"Fishlegs, give me a slow burn."

You could easily read this as a fanfiction request.

Fishlegs would write fanfic.

A View to a Skrill by Noctus Fury

What would happen if the Berserkers caught themselves a Skrill to use in their raids? Ultimate mayhem will ensue!! 😈

Vorg: Chief, we finally captured a Skrill — as you have ordered!

Dagur: [Grins maniacally] AAHHHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!! EXCELLENT!!! Come, my brothers! Let us sail forth on our invincible armadas and destroy Berk once and for all! Ehehehehehe!!! Using our beloved Skrilly, we shall dominate both the seas and the skies! And Berk — and Brother Hiccup's and that Night Fury's heads — will forever be MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!! AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOOH!!!!

For the background, I used a shot from ROB's episode "Twinsanity". Then I erased Dagur from existence and replaced it with the Skrill, while keeping the Berserker Guards. (How devious of me! Mwahahaha!!) 😈

I then added the skrill banners from the RTTE Season 5's episode "Something Rotten on Berserker Island" for some nice interior touches.

All-in-all, I'm quite proud of what I did on this! 😌 Great job, me! 😎👍🏻

The edit for Heather with this background is here.

The edit for Osvald's Funeral with this background is here.

Thank you very much for your support and for checking this out! Please like and reblog this to continue supporting me! My next edit will be for Heather this time in an epic AU what-if!

Long Live the Night!

“Where’s Tuff?”

“He didn’t make it 😔”

“…WHAT”

Lmao why is this show so funny

[saturnniidae]

Interesting and, in my opinion, often overlooked thing about Hiccup is how he's like, not really a compassionate person by default. It was learned, not an innate trait like it seemingly was with Valka.

From things said in the first movie, we can presume he's always had a fairly intense interest in dragons, but it was solely with the intention of killing them – and very stubbornly his way at that, considering he hadn't even read the Book of Dragons yet – and it kind of makes sense considering, he's likely desensitized to violence with how often their village was repeatedly burnt to the ground then rebuilt. Like he got excited there was a raid, completely one-track minded on his plans to shoot something down for his own benefit with no regard for the danger everyone (and himself) was in (and yes! This is somewhat selfish, but he was also a child.) Again, a lot of people overlook the fact that while he was insecure about it, alienated by his peers, and looked down upon by adults, Hiccup is still a viking – or at least was raised as one. He still very much held the same, core dragon killing beliefs every one else on Berk did. The only thing that set him apart was his inability to follow directions due to his unwavering obstinacy when it came to doing things his way.

He had every intention of killing Toothless upon finding him, only changing his mind after seeing the dragons fear and realizing they're both trapped by circumstances outside of their control, and even then had no plans of seeing Toothless again after freeing him. He thought he lost his chance at killing a dragon, after uaving the realization he just didn't have the heart to look an animal in the eyes and take its life, he was fully prepared to return to his mundane routine of ignoring what adults want him to do in favor of his own, ironic and futile attempts at making his father proud.

He's never had any kind of 'natrual' connection with dragons, it was something he stubbornly worked towards. Like I said before; he was as set on killing one as any other person on Berk, I just think he had an easier time accepting they were wrong due to spending most of his life as an outcast.

He only went back to find Toothless after his first attempt at dragon training, it was with no intention to get closer, more of an almost childish curiosity, a fascination that grew out of hand, especially after Astrid yelled at him and forced him to confront what he was doing with the question: 'Whose side are you on?"

I know Forbidden Friendship is the moment we all talk about, but I don't think Hiccup and Toothless had any kind of solidified bond until they flew together, and from Toothless' point of view, the realization that Hiccup had now gone beyond just brief fascination and was actually invested enough to help him fly again.

And even then it wasn't until he met that Terror he realized that Toothless wasn't just a one off thing, that most dragons won't attack pointlessly unless pushed to. And even then his relationship with them is still very flawed, and remains that for a long time; I know we're mostly talking about movie Hiccup here, but would the 'do-no-wrong dragon whisperer' that some people act like he is really have trapped that Skrill in a glacier because it was the easy way out? (In his defense he was like sixteen and at least realizes it was pretty fucked up when he was older and did his best to fix things)

It took time for him to get to be the so called 'peace keeper' he is as an adult (though he always seems to prioritize dragons over people, especially Toothless which is a really interesting and fitting flaw but I digress).

tldr; Hiccup was kind of a selfish, maybe even insensitive kid in the beginning, his compassion took time to develop. I feel like people too often forget that, one of his best traits wasn't an innate thing; it was something he worked for.

[useless-moss]

The fact Viggo was able to tame a Skrill so easily.

Like, he knew that dragon for an hour or two max and it was ready to fight and die by his side for him.

I think about this a lot for a few reasons. One, it implies that dragon taming really is as simple as just "show you're trustworthy and be kind."

Two, it implies Skrills aren't as aggressive or untameable as previously assumed. (Which goes with my personal headcanons)

Three, it's a powerful as fuck scene. It shows how far Viggo has come and how much he's willing to change, to give up, for those he cares about. Truly cares about. I mean, this man had spent months in a war against Hiccup and, pretty much overnight and with the help of one of the dragons he'd arguably be the most afraid of (assuming that one scar he has is, in fact, from a close call with a Monstrous Nightmare) he changed his entire world view. He decided to give up everything, his life's work, his life itself, all to help Hiccup get closer to stopping Krogan and Johann. This man gave up everything for an adversary turned friend and a couple dragons, and that's probably one of the most honorable and memorable ways to go out I can think of.

Httyd Demigod AU headcanons

From a practicing Norse pagan. My experience with the Gods may be different from others' because gods appear differently to different people.

Hiccup: Odin or Njord. Odinn's domain includes knowledge, curiosity, wisdom, and creativity. Hiccup's bravery in being willing to befriend a dragon and then challenge the belief that dragons are monsters reminds me of Odin. In Riders of Berk (When Lightning Strikes), Hiccup gets struck by lightning purposefully to prove that Thor isn't angry with Toothless but that lightning is attracted to metal. That's a pretty hardcore approach to solving problems with science. I also mention Njord because his character is similar to Hiccup. Njord's domain includes fishing, travel, and peaceful seas. Hiccup is a wanderer, and adventurer at heart, a trait which matches both Odin and Njord. Hiccup is also very diplomatic, and his connection to dragons which are used as travel and also a means to provide for people (the way dragons are used for fishing, plowing fields, etc) brings Hiccup very close to the symbolic domain of Njord.

Astrid: Tyr or Skadi. Tyr's domain includes war, justice, and the skies. Astrid is a ferocious warrior who stops at nothing to protect her loved ones and in the later movies she becomes very level-headed and practical, qualities I associate with Tyr. However I think being a child of Skadi is a better fit for her. Skadi's domain is winter but her story also contains aspects of vengeance and strength. Astrid has also had trouble with being quick to anger and eager for revenge (Fright of Passage and A-Team are great examples). Skadi is also the wife of Njord, although Astrid and Hiccup are far more compatible. (Skadi picked Njord for his beautiful feet)

Fishlegs: Eir or Freyr. Eir is a handmaiden of Frigg and her domain is healing; like Frigg, she is one of the common hearth-gods who would have a prominent place of honor in the home. Fishlegs has always seemed more domestic than the others due to his gentle nature and enjoyment of life's little pleasures like his meditation garden. Freyr's domain includes summer, peace and prosperity, sunshine and fair weather, (also Big D I'm not kidding). Fishlegs thrives in times of peace and has a warm demeanor. He also is great at coming through for his friends when he's needed. Freyr is the owner of many magical artifacts, much like Fishlegs and his gadgets and dragon knowlege.

Snotlout: Bragi. I have very strong feelings about this choice, and it's an unusual one. Bragi's domain is art, music, poetry, and eloquence. Snotlout is very performative in everything that he does in a way that feels more like a theater kid than just bragging and bravado. Snotlout is charismatic and very skilled in more than just battle. He's great at stitching (Night of the Hunters), singing (Crash course, Imperfect harmony, Tone Death), acting (last auction heroes), and even writing (family matters). In my experience with Bragi, he is a proud, confident, and boastful poet warrior who is well learned in both swordplay and wordplay. I feel that Snotlout would try to bluff that he's a child of one of the famous warrior gods like Thorr, but his friends would eventually figure out who his real godly parent is.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut: Loki, obviously. Loki's domain is mischief, deception, tricks, playfulness, and quick-wittedness. The twins canonically revere Loki and dedicate their lives to pranks and mischief. There is also a certain amount of deception in their characters, especially with Ruffnut. The twins are both smarter and more eloquent than they seem. They know multiple languages, come up with ideas sometimes even before Hiccup does, and are both skilled infiltrators. It seems they do the things they do for shits and giggles, flying by the seat of their pants, but really they are much more capable than anyone realizes (A View to a Skrill and Twintuition). I feel like they rarely let anyone see how capable they are so that no one expects them to really do anything.

Stoick: Thor or Tyr. Thor's domain is lightning, storms, battle, and farming (I will come back to that last one). Stoick even looks a lot like Thor with his red hair, amazing beard, and large belt. Stoick is quite a fearsome warrior and leader but is also compassionate and protective of his people. Thor's domain being storms is linked to farming because rain gives life to the crops and is a necessary part of growth. Because of that, Thor is also seen as a provider much in the way Stoick is as a chief. Stoick is also very fair and able to change his mindset and admit when he is wrong, as seen after the first movie. I feel like Thor gets a lot of shit in media, often being portrayed as fat, stupid, a giant jerk like Zeus, and cruel. In my personal experience, Thor is much more like Stoick in character. (#StopThorSlander)

Heather: Freyja or Skadi. Freyja's domain includes love, battle, cats, and magic. Freyja is the one who brought seidr to the Aesir, a powerful and mysterious type of magical practice. Freyja is seen as gentler than the other gods, but she has a darker side that modern interpretations tend to forget. Freyja represents female power, but also can be deceptive and secretive. Freyja is a powerful battle goddess who takes half of the souls slain in battle. Heather reminds me of Freyja in the way that you could think she's nothing more than a pretty faced charming woman, but you won't know you're in danger until there's a knife sticking out of your back. I think Skadi also fits Heather for the same reasons as Astrid, except that Heather is even more isolated and cold than Astrid is.

Dagur: Magni and Modi. I've seen others throw around various ideas for Dagur's god parent, but I don't think many people even know of Magni and Modi. They are the sons of Thor and are both battle gods, with Magni representing strength and Modi representing fury. They both resemble Thor and both brothers have red hair. Not a whole lot is known about Magni and Modi, but I know for a fact that they were revered by berserkers (the brothers have a place on my alter along with Odin and some animal totems). If I had to choose just one, I'd say Modi is Dagur's godly parent which would make Magni his uncle and Thor his gramps.

Viggo: Loki. Viggo may not share a lot of qualities with Loki, but he does share the aspect of Loki's silver tongue. Loki is very eloquent, charismatic, and deceptive like Viggo. In my experience, Loki is a god to approach with caution like the fae and is just as tricky. Viggo is very clever, capable of making his enemies do exactly what he wants.

Ryker: Vali or Vidarr. Both Vali and Vidarr are gods of vengeance and happen to be brothers, sons of Odin. I think Vidarr fits Ryker best. Vidarr is silent, much like how Ryker prefers to let Viggo do the talking and have his actions speak for him. Vidarr is nearly as strong as Thor and very reliable in times of trouble.

Prompt:

(Defenders of berk era)

Hiccup is captured by Dagur after the events of A View to a Skrill, then Alvin comes back and captures both of them. Trapped in the dungeons yet still defiant, Alvin decides to torture Hiccup until he trains his dragons and Dagur for trying to kill him.

Dagur however, had promised that no one would hurt Hiccup except him and takes Hiccup’s punishments and his own while Alvin makes Hiccup watch.

Oh ho ho ho, THIS is interesting... I'll take a crack at it and reblog this post with its link, Anon! Thanks!

@audriegreywind requested that I make a Nine Realms version of the "summarising every HTTYD movie/special/episode" post that I made ages ago so:

SUMMARISING EVERY EPISODE OF THE NINE REALMS

Tom: Jestem Hardkorem!

Tom almost gives a dragon food poisoning: The Episode

Oh, how I wish Tom and Jun had got Kentucky Fried Viggo'd during the Romantic Bootleg scene and we'd just never seen them again

THEY REALLY TOOK THAT "ENOUGH KETAMINE TO FLOOR A HORSE" COMMENT LITERALLY, HUH??

"It is NOT safe outside!" Well it doesn't look very safe inside either HOLY FUCK ALEX LOOK BEHIND YOU-

ARE THEY TRYING TO CAUSE MORE EARTHQUAKES?? THAT IS NOT HOW PLATE TECTONICS WORKS-

Rescue Riders was better.

IT'S FAT FUCK FRIDAY!!!!!

"I'll roam the Hidden World with the rest of these hideous whores!"

🚚 <( my main goal is to blow up )

Bootleg Silkspanners try to kill Bootleg Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way

Razorwhip absolutely BLAZING IT fr

Skrill leaving the Crystal Meth Realm like the soul leaving my body during my first watch of Return of Thor Bonecrusher

It would be really funny if they used the Monstrous Nightmare gel as an adhesive and then the gel got wet and absorbed the water and became flammable again and then Tom had got lit on fire in the Blaze-It Realm and he'd burned alive and died, I think that would be hysterical

We were gonna get shirtless Hiccup. We were gonna get shirtless ASTRID. We are DESPERATE to see shirtless Viggo. But THIS is what we get???

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate-

DeAngelo almost recreates the Austin serial bombings

The Hidden World is just Australia clearly

The Magma Breather caused the Norwegian Butter Crisis of 2011 after getting addicted to deep fried butter on a stick (confirmed)

Did they rip off Wings of Fire with these Moonwatcher 'n Winter lookin' hoes??

Cocaine Realm. That's it. That's the joke.

Competency? In the Incompetency Show? It's more likely than you'd think… but Watch Out.

Bruhhh we need whatever these kids were getting high on after this shitshow, I don't feel that it's morally right to even remind people that this episode exists

🙋‍♂️ I wanna teach Viggo how to ride "dragons" (Yes I did watch Audrie's reviews instead of the actual TV show in order to make this list, how did you know?)

MA! MA, THERE'S A FUCKIN' STRAY CAT OUTSIDE-

No.

Tom gets put on house arrest and breaks out in order to enter the Weed Realm

Quick, someone edit those Scuttleclaws fucking exploding

NO.

Genuine character growth in the Adult Baby Fetish episode… yeah checks out

Get Jumpscared, Idiot

🚁 🤸🏼‍♀️ <( gonna catch me ridin' dirty )

I won't be updating this list until Audrie posts her TNRS6 review because I'd rather wait and give her the views than go watch TNRS6 now and give Universal money.

Vorg's Commentary by Noctus Fury

After watching "A View to a Skrill" in Defenders of Berk, and saw this scene, I knew I HAD to make an edit! 😆

Watching Vorg's expressions as he tries to avoid getting hit by Dagur's exaggerated body movements is so entertaining and hilarious to watch. And what's even funnier is that I truly do suspect that Dagur was doing that intentionally! He's a sadist, after all. lol 🤣

I'm sure you guys noticed some references here and there from pop culture. 😉

This was very fun and I enjoyed making these! I hope you got as much of a kick outta them as I did. 🥰

Love you all, and hope you have a splendid week!

Long Live the Night!

I like that Security Breach Ruin has so many hoaxes, rn. It's like a 90's game, in here -- every copy of Ruin is personalized

Some fun hoaxes I've seen (YOU ARE ENTERING SPOILER TERRITORY, PROCEED AT UR OWN RISK X3):

"If you get under-par/a specific score in each hole/a hole in 1 in Gator Golf AR-cade, you can get Monty's Claws" You cannot ever get this item. I've heard people say that you can get a trophy/achievement for going under par, too, but I didn't get either? Also, I stg, there is at least 1 hole that is literally impossible to hole-in-1. I can accept that my inability to do it on hole 1 is a skrill issue, but I refuse to believe ANYONE can hole-in-1 the big spinny thing.

"There's a bowling arcade game in Bonnie Bowl" There is no bowling minigame -- they didn't finish it.

"You can collect animatronic parts/repair animatronics/get all items/etc for an alternate ending" There's just 3 endings, the only thing that decides which you get is whether you find the secret cams or go left or right on the 3rd series of turns at the end

"There's a 6th faztoken in Bonnie Bowl" I legit don't know if this is true or not, I have heard it several times but never seen the token, & it seems like Mr. Candy Cadet's story finishes after the 5th token, as he makes his air horn sound. Hard to imagine what a 6th coin would glean.

"There's a secret 4th ending" There's a 4th ending in the files, listed as "None," & it's most likely just a placeholder/to indicate a lack of ending (? My grasp on game development is too limited to properly describe this. In short -- no actual 4th ending)

"You can spare Roxy/you can press Esc instead of old yellering Roxy" To my knowledge, I don't think the game lets you leave that view until you hold E to do the deed? Even if it did, the game railroads you into offing the dog. Also, no previous actions/any objects in the room allow you to spare her. Door stays closed until you kill Rox'.

In general, Chica's Voice Box exists in the debug menu, but there's no Monty's Claws or Roxy's eyes. There's apparently a Monty's Photo, but nobody has been able to find it in-game? It seems as though repairing Chica is just an Easter egg that goes nowhere.

People seeing the leaked Funko merch (thanks again, Funko....) & thinking it would be for the DLC, which is par for the course, but is obviously untrue.

"If you get to the Bonnie room, you can revive him/give him Chica's Voicebox to fix him" You can only choose wether or not to deactivate the 4 Wet Floor bots.

I think this is fun stuff. Hoaxes are neat-o, especially bc they're a good vehicle to talk about the actual functions.

[spoopyspectralassassin]

This one’s mildly lazily coloured cuz it’s 4am, sorry.

This is my self insert for httyd/ygo and his dragon cuz httyd/ygo started as a silly thing in my head as an escape from reality.

Isaac: Isaac is basically just me, I am Isaac lol. He’s 15 because that’s how old I was when I first got the idea for this AU and he’s essentially just me being a huge nerd and going “this is what I wanna be with a few little twists”. He was raised by dragons from the age of 8 when he found a Night Fury that was shot down (totally not me stealing stuff from the httyd movies or anything) and has therefore learned how to understand dragons as if they were speaking to him in human languages. He wrote a sort of book of dragons so he could remember things about every dragon he met and knows a lot about dragon behaviour because he lived in a huge dragon nest similar to Valka’s bewilderbeast’s nest. He’s kind of a mix between Hiccup and Valka and spent the years he lived among dragons as a sort of vigilante freeing trapped dragons and helping other varying dragons in anyway he could which earned him respect amongst dragon kind. Because he was raised by dragons he is seen by dragons as another dragon rather than a human and people call him the Prince of Dragons because dragons respect him and listen to his commands in combat or in troubled situations. He met the ygo characters when he crashed in Neo Domino one day while testing a new flight style with Toothless and met Yusei who took him in and ended up forming a bond with him and adopting him as his son alongside Jack (hehe kingcrabshipping). He acts as an older sibling figure to Rua and Ruka who are also Jack and Yusei’s adopted children and Crow, Bruno and Kiryu act as their uncles. He is also seen as a part of the Arclight family (and its extensions which I’ll go into later) and is viewed as the Arclight brothers’ step-sibling.

Toothless: Toothless is a 15 year old Night Fury who was shot down and left to die in a forest but was found by Isaac who took pity on him and found a way to help him fly again. They then fled together and joined a nest of dragons who ended up respecting them both as leaders due to their behaviour. Due to events in the storyline, Toothless later becomes the Alpha of all dragons (yeah, like in the movies lol). Toothless is a playful and friendly dragon but if you dare try and harm any of his family he will not hesitate to take you down. He has a little heart shaped scale on his left ear which is one of his distinguishable little features. The tail he’s wearing in the above image is an automatic tail (which Yusei helped Isaac build. Also please pretend the gears or whatever are underneath or are just blending in very well) so he can fly alone like canon!Toothless could in the third movie. Toothless has a mate called Thunderstorm who is a Skrill/Night Fury hybrid and their relationship is based on the story of the two gay penguins (I forget what their names were, I think one was called Roy). This Toothless is named after the canon Toothless because the httyd movies do exist in httyd/ygo but they’re based on old texts and stuff rather than being purely fictional like they are in our reality and also because, just like me irl, Isaac is a huge httyd movie fanatic.

[itsadragonaesthetic]

So like... what's up with Day of Dragons?

I remember some vague drama from years ago but I barely remember what it was about. People don't seem to uh, share those views anymore as if nothing happened, and I'm wondering what changed? I was like "oh maybe there's some new people and idk ppl seem chill about the situation now. Maybe I'll see what it's about and maybe even play it" and uh... the designs are... unnerving to say the least... and no one has mentioned it at all. Several of the dragons are basically from the How to Train Your Dragon universe. Namely furies, skrills, monstrous nightmares, and storm cutters. Their designs are mildly different and their abilities are the same (the "fury" dragons can become invisible, the "nightmares" can set themselves on fire, the "skrills" have lightning powers)

Idk I think the game looks great and the sound design is amazing and I'd love to give it a shot but... the borderline plagiarizing designs throw me off (it wouldn't so much if the designers admitted to inspiration/being big fans and just wanted those dragons in this game. Its the idea of pretending the ideas are original that I don't like) and I remember there being such heavy drama that no one talks about anymore... idk I was just wondering if anyone could give me context.
