OTHER Did you notice the bravest Viking are the one who face the monstrous nightmare?

Post image
307 Upvotes

Okay, it's 11 PM... And I just realized that Hiccup really demonstrated his skill with dragons from the very first second.

The first dragon he encounters is a monstrous nightmare (the one that destroys his door); then he tells us that this is the dragon that only a truly brave Viking can face. Is it a coincidence that the first dragon our protagonist interacts with is precisely that one? (ever)

And not content with that, he outlived him 3 times: the one at the door, the one who chases him through the town, and Fang.

I haven't seen in any content from the franchise (literally, not comics, not series, not movies) that some other Viking has fought a Monstrous Nightmare three times. (And lil broh do it in just one movie 😭)

THEY TOLD US FROM THE VERY FIRST SECOND!

He was the bravest Viking. :')

Hi everyone!

I have 2 tickets for How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert tomorrow (October 16 @ 7:30 PM) at Meridian Hall in Toronto!

Unfortunately, my original plans fell through, so I'm hoping another HTTYD fan might be interested! The tickets are for the mezzanine section and cost me $125 CAD including taxes and fees. I'm hoping to recover what I paid but I'm open to reasonable offers since it's so last minute!

I can transfer the ticket through Ticketmaster. Feel free to DM me if you're interested! :)

MOVIE 2 I think Hiccup trying to convince Drago during the attack on Valka’s nest was the best thing he could have done.

Post image
682 Upvotes

So I really love the second movie, it is probably my favorite film of all time and I think it get’s a lot more hate than it truly deserves. And a big part of that hate is because of Hiccup’s character and I wanted to talk about why I do still really like him in this film.

The biggest complaint that most people have about Hiccup in this movie, is that he tried to convince Drago to become better, but I don’t mind it. I like it even, because it isn’t as simple as many people make it out to be.

The reason why I still like Hiccup trying to convince Drago is for 2 reasons. One being that Hiccup convincing people of his way of life is litteraly the entire point of his character. And it can work. We see it in this movie with Eret, proof that dragon trappers are indeed capable of change.

And two, Hiccup actually did fight Drago, and only after he saw that fighting wouldn’t work, did he go back to trying to change Drago’s mind.

After Stoick and Valka reunite, Hiccup is talking about what will happen when she returns to Berk.

Hiccup: And once you move back in, with all your dragons, Drago won’t stand a chance. Everything will be okay!

All throughout the movie people have been telling him that Drago was a mad man who couldn’t be reasoned with, but Hiccup did seem to change his mind after both his dad* and *mom said to him that trying to talk to Drago was a bad idea. As showed in this line, he wasn’t as focussed on talking to him anymore.

I do think Hiccup still wanted to talk to him, but I also think he was a lot more willing to fight after both his dad and his mom talked about protecting their own, and about how Drago wasn’t a man he could easily reason with.

But shortly after Hiccup talks about his mother returning to berk, Drago attacks Valka’s nest, and Hiccup takes part in the fighting. And only after Drago’s bewilderbeast killed Valka’s, did Hiccup try and go change his mind about dragons.

The riders had already lost here. Drago now controlled the king of dragons, Hiccup wasn’t going to be able to fight his way out of this and he knew that.

He looked at the situation and chose the best possible solution, because what would happen if he didn’t try and talk to Drago? The bewilderbeast would have taken control of Toothless and the other dragons anyway, and Hiccup along with the others would have most likely been captured and excecuted.

I get why some people don’t like Hiccup’s character in the second film, but I do think that in many cases it is a little unfair considering the circumstances.

People give Hiccup shit about trying to convince Drago during an active battle, but the battle was over. They lost, it was done. Drago was in control of the alpha, and by extension over all dragons. The battle was over and they lost, and Hiccup trying to convince Drago was the best thing he could have done.

If Hiccup kept fighting instead of trying to talk to Drago, nothing would have changed. If Hiccup continued with freeing dragons from traps and attacking the trappers, Drago would have focussed on him anyway. The battle was done.

Stoick and Valka were cornered by the bewilderbeast, the riders were very soon going to lose there dragons to the mind control, and Hiccup trying to convince Drago to do better was the only thing he could have done that could result in him and the other riders stopping Drago. It was the only thing that Hiccup could still try to stop this war and battle.

If you want to critisize Hiccup for thinking he could change Drago’s mind in the first place? Before everything happened? That’s fair, it was pretty naive. But Hiccup still took part in the fighting, and only went back to his original plan as a last resort when the battle was already lost.

I think Hiccup’s character in the second film is overhated and in my perspective, he was naive in the beginning of the film, but he was still prepared to fight against the trappers to protect the dragons. Hiccup did the best job he could considering the circumstances.

Let me know what you think about my opinion and Hiccup’s character in the second movie.

DISCUSSION We don't talk enough about the amazing disability rep in HTTYD

69 Upvotes

I don't see it brought up much in the community despite the fact the series brings up constantly how Hiccup only has 1 foot and I think it's funny, but we should seriously talk way more about the fact that How to Train Your Dragon is some of the best media with the best representation for disabled people in general. Hiccup has a visible physical disability but it's not something that he's ever EVER shamed or belittled for in any way other than jokes which are actually always in good taste (to my memory), same with Gobber and Gothi just to name a few. No one treats them ANY differently from any of the other vikings and I love it.

One of my favorite things that I've noticed in RTTE specifically is how much Hiccup rides Toothless rather than just walking. Toothless is like a service animal to Hiccup, specifically one that works as a mobility aid, while they're also dependant on each other and Hiccup is kinda the same for him. My absolute favorite thing, though, is how none of the characters are ever shown to really be held back by their disabilities or discriminated in any way and because if that that carries over to the community. I've never seen anyone in this community think any viking or dragon is lesser than another because of any disability at all.

Sorry for any spelling errors I type fast and read over errors when I make them and my stupid spell correct decides not to work. Also I do come at this as a person with invisible disabilities for anyone wondering which idk why you would persay but you know. Anyways, have a great day!

ART Light fury Species Rework

Thumbnail
gallery
748 Upvotes

Yes, yes, I know the millionth Light Fury redesign. I don't care. I did this for fun.

This also took a month to make, and I really want to redo everything because my art has gotten better and I have so much more to add...:'] which is why I'm posting it now before I go insane and burn out.

I'd also like to say I focused more on the species overall rather than what they look like. As the title says, it's a species rework, not a Light Fury character rewrite. However, I will talk about my Light Fury Nubless.

I'll go over each page and also add more info.

Pages 1 & 2

Making the first 2 pages made me realize that the Light Fury in a lot of fan art is really stylized. People always give her sharper wings and a flatter head. It was just something interesting I noticed.

OG Light Fury looks weird because I traced her, so that's why it might just look odd.

My Light Fury had no base tail wings because I really wanted them to have a different flight silhouette from the Night Fury.

Pages 3 & 4

I don't like these pages.

I'm a very indecisive person, and I want to change some of this. The no incisors was a quick idea that I'm now thinking of changing. I also want to change the number of teeth they have and the shape.

Light furies using their sharp lip to crack mollusks is something I do want to change.

Also, don't mention that dorsal means back; I know that I just forgot when I wrote this, and also because "head crest" didn't sound right.

Page 5

The underwater markings thing came to me randomly, and I thought it interesting as hell.

I've also got a reason, kinda. I'm thinking about the markings changing to black underwater so the Light Furies can confuse their predators. Like zebra stripes.

Also, bonus, as a marketing thing, Light Fury toys with color-changing patterns is cool.

Pages 6 & 7

Their lifecycle is similar to a salamander's, and there were a lot of people headcannoning light furies have grey babies, so I stole that hehe.

At first the tadpole dragons were a joke, and then some httyd fans pissed me off enough that I'm keeping it out of spite.

Anyway, Light Fury's having smoother skin as adults is because they basically trade defense for stealth and endurance. My Light Furies have really good endurance and can fly or swim for days on end.

Page 8

Light Furies are very social and form pods. Most of the time, dominant furies are the oldest fury.

Light Furies do not like other dragon species; they become very aggressive when other dragons are around.

Predators

For my Light Furies, they are a prey dragon in the dragon world. Skills, Submarippers, a few of my fan-made HTTYD dragon species, and occasionally Night Furies will hunt and eat Light Fury cubs or adults.

For Submarippers, they just eat anything that gets in their mouth.

Pages 9 - 16

I do want to change the patterns a bit and add one more color.

Retained Deciduous coloring is something I'm proud of coming up with. RDC Light Furies have a very bad life. They can't get a mate or leave the nest and will constantly be treated as a cub. Their camouflage is ducked up too; when going invisible, it only changes their pale scales.

RDC can come as a light fury that's still fully baby grey, or still has grey patches.

Any questions you guys have, I'll be happy to answer. I basically have a large document with a lot of info on my reworked Light Fury!!

Also, please be respectful!! I get the light fury is a hot topic for debate but I'm not really in the mood.
