Good day guys! 🥰 I’m posting edits that I didn’t post here.

There is a mini comic inspired in a scene from Hazbin Hotel. Yep, I've already finished watching all the episodes. ✨☺️ For me it was really worth it, I liked it a lot and the Welcome to Heaven episode is a gem. 😂.

Also it's been a while since I made mini comics, so I decided to make one of my babies. 🥰 Hope you like it!

As you can see, I am NOT counting the Frozen franchise, but rather the original "Big Four" that conquered half of Tumblr 10+ years ago. Ahh, memories....

Hi everyone, I have some news!

Normally I love organizing rotbtd-gift exchanges for everyone, but this season I'm going to be a little too busy to set things up as I usually do. 😔

But then I got an idea!

help i can’t find the original rise of the brave tangled dragons tumblr post

[unmask-strange-aeons]

The hubris truly has come to my head... the dream of reassembling the big 4 fandom is all consuming...

Who else sees it? The wish to be once more united against the dark, of the fear of being forgotten... we are being forgotten... day by day... our legacy... we are loosing it...

I don't want to be forgotten, I want to be remembered... to once more be the legends we are... it's time to fight, to fight to be remembered. But who will fight with me against the dark?

I want to be remembered... who is with me?

Mericcup//Meet Ugly

my first submission for @allthingsmericcup 's Mericcup month<33(Pirate merida x mermaid hiccup)

---Merida Dunbroch was a famed pirate, know all to well for her sea skills and ability to sneak around anywhere. As the beloved pirate hoisted up the net she had cast into the water in hopes to catch fish, she struggled. The net moved around quickly and the weight was more than most fish combined. She looked up to see what she caught, hoping to not see any kind of shark that planned to tear apart her net and ship. However, she saw no shark, what she did see made her eyes widen. Inside the net, was brunet boy, who's legs had been replaced with a dark green tail. Merida's hands fumbled as she nearly dropped the rope in shock, quickly grabbing it again while the boy flailed around in attempts to escape the net. He glared at Merida and hissed, scooting as far from her as possible. "Let me go! I don't know what you want with me but no way am I letting some pirate be the reason I die!" He snapped, the red head just stepping closer to him. "What are you?" she mumbled, extending her own hand out to try and touch his hand. The mermaid quickly pulled his hand away from her, gaze softening slightly. "You- you really don't have know?" His head tilted slightly, revealing aquatic like ears instead of the normal kind along with scales that covered his shoulders lightly. Merida shook her head. "I- uh- no! no, not at all! I was just trying to fish, my intention wasn't to catch you-... whatever you are-. do you have a name? Calling you a 'thing' or 'creature' doesn't feel right-" The brown haired male was quiet for a second before speaking up, body less tense than before. "Hiccup, and you are?" Merida smile softly and tipped her hat playfully. "Merida, Merida Dunbroch, world famous pirate!" she gave a playful bow and listened to Hiccup laugh lightly. "Well, world famous pirate, Merida, is there any chance you could free the sea famous killer whale tamer?" Merida hummed as if thinking before cutting open the rope. "I think I can do that..,so long as he promises to come and visit me every now and then." Merida would be lying if she said that her heart didn't flutter a bit when she saw Hiccup perk up and nod. "He absolutely can" Hiccup leaned forward, closer to Merida as the pirate did the same, her heart racing in her chest. Well- before the mermaid pulled her hat over her eyes with a light hearted laugh as he fell back into the water. "See you later, Merida the pirate!" Merida quickly moved her hat and watched at Hiccup swam off, soft smile on her face and a light blush on her cheeks.

pleasant surprises

Honestly I'm just writing this post to say that to all of you still in the fandom, y'all are amazing.

I just hopped back onto Tumblr cause I was feeling nostalgic and to be honest, all I expectedwas to sift through my archives and look back at past stuff. So color me surprised when I saw that there was some people still active.

Y'all made my night and are a blessing. Keep it up.

I used elevenlabs and mrq's TorToiSe TTS fork called ai voice cloning in conjunction with adobe enhance speech to make a AI Dub of fan comics featuring Hiccup, Merida, and Jack Frost. I got the fan comics from s0alaina, White-Rain-Angel, artishtic, ghostcribs, hubedihubbe, jackunzel-mericcup-week, mond011-blog, riseofthebravetangled-dragons, seerseeker, thebigfour-ahojako, and thefourbamfs

If you want to play around with the characters' voices in elevenlabs, you can use these files linked below. You should set clarity + similarity to 95% for accuracy. Note the Merida files will not work because as of this date, elevenlabs doesn't allow non-american accents.

Here's a tip if you're using elevenlabs. If you want the voices to convey emotion. You put in parenthesis and the emotion word. Like this

(sad) I'm sad.

You can also slow it down like this.

(slow sad) I'm sad.

Good evening ROTBTD'ers! As per the poll, I am proud to present the results and our first interview!

And so, I would like to present for our first Post:

A short interview with Olive from @trixicwriter94 , current director* of the project B4: Guardians, a Rise of the Brave tangled Dragons fan film.

I know customary wording is Q/A but here we’ll be working with the A/O format.

A = Andy, providing questions and O= Olive, our first creator.

A- So for starters, let's do some basic introductions! Could you state your preferred online name /user and your pronouns? (For your reference I'm Andy and I use he/him)

O- Olive is my name, and my pronouns are they/them!

A- Nice to meet you formally Olive!

O- Nice to meet you, too, Andy! Thank you for conducting this interview!

A- It's a pleasure to service my community (fandom), we can pinpoint the birth of the fandom to 2012-2013, when and how did you initially discover the [rotbtd] fandom?

O- Oooh, that’s a good question. I’d have to say that I first saw the fandom here on Tumblr, but I can’t exactly pinpoint when that was. I was still new to Tumblr back then, so I was still new to the idea of “fandom”.

A- That's valid, in that same branch, how long have you been active in the fandom?

O- I think I’ve been active pretty much since it was started in 2013.

A- Nice, we love an OG! Since you've been here a while, what would you say has most changed in ~10 years of the fandom?

O- hank you! I think the the things that’s most changed is the fact that people in the fandom have added a lot more characters/movies (that, in my opinion, are unnecessary) to the Big Four.

A- Yeah, I feel the same honestly, but I can appreciate an odd bunch from time to time! In matters of characters, do you have a fave out of the four or one from their distinct casts?

O- Hmmm…I know that we’re using pre-HTTYD2 Hiccup and Toothless in B4: Guardians, but my favorite character among the cast of characters from the How To Train Your Dragon franchise is Eret, Son Of Eret. Anyone who knows me well would not be very surprised by that fact. My favorite among the four has got to be Rapunzel. She’s just feisty and has a fighting spirit. She fights for what she believes in, and I really admire that about her.

A- That's a very nice portrait of Rapunzel! If you had to say which character is most like you/that you identify with the most, who would you pick?

O- It’s a cross between Hiccup and Rapunzel. Hiccup because I’m an outcast in my family. I’m the youngest, unmarried and with no kids… and I’m okay with that. Rapunzel because I feel like I’m just dreaming about writing full time, and painting is very important to Rapunzel, so I relate to her being interested in the visual arts. I’m currently in culinary school, but it’s physically and mentally draining each week. Anyway, yeah. Hiccup and Rapunzel are the ones I relate to most!

A- Interesting! I had no idea you studied culinary, cool vocation! And in matters of vocation, what would say your role within the fandom is?

O- I like to think that I’m a content creator within the fandom, despite the fanfilm not being that well-known!

A- Speaking of creation, now would be a great time for you to tell us about that fan vfilm! In a few lines can you tell us about the fan film itself?

O- Okay! The fan film is about Jack, Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup being chosen to discover their centers, defeat a great evil, and help rekindle a broken father/daughter relationship. I think the lesson of the movie is that family isn’t just blood, but it’s also your chosen family, the family that you meet along the journey of your life.

O- Like, I know a LOT of people ship Merricup and Jackunzel and all the other ones…but I just see those four being good friends, with a family dynamic. Their chosen family may be small, but they grow as characters, and I like to believe we see that growth in B4: Guardians, and not just in each of the characters’ source material.

A- That's a fair point, platonic relationships are just as important as romantic ones and should not be undervalued; I know that you currently hold multiple positions in the making of this fan film, now I've seen the most updated version up on youtube and I'm wondering who came up with this?

O- That would be TheRedBoots, on deviantArt. They’ve since left the group (mentally and emotionally, although their username is still physically listed as the founder, as far as I’m aware). Back in 2013, I was just watching random Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons YouTube videos (like fantrailers), and I saw this comment asking for people to help with a project that would soon after be known as The Big Four: Rise Of the Brave Tangled Dragons. It wasn’t until several years later that a Twitter user came up with the new title, since, technically, Rise Of the Brave Tangled Dragons was a copyrighted title (shout out to FILMSTHESEDAYS…I honestly have no clue if they’re still on Twitter since I’ve deleted my account). And, thus, B4: Guardians was the new name, and it’s been that way ever since.

The year was, I think, 2018 when the title was changed, since that’s the year that I made the post on the deviantArt page.

A- Dang what a story! And while we’re here, what ads are currently up for the project?

O- Let’s see, I’ve posted several on my TikTok and Instagram, and the lead animator has posted an ad on their channel. I have also posted some here on Tumblr. Most of the posts I’ve made on social media are just progress reports, but there’s one ad I made looking for volunteer animators and composers for this fanfilm.

A- Cool beans, I'll link the aads somewhere in here [place ads here]

Now here’s a couple rapid fire questions

O- I’m ready!

A- 1. Fave media format in the fandom ? (story, animation, art, cosplay, etc)

O- Probably art. I love seeing all the different art styles people have.

And, sadly, I rarely read other people’s fanfics, as I don’t want to think that “oh, that would make a good fanfilm”.

I’ve also scoured YouTube for animators for this thing…and I can’t really find that many, unfortunately.

A- Yeah that’s fair, tis' the ages for this,

2. Your favourite song for the main cast?

O- Hmmm…like from the original source materials’ scores or fanmade songs?

A- Whichever you like best :)

O - I think my favorite fanmade song for this crossover is a tie between No Way Out by 808mossmallow, and Free (Special Edition) by Ellie Amaya. The three others I love are Someday Things Will Change by Lily Sevin, Something Different by Lily Sevin, and Take Pity On Me by Walker Smith.

Fun fact: You may or may not hear those songs in the end credits of B4: Guardians!😉

A- Ooooooo very nice line up,

3. Favourite AU?

O- Thank you! I knew we needed something for the end credits, and I love all of those songs, so, after I got permission from each of the artists to use their respective songs in the end credits, I’ve spliced each of the songs up to make a mashup!

As for favorite AU…I’d have to say any Modern AU.

A- Very valid! I love modern AUs as well haha

O- Because, before 2020, I was really hoping to make this fan film live-action, even going as far as making wishlists for props, casting actors, trying to raise the money, and looking at locations.

A- Ooooo I’ve always dreamed of a live action Movie, I wanted my story to be one initially haha

Now, our final question, what is your wish for the fandom?

O- That’s really cool! My wish for the fandom is that this fan film (and the fandom in general) thrives for years to come. It’s one of the reasons I write fiction: to get my stories out there, and for them to become people’s favorite books. The same goes for the fanfilm: I want people to be able to enjoy it now and in the future.

A- That is a beautiful wish, I hope it comes true! ☺️

And so this concludes our brief interview, thank you so much Olive for your time! I hope our fandom thrives again!

O- Thank you so much for your well wishes, and for interviewing me! It was a pleasure! And you’re welcome!

As mentioned above, here are linked the volunteer ads that are up if you're a creative with some time and a current wish to participate in a fandom-led project!

See here to volunteer as a composer! 🎶 And around here to volunteer in the animation process! ✏

You can of course find B4: Guardians, in its latest stage up on Youtube! 📺

Again, a big thank you to Olive for participating in my fandom antics!

Alright folks! This concludes our first interview! I will be following this post with an ask box for you to pitch in names or users or projects you'd love to see interviews about (be writers, artists, composer,etc) or if you wish to volunteer as 'tribute' do so within the ask box as well!

With this, I bid thee good day and to the morrow of soon,

Godspeed rotbtd'ers, big4 4evaaa
