#Nuffink

[elshe]

✨“Can we keep them?!”✨

Except Hiccup and Astrid are the ones who would ask to keep them lol

Maybe just Hiccup actually.

idk these two kiddies are sooo cute. I love them.

[madman479r]

Bottom or top?

Nuffink: So that's how Grandpa met Skullcrusher?

Hiccup: Yeah. But that doesn't mean he loved Thornado any less, he loved both of his dragons, equally. Just how like me and your mother love the both of you equally.

Zephyr: Dad, I was wondering, how did you and mom fall in love?

Hiccup: Ho, boy. That's a long story, and one we won't be able to get into tonight. It's bedtime.

Zephyr: The other kids were asking if you're a bottom or a top.

Hiccup:... They- They should not be asking that.

Zephyr: They said if that was your answer, you were a bottom.

Hiccup: Who are these f*****g kids you're talking to?!

Deer Daddy,

Mama told me to write this to pratise my riting. What should I rite? Oh! I love you. Your the best dad in the arkeypelago maybe even the world. I wish I was a dragon because you love them so much.

I like trout. I like the way you make it. I don’t like the way mom or granma make it.

What is a ass? Uncle Snotlout says granma has an ass that won’t quit. I asked him what that was and he didn’t answer and neither did mama so I was wondering what a ass was and what its doing and why granmas won’t stop.

You’ll never guess what I found in my nose. I thot it was a huge booger, but it was ackually a piece of my brian! I ate it just in case.

I think this is long enough. My hand hurts. I wrote a whole book.

Sinseerlee,

Nuffink

Hiccup chuckled to himself as he read the letter, a wide smile on his face.

Setting it down on the table, he pulled out a fresh piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, writing back.

Nuffink,

Your Mama is very smart, you know. I always say you and your sister ought to listen to her more, she knows what she's talking about.

It was great to receive your letter. These gatherings of Chieftains can feel quite long, and I miss our family when I'm away. It made my day, getting this letter from you.

I may love dragons, but I love you and our family even more so. I wouldn't change a thing about you, Nuffink.

It's good to know you like my cooking, but be kind to Mama and Grandma, alright? They work hard when they cook. When I get back, I'll teach you how to make trout just like I do.

He paused, running a hand over his face. "I'm going to have a talk with Snotlout when I get back..." With a sigh, he continued to write.

Don't listen to anything Uncle Snotlout says about your grandma. And don't repeat that word, it's not polite. It's not something I can answer you now, but maybe when you're older.

He stifled a laugh, reading the next part over again. Was it gross? Yes. But, he couldn't deny that it was funny.

Shaking his head, he put the charcoal to the paper again.

You certainly don't want your brain to leak out of your nose! Best to keep it all in your head. Try not to pick your nose, son, that's what hankies are for.

I will be home soon. I love you, and I'm looking forward to getting big hugs from you and your sister when I return.

With love,

Dad

Hiccup folded up the letter, sealing it with wax before sending it on its way. He may make it back to Berk before his letter, but he was happy to write back.

Ok, so I'm probably the only person in the world who actually dislikes the 'Zephyr & Dart' and 'Nuffink & Pouncer' pairs, especially when the Snoggletog Log gave us the opposite, lol.

I'm sorry, but this will always be the true pairs for me (even if they didn't get dragons in the end regardless, haha~).

But yeah, these parts in the log are just too cute for me to ignore, so I'll take pride in being the only fan for this set~

[p-artsypants]

Okay so Nuffink as a wicked accent, but Zephyr does not. Does that mean it's genetic and it just skipped a generation? Did Nuffink inherit Stoick's accent?

I'm choosing to believe that

[lisasmind]

“he’s not going to eat your father!” when i first heard it i was like “haha lol!” until i realized that hiccup and astrid probably had to have a conversation with the kids that there was a possibility he could get eaten by toothless …

cause astrid was RELIEVED like i know it’s dark to think about but woah

[wolfasketch]

Mans fell hard

Bonus:

Real hard

[tenebrius-excellium]

Just back down my Httyd3 rabbit hole and mindblown how Zephyr's and Nuffink's names translate to "[nothing] in the [gentle West wind breeze]" as if Hiccup and Astrid didn't literally put map clues to the Hidden World into their children's names

[tirednshet]

Httyd, Next Gen.

IVE DONE IT, PEOPLE!

After days of writing, trying to find proper names, and (trying to) make it as accurate as possible, I present to you my version of the next generation of dragon riders in httyd (in this AU)!

*(Btw, the descriptions are from a series of stories im making, so it will contain a shit-ton of lore. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Zephyr Haddock - The eldest of the Haddock children, and the future heir to Berk. She reflects her fathers sarcasticness and creativity. She rides a Stromcutter she named Skysplitter. She is also the unofficial leader of the next generation of Dragon Riders, and is willing to protect all of them, especially Nuffink, when they are in danger. She often feels pressured by this new role, due to the fact she was placed in it overnight, but is guided by Avery. She feels guilty and feels as if it is her fault that her parents, and Berk, are in the state they are in in the first place. She doesn't like to talk about it all that much.

Nuffink Haddock - The youngest of the Haddock children, and while not the heir, still the Chief’s son. Unlike Zephyr, he reflects his mother’s traits of being adventurous and brash. He rides a green Nadder named Buckwing. He tries to help Zephyr the best he can on Dragon’s Edge, but sometimes goofs off with the cousins and Eira. He doesn’t like hearing about Berk, because it reminds him of his parents and the condition they are in.

Scullnut Thorston-Jorgenson - The son of Snotlout and Tuffnut (fraternal mother was Ruffnut). He inherits both of his fathers’ chaotic personalities, while also reflecting their loyalty to their old team. He rides a Typhoomerang named Glowtorch. When he escaped from Berk, Thornut wasn’t on the best terms with his parents (there will be TONS of context on that later). He feels guilty about it, and often feels like they ended up in their condition because of him. He takes his guilt out on the other riders in various forms, like questioning Zephyr’s leading, disobeying Avery and running amok on Dragon’s Edge with the cousins, and often zoning out during combat lectures. (He just doesn’t know any other way to deal with it, and certainly is not the type to talk about his problems).

Runa Ingerman - The daughter of Ruffnut and Fishlegs. She inherited Ruffnut’s chaotic personality and Fishlegs’s love for dragons, so the result was a chaotic love for dragons (I seriously don’t know how that would work out). Runa rides Fogs and Gust, a Zippleback from the Hidden World. She and Scullnut are thicker than the hairiest yak on Berk, because I mean, they are cousins, after all. They often secretly go on little adventures around Dragon’s Edge, just to loosen up a little. They also try not to think of the state Berk, and their parents, are in, afraid of what might’ve happened to them.

Arne - The eldest child of Dagur and Mala, and the future heir of the Defenders of the Wing, and the Berserkers. He reflects his mother’s traits, being calm and collected in times of danger, and knowing when the right time is to strike. He rides a Thunderdrum he named Waves, and often helps Zephyr as second-in-command of the riders, and keeps everyone, especially Eira, in check. He also comforts the riders when they feel at their lowest, and assures them that they are going to defeat Zelda and get their islands and people back.

Eira - The youngest child of Dagur and Mala. She inherited her father’s red hair and wild personality, and his fighting skills as well. She rides a Triple Strike named Wildeye. She has a hobby of chasing some of the Night Terrors around Dragon’s Edge, along with the cousins (Runa and Scullnut). Sometimes even Nuffink joins them as well. But Eira does have a more serious side to her. She looks up to both of her parents (mostly her father), and refuses to believe that he fell to a crazy lady and her dragon. So, whenever someone mentions him or anything related to him, she goes quiet and isolates herself for the rest of the day.

*I'm sorry if this isn't accurate/is cringey. As I said before, I tried to make it as accurate as possible (for this AU).

Writing about the Haddock kids in my WIP:

"Nuffink certainly differed from his father when it came to his attitude towards dragons, though ironically it made them alike. The poor boy was completely different from his peers and stood out like a sore thumb. Apart from his looks and desire to be of use to the tribe, he was nothing like his mother. Meanwhile, there was Zephyr, who had her father’s impulsiveness, her mother’s stubbornness, and their courage combined. Though she had not quite figured out how to put any of it to good use."

I have so many feelings about them.

The struggle of having "hot" parents

Zephyr

An 18-year-old Zephyr was hanging out with her friends by the statue of her grandfather, Stoick the Vast. Each of the girls were talking about Berk's recent history, or rather the years of the dragon riders.

Many people would think having parents that had such feats as Hiccup and Astrid Haddock did would bring a lot of pressure and an inferiority complex, but not Zephyr. If anything, she was proud to have such awesome parents as hers.

Seriously! Her mother was the best warrior Berk had ever seen, going up against giant burly vikings with ease, being second only to her Grandfather Stoick, and that was only because her mom didn't fight him out of respect.

And her father was the brightest Viking of the barbaric archipelago, using his mind to defeat powerful foes and overcome overwhelming odds, making a sword of fire and being able to fly without a dragon!

One of her friends, Bodil, suddenly shivered when a cold gust of wind brushed past them. "Hey, mind if we go inside. It's getting cold."

"Sure. Let's go to my house." Zephyr offered and the group of teens made for her house.

So yeah, Zephyr truly loved her parents and was proud to be their child. But there was just one issue...

"Soooo... will your dad be home?" Alma, another one of Zephyr's friends, tried to casually ask, but her sly and hopeful tone betrayed her.

Zephyr stopped in her tracks and deadpanned at the girl. "Seriously?"

"I'm just asking because... I... don't want to disturb him?" Alma weakly defended.

"Oh yeah, you'll totally be disappointed to see him." Every time. Every. Single. TIME! Many women apparently had the hots for her dad, both his generation and her generation, and her friends were no exception. They'd either freeze up, become overly awkward, try to get his attention or act flirtatious, sometimes it was all of the above.

And the funny thing, something Zephyr didn't know whether was a good or bad thing, was that her dad was completely oblivious to it.

Once some girl baked something for her dad, brought to the house and everything. From her stance, how she offered to bake some more if he wished, it was clear she was shooting her shot. And dad's reaction once the door was close? "...What a nice young lady."

And her mother, who could see through the compliments and gifts, would only smile or laugh it off. Apparently her father wasn't one for subtly or ques, seeing as she had kissed him multiple times before they got together and he never imagined her mother was in love with him.

But seriously! It was only gross! That was her dad! You can use 'cool', 'awesome', 'brave' or 'smart' to describe him, but hot? That was not a word she wanted associated with her father.

=================

Nuffink

Ever since he understood his warrior lineage, Nuffink wanted nothing more than to be the greatest warrior of Berk, along with his mom and Grandpa Stoick. Even wanting to achieve the same feat as Grandpa Stoick did in breaking a rock in two with only his head.

(Nuffink didn't see why mom was annoyed with grunkle Gobber when he told him that story, it sounded so cool!)

So he would constantly train, with whatever weapon felt the best (twin short swords sounded cool, maybe even a wrist sword) and with his mom. Maybe he was a momma's boy, but who wouldn't wish to have such a cool, badass warrior for a mother?

And when his mom became the teacher for the next generation of fighters, he was the first in line to sign up, and aimed to be the best student.

Unfortunately, there were some other eager young men who wanted to learn under his mom. But not for the right reasons.

"Man, I can't wait to do some hand-to-hand with miss Astrid."

"I know how to make her sweat, and not just in a fight."

"Think I'll be able to get some private lessons?"

Nuffink normally would have broken some Jaws and knocked some teeth loose after hearing the other boys talk in such a way about his mother, not only was it disrespectful to him, but to his mother, who didn't deserve to be talked in such a way, and to his father, who these morons acted like wasn't worthy of her.

But Nuffink knew that what was to come would be so much more satisfying and hilarious.

See, these horny idiots didn't know how strict Astrid Haddock got when it came time to training. Outside of it? She was kind, nurturing and loving to Nuffink, but during training? It wasn't 'mom', instead it was 'Ma'am', even to him.

"Alright, listen up!" Mom finally made it into the training arena, gaining the attention of all participants. "I want you to get one thing. I bet you all think you're already the best fighter here, that you'll breeze past this, but I plan on crushing that delusion, crushing that arrogance and crushing that enthusiasm. Because if that enthusiasm can be so easily destroyed, then it was too weak for me to mould into a true warrior. If you don't leave here sore, then I consider that a session wasted. Is that understood?"

Nuffink was the only one to answer with the expected "Yes, ma'am!" With his chest puffed out and back straight, while the others gave half hearted affirmations.

Astrid Haddock narrowed her eyes dangerously and took out her axe before throwing it at the group, missing one boy by just a hair, which made them all straighten up in sudden fear.

Nuffink snorted. Didn't these idiots get it? She had intentionally missed. If she wanted that throw to kill someone, there would be one less person on New Berk.

"Alright. We'll be focusing on hand-to-hand combat. Because if you can't even throw a decent punch, then I doubt you'll be able to a sword correctly. Any volunteers?"

One arrogant asshole, by the name of Ivar, confidently strode up to mom with a leer on his face, flexing his muscles 'subtly'. "Don't worry, miss Hofferson, I'm sure a session with me will leave you sore, in a good way." He said in an oily tone.

Mom simply raised an unimpressed brow at him and silently got into a fighting stance, which Ivar pathetically copied, pathetic in the sense that it was completely open and a poor replication of his mother's stance.

Ivar suddenly threw a jab, (too slow, too wide and leaving his vital points open to attack, Nuffink analysed) to which Astrid simply parried and quickly threw a powerful punch into his exposed sternum, making the teen lose both his air and confidence. As he bent forward, struggling to breathe, Astrid was quick to follow up with a elbow uppercut to his chin, forcing his chin to point up towards the sky, as Astrid spun around and used her hand to chop the side of his neck, effortlessly taking him down in only three strikes and in seemingly just a blink of an eye.

As Ivar rolled on the ground, gasping for air, the other students suddenly grew a new found level of fear for their instructor.

"Anyone notice where he went wrong?" Astrid questioned, unconcerned for Ivar.

Nuffink answered, not raising his hand as his mom preferred, "He left himself exposed with a poor stance, especially after throwing a punch that was too wide."

Astrid nodded with a small smile. "Correct, Haddock."

Nuffink allowed a smile to grow on his face. Even if his peers acted to shamelessly towards his mother, he wouldn't have her any other way. And being able to have front row seats to his mother decimating those same idiots wasn't a bad trade.

[dragonmasterhiccup]

As a continuation to the kids question, do you have names that you would want to use if you had more kids or no?

Also, do you have things that are like your time with Zephyr or your time with nuffink? If so will you share what they are?

"No, we try not to think of names until they're born. We did kick around the idea of naming our kids after our parents, but ultimately decided against it. I've never really been one for tradition, anyways."

"Let's see... Zephyr and I will tinker together. I'll bring home some spare bits and pieces from the forge, and we'll work together to see what we can make out of it. I also have a personal stash of extra materials from my past projects, so we'll dive into that, too."

"Nuffink is learning how to read, so he and I will sit together and continue working on that, which he does enjoy. He also enjoys drawing, so I always make sure we have charcoal pencils ready and spare paper so we can draw together."

"I'm sure the time we spend together and what we'll do with it will change as they get older, but right now? It's pretty perfect, if I do say so myself."
