i love the idea that viggo's issue is that he's always overestimating the dragon riders and that's why he loses. other antagonists always underestimate them, they don't put in all the necessary precautions, which allows the riders to slip through, always throwing parties and gloating before the dragon is in the cage. but viggo?
my man takes so many precautions, his entire island is a war base, and yet, and YET the dragon riders got in by dyeing snotlout's hair blonde, giving him gucci boots and naming him sir ulgertorpe, SIR ULGERTORPE. viggo got catfished by snotlout with blonde hair. he's overestimating them so bad that the IDEA of them "just walking in" doesn't even come to mind. he's ready for fire and death to fall from the sky but a one-legged boy pulling a fast one on him breaks his fancy little english brain.
Ever fall in love with an artist in a different fandom and just think, "Wow, I love their style, I wonder what my favorite boy would look like in it?" That's the emotion I have around @luxmoogle! She draws (at least on that blog) for Kingdom Hearts, and I just desperately wanted to see her interpretation of Hiccup.
So I commissioned a sketch!
I then took the sketch to full color because I love coloring. This was a very fun project (and makes me want to do more collabs...)
Astrid’s importance in Hiccup’s life is often questioned, I've seen posts on how she has schemingly separated the inseparable HiccTooth and how toxic she is towards Hiccup among others. What people fail to realise that her squirm towards the idea of marriage did not arise from her jealousy towards Toothless, but Hiccup’s over reliance on him which resulted in her betrothed’s inability to measure his own worth and capabilities beyond the dragon. She had not been toxic to Hiccup ever since they entered into a relationship and has been his biggest support system ever since. She has been the first one to believe in him and ever since has been his right hand throughout. The compassionate lady who beneath her tough exterior is anything but is the one to hold onto Hiccup throughout the worst of phases in his life. The girl who trained from her childhood to be an incredible Dragon Slayer to bring back the lost glory of her clan went onto become one of the finest Dragon Riders in the history, beside her husband: to give the fearsome beasts a chance to prove themselves after being convinced by Hiccup. Astrid Hofferson Haddock is incredibly talented: acing anything she puts her mind to, be it dragon slaying or training and even drawing! She bloomed like a lotus in his love, and continued to spread the love but didn't lose her sight or practicality in love. She divided his schedule into manageable little stacks for him to analyse and review, fought alongside him to protect their island and the dragons. She had been nothing but a source of strength, hope and unbridled joy to her then betrothed, now husband. As a mother she is gentle yet firm, proud yet concerned, and just always available for her kids. Astrid is the love of Hiccup’s life, his wife and the mother of his children. The strong Valkyrie deserves nothing but respect for being a fabulous friend, a wonderful wife and a marvelous mother and an awe inspiringly skilled Shield Maiden, General and now the Chieftess of New Berk.
Do you guys ever wonder what would change if Valka went back or wasn’t taken at all. Because I do.
As much as I hate on Valka for abandoning her kid and being a shit mother, things really wouldn’t be better with her there.
Imagine having a extremest dragon hating father and an extremest dragon loving mother. It would be agony.
Hiccup is smart and smart in the way he can read people. He’s socially aware.
I imagine Valka would try to get Hiccup to share her love of dragons with her but it would probably backfire.
Hiccup in an already isolated world where killing a dragon is everything and is his only hope at becoming liked would not react well to being told to be friendly with the beasts. Imagine Hiccup being further bullied for his ‘crazy’ mother who loves dragons.
Hiccup canonly admired his dragon killing dad. Hiccup canonly did not give a crap about saving or being friends with dragons before Toothless.
It wouldn’t work in the long run either because there is now a high chance Hiccup wouldn’t become Gobber apprentice because Valka is now there. Which means no Toothless.
Hiccup would be further isolated. And from what I can tell, Valka is just like Stoick in the sense that she is driven by her extremest ideologies and doesn’t listen. Like Stoick she would push her own wants and desires onto Hiccup.
Wow, Valka being a horrible mother actually did some good. Thanks Valka for staying away. You should have stayed away forever.
I’m biased, I don’t like her. But still-
I FUCKING KNEW IT. I WAS SO RIGHT HAHA
I’m on S5 Ep1, and right after they established that they’ve won and have to go back to Berk, Johann shows up.
I know it’s not confirmed but HES SO A VILLAIN. I made an a post about this but I KEEP GAINING EVIDENCE.
Rewatching HTTYD2 made me so thankful that Ruffnut saw nothing in Viggo, Ryker and Dagur because if she simped over them the way she simped over Eret…woo boy that would not end well.
I have the funny little headcanon that Stan is just causally better at math than Ford now. Now Ford is still very very good at math but in the 30 years he was gone, he mainly used engineering math while Stan used a wide range.
So it’d be really funny for them when sailing across the world, and Ford documenting something using math and Stan will just peak over his shoulder and go “you’re missing a negative.”
It pisses Ford off to no end. (And makes him happy too)
I love the fact that the more you look and analyze Stan’s character more and more, the more tragic and sad it becomes.
Going from silly comedy man to haha im sobbing is not easy.
I’ve been reversed pranked and I am not enjoying it
Is it just me but I LOVE the fact that Caleb Wittebane haunts the narrative. He’s everywhere!
Happy sort of birthday to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
“you gave him his freedom hiccup. what were you expecting?” uhm, for him to come back?? like he did when hiccup originally gave toothless the fin that let him fly on his own?? obviously he didnt think that his BEST FRIEND would abandon him for a girl??
They/themLikes consuming media, art, writing, analysis, and my Ocs.I eat children for breakfast :3
