despite knowing what was going to happen, snotlout's redemption and eventual downfall was so so heartbreaking to me. we spend the past 10 books witnessing how much he's tormented and bullied hiccup that we all feel the same anger and frustration and resentment as fishlegs does in the beginning of 11. i was, maybe, even rooting for something a little bad to happen to him so that he can feel even a fraction of the humiliation that he put hiccup through. but time and time again hiccup, with his inherent goodness and wonderful capacity to always try and see the best in people, reminds us that people need and deserve second chances. even third, fourth and fifth chances. even when hiccup was faced with the certainty that snotlout was set on betraying him from the start.

that's why it was so satisfying to get to the emotional catharsis of the swordfight. snotlout practically begging for hiccup to hate him and hiccup genuinely not having it in him to be able to. and even after that, even after he disarms hiccup and is seconds from killing him - he doesn't. and then hiccup comforts snotlout through it. he tells him words that snotlout didn't know he's been desperate to hear. he tells him he's being too hard on himself. he tells him he's a hero. he opens a door inside snotlout's life for the first time in a long time. despite everything, he offers him another choice to join the dragonmarkers. and snotlout accepts. he bows to hiccup, he calls him king, pledges his sword to his service forever, shakes his hand and chooses to bear the dragonmark.

and it's this moment we finally seeing the seeds of change planted in snotlout sprout - instigated by gobber teaching him a lesson in the amber slavelands and reminding him what the black star represents: pride, honour, bravery. all the times we see snotlout give in to vulnerability and ponder on his choices, he's always holding onto it. which makes it all the more symbolic when he hangs it around hiccup's neck during his last act of valour.

just like how the book tells us that the tides can change so fast, through hiccup, my heart was able to give snotlout another chance too. and it's because of hiccup's belief in snotlout's potential for more that makes you feel so strongly about his death. snotlout's excitement at finally being on hiccup's side, at doing what's right, at having the opportunity to actually be a hero - we can't help but feel that burst of pride, we can't help but root for him. and so we feel the loss, as hiccup did. and it's a point driven home when hiccup ends the epilogue with how he’s carried snotlout and his sacrifice with him all throughout his life. and how time has rubbed away at the black star.

that now the star doesn't look black at all. just gold.

HELLO AGAIN I'm glad to see you got my ask (it was important to me that you knew how much I ADORE this au) but now I've just gone back through the tag, I have some questions, if you don't mind! There's a good chance you've answered some of them before but I wanted to ask anyway:

First of all: with both Snotlout's being one character, and in Elder's age group, how does that work with some of the book specific scenes where Snotlout is being cruel to Hiccup during training (as the older ones have already gone through pirate training)?

Also slightly related: are either Adelaide or Gustav in Younger's pirate training programme or is it just the book people we hear about?

Also also slightly related (and you can tell I have a bit of a theme to my questions): what is Adelaide and Snotlout's relationship like? And what is Adelaide like full stop since she's barely mentioned in the books after all, so if you do have anything characterisation wise, that would be quite cool?

AHHH THANK YOU 😭😭 ALSO I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS SO MUCH BECAUSE I GET TO DRAW ADELAIDEEE WHOO

So Snotlout basically did all the book bullying to Elder back when they were both in the Pirate Training Program, (including the sabatoge and attempted parricide,) and he continued to do it through the Dragon Training Program and up until Elder saved everyone from the Red Death. Ever since starting the Dragon Academy, Elder has been receiving much more respect from his peers, and Snotlout has been having to draw back on the bullying to save face. Elder and he still have that chief-heir rivalry, of course, and it becomes a gag that Snotlout casually tries to kill him and Elder rolls his eyes like "oh, you" and then everyone laughs it off. Through RTTE he'll mellow out, and by the time of HTTYD 2, the murder theme will pretty much be gone with Snotlout having begrudgingly become real friends with Elder.

As for Adelaide!! I made a post about her a few years ago, but I decided I wanted to give her a bit of an update since I found a better slot for her in the larger story! (And also because I wanted to redesign her agahagah)

Adelaide is indeed in the Pirate Training Program! She pretty much becomes Younger's book!Snotlout, sans the murderous tendencies. Unlike Snotlout, Adelaide has nothing to gain from killing her Hiccup, but she has seen Snotlout heckle Elder enough times for her to mirror that onto Younger. Taking book!Snotlout's place also gives her all of his book lackies, like Dogsbreath! (Gustav is also a Pirate and one of her lackies, though he's less of a bully to Minicup and Fish and moreso just a mild annoyance 😂)

Adelaide and her friends' usual up-tos around Berk include sailboat racing, hunting rats and fish with their hunting dragons, basheyball, and other mischievous preteen activities (though never quite as destructive as what the Thorston twins get up to.)

Adelaide's relationship with Snotlout is amicable enough, though they probably bicker thrice as much as the Hiccups normally would. Snotlout likes to embarass Adelaide around the other Pirates and it annoys her to no end, but despite this (and she'd never say it to his face) she's often heard praising Snotlout up and down for being the coolest person ever. She likes to taunt Younger about how her cool and awesome big brother is gonna clobber his wimpy crybaby big brother. Even after Elder defeats the Red Death, she still has a habit of talking him down in favor of Snotlout, and continues to do so even through Race to the Edge and HTTYD 2.

She'd get some skull tattoos in RTTE, and her riding dragon would be the Devilish Dervish that Snot had in the books! I also wanted to give her a unique weapon, so she uses a flail mace!

Her role gets bigger from book 9 onward, as she and Snotlout's relationship with each other as well as their differing thoughts about who deserves to be King become extremely relevant.

Let's just say she's got a good throwing arm.

Snotlout: I think it’s time I get my life in order

Tuffnut, narrating: But he did not get his life in order. In fact, he got drunk last night and fought a raccoon

Can someone please make more snotlout ca.i bots, I love my boy and there's too little of him

[univemma]

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING

OKAY so we all know (and love) Gift of the Night Fury, we've all seen this scene:

With Snotlout and the cute little baby monstrous nightmare. And as if that wasn't adorable enough, in the wider shot of the whole great hall just before this shot, you can see where he and Fishlegs are sitting before we get the closer shot

And ITS FAINT and kinda hard to see but if you pay attention, you can see Snotlout and he does the thing pet owners do when they go nose to nose and shake their heads at them. Aka, he literally NUZZLES THE BABY DRAGON

[whelvehitee]

I swear I have better things to do..... 😔

BUT ANYWAYS

SNOTLOUT BRAINTROT PT2

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

I can't believe they gave him so much personality in the series and then all of it went down the drain with every movie

I mean I get that they were just trying to put the main focus on hiccup and toothless with their development and the stories over all progression but they should've kept some elements from the two series too considering then perhaps more people would be compelled to watch them

Snotlout is definitely my favorite out of all of them with his sassy attitude but in the movies he just doesn't get the spot light my man deserves 😭

Like istg if dreamworks doesn't release a movie solely based on my beloved then I WILL REVOLT 😾😾

But in all seriousness they coulve at least kept his character development but they decided against it, like they really just kept him as a side character who was fawning over the ladies at every given moment even though in the series we see that he learns his lesson after his interaction with the wingmaidens in that one episode

I'm DROWNING in my sorrows now that there's no more snotlout content 😭😭😭

[bitter-sweet-coffee]

thinking about them rn…

[bignostalgias]

Someone has probably asked it, but Astrid for the characters bingo!! Or Snotlout?

ASTRID MY BELOVED!! I added a couple sketches of her I still like too :0

(^low key hymnal flavored? Maybe?)

I don’t have toooo many opinions of Snotlout but my fondness for him has grown since watching a few seasons of RTTE! Bastard (affectionate)

Thank you for the ask aaaa 🥰

a/n: HI HI. I know I've been writing a lot of Genshin stuff lately but I've had this particular scenario I've wanted to write out surrounding HTTYD characters: f!reader x Hiccup tags: Tiny tiny bit of angst at the start but I swear its mostly fluff! prompt: reader can travel between worlds and has come back to Berk after going to her original world for over a year. Reader left at the end of RTTE and comes back at the end of HTTYD 2

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

The familiar rippling feeling glided across my skin as I pass through the random-shaped portal. Smelling the salty breeze and feeling the soft grass under my shoes felt comforting as I laid eyes onto the well-known structures of Berk.

That feeling however didn't last long as I realized that the village had fallen eerily silent. Where is everyone? There were no signs if anyone and most of the village had been covered in blue ice.

A few dragons had flown over my head to the direction of the other side of the village and I followed, hoping this foreboding feeling in my chest was entirely wrong.

But I couldn't help my senses slowly disappearing as I could only see what was in front of me, not my ragged breathing nor my footsteps were heard by my ears.

There was a huge wall of bodies blocking me from any sort of indication as to what was going on. Mumbling out apologies and excuses, I weave my way through the crowd and end up at the front, finally able to see what was going on.

They all focused their attention on the people in the middle, which happened to be Gothi and Hiccup.

The foreboding feeling left me as I heaved a huge sigh of relief, my arms falling slack beside me. Scanning the area, I realized everyone was safe with a familiar face missing and a new woman blending in with the gang.

Gothi swiped her thumb on a nearby plank of burnt wood, rubbing the charcoal between her fingers. Hiccup kneeled before her and I gasped as I realized what was happening.

She drew the symbol on his forehead. No words were spoken between the two as Gothi slowly stepped away as Gobber walked closer, the tears in his eyes apparent.

"The chief has come home!" Gobber yelled as the crowd erupted into loud cheers of "Long live the chief!", me included as I approached the beloved dragon riders.

Tapping on Snotlout and Ruffnut's shoulders, their gazes swivel to me as both fall into shock, but quickly recovering and pulling me into a group hug.

"[Name]! You're back!"

The mention of my name surely turned a few heads as the rest of the dragon riders piled in on the hug and shouts of excitement at my return.

As I basked in the comfort of my best friends, the newly crowned chief waited patiently for the group hug to finish. Hiccup's heart pounded against his chest as the euphoria and adrenaline of today swirled through his veins.

A hand laid on his shoulder as he turned to see his mothers face, "Is that her?" she asked and he nodded in response. The toothy smile on his face was bright and his eyes sparkled, his mother taking note of the absolute joy on his features.

Soon the rest of the group detangled from the hug as Astrid nudged them to let Hiccup have his turn. Your eyes fell on the auburn haired lad, and I felt as if I could breath again. A year had surely done him so right as he looked even more handsome than when you last saw him but his alluring green eyes were as comforting as ever.

"Hiccup," I almost whispered, tears pricking at the corner of my eyes as I waited patiently. Waited for him to approach me first.

The overwhelming joy hit me in waves as he wasted no time to wrap me up in a hug, one arm around my waist and the other on my back. My lips trembled as I silently cried into his shoulder, surely wetting his armor but it was the least of both our worries.

"You came back." He murmured into my ear, in disbelief that I actually returned. He hugged me tighter, afraid I would slip out of his arms once more.

His nose buried deeper into my hair as I barely heard him whisper, "Feels like home." The sentiment had me blushing wildly but also giddy with excitement.

I didn't pull away from him, just letting the man soak in his emotions, but I reached up to weave my fingers through his hair, his body relaxing against mine at the gesture.

My lips moved to his ear, "Welcome home, chief." I responded, giggling slightly as he fell silent knowing that he felt embarrassed that I heard him.

Our reunion however was short lived as the twins tried to push Hiccup away, "Alright, that's enough it's our turn."

"Tuff, you already had your turn."

"That was a group hug so it didn't count."

I laughed as I watched the group bicker amongst themselves. It was something you didn't think you would miss when you went back to your world but it only meant that you were right where you were supposed to be.

Hiccup kept his arm around my waist as a blissful expression graced his features, his lips tugged into a lopsided smile.

I'm home.
