Why is it that I always forget that technically, Valka has a last name. She's always just gonna be Valka to me.

[univemma]

I have my problems with the hidden world, like many others. And i just want to gather all my thoughts in one place here because i feel like many agree that the ending itself isnt the problem, but how they did it. For me, personally, they ruined it with the reactions to the dragons leaving. Specifically, the reactions of the dragons.

First, we have Meatlug, who in the past has been shown thay merely HEARING FISHLEGS' VOICE causes her to become overwhelmed with excitement. (RTTE S2E9)

And yet here, she looks like this:

Like?? Not even a frown when she's leaving Fishlegs, who is clearly her favourite person in the world (literally watch ANY HTTYD media and this is made abundantly clear).

Moving on, we have Barf and Belch. Now it can be said that the twins and their dragon don't really have as many emotional dragon-rider moments as the others, but it is still clear that Barf and Belch love their riders. Except here:

The twins look DEVASTATED, meanwhile they (sorry belch is cropped here I couldnt get a ss with both in it) hardly look sad. Barf at least looks a little upset but still, its borderline.

And moving on, to perhaps what angers me the most, Snotlout & Hookfang. These two are easily my fav dragon-rider duo/team, and for many reasons.

Very quickly, allow me to take you back to RTTE S1E13, in which Hookfang goes out of his way to protect "Girl-Hookfang" and her eggs from a Titanwing Monsterous Nightmare when she sends out what Hiccup describes as a "distress signal".

When Snotlout tells Hookfang to choose between him and the dragon, he ultimately chooses defending her. But at the prospect of leaving Snotlout, he looks LIKE THIS:

He looked MISERABLE and even made sad little dragon noises (idk how to describe them im sorry). So,

TELL ME WHY

IN THE HIDDEN WORLD

HE LOOKS LIKE THIS

SNOTLOUT LOOKS LIKE HES LISTENED TO AN ENTIRE MITSKI ALBUM, BROS FUCKING SOBBING SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP.

And Hookfang hardly even looks at him, just kinda gives him a sideways glance. Like

HELLO???! And ONE OF THESE had a lower budget as a TV show AND a lower quality model (which, unrelated, ive seen some people really dislike but I think the show models are great!)

The only one to act somewhat appropriately is Toothless, who warbles and makes his little dragon noises at Hiccup, almost talking with him, they have their big heartfelt moment and their cute hug before he leaves. Because of course they get it, its Hiccup and Toothless.

And yeah i get it that clearly the dragons are sick and tired of hunters and therefore understand the need to leave. But they dont even look sad! Breaks my heart because after three movies, two tv shows and all the specials of the dragons and riders bonding and caring for each other and they don't even get a heartfelt goodbye.

And let us not forget that Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins, who have been riders since the FIRST MOVIE, and main characters in their own right for years, don't even get a GOODBYE LINE?? LIKE LITERALLY, Astrid and Valka? Absolutely, they deserve it. Gobber? Sure, he hasn't known grump nearly as long but he's been a relevant and important main character as long as the kids. And Eret-

Now, I love Eret. He's cool. He's great. Love a hunter turned rider.

But WHY DID THEY GIVE A LINE TO HIM AND SKULLCRUSHER (approx. 1 year relationship) OVER THE SIX YEARS OF FISHLEGS, RUFF, TUFF AND SNOTLOUT? THEY DONT EVEN GET A "Goodbye." WHAT.

And again thats not me shitting on Eret getting one, its on the others NOT

And this isnt even beginning to mention Valka and Cloudjumper do not START ME on their TWENTY YEAR FRIENDSHIP AND BOND BEING TORN APART IN A ONE MINUTE GOODBYE.

Anyways on a lighter note, the parallel with Hiccup removing his hand from Toothless in a reverse of the first time they touched all those years ago always gets me emotional. My fav part about the ending.

And that's pretty much all I like about it LMAOO

Do you have a HTTYD OC? What kind of dragon would you want? Have you invented your own dragons? What do you think about the Netfix series, does it count as canon? What's your OTP? What do you think is going to happen in the new movie?

Anon you’ve made my night cause I was actually thinking about HTTYD tonight cause it’s my go to when im sick or feeling bad. ^^ Surprisingly i do not have a HTTYD OC! I’ve never actually been great with making OCs thought i love my two dnd ocs to death. (I need to talk about Lyari and Sioni more lol) Though now that I actually have a few ocs I wouldn’t mind maybe making an oc! (Its also give me a chance to create my own viking cosplay to maybe take to ren fairs. ) I actually love the nexflix series! It’s much better than the Cartoon Network two season riders and defenders of Berk animation wise and writing wise. I think they had to play it too safe with the CN one and being able to be a Netflix show gave them a lot more potential. I have only seen 3 season somehow. but i plan on catching back up soon! I do think they hold a lot of canon elements! I wish they could tie more things in to the movies, but i totally get how hard that could be seeing as they made the series after the second movie (just like they made the Cartoon network series after the first movie) I would have loved to see Dagur or Heather as part of the main series cast! Hey Dreamworks.. Please don’t forget my Deranged Children please? I love them too much. For dragons? Honestly its too hard to choose! I would love to work with multiple ones! I think I would really want a Stormcutter though! I love Cloudjumper and his mannerisms! I think it would be really cool :) And OTP? My favorite is actually the crossover ship Hijack (Hiccup and Jack Frost from RoTG) And i honestly miss the hijack fandom XD I love Stoick and Valka! and from the Show i really like Dagcup (after the first two seasons)  and Heastrid  (I dont know what their ship name is? Astrid and Heather) I really dont have many other pairings i like (im sorry i have a lot of problems with hicstrid) the movie im so excited for but also terrified because i heard that it is going to be dealing with “the last of the dragons”. i think they may age the cast up again, which would be really cool tbh. i loved seeing the cast grow and i feel like its the right decision. i would LOVE more backstory on Stoick! and Valka! and Gobber! i wanna know how they were like as kids and teens, what kind of troublw did they get into? (DREAMWORKS PLEASE) Though i know it probably will never happen. i have a feeling that Astrid may start leading as chief a little more, I know Hiccup will want to honor his dad and lead, but theres no way he can be kept n one place for the rest of his life, espeically only being 20! Its just not like him.

At that point in life where I'm crying watching the HTTYD movies
