In light of the Percy Jackson trailer release

To be clear i do also care very much (PJO my beloved <3) but meme funny so

I have loved Soldier, Poet, King for years now and even back then I couldn’t help but appreciate how perfect it was for the Httyd books. I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out, but please enjoy this incredibly rough animation anyway. The amount of finesse I tried to put into this is… negligible?

I really dislike those fandoms where everyone or a lot of people get mad at you when you dislike or hate the main canon straight couple(s).

Cripplepunk Modern Au Hiccup

-“Amazing, isn’t he?”

-“Magnificent...”

I couldn’t get these two out of my head recently and decided to go back nd draw some of my early ideas of them bonding over their admiration for this dragon

I can just imagine them nerding out and spoiling the dragon together as they get to spend more time learning more about him

*looks at newt* that is a man who watches httyd at least 3 times a week and owns neon green alien socks

[corvidpaws]

yet another httyd books fic idea- we need content!! I would absolutely write it but i don’t have all the books yet :(

hiccup and his dragons from the end of book twelve gets swapped with hiccup and his dragon from book one. future!hiccup gets dropped there before the dragon training ceremony, but after he’s met toothless.

everyone would freak out because one second it’s a tiny viking kid and the next it’s a twelve year old with a crown, several scars, a slavemark, a black star and FOUR dragons, two of which happen to be seadragonus giganticus maximus’.

past!hiccup: why am i in a castle where’s snotlout where’s my dad what’s happening

camicazi and fishlegs: shit.

Is it just me or is the reason little girls want to do horseback riding the wish to go on a ride at sunset through the woods and at the sea with no one else around you but your horse?

Basically the wish to be independent with no one telling you what to do and to be free?

[honeyed-latte]

I need more fics of Hiccup with ladies that aren't Astrid tbh....

[eemoo1o]

Love how Snotlout continuously questions why Throk loves Ruffnut, only to proceed only a season later to have a crush on her (meanwhile just an episode prior Fishlegs and Ruff share a moment over angel root and a few seasons ago also got married).

i think the httyd dragon rider gang is a polycule send tweet

[limesandcoconuts]

im rewatching rtte since i never watched the entire show in the proper order, i skipped a lot of episodes and just generally it’s been a couple years since i was last in the httyd fandom but i currently can’t make it past season 1 because there are those heather episodes and im sorry but i detest heather. I cannot stand her. she is so whiny and i can’t help but roll my eyes whenever she’s on screen. anyways, im watching them now. lord give me strength

whag is YOUR FAVOURITE DRAGON from the tv shows!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much :( /pos

Meta-wise, Ive talked before on one of my old accounts (@i-hate-spitelout-jorgenson) about how much I find Snaptrappers really really interesting. As a kid who spent most of my time watching riders/defenders of berk, and watched the 3 short films just as frequently, I was very used to seeing dragons appear on Riders Of Berk and recognising them from the Book Of Dragons short. Whispering Death, the Skrill, Changewing, Thunderdrum, scauldron, etc all appeared first in BoD and then in RoB which I LOVED. I felt so in the loop. The 2 exceptions to this are the Timberjack, which had its design recycled into the Typhoomerang and also appeared in httyd2's "Where No One Goes" scene (and potentially in The hidden world?), and the Snaptrapper, which never appeared in the film franchise again. Its in the mobile game, its in School of Dragons, its even in the comics. But never in the film franchise, which I always found really interesting.

Actual self-indulgent wise though???

Im going to disqualify the dragons that appeared in httyd1 (not including those in the Dragon Book Scene) so Night fury, Deadly Nadder, Monstrous Nightmare, Hideous Zippleback, Gronckle, red death and Terrible Terror cant compete.

I mean, for pure fear factor the first two to come to mind are the Skrill and Screaming Death.

I was TERRIFIED OF THE SKRILL. Especially because as a kid i was terrified of Dagur. Who is essential to any Skrill based plot line. But the way it was frozen in ice, the way hiccup staggered back when he realised what it was, the realisation it could still be alive, was so fucking haunting. It being able to counter most/all of toothless' attacks was so terrifying as a kid man. It being sealed back in the jce at the end of the episode felt genius to me at the time but I love that they released it in rtte. thats character development.

The screaming death's set up was also, terrifying. Its worth noting that I caught RoB/DoB mostly on reruns so I probably didnt watch it in order, but I saw each episode LOADS of times and probably pieced it together. The whole episode with the whispering death where it has a weakness to light was such good set up for the screaming death because when it didnt have the same weakness i was SHOCKED AND DUMBFOUNDED. Also the screaming death fire out the back of the head effect is awesome?? AND THE FIRST SHOT WHERE YOU JUST SEE THE TUNNEL IT CREATED... YEAH. NIGHTMARE MATERIAL FOR 5 YEAR OLD ME, 10/10 NO NOTES.
