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?
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

Thinking about how Hiccup in the movies is a total mamas boy who grew up without a mama
After I made this post I realised I completely forgot Fred from Scooby Doo
Sometimes you just need a character that has the words 'white guy' as a part of their character arc
What was the best book in your opinion?

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.
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.
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
None of yall like Hiccup the way I like Hiccup, like, I like him the most because he's literally mine, he was made specifically based off of me, I'm literally him, he's me, yall just don't get it
Me with Ur art
I’m getting more confident with drawing him methinks
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
some sketches for book 2!! its mostly me trying to figure out how to draw toothless😭
I FORGOT TO ADD THE FRECKLES BUT ITS CUTE STILL
Thinking about how Hiccup and Wish would get along so well if they ever met and Camicazi and Xar would go rob rich people together and Fishlegs and Bodkin can just sit and talk
WHY DO PEOPLE DRAW BOOK HICCUP AS A PRETTY LITTLE HANDSOME MAN LIKE NO HES UGLY REP GIVE US A SILLY LOOKING GOOFY GOOBER
U guys should give me httyd doodle ideas since I'm gonna go on a plane in like, 2 days and need to keep myself entertained
Sometimes I look at art and think "I'm definitely coming back later to look at this." And this just happens to be one of those arts
‘There he acknowledged the wild applause with solemn bows to the right and left, slightly spoiling his dignity with the odd “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” of smug self congratulation.’
YAY ive finished reading book 1!! i had so much fun reading it

anyways hope you guys like this toothless and hiccup drawing i made, have a great day!
Hellspawn- I mean Whispering Deaths.
Dragon memes pt. 2 (Hiccup Time (+Dagur, Astrid, Heather)bc he's my favourite and I said so)
I literally despise people who ship Grimmel and Hiccup like, what part of Hiccup literally taking off his prosthetic leg just to make Grimmel fall to his death makes that ship appealing? 😭
Also Drago was the best villain and the light fury was awful. I'm only on tiktok for the Hiccup edits and advice on how to get good at titan uprising 💀
Confession time but I literally can't stand the HTTYD fandom on Tiktok
