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

Romance

So I was hoping to put a bit of romance into my series. Nothing severe, like kissing. Just hugs, the occasional display of affection, and looking out for each other in battle.

Note that all the children are within a similar age group, and that I do not want any sort of incest in this!

If you're confused and want context, go to my other posts, then come back to the poll.

Httyd, Next Gen.

IVE DONE IT, PEOPLE!

After days of writing, trying to find proper names, and (trying to) make it as accurate as possible, I present to you my version of the next generation of dragon riders in httyd (in this AU)!

*(Btw, the descriptions are from a series of stories im making, so it will contain a shit-ton of lore. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Zephyr Haddock - The eldest of the Haddock children, and the future heir to Berk. She reflects her fathers sarcasticness and creativity. She rides a Stromcutter she named Skysplitter. She is also the unofficial leader of the next generation of Dragon Riders, and is willing to protect all of them, especially Nuffink, when they are in danger. She often feels pressured by this new role, due to the fact she was placed in it overnight, but is guided by Avery. She feels guilty and feels as if it is her fault that her parents, and Berk, are in the state they are in in the first place. She doesn't like to talk about it all that much.

Nuffink Haddock - The youngest of the Haddock children, and while not the heir, still the Chief’s son. Unlike Zephyr, he reflects his mother’s traits of being adventurous and brash. He rides a green Nadder named Buckwing. He tries to help Zephyr the best he can on Dragon’s Edge, but sometimes goofs off with the cousins and Eira. He doesn’t like hearing about Berk, because it reminds him of his parents and the condition they are in.

Scullnut Thorston-Jorgenson - The son of Snotlout and Tuffnut (fraternal mother was Ruffnut). He inherits both of his fathers’ chaotic personalities, while also reflecting their loyalty to their old team. He rides a Typhoomerang named Glowtorch. When he escaped from Berk, Thornut wasn’t on the best terms with his parents (there will be TONS of context on that later). He feels guilty about it, and often feels like they ended up in their condition because of him. He takes his guilt out on the other riders in various forms, like questioning Zephyr’s leading, disobeying Avery and running amok on Dragon’s Edge with the cousins, and often zoning out during combat lectures. (He just doesn’t know any other way to deal with it, and certainly is not the type to talk about his problems).

Runa Ingerman - The daughter of Ruffnut and Fishlegs. She inherited Ruffnut’s chaotic personality and Fishlegs’s love for dragons, so the result was a chaotic love for dragons (I seriously don’t know how that would work out). Runa rides Fogs and Gust, a Zippleback from the Hidden World. She and Scullnut are thicker than the hairiest yak on Berk, because I mean, they are cousins, after all. They often secretly go on little adventures around Dragon’s Edge, just to loosen up a little. They also try not to think of the state Berk, and their parents, are in, afraid of what might’ve happened to them.

Arne - The eldest child of Dagur and Mala, and the future heir of the Defenders of the Wing, and the Berserkers. He reflects his mother’s traits, being calm and collected in times of danger, and knowing when the right time is to strike. He rides a Thunderdrum he named Waves, and often helps Zephyr as second-in-command of the riders, and keeps everyone, especially Eira, in check. He also comforts the riders when they feel at their lowest, and assures them that they are going to defeat Zelda and get their islands and people back.

Eira - The youngest child of Dagur and Mala. She inherited her father’s red hair and wild personality, and his fighting skills as well. She rides a Triple Strike named Wildeye. She has a hobby of chasing some of the Night Terrors around Dragon’s Edge, along with the cousins (Runa and Scullnut). Sometimes even Nuffink joins them as well. But Eira does have a more serious side to her. She looks up to both of her parents (mostly her father), and refuses to believe that he fell to a crazy lady and her dragon. So, whenever someone mentions him or anything related to him, she goes quiet and isolates herself for the rest of the day.

*I'm sorry if this isn't accurate/is cringey. As I said before, I tried to make it as accurate as possible (for this AU).

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.

I adore Ruffnut

Ruffnut httyd is the character of all time, especially in rtte. She would set her brother on fire if it was funny. She almost killed a guy with dragon venom trying to save her brother. She’s a dumbass. She’s outwitted the gang’s most cutthroat enemies. Her family’s achievements are a point of pride. She hates her loser cousin for letting her brother down. She canonically smells like fish. Guys are tripping over each other trying to ask her out. Her middle name is Eugene. She’s even bisexual.

Las mujeres en como entrenar a tu dragón

Han escuchado del síndrome de triniti?, pues es un estereotipo del cine, que consiste en como, un personaje femenino fuerte, por más habilidades que tenga , siempre está destinado a , terminar su arco como la pareja del protagonista masculino

Es básicamente astrid en las películas, sonará extraño, pero en la primera película su desarrollo no va en dirección separada de hiccup, en ves de aprender sentimientos cono humildad o comprensión, su arco se basa en aser sentir mejor a hiccup, no en lo que ella quiero o aprende

Irónicamente esto no pasa tanto en la serie, al menos no las 2 primeras, donde si bien ya tiene una relación con hiccup, irónicamente se siente mas normal a su edad, donde todo es incomodidad, además de que no todos sus arcos tienen que ver con hiccup, hay capítulos que hablan de su pasado, su relación con otros hombres fuera del romance, incluso un capítulo donde le ofrece un adversario, heather, pero no en fueraza , si no en intuición

Pero todo se va al cuerno en carrera al borde, donde astrid realmente no tiene tanto abanse como personaje, casi siempre vuelve a donde empezó en las películas, siendo la mano derecha de hipo, pero volviéndose más de dependiente de el, tenemos una que otra muestra de poder,pero cae muy fácilmente en el arquetipo de damisela en peligro

Por poner 2 ejemplos, tenemos el final, donde astrid, ya mayor, ya siendo una supuesta guerrera, no se puede librarse de krogan , digo,el es poco más grande que hiccup, están en su dragón, pudo haber salido si quisiera, tenía menos ventaja con Alvin, y aún a si lo logró , y con el soldado bufalord,que al menos estaba justificado, pero al final del día es más para ver a hiccup como un héroe

Seguimos en la segunda película...donde no hizo nada, más que dar información accidental a drago, pero se siente más como algo para justificar todo, que algo que haría astrid

La tercera irónicamente es la mejor, no niego que su arco sigue concentado al de hiccup, pero irónicamente, este tiene sentido, en teoría,la película nos muestra lo que paso con astrid, que paso de ser una mocosa orgullosa y creída, a ser una guerra con los pies en la tierra,y que es realista con el soñador hiccup, es como su gobber irónicamente , que hubiera sido lindo, si hubieran seguido desarrollando a su personaje, y no volverla una damisela en apuros más

En los cortos no hay mucho que decir, excepto en el regalo de la furia nocturna, donde amo como se cae la fachada de niña vikinga perfecta

Luego vamos con heather,que creo era un gran personaje en la primera aparición, iniciando como una rival para astrid, una mujer que no necesitaba la fuerza,porque tenía la astucia, me atrevería a decir que era la vercion malvada y femenina de hiccup, pudieron seguir con el estereotipo de "la buena y la mala mujer" , pero no, al final terminan en buenos términos, se sienten más como rivales verdaderos, personas opuestas que chocan, como hiccup y patán, no como el estereotipo antes dicho , donde la única razón de la rivalidad entre mujeres son los hombres

Me gustaba este personaje, era inteligente, astuta, moralmente ambiguo, y era interesante, el problema fue carrera al borde, donde si bien sigue teniendo esa inteligencia, también se vuelve perfecta, lo cual es problemático, ya que muchas veces no se ve como una persona Real, si no como una diosa , quitándole su humanidad

Se ve en varios comentarios esporádicos,como patapez hablando de su grandeza en los mapas, brutacio alabando su comida, siendo maternal , pero a la ves ruda, siendo fuerte e inteligente más que muchos personajes, teniendo el dragón más peligroso y bonito de la serie, se siente más como una mary sue

Además de que su relación con astrid es súper extraña, porque siento que muchos de los atributos de astrid, se los quitaron, y los pusieron en heather, veamos los primeros capítulos de heather en la primera temporada, donde practican con las hachas

Volvieron a heather una guerra poderosa, pero esa no es heather, esa es astrid, eso es lo que debieron hacer con astrid, heather es un personaje que usa más su inteligencia, au astucia, que si usa, y fueron arcos muy buenos, pero como se junta con todas las caracteristicas que debieron ponerle a astrid,se siente como una mary sue más

Además de que perdono a dagur muy rápido, digo, ella pensaba que había matado a su familia adoptiva, que la trama olvida, y a su padre biológico, es muy extraño como lo perdona , se aclaró lo de Oswald, pero que paso con sus padre adoptivo?, ya saben, la razón por la que traicionó a los jinetes en su primera aparición, lo que inició su arco de personaje en carrera al borde

Vamos con las mujeres que no tuvieron tanta participación, valka , mala , minden y atali , que aunque no lo crean, son grandes personajes , sus arcos amorosos tienen mucho sentido , y no son solo para adornar a sus parejas, en el caso de valka es para mostrar cuento le dolió dejar su hogar, y el de mala, donde encontraba una persona que la entendía...a su manera

Luego esta minden, que si su relación con patán es romántica o no queda muy al criterio de cada quien (aunque eran muy shipeables), su relación no se trata de adornar a uno, se trata del desarrollo de los 2, es lindo la verdad, me hubiera gustado que se llegara a algo más, porque francamente no entiendo lo de brutilda y patán

Con atali, pues me gusta como logran conciliar su lugar de líder y el maternal , sin tener que ponerle a fuerzas una relación amorosa, de hecho, se exploran sus relaciones con hombres sin tener que ser amorosas, como la admiración hacia hiccup, y su relación de paciencia con patán

Y por último mi favorita, brutilda,es un personaje no tan esteripado, y bien desarrollado, cae en la categoría de damisela en peligro,no lo niego, pero este pequeño punto no es nada en comparación a su gran actitud, su relación con su hermano, con patapez (a la verga el ship de patapez y heather, este manda) incluso los pocos destellos de su relación de amistad con hiccup son geniales , amo su capítulo con el bebé látigo afilado

Es graciosa, loca , imperfecta, es un personaje con desarrollo consistente, al menos en carrera al borde , porque realmente no está gan desarrollada en el resto,más allá de un alivio cómico, pero eso es bueno,porque a diferencia de con heather y astrid, no nos venden humo, nos dicen como es,que quier, que le gusta, hasta donde llego

Realmente los únicos inconvenientes son astrid y heather,porque había tanto potencial,pero se desperdició por querés seguir viendo a las mujeres como diosas, o simples damiselas en peligro, amo como entrenar a tu dragon con pacion, pero es una pena que no supieran como manejar a estos personajes con gran potencial
