Side note: I find it really amusing when people are shocked at me raw feeding my dog. One friend I invited over for lunch is also a dog person and loves her dog with all her heart. He ( ‘George’ ) is a pug who gets along great with my dog ( ‘Courage’, who’s a husky/aussie mix) though because George is a brachycephalic dog they can’t play for long. My friend is VERY meticulous about his diet. He eats only science diet brand dog food, never gets “people food” and gets his food sprayed with an array of supplements. All meals are measured exactly, etc. The look on her face is priceless when while she’s preparing George’s food I’m just like “Ok, lets see what we have in the fridge...bone in chicken breast, ok let me toss that in the bowl...chicken liver, a couple of those....oh, some crappie* I caught, let me put one of those in there...that spinach will go bad soon, in it goes...a tomato....eh, why not” And that’s my dog’s meal. She looks at me like I’m insane! lol. She’s even asked me how my dog isn’t dead, to which I counter with ‘what did dogs eat before kibble?’ It’s one of those things we joke about, but watching someones face when they see my sweet puppy crunching through bone like cereal is priceless. 

*Crappie is a kind of fish that’s pretty common in the midwest

** Cooked bones should never be fed to dogs as they can splinter and cause internal damage. However, raw bones are softer and generally safe. In raw fed dogs (and other carnivorous animals) the high ph of their stomach acid means they are quickly dissolves and the bones provide good nutrition. The chomping of the bones also cleans their teeth. 

*** Though his diet is mostly raw, I believe variety is the spice of life, and so as long as the food isn’t toxic to dogs, Courage usually gets a bit of whatever I’m having. Which can be anything between some spaghetti to half a sandwich. He’s got a cast iron stomach, and in the entire two years he’s been alive he’s only ever barfed once, because the genius decided to drink gross stagnant water before I could get to him.

THE DRAGONS AS DOGS

Title says it all. 

Meatlug - Pitbull.

Tenacious, enormous jaw strength, yet surprisingly gentle, affectionate and loyal. 

Toothless - Saluki

Considered one of (if not the THE) most ancient breeds, it was so prized that is was bred with an aloof personality which let it bond with its owners and ignore others so that it would be harder to steal. A sight hound, it was fast and accurate when taking down its prey. 

Stormfly - Weimaraner 

Incredibly focused, and prone to neurosis if left without a task to do. They are fiercely loyal to their owners and live to work. 

Hookfang - Harrier 

Regarded as extremely hard headed and hard to train, these dogs are avid hunters and have a drive that has made them famous

Barf/Belch - Great Dane

Incredibly intimidating, strong, and will definitely get people talking. However, once you get to know them, you get to see how dopey, sweet, and enchanting they are.

John Silver is Gobber’s descendant and you can’t change my mind

[racetothedslides]

Was planning to do some comedic fanfics after I finish up Aftershocks but...

Due to a recent kitchen accident, maybe a burn related whump is in order. Pic under cut

Yeah, when you dump a bunch of mushrooms into a pan of hot oil, make sure there isn’t a layer of ice on the bottom of your shrooms. Yay for 2nd degree burns.

The Kids houses I designed for Dragons 3 for new Berk. I tried to mirror their personality and/or their dragons. You can barely see them in the movie..

Post HTTYD 3 Career Head Canons

Hiccup - Chief, obviously. He doesn’t know what it happens but the younger generation starts viewing him as infallible as he had once viewed his father. Sometimes the kids call him “Chief Toothless” leading him to most knowing him as Hiccup the Toothless. Zephyr follows him around, full of her mother’s steadfast determination, knowing she’s next in line to be chief and wanting to do a good job. 

Astrid - General. Her kids and Hiccup hate it whenever she has to leave on campaign, though she and Hiccup always try to treat it as no big deal, assuring their children she’d be back safe and before they knew it. Nuffink loves following his mother around and watching her train, though he wants to be an adventurer, not a soldier. 

Snotlout - Armor / Clothes maker. He ends up utilizing the impressive sewing skills he learned from his mother. He’s the best in the biz and he won’t let anyone forget it (and also made Hicstrid’s wedding clothing). Because he is always importing materials for his job, he ends up falling in love with a beautiful merchant and marrying her. Together they have a daughter, the youngest of the bunch. 

Fishlegs - Teacher. He uses his vast knowledge to educate children as well as adults, and he also doubles as the official Berk historian. He pioneered the use of flash cards to help people learn. He and Ruffnut never actually ended up together, as she’d been mostly joking when she chose him at the Hicstrid wedding. He did end up marrying a widow and becoming a father to her two sons. 

Tuffnut - Author. He uses his impressive grasp of language to spin the gang’s adventures into children’s stories, becoming insanely popular. He can almost always be found in the great hall, surrounded by a flock of chickens, and a horde of children hanging on his every word. He never marries, or has children of his own, but he loves spending as much time with Berk’s kids as he can. He becomes affectionately known as “Father Chicken”. 

Ruffnut - Gothi’s replacement. At one point in my au Ruffnut loses the ability to speak. Though she completely rejects the idea of using a staff like Gothi, instead using a sign language she slowly develops. However, she does use her experience to start learning healing. She becomes a healing force to be reckoned with, often not exactly gentle with her patients, and kids who claim to be too sick for school usually make a miraculous recovery when their parents suggest they pay her a visit. Losing her voice doesn’t make her any less ornery. She, like her brother, never marries.
