Without a doubt the funniest reason for Hiccup to be slightly less sassy is that he can kick your ass now.
Like, damn, that right hook really wasn't for show.

This is not an ask but I just want to give out compliments to you both gentleman.
To Viggo:
'His looks could kill, but his heart would heal souls.' 'His attractiveness was just a bonus to his intelligence and wit.' 'The kind of man who gets better looking with age.' 'A face that inspired poetry and art. A voice that warm a cold night. And a heart worth for softness.' Wishing best on your healing journey, mister Grimborn.
Dagur,
“His rugged good looks were matched only by his adventurous spirit.”
👍 keep rock on dude.
Viggo: Why, thank you! I don’t often receive compliments! I, um, admit that—
Dagur: Why is mine shorter?
Viggo: Dagur, don’t get upset.
Dagur: Why is mine shorter?!
Viggo, sighing: If you’ll excuse us, I think Dagur needs some time to meditate. I thank you for your kind words. (And I’m sure Dagur will come back around.)

If I had a nickel for every time my favorite bad guy had:
A scar on his left eye
A redemption arc/moment
A way to channel/direct lightning
A dragon
A ship as the primary mode of transport
I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?

Opening Up
About opening up...Dagur kinda doesn't. (Spoilers ahead)
Tumblr media
This is something I've seen some fans talk about where they say Dagur would reveal personal information easily. I see where they're coming from with this. Looking at Dagur, I'd expect that too. He's outspoken, emotional, unrestrained, etc. He seems like someone who could randomly say, "I had a good cry today," and it wouldn't be anything surprising. HOWEVER, that changes for me when I look at the proof from the show. If Dagur was half as open about things as this would imply, then we wouldn't be forced to speculate so much about his past and the things that have happened to him. In another case of me spending too much time studying Dragons (probably. Still worth it), I tried to collect all the examples of Dagur sharing information. They have something in common. Each time, there's a specific reason. I'll go in chronological order.
In "Enemy of My Enemy," Dagur tells Hiccup how revenge can make you do things you didn't think you were capable. This was an interesting moment of really getting to see how the villain we saw Dagur be wasn't who he always was. It even shocked him how extreme his actions became. This has the potential to be some heavy stuff, but he didn't just outright say it for fun. He said it because he saw Hiccup going down that same path. This isn't, "I can't believe the things I've done and really need someone to talk to." It's, "I see you following in my footsteps and they led me in a terrible direction. I don't want that for you."
It takes Dagur F.O.R.E.V.E.R. to admit he didn't kill Oswald. Even as a good guy, he doesn't say it easily. In "Family on the Edge," he implies that something Heather said out of the sent her adrift, killed their dad, and tried to kill them list wasn't true, but he doesn't just say it. He writes it in the letter, admitting that and how he was worried that the other Berserkers wouldn't follow him otherwise. If he wanted to do it for emotional release reasons, he could've just said the first time or even told her way back when he thought they were on the same side. Rather than that, he puts it in a letter so that her final relative won't be quite as bad as she thinks he is.
In "Searching for Oswald...And Chicken," Dagur has two moments. First, he tells Heather how he's spent most of his life in varying stages of existential crisis. (Just wow for that. Wish we had heard more about it because that is quite the emotional load he nonchalantly dropped) Again, this clearly isn't to get something off his chest because it's not even something he brings up again. He just tells her so that she'll have proof he knows what is meaningless, hopefully getting her to stop throwing herself in harm's way to find Oswald. Later, he tells Hiccup he keeps anger, frustration, and rage to himself. This also isn't to share so much as to prove he can keep secrets and deserves to be trusted with the location of Vanaheim.
Then, we have "In Plain Sight." There, we find out he used to get bullied. He waited until as much of the last moment as possible to tell Fishlegs and Snotlout this. They had already flown from the Edge to Berserker Island and were literally walking down to meet Ansson. So, I don't think it's him wanting to share sensitive information. It's him knowing they're about to be there with the bully and since Ansson doesn't care about playing nice, it's going to be obvious that he used to bully him. This is just softening the blow a little by telling them first. Didn't really help, though, since they still laughed at him being called "Dainty." (Not cool even though I get how weird it would be to hear someone call him that)
Unless I'm mistaken, that's everything. I don't think there's another time when Dagur reveals something personal. Each of these had some deeper purpose. This is why I don't believe Dagur would start speaking about his past traumas without a prompt. Now, I'll say I do enjoy having him talk about this in stories and I support other writers who do. I just believe it takes a little nudge. He's not going to sit down next to someone and talk about his time in jail. He has literally never spoken about his time in jail in the entire show except the first RTTE episode to say that he spent 3 years thinking about Hiccup. So, it actually leaves a lot of room to be creative with what his past even has first, then what situation would get him to spill the beans.

you ever think about how personality-wise, Sokka from A:TLA is like if Snotlout from HTTYD learned more humility and respect for women faster? both were arrogant, misogynistic jerks in their earlier years. Both thought they were the best. Sokka learns respect for women and the humility to be taught to fight (something he prides himself on being the best at) by a girl. After that he has no issues and becomes one of the most respectful people in the show. There are multiple episodes in RTTE alone where Snotlout has to learn and relearn to respect women. He becomes humbler in the later seasons as one can tell from small lines here and there, but it’s not an overarching theme of any of the episodes definitely not because rtte focused a bit too much on hiccstrid. however both of these characters:
• Can be great leaders should the need arise
•love food
•want to make their fathers proud
• Are not, in fact, the main leaders of their group and they know it but the two leaders of their respective groups (e.i Katara and Aang, and Hiccup and Astrid) are dating/get married
Feel free to add more, that’s just what I can name off the top of my head

Character A: "I'd live for you."
Character B: "The saying is 'I'd die for you.'"
Character A: "I know. But I'd live for you."
Which pair of httyd characters do you think this fits most?
Oooh, the first character that comes to mind as Character A is Dagur. Sounds a little strange, but hear me out. A more unhinged, kind of evil Dagur would pull the "I'd die for you," but redeemed Dagur would probably pull "I'd live for you."
Character B can be Heather in a platonic/familial situation, or Hiccup in a romantic one.
Very interesting question! Thank you!

For your entertainment:
Hiccup: *trying to get stuff done at his workbench*
Dagur: *dramatically lays his head on Hiccup's shoulder*
Hiccup (clearly annoyed): ....Hello, Dagur
Dagur (moping): Heeeey Hiccup
Hiccup:....
Dagur: What'cha up to?
Hiccup: I'm trying to make improvements on Toothless' tail.
Dagur: Oh? That's cool.
Hiccup:...
Dagur:...
Hiccup: *sighs* How about you Dagur?
Dagur: Oh nothing, I've just been waiting all day for my boyfriend to pay attention to me.
Hiccup: Oh gods.
Dagur: But hey, it's okay, I guess a tail is more interesting than me.
Hiccup: *shakes his head* You're impossible.
Dagur: *pouts*
Hiccup (finally breaking a smile): Hey! Don't try to distract me with those sad puppy dog eyes!
Dagur: *perks up* I have sad puppy dog eyes?
Hiccup: *realizes that he's given Dagur a new weapon for his arsenal*

I think Hiccup is more like Dagur and Heather than we give him credit for, simply because he does tend to become obsessed with certain things, too.
Dagur has obvious obsessive traits. He starts a whole war just to get to Hiccup because he betrayed him and then spends a whole three years after that war thinking about getting back at him. All because of a personal slight.
Heather also has this trait and it shows itself when she's obsessed with her quest for vengeance. And I do mean the word "obsessed" because at some point, she puts her life as well as Windshear's life in danger in a mission to kill Dagur, a mission in which she saw ahead of time she was outnumbered, Hiccup told her she was outnumbered, and she still decided to take the risk. Which ended in Heather immediately being overwhelmed. And despite her recklessness almost costing her Windshear and her life, Heather still asked the Dragon Riders for help behind Hiccup's back. She probably wouldn't have even been there to go behind his back if it wasn't for Hiccup saving her life.
And then, after all of that, she would even infiltrate the Hunters by pretending to be their ally just to get close to Dagur.
Not to mention that Heather came into RttE sinking ships (not caring who they belonged to) and even hurting the Dragon Riders to avoid being seen only to later capture and hurt them again (Astrid especially when she and Dagur infamously keep her awake, which is an actual real life torture method) all in the name of keeping her cover.
So you may be thinking... Okay, but how is Hiccup, of all people, similar to them?
Well, the most obvious example is when Hiccup grows obsessed with dragons. He does it to the point that he can neglect other people and things in his life.
And then he obsesses again in RttE when Viggo shows up, to the point that Astrid and Fishlegs had to bargain for one single day off and the dragons getting infected by a grimoras was mistaken for a rebellion caused by Hiccup's actions. Even Dagur noticed Hiccup nursing the seed of revenge and warned him not to let him consume him.
So yeah... Berserker siblings indeed.

canon tidbits i think people who've only seen the httyd movies should know that are confirmed in the shows:
tuffnut and snotlout are canonically talented seamsters
we see the prototype versions of hiccup's flaming sword and the flightsuit in race to the edge
hiccstrid's first kiss is in rtte and its perfect
VIGGO GRIMBORN aka the best httyd villain and the "hiccup's evil mirror" concept actually done right
there are multiple societies dedicated to protecting dragons other than berk
snotlout's assholish disposition is a consequence of his deeply held insecurities that if he can't be the best he's the worst, which is encouraged by his father
the other riders (namely snoutlout) have used the ship name hiccstrid to refer to hiccup and astrid
hiccup redeems so many villains in the shows (alvin, dagur, viggo - one of them later performing a heroic sacrifice to save him) that it's completely unsurprising he thought he could change drago's mind
hiccup punched snotlout in the face and knocked him out cold
the shows let the twins be smarter, snotlout be more thoughtful, and astrid more deranged
snotlout's middle name is gary

For Viggo. Hm. Do you have trouble sleeping? Your eyebags seem really dark and quite huge on both eyes honestly. I have known that tea would be big help in this, and you are quite fond of it correct? Would you want some recommendations?
I have an incredibly difficult time sleeping. It’s been that way since I was a boy. I sometimes smoke poppy to soothe myself to sleep, but given that that seems to be illicit in this time period, yes, I will definitely take some tea recommendations.
