I think what makes Hiccup so appealing to me as a character is that he's good. A lot of people act like characters with goodness and the desire for peace in them aren't interesting, but those are the aspects that make them interesting to me.

Hiccup is thrown into war multiple times, and we see him having to grapple with his feelings about it. He doesn't want to hurt or kill. He wants peace. But sometimes, he has absolutely no choice but to get into the thick of the fighting. Hiccup has blood on his hands as young as 15, and he sure as hell doesn't want it.

Because of these traits, we also see Hiccup try to resolve things in more peaceful ways. He'd rather talk or come up with a clever battle tactic than go right in for the kill. That's interesting too! It can be fun to look at characters like Astrid, a warrior at heart, who will go for the fighting, and it's is a lot of fun to look at the villains and their sets of morals, but Hiccup is just as interesting because of his goodness. There's appeal in that kind of character for me.

Uhm… hey. I don’t know if you take requests, so sorry if this is annoying. But in case, here goes. I see you’ve made a lot of nice gifs for the Nine Realms and was wondering if you have any in store for Webmaster? He doesn’t get enough love in my opinion. So, yeah, sorry for taking up your time. Have a good day/evening.

hi there!! first of all, thanks so much, im so happy you like my gifs!! to answer your question, ive kind of taken a bit of a break from my tnr characters in every episode series because things in life have just gotten extremely hectic as of the past like… year, with starting grad school n stuff, and it’s about to get even crazier since im about to start my second & final year of that. im not sure when i’ll return to it at this point tbh since ive been dedicating whatever free time i’ll have left for the foreseeable future to my other interests, but i hope i can find the time to get back to it at some point in the near future!!

also another random thought i had about tnr while i was watching the finale episode. i wondered how different it would be if the humans and the dragons actually decided to keep living together instead of it basically having the same outcome as in the 3rd movie, where they separated and took on their own separate lives? ( this post became long asf so im just gonna put it under a cut oop, & it also contains spoilers for tnr s8!! )

lemme explain — when httyd 3 came out, i remember that there were (and still are) a lot of disagreements with its ending since the whole message of the franchise seemed to be about two different species living in harmony and working together especially after their centuries-long history of being enemies, and a lot of fans voiced that the ending of the 3rd movie kind of betrayed that message. of course, the franchise's argument was that it wasn't safe for the dragons and the humans to be together because there will always be greedy humans out there to harm the dragons — in the context of the show, sledkin's and buzzsaw's "arcs" (if you can even call them that) were sort of modern reflections of that danger that could come to the dragons with their existence being public knowledge. of course, we can see this throughout the original franchise as well, from viggo and ryker to drago and grimmel and their respective allies and armies.

basically what i'm trying to get at here is if this series decided to take an alternate route and have the dragons and the humans live in harmony together instead of separating (again), would that have been a chance to "undo" the 3rd movie's "mistakes"? or was it better for the series to go the more "traditional" route and take after the 3rd movie, expressing that even after over 1000 years of humans and dragons living apart, it's simply not safe for the humans and dragons to live together because of the loss of the secrets of the dragons, for the world not knowing about them and in turn not knowing how to take care of them and protect them from the evil of some humans? (of course, i'm putting everything in quotes here because i am attempting to describe everything from a non-objective standpoint, including opinions about the 3rd movie in particular which i am still grappling to come to any conclusions with for myself.)

my views retain a considerable separation between the original franchise and this show, mostly because, in this series in particular, we have. ahem. capitalism. particularly the really nasty late stage "i'm gonna control every aspect of your life" capitalism. as many of us may know, many capitalists will stop at nothing to procure their earnings, even if it means exploiting living beings for their profits and developments. sledkin's whole "arc" was a demonstration of this, her desire for fame and money and profit leading to an eventual disregard for the well-being of the subjects she was studying — and eventually using — to get her fame and her profit. her lack of ethics in her practice shows just how much she was influenced by this system, and in turn caused her to develop a disregard for the well-being of the dragons, the subjects of her study (besides the dragonsite ofc). to me, it kind of demonstrated how these systems make the ethics within scientific research very difficult. like sledkin, if you only care about the money, it's likely that you probably don't care about the safety and well-being of the subjects you're studying. which in a sense, is also a reflection of the villains of the original franchise — they wanted something so badly that they didn't care who they hurt in order to get it.

anyways i didn't mean for this to turn into a whole fucking essay, just a post for me to explore my thoughts about this show now that it's finally ended. and idk to those who bothered to watch this last season what are y'all's thoughts??? lol

15/OCT/23 Honestly if you guys haven’t seen any of the tv shows for HTTYD you’re missing on a lot of character development for the gang. Fishlegs specially gets some great episodes.
