How To Train Your Dragon Books - Blog Posts

some people will say that the tenth doctor was david tennants most iconic role. others will disagree and say that title should go to his role as crowley. i don’t have a side in this argument, because i know his most iconic role will always be his narration of the how to train your dragon audiobooks.

LOOK AT WHO GOT THE HTTYD BOOKS

It bugs me when people say the HTTYD movies aren't that different from the books because the shows reference the books like all the time but that's stupid because if you put movie hiccup and book hiccup in camp half-blood they'd go in different cabins

Camicazi and Stormfly, Hiccup and Toothless, and Fishlegs and Horrorcow! Finally finished tweaking the designs and made the dragons!!

here you go, do with this as you please

Cressida Cowell is such a writer's name, I swear. It was made to be put on a cover of a story about a little viking boy and his dragon doing stupid shit.

Something about the how to train your dragon books no one talks about is the intense desire you get to be a better person once you finish reading them

I adore the httyd books with a passion but I honestly think twoo is a tiny bit better. My opinion on this does vary but most of the time I truly think twoo had so much to offer. And that's not to say httyd doesn't have as much to offer, I just liked the aesthetic of twoo so much because of all the whimsical magic fairytale vibe. But twoo had so much to offer and no one really acknowledges it. And a lot of the time when they do acknowledg it httyd creeps it's way into the conversation. I think twoo was a beautiful book but it's so underrated it's honestly wild to me.

All I can imagine is a bunch of big square Vikings at the top of a cliff screaming

"SCOTLAND FOREVER‼️‼️🗣🗣🔥🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿"

At the green death

i think they should animate a book accurate httyd show in a mix of the style of like nimona and voltron and avatar i just think any one of those would work so well

I always thought along the lines of gravity falls or adventure time or something. Or that shitty httyd recap animation. That was awesome I think that style is perfect for it

Everyone I don't like has a htyyd obsession so I ask them if they've read the books and they'll all be like "the my first library picture books that came out around the same time as DOB?" And I'll be like "LOSER! NOT A REAL FAN!" just kidding they don't know about the my first library picture books that came out around the same time as DOB because they're fake fans and posers

Some shitty httyd fanarts I did fir Hiccups birthday

ITS THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY TODAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HICCUP!!

Someone needs to give Lil boy a mullet.

"I ship Hiccup and Camicazi!"

Here's a Camicazi before I continue re-reading the books🔥

If you were a dragon, what kind would you be?

I feel so cringe for saying this but I related a lot to Toothless and Horrorcow but if you're talking about movies I'd like to think I'd be a nadder :')

ok ok wait have you listened to the audiobooks? cause they’re awesome. also do you have a favourite hhtyd book + why?

I absolutely adore how to speak dragonese because I love Camicazi's introduction to the story and I think the plot and dialogue was great. I also loved the audiobook for how to speak dragonese because I think Hiccup's dialogue was voiced and acted out perfectly

If I had a nickel for every time Hiccup got knocked out by something falling on his head while on a sinking boat I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

There are people in the httyd community that I feel are famous to a degree and I follow them so when they like my posts about the yttyd books I get really excited and I feel like I'm getting a handshake from the prime minister

Do yall think if Hiccup from the httyd books met Atreyu from the never ending story they'd get along?

Can we just talk about the parallels between Hiccup and Termagant in book 10. The epilogue where Termagant is described as being separated from Fishlegs by a wall of glass, and she presses her hand against it and wills him to live and breathe again.

How earlier Hiccup had found Fishlegs in a pillar of glass, and they pressed their heads together, before Hiccup broke him out, helping Fishlegs to live and breathe again.

HICCUP AND TERMAGANT BEING COMPARED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM IDENTICALLY IMPORTANT TO FISHLEGS!!! I AM THROWIMG MYSELF INTO THE SEA!!!!!!

This reminds me of the part in book 11 when Camicazi says she's in need of exercise and Fishlegs says "this is not some Viking version of girls get fit" idk if girls get fit is a show or one of those dumbass weight loss DVDs for 7 year olds or just some random yoga class but it feels a little future reference to me.

Flipping through book 1 again and discovering

Barcode.....

What was the best book in your opinion?

please please down on my knees does anyone want to talk about the httyd books everyone ik is getting sick of me talking to them about it omg

Sometimes it feels like Tuffnut is just there to keep the same ludicrous energy the books had and I absolutely love him for it

I feel kinda bad for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II.

Imagine being a baby and having someone decide you're worthless before you can even prove to be something of importance. Being a baby on a cold mountainside just sitting in a basket in the snow with the fate of freezing to death, starving or being eaten by dragons.

And then when his dad finally does find him and take him back he's kind of outcasted from society cus he considers himself a dragon. He was raised to behave like a wild animal and speak Dragonese and then he was put in a society he'd never been apart of, a d kicked out and shamed the moment he entered it. And then not understanding what's going on or what he's meant to do because he's never been in that environment before.

And then having a brother so cruel that he tolled his father he was planning to kill him. Then his father murdered him for the sake of keeping the throne and only then did he realise he was an awful person because he killed his son even though his son was just trying to do the right thing.

I think Fishlegs parallels pretty well with Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II because Fishlegs was also kicked from his tribe and then when he finally came back he didn't understand that he wasn't welcome anymore. Not to mention he was raised by himself as an orphan, sent out to sea to drown as a literal infant, raised in an unaccepting, unbearable environment where he was mistreated so much he isolated himself in his hut for the first 10 years of his life.

Confession but I like Windwaljer better than Toothless as a companion. Like, Toothless is better in the sense that he's a lot funnier and witty but Windwalker just gives off that same loyal cozy vibe as a horse shaped dog.

One time I showed this to my friends and said "literally us" and then my friend pointed to Hiccup and said "the skinny autistic twink in the middle is me" so I punched him in the arm for stealing my identity

I can infact confirm that book Hiccup is a little skrunkly wet cat and movie Hiccup doesn't know what a HD is but his doctor said he has 80 of them, observe in this image.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third most neurodivergent character ever i am just so correct

This kid took a class to learn how to keep people off his land where he should know dang well by now that he’s supposed to yell at them and yet his first thought is always “oh I know this language here let me speak it :3”

He was terrible at writing and dexterity and everything for about ten years of his life and didn’t once consider that he was actually left handed he just thought he sucked.

When a dragon the size of a mountain washed up on his shores threatening to eat everyone he loved, he didn’t once consider hurting it. He instead decided to give it a sensory nightmare by pouring feathers in its nose to stress it out.

This is all just Book!Hiccup but don’t think Movie!Hiccup is free from this title
