HERE IS FUL FULL HICCUP COSPLAY OUT OF GREAT PHTOTO SESION

[dragonsbluee]

I'm trying to count how many times Hiccup is captured/kidnapped throughout both series, the movies and the short films, so here's my criteria:

Any time he is unwillingly moved from one location to another by a dragon, viking or other character.

This includes any dragons picking him up and flying off somewhere, even if he is okay with it later.

This does not include when Toothless/his friends drag him off to show him something.

Any situation that prompted the dragon riders to rescue him.

Any plans that involved him giving himself up or joining up with a villain/antagonist.

This does not include the time he and Dagur were trapped on that island together.

Any time he is tied up and led somewhere or locked up/held in place with a guard.

Here is the list of situations I have compiled in (hopefully) chronological order:

HTTYD

Congratulations, no captures or kidnappings.

GIFT OF THE NIGHT FURY

When Meatlug (accidentally) brings Hiccup along to the Rookery.

RIDERS OF BERK

S1E6 - Hiccup gets taken to Dragon Island.

S1E16 - Hiccup is captured by the Outcasts on their island.

S1E19 - Alvin Captures Hiccup and Toothless at the "Isle of Night".

DEFENDERS OF BERK

S1E20 - Hiccup gives himself up to Dagur as part of his plan with Alvin.

RACE TO THE EDGE

S1E1 - the Dragon Riders get captured by Daugr on a hunter ship.

S1E7 -The twins put him in prison (this one's just here because I think it's funny).

S2E6 - The Dragon Hunters capture him.

S2E11 - The Dragon Riders get captured trying to save the Skrill.

S3E1 - Hiccup is captured by Dragon Hunters while trapped on an island with Dagur.

S3E8 - Hiccup and Toothless get caught in a Dragon Hunter Trap and are kidnapped and forced to participate in dragon fights.

S3E12 - Viggo captures all the Dragon Riders at the auction.

S3E13 - The Defenders of the Wing capture the Dragon Riders.

S4E3 - First Hiccup is caught by Amos and Berthel.

S4E3 - Then he's caught by Savage.

S4E3 - Then Krogan gets him after Throk saves him.

S4E3 - Ryker captures him for the tiniest bit right before the riders arrive.

S4E10 - Hiccup is caught with Ruffnut when he tries to rescue her from Viggo's trap. Unlike the other traps, he needs the other dragon riders to rescue them.

S5E2 - The Sandbuster captures Hiccup and Snotlout.

S6E8 - Viggo hands Hiccup over to Krogan as part of their plan.

HTTYD 2

Valka kidnaps Hiccup and Toothless.

HTTYD 3

Grimmel captures the dragon riders.

HOMECOMING

Once again, no captures of kidnappings

Up For Debate:

There are a few situations which technically fit the criteria, but I'm not sure if they fit considering the context of the show:

S5E5 - the riders are stuck on Vanaheim, guarded by the Sentinels. (Rtte)

S1E3 - This is a technicality, but when Hiccup joins up with Dagur to keep him away from the other dragons. (Dob)

EDIT: I forgot that even though my criteria says that the time Dagur and Hiccup are trapped on that island together (S3E1 of RTTE) doesn't count, because he is joining up with an (at the time) antagonist, there is a moment when Hiccup is captured by Dragon Hunters near the end of the episode.

After careful discussion (aka me ranting at my roommate) S4E10 of RTTE is also moving from "up for debate" to the official list. These changes are reflected above.

This brings our official count to 22 captures/kidnappings!

Honestly, the hardest part about this was finding the distinction between being captured or being trapped and what I wanted to count. When Hiccup isn't captured, he spends a lot of time in traps.

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

There's several times in the movies, shows and specials combined that have Astrid build Hiccup up when he feels bad about himself. At least once in every movie, once in Gift of the Night Fury, a few times in the tv-show...

Hiccup does the same for her, he builds up anybody in his life, but I suddenly realize that Astrid will probably spend years if not their entire life together helping Hiccup through these moments of insecurity and self-deprication because of the way he was treated growing up.

[futurealchemy]

with the amount of times hiccup has had dragons scream directly in his ears at a very close distance, it would be surprising if his hearing wasn’t at least a little impaired honestly.

Wounded

Greetings, fellow hijackers, I return bearing gifts. Come and get yer daily dose of hijack whump 🙏

[dragonnnfly]

Hiccup made an amazing chief, because he was an amazing leader, but let us not forget that he hated it..

Hiccup never wanted to be chief, that just makes his “crowning” as chief even sadder

Everyone is cheering, as they should be, because it’s an important moment in their lives as well, but also because Hiccup deserves that kind of respect and support

But…

This is how Hiccup looked at the same time

He was sad and he was tired…

This was as wide as he smiled, and can you really call it a smile?

This was less than 24 hours after his father had died… he didn’t have time to mourn, and I stand by that

[evilwriter37]

Sometimes I wonder why I whump Hiccup so much.

And then I see pictures of him.

That guy is asking for me to whump him.

Like, LOOK AT HIM

And he looks great in ropes and chains too!

Hiccup, you are the ultimate whumpee.

[vvvoxal]

8 for vox?

she's gonna do it even if he says no

[femhiccy]

I had a really bad day... so catch a sad drawing. Unfortunately, I have only a small toothless plush to cheer me up :(

HICCUP COPSPLAY

here you can see my full hiccup cosplay from how to train your dragon 2

[oddsconvert]

Honestly, I know Felix is crazy and like he’s definitely tormented Josh in the main series already but I didn’t know he could get that violent. The way Josh sounds like he looks is a serious beating, like something probably could’ve broke. Like damn Felix, do you love him? That drabble just made me realize what he’s willing to do and it’s scary.

And the worst thing is, I can promise you that he can get a lot worse. Felix is terrifying. Absolute whiplash whumper - he'll be doting and enamoured one minute and the next he's beating Josh to a bloody pulp. Josh was in a very bad shape in that drabble, Felix did not hold back, he just saw red and ravaged him. He sees himself as the victim in that scenario too. Afterall, Josh scratched him... so his reaction was 'warranted' according to him :/

[hiccuphitdabong]

Hiccup dump!!!! Love this little guy!. Totally not making him unreasonably sad or anything!

@evilwriter37 here you are whumpmaster 🫡🫡

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

I cannot stop thinking of the way Hiccup sees himself. Rewatching parts of Httyd 1 and I can't help but notice that when Hiccup first finds Toothless he specifically says; "This fixes everything."

Not something along the lines of "now they'll have to respect me" or "this will get them to like" me or something similar.

No, he specifically wants to FIX everything. Like things are broken and only him killing a dragon will unbreak them.

[useless-moss]

Okay but the panic Dagur probably felt when Toothless initially reacted negatively to the dragon root antidote.

The fear. The helplessness. He'd been trying to help, trying to make things right, only to make it worse instead. He probably thought he'd accidentally killed not only one of the things Hiccup genuinely loves and cares about, but also Hiccup's main mode of transportation.

I imagine that, during bad pain days, Toothless would act as a bit of a living wheelchair. Hiccup's chance to still move around and be productive without feeling the urge to cry on each step.

The grief Hiccup probably felt in that moment too. It came out as anger because he needed to do something with that kind of emotional overload, but later he probably would've blamed himself. He was the one who got Toothless shot in the first place. He was the one who trusted Dagur. He probably felt like he'd gambled, and lost big time.
