Am I the only one who feels like HTTYD isn't as memeable as Shrek or KFP? I know we have "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." and the famous dancing Toothless, but that one was really from a parody recap. Other than that, I really don't see a lot of memes from it.

I think that means HTTYD is successfully doing its job with the type of narration it intends.

There are comedic lines like "talking fishbone" and "thanks for nothing, you useless reptile" that fandom has parroted since the early days. There's Hiccup encouraging Toothless while the Light Fury looks aghast as a meme template. And fandom can find anything to josh with, be it Hiccup's hot froglegs in HTTYD 2, or Hiccup's love affair with scrap metal from RTTE, or throwing everyone in the dungeon who made a Stoick joke (I am DATING my time in the fandom here, y'all). There will always be moments we play with, as it were.

But HTTYD, while funny, is built on heart. Shrek and KFP have heart, too (especially KFP), but they're built around different vibes (especially Shrek). Shrek was an intentional, abrupt, genuinely shocking aberration from animated fairy tale movies. For people who weren't around when it happened, there's a REASON it was a HUGE, rocking sensation and has become part of permanent culture. Meanwhile, KFP is a comedy action. HTTYD, at its core, is the story of a boy and his dragon, and a boy and his dad. I wouldn't expect fan response or general societal response to respond to these different frameworks the same way.

When audiences think about the impact of HTTYD, they aren't thinking about the pleasurable absurdisms that lead to "You're tearing me APART, Lisa!" or "I don't like sand" (which actually, for the record, I think is an unironically good character scene, sue me).

You ever watch a movie where they try soooo hard to be meme-able? Or they're throwing in jokes at places they shouldn't? I'm not not not saying it happened here, but one of the things I think THW could've improved was by reducing the number of gags it tried to run - while competing for time to emotionally conclude a sweeping trilogy. Sometimes it's not the place for a movie to have the content that'd make it meme-able. HTTYD's always been funny, yeah, and that's part of the franchise's charm. But different types of funny bring different audience results, and you ain't gonna beat Shrek when it comes for appropriate humor vibes for memes.

I could be forgetting a ton in my sleep-deprived state. But I'd agree it's not as meme-able as Shrek, one of the most meme-worthy pieces of media to exist. It means both have their place in the ecosystem of movies, and it makes both of them fantastic for what they are.

loved the last chapter of fatted rabbit and the alt meeting 🥹 both had me thinking about what if a pair of random hikers accidentally ran into bunny and bear form!john hanging out one time on the trails (post bunny finding out & probably non canon)?

Hi Stelle! Tysm for both the ask and the nice words abut Fatted Rabbit :) hope you like!

I'm gonna say this one takes place almost directly after the last ask just because I'm having fun picking on these granola guys.

SFW, but please MDNI

The afternoon finds you both snuggled up well off the beaten path. Once it had been clear John wasn't going to leave you alone today, you'd let him lead you to a small hideaway clearing where he'd seemed confident enough in your privacy to flop onto his back and demand belly rubs. You've learned he's shameless in this form, happy to debase himself to dog-like behavior provided it earns him scritches. You never mind, but he always ends up falling asleep, which inevitably leads to him snoring loud enough to shake the trees. 

"I'd been planning on getting some reading done today," you gripe, but it's hard to stay mad at him when he rolls onto his tummy and sploots. "Froglegs," you tease, poking at the pads of his closest foot. He grumbles and kicks halfheartedly, but doesn't wake up. 

The clearing is just large enough to accommodate full sun plants like daisies and wheat grasses. Deciding on a new way to spend your day, you pick yourself a mess of them and get to work braiding the stalks into a big, thick chain. It's hard to gauge how long you'll need to make it, but John doesn't seem to mind you tugging at his neck fat so long as you scratch his chin when he starts to wake up. You've got the collar tied off and are just started to thread mane-like fern decorations into it when a gasp at the edge of the clearing has both you and John whipping your heads around in caught-out shock.

"What the fuck?" The short hiker from earlier whispers and you scramble away from John as he lumbers to his feet, shaking stray brush and dust from his coat. The collar hangs limply from his neck, a pathetic little testament to just how long you've been messing with this bear.

"Get away from that thing!" The tall one this time, stutter stepping his way to you while keeping a wary eye on the bear. His companion fumbles with a strap on the side of his pack and you panic.

"It's fine! Uh… It's um. He's rehabilitated." Three pairs of eyes turn to you and steadfastly refuse to shrink under the study.

"Huh?" Mr. Bearspray finally prompts and the moment shatters with it. The tension eases from you quickly, well-adept at lying your way out of consequences after years with Phil.

"Yeah! It's uh… This is Bobo -." John huffs indignantly but you carry on over him, "- he's a rehab from a local wildlife shelter. He grew up in captivity. I mean, clearly. Look at the size of him. Definitely had consistent feedings growing up, am I right? Anyway, he's very friendly!"

The men exchange frowns. One of them reaches for his breast pocket.

"I'd really appreciate some discretion here!" At John's chirp, you realize your voice has ratcheted too high to be believable so you clear your throat, try again. "I mean… he's supposed to be rehabbed, right? I'm not supposed to be visiting him. But, like… cuddly bear, you know? Who could blame me?"

The tall one looks absolutely mortified by this prospect, but the other tilts his head as if in consideration.

"You wanna come pet him? I assure you he's safe." The look John gives you makes it clear exactly what he thinks of that, but you refuse to even acknowledge the possibility that an animal is sending you communicative expressions by maintaining direct, borderline unhinged, levels of eye contact with the man you're currently trying to persuade into petting a wild bear.

"We're good," the stick in the mud asserts, but the shorter one has already shrugged, stepping cautiously closer. "What're you doing?"

"Dude, it's got a fuckin' flower crown on, how dangerous can it be?"

His companion sighs, snatches the bear spray from the other's pack nimbly. Shakes it at you. "If I find out that bear has no teeth or something equally heinous, I'm reporting you to every governing body in the state."

John returns the favor by baring his - very intact - teeth.

"He's just playing," you assure the approaching man. To prove your point, you attempt a growl right back and are delighted when John plays along by - gently - gnashing his teeth at you. "See? Like a dog." You stick your hand in John's mouth to prove a point and both men visibly relax when the bear simply tries excising the intrusion with a firm push of its tongue.

You both hold your breath as the man steps close enough to scratch at John's ears, sighing deeply when the big bastard accepts the touch with little more than a huff. "Soft," the hiker comments and you hum in agreement. "Dude, come feel."

"I'm good."

John chuffs as if pleased with that response and you bite back a giggle.

He continues to be a good sport for as long as it takes the visitors to be satisfied. You pet him soothingly and field questions far outside of your depth of knowledge re: bear rehabilitation (seriously, if these guys ever do even an ounce of research, you're fucked), but eventually the guys do clear out when you make a big show out of needing to head out. 

"Want company back to base?" one offers and John growls ominously.

"No, thank you," you assure, shooing them along. "I'm sure I'll just slow you down." You pat your belly self-deprecatingly, but the laugh it earns is a smidge too cruel for your taste.

"Alright, see you around," the tall one says before they trek off and you frown after them while John huffs irritably, scratching his considerable claws into the soil beneath him.

"You're right, that was rude," you drawl, fingers contradictory as you smooth the remnants of your stupid flower crown off his pelt. "You should eat him for me."

A/N Hey, it feels weird to draw the line here - in a series full of doing stupid shit with bears - but for real, don't pick wild plants! Especially if you're in a park/at a high altitude. Even if it's "just grass/weeds", the alpine-arctic ranges recede every year and we're losing key species like sedges, flaxes, and reed grasses! The vegetation you see at 10k feet is not the same as what's at base. I'd make a joke about ruining some yuppie's garden instead if you really must pick plants, but I'm not joking. Leave no trace, but also leave it like you found it. On a different note, I used to have a great dane which was a rescue situation and he had some behavioral issues but his absolute kill switch was if I put my hand in his mouth. He'd immediately sit right on his ass and just try to softly push my hand out with his big stupid tongue, it was so weird. The speed at which he went from kill mode to "Oh my god, I almost hurt mom" was truly admirable, though.

next>>

Anyway, feel free to send in requests for these two! I'll probably never get tired of writing for them :)

An idea that's lived rent free since 2019

The run down is it's basically following spiderverse sorta

• Atsushi is an adopted orphan with artistic skills who's entering high-school at the start of his puberty (Miles)

• Kunikida is a competent Spiderman from another universe that jumps into Atsushi's universe (Spiderman B but the characteristics are switched)

• Chuuya is a Spiderman of his universe who's manipulated into temporary assassin (he's the Spider-Noir of his universe)

• Akutagawa is a detective of his universe turned into forced assassin (idea I had)

• Oda is a tired-stinky competent Spiderman of Atsushi/his universe (Spiderman of Miles' Universe)

• Lucy is a spiderman of her universe who ran away from home and ended up in Atsushi's universe, keeping distance and close to her only friend Anne (Spiderwoman/Gwen)

• Kenji Froglegs and Kyouka Bunny are animal Spiderman of their universe who work as a team (Peter Porker if there was two of them)

• Dazai is an assassin from another universe that jumps into Atsushi's universe, hired to get a job done (Prowler was going to be Gide originally lol)

• Ranpo is a mech Spiderman from another universe (Peni Parker)
