i remember being a kid and when httyd came out my friend and i were like That's so stupid that he named the dragon Toothless if I had such a magnificent beast i would name it something suitable like Panther.

“What if…toothless is girl”

I joked that it would be a funny plot twist if Toothless turned out to be female and the Light Fury was actually male.

NO LIKE IT’S SO POSSIBLE. So near to nothing is known about the night fury prior to Toothless. literally all that is know is “The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this dragon. Your only chance: Hide and pray it does not find you.” like you cant get any more vague then that. throughout the movie Hiccup is literally discovering all new things about dragons through Toothless, so its easy to believe that Vikings know even less about dragons then they or really anybody thinks.

        in the second movie Toothless is discovering things about himself and his species that even he didn't know. the nubs on his head signify his age, his spinal spikes opening that help him while flying, and his  dominance display. Valka likely discovered the significance of the nubs from other dragon species likely related to the night fury or with the nubs as well, along with the spinal flaps. the spinal flaps also may be an evolutionary trait to weed out the strongest of the species for mating. Hiccup never questioned the new nubs growing through the years something he had to have noticed?

        by the third movie I feel like with the introduction of a mate for Toothless the only thing we suspected discovering was what the Light Fury could do and how they differ from Night Fury’s. However with the ability’s shown even In just the trailers we know the Light Fury’s has the incredible power to disappear which we thought was unique to her species because in nature it can be dangerous for animals to be pure white. Also from the trailer we saw that Toothless was finally living up to the statement “The unholy offspring of lightning” I think most assumed it was just a method to attack but instead it was the night Fury’s ability to cloak as well. another thing Toothless didn’t know he could do. Toothless is completely enamored with the Light Fury the moment he smells her and even more so when he sees her, I feel through this that Fury’s probably find mates through Pheromones and smells. With how trusting they were of each other when they first came together in the forest it’s likely Fury’s also imprint on one another to keep the species going. So in short new ability’s Night Fury’s are capable of by the third movie: imprinting, channeling lightning, and become invisible.

          With all of these abilities being hidden or just not know to hiccup or even Toothless himself its easy to suspect that Toothless could without a doubt be a girl. NOT TO MENTION FISHLEGS, the guy who is suppose to know EVERYTHING about dragons doesn't even know his dragon Meatlug IS A GIRL. so we know that a hand full of dragons present sexual dimorphisms but it appears that the Vikings have no way to tell if the dragon is male or female besides when they come back from winter migration with babies.

          so now its just a question of if Night Furies have sexual dimorphisms and if so which aspects of them do you apply when there is no other night fury to compare. looking at the Light F uries would be the next best option if there was a definitive male to point to. i talked about my theory on the “male” Light Fury is i previous post you can find HERE so for now i will be comparing our Light Fury and the Light Fury with what looks like a baby. we’ll call that dragon “Buff Light” from now on. so at first i thought that maybe buff Light was just an older female Light Fury since they had a baby and their main nubs were about twice as long as our Light Fury.

          since Light Furies don't have jaw nubs to signify age i thought oh it must be a much older dragon, but watching the 10 year jump neither Toothless or the Light Fury has changed in appearance. no new or longer jaw nubs on for Toothless, and no new nubs or age signifiers at all on the Light Fury. so either that means that the ear nubs (the part of the dragon that helps echo locate) can range in length and also ability to hear, or it is a second sex characteristic. the buff Light Furies head is also much clunkier then our light bury, very reminiscent of how DreamWorks used to differentiate between the dragons sexs, and honestly made nearly each dragon unique.

            lets look at the actual Night Light now for sexual dimorphisms. At first the models that were used for the night lights look near identical to Toothless, what a night Fury baby might look like. But if you look closer they take aspects of each parent and combine them but all the models are the exact same instead of each night light having and individual and unique model. the Night Lights have: 4 nubs on each side of their head, head/spine/tail spikes, limb fins, bat shaped wings, a mix between a nigh fury tail fin and a Lights furies with the smaller flukes attached to the main fin, and a second pair of digited wings that trail down the tail like the Light Fury. so not even between the night lights is there no sexual dimorphism, at least that i noticed or that is shown when they are young.

so it seems that with what were given by DreamWorks, there isn't a way to tell them apart. there is no reason for anyone to believe that Toothless is a boy or the the Light Fury is a girl other then the Vikings think it so, even DreamWorks has gone back on the sex of a dragon before. so from now on im going to be thinking of Toothless as a girl and the Light Fury as a boy.

A Loving Helping Hand

Summary: A little fic for @bitter-feat-dragons‘s crackship Hicclone. It's a particularly bad day for Hiccup's leg. Clone decides to give him a helping hand.

Author’s Notes: Clone is a character created by her in response to the RttE episode ‘Defenders of the Wing, Part 1′ as the team used Hiccup’s and Heather’s character model to create a bunch of clones. A crackship was created by yours truly, @bitter-feat-dragons, and I have honestly been shipping them ever since. :’D So enjoy!

Hope you enjoy, buddy! ;D

Chief Hiccup found it particularly difficult to get up that morning.

It wasn't that he was sore even despites all the dragon-related issues that needed solving. It wasn't that he was mourning as the loss of his father still weighed heavily on him. And though he worried about Drago and the possibility that he and his Bewilderbeast were still out there, it wasn't even that constant stress that plagued him today.

No, it was his leg again.

The stump, it was all that remained of his left leg after a harrowing battle with the Red Death dragon when he was only fifteen years of age, had been aching and it was the very reason why Hiccup had woken up even earlier than usual.

Phantom pain was a persistent foe that kept returning even now almost six years after the limb's loss.

It was a kind of torment that caused a burning, a stabbing, a nagging kind of agony in a body part that was no longer there. It gave Hiccup the annoying urge to wiggle toes he could not feel. As if the ghost of his lower leg was still very much present to haunt him, like it had a mind of its own.

Since becoming the Chief of Berk, Hiccup had picked up his father's habit of rising early with the sun to be there for his people in the months following his passing. But as he looked through the open window in the ceiling, he had not yet moved out of his own childhood room he still shared with Toothless, he saw that the sun had no yet even begun to rise yet.

Although some very dark clouds gave him the cause for his current discomfort. His stump did tend to hurt when a storm was approaching.

A deep sigh left Hiccup, still exhausted after yesterday. He knew his father's job had been difficult, but it had been only months and he was already too tired. And now much needed sleep evaded him because of that leg.

He bit back a groan, careful not to wake up any of the other two occupents in the bedroom, and attempted to stretch his left leg in a useless effort to try and ease the aching.

But it escaped. A pained groan did leave his vocals, accompanied by an anguished expression and a bite on his lower lip.

Strong arms around him tightened their grip on his middle and a pair of lips pecked a soft kiss on the side of his throat as a gesture of comfort, where one's face was currently burying itself in the crook of his neck and shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Came Clone's deep voice, grown rugged by drowsiness. He spoke softly, aware that a sleeping Toothless was almost always in the room with them.

"I'm fine." Hiccup answered, swallowing the pain he was feeling in favour of trying to fall back asleep again.

"You're lying." Clone had always been a more reserved person and often spoke not a single word, but that didn't mean he wouldn't say anything the moment he caught his significant other on a lie.

Another deep sigh left the Chief of Berk and he briefly closed his eyes. He didn't feel like answering, that just meant having Clone worry and fuss over him and even less sleep for both of them.

"Hiccup." Came Clone again and this time in a more demanding tone. He pressed his chest even more against Hiccup's back in order to adjust his hold a little and hug him more comfortably.

Even now Hiccup was very much aware that his lover was taller and broader than him. He couldn't deny the feeling of safety their current position gave him.

He supposed he had no other choice but to tell.

"My leg..." Another kiss was placed on his skin, except this time Clone had moved his tunic to gain access to Hiccup's shoulder as he spoke. A deep breath was released at this gesture.

"You need willow bark?" Clone asked, moving up to lean slightly over Hiccup on an elbow and his scruffy face came into view with that same warm smile Hiccup fell for well over two years ago. His long bangs, though his hair was much shorter than Hiccup's in the back, fell slightly over his equally green eyes.

His gaze, his smile, the scruffy beginnings of a beard on his chin, the chiseled jaw and cheekbones, Hiccup felt himself swooning all over again at the sight even in the middle of the night.

At least for that look of honest love that Clone held in his eyes just for him, Hiccup was compelled to give into his genuine kindness for tonight.

"Yeah, willow bark sounds great." He barely needed to say it when lips pressed themselves against his freckled cheek and a smile grew on his face. Clone got up from his spot on the bed, which wasn't all that wide to begin with and not at all suited for two. This was still only one of the first times he actually stayed over.

Hiccup did not feel comfortable sleeping in his father's room, which was the one his mother now occupied. They would have their own place soon enough once it was finished and it shouldn't be much longer now.

Without another word spoken, Clone moved to leave the room on bare feet.

"Thanks, Bear." Hiccup called after him with his nickname, just loud enough for his sharp ears to hear. He didn't need a response to know 'Bear' had heard him even as he crept down the stairs silently, minding Valka as she slept in the other room.

The Chief moved to lie on his back and threw the covers away from his torso as he stared at the ceiling and waited for the other to return. Just one short silent moment passed before he felt a dry and scaly nose push itself against the palm of his hand, which hung limp from the side of his bed. His smile persisted, despites the pain.

"Hey Toothless." Hiccup looked over and the Night Fury crooned softly as he came closer to nudge that same snout against his Rider's face.

"I know, I'm okay, Bud." He whispered, though he did not dare reject the affection.

Toothless must've known Clone left to get the healing bark downstairs and he was not leaving his side until the man returned and the phantom pain ws properly taken care off.

Hiccup wasn't sure what he had ever done to deserve these two, but they were here now and he thanked the Gods every single day for their presence in his life.
