My first commission in a while, I love how the artist made this 🤩

Made by the amazing @chattonsdoodles-blog

[shima-draws]

So are we just playing “send Shima quick doodle prompts to shake off the rust”?

In that case, you can never go wrong with toothcup

AUGH...AUGUGHHG...

I haven't drawn them in YEARS thank you for this

Also like. I know initially my idea was that human Toothless could talk regularly like everyone else. But mute Toothless who can sign is also......so good......

This is Perry's fault for poisoning my brain /j

Sketch from an AU I'm currently thinking about involving a barren world, mutated everything, female Hiccup, human!Toothless, making friends and allies in the face of persecution and themes around family.

How Dare You?!

(Toothcup week ‘HTTYD3 AU’)

Toothless could smell something. It was oddly enticing, which was annoying, because he was perfectly comfortable right here with Hiccup. Watching his adorable, beloved, clever human play with bits of prey-skin and a charred stick. Listening to his voice eagerly chattering to about something called ‘the hidden world’, whatever that was. It sounded like a hatchling’s story time.

At last the urge to follow that odd smell became too strong. Toothless still didn’t want to leave Hiccup, so he nudged his human until Hiccup asked “what is it, bud?” He jumped around urgently. “You wanna go flying?” Hiccup got to his feet at last, and Toothless immediately scooped him up. “Whoa! Okay!”

Whatever was making the weird scent, it was coming from the woods of Berk. Toothless landed not far away and made Hiccup dismount, so he could approach with caution. Of course Hiccup tried to follow him. Toothless growled softly until his human got the idea and stayed put. Then he slunk forwards.

When he emerged into the fern-filled clearing, it was to see something very odd. A pure white dragon that looked like him. Well, a Night Fury, anyway. Only something was off - and not just the colour. This dragon was smooth, barely any scales at all, and there was a very strong female scent coming off of them.  

He hadn’t smelled a female-scent that strong before, and wrinkled his snout up. The female looked over her shoulder at him and purred. ‘Hello, alpha.’

His eyes narrowed. ‘Who and what are you?’

‘I’m just a lonely, lost drakaina in need of protection,’ she replied, slinking towards him. ‘As for my name, you can call me whatever you like, alpha…’

This close, her scent was overpowering. It made him sneeze. She recoiled. ‘Sorry. Please don’t stand so close… you smell kind of weird. No offence.’

The white dragon pouted at him. ‘Don’t you like it? This is my natural scent.’ She fluttered her wings to waft it at him. ‘It’s stronger than normal because… well, I don’t have to tell a strong male like you what time of year it is, do I?’

‘It’s summer.’

She purred. ‘No, silly. It’s mating season for us Furies. Just so you know, if you’ve been getting any urges, I am available.’ She stretched luxuriously.

‘No thanks. I almost forgot. Welcome to Berk. Help yourself to fish, don’t set stuff on fire, and no matter how annoying some of them are, don’t hurt the’-

‘Human!’ she snarled. It looked like when Hiccup scrunched his pillow up. She reared up and fired a blast over his shoulder at - his human, who hadn’t stayed put after all. Toothless leapt in the way and took the blast on his wing.

‘HOW DARE YOU!’ he roared at her. ‘I just told you not to hurt the humans!’

‘It was sneaking up on us!’ she protested, trying to get past. ‘It’s a threat!’

Toothless growled. ‘No, he isn’t. The humans here don’t hurt dragons. The one you nearly killed is my human. My best and dearest friend. Understand?’

She stared at him in disbelief. ‘Humans are dangerous! Quick, we must go!’ With that, she leapt into the air and flew away. Toothless blinked. Then he turned to check on Hiccup. “Woah. Did you see that? It was like a Bright…”

“A Light Fury!” Astrid exclaimed breathlessly. When did she get there?

“Yeah, yours is better, probably. Whoa, bud. What’s wrong?” Hiccup asked when Toothless nuzzled him. “I’m fine. Thanks for the save. Sorry for scaring off your new friend.” Toothless snorted. He wasn’t friends with that female.

A few days later, Toothless and Hiccup were flying off in search of this so called ‘hidden world’. They were accompanied by Astrid and Stormfly, Valka and Cloudjumper, and the rest of their friends. As they were gliding beneath the clouds, Astrid suddenly exclaimed “up there!” and pointed above them.

Toothless looked sharply, in case it was a threat. At first he didn’t see anything. Then a white silhouette that wasn’t a cloud soared past. That female was back. He caught a whiff of that overly strong scent of hers again and sneezed.

“She’s beautiful,” declared Astrid. Toothless wasn’t so sure. He thought she looked weirdly smooth. Why was she following them? As he watched, she flew through one of her own fireballs and disappeared. Toothless shrugged and kept flying. Then out of nowhere, he felt Hiccup get ripped off his shoulders.

His human yelled, and Toothless roared. He dived and easily swept Hiccup out of the air, then slowed to a hover and looked around for whoever had attacked them. The Light Fury reappeared not far away, looking confused. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked him. ‘I just saved you from that human on your back!’

Toothless snarled at her. ‘I need his help to fly, you idiot! And even if I didn’t, he’s my best friend. You could have killed him!’ She looked scared and fled.

“Man. She really doesn’t like me, does she?” remarked Hiccup.

‘I don’t like her either’ Toothless growled as she turned herself invisible again.

The hidden world turned out to not only be real, but beautiful. Toothless couldn’t wait to explore it further with Hiccup. On the way home they passed over an island and heard frightened roars coming from it. ‘Help me! Help me!’

Toothless recognised the Light Fury’s voice. “Did you hear that?!” asked Hiccup. Yes, he had, and now they were going to have to save her. Great. He flew down, followed by Stormfly. They found the Light Fury lying unconscious in front of some thick ferns and bushes that and no sign of her attacker.

Stormfly’s nostrils flared. ‘I can smell a bad human’ she snarled, and flicked a spine from her tail. It landed in the ferns and they heard a muffled cry of pain. Toothless promptly fired at the same spot despite Hiccup’s protest. When the smoke cleared, they could see a man with a crossbow dead on the ground.

The Light Fury jerked to her feet in alarm. Toothless and Stormfly landed behind her. She stared at the man’s body and exclaimed ‘you killed him!’

‘He was a threat! He was using you as bait to lure dragons in’ he told her.

She rounded on him and snarled. ‘You killed my human!’ Then she flinched, as if realising what she’d just said. Toothless’ eyes widened. ‘No, wait. I mean’-

‘You help him!” Toothless roared. ‘You were trying to help him kill me and Hiccup this whole time! HOW DARE YOU?!” Enraged, he leapt at and grappled with her. She shrieked and struggled, but she was weak compared to him, and he easily pinned her down. Then he began to charge another blast.

“STOP!” yelled Hiccup, running forwards. “Toothless, stop. Just let her go.”

Toothless hesitated. Hiccup would be upset if he killed her, and he didn’t want that. ‘I’ll spare you’ he growled at the Light Fury. ‘But if you try to hurt him again, I will kill you.’ Then he stepped back. She scrambled to her paws and fled once more, hopefully for good this time. Toothless snorted irritably.

“What was all that about?” asked Hiccup, reaching out to him cautiously. Toothless nuzzled his beloved human. In that moment he realised, even if the Light Fury hadn’t secretly been working with their enemy, he still wouldn’t have wanted to be her mate. All he really wanted was to stay and be with Hiccup.

I love how domestic it is. I imagine (if Hiccup had longer hair too) that they'd just braid each other's hair on a regular basis, just like this, I have this image/story in my head (of Toothless braiding Hiccup's hair too) and it's just perfect. Absolutely beautiful.

That runt of a dragon just isn’t going to give up. He was chased out of his elder’s den, away from the creek, his fish were denied and yet he continues this fool’s errand. The Night Fury would almost start to suspect something is physically wrong with the younger one if not for the fact that he has known plenty of people who were just as impossibly stubborn. Both in the human and dragon kingdom alike.

As today’s sun set, it’s been days since his little pain in his rear first showed up, the elder dragon exits his den and tries very hard to ignore the curious gaze coming from the brush as if he can’t see him. He has no idea for what reason the other could be so curious, he goes where he always goes this early in the night. First his creek for a drink and then he hunts in his lake.

The Runt follows as quietly as he can, sneaking through the bushes after him. Fortunately, he knows better than to do the hunting for him this time.

And after the Night Fury had his fill, he does what he always does. He finds a nice soft spot and takes a nap. There is nothing else that a dragon at his age should be doing. Teaching and playing with the youngsters, getting involved in pack politics, wrestling just for the fun of it is no longer for him. Napping the night away, that is perfect for him.

Or it certainly would be if the Runt doesn’t find some way to ruin that for him, too.

The Night Fury knows he’s there, watching from a safe distance. Somewhere where he can’t be scratched or bitten. However, he still remains well in distance for a plasma blast and he won’t even need to aim.

The rustling of the foliage disturbs him. The elder dragon’s eyes were only closed for a little while when the Runt moving noisily through the thick brush causes him to open one up and spot him swiftly. It’s not hard, he’s standing just feet away from him now.

When he growls to show how unwelcome he is, the smaller one quickly turns tail again and… He doesn’t run away this time.

The Night Fury lifts his head up, almost confused as the other puts distance between them, but doesn’t leave. Instead, he curls up on the grass himself, eyes uncertain for a moment. Then they disappear behind his pair of tailfins. He has a hard time lying still, needing to adjust more than a couple of times before he finally finds rest.

His elder watches with his agitation growing again, though this time it may not entirely be his fault. His curiosity, his endless stubbornness, his showy flight, his want to provide, his missing leg and that specific eye color. Every single one of these traits remind him of someone he doesn’t want to think about, because doing so still tears his soul in two even after all of this time. There’s a reason why he abandoned the surface after his death.

The Runt keeps his distance, respects his desire for personal space and by doing so brings the elder back to a very specific moment in his youth. When he was but a young Night Fury himself, trapped in a cove with an overly curious human boy who would not leave him alone and helped him find the love of his life.

His soulmate.

Despite all the conflicting emotions inside, the older dragon tries to lie his head down and close his eyes again. He tries to nap the night away, just like he’s been doing almost every night for years and years and years.

Because it’s less painful than facing the reality that human lifespans are so painfully short.

-XOXOX-

The Night Fury is old and not just by a mere few decades.

His memory isn’t what it used to be and he hates that he can hear someone’s laughter, hear them talk without recalling the words spoken, feel their touch and know exactly what they look like without being able to remember them properly. He knows facts. Auburn hair, forest green eyes, a freckled face, a missing leg, a lean physique. These are facts and individually, he can recall them clearly, but the full picture escapes him and that hurts.

It’s not the first time he dreams of his Human as he naps and it certainly won’t be the last. He spends his nights napping specifically because that’s when he’s the closest to him.

But that night, he dreams of his hands. Of how, sometimes, he would wake him up from a nightmare by bringing his fingers or the back of his hand close to his nose. His scent used to ground him, it gave him a way back, brought him to his Human without startling him awake and make a potentially bad situation even worse.

He smelled human, of the salty sea, the pine forest outside of home, of smoke.

And now there’s a dragon who smells exactly like him.

The Night Fury’s eyes snap open, the Runt is suddenly right in front of him. Still flat on the ground, head on the grass, clawed paw in front of his nose. He woke him up…

Exactly like Hiccup would.

The Runt must be expecting retribution, because he’s quick to climb to all three of his feet, turn away and take flight with a mighty beat of his wings when the elder lifts his head. With just a couple of flaps he’s already long gone and the Night Fury watches him go.

This is the first time in days that he’s a little sorry to see him leave.

[overlordofships]

oooo what got u interested in hookfang and snotlout as a ship. im interested to know :0 (if u still ship them haha)

I VERY MUCH DO >:3

Okay so when I was a baby fandom lad and just getting into HTTYD I remember shipping all the riders with their dragons, but back then the fics for that was like. 99% toothcup, 1% toothcup feat. other ships. So I could NOT for the life of me find any other dragon/rider ship fics solely for, say, Fishlegs/Meatlug, and then by extension I just didn't have any fuel for my shipping

Nowadays I'm more competent in making my own fuel. But for shipping any dragon and rider in HTTYD that is not Toothcup you have to watch the series to understand, since the pairings that aren't them don't get a lot of attention in the movies proper (henceforth all of this will be under the cut for how long it is):

First off, I will be talking about canon shippable moments. In the first season, there's an episode where Hookfang has a toothache (it's the one where the forge changes into a dentist, because Gobber doesn't have any reason to make weapons anymore) (sorry I forget episode names). There's a part near the end where big, macho man Snotlout breaks down in TEARS pleading for Hiccup to stop Gobber, outright sobbing the words, "He's gonna kill my dragon!" I remember just rewatching that episode over and over to the point of pissing off my mom and her telling me to watch something else, because it was the BIGGEST piece of non-Toothcup food I'd gotten fed up to that point.

The second season had an episode of Snotlout working Hookfang to the bone, to where Hookfang's flame went out and he got deathly ill. Snotlout CRIED, genuinely cried AGAIN over this (and this time it got called out by Astrid) and when he thought the Fireworm Queen had killed him, he just looked fucking BROKEN, and he even said "You're more than just another sword" (which I think is/was a line in our very small hooklout shipping community used to emphasize their relationship - they see each other not just as weapons to an end, they're more to each other than their strength even if that's what originally drew them to each other as dragon and rider).

Next up - this episode is Netflix-only which is heartbreaking for all you who don't have it. But there's an episode in either the first or second season of Race to the Edge (can't remember) where not only does Snotlout think Hookfang is leaving him (and the twins play it as a fucking love triangle tragedy the whole time) but he straight-up tells Hiccup that if he can't ride Hookfang, he doesn't want to ride a dragon at all.

I reference all of these to say that there's just something special to me about two people (or one person and one dragon) who are normally cold, standoffish and outright cruel to other people, but become absolutely soft and vulnerable when it comes to each other. There's a difference there to me between that and how Hiccup is nice to everyone, but is just a special nice to Toothless. (I am still a very hard Toothcup shipper, don't get me wrong, but Hooklout at this point has firmly overtaken them as my OTP for HTTYD)

All of that said, because we unfortunately cannot see into Hookfang's mind beyond the obvious (he is a dragon and cannot talk - which is ofc a roadblock in one of my fics, but still) one of my favorite things to do is imagine the canon show but with my Shifter-verse, so here are some headcanons for anyone who wants them featuring Shifter!Hookfang and Snotlout:

Hookfang uses Monstrous Nightmare courtship, which involves either submitting himself to someone stronger or making himself seem tougher/stronger. All the times he hurts Snotlout are his unfortunate attempts at flirting. (Related: He also regularly, casually says, "If this goes wrong, I want Snotlout to kill me" and he also thinks that's flirting, too)

In my Shifter AU the episode with the Fireworm Queen turns out differently - he gets to that point because he thinks he's not enough for Snotlout. Maybe a snide comment from Spitelout got him there, or maybe something happened in a battle. Whatever it is, he does it himself - and then, later, when he's better, when Snotlout is all bawling and asking what the hell he was doing, Hookfang says, "I wanted to be good enough to be your dragon." and that would be big since in my Shifter-verse I think that wouldn't be something the dragons would say lightly

Related to number 1, whenever Snotlout does something really impressive strength or intelligence-wise, Hookfang just becomes this gooey, flirty, flustered mess. It's adorable to watch, but very confusing for poor Snotlout

The episode in Race to the Edge where Snotlout has to do all those trials to be Mala's king? Hookfang insists Snotlout do it because he will NOT stand for anyone implying his mate couldn't survive something (and Snotlout plans to turn Mala down afterward anyway)

Incidentally, Hookfang acts like Toothless is the most annoying dragon ever when he talks about Hiccup... But if you let him Hookfang could give rants twice as long and just as sappy, if not sappier

Somehow, despite that, Snotlout WOULD NOT GET IT. He teases the hell out of Hiccup and Toothless, but prior to Hookfang actually using real words to say to Snotlout that he's in love with him, Snotlout would have 0% understanding that Hookfang is into him (that's also a trope I love, btw: two people very-obviously smitten with each other but one of them has absolutely no idea)

Hookfang just casually leaning on/draping himself over Snotlout in his human form, a quiet way of saying to everyone around him "This is mine" (and when they get together Snotlout starts casually sitting in Hookfang's lap)

Related to the above: Remember when I said Hookfang would casually say "If this goes wrong, I want Snotlout to kill me"? After they get together, Snotlout starts returning that phrase with, "Not if you kill me first". All the dragons think it's cute but the humans are just like "....what-"

They're also the most fucking dramatic when they get together. Hookfang sweeps Snotlout into his arms, DIPS him and then presses a big kiss to his lips. Right in front of everyone else. (Compared to Hiccup and Toothless who went out to the cove to confess to each other, and Fishlegs and Meatlug who quietly got together without even noticing)

Basically, what got me into them is imagining these idiotic, self-confident, sappy, oblivious, simpy morons looking at each other and saying "That one" and then somehow taking years to realize their feelings are requited despite them each being the only one the other will truly be vulnerable for

now I leave you with this screencap from the end of the Fireworm Queen episode

[coolfunstrawberry]

hiccup would DEFINITELY get turned on by toothless's voice. because i said so
