#HTTYD Valka

[lex-crow]

Headcanon (kinda)

Hiccup being allergic to dragon root. Not like it’s going to kill him but it’ll make him terribly ill.

This doesn’t help the roomers that he’s not human. The twins started it and hiccup being himself doesn’t help and doesn’t know.

Also when his mom returnes she also has the same reaction to dragon root

And people just go. “Ah yeah stoic and his half feral, vigilante, fae wife and their son who definitely took after mom.”

Does this make any sense?

[ooakiito]

I was talking to my friend and there absolutely has to be a fic where hiccup died after the final battle of the first movie. Which causes Stoick to make peace with the dragons in HONOR of Hiccup and he becomes sort of a protector for them. Which leads into the second movie and ofc him and Valka wind up meeting again. HOWEVER because Stoick is still extremely hurt from Hiccups death AND Valka is processing the information that her baby is dead, they are not happy with eachother at all. Like massive fighting because they both have misplaced blame due to grief.

"You were supposed to protect him! Why didn't you listen to him?!"

"If you came back and told us the truth about dragons, this never would have happened!"

Those sorts of fights and the like. So the fic would be an extremely slow burn with a focus on overcoming the grief of a lost child and the reparation of their relationship. Ofc the main villain is still there and is trying to take away the dragons, but toothless would be what stoick focuses on bc toothless is all he has left of his son. So throughout the fic, they have to overcome this misplaced anger towards each other to protect what's important and realize that no one was at fault for what happened. That has to be a fic already, right?

Ft. My next generation

Why does the guy in the second photo look like my uncle?

[yenich]

she was really weird and quirky in comparison to other Berk vikings

she couldn't even kill a dragon, always finding those rather interesting to watch than fearing them

yes, she was very strange...

but somehow he loved her with all of his heart, especially for those strange parts of her soul...

What if Hiccup grew an inch taller than his mom? Just a what if AU

*Bonks Affectionaly*

I wouldn't want to see him grow up so fast either

sorry it got me this long I am busy with college these days :')

[hemlock-ghost]

Valka's expressions in the httyd 2 storyboards are sooo amazing just look at herrrr she's so happy to share everything she knows with Hiccup and it's absolutely beautiful

I am such a sucker for these moments like she's so excited that she has something in common with her son and gets to share that with him despite all those years apart

[ana-the-light-fury]

Does anyone else feel so immensely sorry for Hiccup when rewatching the scene in the second movie where Stoick and Valka are dancing??

Like the poor child never got to enjoy his parents being parents, never snuck down at night and caught his father and mother in the middle of a sweet moment, never heard them laugh together and then smile lovingly in each other's arms, never had the chance to climb in bed with Mom and Dad after a nightmare, never went to just enjoy a nice fire on a cold day, sitting between them.

And Hiccup, in this scene, is smiling so joyfully because he's happy for both of them. And he's happy that his family is whole again. Happy to see his dad so happy. Happy to feel like he has a mother and a father, happy to share such a special moment he's never been a part of before.

Like, can I just...sob? Am I allowed to sob sad tears at a scene that's supposed to be happy?

Is it just me?

Something I would like to point out while rewatching HTTYD2 that I think is very interesting and also not at all talked about is this.

HTTYD2 brings lots and I mean LOTS of parallels whether they are visual or spoken but the one I hear spoken about the most is between Hiccup and Valka and them not killing a dragon. Even the movie tries to make this seem like a parallel. They bring it up even!

“Ehh it runs in the family.” Hiccup says after the flashback scene.

But something I noticed is that it is not a parallel. Mainly because of a few key things. It’s more almost perpendicular. They head in the same direction and they have the same realization, then go in complete opposite directions.

Valka runs away. A key part of her character I’ve noticed while I’ve been writing my analysis of her is that she oozes of cowardice and willful ignorance. Now that doesn’t mean she’s a bad person, it simply means that she ran away and chose to stay away. But that’s not the main reason I brought this up.

Remember the flashback where they draw attention to how similar Hiccup and Valka are? They talk about it in a very specific way.

They bring attention to two points. Both of them looked into a dragons eye and saw themself. Then they both didn’t kill a dragon. They show this as some kind of parallel. Maybe to show that Hiccup has someone who understands him, maybe to add a bit of layering to the first movie and how he’s just like her.

But it’s not a parallel.

What’s the difference in this scene?

One dragon is tied up.

One isn’t.

It’s a matter of choice.

“You and your father nearly died that night. All because I couldn’t kill a dragon.” Quote Valka.

“300 years and I’m the first Viking who wouldn’t kill a dragon.” Quote Hiccup.

Hiccups statement STILL rings true. Valka had no choice in if she wanted to kill Cloudjumper or not. That’s why I brought up Valka’s cowardice. Valka was in a trapped house with an injured newborn and an unbound dragon 5x her size. She was in the middle of a raid with people all around. Stoick was around the corner. She simply couldn’t kill the dragon. It wasn’t a matter of would or wouldn’t.

Hiccup on the other hand was alone in a forest with a tied up dragon. He made the decision to not kill Toothless. He wouldn’t. Because he absolutely could have killed Toothless.

“I was a coward. I was weak. I wouldn’t kill a dragon.”

“You said wouldn’t that time.”

This scene (in my own opinion) is meant to show that Hiccup was never the hiccup. He was never a coward. He wasn’t weak. It’s meant to be ironic.

Hiccup let go one of the most dangerous dragons in the world and it was brave. He went against his culture, his tribe because he thought it was the right thing to do.

That’s where Valka and Hiccups story become perpendicular. Hiccup was brave. Valka was a coward.

Hiccup chose not to run away. He chose to change their minds. He thought their minds could change.

Valka ran away. She didn’t listen and didn’t think change was possible. She held this belief until Hiccup comes along.

Valka’s path is where she believes that dragons are more than they seem. Then, “This wasn’t a viscous beast, but an intelligent gentle creature whose soul, reflected my own.” She has the revelation. Then she runs away and stays away. Now she had her own reasons and I am very much phrasing this in a biased way but it’s meant to show a point. She stays away and doesn’t change much. Because she couldn’t kill a dragon.

Hiccups path is where he does not see much to dragons. He wants to kill one to be accepted into the village. He shoots down Toothless and- “Everything we know about you guys, is wrong.” Or- “I looked at him and saw myself.” Hiccup and Valka’s paths cross here. But Hiccup doesn’t run away and he changes Berk’s mind. Because he wouldn’t kill a dragon.

Anyways I think that’s about it for that topic and I think it should be discussed more! Because if you really think about it, there are almost no parallels in Valka and Hiccup. And if there are, it isn’t well executed enough that it leaves a strong impact. I definitely will talk about this more but it’s late and I crave sleep.

Thinking about Gobber and how he heard Hiccup say “I just want to be one of you guys” and then immediately went out and did something to give him the chance to try and be like them by convincing Stoick to put him in dragon training. The way Gobber looks out and cares for Hiccup is something so special to me.

Hiccup family stickers ❤️😭

[co1dteeth]

Cloudjumper painting I did awhile back, I should draw httyd more often.

[thereweredragonshere]

I am currently having a grand feast on your art

I have also acquired an obsession with Stoick and Valka, I will love you forever if you draw that scene in HTTYD 2 with the movie turning into a musical (The Dancing and the Dreaming scene where they do a little dancy dance 🤭)

Still feasting on your art 🍽

Very delicious

And they both lived happily ever after and no one died and Hiccup has both of his parents
