The Snowfury

Im writing a bsd Httyd au, because I have an inescapable obsession with both series.

To summarize without many spoilers (incase I ever do finish any fic in the series instead of just planning to write them), ADA are dragon riders, they love dragons, dragons love them, basically the main riders from Httyd in RTTE. Their island is just covered in rescued dragons. PM are dragon hunters who, under Moris guidance, have learned to ‘tame’ dragons through fear and abuse. Chuuya is not in the PM, he’s off being awesome and thinking everybody he loved is dead you know how it is. Atsushi (since Chuuya is not the main charcter even if I love him in this au) is a guy, who, through a series of unfortunate events, ends up with the ADA. His dragon, his bestest friend (Named Byakko, after his ability), is a lightfury (and Akutagawa had a Nightfury names Rashomon of course)

The problem with this is that I have a bit of a problem with the Lightfury. Her concept was cool, and some fanart of her is so nice! But her canon animation was just, eh, and overall I feel like her design could have been better. Some parts just don’t make sense, and really I think they could have done the ´sleek, feminine Fury species that is similar but very different than the nightfury’ idea without having her look,,,, squished. And oddly fem for a DRAGON. I always thought she felt out of place in the world of HTTYD.

So, in my efforts to slightly change her design so I could have a lightfury in my au without using the full canon design, I got carried away and now here we are, I made an entire species, for some reason.

Allow me to explain.

Lore/General Info

The ‘Lightfury’, actually known as the ‘SnowFury’ by the groups that live around them. Though even they don’t see them much. ´Lightfury’ is a term used by cultures who do not naturally have these dragons, as they mistook them for ´daytime NightFurys’ instead of arctic dragons. The dragon eye lists them as SnowFurys, but as artwork of them was limited due to their stealth, few have made the connection between the ‘two species’.

Snowfury’s share a common ancestor with the Nightfury, but evolved in an entirely different environment. While NightFurys are known to prefer forested habitats, preferable near lakes, beaches, rivers, etc, Snowfurys are found only in the snowy wastelands far to the north and far to the south. Though they are now nearly extinct in the south, that is where they were originally named aswell, and no humans are known to inhabit the north.

Just like NightFurys, they are few and far between. In the south, hunted to near extinction (perhaps they truly are gone?) and no one knows if they live in the north. Perhaps they fled there, perhaps they all died in the journey across the ocean, perhaps they have existed there forever and we will never know. Perhaps we are wrong entirely, and they have simply become even better at hiding? Some have heard they can turn invisible, not just blend in, but truly invisible

This will be explained further in the design details, but Snowfurys are larger and bulkier than NightFurys, and though still one of the fastest dragons, they fall just slightly short of the Nightfury. They have a layer of not-quite-blubber, it keeps them warmer but isn’t quite as squishy or heavy, as they still need to be sleek to fly at such high speeds. They can swim in freezing water and walk through blizzards barely noticing the cold.

Their shiny white scales make them nearly impossible to make out within the snow and ice, during a blizzard they are even more deadly. They are known to dig burrows in snow, both as nests/dens and for hunting/stealth purposes.

Changes I made and why/ cool design element of the species

No blue/pink undertones, their stark white but slightly sparkly coulouring is an amazing camoflauge, they are deadly in the snow. Though I couldn’t portray it well (can you tell ive never edited something before and am not at all an artist?), similar to the NightFurys faint stripes, they have a faint rosette pattern, almost like a snow leopard.

Not sure how visible it is, but head is less squished. Proper muzzle for fishing! And carrying babies! All those good things!

Their tail fins do not split at the end, they are known to use it almost like a shovel at times

Their claws are longer thicker and sharper than a NightFurys, they use them to grip onto ice and climb mountains with minimal effort.

Their eyes range from various blues, light teals and pale purples, nothing too vibrant though, they have very pale eyes (while nightfurys have more vibrant eyes, in bright greens and yellows and organes, even red perhaps)

Again, they are bulkier and stronger. Sacrificing a tiny bit of speed for higher strength. Still the second fastest dragon though, just slightly behind NughtFury. This extra bulk not only keeps them warmer but allows them to power through blizzards and scale icy mountains without blinking, they can swim in freezing water without getting cold and walk through deep snow. I made the Snowfurys legs a bit propertionally thicker, aswell as their neck.

Still less ear nubs, but i added a third set. They are shorter but wider than Nightfurys, it’s cold!

Back fin is rufflier and there is a smaller one on head, I mostly just liked the look. The fins on legs and back/head/tail help with aerodynamics, and swimming. They are surprisingly durable, as they need to hold up against freezing temperatures and crazy wind.

More scale definition, though not as muh as a NightFury. They have thick protective scales, but retain a smoother look, not only are they better swimmers than NightFurys but it makes them even harder to spot against the smooth shiny snow.

I made the other two tail fins larger to match the main one

Other little bits

Female Snowfurys are larger than males, and male Snowfurys are about the same as Female Nightfurys if a bit larger and male night fury’s are smaller than female nightfury’s

They have all the same ability’s as Lightfurys, retractable teeth, plasma blast, invisibility, you get it.

You could just say the Lightfruys don’t exist in this au, and Snowfurys are an unique species, but they are still called Lightfurys in most places (Americas, Yokohama seas, United Kingdom’s, etc. Only the southern frozen islands (where Fyodor and Nikolai are from in this au btw) call them Snowfurys, but they found them first so it’s the ‘true name’. It is also what’s in the dragon eye.

Do canon Lightfurys exist? Maybe, how am I supposed to know?

They swim very well as I think I mentioned, better than Nightfurys but not quite like a true tidal class dragon. They eat a lot of fish like Nightfurys, though they will eat basically anything, this would have one day perhaps included humans, but any living ones are sure to avoid humans now

They’re basically cold proof, on land and in water. They can do it but aren’t usually fans of extreme heat, since they have a natural layer of fat (not quite blubber but close) meant to keep them warm. They get hot quick and retain that heat well, they have never been seen in a warm place, though who knows if they go there or not. You rarely see them anyways,

They basically have the same reputation as Nightfurys, but since they don’t live most places even more mysterious. Nobody really knows anything about either species, even the Dragon Eye has rather vague drawings, though it’s still more info than anywhere else. It’s believed that more detailed records exists, but either nobody has found those lenses or the information wasn’t put on a lense

I’ll probably make a more detailed ref sheet with wings (same as canon LF,smoother than Nightfurys and a bit shorter and broader) and eye colours and stuff someday

Pack orientated species, just like Nightfurys. Though adults almost always hunt alone for stealthyness, they always live in groups, it’s important. They are social!

No I will not tell you what is in the north, that is a SECRET! Yes it is awesome and plot relevant and angsty but fluffy at the same time and I will make my readers cry when I write it!

I Hope this was at least somewhat coherent, I’m tired but brain won’t sleep until it gets to share its thoughts.

Will i ever actually write this? Yes probably but like, I’m currently on my avian au, Ranpo bad things happen bingo (I’m on prompt 15/25 now, whoo!) and that unfinished SKK au I’m writing (it’s like, 10k and I’m not even at the main plot what am I doing?? It’s based on a one of my favorite movies ever and includes wolves and feral woods child Chuuya btw). Someday, I will write Httyd au, eventually.

Any ideas for rider dragons are lovely,,,, you know incase you want to. I have most but there’s a few that I’m just, aaaaaah

Goodnight

Shepherds Find This Easier, Apparently

“I’m impressed, Lord Karstark,” Ned said. “Karhold is built well.”

“It’s not much of an achievement, to be honest,” Rickard Karstark replied, with a shrug, as he looked up at his ancestral home. “Built more for durability than comfort, I think.”

“Nevertheless,” Ned told him. “It’s been damn near nine years that summer has held, now, and I won’t bother repeating my Words. It shows restraint that you kept everything so that a storm wouldn’t destroy it… some down south wouldn’t see so far.”

Rickard chuckled.

“I’m no southerner,” he replied. “And it’s going to take a day or two to get all the broken branches off, anyway.”

Ned nodded.

He didn’t consider it a failing on the part of the man. Sure enough, the storm that had blown down out of the northeast had been unusually powerful for a Northern summer, and it had stripped branches from trees – trees which had, of course, grown to the height and size they were since the last winter.

“It’ll be another day or two that you’ll be enjoying our hospitality, I think, my lord,” Rickard added. “I have fifty men out to clear the road, but it takes time. I know it’s a shame – your journey back to Winterfell will be marred by more signs of the storm than this, I think. And I know you have young sons and daughters to get back to.”

“Some aren’t so young as that,” Ned mused. “Still, it’ll do Robb good to be the Stark in Winterfell for a time – give him experience – though I will send a raven from your tower if you have one.”

“Probably,” Rickard muttered. “I’ll have to check with the Maester.”

“Excuse me?” a young voice asked, and both lords – and some of their armsmen – turned to see who had spoken.

It was a lad of… about the same age as Robb, maybe a year or two older, if Ned was any judge. He had a deep brown hair with a tint of red to it, and was wearing a green jerkin and trousers with a furred vest and boots for warmth.

He also looked a bit damp and windswept.

“Hi, uhm, important people wearing armour, and… so on,” the lad said, his voice a little querulous in a way that was halfway between a voice about to break and an elderly maester about to forget what he was talking about. “Where are we, exactly?”

Rickard and Ned exchanged a look.

“...this is Karhold,” Rickard said, eventually.

“Great,” the lad declared. “Now I know exactly where I am, I just don’t know where that is… I was looking for something that was a bit more… general?”

He waved his hand vaguely, taking in the general mess of fallen branches and damp mud around them. “We got blown off course during the storm, and I’m sort of hoping to have an idea… where… we are?”

“Blown off course,” Ned muttered.

He could see that happening, right enough. Someone out in that storm in a ship would have had to run before the wind on bare poles for hundreds of miles.

“Yep, that’s right,” the lad agreed. “Turns out, storms do that! Who knew…”

He chuckled, nervously.

“How far did you go, if you don’t know where Karhold is?” Ned asked. “You do know this is the North, correct?”

“Yeah, I know that much,” the lad said, nodding. “The pine trees make it obvious, and so does the temperature… even in summer you need some way to stay warm, even if it’s not nearly as bad as it is at home. But I was hoping for something more specific than just that we’re not… south?”

“This has got to be some kind of jape,” Rickard muttered. “My lord, how can someone consider Karhold to be unknown but The North to be too generic?”

“I’m wondering that myself,” Ned said. “Where are you from, lad?”

“It’s a small island village to the northeast of here,” the lad replied. “North of Ibben. It’s… four days north of hopeless, and a few degrees south of freezing to death… I’d tell you more specifics but I’m not sure what would really help.”

North of Ibben? Ned hadn’t known there was anything north of Ibben.

“What kind of-” Rickard began, then stopped. “Ned!”

The urgency in his voice bade Ned pay attention, and he glanced at Rickard before following his gaze – and his jaw dropped.

Because something fucking enormous was rising over the nearby hill.

“Huh?” the lad said, turned, then began waving his hands back and forth. “No! No no no! I’m fine, this is just a conversation, you don’t need to-”

His next word was cut out as a hundred-and-fifty-foot black dragon crashed down to a landing on the slope, not twenty yards away, and the lad practically plastered himself over the thing’s nose.

“I’m fine, bud!” he said, his voice soothing and urgent. “I’m fine, everything’s fine here, I was going to get an idea of where we are…”

“That’s a dragon,” Ned breathed. “I thought they were all gone…”

He refocused, noticing the very visible harness on the dragon’s back. This was no wild animal, even before considering how the lad was reacting.

And Ned couldn’t help thinking about Jon.

“And – you don’t look like a Targareyn,” he added, as the giant dragon apparently calmed down.

“A who?” the lad replied.

“...Targareyn?” Ned repeated. “The dragon lords? The last noble house of Old Valyria?”

“Never heard of them,” the lad said. “I… think there’s been some kind of misunderstanding?”

He patted the head of his now-quiescent dragon, which visibly rolled its eyes and snorted.

“How can you have a dragon and not have heard of Valyria?” Ned asked. “I don’t see how that’s possible. Dragons went away nigh on a hundred and fifty years ago, and – and Valyria was the only place that had dragons.”

“We’ve just always had them?” the lad replied, with a shrug. “There’s plenty of them living around Berk. It’s not like it’s hard, you just… make friends with them. Right, Toothless?”

The dragon – with the distinctly inglorious name of Toothless!? - made a kind of gronk noise, and thwapped the lad with the end of its tail.

“Thanks for nothing, you useless reptile,” the lad said. “So how is it that everyone thinks these Valyrians are the only ones who can have dragons, anyway?”

“First, lad, I’ll have your name,” Rickard asked. “I’ll believe you were blown off course, but this is my land and you’re… I don’t know what. A guest, maybe?”

“Hiccup,” the lad introduced himself. “Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. I know, dreadful name, blame my dad.”

He smiled, nervously. “So, uh… do you have some kind of map I can look at?”

Toothless grrronked.

“We can look at,” Hiccup amended. “I know, I know, you do most of the work anyway…”

Ned felt rather like a stiff drink, at this point.

Maybe two.

Ren... doesn't talk about his past. At all

(This is me smushing my two favourite fandoms together and running for the hills)

Nobody on Hermitcraft really knows where Ren comes from except for the fact that if you get him started on dragons, you will never here the end of it.

Ren refuses to tell people about his past for a number of reasons. One, he would have to explain how he became a werewolf so young (at his father's negligence). And two, he'd have to talk about his metal leg, which he doesn't like doing, explaining his he lost it that is. It still haunts him to this day. He'd probably also have to explain about the dragons and the war against dragons and how he befriended one and got kicked out of the village and came back to end the war only to nearly be killed and how much trauma he has from dragon hunters and all the hostile dragon species and how he should be dead.

If you haven't gotten it yet, I've combined Hiccup and Ren, then slapped the Race To The Edge timeline onto him, minus the other riders so it was a lot darker.

Ren doesn't know how he's immortal, he just is. At least he still has Toothless, who's still as sassy as ever.

Also, Ren definitely has a type. (Casually side eyes the art WIP I'm not going to ever finish).

[kismetmoon]

been having fun with looser drawings and making up concepts for how they would use prehensile tails

[ID: three digital drawings of two original, stylised Flatland characters named Atlas and Stella on a grey background.

Atlas is a light grey isosceles triangle with dark grey limbs, a tail with a V-shaped tip, a black eyebrow, one eye with a grey star-shaped pupil, scars on his side and across his eye, and chips in his top and bottom right corner.

Stella is a small humanoid creature who has an eye for a head with four top eyelashes and a blunt point on top, black limbs, a black tail with a fluffy tip and grey skin.

In the leftmost drawing, Atlas is standing and looking to the left with a neutral expression. He is holding Stella using his tail and she is smiling at him and laughing.

In the top drawing, Atlas and Stella are dangling upside-down by their tails from a horizontal pole. Atlas is asleep and Stella is looking at him while her limbs hang down. There is writing by Atlas that says “other limbs tucked in” and by Stella that says “not sure how to do it yet” with an arrow pointing to her.

In the rightmost drawing, Stella is wearing a nightgown and posed as though creeping sneakily. She is shown from the side, facing forward, and smiling mischievously while looking behind. There is writing above her that says “creature…”.

I don't like the Disney LA's. Don't really need to go into it, everything has been said. But here's the thing I don't get. Why the fuck isn't Disney at least redoing their "worst" movies, I don't even mean for 100% accuracies sake either, but like Pocahontas. Either do a proper retelling, probably too dark, or do a revamp, give some Native American indigenous people the chance to make their own fantasy retelling of their own folk lore or a fusion between reality and fantasy. Like, sure some people love the movie. Right. But this is a case where the LA would give the people a chance to fucking break free of the colonialist and whitewashing of history, and the plight of the indigenous.

Or even redo the Frog Princess movie, because even though it had some good points, a lot of people had issues with how certain parts where handled, and how the story played out.

Nope, let's do movies where people preferred the original, and where it shows how little of a shit you give about actual diversity and giving people roles that are wholly their own. Where you're doing a less exciting and much more boring version of the original. (I know HTTYD isn't Disney, but that's also an example, why the fuck make a shot for shot remake with boring ass real life humans, when the original was good enough already? Just so people can abuse the poor actors? Thanks you fucksticks.)

(I'm not gonna go deeper into that either, because there was a submission last year that specifically pointed out that just because you reskin a European fairy tale, doesn't make it not European, or smth. And that there's nothing stopping Disney from actually adapting an actual cultural fairy tale from outside Europe, especially since there are culture specific variations of different fairy tales in other places, I think one example given was Cinderella, which also has a Vietnamese version and so on.)

Money.

The reason they do or don't do these things is money.
