Has anyone already done this? Someone’s probably already done this but I don’t care

Tell me this isn’t their exact dynamic

Hiccup: *breaths*

Astrid, already whipping out the strap on: Hands and knees bitch boy

Background Information for HTYD Next Gen Story

Night Fury Redesign - Peregrine Falcons, Panthers, Cats, Bats

- Long, pointed wings (Similar in shape to a Peregrine Falcons)

- Secondary 'wings' for stability and lift (The fins beneath his wings)

- Phalange on wing for manueverability

- Long bodies, with relatively short legs; Can be between 25 and 30 feet long

- Large keel for more powerful wing muscles

- Large chest to hold larger lungs that let them fly higher, and large airsacs

- Wings connected to forelimbs; Powerful shoulder and leg muscles to allow for taking off from the ground

- Three foreward facing toes, and two backwards facing toes on hind legs for grabbing fish

- Retractable teeth

- Powerful neck muscles to hold head steady when diving, and to hold the head still when flying in place

- Tails fins for stability, balance, lift generation, steering and air braking

- Extended spine plates that split to relax the spine and allow for tighter turns

- Nocturnal

Scale color is dependent on the color of the sky when they are in their eggs, such as if the sky is cloudy for a majority of incubation the hatchling will be grey rather than black or blue.

Eats fish, whales, sharks, deer, yaks, and sheep

Light Fury Redesign - Albatross, Thresher Shark, Fishing Cats, Axolotls

- Long, narrow wings for active soaring (Shaped like an Albatross' wings, but a little bit longer to hold them up)

- Short, rounded 'secondary' wings for stability in long flights; Capable of folding flat against the body

- Longer ears for better echolocation

- Small wing muscles because they 'lock' their wings in place to fly

- Large chest for large lungs and airsacs so they can fly high

- Sealable nostrils for when they swim

- Stocky, muscular build with short, muscular legs; Can be between 20 to 24 feet long

- Partial webbing between toes for better swimming

- A long, sickle shaped tail fin with the upper part being longer; Whips prey to stun them, both in and out of water (Like a Threshers tail)

- Shark-like fins on the tail, in front of the fin to help them swim quicker

- Slightly hooks claws, and inwardly curved teeth for catching fish; Retractable teeth and slightlt retractable claws

- Wavy, short sail fin down the spine, starting behind the wings and ending just path the secondary 'wings' and on the forehead

- Opaque scales; Thinner, but when heated mirror surroundings for short periods

Scale color is dependant on the warmth of the egg during incubation, such as being warmer leads to having darker colored scales while being cooler leads to lighter colored scales

Mainly pescetarian, sometimes feed on sharks or whales

Light Furies and Night Furies are close enough relatives that they will gather in small Prides when they feel threatened or their is not enough territory. Surprisingly Stormcutters can often be seen in these 'Prides' as they are gentle giants, and fiercly defensive.

Grimmel is actively hunting down Night Furies, so they stay hidden, not joining any nests and continuing on the move.

Chief Hiccup and Astrid had three children together, before disappearing on a rescue mission with the other Dragon Riders.

Hakkon, Frigga, and Skathi Haddock were then raised by Valka, Stoick and Gobber. (Stoick having survived Toothless' plasma blast by sheer luck but lost all feeling and motion in his left arm.)

Calumn, Dagur and Mala's son was raised by Mala with the help of the Beserkers and the Defenders of the Wing.

Asgeir and Sindri, Snotlouts son and daughter respectively, were raised seperately. Sindri was raised by her mother, Mindin with the Wingmaidens while Asgeir was raised by his grandfather, Spitelout.

Bragi, Fishlegs and Heathers son, was raised by Mala as well, having been taken in when she realized that Stoick and Valka were raising the three Haddock children.

Alva and Anja, identical twin daughters of Ruffnut, were raised by their father, Eret Eretson on Berk.

Bard, Tuffnuts son was raised by his Uncle, since his mother was unknown.

Hakkon - Female Thunderdrum (Kólga)

Frigga - Male Deadly Nadder (Spear)

Skathi - Several

Calumn - Triple Stryke (Viper)

Asgeir - Monstrous Nightmare (Wildfire)

Sindri - Razorwhip (Belladonna)

Bragi - Thunderclaw (Stormlight)

Alva - Boneknapper (Graveyard)

Anja - Armorwing (Armory)

Bard - Hobblegrunt (Borealis)

Names.

So, basically, I wasn't satisfied with the ending of httyd 3. I didn't like the dragons leaving, and I didn't like the plot very much as well. So, I decided to make a plot including the next generation (i.e. the riders' children). But here's where I meet my waterloo:

Names.

URRGH, I just have the WORST time selecting names for the children excluding Zephyr and Nuffink PLUS their dragons! Especially when you go on the internet and see all these awesome httyd ocs with their equally sensible names, and no matter how much you want to steal them but then you remember copyright is a thing. So, that's why, I need help. With names.

Please send me some sensible names, p l e a s e. I will be eternally grateful if y'all do. For both the children AND their potential dragons.

List:

Zephyr - Stormcutter Nuffink - Deadly Nadder Tufflout fanchild - Typhoomerang Rufflegs fanchild - Zippleback Dagurxmala child #1 (currently named Arne) - Thunderdrum Dagurxmala child #2 (currently named Eira) - Triple Strike

*This is a concept I'm still working on, so stuff might change later on.

UPDATE: I've uploaded the official descriptions of these characters now! Go check them out!

I've already posted about this before, but there is something so intimate and sweet about the riders all living on the Edge for a year.

Before RTTE they've been slowly drifting apart. After the end of Riders and Defenders of Berk Hiccup is still leading searches to the farthest corners of the archipelago with his friends, looking for whatever dragons they haven't discovered yet. One by one they found jobs within the tribe and stopped coming on those expeditions. Eventually, even Astrid finds a different calling.

But when Dagur came back, Hiccup needed them to help stop him. And, somewhat reluctantly, they agreed. They planned on heading out and stopping him, not staying away from Berk. But then Dagur got away and they found the dragon eye.

Hiccup realizes that he's gonna have to spend some time away from Berk exploring and fighting Dagur, and he doesn't want to have to do it alone. And he doesn't have to.

They're all right there with him, just like they used to be in Riders and Defenders of Berk. They're a team again, but they're rusty and they need to learn how to work with each other and fight alongside each other like they used to.

When they find the Edge, it is an empty island. They design it together, and they build it on their own from the ground up.

They build their huts and the stables and the clubhouse from the ground up together, and they make the banners that hang in the common spaces together, and they carve the dragon figures that sit on top of each building together, and they paint the walls of the buildings and landing decks together. Those little details make Dragon's Edge their home.

Over the course of a little over a year, they become a family. They become familiar with everything about each other, from their major traits to the tiniest idiosyncrasies.

They know what time the others wake up, and their favorite foods and colors.

They make breakfast and dinner for each other and they make sure that the dragons are fed and taken care of.

They sleep in the clubhouse some nights just to be together.

They bandage each other's wounds and they always have someone to talk to when they feel lonely.

They know how to read each other's emotions, can tell when it's a bad day for someone, and know how to cheer them up.

They can tell the sounds of their footsteps apart from each other as they make their way down to the clubhouse in the morning.

They see each other before they are fully awake. When their hair is messy and their minds are still foggy.

They stay up late talking and forget to sleep.

They have an endless slew of little inside jokes and know each other's habits intrinsically.

They hear each other humming when they think no one can hear them and have memorized the others' laughs.

They get on each other's nerves and push each other's buttons in the way that only family can.

Because by the end of the year, that's exactly what they are.

HTTYD AU

Haddock-Overland (Hofferson) Family

Zephyr Hofferson-Haddock

Zephyr is Hiccup's oldest child and only daughter, At the moment this photo was taken, she is 19 years old. Her biological mother died when she was 10, and her full brother, Nuffink, was 5. (In the Canon, they are 2-3 years apart, but this age gap between the two makes my Au understandable) Her father is in a relationship with Jackson Overland. She enjoys Jack, but she isn't as close to him as her brother is cause she remembers her mother. She doesn't feel like Jack is replacing her mother, as Hiccup always reminds her and Nuffink about Astrid, her mother.

At the moment, she is the chief's advisor's assistant. She wears her mother's hairband and her hairstyle in race to the edge.

Nvm my stupid ass got rejected 💀

If he doesn't look at me the way hiccup looks at Astrid I'm sorry but I don't fucking want it.

Guys he looked at me the way Hiccup looks at Astrid

If he doesn't look at me the way hiccup looks at Astrid I'm sorry but I don't fucking want it.

The episode 'Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man' is basically just the entire plot of the books.

Hamish the second (movie version of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the second) was a Hiccup and left the treasure with a bunch of riddles and puzzles and when Hiccup found the treasure there was a not that said "Only a Hiccup could get this far." Which resulted in Hiccup being more accepted by his father and the people around him and being remembered for being his own person and not the idea of the perfect ideal heir to the throne of Berk.

There were a lot of differences like, it took Hiccup 4 years to become king of the wilderwest and 3 years to get people to follow him in the fight against Alvin to do good and the treasure in the books was hidden by Grimbeard in honour of his son rather than the other way around, but it's still very much the same premise of Hiccup discovering that being a runt isn't necessarily bad and being a funky little guy is actually a really good thing.

Also, the episode where they go to Vaneheim and get stuck because of the sentinels is like in book 2 when they go ti wherever and have to fight blind and deaf dragons with an incredibly advanced sense of smell and brutal killing methods

Rewatching Heather Report, Part 1, for the first time since starting on the Httyd books has made me realize just how similar Heather's first appearance is to Alvin's in the books.

Heather was "shipwrecked", much like how Alvin was found in a coffin at sea, both have a sea-related introduction.

Heather is trying to be friendly with Hiccup and friends, because she wants something from Berk. Alvin was trying to be friendly with Hiccup and his tribe, because he wanted something from Berk.

Heather got closer to Hiccup by helping him with his forging. Alvin got closer to Hiccup by helping him with something.

Heather worked for the Outcasts. Alvin worked for the Outcasts.

Astrid was almost immediately suspicious of Heather, she tried to warn Hiccup. Toothless was immediately suspicious of Alvin, he tried to warn Hiccup.

Heather mostly succeeded in her mission. Alvin almost succeeded in his mission.

The tv-shows are probably the closest to the books than the movieverse has ever gotten.

Dragon memes by Me

“there will always be a Hiccup and Astrid, always”

If he doesn't look at me the way hiccup looks at Astrid I'm sorry but I don't fucking want it.

One thing that I wished they kept throughout the franchise was Hiccup being the smallest Viking. I wish they kept him scrawny and stringy and shorter than Astrid and the rest of the gang.

Hiccup was ostracised by his entire community for many reasons, one being his weak build and small stature.

Snotlout may be shorter than Hiccup in the movies, but he's got bigger muscles and puffs himself up. He makes up for it by acting like a proper Viking, being loud and obnoxious and always ready to start a fight - that and he can actually lift a weapon.

The name Hiccup is meant to mean small and frail - the runt of a litter or the black sheep. I want Hiccup to be the absolute epitome yet antithesis of his name. I want Hiccup to be small and unassuming and shorter than the rest. But I also want him to be Great. I want him to be brave and stubborn and hard to kill. Awkward and sarcastic at the worst of times but still kind and friendly and always dependable.

I want him to be everything a Viking is and isn't. I want him to be a peacekeeper and a warrior, an adventurer and an inventor, the son of the chief and the hiccup of his tribe. Someone who can't wield the same weapons as his tribesmen so he makes his own. Someone who wants to uphold the traditions and culture of his people yet always thinks outside of the box. The representation of this new age that's fast approaching, the line in the middle where old and new clash.

I want Hiccup to dress like a Viking, talk like a Viking, eat, sleep and walk like a Viking yet be the very last thing anyone ever thinks of when they think of a Viking. And most of all I want there to be absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I wish they hadn't made him tall and appealing in the end. I wish they'd kept him the way he was. A Viking born too early and too weak in the middle of one of the harshest winters ever experienced by the barbaric archipelago. A Viking who beat the odds and survived. He's braved every terrible winter since his birth and lives in a place where it snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. He can endure bone-freezing chills and frozen oceans but never fails to catch the common cold. He's always been a bit sickly, ever since he was a child, but he always bounces back. He's got scars and a missing leg and his hands are filled with callouses, cuts and burns, but he's soft-spoken and loves to read and never skips a meal yet can never seem to get any bigger.

I wish they could have kept Hiccup the way he was. I wish they didn't have to change him in order to have him become a worthy hero.

I wish the entire village could look at their little runt of a chief and still crack jokes about his long-overdue growth spurt. I want them to look at him and be filled with pride, cause despite the fact that he hasn't grown an inch since he was sixteen, there isn't a single person on Berk who can look at him without seeing just how far he's come.

THE FUCKING ART OHH MY GODS IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

Also real, dude really lost to Teenagers.

No because if I was Viggo I’d ALSO be fucking pissed off?? Like you’re this mastermind dragon hunter that is running possibly the largest operation in the entire of the archipelago that is family owned and ran with your older brother with hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of henchmen to do your dirty work and whenever people even MENTION your name they get scared and you’re this big strong powerful dude in his like mid forties but then a group of mother fucking barely adult stupid ass kids show up and successfully threaten your entire business model? Everything was fine yesterday but then this gaggle of incompetent fools show up with their stupid reptiles and suddenly you’re in a war??? AND the fucking malnourished stick insect of a leader they have has the AUDACITY to steal an ancient relic off of one of your predecessors ships??? AND THEN THEY BLOW UP YOUR ONLY MODE OF LONG FORM TRANSPORTATION??? AND THEN THEY RELEASE A BUNCH OF YOUR STOCK AND SINK THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YOUR PROFITS BY SAVING THE DRAGONS YOU CAPTURED??? WHAT??? MOTHER FUCKER HAD EVERY SINGLE RIGHT TO START A WAR. HICCUP AND HIS STUPID ASS FRIENDS SHOWING UP AND JUST TANKING YOUR WHOLE ASS LIFE??? IMAGINE BEING A FUCKING KING PIN CRIMINAL EXPERT IN DRAGON TRADING AND YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE WAR TO A GLORIFIED WALKING EMBODIMENT OF AWKWARDNESS AND HIS 5 WEIRD LITTLE CREATURES HE TAKES AROUND WITH HIM. IMAGINE HAVING TO SIT THERE IN YOUR COOL ASS DRAGON HUNTER EVIL LAIRE AND PLAN HOW YOU WERE GONNA FIGHT OFF THE LITTLE RUNT OF BERK HEIR GUY THAT WON’T GIVE UP. IMAGINE?? FUCKING IMAGINE????

WHO WOULD NOT BE PISSED??? THAT MAN HAD A VERY EXTREMELY RATIONAL REACTION BECAUSE THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE??? HIS ENTIRE CAREER GOT NOT JUST ENDED BUT FORCEFULLY FUCKING SLAMMED INTO A WALL OF CONCRETE AND CURB STOMPED BY A FUCKING STEAM ROLLER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. I mean sure yeah he put up the biggest fight of the century and did his whole ‘I’m gonna mess with your head until you go insane and just fuck off and leave me alone you stupid little annoying boy get a life,’ thing BUT STILL HICCUP WON THAT WAR AND THE AGE OF 18. EIGHT GOD DAMN TEEN.

Tried to redesign the riders to be a little more believable? … as in convincing but not historically accurate? Tried taking the ac:Valhalla approach, I think they look kinda cool (pls ignore hiccup he was my test & I can’t get him to look any better but this is more abt design than polish I guess)

The helmets were kind of a nightmare and irl Viking’s defo wouldn’t wear any of those designs but I wanted it to still feel like their helmets. Snotlout esp needed his horns they’re too cute I’m sorry.

here me out… i’m debating doing this with astrid (and i mean like first movie/ROB astrid not rtte) or with dani bc i feel like it could work for either of them and i got this idea from listening to “meant to be” by bbno$. BUT- astrid/dani is in a “secret” relationship with reader, and when they get confronted over it, they just deny it and reader’s sorta had enough bc they want an actual relationship with astrid/dani.

and maybe a series… pls i just need to know if i should write this

Hi!! this blog is really just for me to get my thoughts out. Mostly fluff and occasional angst since that’s what i feel comfortable with. This is a safe space for minors since there is no NSFW on this blog and most likely never will be. I will not be discussing my age or any personal information. I am a lesbian and write romantic stuff for female characters only. I will write for:

Astrid (HTTYD) (platonic or romantic)

Heather (HTTYD) (maybe idk yet)

Hiccup (HTTYD) (platonic ONLY)

Val Ortiz (Inside out 2) (platonic or romantic)

Riley Anderson (Inside out 2) (platonic or (romantic?)Haven’t decided yet)

Dani (Inside out 2) (platonic or romantic) (She’s such an underrated character and literally no one talks about her.)

Any of the stardew valley bachelorettes.

There are spoilers for HTTYD 2 below: (sorry I didn’t warn before).

They really did Astrid dirty in the second film. It’s pretty much her fault that Berk gets attacked and Stoick dies, because she goes on that rant to Drago. Yes, sometimes she’s hot-headed and impulsive, but she’s not stupid especially when it comes to military tactics.

I’m also not saying characters aren’t allowed to make mistakes, but no one in universe really seems to care about what Astrid did. She never gets a chance to make up for it, and gets reduced to nothing more than Hiccup’s cheerleader by the end. Now, I love supportive Astrid, but she needs to be more than that.

Literally all they had to do was have Eret be the one to tell Drago that the Riders of Berk were coming after him and that the man on the Night Fury will come for them when Drago is physically threatening to kill him. Then he can still have the same redemption, but it would be even more impactful and Astrid wouldn’t come off looking like the moron she isn’t.

Happy Birthday Hiccup!! Crazy to think four years have passed since the last one. Here’s to another 4 years in the HTTYD fandom! :)

This is ADORABLE.

🍓 — having you

Thinking about how Snotlout and Tuffnut slapped Hiccup’s ass in HTTYD3.

Wondering how much ass slapping the Riders got up to on the Edge. 

Oh no— 😭😂🤣🤣

The Derry Girls/Dragons crossover we need

Hiccup: Thank you guys for being here during this trying time. It's just so sad to think that he's gone...

Snotlout: You thought he was a dick.

Hiccup: I did not!

Tuffnut: I definitely heard you call him a dick.

Ruffnut: So did I.

Heather: Not to interrupt, but everyone does see the dead body in the room, right?

Astrid: It's just Mildew, Heather.

Heather: It's Mildew's corpse. It's Mildew's dead corpse.

Fishlegs: What were you expecting? It's his wake. Haven't you ever seen a dead body before?

Heather: Of course not!

Snotlout: Thor, the Berserkers are weird.

Ruffnut: You can touch his face if you want.

Heather: I don't want - why would I want?!

Ruffnut: It's nice.

Heather: Stop it! Stop touching Mildew's dead corpse!

Astrid: Calm down Heather, we're all going be one some day.

Heather: Oh, thanks, Astrid! Yeah, that's helped!

Snotlout: It really makes you think, doesn't it? Death... makes you want to do everything... and try everything...

Fishlegs: What's going on, Snotlout?

Snotlout: Want to see something class? *pulls out a box of scones*

Astrid: Scones?

Snotlout: Aye.

Astrid: What's so class about scones?

Tuffnut: Scones are lovely.

Fishlegs: Aye, I like scones!

Snotlout: These aren't just any old scones. These are funny scones.

Ruffnut: They do look like a crack-up, to be fair.

Fishlegs: They're drug scones! He's put the drugs in the scones!

Snotlout: Too fucking right I have. I wanted to do brownies, but this was the only recipe my ma had. Besides, everyone knows drugs aren't illegal when you put them into food.

Hiccup: Is that right? I don't think that's right.

Mrs Ingerman: *entering* Any cups up here? *snatches the box of scones* I'll take those downstairs. *leaves*

Hiccup:

Astrid:

Tuffnut:

Fishlegs:

Ruffnut:

Heather:

Snotlout: WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!
