Valka shows Drago how dragon mother grieves for her child. Fire, blood and iron 🔥🔥🔥

Who are you? The Dragon Thief? Drago Bludvist?

[kierancaz]

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.

What if Hiccup grew an inch taller than his mom? Just a what if AU

*Bonks Affectionaly*

I wouldn't want to see him grow up so fast either

sorry it got me this long I am busy with college these days :')

[adrypaint]

for the dancing and the dreaming...

[lex-crow]

Headcanon (kinda)

Hiccup being allergic to dragon root. Not like it’s going to kill him but it’ll make him terribly ill.

This doesn’t help the roomers that he’s not human. The twins started it and hiccup being himself doesn’t help and doesn’t know.

Also when his mom returnes she also has the same reaction to dragon root

And people just go. “Ah yeah stoic and his half feral, vigilante, fae wife and their son who definitely took after mom.”

Does this make any sense?

[ana-the-light-fury]

Does anyone else feel so immensely sorry for Hiccup when rewatching the scene in the second movie where Stoick and Valka are dancing??

Like the poor child never got to enjoy his parents being parents, never snuck down at night and caught his father and mother in the middle of a sweet moment, never heard them laugh together and then smile lovingly in each other's arms, never had the chance to climb in bed with Mom and Dad after a nightmare, never went to just enjoy a nice fire on a cold day, sitting between them.

And Hiccup, in this scene, is smiling so joyfully because he's happy for both of them. And he's happy that his family is whole again. Happy to see his dad so happy. Happy to feel like he has a mother and a father, happy to share such a special moment he's never been a part of before.

Like, can I just...sob? Am I allowed to sob sad tears at a scene that's supposed to be happy?

Is it just me?

Here's something i dont think we talk about enough:

✨Berk is a small town✨

So some background for those who don't know what that means:

(skip to the bottom iyk)

1. Everyone knows everyone. They know everything you do. All the time. If you think they don't knoa you, they know your parents or a friend of your parents or a friend of a friend if a friend. Everyone knows everything.

2. Because everyone knows everyone, you get a Reputation from a young age. And it never leaves. If you high achieve, you stay that way, If you're good at soccer you stay good, etc.

3. You either are dying to leave or never want to leave. This affects all of your relationships with literally everyone.

What does this have to do with Berk?

Well!

That means Hiccup has always been the screw up. In Riders and Defender he gets questioned all the time because he can't escape that.

And you know it put the fear of Odin in him when Stoic told him "there's nothing on this island he doesn't know about" because for the most part THAT'S TRUE

It also makes RTTE more understandable: Hiccup wants to LEAVE, he's a little tired of the screw up routine and it even takes his father until the latter part of RTTE to really earn his full respect. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU LEAVE A SMALL TOWN!

And in the movies you see Hiccup wanting to leave and how that affects his relationship with Astrid, his mom, and his dad.

In the 3 rd movie there are also moments where he is questioned and STILL TREATED LIKE A SCREW UP.

Pls add more if i missed anything!

TLDR; BERK IS A SMALL TOWN AND IT'S SUPER RELATABLE.

"go on- shout, scream, say something!"

"... you're as beautiful as the day I lost you."

[forestshadow-wolf]

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 :)

Stoick headcannons

stoick hated dragons so much because they killed valka. before that, he was a respected dragon hunter but he wasn’t obsessed with it like he was in the first movie

stoick and toothless absolutely have a fake love-hate relationship. toothless will pretend to hate him and growl at him all the time and stoick will complain about toothless being in his house, but toothless and stoick give each other big hugs whenever they see each other after a long time apart and stoick always makes extra food for toothless while toothless brings back extra fish just for stoick

they treat each other like toothless is a stray that just never left: constantly ragging and being snarky with each other but they really do love each other

stoick is sort of a father figure for all the riders

he is their role model and chief, but he tends to treat the riders a bit like they’re his kids

while they all have their own parents and families, the riders tend to have big meals at hiccups house together with stoick every so often

this tradition continues even when stoick passes but it’s never the same

when they meet valka, the riders are pretty frosty to her for a long time

while they understand wanting to save dragons, they were first hand witnesses to hiccup’s loneliness and fights with his father and they hate that she abandoned her kid and husband

they eventually sort it out and become civil but they never get as close to her as they were with stoick

stoick was very socially competent and was very skilled at figuring out when people were trying to manipulate him, which was why he had so many enemies but remained one of the most powerful chiefs in the archipelago

while stoick scolded hiccup a lot for the trouble he got into, he was very protective of hiccup to other people. he’s well known outside of berk for getting into fights with people who disrespected hiccup in front of him. this was strange to the other vikings because while it is normal behavior to defend your sons honor, they would never have done so for a runt that was supposed to die soon after birth

if stoick had survived after drago was defeated, i think stoick would have had a long talk with valka about how she abandoned them. as much as he loves her, he’s still upset that she wasn’t there to help raise hiccup and that is was her choice to be absent

i think while stoick has a hard time talking about her, he gives pieces of valka to hiccup whenever he can (the dragon plushie, the breastplate helmet, etc.)

in turn, after stoick dies hiccup spends a long time working through his grief by telling valka stories of him being his dad instead of being chief

hiccup also likes to sit at stoicks statue and just talk for hours. when he doesn’t feel like talking, he sits in silence while doing some work or eating. it’s almost like having him there still.

stoick gives the best hugs ever

stoick really loved hiccup. while he hated all the trouble he got into, he admired his intellect, leadership ability, and willingness to follow his own heart. after the red death’s death, he is immensely proud and brags about hiccup to everyone.

he really struggled with being a single father while mourning his wife and trying to lead a village. this was the time period when gobber and stoick became the closest, because stoick relied on gobber so much as a friend and support system.

hiccup sees gobber as a crazy uncle/close friend, not as a father figure. however, he will go to gobber whenever he and his dad are having a fight.

stoick also really loved astrid. he often gave her big hugs and was adamant that she only refer to him as stoick or dad when they were at home instead of chief, because she was his future daughter-in-law.

while he loved all the riders for becoming hiccups friends, he was ecstatic when he heard about hiccup and astrid getting together. he was very excited for grandkids.

stoick was very busy as chief and while he always made time for hiccup, he wasn’t aware of the bullying and negligence that hiccup endured from the rest of the village. this was why he never thought it was a big deal to scold him in front of people.

I’ll probably add more httyd headcannons later but feel free to ask for anything in specific :D

[iamafule]

Thinking about how Hiccup in the movies is a total mamas boy who grew up without a mama
