Check out this heartwarming gif set from my favorite movie, "Dragon Rider" aka "Firedrake The Silver Dragon!"

man i feel bad for fans of the httyd movies who haven't seen the shows, especially race to the edge. like they don't know that the riders left berk and lived on an outpost together to go adventuring and fight dragon hunters as a team. they don't know that snotlout and astrid and fishlegs and the twins got character development. they don't know how cool and interesting the villains in the shows are compared to the movies. they don't know that the riders are filled with love and loyalty to each other and they bicker and train and play card games with each other and have sleepovers together and will risk their lives for their friends and their dragons in a heartbeat. imagine that.

Hiccup still gets a lot of criticism for his decisions in Httyd 2, but I feel like they make sense and it's because of the tv-shows.

He doesn't want to be chief?

Well, he just spent a whole year mapping the world outside of the Archipelago, that's a lot of freedom. So of course, he doesn't know who he is now and doesn't think his father's lifestyle fits with him.

And in that year, he almost did become chief when Stoick almost died. In that scene when Spitelout is sent out specifically to bring Hiccup home to succeed his dying father, they already call him chief! This, despite Hiccup's plea towards Spitelout to not say it.

Chiefdom for Hiccup means losing his father. (Which is exactly how he ended up becoming chief, too)

He thinks he can change Drago's Mind?

Of course, he does! Alvin switched sides, Dagur switched sides, Viggo saw dragons as something more. And let's not forget Stoick and his entire village, including Astrid and his friends.

In a way, he changed Mala's mind, too.

In a way, he changed the minds of the dragons about humans.

He tries to end a war by talking to a warmonger?

Again, of course, he does. He ended their war with the dragons, fought in a war with the Outcasts, then the Berserker, then the Hunters, then the Flyers.

Of course, he thinks he's just as capable of making the most responsible calls in war when he has fought in several ever since he was 15. This, although Stoick has decades more experience and actually met Drago before.

Not to mention that all of the bloodshed was on the side of the enemy, and RttE confirms this. Hunters and Flyers are dying in those battles.

If anything, Hiccup talking to Drago first is him giving Drago a chance to save himself and his men. Something Astrid pretty much confirms when she threatens Drago that he better not lay a hand on them or Hiccup and Toothless will blow his fleet to splinters.

Which, in the tv-shows, they do. And then Drago did end up dead at the end of the movie.

First time posting here 🏃 nightfury oc and his rider!

The fact that the Httyd gang knows about the effect of dragon nip but they are never seen using it on any dragons throughout the franchise unless it's like a last resort or an emergency to stop extremely out of control, hostile dragons. They know that grass is like a drug for the dragons so they never use it against them even to try and train them. As if it is against their moral code to try the easiest way to tame any dragon.

Like, these kids know all these little perks about dragons that Hiccup learned in the first movie. The dragon nip, eels, moving spot of light, specific disabling scratch spots etc. And none of them uses these to befriend or train any dragons throughout the course of the franchise! Dragon nip is an emergency last resort for when they encounter a super aggressive dragon, eels are an absolute no, nobody used shiny laser light spot on any dragons post Httyd 1.

No, they befriend the dragons with trust. They'll only give a dragon scratches after asking permission that is telegraphed in their body language.

The riders respect dragons and there are so many little subtle things which show how they never treat these incredible amazing beings as if they are animals, they always treat them as individuals. As equals.

I love Httyd so much like you have no idea.

I am a huge fan of this movie! And just to let you know, the movie is also known as "Dragon Rider."

There needs to be more low fantasy whump for Hiccup Haddock as a direct result from being the Dragon Master.

Like...

People trying to sacrifice him to appease some big dragon or maybe even a deity.

Any and all dragon problems are blamed on him, even if Hiccup was nowhere nearby.

Hiccup going from being outcasted for what he can't do to being outcasted for what he can.

Dehumanized.

Made to prove himself by facing dragons who 100% will not listen to a human.

Dragons who know of the Dragon Master and fearing the thought of a human with such control over them.

Someone with foreknowledge tries to make him bond with dragons before he even has those skills.

Prophecies.

Captured and used for his skills.

Captured and sold for his skills.

Captured and someone tries to "inherit" his skills through blood or straight up cannibalism. Like killing and eating your foes to get their strength. strenght

His blood and bones (or other parts) are considered cures for ailments or enhancements.

Believed to be fireproof.

Believed to be in league with something evil and needs to be exorcised/purified.

Believed to be a demon that needs to be killed.

Actually did die in his battle with the Red Death and something else woke up.

That something else is 100% convinced he's still Hiccup. (Because who else could he be?)

Cult captures him and believes he can bring this long-dead god of dragons back.

Cult captures him and believes he is that god.

Suitors that present themselves just to use his dragons.

Gifted dragon eggs that definitely had to come from somewhere.

Pressured to have kids to ensure that there's a Dragon Master for Berk even after him. (Especially if he's trans, because it's Valka who "gave it" to him, so obviously he'll automatically "give it" to his kids if he carries them himself.)

Kept from having kids because certain people don't want more Dragon Masters.

I was rereading dunmeshi and was reminded of the dryad lifecycle and I just. The amount of things in this manga that makes complete sense but also none at all. Keeps me awake at night tbh. Can’t get enough. What’s ur fav complete bonkers fact from the series?

No joke the first thing I remember questioning in dungeon meshi is the explanation for Falin always having her eyes closed, I was like "what do you mean she's always squinting cause shes near sighted, where's her glasses" meanwhile I was squinting at my screen without my glasses on.

Anyway, I think my favorite bonkers monster explanation is the Red Dragon, they click their tongues to ignite fuel, eat their prey whole so they produce pellets and use that for ignition too, all the dragons tbh, I had a major dragon phase when I was a teen so it's really satisfying seeing more animal-like Dragons that just make so much sense (even tho they're also absurd, as dragons are)

No one talk about how pretty Ruffnut actually is.

I know she doesn't fit the "beauty standard" like Astrid or Heather, but she is gorgeous. Really.

Tho I will say, watching Rider or Berk for the second time this past 2 months and having rewatched the second movie recently, I do miss how sharp her smile (and also Tuffnut's, but this isn't about him XD) was back then. Its definitely lessened with time. Her features aren't as sharp as before, and it almost made her cat like? Idk, I thought it was cute and wish they stuck with it XD.

But she still is so pretty and I love her so, so much!

I mean,

LOOK AT HER!!!

SHE'S GORGEOUS!!!!

The third image is my particular favourite, she looks ADORABLE!!!
