Procrastinated on making anything digital again… but a doodle for a lil fluffy hurt/comfort oneshot with Stoick and baby Hiccup that I posted last night :3

They’re so very dear to me

“He just needs more time”

And now to leave the fic link here….

[iam-sol-emnlyswear]

Got high and watched How To Train Your Dragon last night and for some reason it was only then when I realized how heartbreaking Stoick’s line “With you doing so well in the ring... We finally have something to talk about” is 

Like Stoick wants to connect with Hiccup. He’s tried so hard: taking him fishing, teaching him how to take down a dragon, even just living in the same house as his son, but they’re so vastly different that they can’t even hold a conversation. Until he hears about Hiccup’s successes in dragon training. And he’s so excited. He can finally connect with his son! But that is such new territory that Hiccup feels awkward and doesn’t answer. And Stoick realizes that even now, he doesn’t have and may never have the son he’s always wanted. So he tries one last thing: Giving Hiccup one last reminder of his mother. The only thing they have in common. And even that fails.

Stoick’s face falling, when he’s like ‘we finally have something to talk about’ and Hiccup is silent, will never not hit me in the heart.

Stoick is absolutely in the wrong, but it’s scenes like that, that show he does care about Hiccup, he’s just not good at expressing it and hasn’t accepted Hiccup being himself quite yet. He still holds onto the old ideologies and hope that Hiccup will be his kind of Viking. He’s excited cause he thinks he’s got that now (especially after years of not), he can understand Hiccup, they can be a real father and son, they can communicate. That dream is suddenly coming true. Then Hiccup doesn’t reply and there’s that little moment of realisation that the obvious rift between them still exists. He obviously is still keeping his hope as the scene continues but that moment of his face falling and the awkward tension coming back, bringing him back to the reality between them. It hurts so much.

It’s also sad since it highlights to Hiccup, that his dad wouldn’t accept him as he is yet. He’s stuck on the vision of the perfect child that Hiccup isn’t. He can’t respond because how can he when they barely talk as is, and now he’s keeping a secret so big? There’s a bit more to it on Hiccup’s side, but Stoick’s reaction to his silence is really what gets me. He doesn’t know Hiccup can’t just tell him the truth, to him it’s just the plain old usual rift and Hiccup not being comfortable talking (or knowing how to talk) to him about something that could bring them together. From his perspective, in a way, it’s a rejection.

I think it’s such a real thing between parents and children. It’s just such a real and hard hitting one second moment in a real and hard hitting scene.

The vision I have for my The Hidden World rewrite includes bunch of character redesigns - some have minor changes and some are completly reworked. Anyways, one idea for Hiccup and Valka's casual outfits is for them to split Stoick's fur cape. Hiccup wears his half on his right shoulder, while Valka has hers maybe over her waist? I'm not completly certain, though I do know I want it anywhere other than her shoulders. Them not matching would serve as a slight hint to Valka trying to readjust to her old life, but still not being able to really have a strong bond to her son and tribe.

How would we feel about this chat

Movie Hiccup vs Book Hiccup in a Fight

As the title says movie and book Hiccup in a death match, each with all their available resources. Meaning movie Hiccup get things like his flaming sword and flight suit, while book Hiccup gets both dragons plus any weapons.

They have no knowledge of each other besides the fact the other is a dragon rider. They are both fighting to protect what they love. They start 100m away from each other.

A dragon fight followed by a physical fight.

¿Who would get thrown off their dragon first? ¿Who would win the fight on the ground?

Bonus rounds

Movie Stoick vs Book Stoick with and without dragons.

Movie Riders vs Book Riders (Hiccup's friend group)

"I should've seen the signs" I feel like Stoick was basically reliving the way he lost Valka.

To him, after a lifetime of wanting nothing but to kill a dragon, Hiccup's suddenly and inexplicably changed his mind. To him, Hiccup saying he can't kill them is just like when Valka refused to and tried convincing others as well, then as a result was 'killed' by one herself.

To him, way Hiccup tossed his weapon and shield to the side then approached Hookfang while speaking about how dragons aren't what people think they are probably bares an uncomfortable resemblance to the way Valka put down her weapon and stared a dragon in the eyes and as a result was taken.

To him, attempting to do anything but preemptively defend yourself against a dragon will only end in tragedy, so he has to do anything he can to stop Hiccup before it's too late.

(And just like with Valka, he unintentionally escalated the situation by trying to protect Hiccup but only agitated the dragon, causing it to panic and react, inadvertently putting someone he loves in danger. again)

Stoick of course, wasn't acting rationally, but it makes sense when you think about how traumatizing Valka's 'death' must've been for him (and how much Hiccup reminss him of her); he watched her get taken, presumably killed, and couldn't do anything about it.

Hiccup is such a dramatic person like hey DAD remember how you said I need to kill like a singular dragon to be cool well what if I killed the biggest fuck off mountain sized dragon and ended a three hundred year war that will stop about 76% of your current problems AND get permenant life insurance in the form of an extremely angry night fury. What if huh??? What if?????

Just saw the most heartbreaking edit of Stoick's death on tiktok. My heart literally shattered into a million pieces I can't do this anymore

How to Train Your Dragon Ending

[dragonnnfly]

Stoick just died, my friend (watching httyd httyd 2 for the first time) and i are at the funeral scene.

She is angrily dipping her vegan chicken tenders in her dip while staring at me muttering “I hate you, you are aweful” repeatedly

[neztune]

“I try not to post late…” I’m a liar. I know I’m most productive with creative stuff at night, and I’m out here about to act like I’m getting all the good ideas early

Anyway!

I have been… so obsessed with runaway Hiccup fics

So I’ve been working on planning my own 😋 So I have a few doodles for the idea! Nothing too big… just the lil ideas (Gotta have a whole bunch of paternal angst, with Valka included this time… I have such a hard time finding fics with her)

[evilwriter37]

I fucking love Stoick the Vast.
