Ch2 | P12 | The Breaking of the Waves [Mermaid Hiccup Au]

Masterpost of Pages | Read on Tapas

hmm, me thinks Hiccup didn't like being sidelined for the past 4.5 years since he last appeared in the comic... or, y'know, the 5 minute convo between Astrid and Eret in-story 😅 Hoping to have ch2 page 13 posted within a week or two if i can!

Comic Summary: Astrid Hofferson has wanted to be a marine biologist since she was a little girl. Finally getting her dream job as an intern at the Barbaric Archipelago Aquarium, she finds things not as they seem and a little more than she expected when she befriends a merman named Hiccup.

modern au hiccup is my beloved he is like me fr

Doing the rest of the gang (and others wink wonk) soon! Hiccup’s vibe to me is a whole soup full of styles (punk, techwear, casual, etc etc) so I tried my best to kinda combine the main elements of them. Also I just looked at his costume progression thru the httyd universe and had an idea to make his third movie armor lean more into techwear cuz why not

Drop ur modern hic headcanons and I’ll consume them happily k bye

Heheh

I feel like in a httyd modern au, Hiccup would be that shy, timid kid who, while spunky in his own way, has always been pretty low key and reserved. His family is dominating and boisterous and he compensates for it by being more introverted and subdued than he would otherwise be. Growing up, everyone always told him how quiet and thoughtful and calm he was, and he internalized this as part of his identity. They saw he was small and different, and despite his troublemaking, treated him with kid gloves sometimes without noticing. 

And then, sometime mid high school, someone decides to let Hiccup take piloting lessons - maybe for work, maybe for fun. Either way, it changes his life. Hiccup gets to land a plane and he has a moment just staring at the controls in wonder and he realizes the power and thrill that flying gives him, and realizes that he likes this. He likes this a lot. 

And within a matter of months Hiccup transforms from a shy boy into a adrenaline-starved berserker. He discovers his gut for thrill seeking and adventure and he will do things that make Snotlout cry. Not only can he imagine amazing things and draw them out (which he’s been doing for years), he can build them too, and he goes on roller coasters and skydiving and designs his own roller coasters and planes so dangerous that Gobber’s jaw nearly hits the floor when Hiccup presents them to his mentor with a crazed smile. He learns to bike and skate and he’s a natural at it, and his father is baffled beyond belief because where the heck did that come from? 

And naturally just naturally, Gobber thought that this, this madman genius daredevil sixteen year old was the Hiccup that he should take up to Montana to see the National Dragon Reserve. As if that doesn��t have “Bad Idea” written all over it. 

When he gets a call from the National Parks Department telling him that they have satellite footage of his son playing - actually playing with wild dragons, Stoick sighs, hangs up the phone, and gets his car keys. Well, it could be worse, he told himself. He could have been riding the thing instead. 

He gets that call about six hours outside of Miles City. Then he decides to start panicking.

In another life, we would be strangers catching eyes as we pass each other and go about our day, never to see each other again. But in that brief glimpse, we shared a lifetime.

Ty @alkalinefrog for giving me more reasons to draw gremlin Jamie and his gremlin activities

Jamie has binged all of game theory, markiplier, and read all the fnaf books to prepare for his college thesis.

Also Minecraft bonding moments :,D

I’ve always been curious about other people’s take on this but—

If Hiccup was thrown into the future, what do you think Jamie and/or the other kids try to show him? What kind of modern music would he like? Or other things like that? Would he like coffee? There are so many questions and things he could be exposed to—

I just love the idea of Hiccup being thrown into the future and I’d love to hear your take on it.

Thanks!!

Jamie would be adamant about teaching Hiccup internet meme culture LMFAO the better question is which memes oh my god wait, would Jamie be on tiktok 😭😭😭 gen z KING LMAO

This post is gonna age so poorly but I gotta list some internet stuff he'd try to educate him on:

"here, read this brief summary of the last 1000 yrs of history to get caught up" rickrolls him

YOUR CLASSIC VINES like road work ahead, fresh ava ca do, oh my god they were roommates

"whatup I'm Hiccup I'm 18 and I never fucking learned how to read" "wtf I can read Norse runes dick"--- does google translate offer a Norse option LMFAO

Idk FNAF but I feel like Jamie is a FNAF kid just from vibes alone and he'd force Hiccup to play it

Creepy pastas

This is tiktok specific, I want Jamie to teach Hiccup how to get sturdy and forces him to do other dance trends together LMFAO

Minecraft, again based on vibes

Unfortunately I'm 50/50 on whether or not Jamie would like anime but that's a whole other can of worms I don't wanna go into kashalsbakvabfbsk

Essentially Jamie latches on to him like "omg new big brother"

Otherwise I haven't given too much thought to Hiccup in the future! In answer to your other examples, I feel like he'd have a soft spot for Nordic folk music but would be into modern indie rock, and he's more of a mead guy than coffee guy and drinks coffee more for the energy boost but gets jittery fast. I also think he'd get into motorcycles when he finds out there aren't dragons around anymore and misses the adrenaline rush from flying!

If you want a really fun Hiccup-gets-isekai'd-into-the-future au then I'd highly recommend checking out @midoristeashop's take on it!! Stellar art and au by a stellar artist!!!

Thanks for the fun ask dude!!

hiccup: my dad after he said "keep the damn dragon off the bed"

[1000dactyls]

Rewatching all HTTYD media and realising Hiccup is one of the best shots of the show like genuinely sticks funeral arrow hitting the target that far away, the fact he shot down toothless in pitch blackness while toothless was completely camouflaged there's some more I'm missing but damn get that kid in the Olympics right this second

imagine how much shorter rtte would’ve been if they gave hiccup a gun
