#have Snotlout

[elshe]

I’m going to hop on the “what if Hiccstrid had Zephyr during rtte” bandwagon, and shamelessly contribute to what has caused my devastating brainrot these past few weeks, cause it’s just. so. good.

Can you imagine all the reactions and conflicts?!??

Not to mention the SCANDAL jk😩

my bebe boy Snotlout takes any opportunity to tease Hiccup about it, because, really, it is sooo funny.

might write a whole fic on it fr fr

That Hiccup angst is just— mmm… *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻

[fsheryy]

lack of posting can be attributed to these freaks. you know what to do boys

[thereweredragonshere]

Could we see Twinkcup's height compared to his friends'?

This is a daily thing he has to put up with. At least he’s taller than Snotlout.

[foolish-rat]

Friendly reminder that there was a point in time during the development of HTTYD where they considered making Snotlout a girl

[blep-23]

Each time a read about Spitelout I have more and more hate for him.

I was looking for Snafflefang references and saw that Spitelout rides one in THW?? Which means that his talk about an old sword going dull and getting a new one in RoB was actually serious and his Nadder, Kingstail, probably got the old sword treatment

WAIT.... STFU WHAT

my httyd shows tidbits post is still getting notes so what the hell. here's part two of canon tidbits confirmed in the shows that people who've only seen the httyd movies should know:

the shows are quite a bit more gay than the movies. nothing canon but we get many more gay jokes and. um. subtext? i'll call it subtext. courtesy of snotlout

fishlegs has an alter ego called thor bonecrusher. this is related to the above point.

snotlout acts sexist on a woman-only island so they threaten him with cannibalism. lol.

hiccup draws sketches of his friends in his notebook :]

the shows delve into the relationships between all the riders and their dragons, not just between hiccup and toothless. snotlout decides to never ride a dragon again when hookfang runs away. the twins get extremely depressed when barf and belch stop hanging out with them. astrid nearly dies trying to save stormfly from dragon hunters. they all love their dragons so much.

rtte shows how stoick met skullcrusher and how gobber met grump

valka, drago and a bewilderbeest all make cameo appearances in rtte

snotlout has been hit by lightning three times on-screen. he says hes been hit by lightning a total of twelve times though (which would make fourteen counting the times after he said that)

snotlout canonically has nightmares about being left behind and abandoned by the other dragon riders.

tuffnut gets attached to things very easily. he had an obssession with a mace he called macey and a chicken called chicken, the latter of which talked to him in a feminine, sultry voice when he was hallucinating. i am not making this up.

the twins, hiccup and snotlout can all sing to varying degrees of skill, as evidenced in rtte's musical episode

hiccup once had a no good very bad day where he got kidnapped by three or four people in less than 24 hours.

fishlegs' middle name is justin, tuffnut's is laverne, and ruffnut's is eugene

boar pit.

So so so endearing to me how despite Hookfang being the largest and most intimidating of the gangs’ dragons he’s also so gentle towards hatchlings and the most protective over eggs and nests like it’s so sweet…

Important Information™️ for my modern au

[jackshiccup]

affectionate chin tilts my beloved.. (perhaps in the same universe as my college/long distance au)

[asphodeline-lutea]

Every time I reread Book 11 I can’t help but stare at this line

“He has not yet lost someone he loves”

This is… the only time Hiccup the Third actually used the word “love” to describe his feelings for Snotlout

The emotion here… I can’t even find the words

This is painful

[saturnniidae]

More dragon rider disability headcanons for disability pride month!

(Ones specifically abt Hiccup are here)

Ruffnut has hypermobile EDS (when the twins were doing some bit that was basically Guinness book of world records she said smth abt 'worlds stretchiest skin' and my mom made a joke and said 'ruff has eds!' And it stuck)

A joke Ruffnut loves to make is saying Tuff is so insufferable she should just run away to join a circus and become a contortionist. She thinks it's the funniest thing ever

Hiccup also has some weird hypermobility stuff going on, when Ruff learns this she calls him a fellow circus freak (affectionate) and offers to let him come with her when she runs away. The response she got was "I'd rather stick my hand in Fenrir's mouth."

Tuff is visually impaired in his right eye from a childhood injury (another joke taken seriously)

All the riders are neurodivergent!

Snotlout has a frequently irregular heartbeat as well as memory issues due to how many times he's been struck by lightning. His whole book he wrote in that one episode isn't the only writing he does, he keeps a notebook to help keep track of minor things he might forget.

Astrid tries to make Hiccup breakfast in bed when he's having bad pain days and is too tired to do it himself. She almost burns the house down every time, so Toothless will go and get the other riders to help out while Astrid is kicked out of the kitchen and sent back to bed

Hiccup can be really fucking mean sometimes! Usually it's intentional bc he's in a bad mood and wants to be left alone. If it's seemingly unprovoked though, the others know it as a sign he's likely in pain and needs to be left alone (he still insists on getting work done but usually Toothless annoys him into resting)

Astrid has aches in her leg from when she got shot with that arrow, it being poisoned with dragon root did something to mess up the healing process so its worse than other old injuries (Dragon root isn't poisonous to humans but still having it in your blood stream isn't a good idea). She's also very mean when she's in pain, especially because it ruins her schedule since she can't train. Eventually her and Hiccup come to an agreement when they're having bad pain days they'll meet up in one of their huts and just. Sit together enjoying the others comforting presence but rarely talking

This is because Hiccup and Astrid both hate being in pain in front of people, they both share that almost extreme fear of vulnerability and the best they can do is take comfort in each other

Hiccup and Fishlegs are hyperfixation buddies! Fishlegs is the only one who doesn't get mad (it's just fond exasperation) when Hiccup wakes him up in the middle of the night to infodump, they just bounce off each other talking about dragons until woah suddenly the sun is rising and that is when Fishlegs gets upset because he values his sleep

All the riders have burn scars of varying severity. They literally work with dragons there's no way they wouldn't. And they all deal with their pain in different ways, but are unwavering supportive of each other when they can be

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a lot of characters should be disabled.

I know, cartoon logic and all, but the things that happen to these guys are things that should affect them for the rest of their lives. And watching characters struggle with permanent change like that, the realization you can never go back to how things were, and eventually healing and learning that's okay! You can still find happiness and be happy and it doesn't make your pain any less valid! It's so important to me and that's obviously reflected in my interpretations of my favorite characters lmao

Dragon Lover = Cat Lover

They’re simultaneous.

So here I have the gang trying to lure a cat into their clubhouse with a fish. 💀 I think it’s a cute idea that they were all eating dinner as usual when Tuff pointed and said, “look it’s a cat!” and everyone got excited lol

[bluejulius]

they had a fight

bonus + sketch;

[neztune]

Do you ever think about how not all of the dragons may be the same age as the main riders? Because we know dragons grow quickly, and Valka pointed out that Hiccup and Toothless are the same age (which helps them get along so much better)

But the dragons for the other riders could all be different ages, because what are the odds of them all being the same age? Not to mention that we don't know how long all of the other dragons were kept in the arena cages before they were finally free and able to connect to the others.

So, I was trying to think about how old the other dragons could be, and it's entirely up for play... personalities also clearly range a lot, but I think it would be fun if Meatlug was a little bit of an old soul, but not quite enough that she's ready for Vanheim anytime soon. She still gets a good deal of time with Fishlegs, and enjoys finally getting to spend those years with someone who pampers her so much.

Barf and Belch could be younger, more easily persuaded by Ruff and Tuff's antics, and so much more willing to jump into that chaos. They're not too fresh into dragon term adulthood, but they're still pretty young.

Stormfly and Hookfang were a little more difficult to me, but with how much they look after other dragons, as well as their interactions with Astrid and Snotlout, I like to think that Hookfang is just a little bit younger than Snotlout. I was also playing around with him being older, but I think I'm settling with the few years younger. Stormfly, on the other hand, is a little bit older, or about the same age as Astrid.

Again, this is entirely up for people to play around with, and this is just what I've settled with... but it's definitely fun to think about!

Some warm up sketches cause I have a whole lot of ideas for HTTYD illustrations/fanart but I need to remember how to draw these guys. (Hiccups hair is so baffling to me to figure out the shapes and have it look right)

My sister and I have very suddenly decided to rewatch the spin-off shows for HTTYD (not that weird new one, just the ones set in between the first two movies)

I love so much how they expand on the dragon lore but also on the side characters!! Ive got my things about the shows I’d critique, but overall it’s just such a good time.

Also I first watched RTTE in highschool (I remember finding it, binging all the episodes available in a night and being left right at the cliffhanger in season 3) and I was embarrassed about it. I think mostly because the animation style is visibly cheaper than the movies? So it looks more made for children (I mean the target audience still is kids, but also probably young teens so me at the time) (also watching it now despite the budget limits I’m loving the lighting in particular) (rtte improved visually a lot over RoB especially.)

It’s always fun to go back to the things you liked when you were younger and maybe embarrassed but then it’s like “oh actually I had good taste sometimes this is fucking great”

Thinking of Dire Straits for fic reasons once again, but from the perspective of the Dragon Riders.

They watched Hiccup (and Toothless) disappear into the depths of the ocean in what was basically an inescapable cage. And that after rushing to his rescue in vain. They had to stay up on that boat, wait and hope for the best and it's not like Hiccup came up quickly either. In the episode itself it took only a little bit, but in actuality, Hiccup stayed under long enough for the diving bell to fill up completely, for him to run out of breath (not that shouting at Toothless in warning helped), to pass out, and to also stop breathing!

And things weren't much better when the Submaripper brought him back to them either. He came back to them unconscious. He needed to be freed and carried out. Astrid begged him to breathe! And luckily, he did start to breathe again on his own (stimulated by Toothless licking him probably!) because it's not like Vikings know CPR! Not these ones at least. But even after he was up on his feet, Hiccup was weak and hurting, Fishlegs had to hold him up on his feet.

Dire Straits was a nightmare for them! The closest they'd ever come since the Red Death to losing Hiccup. No wonder they were angry enough that they just wanted to blast Viggo and Ryker to oblivion if not for those Seashockers.
