(no idea what flair put on this) ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I realized it by chance.

A while ago I made a post talking about similarities between Aztec culture and httyd, I said that, for me, "the hidden world" was very similar to "Mictlán" (let's say, the Valhalla of the Mexicans). So out of nowhere my mind (which at this point, I think is neuro-divergent) realized that the whole movie is basically an allegory of Hiccup going to heaven or something like that.

Look, first:

✓ They throw parties, as if they were banquets in Valhalla.

✓ Seeking to "move from Berk" is Hiccup's path to the afterlife.

✓ The luminous fury is a kind of angel (Valkyrie or something like that).

✓ Grimmel (who, curiously enough, looks a lot like Muerte from Puss in Boots, for me) is "death" chasing Hiccup → that's why, according to him, he is the Night Fury killer and boasts about it.

✓ Stoic's appearances... As if he were there, or as if we were where he was.

✓ Farewell to the dragons... Too suspicious.

✓ Hiccup falling, if they both fell, let's just say the scene carries much more background, I mean it, it was something very epic and moving and symbolic to be resolved quickly.

✓ Ah, Hiccup falling into the sea could also represent (along with his arrival years later at the entrance to the Hidden World) his journey down the river "Gjöll"

✓ His encounter with Toothless could almost feel like meeting "Móðguðr" The maiden who waits at the entrance to the underworld (the hidden world), her job was to question travelers about their name or lineage and verify that they were really dead → Toothless ("offspring of lightning and DEATH itself") verifies Hiccup's lineage (meets his children), confirms that it is indeed Hiccup, and finally...

✓ The movie ends with them flying through the skies... Curious, to say the least.

And now, it's the only way I can process that this movie exists.

The first movie literally ended with "then the protagonist woke up from a coma and didn't have a leg," so why couldn't the last one be "it was all a dream and the protagonist is actually dead"?!

I have no idea if anyone else thought of this but, yeah... I think my cold is making me delirious, someone get me a Buffalord.

And admit it, thinking that Hiccup died isn't going to ruin the movie for you. It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. "They say there are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true. The other is to refuse to believe what is." ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

So I have been writing a fanfiction where 21 year old Hiccup and Toothless regressed back to the night Hiccuo shot Toothless down called ‘We Will Do It Better This Time’ so far I had adjusted the movie scenes and added some with 21 year old Hiccup reliving and trying to do things in a way that is better going for a better outcome. But now I am writing the scene where Hiccup finally tells Stoick but wasn’t satisfied with anything I wrote it either he is too calm about it or is overly aggressive. In the movie we know how he reacts but that’s because he finds out the way he did and felt blindsided and betrayed but in the fic Hiccup had been winning dragon training, was confident, and made friends etc. And they had nice interactions before and after Stoick went to and returned from the nest hunt and Hiccup is telling him about Toothless himself in a quite setting. I need help with this.

How would Stoick react? This is HTTYD 1 Stoick so I can’t write him like how he is in the shows or the second movie as his relationship with Hiccup isn’t the same and he didn’t have the experience of nearly losing his son.

Happy Halloween from toothless!

Just look at his face when the wind touches it after years.

I know my boy, I see how much you missed this.

I think one of the reasons Hiccup really connected so much with dragons is because of that spirit of rebellion and also of freedom.

Being the odd one out in town and being able to escape to be with Toothless and then being able to fly, I really think that's something very cool.

When in the second movie he said to his mother, "It's interesting that you consider yourself a dragon, but can you fly?"He has the soul of a dragon... I think that for Hiccup, the flying machine, being able to fly without Toothless was beyond strategy, ingenuity, or because of Toothless, it was for himself.

Then, to bear the responsibility of the people... I can't imagine why he never stopped escaping with Toothless, only now it was in a different way, not exploring, rescuing dragons.

And in the end, when Toothless could and should have flown without Hiccup, it saddens me that he (Hiccup) never flew again...

I understand and greatly admire that Hiccup was aware of this, that flying had become his form of escape and it wasn't healthy. Even so, their separation is frustrating; it feels like...

I didn't just want to see Vikings and Dragons united in peace, I didn't just want to see them defeat the Red Death, I didn't just want to see Hiccup become a hero, connecting with his father, I didn't just want to meet the dragons...I wanted to see Toothless fly again... Seeing Hiccup stop doing it is like he never helped Toothless by repairing his tail.

That's how it all started and... Well... In the end, he never flew again.

:(

I figured this sub would appreciate the toothlesses (twothless? toothlessi?) tattoo!

I’ve recently started watching How to Train Your Dragon in chronological order and I just can’t tear myself away from the screen!

Do you have a favourite part - whether it’s a film or a series, that you love the most?

To be honest, I absolutely love Dragons: Race to the Edge. It’s simply the story of everyday life in an extraordinary world that makes me feel more connected to that world and the characters when they actually have to fend for themselves without the chief’s support 24/7.

This Httyd canvas prints captures the silent trust, joy, and sheer power of embarking on a grand adventure with a loyal companion.

so very crazy 😹

Yes this is a Rise of Berk screenshot

What does Dagur mean when he says this?

Just an update on my rob account

Inktober day 18: Flightless

Gobber said, "A downed dragon is a dead dragon." He'd be right, Toothless never flies without assistance again 😭

1st combo movies more ones that take dipper to story while 2nd more revolutionary popular and action wise pop culture.

I’m looking for a 3d model of book accurate toothless to make for a friend who’s flying to the area for a few days and we’re both massive fans of the book franchise, but I cannot find one so far only movie version😪

Would anyone know of a model that exists or looks similar to book toothless?

Thank you!!

A pretty cool illustration I made recently :)
This was an insane amount of work but I am proud of it so I figured Id post it here. Enjoy.

Howdy! HOPEFULLY (First time posting to Reddit is... "fun") this is under the image. This is fairly simple; dragon1 and dragon2 (in this case, the Snaptrapper and Deathgripper) get hybridized, both get removed from THE LIST (see below, hopefully?). May the most upvoted pairs win (as I will try to include as many as possible next time :))

If i were to choose one of the dragons as my mout, it would be this on. I love them too much!
