#valka httyd

Attempted to tackle Valka’s cheekbones again. Progress is being made💪💪💪💪 with a bit of hiccup angst ofc🫶

[saturnniidae]

People give Valka a lot of shit which makes me sad bc her flaws are what make her interesting, and I LOVE thinking about her character.

Like, Have we considered how she had Hiccup at 20 and was married before that? Have we considered that, though she was in love with Stoick, marrying the Chief (or soon-to-be-chief) is a lot of responsibility? Have we considered how young 20 is and Hiccup takes after her in so many ways, not feeling ready for responsibility or wanting to settle down could be one of them? Have we considered she deliberately didn't come back because she maybe felt she wasn't ready to be a mother? Have we considered she loves Hiccup and Stoick so dearly but needed to live her own life? Have we considered how bittersweet the reunion really was because she realized she missed her chance to actually be a mother and how much the guilt of not coming back must've weighed on her?

I LOVE YOU VALKA HTTYD!!!!!!!

I made this drawing for my mom as a Happy Mother's Day gift and though I should share it here, too!

Thinking about how Hiccup in the movies is a total mamas boy who grew up without a mama

Hey so I've been *eating up* your TDP au and I looove everything you've made for it!! (The fact that I've finished season 6 yesterday is not helping aaaaa)

May I ask if Valka joins the party? Is she around?

AAAAAAA thank you thank you! Im so glad you enjoy it! It is my current brainrot and i have so many ThoughtsTM about it

And Valka is around......somewhere...... in Xadia.......

When she still lived in Berk she believed that peace was possible with the elves and dragons and did everything she could to convince anyone that they were not bloodthirsty monsters they had to fight. But of course no one believed her.

And so when she got taken by a dragon, after defending it and saving it's life during a raid, she figured that maybe Berk was hopeless and decided to stay in Xadia. (is this a flawed decision?? oh 100%. This action will have consequences in the future ;D)

And now 18 years later, she lives in the Uncharted Forest, helping and healing injured creatures and dragons and giving them a safe haven to reside in. She doesn't get many visitors, mainly because of the boundary spells that are set around her home, but she does get visits from her Sunfire elf friend who drops by from time to time to fill her in on things and ask for her help.

Recently though he's been trying to figure out what's been causing a corruption in the creatures of the region, and asked for her to keep an eye out for anything strange. Aside from that, the only other news Sandy has to share is that there's been a Sunfire elf terrorizing Berk. How strange. :)

Woman finally sees her son after nineteen years, and the first thing that comes to mind is to show him her dragon collection.

Honestly, respect.

i need everyone to know that Hunter by Paris Paloma is such a Valka song that i want to make an au animatic but i can't so all i got to show for it is a tumblr post trying to vent about it a bit so my brain doesn't explode from thinking about it so much

Valka's expressions in the httyd 2 storyboards are sooo amazing just look at herrrr she's so happy to share everything she knows with Hiccup and it's absolutely beautiful

I am such a sucker for these moments like she's so excited that she has something in common with her son and gets to share that with him despite all those years apart

[httydmood]

Only one day left!

[1000dactyls]

twenty years ago i held you in my arms! how time has flown, oh

(or: epic the musical’s “i cant help but wonder” + the hiccup and valka “flying with mother” scene in httyd2 made me bawl like a baby)

[thereweredragonshere]

You are the only artist or any creator, period, that I've come across where I absolutely love every single last piece with no exceptions. Do you think cloudjumper could look good in your style? If you got the time and the wish to try. :))

Thank you so much! That means a lot :)

Thank you so so much for asking this because I didn’t realise I was missing out on drawing this guy so bad. HE’S SO FUN????

This is the first time I’ve ever drawn him, so I do apologise if he looks a little odd, but there is so much potential for shape language with his four wings and I am going to explode.

Hiccup family stickers ❤️😭

Yet another reason to hate the hidden world

In the second movie Valka had eyebags and wrinkles. In the third she looked like a Victoria's secret model

THATS NOT THE SAME PERSON

httyd x klimt's 'the kiss'

thinking about valka and stoick ever since i saw that one damn hozier edit

[dragonnnfly]

I absolutely love how, in httyd 2, when Stoick sees Valka for the first time and walks towards her, completely silent, just staring at her as she begins to cry and beg him to speak, to shout at her, the dragons in the cave start closing in on Stoick.

Im sort of guessing neither of them notices, their eyes too fixed on each other, but these dragons were probably ready to defend Valka if need be, because they could sense she was scared.

And then… when they kiss, when she melts, the dragons move back, knowing, just from that, that she was okay, that the whole situation was okay.
