Massive Fan Of A Lot Of Rtte Just Being Hiccup Giving People Unimpressed Looks

As much as I love pondering what the httyd cast modern jobs are and what they do or study in college, we are ignoring the REAL question.

Who falls for the classic Nigerian Prince money scam?

Hiccup: Almost does fall for it. He’s smart but way too trusting of people. He would be suspicious but go along until he finds out it’s a scam either from Astrid or the Twins.

Astrid: Would see right through it. End up sending threatening messages back.

Snotlout: Would fall for it. Before he’s scammed, he brags about becoming rich. Afterward, he ignores everyone for 2 weeks.

Fishlegs: Would not fall for it. Politely declines.

Ruffnut + Tuffnut: Would end up convincing the scammer to actually give them the money. Succeeds.

Stoick: Ignores the email.

Gobber: Would fall for it right until giving the credit card info then scold them over email.

Heather: Would personally track the scammer down. Or would ignore it. There’s no in between.

Dagur: Falls for it. He’s threatens the person into giving him the money back. Gets more than what he gave away.

Viggo: Creates an elaborate scheme that ends up with the scammer losing everything they own, including the money that they tried to scam out of him.

Ryker: Ignores the email.

Johann: The scammer.

I’m only on s3 of rtte so if these don’t sound canon, that’s because they probably aren’t.

So apparently not everyone had noticed this, but… 

Hiccup is left-handed (this is the part pretty much everyone knows), BUT he actually tries to use his right hand sometimes when trying to “fit in” with the others, when he’s trying to act in a “traditional” way (and usually failing). 

The most prominent instance of this, I think, is the part where he finds Toothless tangled in the bola-ropes in the forests, and plans to kill him. During the “I’m going to cut out your heart…”/“I’m a VIKING!” speech, he’s holding the knife right'handedly. 

But then he can’t do it, because he’s not like everyone else, so instead he cuts the ropes to let Toothless free… And he uses his left hand to cut those ropes. 

He’s also seen holding weapons (or, well, trying to) right-handedly in dragon training. 

But yeah he’s clearly left-handed; he writes and draws with the left hand, he uses his left to do metalwork and so on and so forth. 

He’s fundamentally different from everyone else, and while the filmmakers never brought up Hiccup’s handedness the way the books did, they did something a bit more subtle with it. When Hiccup is doing something different, something he’s good at, he’s using his left hand, and that’s when he succeeds at stuff. He released Toothless from those ropes left-handedly. He made that artificial tailfin for Toothless left-handedly. He does things others don’t do, and that way, he makes new discoveries others never did before. 

It’s when he tries to be just like everyone else when things don’t work out for him. And the filmmakers subtly made him use his right hand during many of those moments. It’s what everyone else is doing, and they seem to succeed at it without too much trouble, but Hiccup isn’t just like them, so when he tries, he fails. 

And when we consider the whole left tailfin/leg thing between Hiccup and Toothless and how that becomes a fundamental part of their relationship…symbiosis…thing, it might sort of connect the symbolism to that as well (but I’ll have to think more about that before I could possibly make a sensible post out of it.)

SIGHHHHH WELL I GUESS I HAVE TO MAKE IT NOW

just gimme a sec

I’m always going to believe that Waddles is immortal. No that pig doesn’t have a lifespan what do you mean? He dies when Mabel dies and that’s it.

That pig is going to live on forever

Something I find really interesting about Stan’s character is how he believes fundamentally that he’s the stupid twin. When in reality he really isn’t and that makes for an interesting parallel between what we see and what he himself sees.

Stan has been conditioned from a young age that there’s only one of brilliance. And that’s in Stanford. The simple intelligence of picking up math and being extremely good with scientific research and knowledge. And because that’ll make money easier, their dad conditioned Stanford to be the ‘smart’ twin that was going places.

Stanley has been shown time and time again to be incredibly creative and socially intelligent (even book smarts too! He literally taught himself how to run a portal) but because that’ll wasn’t valued by his Pa it was shunned.

Stan absolutely could have been an author or comic writer but he thought that he couldn’t be. Stan had a future but it was conditioned out of him. He was told that he would only mean something if he was with Ford. He was told to not care about school work because he’s the ‘dumb one’. I firmly believe that Stan could have gotten wonderful grades or gone to college but because he wasn’t the favorite, that wasn’t an option. Stan is incredibly intelligent, he’s just intelligent in an unconventional way. And that unconventional way is kinda what ends up saving the world.

Filbrick pines they can never make me like you.

(Side Note: But there’s also kinda an interesting autism and adhd aspect related to them. Both the twins are heavily neurodivergent coded so I find it interesting that while Fords autism coded behavior and nerdiness because of that helped gain their Pa’s favor, while Stan’s ADHD behavior got him out of their Pa’s favor.)

I WILL be stealing half of Wesley’s lines for Hiccup in my Princess Bride AU because they fit perfectly.

“As you wish.” Hiccup says as he’s rolling down a hill.

I’m having Snotlout be Vizzini because I can see him just using the word “inconceivable!” Over and over again.

“He didn’t fall?!” Snotlout exclaimed. “Inconceivable!”

“You keep using that word. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.” Tuffnut says.

Hiccup and Tuffnut sword fight scene:

“My name is Tuffnut Thorston and you killed my sister. Prepare to die.”

“Do you happen to have six fingers on your right hand?” Tuffnut would ask.

“Do you always start conversations this way??” (Hiccups line.)

It fits almost too well. Every single scene that has the masked man in is just pure Hiccup sass and chaos.

so painful to think about tiny stan pines liking to draw and being so inventive and creative while thinking of himself as "a dumb idiot" and "the stupid twin"

I would let s5 She-Ra do unspeakable things to me

Me when I wanna be a hairy cis looking non binary person

When I say nonbinary people can look like anything I am aggressively including nonbinary people who have beards, body hair, and who are assumed to be cis guys, firstly because that’s also me and secondly because we’re always overlooked or subjected to cringe culture. Nonbinary doesn’t just mean skinny, pale and absent of gender signifiers.

[Don’t be an ass in the notes, I can turn off comments if I have to]

“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??
