rotbtd tag game

i was tagged by @hobie-brown :D

this could get long...

name/nickname? mags! my favourite one atm is magatron

how did you get into rotbtd? saw some fanart on google images while i was perusing through the httyd fanart as a ten year old and never looked back. deviant art and youtue amvs became my vices after that.

what made you stay/come back? httyd 3 actually! even though it's my least favourite of the trilogy, it made me so nostalgic for rotbtd. also the content now is so much better than it used to be imo.

out of the four movies, which one is your favourite? httyd1 definitely. i think its the most well written and constructed (tangled is a close second) and the soundtrack is amazing. while i think brave and rotg aren't as narratively strong, they have the same heart and loveable characters as the other two. tbh, i thoroughly enjoy watching all of them

dreamworks dragons or rapunzel’s tangled adventure? i ADORED rob and dob and i used to watch it episode by episode on abc3, but i haven't gotten around to watching all of rtte yet. tbh...i don't like the characterisation in rtte very much, something just feels off about it. character and plot wise, i don't have anything against rapunzel's tangled adventure, but some of it gets boring and repetitive after a while. this is a long winded way of saying i prefer dreamwork's dragons, but just rob and dob ig.

which one do you prefer to be made a sequel of, brave or rise of the guardians? like @hobie-brown said, disney should not be trusted with merida or any of her family. that being said! a rotg sequel would be a dream come true!! there's so much lore and world building that needs to be explored!! i have so many questions. how did the other guardians die? they mentioned the groundhog, are there other spirits?? are there different ones from other cultures?? and obviously there's will joyce's series to take inspiration from as well. imo, a series would work better to explore everything. (also give me a pitch black redemption arc. i LIVE for the villain-turned-awkward-relative trope)

otp/brotp(s)? my otp is hiccstrid and i think eugene and rapunzel is one of disney's most solid romances so there's that. jarida!! my beloved!! tbh, i was indifferent to jarida until like three months ago but now i cannot stop thinking abt them. in terms of brotps? all of them. literally any. the best thing abt the rotbtd revival is the lack of ship wars and the realisation that all of them have wonderful and distinct chemistry between any other member of the group.

favourite characters? httyd and brave were my gateways into this fandom, so i guess hiccup and merida?? but i actively kin rapunzel and jack has so many unexplored character traits beyond Ice Themed Bad Boy That Pulls Pranks. idk man, don't make me pick.

favourite au(s)? BAND AU. OMG i LOVE BAND AUs. @risoris made an awesome band au and a fic to go with it and i think i cried when i saw it. some of my other favourites are: office aus, superhero aus or camp counsellors aus (which @ven-finn has drawn art for ;))

pick one! favourite b4 house placement in hogwarts au? im not as into hp as i was before bc of reasons but my headcanons for house placements are: hiccup - ravenclaw, rapunzel - gryffindor, merida - slytherin, jack - hufflepuff

pick one! since this is 2021, any hot takes you want to give us? | what old fanon tropes that you still enjoyed to this day? hm. i think old fanon tropes were frustratingly heteronormative and surface-level. some hot takes... umm

when merida's old and her kingdom's passed onto her brothers or her heir (if she has one), her retirement plan is to go live in the woods and become the resident cryptid.

any aus that take away hiccup's disability is yuck.

i mentioned this in an earlier question, but jack has SO MUCH character beyond the basic bad boy arcetype everyone placed him in during early fandom. like, the boy needs therapy but not in the way wattpad boys need therapy y'know?

in general, i think old fandom lacked a lot of nuance when it came to the characters, especially when they were all together so im glad that's starting to change!

in a modern au, raps would DEFINITELY be on art tiktok. like those mirror painting trends and the cottagecore aesthetics remind me so much of her.

everyone thought that jack would play hockey bc he's ice themed and everything, when in fact 1) he uses his staff much more like a lacrosse stick than a hockey stick and 2) you think that twink isnt the resident smart ass who makes fun of the sports people at the risk of being punched in the face?

any fic recs? or if you couldn't think of any, what was the last rotbtd fanfiction that you read? the last one i think i read was @risoris 's 'Like A Fist In The Eye' which is a jarida soulmates au but with a twist that they hate eachother. it's only got one chapter and they haven't met yet, but im in love with it. a few i'd recommend are:

we cannot be friends (cannot pretend it makes sense) which is a platonic merida and hiccup fic with added hiccstrid and lesbian merida

Jack Frost and the Shadows of Van der Bor which is a jarida hogwarts fic!

im tagging @risoris and @therearedragonsindunbroch if they haven't already seen/done this!

1, 4, 5, 11, 17, 20, 24, 27, 35, 40, 43!!!

24 and 43 already answered :3

1. Your first OC ever? OK THIS QUESTION IS SO FUNNY CAUSE LIKE. i dont use this character anymore but. i literally stole my first oc. when i was very young (like 9 years old this was like over a decade ago) i was obsessed w this one youtube animator called superturtlethefirst who had an oc that was a gray cat named sasha, and they made an amv w that character to bring me to life by evanescence where she got possesed by some demon and Did A Murder. and i stole that oc sdkgjdslkgjsdgjkkdsjglkdsglkdsgldsghds (also superturtlethefirst’s channel is still up but be careful if u go there some of the videos have the r slur in the title....its that old)

4. A character you rarely talk about? ALL OF MY MINECRAFT OC’S...i made a real world au for them that i LOVE but i NEVER TALK ABT IT EVER....ALSO the villains in awn and zee’s story cause whenever i do anything with awn and zee i just get wrapped up in making them cute and gay together and i ignore their actual story djskgds. also the ghost space adventure crew i havent done anything w them pensive

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be? my gut says sayre but only because she technically was once already well known-ish back when she was a ddlc au ask blog........ahhh the good old days. but if not her.... maybe epoch because he has Big Tumblr Sexy Man potential and i WILL bank on that. i am not above being that person who makes a tumblr sexy man in order to make my stuff popular.

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”? DOES WISH COUNT....its like literal starshine and the sun is a star. and personality wise it fits it is VERY bombastic and friendly. also awn and zee they are both so sweet and loving and kind.

17. Any OC OTPs? SO MANY. -inhales- Nat and Yvonne, Awn and Zee, Lightshow and Dark Opal, Inkfree and Tentacular (hehe >:3), Glitter Bomb and Carnelian (HEHE >:3c), Wanderer and Pedant, Glaze and Contessa, Peachy and Finn, AAAAND Curse and Wish. -exhales-  and those are just the ones im Really Into, i have so many other characters in relationships kjdsg

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)? I HAVE A FEW OC’S WITH VOICE CLAIMS WHO SING SO HEHE...Molly’s voice claim is Monika DDLC so she probably sings in the same way that Monika sings Your Reality. The entire pirate crew, which molly is in, probably sings a LOT of sea shanties and drinking songs. Malcolm’s voice claim is Ben Folds and i came up with an au of an au with him after listening to Rockin The Suburbs, + he’s a shitty white boy garage band singer in that au. Thuccopith’s voice claim is fucking HEXXUS so. YAKNOW. HE WOULD SING TOXIC LOVE THATS JUST IN CHARACTER FOR HIM. also purple poets whole crew probably sing a lot because theyre all dramatic little fucks, including purp’s niece who is. a literal popstar kljgsdlgj

27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song? .....I DONT THINK SO...?  I CANT REMEMBER...i have lots of songs i associate w my oc’s and lots of playlists but i cant think of any that directly came from any songs. maybe bits of their stories yeah but other than that idk.

35. Any sibling characters? Yep!  Pedant + Glaze + Holly, Contessa + Peachy, and Shepard + Simon!....i just realized theyre all my mc oc’s kljdgslkdgjdsg

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share! Sayres old askblog....It was a really fun time. Especially becuz thats how Sayre and Jenn first started interacting. Also the superverse in general makes me emo becuz it was just me and theo at first and then a bunch of ppl joined and now its so big and beautiful and im. wails.

THANK U FOR ASKING AAA :’3
