Thinking about Gobber and how he heard Hiccup say “I just want to be one of you guys” and then immediately went out and did something to give him the chance to try and be like them by convincing Stoick to put him in dragon training. The way Gobber looks out and cares for Hiccup is something so special to me.

Excuse you, sir, they invented icecream!

Speaking of ice-cream, this reminds me of that moment from RTTE

Gobber: "The sun, is a shiny potato, covered in drawn butter."

Snotlout: "And the moon is a scoop of ice cream."

This implies that over the course of three years, the twins introduced ice cream to the rest of the gang as well and it's one of the treats they sometimes enjoy

Welcome back to 🌈✨The Dragon Riders as quotes/conversations my friends/family and I have had✨🌈

Hiccup: hey, you remember that fishing trip I went on when I was, like, seven or something?

Stoick: yes, why?

Hiccup: was that you who took me? Or Gobber?

Stoick: it was Gobber.

Hiccup: huh. I think I replaced Gobber with you in my memories, because I don’t remember him being anywhere with me that day.

Gobber: was I that insignificant to you?

Hiccup: apparently.

In Race to the Edge, season six, episode ten, Astrid tells Hiccup a story of how life might have gone if he'd never shot down Toothless. And, if that was how it'd really have gone, I want to talk about it a little lol.

First off, I want to point out how WRONG it was to see Hiccup still wearing that old outfit at that age, just so wrong. Sure, he stilled looked good, that kid looks good in anything and everything they've ever stuck him in, but OH MY GOSH DID I HATE IT

I also didn't like how sad Hiccup looked when Snotlout shot that insult at him :( And in front of Stoick, who didn't even care! Like, the Hiccup we got would've glared back, not looked at the floor.

And the fact that Stoick was interrupting Hiccup and not letting him talk, just like he used to, was kinda interesting in a way. Like he would never have learned to listen to what his son was trying to say, and he would still be ordering him and trying to force the life Hiccup didn't want onto him.

I thought Stoick sending Hiccup away (banishing him, if you will) until he came back with a dragon's head was kind of realistic. I could totally see that happening. In fact, I would be surprised if it didn't happen.

And can I just say I don't think Astrid would get together with Snotlout no matter how few choices she had?? FISHLEGS would be better than Snotlout --and I do not like Fishlegs.

I did think it was a little silly for Hiccup to have lost his leg and for Toothless to lose part of his tail, but I guess Astrid was trying to make a point. But still, yeah, I don't think so lol.

And there's no way Gobber could make the whole you-can-control-the-tail contraption himself. There's just no way lol. It was a sweet connection and everything, but nah. Gobber isn't inventive enough for that.

And last but not least, can we just laugh about the fact that Stoick had more gray hairs in his beard in Astrid's flashback than he has in the real timeline?? That was hilarious.

Just real quick! Something not soapghost (sorry)

I was rewatching httyd 2 (one of my favorite movies btw)

And I remember the first time I watched it, when Stoic was singing to Valka, I hated when Gobber kept interrupting. I thought it was annoying, and didn't belong.

But watching that scene again and I actually kind of like it now. And to properly explain this I just want to put an image in your head.

So imagine this - you, a fresh-faced young viking, has grown up next to his best friend your entire life. He's been beside you through thick and thin, and has never once left your side. Now you yourself have nevr seen any lady that's caught your eye, but your best friend? Oh He's got his heart locked on one. He's quite the fella, has no shortage of women that he could wed. But no, he want the kind-hearted woman who refuses to harm a dragon.

You think maybe she's too soft for this life. She doesn't belong. But you're best friend loves her, and you're his best friend for a eason so you don't say anything.

At first you leave them alone, the waves of love that radiate from them are sickening. They can't keep themselves away from eachother for a second. So you let them be.

Imagine around this time that perhaps you realize lads catch your eye more than lasses do (this is canon btw, and the VA for gobber is also gay)

At some point, after a few moon cycles of your best friend and his lady being together, the three of you start hanging out. You realize this lady is quite nice, still too kind, but you can see why your friend likes her.

At some point you can't keep it in anymore, and confide in your friend that you won't be looking for a lass, but rather a lad. Your friend claps you on the back, and says he's with you always, and it's like a weight has lifted off your shoulders. But then you hear a noise behind you, and you whip around. Standing before you is your friend's lady, and you freeze, but she gives you a nice smile and says she won't say anything. She says the village won't think anything of it, but regardless she won't say anything.

A few moon cycles later and you really do like this lady now. She may not harm dragons, she may fight to save them, but she is just as fierce as any viking you've ever met. And through it all you're best friend and his lady are tag teaming you, trying to set you up with other lads.

These are your best friends, you couldn't imagine your life without them. You do everything together. They never left your side, even when you lost your leg. They've been with you through everything, and you them.

It's been years now. And your best friends are still just as in love now, as they were when they met, in fact they might be even more so. They're married now. They're still trying to set you up with a few guys. You have dinner every night at their house. You cook because like a perfect matching pair, neither of them can cook. And you all laugh and sing together, and you know that no matter what happens it'll all be okay as long as they're here.

They have a baby together, it's a wee little thing. The lady worries something's wrong with him, but your best friend says he's gonna be the greatest chief there ever was.

Then imagine one night there's an especially bad attack, you see your best friends' house catch fire, that's where the baby is, and quiet possibly the lady. You're too far to do anything. But your best friend isn't. He races to the house.

The next thing you know a dragon busts from the roof with the lady in its clutches. Your best friend bursts from the house, little bundle of furs in hand.

After thay day everything changed. It was the same just... less happy. Less kind. But it can be kind of okay with three out of four pieces.

You watch the little boy grow up. Your best friend he's happy, but he worries. He never sings anymore, that's sad. He won't put him in dragon classes because he's scared of losing him too.

Eventually you convince him to allow it. And it goes great until it doesn't. And your best friend disowns his own son for befriending the very beasts that took his lady, the boy's mother.

And then you see that very beast save your best friend's kid's life. And your with your best friend through all of that. Life and death, thick and thin.

And then imagine you find the lady! Or well the kid did. And all of the sudden, this light that died in your best friend's eyes lights up again. And then for the first time in over 2 decades you hear your best friend singing again. Just once. And it's been so long. And then you hear the lady! And now it's like everything is better, just like old times, and you can't help but sing along.

So there! Now you all know some (probably) useless knowledge :)

Favorite HTTYD quotes #1

"They’re droppings spoons on us? What does this mean? Is it a spoon of surrender?”-Dagur the deranged

"And p.s, my leg didn’t "fall” off- Hiccup

"who would freeze perfectly good yak milk?!”-Gobber

"With Tuff spending more and more time away from the hut, Chicken has become a desperate house hen”- Snotlout

I just barely found out Gobber is gay,, I had visions

[reluctantlyanimating]

Flashbacks to this Gobber ref I made early on in my httyd animation planning

[kierancaz]

The fact that Snotlout most definitely skips leg day is sooooooo in character for him

[sourdoughbreadtulip]

Something I love about HTTYD is that most viking don't have an arm or a leg or maybe even both (gobber definitely comes to mind) probably because they are vikings warriors, and it teaches kids that it's normal not to have a leg or an arm, they don't think much of it because they are well vikings. HTTYD shows people with disabilities, such as gobber, hiccup, drago and much other characters (characters that I can't think of right now for some reason) it's a great way of letting kids understand that it's not "weird" or "different" just because you're missing a leg, arm, or maybe even both

Oh Lord, it is time to rewatch every single media ever created for the HTTYD universe…

Except “The Hidden World”. I have watched it once, and I still need 10-15 years to recover emotionally
