What's it like being cousins, Hiccup and Snotlout?

Snotlout has a tendency to force himself into situations that don't involve him and if there isn't a problem, he'll make one. He's stubborn and antagonizes us all a lot. It was the same for me when we were kids. Although now I guess... we do get along better and he's good at telling me what I do wrong. Shame he can't do that for himself. He started it when we were five, anyways. -Hiccup

Hiccup is obnoxious and pretentious. He thinks he's so smart. I mean, sure, he is but he's not great at listening to anyone that isn't him. I have great ideas and can tell him EXACTLY what he's doing wrong but he never listens to me. Although we... get along fine overall and I would maybe punch someone for him. Maybe. I dunno. He says I started it when we were five but I think that's horseshit. -Snotlout

I have nonexistent spoons and I haven't been able to do anything substantial, but here's a quick Vigcup dood I totally did not start during work to show I am still alive~

You’ve said that Bill can purr, although it very very rarely happens. But what about demon!Dipper purring?

I am always in favor of nonhuman beings being able to purr! And Demon Dip purring, well. You know Bill's wringing that out of him every chance he gets.

And for some more angst I know you love...

Have you you considered how Hiccup isn't actually an uncommon name. While the books focus on the unique stories of the three Hiccups and how interconnected they are, there are still all those named Hiccup by the Naming Dame and left/sent out to sea to die.

Are they just as connected? How many dragons are there with scars on their chest but no Hiccup? How many parents felt the temptation to keep their Hiccup, a decision that would change history?

Do dogs in your au ever bark or yip? Or do they mostly just talk like normal? :0

They mostly talk like normal, but sometimes some additional dog vocalizations slip in. I think unabashed barking or howling would be a little too obvious, but they might snarl a bit when angry, or maybe speak in a snarly tone, and unintentionally whine and whimper when they're sad, scared or in pain and so on. The canine sounds are more instinctual than spoken language and pups that are only learning to talk use them more than grown adults. In some circles they're considered somewhat uncivilized and people might think you're rude or not in control of your emotions if you're acting uninhibitedly doggish.

Season seven ending. Trust.

My first comic-ish thing, where continuity is optional! (seriously I spent so long trying to make them look at least somewhat the same across three panels)

I have an idea for a fic to go with this but it probably wouldn't have been finished before S7, so I'll just post this now. Uhhh... have a nice day!

🌼 media: how to train your dragon 1, 2 & 3

🐝 age appropriate? yes! all three movies are rated PG in most countries and aside from some fantasy violence it's quite a tame series - if you love dragons it's a must watch!!

🍯 rqd by: anon! <3

🌻 note: making this board reminded me that hiccups full name is hiccup horrendous haddock III and that's so fun to me, i love this series so muchhh

and omg theres a toothless build a bear (i have a bab obsession...)

[askthedragonriders]

This one is for Hiccup and Toothless mainly, but the other dragons can answer too!

What's the biggest conflict between you and your dragon and how do you guys work together to overcome it??

We focus on how we communicate in our ways (human versus dragon) and just take the time to learn each other's language. It's much harder than it seems but it's worth it. (Luckily Toothless and I rarely have conflicts at all) -Hiccup

[saturnniidae]

How am I meant to think Hiccup doesn't have self destructive tendencies when he canoncially never fucking takes his prosthetic foot off to, at the very least, go to sleep

[countlessofvoids]

what's interesting about hiccup's character that you never see people talk about? as someone who likes him, i also get annoyed by how the fandom sees him and i prefer him in the first movie over everything else.

A lot of things honestly. I have a hard time naming them individualy lmao.

I feel like people tend to take parts of Hiccup's character they like, then mold him into something imitating Hiccup. I see a lot of interpretations where his sarcasm takes up 90% of his personality and/or his entire motivation is saving dragons and killing people as some kind of vigilante. Another thing popular in this fandom that annoys me is taking other characters' traits and giving those to Hiccup.

But what I believe mainly gets ignored, or rather purposefully removed, is him being a 'peacekeeper'. Now, I can't exactly blame anyone for doing this, because continuations after the second movie either ;

1) Completly forget it was a thing.

Or 2) The Narrative actively shames him for it, or turns it into something else. This goes for THW — where it's treated as a flaw of Hiccup's character, then reduced to him "being afraid of change" (And circles back to the whole "Humans bad, Dragons good" message of THW, I could go on about this topic for hours).

The source material itself is not interested in exploring it.

This also happens partialy because fans think peacekeeper means someone who has no understanding of how conflicts work and expects everyone to drop their weapons to go frolic in the fields together. Hiccup gets criticized for trying to find another way, when he has a reason to believe he can change people. I mean, he changed the entirety of Berk. Yes, pursuing Drago Bludvist so you can convince him to join your side when everyone who has more experience with the warlord tells you not to, is not the best decision. But Hiccup is young, he's bound to make mistakes. Besides, events wouldn't alter too much if he did otherwise.

Which is a bit disappointing. I think it could fit with the theme of him being different from everyone else; Looking for a peaceful solution when others want to destroy each other. Another reason why I find this concept intriguing is because I see Hiccup as someone who struggles a bit when it comes to sympathizing with humans, especially hunters. Not as in he intentionaly hates them — he just spent his life befriending animals & dragons instead of people, so now he's spiteful especially towards humans who hurt them. I like to think he still holds even a tiny bit of spite towards Berkians and his enemies-turned-allies (not with Stoick & Valka though, it's complicated with them).

As for why I personaly don't like him in most iterations after the first movie: He's just kinda boring. He goes from a sarcastic loner who ultimately wants to be accepted by others, to 'young movie male protagonist n.1235'. Huge part of that comes from what was done with his design. Second movie!Hiccup has started to grow on me lately. I couldn't care less about RTTE!Hiccup. THW!Hiccup was on the right path, but they chose the worst and most contradictory way of doing it. It could also be the fact he loses relatability for me.

Bad (thinking about what he learned about perks and buffs today): So, Nirvana, has someone explained it to you?

Opinions on Fishlegs x Hiccup

I mean I see hiccup as aroace. I personally am not gonna draw him in a romantic relationship with anyone. I’m not against people shipping fishlegs and hiccup but I’m personally not going down that route. I think their platonic love for each other is really heartwarming and important to showcase. I feel like theyre more than just friends but their relationship could never be considered romantic. To fishlegs, hiccup is everything. Hiccup raised fishlegs, he took care of him, they have been together the entirety of each others lives and they are endlessly loyal to each other. And for hiccup, for the longest time, fishlegs was his only friend and the only one willing to fully accept everything about him without question. I think they share a bond that can’t quite be described, I think they love and care for each other in a familial way and through their codependency.

I could talk on and on about them but to answer the question, it’s cute and I’m not against it but it’s not how I personally see the characters or their relationship and as such I won’t be intentionally depicting them that way

I hope what I’m saying makes sense and was a satisfactory answer

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

(Fairy au) I'm starting to wonder if the fairies can get the hiccups, I don't even know why this was just a random thought/question that came to my head

They can and do! Just like humans can.

Depending on their current moods it can either be quite silly or quite annoying X3c
