force that drives me forward in every battle. Never in my life did I think that I would love someone as much as I love you. I love you, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, with all your flaws and the qualities that make you so special. I love you." "I love you too, very much," he whispered back, his finger wiping the one tear from her cheek. “And I thank you for always being there for me, my rock, my partner not only in battle but also in my life, for choosing me of all. And I promise you, you can cry at me, scream at me, kick as much as you want. I will never love you less because of it.” “We stay strong for each other,” Astrid finished, her voice broken. He would fight to get back home to the woman he loved and desired more than anything. Hiccup looked down into Toothless' green eyes and he would fight for his best friend. A deep voice snapped Hiccup out of this wondrous memory, he jumped when the shadow of Drago Bludvist appeared on the cave wall. "Hiccup, come out and finally fight like a real man."

please tell me i’m not the only one who is still shaking in wanting the fire tides so very badly

[ashleybenlove]

I am once again thinking about The Fire Tides.

[lilliths-httyd-blog]

i love how most of us consider unreleased comic the fire tides more canon than officially released movie the hidden world like damn right

[mothmansbakery]

If I had a nickel for every time something I’m hyperfixated on has a comic missing the last installment, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot- but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
