Early advertising for Riders Of Berk:
"Heather could pose a threat to Hiccup and Astrid's relationship."
Race To The Edge:
"Hey, we never said it was Hiccup that Heather was gonna have a thing for."
Astrid: (posing seductively) Draw me like one of your dragons.
Hiccup: Uh… okay… "Astrid Hofferson. Sharp Class. Speed: Unknown. Size: 5'9. Extremely dangerous, never engage -"
I've been rewatching httyd and like: I know he's your love interest but damn, did you have to show your favoritism that blatantly?
This is so cool!
I bet Viggo would be an English man riding Equestrianism or he'll be a bank robber😅.
Dagur is definitely a bandit that steals from wagons even though he comes from a rich family 😁. That or he's taking care and riding bulls, that would suit him too.
Eret is definitely a Native American enslaved by Drago (branded and possibly forced to have his hair shortened and tied), forced to steal wild horses while his tribe used to protect them and guide them (coming from his original Saami culture where they take care, hoard and help reindeers to migrate).
Honestly I guess it mostly depends on the timeline, if we're talking true wild west with bandits, natives and slavery, OR it's a modern timeline and they actually join western games! That would be so cool. Rodeo, bull riding, possibly Equestrianism performances (classy Viggo), all that kind of stuff. ❤️
Howdy Train Your Dragon??
HEAVILY INSPIRED from @tragisbawls western AU and also I believe that one “Howdy Train Your Dragon” post by @wardenofdragons
please let me know if I’ve made any mistakes in crediting but these guy’s posts were my main inspiration fr
enjoy some WIPs, currently I’m making them for reference so I can draw the gang doing some scenes
might have gone a bit insane over the festive season and fallen head first into this western AU. basically everything is the same but instead of Vikings it’s cowboys! I’m gonna colour these all and want to do more art/drawings of this too bc it has been occupying my thoughts lol
more info 👇
- set in a fictional Old West, similar to how the canon treats Viking lore and accuracy, assume this is the same 😂
- in this AU, Hiccup loses his leg before he meets Toothless in some sort of stampede/horse-related accident, which makes Stoic, the cheif of the town, more protective of him/not want him to go near them
- Hiccup finds Toothless as a wild mustang, trapped in a gorge. Hijinx ensue, Hiccup saves him, and they bond.
-Hiccup and Fishlegs live in the same town. Astrid, Lout, Ruff and Tuff are part of a group of travelling cowboys from out of town or somethin lol. Something happens and Legs and Hic have to travel with them for a bit. Haven’t worked everything out yet but if people have ideas feel free to let me know!
- Ruff and Tuff are in charge of the supplies wagon and they often confuse Barf & Belch with their arguing. The poor horses go in different directions or one of them might stop while the other keeps going 😭
- Meatlug is usually seen pulling a little wagon with extra supplies/Fishlegs rides in the wagon sometimes when they go on adventures so she ends up being the slowest in the group, similar to how she is the slowest of the gang’s dragons
- Hookfang is an Arabian horse and he has a really firey temper and has a similar relationship to Snotlout as in the canon. Snotlout made Hookfang rear up on his hind legs once, but Snotlout fell off and Hookfang left him in the dust 💀
- Astrid is the leader of the cowboys. Stormfly has little braids in her mane as that’s Astrid’s way of showing affection.
(alsomyaskboxisopenifanyonewantstodiscusthisauI AM HAPPY TO YAP-)
Dagur, What are your thoughts on Hiccup x Astrid?
Dagur: That Hiccup is definitely gonna be the henpecked husband dreading his terrifying wife! But if that's what Hiccup is into, I cannot blame him.
Eret: Because you and Mala are the the same?
Viggo: Pttff, good one.
Dagur: What?! No! No way I'm like Hiccup! I'm Astrid in the relationship!
Viggo: You feared going home because and I quote: She stared at you whole morning with her dagger sharp eyes but smiled sweetly.
Dagur: That's different! She's my queen who's in-Okay fine, I am like Hiccup. Just, you know, braver...
Eret: How?
Dagur: Because I like her bossy attitude in certain private situations.
Viggo: Well that took a strange turn fast.
Idk, you can call me picky, but to be honest, I don't really like this joke. I immediately remember those not funny jokes about «wife is bad, marriage sucks», and I don't like these vibes.
I drew this a long time ago, about a year ago, probably. I suddenly remembered about this art and felt that the world should see it.
Edit: why is it getting so much attention?
Astrid's design in winter clothes! Yay!...
In fact, I've been tinkering with this design for a long time because I didn't know what to choose. I wanted to come with something original, but at the same time, I really liked the official concept arts of winter clothing.
And in the end, I did it, but I didn't really like it, and I decided to draw a new one, but I scored and just finished off the details, and now you can see the final design at the beginning of the post.
And I'm still not too happy with what I've drawn, but I don't really care anymore.
Okay, let's get to the official designs. In GOTNF, Astrid, like all the other characters, does not wear winter clothes, which is unfortunate. In the second film, she wears quite warm clothes, but there are still bare areas. Concept art: All the designs are very beautiful and cute, but there are still bare areas of skin, and I don't want my girl to freeze.
My design: I thought the Hoffersons had a bunch of different animal skins, and some of the animals went for warm clothes, like a bear, which serves as Astrid's cape.
Sometimes I wonder what Astrid's name would be if her parents followed the tradition of Berk — giving children disgusting names to scare off trolls (or goblins, I don't remember)? Axegirl? Sharpthorn?... Skullcrasher?...... uh...... Asstrid?
I'm sorry, I can't make up names.
Oh, there's so much about the life-action movie we've been having lately. First, the leaked frame with Toothless and Hiccup, then the first trailer (which I'll talk about much later), and now this photo from the filming, where we can see the local Astrid and Snotlout, which I'm going to talk about.
Astrid, for starters. I actually really like her design from her hairstyle to her armor. Yes, it doesn't look much like the design from the original movie, but damn, the new design is still very good. I don't even have the words to say how much I like it.
And also the armor design looks like something in between Hiccup's armor and Astrid's clothes from the second movie. I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance, right?
Among the disadvantages of Astrid's life-action image, I can note the absence of small skulls and spikes on clothes. Like, these are important details of her image, which well showed her sharp and belligerent nature. And the fact that they are not there makes me kinda sad. And this is purely a matter of taste, but I would like her to have a blue shirt, not a red one (I never liked her red shirt).
And now about Snotlout. I don't even know what to say about him. His clothing design is kinda meh. There is no hatred for the actor, but, as for me, he is too thin and small for the role of a big dumb bully. Like, I don't believe that this cute guy can bully other people, especially because of their physical strength and small build.
Like, in the original, Snotlout was such a standard of appearance and behavior of the Vikings of the Berk. Big and strong, and because of it, it doesn't matter that he's dumb. And his design emphasized this well.
And here... Meh.
In fact, he looks more like 16 years old Gustav than Snotlout.
Dragon riders as ponies. Ugh, it was hard for me to come up with Fishlegs and Snotlout cutiemarks. It was difficult to finish drawing the twins, cause I was too lazy to draw them. But, fortunately, I finished them all.
Astrid is in the dark? in the void? Idk. Decide for yourself.
It was originally planned for February 14th, but I was too late. Anyway. I love these two.
I have a headcanon that Astrid and Snotlout had excellent student syndrome. Astrid — before and during the events of the first film. And Snotlout has until the second film. Like, it seems to me that killing monstrous nightmare was a way for Astrid to restore her family's honor. And Snotlout's arch in the series literally stop going out of his way for the sake of universal approval (well, more for the sake of his father).
tried this pairing
unpopular opinion
Dagur is the hottest character in the whole httyd franchise
He is just so attractive with his craziness and his beard
look at the little pookiebear, wouldn't you forgive him for anything he does
