#and stop at httyd 2

[000marie198]

I miss HTTYD 1.

So much!

Everything about it was absolute peak-! The story, the sound effects, the BG music, the nostalgic score, the character design and character development, the theme, the dynamic flight sequences, the FEELS!

And finally, one of the best scenes in the franchise's history with a score so damn good one can see the whole thing while just listening to it. Not to mention the absolute dread and ferocity Toothless exhibits in some scenes.

Httyd 1 was truly the best piece of media in the franchise (not counting the books)

Thank you everyone so so much 🫶

He’s so beautiful

Obsessed with Astrid and Hiccup going from their main colors being blue and green respectively to both sharing the color red UGH

[countlessofvoids]

One of things I miss in HTTYD is the first movie's rough-ish artstyle. Afterwards it all looks round, soft and with really vibrant colors. Nothing wrong with vibrant colors, but combined with everything else it makes me think of plastic. Wouldn't really be a problem to me if it wasn't at the expense of (human) character design. I'll never not complain about the main characters (Hiccup, Astrid, Valka etc.) having their features turned into something marketably appealing, which ended up with them looking a bit bland and too clean. Meanwhile characters you're supposed to see as morons (Snotlout, the twins etc.) and the villains have quite a variety of designs.

I have been reading fanfics instead of actually doing anything productive because artblock hunted me down for sport

So have 2 very rough/kinda bad doodles of Toothless

I’m not explaining myself (:

Idk how to draw dragons or fish

So my own HTTYD books-movie crossover has still been living in my head rent-free so have a little snippet between movie Hiccup and Thuggory the Meathead

Thuggory closed the door and stared at Hiccup, considering. “You took his place.”

Hiccup's face gave nothing away. “You let me.”

Thuggory conceded the point with a slight hum, and sat across the table from him. “What's your real name?”

“Hiccup Haddock. And I guess I'm technically the third but that's mostly for official son-of-the-chief stuff like official decrees and things that require the great hurdle of knowing how to read to understand, so I don't think a lot of people noticed.”

“Are you sure?” Thuggory asked, “It's dangerous to be a Hiccup these days.”

“I think the chains around my wrists have made that point pretty obvious."

The Hope and Heir to the Meathead tribe laughed.

-XOXOX-

Those sounds, they sounded deeper than he’s used to, but Stoick is certain that was his son at the other end of the line. He sounded like he was trying to keep himself from crying. Astrid was with him, he heard her voice, too.

So if they found his son, he’s not certain why it’s taking her so long to call again.

Stoick sits at the dinner table, another grocery bag full of food he knows Hiccup likes. He’s been keeping the pantry and fridge stocked, expecting him home for the past couple of weeks now.

But there’s been nothing. No surprise visit from his son, not even another call from Astrid. What would Hiccup look like nowadays? Has he changed much? Does he have more freckles? Did his hair get any redder at all? Stoick is willing to bet he’s tall and strong.

But all of that will remain a fantasy so long as Astrid doesn’t bring him home. She didn’t even tell him where on God’s green Earth she’s searching from. Otherwise, he would’ve been there a long time already.

“He’ll be home one of these days, Stoick. He’s alive and that’s more than we’ve gotten in five years. And don’t forget, he has friends now!” Gobber tries to assure his friend, sitting at the table with him. But his comforting words are insignificant. While he states facts, he knows a father won’t be reassured until they have their child back in their arms again. And Stoick, he’s been holding out hope for a reunion for the past five years now.

“I should be out there and searching with them, Gobber,” Stoick tells him. He cares little for what a 20 year old snot-nosed kid thinks is good for him.

“And you will,” once they can get Astrid or one of her friends to admit where they are. “In the meantime, let’s keep the pantry and fridge full.”

Gobber heads into the kitchen before him and after a moment more of wondering about his son, Stoick follows.

He has to keep believing that he’ll see him again soon.

I love the tsu'tey lives au and the Spellman siblings! 💙🩵

I can't help but wonder how'd Tsu'tey react to them and their situation, especially if he didn't realize/notice the whole thing (the siblings adopting/raising Spider & living at Hell's Gate) till later on when the twin where like 13/14.

((I know he'd probably notice earlier bit we can pretend that he was busy with adjusting to life with his injuries/helping Jake be olo'eyktan))

he knew of the infamous 'spellman siblings' around the village, a group of 3 - previously four - children who were incredibly intelligent, prone to violence, and extremely protective of spider. he also knew they were raised by norm spellman, the 'nerd' as jake called him.

spider talked of them frequently, he was practically obsessed with the kids, many would argue they were family. tsu'tey, as much as he loved the kid, was happy to have another set of hands helping him out when he was stretched thin. he had a lot on his plate, jake needing guidance as the new olo'ekytan, his own disabilities to learn to work around, a rambunctious toddler/child (why did they grow so fast? he looked away for five seconds and the little five year old clinging to his leg was suddenly almost 10 and very much not a toddler anymore. it broke his heart a little more then he'd like to admit). he had met the kids a few times, though they seemed weary of the village people, himself included; he knew some had harsh feelings on them taking spider in, he faced it himself, and had attempted to squash it with little success. but even when he tried reaching out to the little ones, they shied away from him as well; knowing they lost so much so young, has been raised by an avatar in a lab, and had formed a bit of a secluded bond to spider, made him assume that they were just shy kids who clung to familiar family.

he had just assumed that spider was in their care while out in the world, and went home with them to his adoptive family, or at very least the 'nerd.' he was wrong. sure he saw the signs of neglect in the little human, it was easy when he was the odd one out, when the reason for his neglect was obvious (even if it was wrong, tsu'tey knew, and had excepted why it happened). it was a lot harder to spot it in kids that already had their own issues before the neglect began; the loss of their elder sister, amongst many other children they were close with, shot in front of them. the death of their parents, their people, their home. it spelled trouble for their young minds, so tsu'tey stupidly assumed that had been the reason the whole time, not the fact they were being raised by people on screens and raising an orphan on their own.

he realized it slowly, over the span of a few months, something was off, more off than he could stomach. it was little things; the older two were defensive against any adults, including the man that should be their father, being near spider. this extended to him, and it took spider begging and promising that tsu'tey was ok, "he's not like them" he said. then he realized how they never spoke of parents, not their own, not norm, not the scientists, or the adoptive family of spiders. they didn't have parents, they had each other, and that was it. then as they began spending more and more time at Hellsgate, their stuff, their voices, there presence began to dwindle from the village, until one day they were gone. as spider trained under tsu'tey the kids became more and more used to his presence, and clung to him more and more each day. something was wrong, so wrong, and he couldn't put his finger on it.

then he talked to norm, who claimed they had 'aged out' of his care, said they stopped seeing him as a dad, so he let them go on with their own lives. he assumed they were fine, and not wanting to overstep as the 'second' parent.

he talked to the siblings, hoping, praying, that somehow, someway, what they were going to say would fix this, make this normal. it didn't. when they took on spider, and norm didn't take him in as his own, didn't try, even when he knows the poor thing needed it. when norm rejected spider, the twins rejected him, and set out to be parents to their two younger siblings.

after that, he slowly built a relationship with the kids, inviting them to stay with him and spider (he stayed with him once a week), sleeping their hammock, eat meals with them, join them for lessons. eventually he works them back into the village, not completely, norm may not be there home, but the lab was, and spider couldn't stay out in the village every night, it was too dangerous. but he did make them feel like they had a place, a home, someone to love them and take care of them and their fragile baby brother.

he has a bone to pick with the people of hellsgate by the end of his little discovery and attempts to mend the damage of said discovery, but, at the end of the day he had 4 kids instead of one, a little family to call his own, and he got introduced to digital media, which movie nights are a win in his mind. cause listen, he is disabled, stressed out with jake and all the other adults being stupid, and 4, wildly smart and energetic kids. having a time where he can lay out and relax in a pillow fort, with his kids in his arms, watching some shitty (amazing, cause the siblings have amazing taste) human movies, that sounds pretty nice to him.

me: so what do you want to watch tonight?

my sister: eh something fun and with not too much plot or angst. How about that How to Train Your Dragon tv show you talk about? Race to the Edge, right?

me, vibrating with excitement: yeah that sounds good

[dragonmasterhiccup]

"Can we go visit the Hidden World?" The five year old looked up at her father with wide, hopeful eyes.

He pressed his lips together, shaking his head slightly. "Zeph, the Hidden World isn't meant for us. Those dragons don't know us, they'd see us as a threat. It's too dangerous." He paused, an idea coming to mind.

He gave her a grin. "Come on, I know a place you'd love to see!"

Httyd + Tumblr

[insanity-laughs-under-pressure]

I watched HTTYD2 again yesterday and was once again emotionally destroyed by Stoic and Valka's reunion, then obviously my first thought was, what if Crowley and Aziraphale reunite like this? It would be crazy. Imagine Aziraphale singing a nightingale sang in Berkley square as a way to win back Crowley.

[rosiethedragongeek]

Okay so if I'm not mistaken, RTTE was meant to end after four seasons, and got greenlit for a final two seasons later, right? And they obviously had to come up with a final story arc to close it off.

Meaning Johann wasn't meant to be evil for the first four seasons, they just looked at it and realized that basically every single episode since his FIRST EPISODE IN RIDERS OF BERK (dragon flower where he sells Mildew the blue oleander (which is poisonous to dragons)), Johann could potentially have been up to something nefarious and realized that they'd ACCIDENTALLY set up for the biggest, longest building plot twist in the entire franchise like,,,, on. ACCIDENT.
