Who Took Over the Grimborn Tribe After Viggo’s and Ryker’s Deaths? (RTTE)

So here’s been something that’s been nagging me throughout this series. Who led the Dragon Hunters after Viggo’s death? I mean, Viggo could’ve not been dead and gone back to his home island and ruled his Tribe (which is an entirely different discussion of which I will get into in another article), or Ryker could’ve not drowned or got eaten by that Submaripper sea-dragon, which means that either of them could’ve regained control of their Hunters.

But there’s a scene that’s been on my mind throughout the franchise that has me thinking that it’s not the case:

Dagur: “Completely expendable, all three of them. Including Lars #2.”

Ryker: “Lars #2 is my cousin!”

Dagur: “Oh, well, isn’t that a great show of family support? Things get a little sticky, and old Cousin Lars leaves us with our swords in our hands!”

Yes, Lars the Second! Now, clearly, it says Lars Number 2, not that he’s the Second, buuuut since we have practically zilch backstory on the Grimborn family, it’s a toss-up. So it’s honestly up to you guys whether he’s Lars the First or Lars the Second. Hehe. ^_^

Anyways, I digress. So who would rule/inherit the Grimborn Tribe and the Dragon Hunter fleets (or any that remain) after the deaths(?) of the Grimborn brothers? Well... excluding any family members that we don’t know of, I believe Lars #2 would be the best candidate for this — assuming, of course, that he wasn’t executed after deserting, or got killed by a dragon.

So, assuming that Lars #2 didn’t get executed or killed by man or beast or sea or sickness (etc), it’s my belief — and headcanon — that Lars #2 managed to escape back to Grimborn Island (my name for their home island) and took over command.

Since it appears that where the Dragon Hunters were originally at in the Archipelago is a great distance from their home island, it would probably be fairly easy to gain control of the clan on the home island without fear of retribution since the Grimborn brothers were busy elsewhere with a certain group of Dragon Riders *wink, wink*.

Of course, this is assuming that they even have a home island in the first place and aren’t coastal/nautical nomads to begin with. At which case, if it was the latter, then perhaps he stayed hidden until he heard word of their defeat, and then when the enemy left, he ended up gathering the remnants of the Hunters and possibly left from the Archipelago, since we don’t really see them again by HTTYD 2 (though they could’ve simply gotten absorbed by Drago’s army).

So what do you think? Who led the Hunters after the Grimborns’ deaths? Was it Lars #2? Was it someone else? Or do you think it was Viggo or Ryker? I’d love to hear your thoughts! ^_^

Thank you very much for reading! Hope you have a great day!

Long Live the Night!

What if Hicctrid had Zephyr wayyy early ?

[hijacksecrets]

Concept: Sorcerer’s Apprentice AU where the setting is aaaalmost the same (Stoic n Valka are Merlin’s apprentices, Viggo is the traitor—and how can he not be in the same role as Horvath when they’re literally the same actor LOL—Valka sacrifices herself to help seal Morgana in the Grimhold like in the movie).

The twist is that the Prime Merlinian is their son and kidnapped from a young age. Viggo, intending to try to steal Hiccup’s power for himself (and keeps him in a state of suspended animation as he does his research), is unsuccessful for centuries until at last he realizes his quest is impossible so he does the next best thing: raise Hiccup as his own so he can control him.

A. I really just like the idea of how it might be if Viggo raised Hiccup and it was a father/son n mentor dynamic between them

B. If you couldn’t tell Viggo is my new favorite character and I’m taking every chance I can to draw him LOL

He’s just got an interesting face to draw and a compelling character to me yk, I’d like to explore more things with him.

(Don’t worry, next post about this AU will have more Hiccup n Jack stuff xD )

So I decided to rewatch RTTE because I felt like indulging in some childhood nostalgia. A few things to note:

- Snotlout and Fishlegs are dating. Good for them.

- The twins are the best characters. Still don't know wtf a boar pit is.

- I know those are supposed to be dragon scales on Ryker's shoulder and arm pads but they look like turtle shells I'm sorry--

- Actually good disability rep?? Hello??

- Hiccup how tf are you still alive?

- "Toothle plama bla" is perhaps the funniest thing in any piece of media ever.

- On the subject of Gruffnut: There's another one???

- How does Tuffnut know so many languages? Did these languages exist in this time period? If so who taught him? Is Tuffnut Odin in disguise? Would that make Ruffnut Loki?

- Hiccup is AuDHD. No I will not be taking comments at this time.

- Where tf did Hiccup get his dragon blade in midnight scrum? Why did he not use it to free himself or fend off his attackers? Also, on the subject of midnight scrum, how is this boy's neck not broken??

- I stan one (1) Heather the Unhinged. Go off queen. Feral bastard child.

- Ruffnut is actually super smart?? And cool?? What??

- I did not watch the series before this one so Dagur's entrance confused me so much at first. Who is this man and why does his beard look like that?? Please shave.

- Gonna punch Snotlout's dad. Gonna kick his fucking ass.

- Why is Viggo so aggressively British? And why is his brother Scottish? Come to think of it, there is no consistency in any of the accents.

- Sir, that is not a dragon, that is a Pokémon (you know exactly which dragon I'm talking about don't pretend you don't know)

I’m making a silly power point for a college event, I think you guys will like what I have so far

Am I putting in more effort than I should? Probably.

Only me thinking Strickler and Viggo would get along well?

My Favorite Characters from the entire franchise

[theroomfloor]

I found this chart on Twitter, I decided to translate it and do it with the rtte characters.

these are my hcs of each one's cooking skills. Agree?

[hijacksecrets]

On my second watch through of Race to the Edge, and man, could you imagine if we'd gotten a villain like Viggo instead of Drago in HTTYD2? Like, instead of this big dumb brute who just wants power (that essentially is no different than the other types of vikings that Hiccup deals with every day), if Hiccup actually had an intellectual opponent who gave him a run for his money (and hell, maybe even some moral challenges?)

(don't talk to me about Grimmel, i know technically he was like that but Hiccup had 0 braincells in httyd3 and just overall this household is a zero httyd3 tolerance household, thank you. Also Viggo has way more charisma than Grimmel)

RTTE has its faults but overall the good moments in the show are REALLY good, and I love how they did Viggo - I just wish he were in something with a higher budget T0T

pushing my big boobie dagur agenda

[dragonnnfly]

The gang’s names are under-appreciated, not just because they are amazing, but for the comedy potential.

They’re out here being named, Snotlout? Fishlegs? Ruffnut? Tuffnut? Hiccup?

While everyone else has normal names like Viggo, Ryker, Dagur, Heather, Johann, Drago, Mala and so on!

Can. You. Imagine. Being a villain, fighting these teenagers, being defeated, and utterly impressed, and then you ask for their names, thinking it’ll be something amazing like TORMOD THE GREAT, and then it’s… Fishlegs????? Fishlegs Justin Ingerman??

And the leader is HICCup? UHH???!! And his deadly beast is Toothless? Like, “NO??? No no no, I see teeth”
