i hope luigi mangione is proven innocent & gets to sue a ton of companies for slander and win & i hope he gets enough money to rebuild his life and get any help for his chronic pain that he needs & i hope he’s able to disappear from the public eye entirely if that’s what he wants

I think this idea of an animal struggling to survive in its native environment, moving somewhere else and really thriving, is an idea that goes beyond just biology.

Like...... sometimes... it's not you. It's what's around you. The familiar but toxic workplace, the family that never truly seen you, the town you grew up in that has no jobs that suit you. And sometimes,...to truly thrive you really just need to leave.

well hello there, you have an awesome blog! i was just wondering, in the beginning of httyd, hiccup says that the night fury never shows itself and never steals food. what do you think was bringing toothless to berk all these times if he wasn't stealing food for the red death?

Well hello there too! Thanks for the question and thank you so much! That’s really nice. :)

There’s a decent chance more than just one Night Fury lived on Berk beyond Toothless. Night Furies can be native to the location, and Toothless just grew up on Berk his entire life, so that’d be why he’s there. That’s likely how many of the other dragons came to Berk, too, regardless of their connection or lack thereof with the Red Death. For not every dragon on Berk even in HTTYD 1 was connected to the Red Death’s control. Not a single Terrible Terror is seen in the dragon raids or on Dragon Island… they’re pesky, independent, fish-stealing Berk natives. The Night Furies could be such, too. 

There just is not much known about the Night Fury species because they are elusive creatures that avoid human habitation and “have never been seen” by a surviving Viking. As you yourself bring up the quote from Hiccup’s opening voiceover, they “never show themselves.” So the Berk Vikings might not know how many of them ever were on the island, when they started declining in population, and when and why Toothless became the only one on the island. 

There very much could have been more than one Night Fury on the island even fairly recently… maybe even during the times of HTTYD 1. 

Stoick: What have we got?Viking #1: Gronckles, Nadders, Zipplebacks. Oh, and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare.Stoick: Any Night Furies?Viking #1: None so far.

Did you notice the plural in how they talked about the dragon? They might not have seen with their own eyes an actual Night Fury, but shots from multiple dragons could have indicated that more than one Night Fury has existed on Berk. The way they speak suggests they believe there is more than one of that species on the island. Otherwise Stoick would have said, “What about the Night Fury?”, not “Any Night Furies?”

One could argue Toothless is an anomaly and a solo visitor to Berk because of the placement of the Night Furies in the Dragon Manual. The Night Fury is the last dragon mentioned in the manual. This means the Night Fury page is the most recent addition to the book, and consequently the most recently discovered dragon. This COULD mean that Toothless came to Berk and was discovered very recently by the Hooligan tribe, but I feel like that entry’s placement still does not entail Toothless migrated to Berk.

Gobber says no one has seen a Night Fury and lived to tell the tale. This implies some Vikings have encountered the Night Fury and died from it. Likely, this would have to be years ago before Hiccup would remember too many incidences, suggesting that a Night Fury older than Toothless killed these Berk Vikings. Toothless also is not much of a killer in HTTYD 1 from what we can tell, and I cannot imagine that a really young dragon would have been responsible for the demise of those Vikings who didn’t “live to tell the tale.”

We can explain the Night Fury’s late position in the Dragon Manual because of the species’ elusiveness. It’s hard to discover. It’s not one of the dragons raiding for the Red Death, it seems, being as no Night Fury has seen taking food.

So I believe the simple reason Toothless keeps popping up on Berk is because it’s his native home where he grew up.

But the fact he doesn’t take food or directly participate in the raids brings up the question: why is Toothless with the other dragons?

I think that it is based on the fact that Toothless, when the Night Furies were leaving, is drawn toward being with the other dragons for company. Dragons seem to have no problems mingling with the other species but prefer their own as company the most. Toothless is not completely immune from the Red Death, either… his eyes do narrow and he does fly back with the other dragons to the nest when they are called by her. So Toothless ends up being grouped - sort of - with the Gronckles and Monstrous Nightmares and Hideous Zipplebacks and Deadly Nadders. He might not steal food, but he still actively aids in the others taking it by shooting Hooligan siege towers… he’s participating marginally with the other dragons for combinations of the two reasons above, methinks. And that’s why I believe he pops up on Berk with the other dragons in the raid.

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

apparently I’m playing skyrim again… and by “playing skyrim” I obviously mean “spending hours installing mods before I ever open the game”

But consider: Snotlout has no idea how to match clothes, and is arrogant enough to think an outfit like this looks cool, because he doesn’t know any better

Obsessed with live action Snotlout's belt. Need to draw animated snot in live action Snot's clothes.

The skull 😩 deadass need that belt for myself.

i think abt the part in the golden compass where it was noted that if your daemon chose to assume the form of a fish or some kind of ocean dwelling creature you could never leave the water again. at best you could dock, maybe walk a bit away from the shore, but that's it. chained to the water because your physical soul form commands it.
