#httyd johann

[puffpal7]

the idea of johann being the true villain all along is so funny to me. they really just gave him all of dagur's craziness didn't they

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

httyd characters as dancers because i’m a dancer and i said so

hiccup: raised in a family of ballet dancers, sucked at ballet but found out he’s amazing at tap

astrid: modern, but it borders on hip hop

snotlout: breakdancing, but he has a secret love for musical theater (if anyone find out he will hunt them down and make sure they stay silent)

fishlegs: lyrical, occasionally jazz and musical theater

ruffnut and tuffnut: acro, emphasis on contortion. they often threaten to run away to a circus

heather: contemporary, ballet, and hip hop

johann: irish dancing

dagur: ballet. he’s not embarrassed by it but if anyone makes fun of him he will harm them

viggo: ballet, but he’s very condescending about it. if he sees someone dancing next to him he will try to one up them

ryker: hip hip, emphasis on calisthenics

mala: aerial silks

I think that the Johann reveal worked REALLY well considering the fact that they weren't planning on it for like 6 seasons, but I wish that once they HAD decided on it, they had, like, eased us into it. Like instead of revealing him immediatly they started to do things more deliberately to incriminate him until we're starting to doubt him, and then officially reveal him as a villain to us when they reveal him to Hiccup

Trader Johann's Scream makes me wheeze everytime 😭

[000marie198]

Fishlegs is sometimes the one who would get scared the most easily out of the riders. And the Speed Stingers' ambush was definitely something that could terrify anyone. Yet he came back.

He couldn't leave her there

Race to the Edge season six spoilers

College Days (and career plans)

After seeing a really fun Yona of the Dawn AU fanart with the characters in college, I started thinking about the Dragons crew.

Hiccup: Engineering. He's going to become an inventor and has already done some of that. He'll probably have his own company after graduation that makes just about everything. Need a replacement limb? Phone? Cylindrical item that will lead you to various reptiles and the journey of a lifetime? He's got you covered on all fronts. If it can be built, it will be.

Astrid: Law enforcement. She's eventually going to a police academy (cue the movie of the same name), so she wants to be prepared. She'll become a police captain in the future. It'll be very obvious why crime rates are plummeting in whatever city she's in.

Fishlegs: Zoology. He's always been into science, so he's going to become a zoologist to study animals all over the world. He absolutely loves his work and probably brings a few creatures home to study for a little longer before taking them back to the lab.

Snotlout: Drama. He's planning on becoming an actor. His work as Sir Ulgerthorpe has convinced me that he at least could be good on a stage. Plus, he's a drama queen. Maybe he'll get on the screen one day too. He's also considering if he wants to try out screenwriting and/or directing eventually. If he does become a director, he'll be one of the best and most bossy somehow.

Ruffnut: Digital communication and media/multimedia. She's honestly not here for any reason other than it's where Tuffnut and their friends are. That said, the twins are going to become YouTubers, so she figures she might as well become good at making videos.

Tuffnut: Crafts. He missed how Ruffnut's idea will actually be useful in their future job and thought this sounded fun. His reasoning is that he'll make some cool crafts to show off to their viewers. He's probably right, but there are still a dozen sighs directed his way because of this choice.

Dagur: Undecided. He's gone through business to see if he wanted to be an entrepreneur, then wasn't sure if he should just go to an entrepreneurship degree, had a few in between, and the latest one was psychology to try to understand his mind. At this point, he's hoping he sticks with something long enough to graduate on time with the credits. Can't say he isn't getting a well-rounded education, though. Just don't even get him started on career plans. He figures that he'll teach martial arts to pay for bills until he comes up with an idea he can keep for longer than a month.

Heather: Music. She's going to become a singer and probably be a vocal and guitar teacher later on. She's the only member of the group who we've heard sing and not sound bad (minus Snotlout surprisingly in my opinion. Oi oi oi), so I can see her doing this. She's not planing on being some superstar or anything. Just most likely at some venues and on YouTube, so maybe Ruffnut's new skills can help out.

Mala: Doctor of medicine for surgery. She's in the doctoral program (because I'm convinced she is a nice amount of years older than the others) and going to become a surgeon. This is something she's wanted to do for a while since she enjoys healing people. Meeting the others made her want to do this even more since she's sure at least one of them is going to be in a terrible accident one day and will need a good surgeon. Her bet is on Hiccup, the twins, or Dagur.

Throk: Criminal justice. He's already graduated, but he is receiving specialized training to become a body guard. When he gets free time, he comes around to spend time with the others. He's part of the bet with Mala and bets that Ruffnut will NOT need a surgeon because there's no way he's allowing such harm to come to her.

Atali: Women's studies. She's going to run a women's shelter when she graduates. She is also considering getting a master's.

Minden: Physical education. She's following her bestie and going to teach self-defense to the women Atali helps out.

(bonus)

Gobber: Welding engineering. He loved this in his university days and started up his own company. This is how he got Hiccup into making things too.

Stoick: Political science. He joined the marines when he was younger and became a high-ranking officer before coming back home to care for Hiccup.

Johann: Law. He became a slimy lawyer who always gets the really dangerous criminals off and puts away innocent people.

Viggo: Economics. He wanted to be very shrewd with his spending. He owns a company that seems like it's a tech manufacturing company on the outside but is actually smuggling a bit of everything.

Ryker: Criminology. He did this to understand just what risks the criminals who work for/with him could face. He works for Viggo (because of course he does) and is the VP of the business.

Krogan: Business management. On the outside, it seems like he's got a weapons manufacturing company, but he uses it to work with the Grimborns and hurt people.

Idk if you've made a post on this already or not I couldn't find anything so far. What kind of dragon would Viggo or any rtte httyd villains be in your opinion?

Oop. Well. Kind of yes but not likely what you're asking about. I did do a few post with some minor art of a few RttE villains as Wings of Fire dragons, but as other dragons in the HttyD franchise, not yet.

I will tell you, as I write this answer (and any this applies with any other asks i have answered/will answer), this is what comes to mind first. Sometimes I do think but otherwise I'm just saying what immediately strikes me.

Viggo himself, I would say either the classic Skrill answer, or perhaps a Deathsong. Tbh I think a Skrill and Deathsong hybrid would be kinda badass ngl.

Ryker... hm. He kinda gives me personally Thunderdrum vibes, maybe an aggressive Catastrophic Quaken. Sorta mysterious, loud. Yeah.

Krogan.... that's one to think about. In my opinion, singetail is not what I'd go to for him, even though he rides one. Sand Wraith maybe? I feel Boneknapper, while cool, might be a bit far fetched. Idk though. Ooh, a Sand Wraith Boneknapper. That'd be cool, methinks

Johann is either Changewing or Smothering Smokebreath to me and there's little to no in between for this. He's a shifty shit.

Do reformed villains count? Idk, maybe I'll answer for them later. But yeah. My thoughts.

Also I'm aware I didn't go through some of the lesser antagonists of RttE and I'm not going to this time. Maybe at a different point. Idk.

[garussy]

At the end of rtte it should’ve shown a clip of Dagur going below the island

Mainly to see the bewilderbeast but also to look at Johann trapped in ice and say “I hate traitors”

Just like in the beginning of the series before he pushes him off the edge of the cliff to make sure Johann never comes back

[reallyprofoundkryptonite]

Random thing I thought about.

Most of the other villains in race to the edge have musical cues to signify that they are there or that they are going to be onscreen.

Krogan doesn’t.

In fact, any music seems to cut off quite sharply as soon as he appears, and the few times there is music at his appearance, I can only describe it as a prickling of tiny, short notes. This is a very sharp intake of difference from both Viggo and Johann, who get sharp, sudden, and long jabs at their appearances on screen.

The sudden lack of music when Krogan appears on screen; it reminds me of the silence that can fall over an area when animals know that there is a predator in their midst. The stark, stringy notes that ring out sometimes are like the hairs on the back of your neck raising, as if you are being watched by some creature that is hunting you down.

I’m making this metaphor because I think it signifies that dreamworks intended for Krogan to be more like a actual predator. A wolf in sheep’s clothing amongst the dragon hunters; who would be deemed his prey.

And I know it could just be superficial in that “he’s supposed to be the outcast and he works for Drago which is why it’s like that!” That’s fucking lazy and BORING! We can do better than that!

Perhaps, in the universe where we got to see more of him, it would come to the understanding that Krogan is actually a predator in their midst. That he is not afraid to predate on his supposed allies for food. (It’s dark, yes, but the other option is drab, stupid, and too superficial don’t @ me.)

[amyrafierceblade]

Last Night's Dream in a Nutshell:

Krogan has a buffet table

He doesn't man it, its just there for him, he owns it

I steal food from said buffet table

I run off because he's angry about that

Johann watches

Viggo switches from helping me to being me(as in I am Viggo sometimes)

The dragon riders are busy fighting skeletons

Mostly the bewilderbeast skeleton

But other skeletons as well

Toothless's kids are having a bachelor party(no idea how else to explain it- there was literally a fucking party with balloons and red cups and shit-)

They are interrupted by Grimmel capturing them

All of them

Grimmel has an arena

He makes the dragons fight demons

Actual demons

Like, from DOOM kindof shit

HTTYD1 apparently involves a curse plague turning dragons to stone

HTTYD2 apparently involves Gothi making Hiccup walk all that way to Dragons Reach(as in the fucking Skyrim place)

HTTYD3 didn't really exist, it was just there

HTTYD4 involves demons and Grimmel fighting dragons against demons

Race to the Edge apparently was a bunch of books I was having to hide from Viggo and Hiccup both, and involved a lot of horror, gore, violence and plauges (statues again)

Krogan's gravy for the mashed potatoes was shit

But the rest was okay, 10/10

Viggo got into a dog fight(literally- and also I was Viggo right then-)

Had to break plates to escape the hotel and the dogs as Viggo

Fell into a river

Woke up

This is why I like sleeping so much-

[puffpal7]

has anyone done this yet

[rosiethedragongeek]

Okay so if I'm not mistaken, RTTE was meant to end after four seasons, and got greenlit for a final two seasons later, right? And they obviously had to come up with a final story arc to close it off.

Meaning Johann wasn't meant to be evil for the first four seasons, they just looked at it and realized that basically every single episode since his FIRST EPISODE IN RIDERS OF BERK (dragon flower where he sells Mildew the blue oleander (which is poisonous to dragons)), Johann could potentially have been up to something nefarious and realized that they'd ACCIDENTALLY set up for the biggest, longest building plot twist in the entire franchise like,,,, on. ACCIDENT.

[000marie198]

This guy brought smothering smokebreaths to Berk. He also delivered false info about Dagur's weapon a few episodes back. He also brought to Berk baskets upon baskets of blue olienders. And I have a suspicion that he was the "excellent authority" Dagur mentioned who delivered the news of Berk having made peace with dragons to the Berserker chief in the first place. I'm starting to see a lot of red flags here which were previously unseen even though he wasn't created to be an antagonist for RoB/DoB.

Slasher Movie

With Halloween fast approaching (moohoohahaha), I started imagining the RTTE cast in horror movies. Here are my headcanons for what they would do if they were stuck in a slasher film (and not the killer. I feel the need to specify that)

Hiccup: Make so many traps, he puts Kevin McCallister to shame. The slasher runs home, crying.

Astrid: Comes face-to-face with the slasher and beats the living yak dung out of whoever was bold enough to do this.

Fishlegs: Screams for most of the movie. Fights the slasher if Meatlug is ever targeted. Gets slashed otherwise.

Snotlout: Dies. Either this or is doing his best to not freak out the entire time and finally ends up fighting the slasher.

Tuffnut: Is convinced that the slasher is pulling a prank. Keeps almost dying, but he just won't because he's Tuffnut.

Ruffnut: Is pulling a prank but also is pretty sure that there's a real slasher too. Manages to avoid the killer for most of the movie.

Dagur: Captures the slasher. The rest of the movie turns into an NC-17 torture flick. Bring the barf bags if you have a weak stomach.

Heather: Realizes pretty fast what's going on and is the one to bring it to the others' attention. Mostly stays on the defensive and tries to avoid the killer.

Stoick: Nothing because the slasher isn't even willing to try him.

Gobber: Kills the slasher by accident, then realizes what he did and is pleased.

Mala: Stays put and waits for the slasher to come to her, then regret every life decision that was made up to the point of meeting the queen.

Throk: Refuses to leave Mala's side for any reason until the slasher is dead. Is going through emotional conflict because Ruffnut won't stay still and he wants to keep them both safe.

(Bonus for villains!)

Johann: Dies immediately.

Alvin (I know he technically turned good, but eh): Thinks that something is up, then makes the slasher take of running as soon as he's seen up close.

Ryker: Feeds the slasher to dragons.

Krogan: Brings out his trusty dusty torture book for ideas.

Viggo: Challenges the slasher to a game of maces and talons where the prize for winning is life itself.
