In httyd book 2 we know that Hiccup is 11 because he is no longer 10 but he hasn't turned 12 yet. But in the beginning it says that he's had Toothless for years as in plural which means it's been more than 1 which implies that Hiccup is due to turn 12. Bit since his birthday is in February that means that the events from book 2-5 all happened all within January. So within the span of a month Hiccup almost died to a monstrous strangulator, got kidnapped by Romans, almost died of vorpentitis and surfed down an erupting volcano on a dragon.
This actually did happen to me a little over a week ago
Hiccup: Last night I was crying while listening to Spotify and the wii sports tennis theme started playing so I just cried harder.
Fishlegs: Are you okay mentally?
Hiccup: Gods no.

he has no energy and two very insistent boyfriends
Old drawings dump becos they’re kinda funne
On a road trip so here's a wobbly doodle of Hiccup beaming over his first child.
I told my sister about this and she got mad at me because he's ugly but like, that's the best part 🤷
Confession: when I was 5 my sister would read the httyd books to me and I had the fattest crush on Hiccup
Hiccup: sometimes I think God stays in heaven because he's afraid of what he's created.
-----------------------------
Fishlegs: I've had enough. *eats fibre glass wall insulation*
------------
Camicazi: Is being left handed a disability?
Hiccup: What the fuck did you just ask me!?
--------------
Fishlegs: I wanna chew ice.
Hiccup: you have an iron deficiency.
Fishlegs: FUCK!
----------------
Camicazi: what's trigonometry? Is it like a type of stick?
Hiccup: it's a branch of maths regarding the study of triangles.
Camicazi: so if it's a branch of maths then it's a type of stick?
Fishlegs: oh lord help me.
---------------------------
Camicazi: I'll bite you.
Fishlegs: tbh you're so short I'd just assume you were a teething baby.
Camicazi: I hope you enjoy staring at coffin lids.
Camicazi: The door is locked give me your credit card.
Hiccup: *gives her his card*
Camicazi: *pockets it* Thanks.
*Texting*
Hiccup : Dad, there’s a moth on the outside of the bathroom door can you get rid of it?
Hiccup: Pls hurry because I’m going to cry
Hiccup: Dad
Hiccup: Dad
Stoick: Your dad is dead. You’re next. Love, Moth
Modern au hiccup
hiccup horrendous "gaslight" the third back in his cage looking at alvin like the man didn't dump him in a tree an hour ago
"be nice!" Hiccup says to Toothless in Dragonese.
Yet another reason to hate the hidden world
In the second movie Valka had eyebags and wrinkles. In the third she looked like a Victoria's secret model
THATS NOT THE SAME PERSON
Something I 100% believe in is that Camicazi is a mamas girl and Big Boobied Bertha supports Camicazi's every decision as long as it doesn't put her in danger.
Camicazi wants to dye her hair? Bertha's driving to night owl and buying hairdye.
Camicazi wants to paint her walls? Bertha's already got colour swatches.
If he doesn't look at me the way hiccup looks at Astrid I'm sorry but I don't fucking want it.
I told my friend about this idea and he said they should make them go hand gliding and their outfits will be ranked off of style and aerodynamics.
Httyd but instead of how to train your dragon it's how to train your drag queen and they have drag shows where every drag queen is given a dragon that they have to base their outfit off of

I love how hiccup and the woden's fang and the windwalker try so hard to teach Toothless manners only for him to pick a completely random "polite" word to put in front of his normal statements
Saying "please" or "excuse me" or whatever before hurling seething insults is the funniest thing I've ever read
so I made some httyd book art
Sorry he got kidnapped and taken to America ☹
So i made this lil transparent worm-on-a-string Hiccup a while back
Im leaving him here for yall to watch while i go do a Thing
Im sure when i get back he wont be in any precarious situations, or unsavory circumstances, or anything of that ilk
Anyways
Have fun
Ill be back
Made a httyd oc because at this point I just had to
I changed my mind. "I think my mother was a teapot." Is just so much deeper and emotional for me.
Favourite HTTYD quote?
"Maybe all kings should bear the slavemark to show that they're slaves to their people and not the other way around."
Relating to Hiccup in the sense of being treated like shit for being different ❤
Relating to Camicazi in the sense of being feral ❤
Relating to Fishlegs in the sense of getting angry about being bullied instead of just letting it go ❤
Relating to Xar in the sense that my older brother fucking hates me and my dad picks favourites ❤
Relating to Wish in the sense that I'll never be good enough for the people around me ❤
Relating to Bodkin in the sense that I'm scared of breaking the rules ❤
Ove gotten so invested in the httyd books and the media surrounding it that I sometimes forget the httyd movies exist
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 httyd books are amazing and I live all the characters to death (except for Alvin) but can you imagine how bad they all smelt in books 10-12?
I <3 similarities between the books and the movies
Hiccup being left handed.
Hiccup's speech in the epilogue of THW was the first thing Hiccup said in the books.
I liked how Hiccup in the movies was like he was based off a different Hiccup from the books in each movie. Like in httyd 1 he was like Hiccup the first in the sense that he was the first person to befriend and nurse a dragon back to health in thousands of years. Then it httyd 2 he was like Hiccup the 2nd because he wanted to peacefully show Drago that dragons shouldn't be enslaved and it ended in a disaster. Then in httyd 3 he was like Hiccup the third because he has to come to terms with the fact that dragons and humans can't coexist so he had to let the dragons go.
