Did Astrid Inherit Stoick's Axe? (HTTYD 3 Theory)

Hello, everyone! Today we'll dive into another HTTYD 3 topic that's been on my mind for a while now.

It's after I saw this ax.

Like, this seriously surprised me when I first watched this. I was already used to her usual ax, so I thought it'd just be her ax — a gift from Hiccup after losing her other one at the end of RTTE — that she normally fights with, like here. 👇🏻

In the beginning, when the Riders go for one of their many raids to free dragons, we see Astrid fighting with her normal ax.

But in much of the film, we see her using the ax that suspiciously looks like Stoick's ax.

At first, I had thought she was using Hunter axes, but she's been using that ax throughout her fights with the remnants of Drago's minions.

Another example is the scene down below, during their final battle against their foes, we see Astrid with that ax again.

This is seriously making me think that this is Stoick's ax that she inherited, having switched her old ax for his! 👀 Which would be so cool and so touchingly wholesome. 😭

Of course, another option is that she just has another ax on standby made in likeness of Stoick's ax thanks to Gobber. 🤷‍♂️

But I actually really like the idea of Astrid inheriting the ax of her father-in-law. I think it's super wholesome. 🥰😭

What do you guys think? Do you find the theory plausible?

Long Live the Night!

The httyd-live action

I know Dean DeBlois will do again a good job as Director, as he did with the original animated trilogy. But I think I will not watch it, maybe I could change my mind but I don’t think so. I just didn’t need it in the first place and I still don’t understand why it’s necessary. It feels for me personally as Universal just wants to milk out such a fantastic franchise, that didn’t need a Remake to begin with. I rather watch JW: Chaos Theory, Flow or the Wild Robot again. I don’t know something about the thought that httyd will get a remake doesn’t stick with me that much. Maybe because httyd has already really good animation, so good, it even looks in some scenes like live action.

I know some people like the idea of a series setting within in the second and third movie. I personally also don’t need that either. I kind of like the idea but I think it has to be written and directed by the two guys who produced Chaos Theory and Camp Cretaceous. We have to give them credit, they brought back the Jurassic Park feeling in Jurassic World something Colin Treverrow failed to do, even if it his trilogy is good. And really scored with it in Chaos Theory. I honestly would really enjoy a series that would fit more to the tone of chaos theory, I would even say it would be better than Rtte and Riders/Defenders together.

the round table from httyd 1 was replaced by a regular one in httyd 3

like, Stoick's rule was depicted to be more democratic in nature than Hiccup's, more like in Athens or Novgorod. Hiccup on the other hand is shown to hold council only with those few chosen ones and then just announce everything to his subjects. yes, subjects, because here we can see an early form of monarchy. i don't know what motivated them to evolve their political status. maybe, the sheer amount of people and dragons, that would be nearly impossible to manage with the older form of government. who knows.

but just imagine what crisis is waiting for them. they still all dine in the main hall, as if they are still equal - but they're not. the chief is further and further away from the Hooligans, and they notice that, but he's still treated like equal - which he isn't. it's like witnessing a transition of Roman republic to Roman empire (a bit of a stretch, but you get my point)

How To Train Your Dragon Theory

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Okay so you know how in HTTYD Race to the Edge in the finale??? When Johann (Yoh-han) like gets frozen by the Bewilderbeast (aka the king of all dragons in HTTYD 2′s mother) What if he didn’t die??? What if he just got frozen and then some time in the future he unfroze and was alive and super confused. 

What if that was the case? What if he did come back? What would happen? I’m hoping it was before HTTYD The hidden world so he comes back and there is still dragons around and some plot could happen. I mean if the creators wanted to go with this and make another spin off series I would not be complaining. OR since that new-ish show came out I think it’s called the Nine Realms? Maybe he comes back in that show. Though That does seem less likely. 

Idk I think this is a cool theory that popped in my brain randomly Anyone have any thoughts on this??

[bisexuallsokka]

jo. bestie. hi. i’m holding your hands and asking u to please if u want deal us all permanent psychic damage with “you’re just as beautiful as the day i lost you” (the httyd divorced zukka agenda has to continue and nobody can do it as well as u <3)

Sokka had spent the entire journey to the Fire Nation imagining himself being so overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of Zuko that, decorum be damned, he would run into his arms as soon as they made eye contact.

The sting of disappointment he felt when he realized that Zuko wasn't even there to greet him and Katara was enough to extinguish most of the excitement he had felt and make him second-guess everything about this trip. It was odd enough that after over a decade of being broken up they had rekindled their relationship over letters, what would it be like when they saw each other in person for the first time in years? Did they only know how to be in love again in theory? Was Zuko truly ready to leave the throne and his home in a few months and start a life with Sokka?

He's hiding out on some balcony that the two of them frequented in his Ambassador days, and he jumps when he hears the door open behind him. It's probably Katara telling him to stop moping, and he's about to tell her that he just needs a minute when he sees Zuko there, giving him a tentative smile.

"Hey," he says.

"Hi," Sokka says, the corner of his mouth twitching in amusement.

"Sorry about," Zuko gestures, and Sokka knows what he means.

"I get it. You're a busy guy," Sokka says.

That makes Zuko frown, and he walks over and takes a seat on the bench next to him. "Not too busy for you," he says. Which, historically, is kind of a lie, but Sokka appreciates the sentiment all the same. Especially since soon, they won't have to worry about the Fire Lord nonsense ever again.

Zuko seems to be thinking the same thing. "For what it's worth, it wasn't 'official business' keeping me away again," he clarifies. "Izumi was getting a little overwhelmed with everything going on to get ready for the party, and I spent longer in the garden with her than I realized. She's with Uncle, now."

Sokka softens at that, his doubts slowly starting to fade away. "That's understandable."

"Thanks for coming all the way here," Zuko says quickly. "It means a lot and it...it's really good to see you."

The sincerity in his tone is a little overwhelming. "Wouldn't miss it for the world," Sokka says, despite having missed the last ten or so of Zuko's birthday celebrations.

It makes Zuko smile, though, which Sokka relaxes at the sight of.

"You look good," Sokka says, smiling back.

"You look..." Zuko trails off, a strange expression on his face as he just keeps staring at Sokka.

"What?" Sokka asks suspiciously. "Is there something on my face?"

"You're just as beautiful as the day I lost you," Zuko says, so softly Sokka might have missed it had he not been hanging onto every word from those lips.

"I..." Sokka says, feeling speechless for once as heat rises in his cheeks. "That's...great, thank you."

As soon as the words leave his mouth he groans, putting his head in his hands as Zuko laughs loudly at him.

"You can't just say things like that," Sokka complains, even if he can't stop smiling.

"I can and I will, especially if that is the kind of reaction I can expect," Zuko teases. Sokka looks over at him and feels his cheeks flushing again at the soft look on Zuko's face.

Sokka takes a shaky breath, calling upon every ounce of bravery he's ever possessed to help him reach for Zuko's hand. "Twelve years?" he asks, giving it a squeeze.

"Twelve years," Zuko confirms, squeezing back. “It’s not that I haven’t seen you that whole time. I just…never let myself really look.”

Sokka nods. “You’re sure this is what you want?”

Zuko raises his eyebrow. "I've started packing."

Sokka rolls his eyes and shoves Zuko's shoulder with his own. "Oh, so romantic, run away with me just because you're already packing."

Zuko laughs again, and Sokka feels lightheaded. He's not going to get used to constantly hearing that sound anytime soon.

“I've had all this time to think about it, and my answer is still the same," Zuko tells him seriously. "This is best for the Fire Nation, best for us. Are you sure, though? Six year olds are pretty crazy.”

“Raising a kid with you?" Sokka asks. "That's all I've ever wanted. Craziness and all."

The way Zuko looks at Sokka erases any of the doubts, the questions, the worries Sokka had about this. About them. After the years of heartbreak and separation, Sokka knows that's behind them, and the future looks much brighter.

For anyone who might be hesitant on fantasy AUs within fanfiction, I encourage you to give it a try! It's just our favorite boys falling in love again, but there might be magic or dragons (or both!) involved.

Really, fantasy is a story that's in a setting that allows your imagination to run wild. It breaks norms of reality and adds possibilities. Underneath it all is a familiar story of love and finding each other.

If you need some places to start, under the cut is a bunch of my favorite Piarles fantasy fics:

every broken piece of me (belongs to you) by @your-littlesecret (Explicit | 45k) - Jully's Fae!Pierre. An absolute marvel of worldbuilding. I adore this interpretation of the world of the Fae and the courts and everything in between. The details are gorgeous and the slow build of the relationship is so delicious. And there's a dragon. (It's Jully...of course there's a dragon!)

you are perfection, my only direction (it's fire on fire) by @singsweetmelodies (Explicit | 40k) - Katie's dragon riders AU! This fic is the epitome of we're-both-in-love-with-each-other-but-too-scared-to-admit-it. Arranged marriage and politics and they're both pining for each other the whole time while flying on their dragons. It's beautiful and hot and features meddlesome Sewis which I adore.

and it's coming closer by @wolfiemcwolferson (Explicit | 84k) - Logan's Werewolfierre fic! (what the fuck, it's 84k???) It's Logan, so nobody gets to be surprised when there's themes of loss and grief and found family here. It's one of those fics where the audience knows exactly what's happening and seeing Charles come to a slow understanding is beautifully done.

dragonheart by @duquesademiel (General | 2.1k) - sol's little bite-sized glimpse into an Eragon!AU. This fic captures so much worldbuilding and setup and establishing relationships in 2k words and I am eagerly camped out for the day when sol wants to add more to this universe.

hold your hand in mine (starlights in your eyes) by @your-littlesecret (Mature | 20k) - Jully's How To Train Your Dragon AU! It's so sweet and there's action and shenanigans and I am just a sucker for anything HTTYD. Honestly? Dragons. Need I say more??

miles away from places you have been by @wolfiemcwolferson (Explicit | 36k) - Logan's Vampierre! The air of mystery in this fic is incredible. Logan manages to capture that feeling of something being off and when it hits, it hits HARD. There's angst, there's tragedy, there's hope, and there's love. (And magic and vampires.)

e forse il mare è dentro di lui by @duquesademiel (Teen | 24k) - If the ocean was a character. There's magic and mystery and it's stunning how everything comes together. I love all the characters and how relentless Charles is in attempting to figure out what the fuck is happening on this island.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

And, this is my blog, so I'm allowed to self-rec my own fantasy:

By the Grace of Magic and Flames (Teen | 54k) - The collab Jully and I wrote in 3 weeks. Dragon Rider!Charles and Witch!Pierre. Featuring sassy familiars and learning magic and so much pining. We honestly went insane over this and it's incredible.

A Nymph's Heart (Series | Teen | 46k) - My Nymph!Pierre & Violinist!Charles series. A small glade in the woods provides an excellent spot for Charles to practice his music, and there's an intriguing magical creature that lives there. They go to the Feywild in Part 2 and the way that magic works there is some of my best & favorite worldbuilding.

Bittersweet, That Glitter (Teen | 23k) - Dragon!Pierre & Potions Apprentice!Charles. Pierre is a shape-shifting dragon who finds his soulmate in a tiny village. Charles convinces him to stay and teach him magic and potions brewing, all while Pierre is trying to conceal his true identity as a dragon. I spent way too much time on potions brewing theory and I want to live in this world.

Our Love Is Not Illusion Based (Teen | 3k) - Another little bite-sized piece of magic where Pierre is a witch and Charles refuses to leave his side despite the stigma against witches. It's sweet with just a touch of angst and I'm so happy with how much I managed to pack into a short fic here.

The Boy With the Storm-Colored Eyes (Teen | 31k) - Mermaid!Charles!!! This is the first fic I ever posted to AO3/F1 RPF and it holds such a special place in my heart. I love naϊve Charles as a mermaid and surfer/scientist Pierre who is immediately besotted. The action and the drama is so good and the resolution is somehow angstier? I love this world and I love how they're drawn to each other despite everything in the way.

Facts about

✨Komodo dragons✨

It may surprise you, but Komodo dragons aren’t dragons. (Big surprise)

They’re only the biggest lizard that can grow up to 3 meters long (10ft), can weigh up to 70 kg, can run up to 20 kilometres per hour and can live up to 30 years. It takes them 8 to 9 years to fully mature, which is quite long for animals if you ask me.

They’re also highly venomous. They used to think that this was because of various bacteria in it’s mouth, but that theory was proven wrong by the University of Queensland. The people now say that their venom is similar to that of a snake.

They only/mostly eat meat. They kill their prey by biting down hard and shaking violently, ripping off flesh and muscles causing extreme blood loss and shock. They also have an excellent smell which comes in handy when hunting. They use their tongue to smell. They can smell a rotting prey from 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) away! Though their eyesight and hearing are less impressive.

They’re tail is (almost) as long as their body. They can also use their tail as weapon. (It’s strong enough to take down a deer!)

Komodo dragons use their tail to scare prey by swinging it around. They also use it she they are scared themself.

Fun fact, they can also swim! They have been spotted as far as miles off the shore! Why do I say shore? Because they only live on 5 Indonesian islands. One of these islands has been given the name ‘Komodo island’.

Some people are also saying that Komodo’s might originate from Australia. This is because they have found fossils of big lizards from 300.000 to 4 million years ago!

A fun facts is that Komodo dragons can produce asexually! The female Komodo dragons have both male and female sex chromosomes. If you want to research more about this, you can search up ‘parthenogenesis’ because that is what it was called.

Also, look at the little baby

Cute right?

Yea.

Another fun fact, (yes, there is more) they have shark like teeth! They have 60 teeth in total, tge most of all lizards and reptiles. Now, if you look at their mouth, you’ll probably not see them. This is because their gums are so thick. Don’t be fooled though! They definitely are there. Just think of it like toothless from httyd.

They are also very playful! They have been observed to play with shoes, shovels and frisbees. They also like to play tug of war.

And this was all! Have a nice day :D

Movie Recs In Honor of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

I decided to write out a list of movies to watch in honor of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes coming out very soon. This list will feature movies with apes besides the POTA movies, or movies with weird and bizarre friendships/found families.

The Original Planet of the Apes Franchise (1968-1973, Amazon Prime)

Honestly, I've only watched the 1968 movie a handful of times. I decided to watch all of the original franchise leading up to the release of Kingdom. They're all a lot of fun, with social/political commentaries at the time of each film. If you're a movie collector, or like behind-the-scenes/director's commentaries, I highly recommend buying the Blu Ray compilation pack.

2. Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes (2001, Disney+ or Amazon Prime)

I know, hear me out. Yes, it's over-hated, and yes, there was A LOT of potential for this movie. There were definitely too many "cooks in the kitchen" when drafting this movie. Imho, I think it's a guilty pleasure, popcorn movie. If you're a fan of makeup effects, Rick Baker (THE modern makeup effects master) does an absolutely phenomenal job with the designs of the apes in this movie (and check out his Instagram too). I do like the production and the ape costume designs for this film as well.

Tim Roth and Paul Giamatti are such a blast in this movie, too!

And the posters for this movie look so cool.

3. Planet of the Apes Reboot Trilogy (2011-2017, Amazon Prime)

I think this is what the 2001 movie should have been, and was trying to go for. While the three movies did make their money back at the box office, I have two theories why they almost went under everyone's radar (again, this is my opinion):

A. Because of the mixed reception from the 2001 movie.

B. Because of the abundance of comic book & remake movies coming out during the 2011-2017 years.

I put this trilogy right up with the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The storytelling is great, the special effects hold up well, and this reboot's version of Caesar has became one of my favorite main characters in modern film.

4. Mighty Joe Young (1998 remake, Disney+)

I don't know why this movie doesn't get talked about that much. Rick Baker, once again, does incredible work on the special effects for Joe. There's also a great musical score by James Horner. And Bill Paxton and Charlize Theron give amazing acting performances. And I think it's actually one of the better remakes that came out from the late 1990s.

In fact, the team that worked on the 1933 King Kong also made the 1949 film. Even Robert Armstrong (Carl Denham) came back for the '49 film. Ray Harryhausen worked under the supervision of Willis O'Brien for the special effects for the original movie. He also has a cameo appearance alongside Terry Moore (Jill Young) in a party scene.

Aaaaand I just found out the writers, Mark Rosenthal and Lawrence Konner, also did an uncredited rewrite for the 2001 POTA movie.

5. Tarzan (1999, Disney+)

Of course, who doesn't love Tarzan??? And Phil Collins's A.M.A.Z.I.N.G soundtrack???!!!

6. King Kong (1933, 2005, Amazon Prime/MAX)

Okay, technically it's a giant monster movie and the OG prior to Godzilla. And it also set the standard of film making overall. However, it is also a bit of a Beauty and the Beast story, hence the lines: "It was Beauty killed the Beast" and the "And the prophet said: And lo, the Beast looked upon the face of Beauty. And it stayed its hand from killing. And from that day forward, he was as one dead." I also recommend watching the extended cut of the 2005 remake.

7. Lilo & Stitch (2002, Disney+)

Again, who doesn't love Lilo and Stitch???

8. How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy (2010-2019, Amazon Prime/Peacock App)

Once again, who doesn’t love HTTYD (and why are they remaking it as a live action movie????)???

9. Gorillas in the Mist (1988, Amazon Prime)

This movie is about Dian Fossey (played by Sigourney Weaver), a primatologist who studied mountain gorillas and she was part of a trio of women who studied great apes; the amazing Jane Goodall and her study of chimpanzees, and Birute Galdikas who studies orangutans. The movie is also based on her book of the same name.

I use past tense for Dian, because she met a tragic and horrific death while she was conducting her research on gorillas. I have in-lined a link to Dian Fossey's Wikipedia article for further reading.

Rick Baker, once again, does some amazing practical creature effects work for the gorillas.

10. George of the Jungle (1997, Disney+)

One of my favorite Brendan Fraser movies, and such a fun, and a bit of a campy movie based on the cartoon series (which is also a spoof of Tarzan). I quote this movie every so often. Unfortunately, Rick Baker did not do the ape designs for this movie. The creature effects this time around was done by none other than the Jim Henson Creature Workshop!

HTTYD BOOK X EPIC THE MUSICAL CROSSOVER PROJECT THEORY

Your friendly neighbourhood conspiracy theorist is back with a more in depth update. I made an update talking more about my theory in my original post in the comments, but I have decided to make it into it’s own post with some amendments and new updates.

There are 6 main blogs I will be talking about which will be referred to by the numbers 1 through 6 (sorry if this makes it confusing) (I am also changing numbering from the og comment).

My investigation started with 1 (an account I’ve been following for a while that posts a lot of httyd book related content) reblogging a post from 2 on the the 21st stating "Hello there tumblr, this is a side blog for a …… project." Based on the comments and reblogs, I was able to confirm another blog (3) as a part of this, and a potential other blog (4). The connection between these four blogs has been further proven through likes, replies, and reblogging each other’s content.

I suspected blog 5 previously due to the following connections to the other blogs and when the blog was created, but it wasn’t confirmed (in my opinion) until this blog reblogged my post which trigged multiple of the others to like/reblog from there (I may get more into this later).

My theory that it has something to do with epic the musical started with blog 6, which posts epic the musical content. I know this blog is associated through reblogs from the others, particularly from 1 (more on this later). 1, 4, and 6 also all have tiktok accounts by the same username which are all connected, further building the connection.

The description of 2 also says, Making your dragons more EPIC since 2024, leading me to further believe that it has something to do with epic the musical. 3 has also been recently reblogging a lot of epic content, including tagging 6 in one of them.

One of the strongest pieces of evidence has come from 1 responding to one of 6’s posts with “One of my favourites is how Suffering is referenced throughout the Thunder Saga - starting with “I will take the suffering from you,” to the FURIOUS “we won’t take more suffering from you,” to the time in EXILE: “how much longer must I suffer now?” To “let me take the suffering from you,” as a different form of “siren song”.” Which for those of you who know httyd, will understand the references being made here, proving the connection between httyd and epic the musical.

In terms of what I think this project is going to be, there is not a lot of evidence towards what it actually is yet, but these are some guesses based on circumstantial evidence. There is probable potential for animatics, knowing that 1 (and 4 to some extent) is an artist, and animatics would be a fitting way to combine httyd and epic. This one is entirely speculation but there may be lyric rewrites to fit the characters in httyd (maybe record as wel idk), based on the mentions of music theory in some of the posts.

I know the people a part of this are watching everything I do. they are watching. I’m looking forward to the project ❤️

The Mystery Behind Astrid's Wolf-Pelt Cloak (HTTYD 3)

Hello, my fellow Furians! Welcome to another HTTYD article! This is one of my older ideas, but again, I just plumb forgot and it was just left sitting there collecting dust. 😅

Today, I want to talk to you about a realization and possible revelation that just has me in fits of excitement! When I watched the end of HTTYD 3 with Hiccstrid's wedding and their cloaks, I never thought much about it. However, when I watched the RTTE Season 2's 4th episode "Bad Moon Rising," I suddenly connected the two dots.

Take a look!

I paused and thought about it for a bit, and then I realized that... wait, wolf. Wolf pelt. A pelt that comes from a wolf. Wait... did the wolf pelt come from THIS wolf?! 😲🤯

I mean, it could be possible, right?

I could totally see Snotlout killing the wolf and gaining a nice pelt from it for his troubles, and then 3 or so years later, when Hiccstrid have their wedding, he gifts it to Astrid as a wedding gift. Or maybe he gifts it to her as a reconciliation gift after having stepped on her wrath one too many times. 😅 Such a time could've been after Season 5's episode "Snotlout's Angels."

Of course, this could just all be an uncanny coincidence, and this is a completely different pelt that had absolutely nothing to do with Snotlout's wolf, and that he either still has it, or Tuffnut has it as an apology gift for the... prank and making him think that he was turning into a Lycanwing.

But hey, I personally support this headcanon. What about you guys?

Let me know what you guys think! I'm always open to other interpretations. It's why theories and headcanons exist.

Thank you for reading this article! See you next time!

Long Live the Night!

[cookisugarrdraws]

So I have this wild theory about why DreamWorks changed the look of the characters so dramatically for HTTYD: THW. Idk how much water it holds but I'm curious what other people think.

I believe a major reason DreamWorks remade all of the character's models for HTTYD 3 could be due to some very strange copyright issues.

21st Century Fox was the distributor for HTTYD 2. Universal was the distributor for HTTYD: THW. I theorize that because Fox is now owned by Disney, and Universal became the distributor for all DreamWorks' movies, there could have been some odd gray zone with distribution copyright when using the models.

Universal, and by extension DreamWorks, legally could not use the models from the 2nd HTTYD film because of the difference in distributors. So, they had to change the characters enough to be distinguishable from their movie 2 counterparts. But they also needed them to be recognizable for the people watching the movie.

Again, no idea how true this could be since I don't work for either DreamWorks, Foxx, or Universal, but it's definitely an interesting theory to me.

[goodstuffexe]

So,

I did the baffling discovery today that the beginning of this song

And the FUCKING LEITMOTIV OF HTTYD and HICCUP as can be heard at the beginning in

and better in

ARE NOT THE SAME.

But how? Why the fuck would a fan of over 10 years say that those are the same frikkin melody?

I DON'T KNOW. Don't ask me, my brain did an oopsie and I can't get over it.

My friends and I just discovered this while guessing film scores and ofc I recognised the score of Httyd immediately, but then my friend played a song from Ice Age and even if I've watched this film as a child, I don't remember anything from it besides maybe some scenes I've seen of the baby (yikes old animation haha). So I ONLY knew Goodnight Sweet Possums from watching Reels and TikToks (it's rly all over the place, but I can understand it's a fucking beautiful song) and SOMEHOW

I NEVER looked at the name of the audio when I heard it AND just assumed that it was a cover of the score of Httyd, because it sounded (and still does wtf) so similar to me.

And I especially never connected it to Ice Age of all things, where the damn thing is from.

Now I've gone over the notes and I think it's the first 3 that set my mind up for the leitmotiv and therefore get mixed up and guess what? Not even those are the same.

To the left is Goodnight Sweet Possums and to the right The Vikings Have Their Tea and you see that the melody of the first 3 ascending tones is not the same, similar? Sure, but not the same, not to mention that the song goes in another direction after this.

I've compared the two more closely and tho Goodnight Sweet Possums definitely has a different melody, especially after those 5 notes, and is faster, the two are still quite similar by first ascending and then descending, but at different times and have other/longer 'pauses' (PLS don't come at me for this explanation lol I have limited knowledge of music theory, am not playing an instrument atm and just tried to compare the two by the looks heh)

SO

Am I stupid for not considering that this, in the second half totally not like Httyd sounding song, (rly it's just the beginning thanks to TikToks short clips) could indeed NOT be a cover? And that I thought I heard snippets of the Httyd score in other musical pieces, because I listen to it weekly, where really none are, happened before?

Perhaps.

Was my world view shattered like the time I discovered musical songs (not all ofc) where in fact not original and I've been humming a melody that has been all over my feed for months and has nothing to do with Httyd?

Yes, yes it was.

But the song is still damn good wow

Anyways,

is this enough proof that I have adhd now?

ALSO THE TWO SCORES ARE FROM THE SAME COMPOSER JOHN POWELL YOU LITTLE-

Pls does somebody hear the similarities too I'm going mad over this

Own All Your Tears and Just Roll With the Waves

Fandom: How to Train Your Dragon

Characters: Hiccup and Astrid

Specific tags: Hurt/comfort, grieving

Summary: Set 1-3 months (you choose lol) after the events of HTTYD 2, Astrid decides to check in on Hiccup when she notices him avoiding the villagers. After talking with him, the weight of everything crashes down on Hiccup.

“Hiccup?” Astrid called as she entered the smithy. She heard something being hammered in Hiccup’s corner of the shop to work in. “Hiccup?” she called again. The hammering stopped.

“I’m in here,” he called out. Astrid paused. He sounded… different. It was a good thing she had come to check on him, she decided. The hammering started up again as she walked through the door. He was hammering some type of project he was working on. She came up near him and peered at him. His brow was drawn together in concentration, sweat beginning to gather on his face. He was wearing an old tunic under his apron with the sleeves rolled up. He looked rather good in Astrid’s opinion, but she pushed that thought out of her mind; now wasn’t the time. She leaned against the counter as Hiccup stopped hammering to look at his project.

“What are you working on?” Astrid questioned curiously. Hiccup didn’t answer, instead staring at his project and giving a frustrated huff. Astrid placed a hand on his shoulder. “Hiccup?”

He sighed in frustration, putting his project down roughly. “In theory, it’s supposed to help improve the efficiency of the dragon wash. The water pipe’s been…” He waved a hand in the air. “Finicky lately.” He picked up the hammer and began to hammer again, with slightly more force. Astrid peered at him, but didn’t say anything. He groaned in frustration.

“But this stupid piece won’t go the way it’s supposed to!” he exclaimed, tossing it to the side. He leaned his hands on the desk and stared down angrily at the hammer. Astrid looked to the piece he had thrown aside, and then back to him. She frowned slightly. She was right to trust her gut and check in on him. She had seen him frustrated when his projects didn’t go his way before, but he never got this angry about it…

A detailed ramble about how This Is Home perfectly fits SoD!Etho as a character

For anybody who doesn't know what the SoD AU is, basically for the long answer, scroll through the au tag at the bottom of this post, for the short answer, httyd au focused on Etho and Skizz. they both have trauma Please note that this ramble will have vague spoliers for the first fic in the series, Aloft, and very vague spoilers for the rest of the series. You can read that first if you are interested! (Aloft is only 5 chapters)

ALSO! After the first verse I had to cut it to a reblog because I may have exceeded the tumblr post character limit and therefore the post couldn't post lol

------

Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love but I guess This avoids the stress of falling out of it So while in the song it's talking about romantic love (which does fit Etho. they're aroace in every au I made), it does fit how Etho feels about friendship until after Dragon Island because they could never make connections because they were an outsider who didn't talk about their past, who wore a mask and kept their hair in front of their eyes, who faced every attempt at friendship with a harsh tongue. Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now but I swear When I'm ready I will fly us out of here Following with the above, it isn't until the events of Lantern that they actually let go of that fear of abandonment, and honestly yeah that's all. Also the references to flying fit Etho's whole dragonkin thing very well. I'll cut my hair To make you stare So while this has never been stated in any of the fics yet, when Etho arrived on Berk, they had pretty long hair. I'd say past their shoulders. This might've been a thing used to tease them (it was). So, they cut it to just below their ears. I'll hide my chest And I'll figure out a way to get us out of here This is literally the only line I can't connect to Etho out of the whole song so just pressing skip on this one <3 Turn off your porcelain face Etho hides their emotions (or at least doesn't show when they're nearing a breaking point) for quite a while, and Skizz keeps trying to help them pick up the pieces afterwards. I can't really think right now in this place There's too many colors enough to drive all of us insane So this one (along with the next few lines) has two meanings in how I think about it. 1-Etho is very much neurodivergent. Specifically they have BPD (and potentially AVPD) and are autistic. They deal with sensory overload every once and a while and it tends to be really bad when it's connected to the other students. 2-The Hidden World is full of colors, and it is the place Etho escapes to, and they don't have to think about everything on the surface for a bit. Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead 'Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head Again, two meanings. 1-Etho's whole dragonkin thing again. A common belief held among otherkin individuals is reincarnation and/or the multiverse theory. While I'm not going to state exactly what Etho believes is the reason they have the soul of a dragon, I do like this little reference to it. 2-Etho's experienced some pretty bad trauma, and that combined with how they're , kinda leaves them thinking that their past self is dead and they're haunted by the ghosts of another life. But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet I mean Etho is stated to have really bad and somewhat commonly reoccurring nightmares in Lantern so there's that.
