Here's another concept for Broken Horizon - a dragon pilot saddle! Ft. Alex as the model (and Riptide as the pilot, even if you can't see his face)

Modern saddles were jointly developed by dragons and humans post-war to make dragon riding safer and flying more precise, as regular reins and voice commands quickly became obsolete.

In these saddles the control sticks on the pilot's seat transmit inputs to the steering modules, which are then interpreted into nerve impulses for the dragon to follow. However they are not hard commands, and the dragon can still choose to ignore the impulses for any reason. This means that the dragon and the pilot must have an incredibly strong trust bond for the best performance.

i will never understand how or why the httyd movies did the books such an injustice.

the movies aren't even an adaptation - they stole the name of the series, the name of some of the characters and places, and the general idea that there are dragons. honestly, i would be fine with the movies and maybe even like them if they didn't capitalize off of cressida cowell's incredible books that never get any credit.

the books are an amazing story about the cycle of violence and how vengeance and revenge is dangerous. hiccup says that the past is a ghost story, one we need to learn from to better ourselves. the books are about how everyone deserves freedom, how every creature, every being on the earth deserves to be free. we see that in the slavemark, with the dragons.

and like... hiccup is so different. they did him a severe injustice. he's scrawny and intelligent and learned to talk to dragons simply by observing them! he chooses kindness first above all else; instead of yelling at toothless to train him, he is kind. and in the end, that kindness is why toothless chose to save him. bc even toothless himself says that dragons are inherently selfish creatures who care only for their survival. hiccup is brave - his beliefs differ drastically from both the vikings and the world.

hiccup is a child who chose to do the right thing even at the expense of himself. he agreed to free the slaves on nobert's ship, and in return, they gave him the slavemark which is easy to give but cannot be removed. he was like twelve. and having the slavemark means he cannot be with his tribe or his family, it means he isn't considered a human being anymore. and he keeps it a secret for awhile until it's revealed and when it is everyone turns their backs on hiccup. his family, his tribe, his mentor, people he TRUSTED. everyone except fishlegs, and, once she got over the shock, camicazi. he was thirteen. and even when he lost his memories and was really injured, he persisted. he was told to go to tomorrow and to save the dragons and he did bc in his heart he knew it was right even though he didn't know who he was or how he got there.

and fishlegs,,, oh my god FISHLEGS!!! the did him SO DIRTY!!! fishlegs is hiccup's best friend, one of the main motivators for hiccup. he steals norbert's potato for the sake of fishlegs, he gives fishlegs his dragon and goes to retrieve another, he takes the blame for fishlegs. and fishlegs does the same for him. he takes the slavemark with pride. he refuses to turn. he gives hiccup his lobster claw necklace which is his most prized possession. he is brave for hiccup, he believes hiccup is alive. he fights for hiccup harder than anyone else ever has. he does not turn. his is loyal, has allergies, has asthma, has a squint and a limp, has glasses bc he's blind without them... and he's still a hero despite being a runt, despite everyone even the adults telling him he's hopeless, telling hiccup to leave him behind.

and they cut camicazi! i'm sorry, but astr*d is nothing compared to camicazi. camicazi is a tiny, feral child who can easily best hiccup, fishlegs, and pretty much anyone in a sword fight. she can bring a grown man to tears with her rudery and smack talk. she is recklessly brave and craves adventure and follows hiccup blindly bc she trusts him that much. she isn't in love with hiccup - in fact she doesn't care about romance and love. she gives up everything to help hiccup bc she has a strong sense of justice. she is the motivator, the cheerleader, she finds a positive in everything. she never gives up. literally never gives up. and that's one of the most inspiring things about her: she always has hope.

and toothless! god!!! toothless is *thought to be* a common or garden dragon. he is horrifically tiny, he is literally toothless, and is the biggest brat in the world. he will cause problems on purpose. he has a stutter, he's the most selfless selfish dragon around. he and hiccup can talk to each other. he masks his fear with singing and being annoying. his growth is remarkable. he starts off refusing to obey hiccup, doing the opposite of what he says, making life harder for literally everyone around him, and he's still somewhat like that. but he's also braver, more caring, more willing to make sacrifices for the sake of others. he's clever, which he needs to be to make up for his size and aggression. he protects hiccup with everything he has, therefore, he protects what hiccup cares about just as hard. he was the only dragon that didn't abandon the vikings in the first book bc he cared about hiccup.

and snotlout,,, god,,, i will never forgive the movies for butchering snotlout. hiccup's cousin, the bully character, the one who is horrifically jealous that hiccup's dad was born before his. the one who desperately wants to prove himself, to be worthy, to make people proud. and you hate him, you despise him. he betrays everyone many times bc of the nothing promised to him by alvin and his mom. he loses himself, turns his back on himself, all bc he wants to prove himself. all bc he wants to be better than hiccup. and hiccup still forgives him and gives him chances, sometimes out of pity, but also bc snotlout is his cousin. he can't just turn his back on him no matter how miserable snotlout made his life. and in the end, snotlout sacrifices himself for hiccup. he gives up his life for hiccup in one last attempt to set things right. his death and the events preceding it are one of my absolute favorite moments in the book. gives me chills. makes me cry.

that's the thing with the books - they're so realistic. there is no inherently happy ending where everything works out. the first book begins with "there were dragons when i was a boy", implying that they're gone now. the books show there are consequences to our actions. they enslaved the dragons, they fought against them during the dragon rebellion all bc alvin and his mom said to, and now they're gone bc a simple apology doesn't fix hundreds of years of enslavement. and the only way for the world to move forward was for the dragons to leave and heal on their own. and now they have to learn to live without them. and yeah i've heard the third movie ends like that but. it doesn't have the build up. it doesn't have "there were dragons when i was a boy". it doesn't have eleven books of development to back it up, to make it feel meaningful.

i know that the movies are really special to a lot of people. i know that, on their own, they're genuinely good movies. i can acknowledge that the soundtrack is amazing and the animation is beautiful. i just can't see past the way they butchered the world that i love, the world that i grew up with. i can't see past the way people yelled at me for saying i liked the books better, the way that people gave me weird looks when i showed them a picture of the original toothless, when i tell them that nightfuries aren't even a type of dragon. cressida cowell created hundreds of different dragons, and the movies couldn't even pick from that. i can't forgive the way that barely anyone knows there are books bc the movie barely gives credit to them. i cannot forgive the way they capitalized off the books and then shoved them aside. i know cressida thinks they're good movies and i know a lot of httyd book fans also like them. but i just... i cannot get over how much they changed and how they missed so much and ignored the books. also they got rid of camicazi so hiccup could have a love interest and that is unforgivable to me.

if you disagree, that is a-okay. we're all entitled to our own opinions. i just ask that you, perhaps, try the books out. give them a chance. bc they're amazing works of art and also just like. don't yell at people who don't like the movies? whether it's bc they prefer the books or just aren't into that kind of movie. and just remember that dreamworks didn't come up with the story; cressida cowell did.

I LOVE the way you drew ryomina they are soooo 🥺💖🥰🥺🥺🥰🥰🥺🥺💖💖

Curious, I would love to know if you have more personal headcanons for them! I love your art of Minato wearing glasses

Good luck in uni!!!! Hope you have an amazing day/night ^^

THANK YOU ANON :D !!!!!

and yes I have a few more hcs !! thanks for asking hehe now i get to ramble >:)

I have some hcs regarding fashion and such !! I've kinda been thinking about this a bunch ever since I made those casual outfits for ryoji

-ryoji loves expressing himself through fashion, he really enjoys experimenting with clothes and discovering his style

-he likes going on shopping outings with yukari (minato has been dragged along a lot as well) (yukamitsu ryomina double shopping dates !!)

-ryoji's a big fan of yellow and also just any bright colours that go well with it. he's a bright and colourful boy :>

-minato never really cared much about fashion or style, a t-shirt is usually just good enough for him (his style is just. if its comfy and it looks nice then its good) and he's not a fan of bright colours or anything that makes him stand out too much. ryoji's been trying to get him to experiment a bit

and here's some of my more general hcs for them ^_^

-ryoji's a lot quieter when its just him and minato and minato smiles more around ryoji (minato is completely unaware of how much he smiles in ryojis presence and he'll get a lil embarrassed if someone points it out)

-minato's sleepy and tired all of the time. chronically sleepy (<- lol). god's sleepiest soldier. but he feels super comfortable having naps around ryoji. sleeping when he's nearby just feels safe.

-if ryoji and minato are hanging out at the dorm together, there is a fairly high chance that minato will end up asleep.

-also i like to imagine that if the two of them have a movie night at the dorm, they'll both end up asleep by the end with koromaru all cosied up with them too (<- i should draw this sometime)

-minato's super introverted. while he loves spending time around the ppl he cares about, he only has so much energy for socialising. ryoji is the one person minato can spend all his day around without draining the social battery

-also minato's a pretty quiet guy, he's a man of little words. he prefers to listen to people, rather than be the one leading the conversation. and bcs ryoji and mina know eachother like they know themselves, they don't always need to communicate verbally. I like to think they spend a lot of their time sitting in comfortable silence together

-ryoji's super fascinated and interested by all the simple joys in life. whenever he's out with minato he'll point out things like pretty flowers, birds, the way the clouds look. and they'll stop to admire the sunset if they're out late. and of course minato takes a lot of interest in the things ryoji points out to him :>

also i hc ryoji as bi and minato as greyromantic ace ^_^ !! ryoji and minato's relationship is something so much more than a typical romantic relationship to me

[the-crimson]

So many people have already talked about and analyzed the layers to Tina and bbh’s conversation last night because it was so damn insightful into both bbh and Tina but I wanna talk about something else. I’ve mentioned before that bbh’s body langue is so purposeful and tells us so much about him and the conversation from last night is a perfect case study of it.

Find the stream here and go to the 5 hour mark. That’s when their conversation really begins and it ends around the 6 hour mark. This is all conjecture and may just be me grasping at straws but Bbh’s use of body language has always captivated me so let’s jump into it.

There is a pattern of when bbh chooses to crouch, crouch walk, stand still, jump around/place blocks, cool sit, and ground sit and we see all of this during the conversation. These are all patterns he displays when testing/manipulating someone and can be seen in other streams as well, not just this one.

Crouching in Minecraft is usually a submissive or friendly gesture. You are making urself smaller to appear less threatening or crouching to get closer to someone. Like a cat showing you it’s belly. But it is also used for stealth. When bbh is talking to someone and he’s crouching at them or walking around them while crouching, he is studying them. He is observing them like a tiger stalking it’s prey.

Through out the Tina/bbh conversation, bbh would crouch walk around her when he tells her things to test her reaction and wit. What does it mean to be okay? Bbh is actively committing self harm and hurting those around him. Talking about how he knows Foolish but Foolish also know him. There are so many examples during this conversation where bbh will tell Tina something or ask her a question and it feels like he is watching her like a vulture because of his crouch walk. Sometimes he paces back and forth and others he is actively circling her. It creates such an unexpected tension to these conversations because it feels like he’s on the hunt (which he is) and creates an aura of unease in the person he’s talking to.

Then there are moments where bbh sits (ground sit so the one where their knees pull up) beside Tina and puts them both on equal footing. He’s no longer on the hunt and lulls her into a false sense of vulnerability. We see this during their conversation after Bad admits he’s torturing himself. Bad listens to Tina talk about how no one trusts her and she feels like an outsider and he explains that everyone here is so close because of the trauma they’ve experienced. They have a sincere moment sitting together before bbh propositions Tina to burn the forest to save the trees. He does the exact same thing later in the conversation where he sits close to her and asks about her opinions on cucurucho and explains how there’s three cucuruchos and eventually propositions her to give Foolish fake evidence to get someone arrested. The ground sit emits vulnerability and bbh uses it to lower the other person’s guard so they will be more open to his plans.

It’s very interesting when bbh stands still or close to it. He did so several times during this conversation and they were all moments when he was stating something without room for Tina to disagree. When he declared they were on the same page after the burning the forest conversation, when he told her to get close to Foolish/learn his plan, and when he said Tubbo would only become more determined if he got imprisoned, and when he said only one person was going to die. These statements were not questions and they all took Tina off balance. Part of that is the way he spoke but the other part is the stillness in his posture. Bbh is almost always moving or using an emote so when he stands still (or close to it) it’s unnerving and adds an intensity/focus to what he’s saying.

There were a few instances where bbh sat (cool sit the emote with a leg out) across from Tina and each was very interesting in different ways. The first was when Tina was exclaiming that she felt like Foolish used her and that he doesn’t trust her anymore than anyone else. The second is when Tina confessed to voting something other than banning mines and begged him not to resend his trust and bbh explained the whole furniture fiasco, and asks her what she thought he should have done in that situation. The last was the very end of their conversation where he assures her that he doesn’t hold her voting for pink Wednesday against her but assured her that he will know if she tells anyone about his secrets - essentially threatens her to her face not to tell anyone.

Unlike the ground sit, bbh uses the cool sit when he reassures her and challenges her in the same breath. Cool sit exhibits confidence and that is the key that glues all of these instances together. He explains the great furniture theft and his own history with stealing and asks her what he should have done. He assures her that he trusts her because if she tells anyone, she knows he’ll bring hell down upon her. He listens to her and reassures her and threatens her all with the confidence that she’s already too caught in his web to back out now.

The moments where bbh jumps around a lot and places/breaks blocks are also super interesting. He declares that someone (most likely him) is going to be dead by the end of this(he was both jumping and standing still that’s why it gets two mentions lol). One of the times when he talks about how he knows Foolish. He builds the wall while talking about his relationship with the Fed’s. Places more glass while saying that he knows Tina, that she wants to be trusted and liked for who she is. He places dirt blocks when he says that he knows she just wants to be appreciated (and that he relates). These are all times when bbh gets agitated and fidgets via jumping or placing blocks - all moments where he’s being the most candid and genuine he’s ever been. Specifically about other people and his relationships with them. We know bbh is allergic to telling the truth or admitting affection so these kinds of admissions are rare and cause a break in his carefully defined exterior. He acts similarly when challenged by others (the conversation where Etoiles makes bbh admit that Etoiles has been right about him all along comes to mind).

These are my observations from the Tina/bbh convo and there are of course moments that don’t follow these patterns exactly but there is a pattern and it spreads beyond this single conversation. These patterns generally can be seen anytime bbh is manipulating or testing someone and I’ve picked up on many of them from previous streams and interactions. This conversation was just such a succinct example I had to analyze it.

There is a whole other essay to be made about the distinction between bbh’s body language when he’s with others vs alone and when he’s manipulating someone vs hanging out and when he’s indulging in delusions vs soberness but idk if I have the brain to research and write those rn. Maybe I’ll write them in the future depending on how this analysis is received XD anyway thanks for reading I hope it was coherent :3

[picnicbitchsokka]

zuko & sokka learn from each other in the best way possible - and here’s why

here’s the last paragraph from the famous “the prince and the fool” page iroh wrote to zuko talking about sokka

“Your experience with failure and your refusal to give up helped Sokka when he needed it most.”

sokka’s father, hakoda left him to protect his village, his gran gran, and katara

we know sokka can be really hard on himself wanting to prove to his father he’s worthy and this caused him to be brave and the protector

but he has also struggled dealing with failure at the same time

he hates letting the ones closest to him down. even at the day of black sun, he felt like he failed and let everyone down especially his father

sooo when zuko (mr. fail lord) comes along, in boiling rock, he tells sokka you’ll fail a lot in life. and it’s okay to fail over and over again before things work out

and sokka knows zuko never gives up. he listens to him cause he knows the words he’s saying are real and he’s not just rambling like he did about the silver sandwiches

post canon, i feel like when sokka was in certain situations where he knew there was a possibility of failure, he didn’t shy away from the idea as much

his bravery allowed him to take risks even though there’s a chance he might fail

sokka being sokka, he’s of course gonna want to succeed and win all the time…it’s just zuko who taught him that winning isn’t the only option. there’s failure too.

i’m literally praying this all makes sense

ok now for zuko, “And maybe you needed a bit of his foolhardy spirit to remind you that you are human too and trying to do the honarable thing doesn’t always mean doing the right thing.”

while zuko taught sokka how to deal with failure, sokka taught zuko to not be so serious all the time

notice how before boiling rock, zuko never really made…jokes

the only one he made was irohs and it didn’t really land as much as he thought it would sry zuko

it was after boiling rock is when we see him become more close and comfortable with the gaang, and—start making jokes and being sarcastic

hmmm who also makes jokes and is mr. sarcastic in the gaang??🤔 hmmmmm i wonder

he literally made a joke and the gaang laughed?????the gaang laughed. well except katara

zuko is learning he’s “human too” at the same time sokka’s learning that “being brave can mean failing”

they both bring out each others weaknesses and learn together how to grow within those weaknesses

now this is what i call balance

iroh does not miss.
