I spy drawings with dragons!! tell me what is temeraire?
OKAY
so this is a book series set during the early 1800s -- the napoleonic wars -- except they also have dragons and the series is named after temeraire the dragon who hatches in book one and ends up being captained by a guy in the navy called captain william laurence .
actually i read the first book a year, maybe 2 or 3 years, back and then i decided to reread it recently because i remembered enjoying it for one specific passage --
Tumblr media
-- which yeah reading it was just as consumption inducing as the first time around . like one of my favourite things about this series is that the dragons and their captains would do everything for each other (in pretty much every case anyway , cough) because it means you get what temeraire and laurence have going on (laurence reads temeraire books at bedtime and calls him my dear and gives up his captaincy for a life as an aviator and temeraire is perfectly willing to commit treason together) but , you also have dragons like -- spoilers, btw , hopefully u dont mind --
lien who is my favourite dragon probably who decides to destroy everything temeraire holds dear ever because HER person is dead cus of temeraire . i support womens wrongs .
the other thing i really really enjoy about it is the worldbuilding like the worldbuilding game is insane . im obsessed. interactions with and views of dragons vary wildly from region to region and the thought put into the battle formations, the DRAGON'S mindsets, generally how different nations treat their dragosn like its so impressive and i love it !! i live for it !!! and also as a side note i think the only other book series ive read where dragons are so integrated into society is the httyd series . i think its decently rare to find books like these where dragons are just sitting around and Nothing else in the world is different lol. anyway yeah this is all to say i love love love the series i cant wait to get my hands on the next few books and also the female aviators i forgot to mention them .. jane roland ........... shes so cool

💢- Which character do you not relate to the most?
💥- A big a opinion you have related to the Tangled movie/series?
We all know Cass is my gurl from now until forever! But I also love her smokin hot dad where she definitely got her looks from,Hector and her aunt Adira.😌
Nigel. He can go die in a hole for all I care.
Moonstone 1000%!!!! I have built SO MUCH lore around that opal.
Season 2. Gave us all a lot to work with when it comes to lore and it Twas sad that it Twas not touched on enough in the next season.
Probably HTTYD and the book series the Wingfeather saga. They are both heavily based on dragons so I’d put a WHOLE ASS BUNCH of Saponin lore in there.
I can’t pick one animal 😭😭😭. My number ones would have to be pascal,owl,little big guy,and Hector’s pets who I have named Raynan (rhino),Kinzey & Thanatos (bear cats)
Any next gen aus and anything involving the brotherhood!
Cassandra’s adventure suit and her armor in season two. And raps and Eugene’s outfits in season three. I also like the redesign outfits I’ve made for Cass and Andrew for my next gen au.
Probably Rapunzel’s coronation gown. It just doesn’t feel like her with the big poofy skirt. And Eugene’s outfit for rap’s coronation
I have WAAAAAAAYY too many 😭😭😭. Here are some of them: Hector has ADHD,Cass is near sighted and also has ADHD but she’s medicated (idk if they had that but let’s just say they do),varian and Edmund are both autistic,Stan and Cass are cousins (the cap being Stan’s uncle),Quirin is the oldest of the brotherhood,Edmund is the second oldest after him is Adira and Hector is the youngest. Hector is a Capricorn and is born on Christmas eve (is there a specific reason y I headcanon that? No) Hector and Eugene’s mom are half siblings,Cap had a wife when he adopted Cass but they got divorced,and then Cass’s “mom” died when Cass was 16. Willow has ADHD,and her and the Cap used to be a thing. I also headcanon that the Cap’s name is Caleb. Adira and Eugene’s mom used to date,earlier in high school. Hector stole his rhino from a circus that was passing through the DK,and he found the bear cats in the woods. Cass found Owl as a bb chick that fell out of his nest and was hurt and this happened not too long after her mom died so Owl just became her emotional support animal as well as her fighting bird. Andrew is dyslexic,oh and Quirin is color blind.
Idk ig Cass but I don’t like how they wrote it in the series. But my second would have to be Varian cuz ngl that would also make sense. But yet again I’m also interested with the moon!Eugene au.
I need to read more but so far Blood of my brother by AMax76✨😌✨
2018,when season one just ended. I did watch the short film when it came out but,then I just kinda forgot abt it😅. So yah I officially joined in 2018
Saw the teaser on Disney channel.
My top three should be, 1) ready as I’ll ever be 2)waiting in the wings 3)nothing left to lose
Through it all and living the dream.
At the beginning:raps. By the end? Cass,Eugene and Varian.
Fred.
Again I have too many😅. But I’ll try to keep this one shorter. IMO we should’ve had more lore on the DK and especially Saporia. I really would’ve liked to see them really dive into the motives of why they wanted to take Corona back. I also think that Ready as I’ll ever be should’ve gotten a reprise ont eh finale I stead of us getting through it all,cuz let’s be real that song was not it.

Hey guys guess what I did. Hint: it's something silly. (This Is gonna be a long one so prepare)
Httyd au concept:
The biggest changes (for now) are:
There are two reasons vikings attack dragons and viceversa: First, since Vikings have gods who represent the winter (my Man Ullr for example) and ice, whom they worshipped (still using my Man Ullr as an example, His temples are pretty ambiguos, but he has been seen depicted along with other main gods, like Odín), and dragons are beasts who can breath fire, they could be considered creature who against the gods, therefore the war against them has elements of religion too. It's almost like a Holy war, to gain honor and respect by appealing to the gods. Second is the same one as the in the movies, survival.
Jack Frost (from rise of the guardians) Is there. This Is gonna be very important, so remember it. The tooth Fairy Is there too, but North and Hugh Jackman's fursona (forgot his stupid name) arent there yet because their holidays begin with Christian tradition. They aint that important but this may change.
We talked about another reason there could be to figth dragons. This would make Hiccup's "betrayal" a bigger deal. Not only Is he "choosing" an active threat to the safety of everyone instead of His family, he Is also rejecting the culture and religion he grew up with.
As a direct consicuence of this, Stoick locks Hiccup up with the other dragons. Astrid and Jack get him out so not everything Is bad (in other news, I like both hiccstrid and hijack, so polycule it Is).
Jack is part of the reason the punishment Is harsher in this au and why religion Is involved into the dragon war.
Now you migth say "But Jack wouldnt tell them to murder dragons Finn! Your whole argument goes down!".
I'm prepared for people like you bitch.
His Powers, demeanor and abilities (not all of them, I know, Bear with my surface level knowledge of norse mythology) match almost exactly with the ones some gods have (His demeanor Is very Loki-ish, his Powers match almost exactly Ullr's, etc) and so Is a direct confirmation of The Gods Exist And These Things Are Against Them.
Even tho Jack doesn't tell them to start this war, he doesn't either tell them to stop because he either; doesn't know (there are many other Places in the Globe to be, many other things happening everywhere and I bet it's kind of Easy to just. Forget about the dragons if you were there to see Jesús nailed to the cross. To see the Roman empire rise and fall. To see ANY of the empires rising at the Time. Also in this au Jack Is a much older Entity btw), doesn't care (highly unlikely, but it would be nice to give him angst. If believing the dragons are Out There to get their gods keeps a good chunk of population believing in His existence and knowing how important this topic Is for him, I bet he would look somewhere else during the slaugther) or wouldnt be effective (the dragons are still taking away most of their supplies for survival, so telling them to stop without offering a nonviolent way of dealing with dragons Will only get them to stop believing in him and kill them anyway)
I got More but I'm kinda in a Rush and I Wanna get this out There as fast as possible.
Maybe I'll write a fic about this but I Wanna have everything figures out first
So like, I just rewatched the first movie of httyd and I thougt wouldnt it be fucked up if Stoick had decided to lock Hiccup with the other dragons or what.
Cus you know. He said Hiccup "chose" His side with the dragons, and those chains they put on Toothless looked pretty sturdy, so they know how to contain dragons. If he did wanted to be cruel he could have put Hiccup in the chains of smaller dragons and left him with Them.
Thinking about httyd. Migth do something silly and get deeper into this.

OK I'M REWATCHING HTTYD BC I NEED SEROTONIN SO YE
Here are some Things I had forgotten or little details I just noticed on my rewatch, maybe even Unpopular Opinions 🤭👀
✨httyd 1✨
The reason to their ugly ass names is because "parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls"
One of the reasons to Hiccup's skills and abilities with building stuff is because he was Gobber's apprentice since he was little
- HOW COME I COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS?!😳
I feel like Stoick's the only person that would get into a fist fight with a dragon 😂
"We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard" I missed this 🥺
I love how Stoick's just so passionate about being a Viking
"It's only fun if you get a scar out of it"
OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT WHEN HICCUP SAYS "it looks like it's just you and me huh?" In RTTE he was referring back to this one scene in the first movie where he says the same thing to Astrid when they're training against the Gronckle
"The unholy offspring of lightining and death itself" BADASS✋🏼😩
Guys... Hiccup looks weird with 2 legs...
Ok but whenever they're fighting the Nadder and Astrid lectures Hiccup about taking things seriously and choosing sides... I feel like she's also trying to convince herself to take it seriously because after hitting the Nadder she kinda looked... Like she regretted it..
The way toothless shares his fish with Hiccup🥺 his facial expressions and how he's literally expecting hiccup to eat and SWALLOW it AND THE WAY HE ALSO COPIES HIS SMILE🥺🥺🥺🥺
DRAWINGS ‼️‼️‼️‼️
There's no way toothless didn't notice when Hiccup was putting the new tail in for the first time... I think at that point he already trusted him enough to do that...
I love how Astrid won't take shit from the boys
"Oh, I'm hurt! I am very much hurt!" JABDHSHA
Astrid looked so gorgeous in min 39:04 🤩
The part where they're all just shocked that Hiccup managed to convince the zippleback to go into its cage
TEST DRIVE 🥺🤩😁
The way the scene becomes way more badass right after hiccup throws away the cheat sheet and just acts on impulse 🤩
"Everything we know about you guys is wrong"
"Ow why would you do that?!" "That's for the lies. And that's for everything else" YOUNG HICCSTRID 🥺🥺
"Thank you for nothing you useless reptile" JAHDHAHSHA I LOVE THIS SCENE
ROMANTIC FLIGHT 💓😚❤️😍🧡💞✨💓💕💫I don't think I've ever been happier
"that's for kidnapping me... *kiss* And that's for everything else"
"What are you gonna do about it?" "Probably something stupid"
I swear the amount of amazing lines this movie has 🤩✋🏼
Why had I completely forgotten about the red death?
No because the way they literally made it implode
And the way toothless saved hiccup and had him completely wrapped with his wings and legs 🥺
KISSY KISSY KISSY KISS KISSSSSSS✋🏼😩😁🥰💝😍💞💖😚😌
I finished it and now I'm sad :(
Alsoooo read the tags and help me cause I'm not sure and I don't remember and also let me know what u think

Saltober Day Six: Movie Characters…?
Original post here
Hmm…if I had to pick a movie character that I really dislike…I'd say it would be…the main guy from Weathering With You. Actually, no, scratch that, it's a tie between literally everyone in that movie (except Taki and Mitsuha, you guys did nothing wrong, you guys did amazing, I love you so much). In fact, the entire movie sucked absolute ass. (Maybe I should have entered it for day three but 1) I kind of forgot about it until now, 2) with HTTYD THW I was more pissed at the movie itself than the characters, so it might be more fitting to talk about WWY here)
Anyways, everyone in that movie acts so fucking stupid, like oh my GOD, if you find a gun lying around DON'T JUST FUCKING TAKE IT LIKE THAT, OH MY GOD?? Fucking don't just go around toting a GUN for no reason?? And fucks sake DON'T just whip it out where anyone could see you, you fucking IDIOT??
Also I can't believe he fucked everyone living in Tokyo over, like half the city is submerged underwater, literally half the population of Tokyo is homeless now, their transportation system is totally fucked, good going, guy, I hope you're happy. Ok I know that girl was his friend and yeah typically people don't jump at the opportunity to sacrifice their friends to the sky gods (?) or whatever but like come on, an ENTIRE FUCKING CITY and potentially all the surrounding areas are at stake here, are you really going to fuck over a whole city's worth of people just for one girl? Like come on bruh. Yeah I know it sucks and I know I sound like an asshole but like. You should have just let her go, man.
And it's not even like in Ponyo, where like Ponyo's giant magic goddess fish mom and/or her funky wizard dad could use magic to, like, unsubmerge the city, goodness NO, Tokyo is just. Flooded. Pretty much indefinitely. My god I feel so sorry for the people who lost their houses and also potentially their fucking jobs??
And ALSO the way the police acted in this movie oh my god?? It's literally just ONE (1) boy with ONE (1) PIDDLY LITTLE GUN that doesn't even have all the bullets in it, but by the way they were acting you'd think he was a six-foot hulking Thanos level supervillain with laser eyes and seven arms with an automatic rifle in each arm or something. Maybe chill tf out? Yeah he's got a piddly little gun, so what? You're literally the police, YOU'VE GOT GUNS TOO you've got bulletproof vests and shit what the fuck are you freaking out about??
(Side note: yeah I forgot their names what are you gonna do about it?)

hello and welcome to gryphon’s crackshit crossover corner
I’ve already talked about my theory that httyd is set in the very distant, post-apocalyptic future. that theory was originally inspired by ‘what if httyd and horizon zero dawn crossover?’ My brain said things and for some fuckforsaken reason I listened. 
TL:DR I can smash together a crossover of so many different fandoms and media. It’s stupid. I’m crazy. I love it. This is what ADHD makes me think about when I zone out 
Anyway, first thing; the portal games could cross over with virtually anything. Portal-lands (borderlands). Portal age of wonderbeasts. How to Portal Your Dragon. Portal and the Princesses of Power. Portal: Zero Dawn. Portalverwatch. Portales of Arcadia. Fuck, if I really wanted, I could make the portal series crossover with Star Wars. This is because the time gap between portal one and two is spectacularly, deliciously difficult to pinpoint. If I shuffle it around, I could align the times during which action and dramatic events occur to line up with Chell finally escaping the facility. She walks through the wheat field and immediately encounters a megabunny, or a herd of grazers and striders. Or she trips on a rusted null sector carcass. Or her first night on the surface she’s staring at the moon and the star-filled sky, until she hears a slowly mounting screech and a flash of lightning. Or after a couple days she encounters a migration of creatures with stone skin, because they’re going to New Jersey and wanted to stop in Michigan to visit the great lakes, I guess. Or a couple weeks in to her new life, there’s a bright flash in the sky, and now she’s glowing? And has weird glowing tattoos on her arm? And can set things on fire? Or a year or two after she escapes, a spaceship? touches down? and out comes a catgirl, a lady with prehensile hair, a weird tall white guy, but not, like, a typical white guy, his skin is literally snow white, and someone who appears to be (???) normally human????? With portal, anything is possible. Bonus points that technically any and all fanfiction, AUs, the like etc. of portal are canon, thanks to cave literally reaching through the multiverse, thereby making all of those alternative realities possible. 
So if I wanted, I could stick portal in anything. Like how salt can be used in virtually every cuisine. 
But oh, my dear brain did not stop there. This is a crackshit crossover corner, after all.  If I fuck around enough, I could frankenstein together almost all of these. The events in HZD take place approximately one thousand years after the apocalypse, which occurred mid-2000s. As in 2050s-60s, not 2005. Kipo Age of Wonderbeasts takes place about 200 years after their mutepocalypse (also it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that ‘mute’ was shortened from ‘mutants’ and has nothing to do with their ability to speak), and we’re not sure when that happened. We could hazard a guess that Gaia was able to rebuild the world and some of humanity after Faro’s fuckup, but maybe went a liiiiiiiittle too far with the Artemis sub-probgram, and the mutepocalypse happens almost immediately. Oopsies. World goes on for 200 years post mutepocalypse, events of the series of Kipo Age of Wonderbeasts occur. Anknown amount of years later Hades decide’s that’s enough and wipes Gaia’s slate clean for her to start over again. She gives it another shot, but this time limits the amount of historical information that she gave to the humans that she released. Might’ve been a bit inaccurate, because do you know just how much human media insisted that vikings had horned helmets? (Could also explain why somehow Tuffnut knows some spanish). Whatever. This time she tries dragons. Things are actually going pretty well for a couple hundred years, Gaia always thought the ancient mythological tales of winged fire-breathers were cool, why not try it out? Until--are you kidding? The dragons disappear to hide underground? From the humans? Seriously? Wow. Wooooow. All that effort, wasted. Hades decides it’s time to try again. This time? Screw it. Robot megafauna. Hades can’t eat that. Around half a millenia later, Hades gains sentience, goes about trying to commit genocide, events of the HZD game occur. For fanfic funsies, Chell could wake up literally any time in there, because why not add another layer? These all coexist in the same space-time. Same universe, same timeline, but unfortunately not at the same time. Oof. -----> This crackshit combines Horizon Zero Dawn, Kipo Age of Wonderbeasts, and How to Train Your Dragon. (*portal optional)
Or how about somehow, some way, the whole prehistoric ‘peopling of the earth’ (deadass the name of a textbook chapter) was more like accidental colonization of the earth? The rest of the six galaxies moved on and kind of forgot about them, so Borderlands doesn’t necessarily have to be in the distant future of earth’s timeline. Some millenia ago, the Destroyer was going around, doing its thing. The Eridians didn’t like that, so they found a planet with natural capabilities they could take advantage of, asked some sirens for help, and turned it into a superweapon. After all, as typhon says, most Eridian things run on crystals. And sirens’ powers are often elemental--who’s to say the runestones on Etheria aren’t their collaborative work? Along the way they probably make an enemy because of course they do, so why not give the Heart a test run @ Horde Prime? Until Mara rebels, and yeets Etheria and its moons (and presumably star) into Despondos. Well, fuck. Horde Prime mentions ‘one thousand years’ of waiting, but when traveling through space, time can get fucky. Anyway, Now they have to come up with an alternative way to eliminate the Destroyer. It might take a few millenia of hopping around, leaving their mark on various planets, but eventually they come up with the idea of creating a cage, creating pandora... After all, the architecture of the First One’s ruins in SPOP and the various Eridian Ruins in the borderlands series aren’t super different. It’s reasonably possible that their stylistic design choices changed over time--whose hasn’t? Gothic architecture wasn’t hanging around from the dawn of human time. Anyway, we know that since they began building Pandora, the Eridians knew what it would entail. So when Nyriad killed them to power the Machine in the Pyre of the Stars, it’s not like they hadn’t prepared to die. The guardians, their own creations, have heath bars made entirely of shields, implying that they are beings not of flesh but of energy. And who wouldn’t want to at least attempt to preserve their culture, at least a shred of it? Many statues that are presumably in the Eridian’s likeness have only two arms, but some have more. And what energy-based lifeforms (from tales of arcadia) have a majority population with two arms, but a select special few with four? What is their planet called? AkiRIDIAN 5. It is implied that not even Nekrotafeyo, the Eridian’s home planet, is technically the place of their origination, so it’s not all that out of the question for them to make (and possibly fail at) a couple of planets they could put their extra-sentient lifeforms on. ‘Alright, We are called Eridians. This is the fifth planet we made for you. Have fun, we have to go die.’ How often is history not warped by time? Particularly the pronunciation of things? And of course if they’re starting over with a completely new place and no template to work off of, the architecture they come up with is not at al likely to resemble that of their progenitors. Also note that Luug and other Akiridian creatures seen, like those weird ass energy bugs, look fucking weird. You know what else looks fucking weird? The fauna of Nekrotafeyo. In this version, Mara’s story in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is the very distant early history of the Eridians, before even Nyriad, who is presumed to be very long-lived. The ancient history that the Eridians themselves left behind is in turn the prehistory of the people of Akiridian 5. And again, if u want, portal. That said, the end of SPOP S5, the end of BL3 (currently the latest borderlands game), and the end of the Tales of Arcadia series could not only exist in the same spacetime, but also at the same time. ---->This crackshit combines She ra, Borderlands, and Tales of Arcadia. (*portal optional)

I would like some hc's on Bakugou having his s/o that no one know about, not even Midoriya, show up whether it's not it's by flight or on foot, to school one day to drop off some stuff he forgot? His s/o has the Light Fury from httyd (because yes) for a quirk and she's like the embodiment of beauty and calm and then she's dating the king of explosions. Bonus if at one point she makes the noises that Light Fury does bc those noises are adorable. Love your work btw, have a nice day!
BOI I went overboard with this, it’s just the whole idea is so cool I couldn’t stop. I’m sorry if it’s too long!!
So as for her quirk, I assumed she does have wings and kinda looks like the Light Fury, she has the ears and her hair is white aaanddd she has the same eye colours as her, just the Light Fury as a human lol + she can basically do what a Light Fury can
Bakugou with a fem!s/o class 1-A doesn’t know about who has a Light Fury quirk
Tumblr media
* he can make explosions, you basically spit fire, so in that way you two were kind of similar
* It was most likely the reason you two met. He had seen a purple coloured explosion and felt a strange urge to beat whoever had that quirk
* It was probably because it looked like his and this boy just has to be the number one
* At first you refused, your calm demeanour making you someone who didn’t like fights
* But since he wouldn’t shut up you decided to get this over with
* Long story short, a while after that you two became a couple
* You didn’t attend ua, you went to a different school since you had other interests and ua had a very low acceptance rate
* You and Bakugou still managed to meet up however.
* No one in class 1-A knew Bakugou had a girlfriend
* And you knew that his classmates didn’t know
* You two didn’t mind- it wasn’t like it would change your relationship much
* Or you thought so at least
* One day, you woke up and realised that Bakugou had left his phone at your place
* You didn’t have school that day but he did
* You knew you couldn’t enter the school since only students and teachers could
* Which you totally understood considering the events that had occurred
* But you still decided to pay a visit, hoping that your boyfriend hadn’t entered yet
* And lucky you, he hadn’t
* He was standing in front of the school, yelling at some classmates who you guessed were friends of his?
* Though he probably wouldn’t admit that
* “Katsuki!” You spoke, your voice still calm and sweet despite you trying to raise your volume.
* He immediately stopped yelling and looked at you
* You two had been together for a while so he’d gotten used to your voice being soft
* You walked up to him and handed him his phone
* “You left this at my house.”
* Bakugou would probably mentally scold himself for forgetting his damn phone
* “Who’s that girl?” Kaminari would whisper to Mina
* “I don’t know but they’re on a first name basis.” She’d whisper back
* This took a while for the lightning boy to process, and when he understood his eyes widened
* “BAKUBRO HAS A GIRLFRIEND!” He’d yell out making you both look at him in surprise.
* Your cheeks heated up and you could’ve sworn bakugou’s were a slight shade of pink too
* “Shut up you damn knockoff pikachu! So what if she’s my girlfriend?!” He yelled
* “Wait, really?” Uraraka, who had just passed by asked.
* Her eyes would fall on you and she’d gasp
* “Oh my gosh she’s so pretty!”
* Everyone would be so shook, even Midoriya
* “N-nice to meet you, my name is Midoriya.” He’d politely say, making you smile. This boy was too precious.
* “Are you flirting with my girlfriend, Deku?!” Bakugou would yell, walking up to the poor small boy.
* You’d stop him quickly and look at him
* “Relax Katsuki, he just tried to be nice.”
* “Not like he can take you from me anyway. I’m way better.” He’d scoff
* “You know Bakugou, she’s like the total opposite of you.” Sero remarked, making Bakugou start yelling again
* While that went on, the girls of 1-A were gushing and asking about your quirk
* They loved your wings and thought it was the coolest thing ever
* Before you knew it Yaoyorozu was rubbing your ears
* A sound that was like a dragon growl, but more adorable, escaped your lips
* “Oh my god.” Uraraka would say
* “You just made the cutest sound ever!” Hagakure squealed, which made you blush
* “If she can make those noises while being petted, imagine what other noises she could make.” Mineta smirked as he went closer to you
* Yeah... that guy didn’t leave a good impression on you
* Bakugou was about to beat him up but Jirou entered one of her earphones into his ear and within a second he was gone
* “Why did you never tell us you had a girlfriend?!” Kaminari asked
* “It’s not like you dumbasses ever asked.”
* “It’s not like you seem like the perfect boyfriend to date.” Kaminari would mutter under his breath and quickly hide behind Sero in order not to get killed
* “Katsuki is a really sweet boyfriend, trust me.” You spoke calmly, having overheard what he said.
* The whole class was shook at this
* Bakugou??? A good boyfriend???
* It wasn’t like they hated him
* But the boy had some anger issues
* But you knew he only showed his softer side to you
* He loved cuddling you, talking about his day and doing nothing if he was really tired

So I just got back from watching The Hidden World. My friends admit they were waiting for me to start bawling and I did once the credits rolled. But I got some things to say while I’m still crying.
First off, I’m gonna say that the animation was drop dead gorgeous and the soundtrack was 10/10. And when the credits started with Hiccup befriending Toothless for the first time, I lost it and screamed “DON’T FUCKING DO THIS TO ME!”. I had a HTTYD blanket that I took with me and I just cried on it man.
Now before I saw the movie, I saw a post from @shima-draws that Hiccup and Toothless’s friendship gets shoved to the side for Toothless’s romance with the LightFury. This made me worried, but I decided not to think about it until I saw the movie.
I now know what she meant.
I won’t say there’s a complete disregard, but there is a disregard on Toothless’s end because he doesn’t really think about Hiccup throughout the movie. And when Toothless was in the Hidden World with all of the other dragons, he looked like he didn’t want to leave, and it showed when he did. I mean, I kinda get it. Toothless runs into another of his kind and he wants to know more. Cool. Whatever. But if the LightFury was male, the same thing would have happened, and I probably wouldn’t be as bothered by it as I am.
Also, if it was just Toothless being infatuated with the fact that he’s not the only NightFury instead of falling in love, I feel like that would have been a lot better and it wouldn’t feel like Toothless ditched Hiccup for romance.
When all of the dragons left, I felt that Toothless just said goodbye rather too easily. There should have been more resistance and even though I cried, I found it weird how Toothless and Hiccup were saying goodbye so fast.
I’ll say this right now: I wish the LightFury was evil. Yes, it’s cliche, but I wish she was. I swear she looked like she was actually working for the villain (I fucking forgot his name but I’ll call him Drago Bloodfist 2.0 because that’s basically who he is), and was just manipulating Toothless into leading her and the hunters to the Berkian dragons. And then when she has doubts, she joins the Berkians and fights the bad guy and joins their family. I know it’s cliche, but I find it a whole lot better than her just being the love interest.
Aside from her badass camouflage ability, there’s nothing interesting about her, and the camouflage ability is apparently just a normal Fury power, so she’s just bland. In the scenes where she and Toothless were together, I only smiled cause of Toothless.
I would say she’s the equivalent of Kairi in Kingdom Hearts, but that’s too cruel. The LightFury may be bland, but she’s not a plot device *cough cough* Kairi fucking sucks *cough*
But yeah Hiccup and Toothless didn’t feel as close as they did in the previous movies AND the TV shows (ARE WE JUST GONNA FORGET ABOUT DIRE STRAITS IN RACE TO THE EDGE!?), and I understand why the dragons had to leave, but I didn’t feel satisfied with them leaving.
Also someone give the name of the villain’s dragons. They were fucking cool and I want to know what they’re called. And I want the Hiccstrid kids’ names.
I loved every Hiccstrid moment and every scene just reminded us that Astrid wore the pants in the relationship.
Overall, I enjoyed Hidden World, but HTTYD 2 will stand as my favorite in the trilogy. It felt kinda rushed at some parts and when the final battle hit, I was like “Really? We’re here already?” Instead of a movie, it felt like I was watching an episode of Race to the Edge, and as much as I love that show, some episodes do feel super rushed. That’s the feeling I got with Hidden World. I loved the movie, and it was a great conclusion, but I can’t say I’m fully satisfied.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3... sort of review.
This is sort of my first ever review on anything at all on my tumblr blog, and i just have a lot of feelings to talk about How to Train Your Dragon 3. 
So i watched HTTYD3 and I’ve got say, I had a lot of feelings about this movie. Some parts of the movie were my absolute favorite that i couldn't stop squealing in joy for because it was so amazing and lovely and the whole team made a great job of it. 
Lets talk about what I found not so amazing in the movie. And i have spoilers, so those that haven't watched the movie yet. stop reading this now, because i will need to go into details about it. For warning that I have not read any of the HTTYD book series and I’m not sure if anything i comment here in my dislike might be canon in the series itself. But i’m happy for anyone to point me out on that. 
When i first saw the trailer of HTTYD3, i was so excited. HTTYD2 was one of my absolute favorite animation movie of all time and I still think that they should have won the Oscars for Best Animated Feature and instead of Big Hero 6. It was everything and more than what the first movie gave and the bar that they set was so high in standards. There was romance (my absolute favorite), adventure, death and love lost and found and they paced it all so super well, that i was hoping the same for this. Alas, they didn’t quite reached what they had set out to do. 
First thing that i didn’t really feel real excitement was the introduction to the female night fury. WHAT WAS THAT???? oh my god. I just couldn't believe that the team behind it was like we gonna make a white night fury. WHAT? have they not realized why in doing that would defeat the purpose of naming it a Night Fury???? It is a dragon that preys in the NIGHT!!!!. That’s what makes it deadly and dangerous because no one has ever seen what one had looked like before Toothless. Why in the world would you make one in WHITE!!!!, when they can be so easily killed in the goddamn night. This would probably make more sense about why all the other night furies have gone extinct because all the female have been killed because they kept flying in the night where they are shot very easily because they are so WHITE. and now none of the male night furies can procreate and have babies and that is why they all have gone extinct except for Toothless.  I didn't have a problem with a female night fury, it was fine. But it looked like an sickly albino dragon that it didn't really settle with me and i didn't like her one bit throughout the movie. It would have been incredible if they had made the female night fury the same color as Toothless, but in a lighter shade. that way we still tell apart the female night fury. they could have played around with the features of the female night fury to show how it distinguishes from the male. It was already so obvious in the movie that Toothless has green eyes and the female night Fury has blue eyes. It would have been enough to tell the two apart without completely altering the very essential design of the Night Fury. 
I don't know why but I think that the writers might have made the original concept of the female night fury pink and they probably thought like we couldn't work with that because it’d be too obvious and decided to make it white instead that way the children could still see the female from the male, but not make it too obvious. They do realize that children are not that dumb right. I understand that it is in the premise of an animated film aimed at children, but they cant have thought that children are that dumb that they can’t even tell apart a male and female dragon. More than anything children pick this kind of things up really quickly because they are bright enough to understand. Children can tell them apart from the features alone. Already this is going on too long. Yeah i just didn’t really like the whole white albino night fury thing.
Next was the villain, i don’t know man. The villain just seem like a cardboard cut of like a stereotypical villain. the only reason he wants to kill dragons is because when he killed a Night Fury when he was a kid, everyone in his village sort of worshiped him as a God. Like his motivation to killing dragons are for self-gratifications?  You’ve already established a good, complex, and well-developed villain in the second movie, why the need for the same thing in this one? If you are creating this movie as a sort of finale to the trilogy, they could’ve made it end in similar to how the first movie began. The first movie began with the issues of dragons and it could have ended with the issues concerning dragons again, there was no need for a villain at all in this movie. The first movie was really well developed in the conflict where Hiccup faced it in his father and the viking community. it showed how Hiccup believed in dragons being their equal and he wants to show that to his father who opposes that very union. It felt personal and amazing and made a great story. The second movie had a proper villain where the bad guy wants to eradicate dragons because of a personal history of something happening to him because of the dragons and fueled by the disgrace from the vikings themselves. His anger fueled his goals and we saw where it took him. He was almost a sociopath in that sense and the conflict that ensued between Hiccup and the villain was the climax of the movie and was made incredibly well. Because we understand his motivations and why he is doing the things he is doing, we understand where his coming from.
i just don’t understand the villain in this one. It was like he was just put in there so that they had something to progress the story or one even remotely resembling a plot. the villain’s motivation felt weak at best and i cant even remember what his goddamn name was. That is how much of an impact he made in the movie. It felt like a flimsy attempt at having to recycle the same plot and idea from the second movie except that instead of fighting for their place, this time they run away with the dragons just to keep them safe. the thing was that the story could have progressed even without the villain’s involvement. Honestly i would have enjoyed it far more had there not been a villain in this one but simply an issue that Hiccup faced with the dragon overpopulation at the village. That would have given a great story and made more sense. 
the worst of the whole movie, that made really want to storm out of the cinema, was Toothless romance in this thing. i absolutely hated it. I HATED THIS!!!!!. Oh my god, it was so bad and i don’t know how much more i can emphasize that this was the one thing that completely ruined the whole movie for me. I already hated the whole albino night fur thing and this just made it worse by tenfold. The story about HTTYD has always been about Hiccup and Toothless relationship and how much they have grown to love and form a bond with each other. This movie had barely any sort of hint on that. There was a little bit of it here and there but honestly you don’t see any of it in this movie. Suddenly it had become a romantic comedy, where Toothless the hopeless romantic is trying to get the unattainable female Night Fury with the help Hiccup his ultimate wing-man. I was just speechless, i couldn't even began to understand what was the whole point in giving the dragon of all things a romantic interest. i just hated it straight out. Like completely. The whole middle chunk of the movie was just a blur to me and i just wanted it to end so badly.
And what really made me furious in this whole thing. Like this was the major i wanted to chuck the popcorn on the movie screen kind of furious. Was that in the end, Toothless left Hiccup to go start a goddamn married life with the fucking albino dragon. I was just so mad. it made me so furious. I couldn't even, I would have left the cinema if i had not payed the ticket to watch this nonsense. Are you telling me that Toothless who risked his life again and again to rescue the boy that the he truly loved and considers his best friend to start a new one with that goddamn albino thing. Like WHAT THE HECK???!!!!!. WHO WROTE THIS???!!! WHO LET THEM KEEP THIS STUPID STORY IN THE MOVIE????!!!! WHY WOULD YOU RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD MOVIE WITH THIS NONSENSE!!!!???? This movie is basically the Cursed Child of the Harry Potter Universe. People would like to forgot that this thing even existed. This movie is the the Cursed Child of How to Train Your Dragon saga. I would be far more happier thinking that this movie doesn’t exist at all. I’m happy to live with the first two movies instead of this rubbish.
I understand that the part of the theme of the movie was that Toothless was the mirror image of Hiccup. That they both grow up to be almost the same, one being a dragon and one being a viking. In the first movie, it was apparent that they were both fighting against their own kind to protect one another. Hiccup with his dad and the vikings, Toothless with the harmful dragons and that giant-ass queen dragon. This was shown again when Toothless lost a leg in the final fight with the queen dragon as how Toothless lost one of his tail glider (at least i think this was what it was) to Hiccup, a viking. It showed them both to be equal which was what the movie was about. In the second movie, it came about Hiccup taking over from his father as chief of the vikings. After the death of his father, Hiccup was suddenly thrown into it and had to step up to being chief. This was later mirrored into the fight between Toothless and the Alpha. Toothless became the Alpha once he defeated the previous one and they both became leaders of their kind. This was also a good parallel. 
But this movie was just fucking nonsense. I already knew this movie was going to be about Astrid and Hiccup talking about marriage or at least a conversation about it, This was fine. It was fine for the last 2 movie and it was fine in this one too. because we have already established this amazing relationship between Astrid and Hiccup. But why the heck would you want to have the same parallel of this thing with Toothless, a dragon? It’s a goddamn dragon, it doesn't need a fucking romance story. this was literally where it went downhill for me. The whole Toothless motivation was just motivated with him wanting to mate with the albino the whole way through. I’m not lying guys this was what took place for a good hour in the movie and i hated it. Completely hated it. There was barely anything of a hint of real emotion or love between Hiccup and Toothless. This movie was basically Hiccup trying to please Toothless by helping his get the female Night Fury because Toothless was throwing a fucking tantrum about it. That literally what it was about. He just gave in and said that it was okay for Toothless to leave him because of the fucking albino. I do not believe that you would make 2 whole movies establishing this great relationship between Hiccup and Toothless just to end up for Toothless getting laid and starting a family and Hiccup just letting that happen and doing the same. I do not believe that. I do not believe that any of this characters would be motivated or would have done the things that they done in this movie at all. This whole movie was just flimsy attempt at a story that was just barely developed. The entire motivation of the main characters and villains just seem flimsy at best or just downright wrong. It’s like a bad rendering of a fan-fiction.
The most ridiculous thing of the whole movie was the Hidden World. We don’t get anything more than a 5-minutes fly over of Hiccup and Astrid there. Like why would they even name the movie after this Hidden World if you are not even going to show us more than 5 minutes of it. What was even the point of having the Hidden World if you are not going to help us understand or even establish what it is about.?  I wanted more, i wanted to learn its origins, what was there, how did it get hidden, how the dragons found the home there everything. I was really disappointed by this.
The whole movie could have gone in a very good direction because there was already a good story in it that no one even seemed to attempt to want to develop it and instead was so focused on this romantic nonsense between the dragons. The vikings and Hiccup were facing a problem of overpopulation of the dragons in their village, This was good. There is an issue. Hiccup could have been like, “ Uh, guys, the dragons are overcrowding our homes we don’t have any place to stay, we need to get a bigger village. This is good, OK we move one. One day, there was an attempted attack on the village, just some random person. There was no need for an established villain at all. Then Hiccup grows concern for the safety of both the dragons and the vikings. Living in this overcrowded place is proving to be impossible and it is creating a bigger target on the dragons. There was only a handful of them to actually protect the village and the dragons at the same time. Hence why they move, they move to find  better home for the dragons and themselves, - the Hidden World - instead of them running away from the villain.
So far good. The one day, when they settle at some place, Hiccup and Toothless comes across another night fury, it didn't even need to be a female, just another night fury and it would have been fine.This would mean  that Toothless wasn't the last of his kind and there is maybe more Night Furies here or maybe a family of them. See how the story could have progressed even without a female Night Fury. There didn't even need to be any fucking romance at all and it would have been a really good story. And we get to see that Toothless and Hiccup going in search for the other Night Fury and they come across a whole nest of them and Toothless is so happy and excited. This is the first time he is seeing another of his kind and there he feels like he finally belongs to a family. But the other Night Furies seeing Hiccup would have attacked him, and Toothless coming to his defense. The other dragons are confused as to why Toothless is protecting this human, when human and dragons are each others natural enemies. So in the end they leave the place, with a heavy heart and Toothless being sad. And Hiccup deciding that it was time that Toothless see the other dragons on his own and gives him the new tail that allows him the freedom to fly on his own without a rider. 
This would have been a far better developed plot for the movie. It would have been the idea of granting Toothless his freedom. This would have tied the theme of the movie so brilliantly, which had always been freedom. Freedom to live, freedom to choose who you love, freedom to be who we are meant to be. And it would have also tied in to mythology of what it means to be a dragon. Dragons are these mighty beasts of the sky and what means more than anything to them is their freedom to be free and fly. Toothless discovering the family would have meant that he was finally granted the freedom to fly on his own. And more than anything he wants to be with his own kind. And here is where we could have shown the parallel image of how it ties back to the both of them again. Toothless wanting to be his own kind but also not wanting to leave Hiccup yet, and Hiccup, even though granting Toothless his freedom is still not ready to let him go yet. This would have been a brilliant way to show conflict and issue between the both and the love they have for each other. And this would have even brought the movie to a full circle to how it began, with vikings and dragons being two different people and the idea of how they were going to be together. This would have made a great emotional impact, the love between Toothless and Hiccup of how Toothless loves Hiccup but he craves to be with the family he just discovered and how Hiccup loves Toothless enough to grant him the freedom to choose where he wanted to be. See how good the movie could have been if they just never had the stupid romance at all. 
This conflict could have been the highlight of the movie and how they were going to overcome these issues. Then also showing that when Toothless finding his family, he also finds the Hidden World, and we finally get to see the whole Hidden World from Toothless’s eyes and we get and understanding of the place. This would have been a brilliant way to give us the view of what the Hidden World was like. Once this is done, and we see Toothless being happy and excited to be with the rest of his kind, we get to the climax of the story. The same person who earlier attacked the village, could have followed Toothless to the Hidden World and have captured the dragons and Toothless tries to rescue them, but he couldn’t, so that he flies back to Hiccup and they together go back to rescue the dragons and they do eventually. The other Night Furies soon sees that Hiccup is not such a bad guys and they stop attacking him and here would be the big finale where they both have to make a decision. The Other Night Furies welcome Toothless to live with them in the Hidden World and to every other dragon from Berk that wants to.  
Toothless and Hiccup have a moment and Hiccup being Hiccup would have granted Toothless the freedom to go and live with his family, knowing that he might not ever see him again. And it breaks Hiccup’s heart to make this choice but he knows that this is the right thing to do. And so Toothless leaves Hiccup to go to the Hidden World with the rest of the Night Furies with the other dragons. Astrid is there to hold Hiccup when they say goodbye to the dragons. Then we get to the wedding scene and Hiccup and Astrid gets married and Hiccup seems to be sorely missing Toothless and they both look over to the horizon and there out of nowhere coming towards them is none other than Toothless. Hiccup doesn't understand why Toothless was back, wasn't he leaving to live with the other dragons, but no some of them do return to the vikings. This would have given me all the feels and it would have been such a perfect way of ending the movie. The idea that Toothless now knows that he is not the last of his kind, and that there is family out there for him and they will always be there for him to welcome him. But to Toothless, family had always been Hiccup and that is why he returned to his true family. 
This could have been such an incredible movie. simple and good and not overly complicated. this would have been the perfect story for all of them. And just it would have been so lovely and bittersweet and just good. But instead what we got was a Cursed Child parody. And i am just really sad about this.
Yeah so basically i hated at least 75% of the movie. 
But there were some things that i really liked. i really loved the concept art of the characters. Those dragon scaled armors were one of my favorite things in the entire movie. The characters looks were amazing. the visual concept and looks were amazing. The whole environment art and concept were great. What i really really loved about this movie was the relationship between Astrid and Hiccup. Their relationship was some of the best romance that had been portrayed in any kind of film that i have seen and really loved. From the 1st movie till the 3rd one, their relationship has been one of the strongest suit in the entire movie. The love that they portray in the film is such a kind love, very subtle but it speaks volume. Also, that they aren’t so completely in love with each other that everything else is blind to them. Instead they are each their own individual and they complement each other instead of being each other's half like it is portrayed in so many romances. They each have so much good personality within them that they don’t drown each other but lift each other up and that’s what makes the both of them such a strong couple. The most pleasure that i had in the entire movie is their wedding. Oh my god, i almost cried and it was amazing and perfect and everything i love and pictured for them. 
i was alright with them having kids and all i wasn't really that excited about it, it would have been great to leave at the wedding itself, but it wasn't really something that needed to be there, but i really didn't think it was much of a complain. The one thing that i really made me sad about the movie was that, i don’t believe that Toothless would have left Hiccup for a goddamn albino dragon, he can do so such much better. but the fact that Hiccup’s children would grow up not knowing Toothless and or any of the great relationship between Hiccup and Toothless was what made me really sad about this whole. Because i truly believed that Toothless would not have behaved as he did in this movie and he would not have left Hiccup and Hiccup would not have just given in to Toothless’s tantrums as he did in this movie. It was really sad and disappointing.  
But yeah, so that was my review on the movie and mostly me ranting about my feelings for this movie. I’m also assuming that someone might have reached all the way down here and have had a good read. to which i am entirely grateful to.
So cheers.

So..back from watching HTTYD 3...
(I respect everyone who loved it and cried during watching it, so if you loved it a lot, I recommend on not reading this post.) 
(Contains entire plot of movie including personal criticism.) 
And I didn’t really like it. I thought the visuals were good, but the plot and motivations were really weak compared to the previous movies and there was a lot of weird stuff in there that was just unnecessary or actually relevant.
 My main problem with is it’s just too predictable. Movies can be predictable, and maybe because this is the last movie of a trilogy I might have gotten too hyped up. But if you’re going to make it be predictable, then add actually good conflict or good dialogue. But the dialogue is so cliched like, How are your plans on conquering the world going? You’re the one who changed me, I will destroy everything and everyone you love MUHAHAHAHHA Our home is not only this place we live on, it’s us and something like that. 
 And am I the only one who thought the writers were gonna go with Tuffnut is actually gay for Hiccup route? I know he’s an annoying character, but the way he’s always bringing up
  is Hiccup’s getting married to Astrid, is he not gonna get married to her, he’s gonna help out with him, talks about a lot about Hiccup, overly agreeing with everything he does and the weird smashing Hiccup into his ‘beard’ 
was really disturbing in my opinion. I don’t get why Tuffnut’s there. 
 Snotlout likes Valka now. Yeah, wasn’t okay at all with that. And he still has inferiority issues, now with Eret. Which was resolved in the end with Hiccup’s mom going like hey, I think you have better brains than Eret, which means we have possible chemistry and this is NOT OKAY TO ME. Snotlout never had any scene which would make her say that, and why would she even show any interest to someone at a similar age to her son? 
I have no idea how Snotlout’s character development is like in the tv series, but writers, if you’re gonna use that as a character trait, can’t you just have it actually be relevant to the story and build up the guy to be an actual character than a stereotypical stupid bully jerk who now likes the MAIN CHARACTER’S MOM??? 
And the villain.
This guy. I forgot what his name was after I came out watching it, so I just found it’s Grimmel, Grimmel the Grisly. Okay. You claim to have killed all of the Night Furies. How did you know you killed all of them? Did you like count all of the N.Fs and then started killing them off one by one? Did you do the same with the Light Furies? Does NightLight Furies live outside of the Hidden world and that’s why you could count all of them? 
How does Valka know the Night Furies were all killed too? If He’s a dragon ‘hunter’ why didn’t Valka, who were protecting the dragons like Hiccup, not know who he is and have methods to defend against him? Was she just protecting dragons who lived in a certain range of land? 
I really thought Grimmel was going to turn out as the ‘Anti-Hiccup’, someone who Hiccup could have been, challenging Hiccup physically and psychologically. He could have threatened to destroy Berk with the help of his conqueror friends, he says he’s a hunter but Hiccup and his friends and viking guys just chill on the island. 
At that scene when Grimmel’s like ‘can’t you guess where they must have gone’(evil guy face), I was thinking that this guy knows EVERY PLAN THAT’S GOING ON IN HICCUP’S BRAIN OMG DON’T CAMP IN THAT ISLAND YOU GUYS ARE DOOMED but no, they have to tail Ruffnut, who was accidentally left behind, to find the actual location wayyyyyy later on. Great tracking skills, I’m so impressed. 
I can’t help but think the writers went the easy route because they didn’t want to take risks and disappoint or shock the kids that would watch the movies, but you’ve already taken risks in the first and second movies with Hiccup’s leg and Stoick’s death, the viewers have grown up with the movies, so why are you going backwards all of a sudden? Not to mention this being the end of the trilogy so I can’t expect that the next one will be better than this one. 
 My final rant is a plot I wrote right after I came back from watching it yesterday, contains the entire plot of the movie, I didn’t change the final half completely because I had to rest after all that 3D and moving chairs, just added ideas which I thought could have been in some scenes. It’s not great, some scenes could be cliche too, but it’s what I wished could have been. I haven’t watched the entire TV series, so please put that into consideration. 
(I didn’t write Grimmel’s name because I forgot what it was at the time when I was writing this down, but I think bad guy’s enough for his current characterization and you could add any name in it if you wanted, I also forgot how you call the people of Berk and just wrote vikings instead. There’s no full dialogue scenes either, just some gibberish lines.) 
Hiccup and gang saves the dragons, and returns to Berk.
 Berk is overpopulated by dragons and humans, and while managing to co-exist with them, are having problems like the dragons consuming too many fish, serious arson, and some of the vikings (including Gobber) are interested in plundering other villages with their dragons, because that’s what VIKINGS DO.
The giant dragon knocks down the towers which served as houses for the dragons, and they need a place to stay, and the newcomer dragons end up barging into the Vikings’ houses, being not accustomed to the rules. The alpha, Toothless, tries to control them, but the damage is done.
So, Hiccup is forced to look for a haven for some of the dragons to stay beyond Berk, which he recalls the memory of his dad, and the stories of the ‘Hidden World of Dragons.’ And while he wants to work on looking for that, Hiccup is chief, and can’t leave the village like he used to while Stoick was around. Hiccup also addresses that they’ll have to do something about the dragon hunters and their plans to use the dragons as weapons, and same scene with Gobber, him saying that one day Hiccup will meet his match. 
(Scene with the Conquerors, showing them training dragons to be brutal killers and detailed plans of weaponizing them) appearance of the bad guy, he doesn’t look menacing, thin and has the appearance of a weasel. Is irked at the mentioning of ‘dragon riders’, and follows similarly to movie scene. (shows his power of DARTS by immobilizing a big dragon) 
 Snotlout, claiming to be second in charge, leaves with Astrid, (and the dragons) and he brags about how dismayed she must be to lose such a guy like him (Astrid ignores him), and continues to fantasize about Hiccup’s mom.
Astrid: (disgusted, scoffs) she’s like the same age as your mom
Snotlout: and more awesome, thinner and beautiful...... (A:ugh)
Snotlout mumbles about her probably preferring Eret, and they talk over Snotlout feeling inferior and wanting to get compensation from being adored by stronger women. (like Valka or Astrid)  Astrid points out he can’t fill in that gap by getting married to the previous chief’s wife, he has to prove himself actually being courageous (S:Which I am!) They go through clouds, and is astonished.
(black screen, transitions to Berk) 
Toothless tries to play with Hiccup, but he’s burdened by his chief duties and can’t spend time with his bud. Pouting, Toothless leaves the hut and catches the scent of the Light Fury and searches for her, meeting in the forest. They have a moment, but she flies away, and Toothless looks at his prosthetic tail with resent, and looks back to the sky with longing. 
(Transition to hidden island in the clouds) 
Snotlout and Astrid arrive on the island, and finds it good enough to hide the dragons in it, and the dragons find refuge in the woods. Snotlout announces all is done and they should leave, but Astrid decides to explore the island, and draws it on pieces of paper. Snotlout questions what she’s doing, and Astrid answers it’s for Hiccup’s map. S comments on when she’s so become like Hiccup, and she comments, 
Yeah, I never saw it coming.   (Astrid smiles as she continues to draw, when suddenly she spots the Light Fury in the sky, and hurriedly draws it on another paper.)
Done with work, Hiccup sighs as he finally comes out, and sees Toothless, and asks whether his bud wants to get some flying with him. Toothless looks depressed, and trips Hiccup with his prosthetic tail. 
“Aw, come on, what you’d do that for?” (Toothless:growls)  and Hiccup is slightly worried about him. Astrid arrives with Snotlout, their mission accomplished, and Snotlout announces that HE’S seen a NEW NIGHT FURY, ONLY WHITE BUT NEW AND IT WAS HE WHO FOUND IT SO HE’LL NAME IT-  Astrid comes over to Hiccup, and hands over the drawing, and that it disappeared while being  chased by other dragons she’s never seen before.(the bad guy’s dragons.) She comments on them being very hostile, and that they were trying to force the L.Fury to come with them. Toothless listens to them talking, and makes enthusiastic motions at the mentioning of the Light Fury (also named by Astrid)
(transition to Valka) she talks about how the Night furies went extinct (memory scene) she was looking for other dragons which were going extinct, and comes across the bad guy’s lair which had skull upon skull of all kinds of dragons, and mostly Night and Light furies. And since she could communicate with dragons she never heard of them recalling on seeing another Night Fury, so assumed they had gone extinct. (Fishlegs adding that the last records of N,Furies were made of patches of writings from decades ago, so it was unclear whether they went extinct or not)
After listening to Valka, Hiccup is delighted at the idea of finding a new dragon, and wants to go and find it. Some of the Vikings are interested in having another Night fury to protect them, which they could use in their pillaging villages.(Viking stuff) Hiccup is still against using dragons as weapons, (H: They are our family) and Gobber counters, We are already using them to make weapons, you, are doing it as well, Hiccup. (H:But not to harm other humans-) But you are no Dragon. It’s high time you chose the side where you want to rule over.
And Hiccup notices most of the things he did was to assist in humans living a better life with dragons than actually trying to solve the problems the villagers had. He wonders whether he just took the place of chief just to not disappoint his father. Hiccup turns to talk with Toothless to collect his thoughts, but he’s not there, and Hiccup feels more alone and burdened than ever.
Toothless is absent during the previous scene, as he hears distress calls from afar and looks for the Light Fury. He can’t fly, but can glides down and climbs trees to look for her, and finds her hurt and afraid, injured by the bad guy’s dragons.   (same scene like the movie, tries to court her, but fails, tries again, but fails, and then succeeds with the drawing.) and when she tries to get more close, she’s shot by the evil guy’s dart, and Toothless is captured in a trap. He calls a distress call, which orders all of the dragons on Berk, who goes to save him, and the Vikings including Hiccup notice this. Before Toothless is taken, Hiccup arrives on the back of another dragon, and Hiccup encounters his enemy for the first time, but the guy flies away with his dragons. 
(transition to dart scene) Eret explains who the bad guy is, calls him ‘The Dragonslayer’  who was rumored to have killed all of the Night Furies. which connects to Valka’s story of the dragon skeleton heap. Eret adds, that if the conquerors have called upon the bad guy, then they must be ready for another attack. The Vikings call on war with the conquerors and the Dragonslayer, and they’ll use their dragons to crush them. Against the idea, Hiccup tries to say they could work things out without fighting, but he is reminded by Snotlout (Valka winces) how that turned out a year ago. He looks for Astrid to support, but she agrees with Snotlout, saying that she can’t lose him too. Not a second time. And she glances at his prosthetic leg. [which H notices, and understands]
The crowd over agreeing or disagreeing on war, and Hiccup bellows Enough! 
He asks to give him some time, he’ll work something out, and goes into his hut. (opens his map and Stoick’s book about the Hidden world.
 (same scene with the bad guy)(the bad guy’s dragons circle around Hiccup, threatening him, drooling venom)they have a talk about how the guy became a hero by killing a night Fury, (Hiccup is reminded of himself
in the first movie) Hiccup claims the dragons are harmless, and can live along with humans, as he has proven with Berk,
But the bad guy retorts, then why can’t the other Vikings exist with the dragons, if they are so harmless? Why didn’t the people of Berk co-exist with dragons before Hiccup, although they must have had so many chances to?
Hiccup:  Because they went the easy way of trying to kill them off.
B.G: Exactly. And how wrong is that? You don’t seriously think dragons to be equal to you? Just because they are big lizards that breathe fire and can fly? You wouldn’t befriend flies even if they had grown to the size of a horse, you kill them. same with dragons.
Hiccup tries to ignore the bad guy’s words, claiming he’s nothing but a cold blooded murderer, and the bad guy says he killed dragons for humans, and was therefore hailed a hero among men. Just like Stoick.  
“And whose chief were you again? Hiccup, Savior of Dragons?”
  Suddenly, Astrid hacks into the hut with Stormfly, which smelled the dragons’ venom. She saves Hiccup (and asleep Toothless or fake Fishlegs, but then Toothless comes to save Hiccup with Astrid) 
 and the bad guy retreats on his dragons, shouting that he will kill off the last Night fury alive, and he will wear their skin as his coat to honor Stoick, the greatest of dragonkillers. If Hiccup dares to stop him, he will destroy Berk. (The hut is burnt down)
Everyone hurridly arrives to see Stoick’s hut burn down, and Astrid pulling Hiccup out, them coughing from the smoke.
Hiccup says they’re in danger, the bad guy’s going to come for them unless he gives up Toothless and the dragons. The Vikings and Snotlout claim this a proclamation of war, and they leave to prepare for it, and Hiccup tries to stop them, but they don’t listen, and leave off without him. Agitated, he sighs, and leans on a post to think. Astrid comes up to Hiccup, and asks him if he’s okay. 
Hiccup: Yeah, probably, on a second…I don’t think so.
She smiles as she gives him the map of the island she (and Snotlout)found.
“I don’t think this is the place you were looking for.. but it’s not half bad. And it’s a new add to your map. “ Hiccup ponders on this information, large, not on the map, and hidden from plain sight.
He calls on the Vikings that they could move on to this Island to hide themselves, and the dragons to hide from the ships that are coming for Berk. Hiccup declares that he cannot lose the soul of Berk which is both this island and the lives of people of it.) Including the dragons.
(same scene with the bad guy and the conquerors) – B.G says he has a plan to find them (Moves off to the island with the dragons.)
(scene with Snotlout and Valka talking about inferiority issues (she says she only loves Stoick, and gives him motherly advice on being warrior like by talking about Stoick) 
---(Below are summaries of the scene from the movie, and the ideas I wished it could have been)
*The L.F arrives on the island, Toothless is given the good new tail and goes after her
Hiccup tries to capture the bad guy, falls into obvious trap (Ruffnut captured and annoys the bad guy, he follows her back with the armada)  
-  Ruffnut talks about everything about the Hiccup Gang, the bad guy could have like used that to harm Astrid and force Hiccup to do his shit or if they’re only eating fish, use some dragon to poison the water and fish so they’ll starve to death. Ever heard of Siege tactics?
*Hiccup tries to find Toothless, finds the hidden world. (Toothless hailed king, Hiccup is saved by Toothless and remembers his dad talking about his mom and getting not married and how love is powerful) 
-      This could have gone like this, Hiccup and Astrid is attacked by the dragons, and as Hiccup is the intruder, (or he or Astrid accidentally injures a dragon) Toothless shows hostility towards him, (mirrors hostility from first movie), until he recognizes it’s his best friend. Hiccup, who looks upon him with some fear. Toothless tries to look menacing to save face, and ‘kidnaps Hiccup and Astrid’, flying out to the outside world to save his friends. 
-      and Hiccup has a flashback of his dad, being this dragon killing warrior, and how he too wanted to be like his dad. But despite his fearsome front, he still believed in love and loved his mother.
*Goes back to Berk, only to find that the L.Fury returned with them, she is captured by the bad guy,  and Toothless is captured, and the other dragons have to follow their ‘Alpha’ and are caged. Hiccup is distressed, Astrid cheers him up, the gang suit up and glide down to the so conveniently barked enemy ships ALONE and tries to save Toothless (with no plan, just kamikazes into it) -      After the bad guy leaves, the Vikings panic on having no ships and stuff and they’re stuck on the island(All of their dragons are gone and nobody notices or panics?? Did the dragons mean nothing to them?) 
-      Hiccup talks with Astrid about how similar he could have been to the bad guy, whether if the bad guy is actually the true successor of his dad, the dragon slaying warrior. Astrid reminds Hiccup of how he’s changed the lives of Berk for the better by saving and looking for ways to live with dragons, that he’s always been looking for ways for both dragons and humans, and just because everyone doesn’t get Hiccup’s methods deem his work useless. Hiccup being an exception has changed so many lives and destinies, including his dad. And don’t forget it’s him who made Astrid who she is now.  Now determined, Hiccup stands. 
-      (Orders the Vikings to fight for their once friends, and regain the victory of vikings (and Snotlout agrees with him, (maybe he’s finally learned some humiliation and acceptance by then, idk) 
-      Leads the Vikings all to fly, and they all attack the fleet (surely he has more flying suits...) 
*they don’t save Toothless until the last part, saves the other dragons first and destroys ships, and then has fight with bad guy, who flies off with L.Fury and Hiccup follows with Toothless, Toothless zaps the other evil dragons into oblivion, bad guy injures Toothless and Hiccup holds onto the guy and tells L.F to go save Toothless, and he lets go and falls with the bad guy.
Bad guy rips off Hiccup’s wings, and L.F catches Hiccup, Hiccup takes off his prosthetic leg and the guy (holding on to the leg) falls to the ocean and dies(probably)   -      There could be dialogue in this scene, cliché but cool like if your father could see you now something. Maybe he takes both Astrid and the Light Fury and makes Hiccup choose between the two, 
 and Hiccup frees the Light Fury, tells her to save Toothless, hands himself over to the bad guy, and chooses to fall to the sea to save Astrid . 
“If your father could see you now. Sacrificing the love of your life... and your life for a dragon.” 
“He’d be proud.” 
[insert Astrid grinning back at Hiccup]
-      Astrid attacks the bad guy, who falls from his dragon(or falls with dragon until the dragon gets to his senses and abandons him) and Astrid leaps down to save Hiccup, (she tries to glide but the fall is too great) and they hold onto each other before falling……and then the Light fury catches them. (Give me more Hiccstrid dammit) 
(Hiccup chooses to let the dragons go, away from the humans so that they’ll never be used as weapons again) 
(I kind of expected the dragons to shut the door to their world and that’s why they can’t meet again, and can’t they just go back to the isle of Berk by making ships? I see no reason for them to not go back home) 
*Hiccup lets go of Toothless and the dragons, and gets married with Astrid (best scene with the final fight scene, where they both look at each other and the soundtrack from the first movie oh SO GREAT ) Years pass, Berk has no dragons, and Hiccup and Astrid and their kids go to the end of the world and sees Toothless again, Toothless remembers Hiccup and they ride him and Stormfly and goes off (monologue going on like the dragons are waiting for humans to accept them)
-      monologue about Berk, establishing shot with clouds, the first person view being a flying figure, and the viewer sees faint figures which look like dragons flying through the sky. The camera moves through clouds and dives down, showing the new island of Berk, the sea and Viking fleet. -      Hiccup leading a fleet with Astrid, they come across a great mist and hear sounds of dragons, but cannot see them. Astrid stands on the front deck with her children, they try to touch the mist as if she’s trying to touch the clouds (homage to first movie) The new generation of vikings are worried of the sounds being a threat, but Hiccup calms them down, and silently waits looking up to the clouds. 
Suddenly a black great figure lands on the ship, the children scramble behind Astrid’s back, and she assures them, saying it’s okay.
-      Hiccup slowly movies towards the figure, and same scene as in movie, they recognize each other, and the camera shows their expressions (as if they realize something forgotten) and ends with title.
(End) 
The bad guy’s plot for my plot (the first half I wrote) , First, make his dragons force the Light Fury to land on Berk to hide herself, and she’ll meet Toothless, and the N.L furies mate for life so they’ll fall for each other. The Light Fury’ll want to find a safe place to not get captured again, so she’ll look for a place to hide with her possible future mate in or out of Berk, but he orders his dragons to injure her, and get her calling for help, forcing Toothless to be more concerned about her. (Making them inseparable) And then it returns back to the movie with him capturing her and then forcing Toothless to be captured and then taking all the dragons in Berk.......................................................................................................................but why doesn’t he force them to lead him to the Hidden world, where he could kill all dragons by blocking the hole and Atlantising them? Why would he let her go in the first place, without any dragon following where she is?? Can he SMELL DRAGON? IS THAT HOW HE CAN TRACK THEM DOWN?? How was he sure that they’d come back after the Light Fury took Toothless back to the H.Word??? This is so confusing and ugh your plans are the worst GRIMMEL THE GRISLY YOUR NAME IS FORGETFUL AND SO IS YOUR TITLE OF DRAGON KILLER GO FOR SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN REMEMBER AFTER HOLDING ONTO MOVING CHAIRS FOR OVER AN HOUR in fact, you are NEVER SHOWN ACTUALLY KILLING A DRAGON, YOU ALWAYS JUST PUT THEM TO SLEEP YOU ARE NOT A DRAGON SLEEP FAIRY 
I do think the sub-title ‘The Hidden World’ doesn’t suit this plot, but it doesn’t matter probably. I’m really sad to see it go, but am still joyous to see that wedding scene. I’m happy to have grown up with you, How to Train your Dragon, good bye and farewell.

pull me out from the abyss
Fandom: HTTYD; Race to the Edge Canon; right after the events of “Not Lout” Links: AO3| FF.net|  Summary: In which Snotlout can’t sleep and Hiccup’s there to listen A/N: I’m sorry if this is a little unedited, but I wanted to put this up before school starts. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.
“Good job, Snotlout!”
Those were the words that reiterated around his mind for the past few hours now. The gang arrived the Edge with a new profound respect on him. Snotlout. He managed to surprise everyone today, even himself. The thought of initiating the attack such as today seemed surreal, yet it happened. It was over and done with like every obstacle they had faced.
However, his body lay still, dark irises blending with the nightly scene in his hut, rewinding the events of his heroic act. He blinked a few times, hoping they vanish into the endless dark ceiling. The previous nightmares resurfaced from the deep as they did so, and he shot up from his bed, leaving his hut to take a breath. Everyone had retired to their beds by then, sands deep into their eyes. Only one hut remained well lit by the fire that emitted from the burning coals. It did not take a minute for him to guess who was awake. He took amble steps, breathing in the fresh chill, eyes adjusting to the moonlit world around him.
When he reached his destination, he popped his head into the opening, and found his cousin on a chair with a pen in his hand and a notebook on his desk. After so many years, he still is the same hiccupy fishstick, mind buried into his knowledge Snotlout will never understand and a knack for sharpening axes and bizarre weapon inventions. As he pondered over the days of pushing him around like a puny worthless rag doll, someone called out his name. He shifted his eyes to his cousin’s face, expression full of concern.
“Hey, Snotlout. What are you doing up so late?” Hiccup asked, setting down his pen and positioning himself towards his cousin. The latter averted his eyes away from him, drawing his hand to scratch the nape of his neck.
“Couldn’t sleep.” Snotlout replied, voice soft. The silence droned on before Hiccup pushed himself off his seat and sauntered towards his cousin. Snotlout looked back at him with a question in those dark terracotta eyes.
“Wanna take a walk out through the Edge?” Hiccup asked, stretching a hand out at the open air, “Might take the mind off.” Snotlout dragged his hand at the back of his neck once more. 
“Sure.” He agreed and the two started their way through the path along the huts. The duration of their stroll was oddly pleasant. The late evening background emanated an air of calm, of serenity. It was an antidote Snotlout needed after the damage and weirdness he’d caused recently. The scenery cured away all his disquiet in his thoughts. He almost forgot his cousin beside him.
“Yeah.” He veered his vision back at the moon above, the only witness of this little moment, “I just... had a nightmare.”
He could hear Hiccup shifting beside him. The two have never concerned over such trifles, even when they were kids. A viking is brought up for war against the most deadliest beasts, the dragons. Shedding tears were only for the deaths of a comrade. Talking about ones’ fears is a weakness. 
It was a flawed belief that heir parents had drilled into their heads over the years. Spitelout’s sermons, while unreasonable, still serve as unwritten laws in his life, yet here in the bare night of the Edge, is the perfect place to erase them and start anew. 
“My dad told me things about you.” Snotlout carried on when he received no reply.
“All of you. Astrid, Fishface, the twins... and you, Hiccup.” As he listed off their names, he set his stocky built frame onto the ground and crossed his legs and his cousin followed after. Snotlout glued his eyes at the moon, as though that were the only person he placed his trust the most. He was not willing to gauge at Hiccup’s reaction, not yet at least.
“The things he said weren’t pretty...” He trailed off, fingers idly fiddling with the grass blades, then shook his head, “He kept yapping on about you guys have been saying mean things about me behind my back.”
His cousin parted his lips to speak, but Snotlout shook his head.
“I know that’s not true.” He continued, “He told me how all our friends are trying to get your approval to become the next leader of the dragon riders... He lied and I bought what he said anyway...”
“Sharpen up, boy! They’re kissin’ their way up the ladder.” The memory of his father’s rough words bled his eardrums. It was a frenzy of negative emotions that boggled him how monumental the control his father had over his life, but that shouldn’t be a surprise. 
It was how things worked between father and son.
“Is that why you...?”
“Acted weird?” He finished the sentence when Hiccup struggled to find the right word, “Yea.. I.. had nightmares after that.. I doubted all of you..”
The terrors he thought were subdued resurfaced in distant whispers, the tone of which they were calling his name set him on edge once more. They were mocking, demeaning, tethering his consciousness and reeled him in. His eyelids squeezed shut and his breathing staggered as the whispers grew into a cacophony of screams that sunk him further and further into his abysmal hell. His reality warped itself that he was almost unaware of a hand against his shoulder.
“Snotlout...” His cousin’s voice drifted into his ears and echoed through his abyss. The voices uttered on, goading his insecurities.
“Poor little Snotlout..”
“He had such promise...”
“I even secretly wanted to marry him, but now?”
“I always thought you’d become the leader of the dragon riders.” 
“Snotlout..” Hiccup’s voice reverberated through his abyss once more. It was more firm and louder than the first, yet soft spoken, like small request. The whispers faltered for a beat and Snotlout reared his head towards the sound, eyes still shut. 
“Hey, hey.. it’s okay, Snotlout.. it’s okay...” The voice carried on and the grip on the shoulder steeled but the doubt still fogged his mind as Snotlout brought a hand to curl his dark brown locks.
“We may be allies, but we’re also friends. We’re a family. You’re family.” The grip lightened and the hand ran across his shoulders and back, soothing the tension off his muscles, “And we.. all of us are willing to help you in whatever you’re feeling..”
“Even if I’m being a nuisance?” The question hangs in the air for a split second before it’s consumed by the soothing motions on his back and night background.
“You’re never a nuisance, Snotlout.” Hiccup said, stamping emphasis on every word, “Your feelings are never a nuisance.”
Everything happens almost simultaneously. In a crescendo, the whispers dissipated and the noises that filled his ears were his own stable heartbeat and the nature around them. His eyelids slowly opened and the moonlight showered away the black void that consumed him moments ago. His breaths matched his heartbeat and somehow everything felt lighter. 
Snotlout shifted his gaze to his cousin, noting those eyebrows crushed together, emerald irises shimmered with concern, and lips pulled into a frown. 
“Thanks, Hiccup.” The brunet responded with a shy of a smile and Hiccup gave an assured one in return.  
He knows those fears lurk under the covers of his unconscious, but as of the moment, his nightmares faded in the wake of the early morning.

Royal Pain ... This episode is so inconsequential the villains nor Wally or whatever his name was don’t come back at all. I could probably skip it and it would be fine BUT I’M NOT. 
Hah, Brick Flagg running for the class president. Isn’t he actually a senior?? Until S4 when he FINALLY graduated? Kim, Ron, and Bonnie are all sophomores at this point.
Ron says that the best political strategies are figured out on the golf course. I want to side eye in the direction of Florida rn because... well, yeah, American politics rn.
Also, Kim doesn’t care about politics. SHE JUST WANTS TO HELP THE PEOPLE. This is completely in character for her. 
Some of the buildings in the tiny European Nation™ that King Wallace and his son are the royals of are... medieval ish feeling. Like. This is 2002. This is early 2000s. Not 1300s.
I think the ancestor of King Wallace is supposed to be a reference to Hubert from Sleeping Beauty, like just in design, I don’t think its Hubert THOUGH THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME HEADCANON/FANFIC/AU. Basically the headcanon being that The Wallaces are descended from the union of Aurora and Phillip. But this ancestor was a dick and Hubert’s mostly an okay guy.
Also, this is really cool that this episode literally has a backstory that goes back like, to probably pre-1500s Europe. Hundreds of years. 
King Wallace tells this story of how the secret plans were drafted and he gives a sigh when he says they failed. Um... if your ancestor was dethroned that would have been bad for you???
Also, the Knights of Rodeghan in this episode have a sword that has a dragon on it (a four legged one) so AWESOME. Also, the short is shown falling to the ground and that’s so awesome.
And Ron and Crown Prince Wally literally ride go carts.
It’s the middle of the day in this tiny European Nation™ but Wade is in his pjs??? England is like six hours ahead of Central time so someone at KP forgot that. Oops. Or maybe it’s like 10am rn in tiny European Nation™ and it’s like 4am in Middleton. I can buy that. 
HAHA. Kim says Wade rocks in stereo. Um. There’s gotta be a more up-to-date reference for 2017. I mean I get they still exist but GODS IT DATES IT SO MUCH.
Mrs. Dr. P is so fucking sick of Wally. 
Wally should technically be in hiding and Ron just fucking alerts the paparazzi/press that he’s here. THAT’S NOT COOL. Like. That’s just bad. 
WALLY CALLS KIM HIGH-STRUNG. I LOVE IT.
Why is a rocket scientist running a test on a tapestry? Shouldn’t you call a historian or an art museum or something?
How does the guy at the customs kiosk not know the name of that country? And he doesn’t even check to be certain. BAD CUSTOMS AGENT!
Kim messes with her hair while she talks to Wade. 
Ron doesn’t know what a mace is called. Calls it a pointy ball stick. Whereas I knew because I’ve spent enough time watching HTTYD related materials in the last four years to know.  👍👌
It’s the same officer from Sink or Swim!
Middleton High has about 1000 students. I guess that’s the whole student body, not just one class? That makes sense. My HS had 2000+ (my graduating class was like 400+).
And Wally decides to run for President of his land. He and Vanellope von Schweetz both were like forget being the Monarch, president’s cooler.
