“You expect us to believe that a frozen viking punched you in the face?”
“Twice”
“Hey, it could happen”
“You know, legend says-”
“You know what legend also says? Shut up”
“It’s sad when they get old”
“Gobber! Take off your pants!”
“Oh, this tailbone is hurting my tailbone”
I LOVE LEGEND OF THE BONEKNAPPER SO MUCH PLEASE

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)

Wait, the Boneknapper isn’t canon anymore? Since when?
Yep, a couple years ago Richard Hamilton straight up said it wasn't "officially canon" on Twitter.

Personally I don't really care about what's actually "canon" anymore (the last official HTTYD thing I truly enjoyed was like...HTTYD 2) but it sucks that we probably won't see the Boneknapper in anything official ever again. :/

Hello, good time of day! Sorry if I'm distracting you! Can I request some Yandere Big Mom Pirates with Female dragon leader Reader? Romantic Yandere Katakuri and with Yandere Platonic Big Mom, Pudding, and others . With the help of Pudding's powers, they learn y/n's backstory from her memories. How she learned to hold a fire sword in her hands and handle it, how she made herself armor from dragon scales, how she earned the trust of dragons, her diligent training tirelessly, her scars and memories of how she got them, how she smashed dragon hunter fleets and freed dragons from cages (I decided to make this request after reading your reader Tanjiro, the character is exactly the same, she is also kind in a motherly way and helps everyone) She resembles like a mix of Hiccup and Valka from httyd, she also has a fire sword, dragon armor and staff, she is kind and compassionate to dragons, can tame and earn the trust of any dragon. has 3 main dragons: Stormcutter, Triple Strike, Song of Death and the baby Deathgripper she recently rescued (She carries him in a special compartment in her armor that looks like a mama kangaroo bag. Like the fishleg in part 3 httyd). She is very calm, kind and peaceful, she prefers to solve all conflicts in peace without violence. But if someone threatens what she holds dear, she will defend it with teeth and claws.Katakuri found her barely alive on the shore and when he wanted to approach her, her four dragons jump out at him and begin to protect her, he calmly tells the dragons that he wants to help her and the dragons understand him and let through. The reader is very much like Mother caramel, so the Big Mom is also very attached to her.As soon as she gets more or less on her feet, she almost immediately wants to go on a journey to find more dragons. Since if she was able to get into their world with the dragons, then it means that other dragons could get here. Under persuasion, she agrees to take some family members with her, but first she has to teach them how to handle dragons and how to tame themThis is my guess, but still. I think these dragons would suit the Charlotte family
Katakuri - Screaming Death
Smoothie - The Queen of Fireworms
Oven - Monstrous nightmares
Daifuku - Singetail
Cracker - Boneknapper
Brulee - Silver phantom
Pudding - Changewing
She is constantly followed by children, she is not against it, as she herself says, children are my most important weakness. She often tells them about dragons and shows them a book with all the dragons. And she also teaches them some things, such as determining the path by the stars, taming dragons, sign language, morse code, and she also tells them legends and stories from her life
When she first saw Katakuri's mouth, she said she didn't see anything disgusting in it, on the contrary, she admired his mouth and the sharpness of his teeth.
I apologize to you if you felt a sense of shame while reading my request. And I apologize for the mistakes in the text, English is not my native language
-Katakuri didn’t know what to make of the maiden he found on the beach, wearing unusual armor made of leather and what looked to be scales, a sword nearby, barely clinging to life.
-When he went to approach, investigating, he was not expecting four dragons to suddenly rush to her side, putting themselves between the mochi man and their master, fangs bared and growls rumbling in their throats.
-While stunned, he could quickly tell that this maiden had a connection to these dragons, one that they could possibly use to grow not only the Big Mom Pirate crew’s power, but the whole Charlotte Family’s power as well.
-He kneeled, as he knew he needed to get to you, but to get to you, he needed these dragons to back off to get to you and get you the treatment you needed.
-Katakuri spent two hours working with these dragons, and while not completely trusting him, they allowed him to pick you up and take you back to the main house on Whole Cake Island, with them following after.
-Big Mom was stunned, seeing the dragons, asking her 2nd eldest son about them, but he didn’t know much, other than they were very protective of you.
-You were small compared to her son, but she could tell that you were stronger than you looked, and she agreed to the treatment, calling Pudding in as well, so maybe they could get a feel of who you were.
-It was four days later when you finally woke up, and your baby Deathgripper was instantly in your face, licking you all over which made you chuckle softly before your Song of Death picked the baby up by the back of it’s neck, pulling it off of you.
-The woman sitting beside you surprised you by greeting you, “Good morning Y/N! I’m so happy you’re finally awake!” you were confused about how she knew your name, as you had never met her before.
-She introduced herself as Pudding, and after helping you sit up, she took her seat and explained how her big brother, Katakuri, saved you when he found you unconscious by the shoreline with your four dragons.
-You were so kind and polite, asking her questions and answering her own questions, not realizing they knew a lot about you, thanks to Pudding’s gift, which she admitted she used on you, as they wanted to get information about what happened to you.
-While in awe over her ability, you weren’t really bothered, as their intentions were honest, but not completely at the time, which you were unaware of.
-Only after seeing how kindhearted and gentle you were with others, even dragons ten times your size, treating them with so much respect, but also fiercely protective against those who would do the ones you love any harm, meeting them with your sword and teeth bared, Big Mom had actually started to cry, seeing that you were so like Mother Caramel.
-You were welcomed into the Charlotte Family instantly, and they provided you with a home, a safe place to live, which warmed your heart.
-You became known as The Dragon Lady around Whole Cake Island, and your dragons were happy to help others around the island, on your orders not to hurt anyone.
-You were never seen without a gaggle of children around you, holding onto your hands, learning about your dragons from them, even getting to pet them after you taught them how, and soaking up the tales and stories you knew from your home, including stories of your own past.
-The children were also excited to learn new things from you, such as sign language and morse code, learning how to talk with each other without talking, something Big Mom seemed interested in as well and you were soon teaching most of the Charlotte Family sign language, as they could use it to their advantage.
-Big Mom was very attached to you, constantly seeking you out, and you were surprised to learn that this giant and insanely powerful woman, the leader of everyone around you, looked to you for comfort, as you reminded her so much of her darling mother figure.
-Katakuri and many of her children were happy to have you around, as you could keep her calm, and you were one of the few people, when she was having a tantrum, that could calm her down.
-Once you were healed completely, allowed to rest for about a month, Big Mom asked if there were other dragons and after you confirmed there was, she wanted your help to go out and find them!
-After a lot of persuasion, that the dragons would be welcomed here, and be able to live in peace on Whole Cake Island, you agreed, researching that since you were able to come with your dragons, it was possible to bring more over from your own world, once you found the opening between the two worlds.
-However, before you could do this, those coming with you, Katakuri, Smoothie, Oven, Daifuku, Cracker, Brulee, and Pudding, would need to learn how to approach and handle dragons first, to avoid any unnecessary injuries or deaths.
-Unlike your own mentor who basically threw you straight to the wolves, or dragons, when learning about them, you taught them in the way you learned on your own, when first taming your own dragons, your first being your Stormcutter, followed by your Triple Strike.
-The key to taming dragons was three things, patience, respect, and confidence; you needed to do things on the dragon’s terms and showing them proper respect kept them and you from getting injured, and dragons could smell fear, so being confident made the dragons more relaxed.
-After a month of being gone, the day you returned with those you took to your world resulted in a massive party, one that lasted for days.
-Each one returned with their own dragon mount, as you did your research on which ones fit with each sibling, pairing them up wonderfully!
-Katakuri had a fearsome Screaming Death, while Smoothie managed to tame the Queen of Fireworms, something that you were still stunned over, while Oven had a Monstrous Nightmare, which did scare some of his younger siblings that he had to go and comfort and bring them to meet his new partner, showing them that he was nice, to those he wanted to be nice to.
-Daifuku had a Singetail and Cracker adored his darling Boneknapper, drowning it in affection which was amusing to see while Brulee was riding on a beautiful Silver Phantom, and Pudding had managed to tamer a Changewing, which was a challenge, but one she was willing to take!
-Big Mom was overjoyed, seeing so many different dragons, in awe about the different shapes and sizes and colors, praising you for helping her children.
-She was drinking deeply when she heard Pudding giggle and she looked down at her daughter before following her gaze, seeing Katakuri and you walking off together, holding hands and Big Mom’s eyes went huge before she grinned brightly, seeing the two of you together looked so good! It was time to plan a wedding!!
-Katakuri began courting you back in your world, after you saved him from his Screaming Death, before he had been able to tame it, when his scarf had fallen off and you saw his whole face.
-He was scared you would think him a monster, but you were in awe, hands at the corners of his mouth, keeping it open, “They’re so sharp and shiny! These look so healthy!” he had never had someone react in such a way, color taking over his face, feeling bashful from your praises.
-That night he brought you a flower crown he had made, hiding it from his other siblings except for Brulee, who had helped him make it, and presented it to you.
-His shyness was rather endearing, but you instantly accepted, putting it on your head, and you enjoyed teasing him lightly, when some of the others asked what was up with the flower crown and you just grinned, “I wanted to feel pretty!”
-Back on Whole Cake Island, he was more open with his courting, something many of his siblings were able to see and they all cheered him on, which made him blush and you couldn’t help but giggle, thinking he was adorable.
-You were so happy to find a new home, a place where you truly belonged.

Legend of the Boneknapper is crazy dude. It centers around Gobber and the gang going around and getting into trouble, like, I’m not sure any of the gang’s dragons are even in the short.
And the core of most HTTYD content is Hiccup and Toothless but Legend of the Boneknapper said fuck it, let’s focus on these six kids and their crazy uncle hunting a giant skeleton dragon and telling stories about hammer head whales jumping out of volcanoes and fighting said giant skeleton dragon, and dude I love it so much like

Canon
I would like to take a minute and talk about the canon of the big 4 for a bit.
March 26, 2010 How to train your dragon (Httyd)
October 14, 2010 Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (Httyd short film)
November 24, 2010 Tangled
November 15, 2011 Book of Dragons (Httyd short film)
November 15, 2011 Gift of the Night Fury (Httyd short Film)
June 22, 2012 Brave
(August 7, 2012 Riders of berk (Httyd series))
(September 4, 2012 Defenders of berk (Season 2 of Riders of berk))
November 30, 2012 Rise of the Guardians
Now when we talk Big 4 before 2014, we are talking about those four movies, or the charaters before the movies. Or in Httyd case afther the series.
June 13, 2014 Httyd 2
November 11, 2014 Dawn of the Dragon Racers (Httyd short movie)
June 26, 2015 - February 16, 2018 Race to the Edge (Httyd series playing before the 2 movie)
March 24, 2017 - March 1, 2020 Rapunzel´s Tangled Aventures (Tangled series playing before the end epiloge)
February 22, 2019 Httyd 3 the Hidden world
December 3, 2019 Httyd Homecoming (Httyd Short Movie)
 December 23, 2019 Snoggletog Log (This thing is like just a fireplace where persons and dragons go around with some good music no lore or plot whatsoever)
As we all see there is so much Httyd media, why? because it was the most success full movie of the og 4. And from what i read Httyd was always planned to be a triliogy. And the shows that came along? Well money. Brave and Guardians never got a 2nd movie or series why? Well Guardians was a flop DreamWorks actully lost 70Million, so no more Guardians content as for Brave, they just didnt do that.
So this is all the possible media that could be inside the big 4...
We have:
Brave: 1h 33m / 93m
Rise of the Guardians: 1h 37m / 97m
Tangled: 1d 7h 10m / 31h 10m / 1870m
Httyd:  2d 4h 30m / 52h 30m / 3150m
The Big 4: 3d 14h 40m / 86h 40m / 5200 minutes
Now do i say you need to watch all of those around 4 days of content to understand the big 4? Not really, most of the content is about them as a friend group and in that sense the Canon really doesnt matter that much. BUT if you see like an older version of hiccup running around in edits, fanart or something else, thats why. Now in all fairness, I have not seen all dragon content. (Please dont come after me httyd fans) I have seen the first and second movie. So if in fact the 3 movie or the shows have a real inpact on the Big 4 Story wise (while i didnt see any) please let me know.

i feel like you would love how to train your dragon
Huh? How to train your what? Ooooh, do you mean the Dreamworks 2010 movie How to Train your Dragon, directed by Dean Deblois starring Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera, including subsequent series of Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, Race to the Edge, TV specials Gift of a Night Fury, Legend of the Boneknapper and Dawn of the Dragon Racers? The one with the sequel (2014) and final film (2019) which I saw at the opening session on the opening day worldwide and had a panic attack from excitement for?
No, doesn't ring a bell.

"A destroyed house is not the reason": why did Astrid Hofferson leave the Dragon Riders team?
Warning: Good command of English has never been my strong point :(
Some were confused by Astrid's behavior in "Team Astrid". Before the release of this series, it seemed that fires and the destruction of houses for Berk's Vikings were commonplace. After all, they have been waging a war against dragons for a long time, and this caused real chaos in the village!
Yes, then came peaceful times, but do not get your hopes up – the dragons remained dragons. In TV shows and movies, we have been shown many times that since then they have not acquired grace and good manners. However, so are the Vikings themselves. 
At the beginning of the first film, Hiccup says that all the huts in the village are new, as they constantly had to be rebuilt after the attacks of dragons. So, for the Vikings, this is a familiar thing – it wouldn't be difficult for them to build a new hut. Then why did Astrid Hofferson, who has a genuine Viking mentality, get so excited about a house that has been destroyed many times? Why did she decide to leave the team of riders? I have a couple of thoughts on this.
In order to understand this, I propose to plunge into Astrid's childhood. Unfortunately, we know almost nothing about her parents. But thanks to the deleted scene, we know that Astrid got the battle axe from her mother. Also, in another deleted scene, Astrid is seen hugging her father before he sails off in search of the Dragon's Nest with other Vikings. From this we can conclude that Astrid's parents were warriors. 
"Is this some kind of joke for you? Our parents' war is about to become ours. Find out whose side you're on" (Astrid)
This suggests that Mr. and Mrs. Hofferson were very busy people – they had to defend the village from dragons (mother) and sail away on long business trips in search of a Nest (father). And, since Astrid was the only child in the family, no one else could take care of the safety of the home during the attacks. (Among Astrid's mentioned relatives there is also an aunt, Uncle Finn, grandmother and grandfather, but they were probably involved in protecting Berk from dragons like all adults. In addition, Astrid's aunt and uncle most likely had their own families and homes that also needed protection).
Thus, we can conclude that the care of the house from an early age fell on Astrid's shoulders. By "caring" I mean extinguishing fires and repair. We all remember how deftly she wielded a hammer in "Gift of the Night Fury":
Tumblr media
Do not forget that before becoming a warrior, Astrid worked in a fire brigade with other teenagers. She continued to help the tribesmen in extinguishing fires even after the end of the war with the dragons, as shown in "Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon". 
The Hoffersons' house was razed to the ground, burned to the ground by Dagur's men, and it's great luck that Astrid's parents went to the yak races. They lost a roof over their heads and they could have lost their lives. It's not that it's easy to fix, but that it shouldn't have happened at all. Since childhood, Astrid had been accustomed to the fact that protecting the house was her duty, and she believed that by flying away from the island, she had framed her parents.
One more detail – initially Astrid organized Dragon Riders' Auxiliary NOT because she understood that she could not do all the work alone. This reason was just a cover. Astrid was strict with her students not because she was a "domineering coach" and not because they were worthless. She planned to deliberately stretch out their training so that the Hofferson house would be under her watchful eye for as long as possible. And only in the end did she realize that the A-team could really be trusted, that she would not be able to "be in charge" for the rest of her days.
One of the most important advantages of Astrid Hofferson is her amazing sense of duty. She is ready to make many sacrifices for the sake of her family and what is dear to her. Despite the fact that over time Astrid learned to trust people and became less ruthless to herself, she will forever remain the first defender of the Hofferson house and its main mistress.
