A Loveletter to the How to train your Dragon-Trilogy

I love this trilogy so much because it is a safe place for me, this world is a safe place, these characters are a safe place. I am eighteen years old and still doubting myself sometimes. Growing up is not easy and this trilogy shows us that perfectly. It thought us that letting go isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. It thaught us to do things your own way, to discover yourself and your strengths. It thaught us that true friendship will never end. That true love can exist in our worlds, it doesn’t matter if it’s romantic love or love between friends. Love is Love. Since the first movie we witness how Hiccup finds his own way and comes into his own, to become a Chief, a friend, a soldier, a husband and a father. His whole story touches me so deeply because I see myself in him, this is also why I love the whole trilogy and the shows and short films equally. They tell his story. I believe there is a Hiccup in every one of us. This whole Franchise has just giving me a feeling of pure joy and it feels like Home for me. After seeing all these movies and shows after a so long (and seeing them a hundred times) it was like coming home, that a part of me will always feel joy when I think about httyd. I am dealing with Depression so for me it’s like a little saving grace when I see or hear something httyd releated. It became part of my life again and I am so grateful that it is. It’s for me at least one of the best stories in cinematic history that were ever told. I don’t care if there is now Sipder Verse, for me httyd will always have the status as a superior trilogy, that I love to revisit and think about. It isn’t just a trilogy of movies or a simple TV-Show to a movie, it’s a journey about growing up. I have a lot love for this trilogy because I basically grew up with it alongside the Trilogies Madagascar, Shrek and Kung Fu Panda. I have so much love for this franchise in general, I just really enjoy it for what it is: a magnificent story about a boy and his dragon, who became best friends and will forever friends even if millions of miles parted them. Hiccup and Toothless will always love each other even if they are separated for their own safety, they grow together and they will always remember one another and the beautiful memories they share. There will always be something that connects them. IT’S YOU AND ME, BUD. ALWAYS. This why I love all of The movies and shows (tolerate T9R now to some degree) and it’s sometimes hard for me to see, when people hate on this movies and shows. Especially on the hidden world. I know not everyone likes it but they have to understand it’s hard to see for someone who loves it. I heard from some people that the hate in the fandom kinda destroyed their existence with httyd. I personally don’t want that because httyd appeals to some many and means to so many others so much. It kinda makes me sad to see, because httyd gives me one of the best feelings of enjoyment and inspiration that I never felt before. I know I can’t change some minds, but I just want to say all this, because everyone deserves understanding and respect. I know I posted in the past some hatred stuff against T9R and I regret everything of it, because I can now understand and feel with these people.

Last but not least I hope this franchise will again bring some more people together and the same happiness I feel with it. In some kind of way we share all the same love. We love the httyd franchise. ❤️‍🔥

Never let the dragon flames burn out in your heart, it will always be there in good and bad times. We have all THE HEART OF A CHIEF, AND THE SOUL OF A DRAGON.

Just finished brainstorming for @howtotrainyourdragonweek and HTTYD Whump Week (which I am hosting). Very excited to get to work on all this! Doing art for the last day of HTTYD Fandom Week.

hiccstrid era has begun once again

it's crazy how the writing hold up so well the last time I read these I was 14/15 and now I'm 20 and they STILL are one of the best httyd fics I've read in term of characterization of the whole cast+ hiccstrid dynamics + the political-dragons subplots

Jo( if you're still here sorry @hiilikedragons haha i'm just fangirling over your fics you're literally one of my favorite writer in the httyd fandom 😌)

[httyd-whump-week]

Rules and Info

Ao3 Collection

Prompts

I’m running this a little differently than your usual whump event. Instead of providing prompts, you will be creating whump centered around a specific character on each day.

Day 1: Hiccup

Day 2: Astrid

Day 3: Tuffnut

Day 4: Ruffnut

Day 5: Snotlout

Day 6: Fishlegs

Day 7: Free Day (Pick any character! Repeats are okay!)

You do not have to complete a piece for every day. You can still participate by doing one day or a few days.

Rules underneath the cut.

Rules

NO AI - The use of AI for this event is strictly prohibited. You must create your piece yourself.

Please post the piece on your own blog instead of sending it in an ask.

Please only post the piece the day of the event in your timezone. Late pieces will be accepted.

Use a read more if necessary. 

Anything Goes. Really. Think your piece is too dark? It will still be accepted and reblogged. Just make sure to tag and warn for themes such as “graphic depictions of violence”, “major character death”, “noncon”, etc. 

Rating: Any rating is allowed.

Warnings: Please put content warnings at the beginning of your piece or as part of the caption. 

What kind of pieces can you make? Anything! Absolutely anything. Have fun with it. Write a fic, do some art, make a moodboard or edit, etc. I’ll be accepting anything you can think of. 

No sending/spreading hate or harassment. Whump is a tricky topic, and people have squicks and triggers. However, harassment of others based on their pieces is unacceptable.

Does it have to be whump? Well, whump is a rather broad genre. You can make something that’s hurt/comfort, less hurt/more comfort, hurt/no comfort… You get the idea. If you think it counts as whump, you can definitely share it!

Tagging: The official tag for the event will be #HTTYD Whump Week. Please put this tag at the beginning of your tags. Also, please tag what character the piece is about. Tag any warnings you think are necessary.

Example: #HTTYD Whump Week, #Fishlegs Ingerman, #blood

Community Labels: I am not going to be strict about these. Use tumblr’s community labels at your own discretion. 

Ao3 Collection here. The collection will open at the time of the event and stay open afterwards for any late submissions.

When it’s exam season so I have to restrain myself from watching the httyd trilogy but I can still listen to the soundtrack😏

[random-fan-of-many-fandoms]

headcanon that Hiccup, Fishlegs, and surprisingly Tuffnut give the best hugs of the group.

Tuffnut would hug with no warning if you were having a bad day. His hugs makes you feel like someone genuinely understands you even when you can’t articulate your emotions well.

Hiccup is a stick but still makes you feel safe when he hugs.

Fishlegs would give the best bear hugs despite how hard he tries to be gentle.

feel free to add on or disagree and add your own thoughts

thank you for voting!!

[vigcup-week]

I made a countdown for the event!

[dizzybevvie]

Every day i resist the urge to rewatch this series

[companion-of-the-dragonmark]

To be honest, I prefer Windwalker and Wodensfang SO MUCH MORE. 🥰 Toothless was really annoying for me. 😒

Confession but I like Windwaljer better than Toothless as a companion. Like, Toothless is better in the sense that he's a lot funnier and witty but Windwalker just gives off that same loyal cozy vibe as a horse shaped dog.

I sometimes miss making fanart for the httyd fandom, but sometimes, even if seldom, I go back to drawing a tiny toothless c:

Black Friday reminder: My print shop has a 20% discount this week! Thanks so much for any support c: ♡

Six Sentence Sunday

From the day 1 fic for @howtotrainyourdragonweek.

Amanita approached her, touched her by laying a hand on her shoulder.

And Valka hated it. Hiccup had yet to even initiate touch with her. Instead, it had been her stepping past her carefully crafted walls to initiate touch with him.

“We thought you dead!” Amanita cried, and Valka couldn’t tell if it was in anger or elation.

[httyd-villains-ship-week]

Okay, here is the voting form for what prompts you want to see in the event! The form will be open for 1 week. (Post date: Sunday, March 2nd)

Try to pick 7 if you can! Prompts do not have to be interpreted literally.

HTTYD Fandom Week Day 7

Prompt: Favorite Character/Dragon

@howtotrainyourdragonweek

You know who doesn’t get a lot of love despite being such a cool and sweet dragon? Meatlug!

Here she is! It was a lot of fun to draw her, despite my lack of practice with dragons. Meatlug is just so great and so brave.
