Oil companies are devastating West African communities. The Niger River Delta used to be one of the most ecologically diverse places on Earth, but after decades of oil extraction the region has been ravaged.

Please, Dreamworks! There have to be more of Hiccups practicing smithing-stuff in RTTE season 5!!!
i can’t be the only artist whose art skill is somehow controlled by the time of day (or night, rather).
Me too
Jay Baruchel & Alfred Molina
Just another ‘messing around’ post :P
I watched this 2010 movie ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ yesterday, and I was thrilled that I found a Jay-Alfred confrontation scene just like in the RTTE!
(If you haven’t watched the movie and you want to check it out yourself, please skip my post, since the pictures below may spoil the movie to some degree…)
Dave Stutler & Maxim Horvath in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Hiccup Haddock & Viggo Grimborn in Race to the Edge
Thus, when I saw Horvath asking Dave for the Grimhold, it was all Viggo asking Hiccup for the Dragon Eye…
Also…
Horvath kidnapped Dave’s girlfriend Becky…
Viggo kidnapped Hiccup’s girlfriend Astrid…
When the villains were defeated, Dave and Becky kissed…
When the dragon hunters were defeated, Hiccup and Astrid kissed…
EVERYTHING’S JUST SO FAMILIAR!!! Such an interesting discovery XD
I’ve watched The Socerer’s Apprentice a few times and I’ve never realized of this 😨😨😨
Haven’t seen the Sorcerer’s Apprentice but I love this post anyways. Wow, parallels. :O
Thanks for that! I will watch the movie soon as possible :D
Hiccstrid in Race to the Edge
OKAY PEOPLE!
So, I’ve been seing SO MANY comments about how “Hiccstrid was such a mistake” or “Rtte writers really flunked the Hiccstrid” and “The writers ruined Hiccstrid in RTTE, they made a big mistake.” and even “The plot for RTTE Hiccstrid is so bad.” (and these are direct quotes)
People, I really don’t know what your talking about! I think Rtte did an amazing job with the Hiccstrid, and I know people say that it’s rushed, or forced, but I really don’t think it is. Just here me out, and you might change your mind.
So, in the first season of RTTE, it appears that the two are just “friends” (as said multiple times by both Hiccup and Astrid) which leads me to believe this: The two are just shy and unsure as to where their relationship stands. Neither have actually come out and said that they “like” each other in that special way, or have said “I love you” (they still haven’t, but honestly that’s what makes RTTE Hiccstrid all the better, and I’ll explain that later on) so both are unsure. Hiccup knows he likes Astrid, because as he said in Blindsided, he’s thought about it a lot. And Astrid obviously likes Hiccup, after all that blushing and studdering and worried looks and those talks with Heather, I mean, it’s pretty obvious. But neither one wants to push it on the other, just in case the other doesn’t like them in return. It’s just that over the years since Riders/Defenders of Berk, they’ve come to terms with the fact that they’re “friends”, since neither have stood up and said anything against that fact. They’re both just shy, nervous, and unsure of their feelings. Typical teen feelings.
But they’re around 18 now, and the feelings haven’t really depleted at all for either of them, and RTTE shows this perfectly.
Season 1:
I mean, just look at Hiccup! These two are normally shown- through out the entire show- as either standing by each other, or near each other. And it’s also shown that Hiccup laid out the Edge so that Astrid’s hut was closest to his. It’s just these small, subtle little moments scattered through out Season 1 and 2 that make Hiccstrid look like it’s just starting, or has still hung on. Like maybe the two do have feelings for each other, but are still able to hide them. (From each other anyways. Us, the audience, and Heather obviously pick up ont his type of stuff right away. XD)
And then “Reign of the Fireworms” the two were teasing each other playfully, suggesting that they enjoy having fun with each other and playfully annoying the other. Very cute, in my opinion. And it’s not too STRONG either, but gradually becomes more noticeable.
And here in Season 2:
Here, it’s obvious Hiccup’s concerned for Astrid, especially when he volluntears to stay behind and sleep in the arena with her and Stormfly, and the others all joinn in to, when later Fishlegs explains that Hiccup wanted to “support” Astrid.
Hiccup rescues Astrid from drowning, and acts extremely panicked when he notices she’s gone and not responding. I mean, yes, Hiccup would probably done this with the other riders, but he seemed extra concerned since it was Astrid.
THIS. And this is when we really start getting the “Hiccstrid” feels. I mean, before this, in the other episodes, we would not have really noticed the Hiccstrid if we hadn’t been looking for it. Otherwise, we would’ve thought “Oh, they’re teasing each other. How cute. I think they might like each other?” that kind of thing. But this, where Astrid half hugs Hiccup and says “But I still have you” it’s quite obvious she’s very slightly hinting at something. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Season 3:
AND THIS. This is when we really get it! This is where all the other little moments have led to. I just love how gradual Hiccstrid processes throughout RTTE. It’s all gradual, but obvious, but not too obvious. And the Buffalord Soldier only helped with this. It wasn’t too much, and they didn’t kiss right away. It was just simple actions and words, but it was still so simple and clear. But not pushy either. And the words “I can’t imagine a world without you in it” coming from both of them to each other was just beautiful, and so perfect and fitting.
In “Stryke Out”, the only real Hiccstrid we get is when Hiccup and Astrid hug, but again, it’s just this simple little motion and the looks passed between them that is shining through. It clearly hints at Hiccstrid, but again, IT’S NOT FORCED. It just happens, and it flows very nicely. Fishleg’s also states that “Astrid would’ve killed you (Snotlout) if we hadn’t found Hiccup.” saying that Astrid was very worried and concerned for Hiccup’s well being.
This part just made me smile, because of how awkward and genuinely surprised they both are at this physical contact. Astrid’s face is priceless, and it clearly states that she wasn’t expecting their hands to touch. This little moment is just another example for how gradually Hiccstrid’s relationship is growing.
Here, in “Last Auction Heroes” is another small gesture between the two, a kind comforting gesture that Astrid offers Hiccup when they get captured and lose their dragons, Berk’s gold, and well… everything. It just shows that the two are very supportive to each other, and that they still don’t have to speak words to make this point clear. It’s another thing that the writers did amazingly, was just all the movements and hints that made Hiccstrid seem more real.
NOW WE GET SEASON 4!
In Midnight Scrum, the two interact even more. Hiccup and Astrid have a private conversation int he Great Hall, and then later on, Astrid helps rescue Hiccup and helps him walk when he loses his medal leg. Again, support, but it’s not forced, or over load. It’s just right, just enough to get the point across that Astrid wants to be there for Hiccup and wants to help him.
In “Dire Straights”, again we get to see Astrid worried about Hiccup, and Hiccup glad for her comfort. It’s just a few sweet gestures and words, but it is still a beautiful show that their relationship is gradually making it’s way up tot he point it’s at in HTTYD 2.
In “Out of the Frying Pan” we see Astrid is about to give up to the heat, but Throk reminds her to stay awake for Hiccup, and she does, for HICCUP.
*takes deep breath* So, “Blindsided” is the episode where the dams break, where they can’t contain their feelings anymore. Hiccup is very concerned about Astrid, and Astrid is starting to despair. Hiccup again offers his support. and since Astrid is blind, there is some more… well… touching and stuff. *winks* and it just brings stuff to mind for both of them, making them realize that they did like each other. I thought that, yeah, DreamWorks probably could’ve figured out a better way to actually get them together, other then making Astrid blind, but it still worked out very well, and I think that the Hiccstrid development is still very good in this, and not over-board, forced, or fakey.
In “Shell Shocked Part 1″ We get to see them again, rather awkward bout everything still, and trying to hide it from the others. We also get to see Astrid’s concern for Hiccup, and it’s obvious she’s worried about him.
In “Shell Shocked Part 2″ we get to see that, again, Astrid is worried about Hiccup, and she doesn’t want him to get hurt and even suggests he go back and stay safe. Hiccup firmly states that they have to go on, keeping their feelings aside during battle, just like they’d done for years. By this time, Heather has pretty much figured out what’s going on, and the others are beginning to notice something going on between Hiccup and Astrid, although none of them (but Heather and Fishlegs) really notice anything is going on romantically. Viggo captures Astrid, forcing Hiccup to make a choise, Astrid killed or handing Viggo the Dragon Eye. Hiccup tosses the Dragon Eye into the volcano, freeing Astrid when Viggo jumped to catch it. After Viggo’s death, Astrid apologizes to Hiccup for not listening to him, but Hiccup just says that she had to let him know what she was thinking. The two therefore share a kiss, right in front of the other riders. Hiccstrid is now official.
The reason I wanted to explain all this, is because I really don’t believe Hiccstrid was rushed, forced, or poorly done at all. I think it worked it’s way up gradually to the point it’s at, and I think it was all done very wonderfully. It’s difficult to get this type of relationship just perfect, because it is a branch off of an original film, and to make it harder, it’s placed between two films, making getting the characters right all the harder. But I think DreamWorks did it VERY WELL. They worked it up gradually, with many little gestures, and moments in between the big noticeable moments, which makes it so much better.

Reblog if you're a HTTYD fan and you're 12 years or older!
My friend says it’s a little kids movie, let’s show him that he’s wrong!
At my 43. Birthday the 4th season of RTTE was coming out.
It was the best birthday ever!
As Lemmy Kilmister (RIP) said: If you think you are too old for Rock and Roll then your are too old for it.
Same thing with HTTYD. I love reading francobelgian comics like Natasha and Sammy & Jack, looking good animated TV-Shows and movies - and I don ‘t have a problem to stand for my spleen/hobby.
How to train your dragon (shows and movies) has a high standard in quality in case of the art of storytelling and the animation. There is nothing compare to it!
Thank you so much Dreamworks!
Badass Hiccup.
Best Fightingscene of Hiccup since the Zippleback-Experience.
It’s about time that the gang will see him fighting like a fierce animal.
I’ve noticed that everyone in the fandom has been saying that the first RTTE Hiccstrid kiss was during sunset. As a photographer who is obsessed with lighting, it’s a sunrise guys.
Sunrises are small, only really seen on one side. Sunsets are huge and basically make a 360° around you.
Also, going to Berk for Gothi and bringing her to the Edge would take awhile. Also the treatment for blindess would take a few days if not a week. Making the kiss not at the end of the day in Blindsided.
The Hiccstrid kiss was during a sunrise. It’s a beginning not an end. (And it was totally perfect).
I wish we got blacksmith hiccup in the new season it's one the things I love most about his character.
I wish we got blacksmith Hiccup in ANY season. There’s a whole wishlist of mine, and smithcup is on there. Man, I’m a fan of a man in an apron. Le sigh.
It is sad he seems to be really stepping away from it in the TV show. Maybe now that he’s no longer going insane trying to outmanuever ‘enemies’?
A nice episode where Gobber’s away, or down with the pox, or something, and Hiccup gets called back to Berk as the temporary smithy (leaving the edge to someone else oh wait what edge?) and Hiccup’s back in action taking orders and throwing things together and pulling levers and he’s finding it easier, if a little awkward…
oh and his leg is pinching and he’s hitting his head on this same beam he never used to have issues with and his stress starts to grow with this suddenly unfamiliar environment (and maybe his mind is on the Edge and how it all went wrong) and it takes Astrid pointing out a noticeable limp (and the fact that he’s in pain) for him to slow down and make himself a new leg.
that’s something that I’d like
Totally agree! He was smithing at the egde before (mentioned) but to SEE him smithing again would be awesome and an eyecandy. C’mon - I mean look at his torso: the scaledleather amor shows a nice structure of chestmuscles and abs under it. Aaaaaaand maybe it’s a possibility to create the ejectable/retractable type of inferno and the swissknifestyle leg. The story-idea up there is very neat.
Thanks to the creators and talent behind Season 3 of Dragons: Race to the Edge. Be sure to watch all new episodes of Dragons: Race to the Edge on @netflix!
Incredible guys, blessed with enormous talents that makes a mindblowing season 4! Can ‘t say how greatful I am for the wole HTTYD-stuff, but especially for the new season. It starts on my birthday and turns it into the BEST day of my life! Thank you all!

When Dreamworks says season 4 is gonna freak you out:
When it comes out:
After finishing whole season in a night:
Aand trying to go back to your life:
I.FREAKING.LOVED.THIS SEASON!!!
Yep! Dreamworks did a perfect job! I ‘m speechless and the whole team have my honest respect. It was absolutely worth to wait for this amazing spectacle!
