Am I the only one who thinks that Merida and Hiccup would probably make a pretty good friend duo?

I think they might get along pretty well. I’d also love to see Runaway Hiccup getting along with Fergus. Merida asks Hiccup if he’s ever argued with his mom like she did in the past (and still does, but not as often), and he hits her with the “I never knew my mother”.

I want Hiccup standing in the snow all like “Oh, this is nice weather” while Merida is in some comically large coat all like “Did the logical side of your brain get frostbite or something?! It’s fucking freezing!”. I want them teaching each other their languages to overcome the barrier.

I want Hiccup looking at the tapestry of Merida and Elinor as a bear, then making a quick sketch of him and Toothless to show Merida. It’s a bit of a misunderstanding, but the feeling is close enough to being mutual. Like “Hey, look, I have a non-human friend too!”

Or Fergus sounding like Stoick making Hiccup randomly pause, but the way he acts is so different. Fergus is a lot nicer to him as a friend. If we follow the events of the first movie instead of Runaway Hiccup or if Hiccup lost his leg in a dragon raid after he ran away, then Fergus genuinely curious about how it happened, but knows that not everyone is okay talking about it like him and doesn’t press. He’ll gladly tell the story of how he lost his own leg, though, if you recall the dinner scene from Brave.

On that account, if they ever tell him how Mor ’Du finally died, Merida and Fergus will practically brag about how Elinor showed an entirely different side and it was the first time they’d seen her that mad protecting Merida. Seriously, she took the term “mama bear” to a literal level and used those claws. You could feel the protective rage through the screen.

Another sub-topic I’d like to bring up is that you can hear one of the clan leaders sarcastically say “Maybe it was carried off by a dragon”. I love that because it hints at the idea that the kingdom doesn’t actually believe in dragons. At least not everyone. So Hiccup’s stuck between proving that they’re real and keeping up the facade.

Also, there are lines in Brave hinting at the kingdom not getting along with Vikings. So imagine if in the early days, Merida handed him a viking hat to try to confirm if he really was one. She still doesn’t understand a word of what he’s saying, but the disgust on his face when he threw the helmet and the anger in his voice when he next spoke was enough to understand.

“I’m not one of them.”

Drunk Hiccup: I just miss my best friend right now. He’s outside, in the forest, and he’s not here! *proceeds to cry his eyes out*

Fergus: I… think you’ve had enough.

Elinor: Fergus.

Fergus, carrying a very confused, semi feral Hiccup: What? We’ve already got four kids, what’s one more?

Merida: Little brother or big brother?

Hiccup: Excuse me?

Merida: Are you my new little brother or big brother?

Hiccup: Wait, wait, wait am I being adopted??? What’s happening??

I’m claiming that Stoick, Valka, Elinor, and Fergus are in a polycule now because hyuck you….

in truth my parents are separated and with the four of them combined reminding me of both my parents I’m allowed to have the fantasy of them being together in love okay

Penelope and Odysseus remind me of Fergus and Elinor from Brave.

The power she holds in a room full of men and a husband that would kill for her is something I can't get enough of.

I think that Frederic would be a nice, soothing presence vs. Fergus' loud boisterous attitude.

Fergus: Oh dear gods, dragons are real! Get behind me! I’ll—

Hiccup: *already petting said dragon* No thanks, I’m good.

If HTTYD and Brave had a crossover, would Stoick offer his own son to Merida to wed off and make peace for previous viking men invading their lands?

Fergus wouldn't trust his word at first and the dragons make him more uneasy. "THEY stay in the stables! Aye even the wee black fella! Go on, get him out of our halls."

Toothless growling, at Fergus' lack of hospitality but Hiccup insisted they follow the Kings commands until he warms up to the vikings.

Pfft! Toothless be like "Fine! Be that way, ugly bear-man!"

Fergus: I’m actually really proud of how calm you were during that fight.

Varian: Thanks.

Varian: I was having 6 mental breakdowns and they pretty much canceled each other out.

Fergus: … Oh. Oh no.
