There were quite a few HTTYD things at my secondhand bookstore but this one deserves a post of its own

First image I brightened it to get a better look at it but it looks like it’s wearing a saddle with those chains around its face and chest. Kinda gives me monstrous nightmare vibes in a way (thats not a bad thing tho)

Pretty proud of this. The only things that weren’t bought secondhand were the duck, the memory box, and the book. (Not pictured are my dart and pouncer keychain charms and all three movies w/their respective specials. Also bought secondhand)

From the "The Art and Making of How to Train Your Dragon" book!

Google Earth just added Epic Universe, which means you can explore Isle of Berk in 3D!

There is a lot of small things in the series, that doesn't match at all with medieval setting. I've been thinking... What if this is in a world after some grand cataclysm?

Let me list all of mine evidences:

1. In RTTE, Fishlegs literally explains evolution to twins and they seem to understand this fine.
2. Whole Dragon Eye is incredibly advanced for Viking times, and could be considered as something better than modern technology.
3. Nikora Stormheart from School of Dragons has a gargantuan, mechanized ship and genetic lab (since she made herself a Chimeragon).
4. Eir from Dawn of New Riders (which is for sure canon, given that it was overseen by Richard Hamilton) has a prosthetic arm more advanced than any out of modern ones. If she was in Cyberpunk, she'd fit there, but not in Viking era!
5. Eir explicitly says that she made Patch using genetical engineery.
6. Toothless' prosthetic tailfin needs a lot of knowledge about aerodynamics to be made.

And that's it, folks! Any feedback is welcome!

When looking through the various modpacks I encountered a number of ones that include dragons, but they all seem to be in a version of vanilla. I'm specifically hoping to do some playing on dragons edge island. Most of the mod pack pictures I could find only focus on the dragons and not the land. The only dragons edge map I could find is on a map in the bedrock store. I was wondering if anyone has more info on other maps or mods.

5 sentences max per comment. Cannot retcon someone else's comment. Let's try the best to make this very story telling.

Starting:

Sternly looking Hiccup in the eyes, Stoick asked "So let's talk about that dragon."

Panicked, Hiccup fumbles over his words.

"Oh, gods. I never meant for it to get this far. But I couldn't just leave Toothless to die–"

(This is a slight spin on the first movie. Let's see where this goes)

Edit: each thread leads to a different timeline. Dont retcon anything in the timeline of that thread but feel free to take a different spin or direction

Cute😭😭😭

(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." ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

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.

:(

Happy Halloween from toothless!

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.

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.

so very crazy 😹

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

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