no magic httyd au where berk is a small town in 1910s europe preparing for the war effort but hiccup, son of the mayor, keeps ~mysteriously disappearing~ then coming back with new skills like increased flexibility and strength and endurance which put him at the top of his legion in training. astrid, previous top dog, takes issue with this. anyway long story short hiccup’s been training with a circus troop, and in the end the whole gang realises the futility of war, particularly the army, which had thus far been romanticised to them by government propaganda and run away with the dragon’s edge circus, who often take supplies to towns in need and help take refugees to safety and even launch guerilla attacks against occupying armies in the towns they visit. hiccup is a flying trapeze artist, astrid is a gymnast, snotlout is a strongman, the twins are a double clown act, fishlegs is a magician.
#httyd#circus au#early 1900s circus aesthetic my beloved <3#alternativley hiccup is a lion tamer and toothless is a lion idk#i just have such a vivid image of hiccup ‘taking astrid flying’ (teaching her some basic trapeze tricks) like in the movie#if heather was involved she’d be a fortune teller#the propaganda thing was based on australian WWl recruitment tactics which relied heavily on ‘the honour of war’ and such#but im not sure if thats applicable to europe tbh#but this is a tumblr post abt a 2010 kids movie abt vikings so like.
