Do you have any headcanons for Furious and Hiccup the Second? I’ve seen your sketches of them and it’s so adorable! Especially the one where Hiccup is carrying a younger Furious! Honestly these two deserve the world and must’ve really trusted each other. Furious listened to his brother’s plan and he even kept the promise of not hurting Grimbeard when he struck Hiccup down.

AUGHH I LOVE THEM SM

I feel like they always slept beside each other, and even when Hiccup took his place as a prince that didn't change. He'd sneak outta the castle to sleep outside w Furious i think. I also like to think based on the evidence we're given that the dragons at the time (since they were only recently enslaved) didn't have any reservations abt Hiccup being basically considered as one of them. Like there wasn't really any prejudice against that at the time (in contrast to hiccup III where dragons constantly questioned why he spoke in dragonese or cared)

God please take Furious’ pain, quadruple it, and give it to Alvin and the Witch 🙏

FOR REALLL!!

I definitely wanna cook up designs for more of the dragons, im stuck on the windwalker rn (my reference page is full of long pitiful shaggy dogs) but im getting there

I also used to read wings of fire when I was like 11 and have been trying to detangle my dragon art from it since

but yeah Furious's whole. Ugh. The part about him becoming Grimbeard the Ghastly himself??? Got my BAWLING over the pages of book 12

Have you drawn the Monster of Amber Slavelands? And are there any dragon or dragon characters you particularly like?

I think I drew it once in a sketchbook years ago?? No time recent enough that I have it on hand 😔 I do wanna draw it again sometime

I'm a huge Furious fan 😭 he takes the top dragon trophy from me any day. But for dragon species im a big fan of like. Hellsteethers and Ravenhunters. Silly dudes

WICKED IS IN ALL THE GOOD FANDOMS??

When the delta literally runes

Do you have any scenes in the HTTYD books you absolutely love?

The obvious answer to me is the swordfight near the end of book 11, but aside from that...

I think for visual appeal (cough cough, want to animate someday) the doom fang stalking the ice in book 4, hiccup lava surfing in book 5... the whole swordfight on a ship being eaten by a dragon in a hurricane thing in 7.

Emotionally I also lean toward A LOT of book 8 and 10. Hiccup the Second speaks to me on a spritual level 😭

Also for bonus, I like the scenes with freaky monster dragons. Like hiccup hiding in a tree from the skullions (TERRIFYING) or the monster of the amber slave lands....

Hope this answered your question ^^

Star Wars really said "Anakin Skywalker had issues rooted in childhood trauma that was not his fault" but also "Anakin made his own choices as an adult for which he alone is responsible" but ALSO "In spite of the truly evil things he chose to do Anakin was still capable of being loved and redeemed" and I think that's important.

these predictions are all really interesting and I wish I could say stuff but all I can say is GOOD LUCK WITH THE LAST TWO BOOKS. Rest your voice there's lots of screaming and crying to go yet

Predictions for the end of the httyd books? (Only about things you haven't been spoiled on ofc, hopefully nothing has been 😭)

Thankfully nothing has been spoiled at me about the ending!

Well the obvious thing that we concluded from literally the first line in this series that dragons no longer exist, also Hiccup is King of the Wilderwest?. Now I'm not sure but I think that means the dragons live far far away in a place nobody can ever reach away from human civilization, the dragons absolutely CANNOT all perish bc I just won't accept that Hiccup would let the wrong people win.

Hiccup obviously set them free from viking's hands, but why? Hiccup believes humans and dragon can live together, so why are they all gone now? I don't understand. Toothless would NEVER leave Hiccup, it happened in the movie but my little stubborn rock head of a dragon Toothless would never, he has no reason to! so I hope he stays alive and Cressida won't pull off some sacrificing bs.

Hiccup will go through shit but somehow he'll manage to somehow heal Furious's broken heart like he always does and the dragon's will be on his side (it sounds too nice to actually happen but we'll see)

Also I have a terrible feeling Alvin will be crowned king of the Wilderwest, I don't know how he'll get a hold of Toothless, I don't know how would Hiccup deal with that disaster, but I've seen that man escape the grip of death 5 times already (correct me if I'm wrong cuz I feel I missed one or two) and had managed to built an entire political party with a brutal army with the help of a half blind mother witch that cannot even walk properly, plus getting hold of 9 of the king's Things all while missing an arm, a leg, a nose, an eye and his hair. At this point I'm not too sure we're getting rid of him at the end, it's too good to be true.

And do you think Fishlegs would use his royal blood as an advantage? That would be very cool (regardless that his father is a commoner)

And last but not least, I've never believed Toothless is a Common-or-Garden, sure he looks like one that may be underdeveloped but come on it's been years and he still hadn't grown in size nor grew teeth (I think he had a fang or smt in the first book and it fell during the hunting competition?) not forgetting the dart on his nose, call him a Toothless daydream or whatever, but Toothless is too special to be ordinary, just like his master whom everyone thought was a weaker viking that never fit in but became the last great hero the Wilderwest has ever seen.

And.. that's it! Now the hard part is waiting and watching...

Dear oh dear is it gonna be hard.

Some mostly in the right order doodling from book 8

[reluctantlyanimating]

Hiccups hatred for the somewhat lacking dragon training manual will always bring me joy. He’s such a hater of specifically that book. I swear he hated that book more than he hates Alvin.
