How I think httyd book characters would take their coffee

Hiccup: decent amount of skim milk and just a little bit of sugar 

Fishlegs: Almond milk plus some creamer like hazelnut or caramel 

Camicazi: somehow manages to make something that is both liquid cake and twice the recommended caffeine intake 

Toothless: drinks a cup of coffee so diluted its basically water, with 2 packets of sugar for good messure, then brags about how grown up he is. 

Horrorcow: drinks decaf, caffine makes her anxious 

Valhallarama: expresso shots

Alvin: just a boring average cup of coffee, but he will be pretentious about where the beans came from or the brewing method

Stormfly: gets the most aesthetic item of the menu but will only drink it sometimes. Puts poison flowers in it to make it prettier, for the picture forgets to take them out, drinks them, and gets a stomach ache

Old Wrinkly: a little milk, and the grounds still in the cup, so he read the coffee grounds when he’s done

Snotlout: likes pumpkin spice lattes, will never admit it, drinks expresso shots to look tough even though he hates the taste and it makes him slightly sick 

Excellanor: uses blood as her coffee creamer

Stoick: slightly watered down and a diabetic amount of sugar, with whole milk. 

Windwalker: Doesn’t drink coffee, but unlike horrorcow it doesn’t make him anxious, he just doesn’t like the taste, he drinks hot chocolate instead

HTTYD Modern AU Ideas (Small Town + Cryptids)

I'm always a bit perplexed when the interpretation of modern day Hiccup is that he would be wealthy...yes his father is a chieftain, but he's the chieftain of a tiny, rugged island without luxuries, even for the ruling family. The Haddocks dress and live in the same quality of clothes/lodgings as everyone else, and Hiccup isn't treated better than his peers. In fact, I feel like him being Stoick's son only highlighted his inability to fit in during the first movie.

Anyway, there's very little status distinction going on in Berk past Stoick having more decision-making power. And pre-HTTYD 2, we don't see a large population on Berk or a focus on luxury or convenience (we can assume that this is because the period between HTTYD 1 and RTTE take place during and just after a state of constant war against the dragons.)

Keep in mind this is while there are contemporaneous cultures in the franchise (Like The Wingmaidens and the Defenders of the Wing) that make Berk look rustic and provincial in comparison. And for a real-life comparison, you can look at the wealthy kingdoms and empires that were flourishing elsewhere in the world at the same time as Europe's Viking Age/early middle ages.

Modern day Stoick to me is a community leader (frequently re-elected mayor, town manager, sheriff, etc) of a tiny middle-of-nowhere town. With the mayor option, Hiccup would certainly be well-off compared to many of his peers, but much closer to middle or upper-middle class. Apparently a mayor's salary can be dependent on how big the town/city is, so there's a good chance Stoick is making an average salary anyway. Either way, I think he would be so frugal that even if they had money, Hiccup wouldn't grow up knowing about it until his teens.

I'm thinking modern day Berk is either the Midwest (because a lot of people in the midwest have nordic ancestry and that would be a great way to represent the americanized viking vibe we get from the franchise) or the Northeast because those forests are haunted af and definitely where you'd find a downed dragon that is the offspring of lightning and death. Either way I'm putting it in the States, because the dragon riders are very clearly American teens (+1 Canadian) with a vaguely Viking aesthetic. Maybe the mascot of the local high school has something to do with Vikings (A Berserker? maybe Berk and Berserker Island are merged here so we can get the Berk Berserkers), so the town has a bit of a viking fascination.

also i think it would be fun if the dragons in the modern au were cryptids or aliens. Maybe instead of having a feud that lasted for several generations, it was more like a recent series of disturbances, which much of the town initially responds to with skepticism (like making fun of Hiccup for having a cyptid sighting and trying to catch them) and then ramps up to aggression when the cryptids/aliens make themselves unambiguously known. Bonus points if it takes place in the 80s. So not quite a modern AU I guess, but closer than the 800s.

[cheeseyproship]

hi :D

Can I get an aesthetic board for hiccup x Stoick (httyd)? Maybe a sage green, gold, and brown color scheme with wood carvings, wrought-iron, and some possessiveness quotes? :3

[revive-the-fandom]

Hey! Saw your essay about the inconsistencies. Ah ye. When contrasting the Httyd movies with the shows, I like to not take it all that seriously. "But the shows are canon!!!!!" the shows are a beautiful and meaningful AU of the movies and vice versa; I've fared wonderfully treating them like that. Keeping the good parts for inspo and tossing the rest tbh.

E.g. I'm keeping Dagur and Viggo and the Fireworms for canon. Maybe there was an outpost called Dragon's Edge once, but I like to think to myself that Hiccup merely used it as a weekend base camp / storehouse for further explorations rather than actually living there for extended periods of time. He had to make all his Httyd2 improvements on Berk somehow within those five years lol. He would have had to abandon Dragon's Edge wayyy earlier to be able to have a constant presence on his home island that would earn him the village's support and Stoick's eye regarding Chieftainship. I'm definitely keeping the volcano eruption though. Also the Buffalord, the amazing Season 4 Hiccstrid kiss, the Night Terrors and Chicken. And of course the gang becoming better friends.

...On the other hand I'm definitely treating Heather, Mala, the Wingmaidens and all the dragons I don't personally like as vivid fever dreams lol. I'm also ignoring the comics. Had Hiccup truly encountered Viggo and gone through all of that Rtte character development canonically, he wouldn't have acted as naive as he did in Httyd2... Viggo already taught him better than that.

Those are just my two cents, they are also helping me embrace such things as Homecoming etc.

If you could build your canon however you liked, what would you keep? :)

I don't know if you meant it like this but I do want to clarify that I adore the first 2 movies, GotNF, LotB, RoB, DoB, and RttE. And I like elements of Httyd 3 and Homecoming, but not them in general.

(I have no intention of reading the comics - they don't interest me).

Criticising stuff I like, and pulling it apart to see how it ticks is literally my biggest hobby, so, no problems enjoying it there.

I would honestly keep most of it, so here's a list of some of what I'd remove instead:

The inconsistencies between httyd 1 ending and RoB opening - mostly to do with the dragons' integration into Berk and the new infrastructure for the dragons.

Stoick's inconsistent and easily swayed opinion on the dragons - he would never allow them to be banished from Berk unless he was physically forced to. They saved Hiccup's life, they pretty much are Hiccup's life, and he would never dishonour Valka's memory by going against her ideals (esp since her son basically redeemed her weirdness by proving her right 15 years later).

Gothi's role - she shouldn't be the only healer on Berk, she shouldn't even be a healer. They made new characters for Mulch, Bucket, Mildew, Johann, Silent Sven, Alvin, Savage, Dagur and Heather (and most of those are males) so just kick one of those out and build a new healer for Berk (bonus points if its a relation of one of the Riders e.g. a Thorston).

Johann's villain arc - I've talked about this a lot already so I won't repeat myself but this was an atrocious direction to take.

Viggo's redemption happening off screen

Dagur's redemption happening off screen

the Hunters having exactly the same ships as Drago (who comes from outside the archipelago & is designed with a different aesthetic than the vikings)

inconsistencies with the Hunter's Lore

Ryker being forgotten - the brother of ur main villain???? hello?

Krogan being so inconsistent...

Where are the women warriors???

Defenders of the Wing Lore Inconsistencies

Mala's whole personality - during the trial episode and marriage episodes especially

nearly every woman has a love interest

Dagur x Mala (not necessarily the ship - fandom adds depth to it tbh - but just how the show itself handles it)

Throk x Ruffnut (it's fine its just boring and doesn't add anything)

Gruffnut. the man annoys me - his design is lazy, his voice is annoying, he has an intruiging opportunity to add depth to the thorstons but is never utilised

Agnut. same as above

Astrid being in love with Hiccup but only in a conventional "im a woman and I will get jealous at any opportunity" kind of way

Gustav's lack of character development

the A team should not include those characters. Bucket and Mulch are farmers WHAT are they doing here. Gothi is old as fuck and she's got important shit to be doing (like apparently being the ONLY healer on Berk - srsly what r u gonna do when she dies?). Spitelout is on the Berk Council and is one of the main leaders of their military, why would he want to be bossed around by a 19 yro. the only one who makes sense is Gustav.

why does Astrid have to build the A team at all?? shouldn't Stoick or the entire military force of Berk teach themselves to use dragons to fight off invaders????

Astrid being so inconsistent with her suspicions and cautions.

Astrid randomly deciding to be Mother to dragons like Garf and throwing away all her military training and paranoia to bring said dragons on actual military operations??? like just say you needed a conflict and picked The Woman to throw under the bus.

Heather's (and Oswald's) mild backstory inconsistency.

Heather being a femme fatale.

Posing for the camera

The Wingmaidens - they're an obvious scramble to add female characters but they fall short on believability and worldbuilding.

The Bewilderbeast beneath Beserker Island. I don't like how... fucky.. this makes the plot. We didn't need this, we could have just ended on Johann & Krogan heading towards Valka's mountain, which could explain why Hiccup was still exploring the archipelago in httyd 2. then we could have done a post-credits-esque scene with Valka decimating Johann and Krogan. boom, vibes preserved, plotholes kind of prevented.

ok theres probably a lot more but this was all i could think of. Ik it looks like a lot but most of it is just tweaking canon. the majority of RoB, DoB, and RttE are wonderful. otherwise I wouldn't give half of a shit about them.

MASTERLIST

——————————

Hiccup had left Aja completely alone for the day, for once, having gone to lead a dragon raid in Astrid’s place. However, turns out that wouldn’t matter because she unfortunately had run into Gobber on her trek to the Great Hall for some lunch, roping her into being his personal assistant for the time being, since she “had nothing better to do,” as he had said.

A breeze swept through the forge from the open windows and doors, carrying with it the scent of ash and metal. Aja’s hands were smeared with soot and grime as she finished sharpening a sword, the sound of a hammer clanging against anvil filling the background.

Gobber limped over, his own prosthetic leg being a wooden peg, and peered over her shoulder with an approving nod. “You know lass, ye ain’t half bad at this,” he remarked as he examined the blade, spinning it around with his good hand.

She wiped the sweat from her brow, a small smile breaking through. “I used to do this with my father,” she replied, a flicker of nostalgia crossing her features, remembering the days spent with him in a sun-drenched metalshop. “He said it was good to know how to craft a weapon, so I could make the best to fit myself.”

She hadn’t shared more than a few brief exchanges with Gobber since being on Berk, and they were always when she was with Hiccup. She’d notice him hovering in the background though, always keeping a watchful eye. She didn’t know if they were related in a way, like an uncle of sorts, because Hiccup interacted with him differently than he did the other adults in the village, less formal, and he let Gobber touch him. That was something Aja picked up on, Hiccup only let certain people touch him. She had watched the few times Hiccup didn’t even flinch or react when Gobber’s beefy arms wrapped around his narrow shoulders, the strength of them even sending him stumbling sometimes.

“Good skill to have. Smart man,” he said, setting the sword down and leaning back, crossing his heavily scarred arms over his broad chest.

She nodded, “Yeah, he was…” Her voice trailed off. She was used to being on her own at home, her father always being on missions, busy leading the village, she barely got to see him, but yet, she missed him now.

Gobber watched her, picking up on her distant expression. “Stoick passed just a year ago,” he said, his words gentle.

Her brow furrowed, trying to recall the relevance of the name. “Stoick?”

“Hiccup’s father,” he said, his gaze shifting towards the window. “That’s him on tha mountain.” He gestured with his hook hand, and Aja moved to peer outside, spotting the towering stone Viking that had been carved into the mountainside along the Great Hall. She had seen it before, but didn’t know that it was Hiccup’s father.

She wasn’t sure if it was Gobber’s intention, but she did feel a little less alone, knowing someone else had gone through something similar to her. Yet, she felt sympathy for Hiccup, that he had to lose his own father so young, that he had to become chief so suddenly, finding it frustratingly unfair.

Her attention was suddenly broken and drawn to a series of squawks that echoed from the courtyard. She looked to see Astrid soaring in on Stormfly, still clad in her dragon scale armor, meant to mimic the aesthetic of her own dragon.

“Hiccup here?” Astrid asked as she dismounted, stepping into the forge and eyes scanning around frantically.

“He left for a raid this morning,” Gobber replied.

She groaned, sound rich with frustration. “Well, tell him to find me when he’s back,” she said, tone impatient.

“Aye.” Gobber returned back to work on the ax he was repairing.

As Astrid turned to leave, Aja felt her diminishing opportunity for answers slip away. Did she find the scouts? Did she find something from her father’s ship?

“Wait, so what happened?” She blurted out.

The blonde woman paused, an uncertain expression on her face as she glanced at Aja. She hesitated before finally replying, “I need to talk to Hiccup first.” Her voice was firm, but there was an underlying reluctance. “But don’t worry, he will tell you.”

With that, Astrid mounted her dragon again, taking off into the sky without another word, leaving Aja behind on the ground. The beat of Stormfly’s wings faded into the distance as Aja felt an onslaught of frustration and anxiety as more was left unanswered.

She took a deep breath, attempting to quell the storm of emotions. “I’m getting more wood,” she muttered, the excuse sounding hollow even to her ears, but she didn’t care, leaving the forge and rushing toward the forest.

Each aimless step away was a desperate attempt to escape the reality that her father was probably gone, in the he’s gone to Valhalla sense. She felt small beneath the canopy, the world suddenly grown vast and unwelcoming. Fallen branches and brush cracked beneath her feet as she ran, the scent of the damp earth and decaying leaves filling her lungs. She wanted to scream, to rage against the universe. The trees around her blurred as tears began to fall, hot and relentless, carving trails down her cheeks. She wiped at them angrily, but they only flowed faster, each drop a bitter reminder. She was angry at her father, angry he threw away his life as if it were a mere trinket, for vengeance, vengeance he didn’t even get to fulfill, leaving her behind, alone.

The ache in her chest grew unbearable, a physical manifestation of her grief that constricted her lungs. She stumbled into a small clearing, her legs buckling beneath her, as she collapsed onto her knees. She wrapped her arms around herself, and the weight of everything came crashing down. Sobs erupted from her body, raw and anguished, shaking her violently.

“You were supposed to be there for me!” She wailed, the word spilling out between gasping breaths as her fury bubbled to the surface. She felt betrayed.

Aja buried her face against her knees, unraveling as each sob pulled at the threads of her heart, the forest becoming a witness to her sorrow. Time slipped away, moments stretching into infinity as her cries faded into quiet whimpers.

The sound of a cracked branch made her look up, locking eyes with Hiccup and his dragon, who were both frozen midstep, wide eyed and stiff as statues.

Aja’s cheeks were streaked with the remnants of tears, glistening like dew on a spider’s web. The air was thick with tension as their gazes stayed locked. Toothless cooed softly, and in that heartbeat of a moment, time became elastic, stretching and pulling at the edges of reality, the world fading away and leaving only them in this fragile bubble, as everything became suspended in motion. Without fully understanding the impulse, Hiccup stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. The gesture was awkward, her body remained stiff against him as her arms swung limp by her side, but slowly, he felt her surrender, pressing her forehead against his leather padded shoulder. It was a fleeting moment of solace amidst the chaos, and Hiccup realized, that maybe he needed to be held too.

He pulled away abruptly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “So, um,” he began, “We should talk.”

Aja took a deep breath, regrounding herself. “It’s bad, yeah?” She replied, sarcasm lacing her words, but the tremor in her voice betrayed the bravado she tried to muster.

“Yeah, just a bit,” he admitted, eyes softening.

“Go on, shoot,” she urged.

Hiccup hesitated, “You don’t wanna..?”

“I’d rather just hear it now,” she insisted.

He slowly let out a breath of air, clenching and unclenching his hands before speaking. “Astrid couldn’t find the scouts,” he began. “She said Stormfly was only able to track them until the middle of the ocean, then the trail went dead. So, I don’t know.”

The words hung in the air, heavy as Aja processed what Hiccup said.

“They’re gone?” She asked.

“I don’t know, maybe?” He replied, running a hand through his tousled hair.

An added emotion crept in, guilt, piling into the chasm in her heart. Because of her, they were potentially dead, lives lost as a consequence to her existence. She couldn’t stay there, she wouldn’t let anything else happen as a result of her.

“I need to go home.”

Hiccup stared at her incredulously. “Absolutely not, I’m not letting you.”

The sun had begun its slow descent in the sky, now dipping below the tree line, rays of light shining through the foliage in golden specks. Aja was irritated he even thought he had a say in her decision. “My people need me.” She did not relent.

Hiccup shook his head, his freckled face set in a grim line as auburn hair caught the sunlight, casting a soft glow. “You especially can’t go back now, it’s too risky. What good are you for your people if you’re dead?”

The wind rustled through the trees, carrying the scent of pine as she clenched her fists, her nails biting into her palms as she fought to control her rising anger. He was right, but she had to find a way to turn this around.

Then she had an idea.

She took a deep breath, steadying her voice. “I’ll stay,” Aja said, pausing, “but let me look for my father.”

Hiccup groaned, rubbing his temples with his fingers, as if trying to ward off a headache. “It’s been over two weeks,” he said, exasperation clear in his voice. “Your dad isn’t off somewhere in the wilderness of Berk going unnoticed.” He gestured wildly at the forest around them, his frustration spilling over. “And I’m sorry, but there’s no way he survived on some driftwood out there.”

Aja’s jaw clenched as she fought to keep her emotions in check. She knew the truth hurt, but who’s to say she was looking to find him alive, at that point, she was more desperate for answers, what had happened to their ship? She took a step closer to Hiccup, any trace of her previous sadness wiped away, her eyes never leaving his. “You let me look for my dad, and I stay. Deal, or no?”

After a long moment, he scoffed and threw his hands up in exasperation, the wind ruffling his hair, making him look even more disheveled. “Fine, deal,” he said.

“Perfect. We’ll go first thing tomorrow,” Aja stated, her tone crisp, as if she were merely discussing the weather.

Hiccup’s mind stumbled over itself. “Huh? We?”

“A deal’s a deal, Chief,” she said firmly. “You’re going with me. I don’t know the land.” With a swift motion, she turned on her heel, stalking past him. “C’mon, Toothless,” she called, and the Night Fury responded immediately, scurrying to her side.

Hiccup stood dumbfounded, watching as they began to walk away, the sound of Toothless’s feet padding against the dirt ground. The young chief’s mind raced, processing what in Thor’s name he just got himself into.

HTTYD: Viking Values

If the Vikings in HTTYD had been depicted as having their own unique, Nordic inspired culture, instead of merely having a pop-culture Viking aesthetic, this is what I imagine they would value, and also how these values/virtues could be twisted into darker vices.

As Hiccup says, these Vikings have stubbornness issues. From this we can infer that they’d value determination, resolve, fortitude etc. They might say “we take what we want”, which could mean anything from fighting for what is theirs (their home, family, honour etc) to being competitive and stubborn, to aggressive raiding and pillaging.

They are obviously a warrior culture, with a strong emphasis on valuing physical strength and prowess. For example, in ‘Thawfest’ the Games can be seen as a way to test and show off strength, endurance, balance, co-ordination and so on. To them, war and fighting is the best way; the only way; to protect what is theirs. The focus on physical strength can be corrupted into toxic masculinity.

Then there’s the values embodied by their gods. Judging by the sculptures and statues on Berk, the Hooligans mainly worship Thor and Tyr. Thor is the Ideal Warrior, embodying the values of loyalty, honour, courage and duty. These are clearly the values that Stoick and Astrid try to live up to. On the other hand, loyalty and duty can become blind obedience, whilst honour and courage can become recklessness and a toxic ‘death before dishonour’ attitude.

Tyr is a god of law and justice. If the Hooligans worship Tyr as one of their patron gods, as it were, this suggests they hold justice in high regard. This could be a reason they accept dragons once the war is over. For centuries they assumed that ‘justice’ would only come after killing as many dragons as possible, only to realise that the Red Death was the true enemy, and justice was served with her death.

As for the other tribes, I think the Outcasts patron god would be Odin, who actually is the patron god of outlaws. He would also be worshipped by the Berserkers, along with Thor. “Those favoured by Odin are distinguished by their intelligence, creativity, and competence in the proverbial ‘war of all against all’. ” (Norse Mythology for Smart People). On the other hand, Odin is also a cunning schemer with little respect for rules, laws or fairness.

Overall I think a HTTYD Viking who lived up to these values would strive to be some combination of determined, strong, loyal, just, honourable, courageous, dutiful, intelligent, creative and competent.

However, they might also stray too close to the vices and be stubborn, competitive, toxic, reckless and/or a schemer.

Long Live the Chief! by Noctus Fury

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my final round of edits based on this scene. This time, it's Dagur the Deranged!

Normally, I'd start with him first, but since there were several edits, I couldn't get this done as quickly as I wanted, so I started with the others first. (Skrill, Heather, Funeral, and Osvald)

The first edit above is pretty much the same as the others. The only difference is that Dagur is there, along with Osvald's helmet and shield. There's also blood splatter on it.

Scenario: Wanting to prove that he killed his father (which he didn't, apparently) after it's discovered that he disappeared without notice, Dagur grabs his father's helmet and shield and paints it in sheep's blood before presenting it before the Elders of the Tribe, making up the story that he killed his father in a duel in accordance to Berserker Law near the cliffs when Osvald fell off the edge and drowned. A couple of his supporters stand up as "witnesses" of said duel. The Elders then have no choice but to name Dagur the New Chief, since it's impossible to find and confirm the body.

Above we see the helmet and shield close to Dagur and covering his left leg. The reason being is that his foot is missing, since in the original photo I took this pose of Dagur from, Stoick's massive shoulder was blocking it.

Scenario: Dagur poses and shows off and brags of his glorious (made-up) victory over his father and had no qualms about elaborating and exaggerating every detail down to its goriest syllable, causing excitement to ripple among the Berserkers, who've been cruelly and unjustifiably forced to avoid battles and raids by the weakling Osvald, and were hungry for blood!

Here, Dagur gloats over his "victory" with the Berserkers watching in silence, listening to his every word. I added cheering Berserkers in the background outside the door.

Scenario: Dagur laughs maniacally, his blood flaring up in excitement at the prospect of more bloodshed, more battle, more glory.

"Would any of you wish to challenge me on this?" demanded Dagur. "SPEAK UP!! If any of you object to my becoming the New Chief of this honorable and glorious Tribe, PLEASE, SPEAK UP!!! I am willing to duel whomever disagrees."

There was silence. The younger Berserkers, eager to do battle after many decades of peace, looked at Dagur as one would a Hero from bygone days of yore in the Sagas. Some of the older ones, who had followed Osvald for a long time, were skeptical and looked on disapprovingly, but said nothing after reading the atmosphere in the room and judged prudently to keep their counsel.

For this final edit, I removed the helmet and shield in favor of just adding Dagur. In addition to the cheering Berserkers outside the door, I also added cheering Berserkers inside as well. (I took these from the View to a Skrill episode.)

I actually really like the aesthetics of it. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself. 🧐🍷

Scenario: It was silent, but soon chants of "Dagur! Dagur! Dagur!" and "Long Live the Chief!" and "All Hail Your Mighty Nuttership!!" began shaking the air with the thunder of scores of cheering Berserkers hailing their new lord.

Long live the All-Nutty Chieftain of the Berserker Tribe!

<><><><><>

What do you guys think? Did I do good or what? 😁 I hope you guys enjoyed my Berserker edits and my scenarios for these edits. Hope you have a lovely week! 🥰

Long Live the Night!

[books-fishlegs-was-awesome]

what are your top favorite httyd ships?

Ooooh this is a hard one! I assume you mean out of everything?

For the movies it's definitely Snotlout x Fishlegs (Snotlegs I think), but I'm also a big fan of Dagcup for the aesthetic. So pretty. Stoick and Valka is real cute too.

Anyway, in the books I don't have all that many actual romantic ships- but I am a fan of Thuggery x Hiccup. I don't think it has a name, I just like their vibes.

OH and Tuffnut Jr. + Speedifist is a really cute one. But I mostly just see them as besties! xD

And, again, big sucker for Stoick and Valhallarama.

I'm a huge mutlishipper btw, if you couldn't tell.

[hiccupbutpurple]

Boom Zephyr in a Winter Outfit

I tried to reference Stoick with the belt scale thing (even tho many characters have that but it’s always stood out to me the most in his deign - probs being due to his beard being in the way of the top half of the scales so it looks more like it’s own piece thing) and wanted to keep it silver but decided I should add another dart reference along with the strike class broach.

In canon she has blue eyes but in my head they are green so I went with a teal colour.

She has a bow but idk how to draw that, especially with a cloak tbh. I like the white but I endeared myself to the brown since it was easier to work with, plus I feel like it adds some more warmth and charm to it (and she’s an adventurer so white would probably turn to brown from the dirt anyway)

More variations + the outline under cut

It’s very easy to see how I started drawing the bow only to realise physics exists. Now it’s just a fun aesthetic strap, it probs has something though.

The black was to reference dart, her flight outfit will probs have mainly black but I didn’t really like how it looked.

[yellowvixen]

Initially I thought Knuckles and Jet could fit equally good as either Dagur or Snoutlout (I'm never getting used with his original name LOL), but then nah... Dagur is too much villainous in the start, like he is deliberately such a madman and had such a charisma being that villain and was so into being like that by his pure free will plus the way he was used to see the world and such that not Knuckles or Jet can fit, none of them were ever evil to begin with, one was misguided and the other is just not exactly good as well.

Knuckles being there was only guided by the aesthetic since you're considering Blaze to be Heather and then the two ✨guardians✨would be the siblings and it made sense to me for a time.

Meanwhile I just thought on Jet because of SatBK, as many point out Lamorak and Percival are siblings in the Arthurian Stories, that's it...

Buuuuuut y'know what, or rather who, have a personality that matches with Dagur? Infinite! Yes, I'm suggesting him, I feel like he has the vibes to take Dagur's role.

Then we get who would be Snoutlout and a further thought put Jet out, Initially they seemed equally perfect as them both have that dynamic, like they hype themselves and even boast like they were better than Sonic, but then the narrative is like "actually, Sonic is just as good as them... I think he's even better lol" if it even makes sense...

But then, let's be real, if there's something ridable in the universe, Jet is doing that years before than Sonic (Uh, he could be one of that group that raises the kind of dragon Heather rides, which I'm not sure of the name in the original dub)

Also, Snoutlout is kinda like Hiccup's first rival, just like Knuckles, so yeah, Knux is the better suíted.

I won't lie, I also think Vector could work as Snoutlout, his attitude + the soft and sensible side he gets in the series (and I think were carried to the second and third movies I need to rewatch) + the kid he have quite a quarrelsome big-lil bros dynamic with made Vec just pop around here

So in short, I invaded your Ask Box to suggest you to put Infinite in Dagur's role and that somehow I suggest Knuckles and Vector equally to Snoutlout's role

I thought about the twins too, but the fact one of them ends with Fishleg, who iirc is Tails, makes it harder

Yeah Jet never really wanted to KILL Sonic so he doesn't quite fit Dagur, and as you say Knuckles was just misguided and eventually becomes besties with Sonic - which is why I feel he works better as Snotlout too!

I DID actually think of Infinite as Dagur!! Even before Blaze as Heather (which might have been Chaz's idea I don't remember who said it first now lol). Cuz he definitely does fit how Dagur acts in riders/defenders but not really in rtte where he has a complete personality change and decides to be good sjfjdhfgd. But it could still work perhaps... there's enough reformed Infinite aus out there that it wouldn't be TOO weird lol. I'll see I'll see, again I'm not sticking with all the canon relationships so he doesn't have to be Blaze's brother if I do have him as Dagur.

Also I'm crying do you mean Mala? Jet as Mala, queen of the defenders of the wing? Who ends up married to Dagur?? Maybe you meant one of the others but I'm LOSING it at Jet/Infinite... that's so funny I've never considered that ship ever. Yeah why not Jet can be Mala LMAO

I don't think I would consider Vector as Snotlout (sorry) just cuz I wanted the main squad to be the classic characters y'know? And Shadow lol. That said, my original line up was Jet as Snotlout, Tails as Fishlegs, Knuckles as Tuffnut and Amy as Ruffnut. However. And I'm very sorry about this... I just don't like Jet. I don't have any real reasons, I just don't lmao so I didn't want him to be part of the main gang ^^;

I did have a vague thought of Vector being Gobber but idk... if he was he definitely wouldn't have the same dynamic with Aleena that Gobber and Stoick do lol!!

Someone mentioned Sticks as Tuffnut which is hilarious but they wouldn't have the same dynamic as Ruff and Tuff so idk. That's why I thought of just having 5 of them rather than 6 and not having twins at all (rip). Amy and Knuckles can still have the headbutting dynamic as they're both pretty hot headed, they don't need to be related to do that!

If we wanna talk about canon httyd relationships then Fishlegs also dates Heather in rtte, as well as Snotlout having a GIANT gay crush on Fishlegs in one ep, and the both of them fighting over Ruffnut in the 2nd movie. So like I'm not gonna be doing all that don't worry skfhfhsgs I'm picking and choosing the dynamics I like and want to keep.
