This post was originally going to be "Dagur/Viggo hate sex" but as I was typing that my brain screamed "Hiccup sandwich" instead.
So.
Hiccup trapped between his two, arguably, most dangerous enemies. Two sets of hands on his body, two mouths kissing him and leaving hickies along his neck, two voices whispering vague threats and obsessive praise respectively into his ears.
Dagur and Viggo working together and getting 'along' for this and only this and then immediately arguing about who gets to cuddle Hiccup's wrecked body the closest afterwards. Dagur recommending branding in the form of carving his name into Hiccup's skin and they both end up shooting it down because they don't want anyone to claim what's theirs in such a way.
Hiccup being both terrified and unreasonably turned on, especially when Viggo suggests they "take him at the same time" since they can't agree on who should go first. "No no no you'll rip something you'll hurt me-" Hiccup tries to plead only for Viggo to pull out a full jar of oil and say, very calmly, "we'll use the whole thing if needed."
Dagur's eyes light up at the suggestion and Hiccup knows he's, literally and metaphorically, fucked.
Concept: Sorcerer’s Apprentice AU where the setting is aaaalmost the same (Stoic n Valka are Merlin’s apprentices, Viggo is the traitor—and how can he not be in the same role as Horvath when they’re literally the same actor LOL—Valka sacrifices herself to help seal Morgana in the Grimhold like in the movie).
The twist is that the Prime Merlinian is their son and kidnapped from a young age. Viggo, intending to try to steal Hiccup’s power for himself (and keeps him in a state of suspended animation as he does his research), is unsuccessful for centuries until at last he realizes his quest is impossible so he does the next best thing: raise Hiccup as his own so he can control him.
A. I really just like the idea of how it might be if Viggo raised Hiccup and it was a father/son n mentor dynamic between them
B. If you couldn’t tell Viggo is my new favorite character and I’m taking every chance I can to draw him LOL
He’s just got an interesting face to draw and a compelling character to me yk, I’d like to explore more things with him.
(Don’t worry, next post about this AU will have more Hiccup n Jack stuff xD )
So I decided to rewatch RTTE because I felt like indulging in some childhood nostalgia. A few things to note:
- Snotlout and Fishlegs are dating. Good for them.
- The twins are the best characters. Still don't know wtf a boar pit is.
- I know those are supposed to be dragon scales on Ryker's shoulder and arm pads but they look like turtle shells I'm sorry--
- Actually good disability rep?? Hello??
- Hiccup how tf are you still alive?
- "Toothle plama bla" is perhaps the funniest thing in any piece of media ever.
- On the subject of Gruffnut: There's another one???
- How does Tuffnut know so many languages? Did these languages exist in this time period? If so who taught him? Is Tuffnut Odin in disguise? Would that make Ruffnut Loki?
- Hiccup is AuDHD. No I will not be taking comments at this time.
- Where tf did Hiccup get his dragon blade in midnight scrum? Why did he not use it to free himself or fend off his attackers? Also, on the subject of midnight scrum, how is this boy's neck not broken??
- I stan one (1) Heather the Unhinged. Go off queen. Feral bastard child.
- Ruffnut is actually super smart?? And cool?? What??
- I did not watch the series before this one so Dagur's entrance confused me so much at first. Who is this man and why does his beard look like that?? Please shave.
- Gonna punch Snotlout's dad. Gonna kick his fucking ass.
- Why is Viggo so aggressively British? And why is his brother Scottish? Come to think of it, there is no consistency in any of the accents.
- Sir, that is not a dragon, that is a Pokémon (you know exactly which dragon I'm talking about don't pretend you don't know)
The gang’s names are under-appreciated, not just because they are amazing, but for the comedy potential.
They’re out here being named, Snotlout? Fishlegs? Ruffnut? Tuffnut? Hiccup?
While everyone else has normal names like Viggo, Ryker, Dagur, Heather, Johann, Drago, Mala and so on!
Can. You. Imagine. Being a villain, fighting these teenagers, being defeated, and utterly impressed, and then you ask for their names, thinking it’ll be something amazing like TORMOD THE GREAT, and then it’s… Fishlegs????? Fishlegs Justin Ingerman??
And the leader is HICCup? UHH???!! And his deadly beast is Toothless? Like, “NO??? No no no, I see teeth”
damn guys. i’m back. and since y’all have been so patient and sweet here’s some random httyd sketchies.
but SERIOUSLY!! thank you all for the support and kind words of encouragement. i promise i read every single comment, hashtag and like i receive. and i love each and every one of you! i hope you have a great start to an even better week! toodles. 😘
On my second watch through of Race to the Edge, and man, could you imagine if we'd gotten a villain like Viggo instead of Drago in HTTYD2? Like, instead of this big dumb brute who just wants power (that essentially is no different than the other types of vikings that Hiccup deals with every day), if Hiccup actually had an intellectual opponent who gave him a run for his money (and hell, maybe even some moral challenges?)
(don't talk to me about Grimmel, i know technically he was like that but Hiccup had 0 braincells in httyd3 and just overall this household is a zero httyd3 tolerance household, thank you. Also Viggo has way more charisma than Grimmel)
RTTE has its faults but overall the good moments in the show are REALLY good, and I love how they did Viggo - I just wish he were in something with a higher budget T0T
