unholygrass is my main blog and Ao3.

i was looking to see if httyd had its own version of atla's "the gang learns how zuko got his scar" ao3 tag about viggo and/or dagur and/or whoever learning how hiccup lost his leg, and with viggo at least it occurred to me that he probably just asked johann about it like

viggo: hey man what's up with the one legged twink from berk johann already pouring himself a drink: how much time do you have

For the drawing ideas. Hookfang feels like he would occasionally get his head stuck in a barrel or a bucket the same way cats sometimes get their heads stuck in jars trying to see what's inside them :)

HE ABSOLUTELY WOULD omg. what's it like to have such beautiful brain

(while I was drawing this my cat got his ass stuck in a plastic bag, life imitates art)

I'm curious. Based off the fics I see on ao3, far more people hate Stoick than I would have thought. What do we think about Stoick?

He was a bad parent

He was a good parent

I know this is an extremely nuanced question but I'm not giving you any breaks for it. Only two options, good or bad.

mild warning for violence.

thinking about a really self indulgent au where hiccup is captured by the dragon hunters in their base, and a small group of them take the opportunity to get some payback. toothless can hear the sounds of violence from the other side of the camp, and starts thrashing against the chains.

viggo and ryker, who were in the vicinity of the night fury, see this and are a bit confused. viggo realizes quickly that the only reason toothless would act like that is if hiccup's in danger, and internally he just groans and curses because by thor can't anyone here follow simple orders??

the three hunters who beat hiccup up are gone by the time viggo and his men get there, and though hiccup luckily isn't too injured, they did bruise his ribs and caused some injuries to the face. ryker asks if viggo wants to put a search party on the deserting hunters, which could take a while, but viggo has a better idea. one of the hunters left their weapon behind, splatters of hiccup's blood still on it, and viggo takes it with him.

ryker is confused, and even more so when viggo goes to the night fury and holds up the weapon in front of it. the night fury's pupils draw to slits when it smells the blood, before it scents the hilt where the hunter held it. viggo just smiles, and says he expects the dragon knows what to do. then he orders ryker to have the night fury be released.

for a moment, ryker considers mutiny as well, but whatever, whatever, if this is what viggo wants then he guesses this is what they're gonna do, just don't start crying when the night fury kills them all! the hunters undo the chains, and the night fury just stands there for a few, achingly long seconds, before it sprints off into the forest, tearing away from the camp at break neck speeds.

"well," ryker says, "guess it's gonna take us an entire day to get that dragon back."

viggo just smiles and tells him to be patient.

they wait in silence, and wait and wait. minutes go by, but just as ryker is about to ask what the hell they're waiting for, there's a chorus of blood curdling screams from the forest, followed by the unholy shriek of an angry night fury. there's a blast that lights up the trees, followed by more screams. then, it goes silent.

a little later, the night fury reappears from the forest. there's blood dripping from its maw, a fierce look in its eyes. it walks right up to viggo, and spits out a dismembered hand onto the ground in front of him.

He looks so calm when faced with certain death. Drowning is a pretty painful way to die too. But he didn't panic at all. He just accepted that shit.

I love whump and whump authors but sometimes I read a fanfic and it is painfully obvious that the author has never been friends with a physically disabled person before.

HICCUP HADDOCK | How To Train Your Dragon (2010)

[hicp]

After the Red Death explodes, Stoick runs ahead of everyone else to try to find Hiccup. Gobber and the kids show up a few moments later once Stoick has already found Toothless.

Watching their normally "stoic" chief run off shouting for his son would have already been jarring. They don't know if Hiccup survived or not. But then when they finally find Stoick again, he's collapsed to his knees with grief.

That would have been so upsetting. Their leader, normally a beacon of strength and perseverance, kneeling at the feet of a beaten dragon and almost unable to form words-- devastating. It could not be more clear that Hiccup is dead.
