HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2010) — dir. Dean DeBlois

Your love for him was the messiest, silliest, most predictable thing in the universe. And it always made me smile.

God I love drawing him so much. This was painful tho. I struggled with the hands and the gold for literal hours. Worth it tho.

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

RTTE is so quoteable. I mean we got “Friends, my yak bladder runneth over” and “I'm gonna go outside and scream into the ocean until that vision is ripped from my brain” all in the same episode and somehow those two sentences aren’t related

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

Volviendo a una antigua idea.

Oh, bird that signals the break of dawn, Couldn't you have time stop at this moment? Shooting star that gently goes through the morning, Please fall down here oh, fly me to the star Please take me along, oh, fly me to the star

i've been feeling nostalgic for them

[mx-dragon-faye]

And here we see the terrifying unholy offspring of lightning and death itself, the Night Fury that never misses and that could kill you in an instant, the dragon who your only chance of survival when facing it is to hide and pray it does not find you…

…definitely super terrifying. You should be shaking in fear right now, clearly.

Jack's pod mainly consists of Light Furies and LF!dragonwalkers. Dragonwalkers usually stick with the same dragon species due to similar temperaments, feeding patterns and behaviour, but not always. Though not necessarily related, they treat each other as family. The leading group of the pod, more often than not are blood-related. Jack's pod is led by his mother, whose mother led before her. Her children would eventually succeed her in leading their pod when she passes, and she has taught them all that she knows.

They're a migratory group, often following the whales in the ocean, going from colder climates to feed, and to tropical waters to breed and reproduce. The younger dragon walkers may choose to go their own way and make their own flock when they mature or stay with the pod.

And as for turning others into dragonwalkers via biting, in this au biting a person wouldn't be enough. Transforming others usually involves a ritual to go with the bite. It's a well-kept secret among dragonwalkers, and each species has its own rituals.

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West au for Jack and Hiccup!

For my version of this au, I imagined Hiccup as a former Sky Clan Tenakth who now lives with the Oseram in the Forbidden West, while Jack is a Nora outcast (I couldn't decide between white or brown hair for Jack, so you get both.).

Jack is the one who finds a Focus first and then shares that knowledge with Hiccup. I love thinking about what connects characters and why they’re drawn together, and in my mind, Hiccup already sees machines and the old world differently from everyone else, but he’s missing information to truly understand it.

He sees that Jack is actually using the Focus rather than treating it like an accessory, and Jack chooses to share it with him, offering that missing piece of the puzzle that Hiccup needs to truly understand the metal world. This turns out to be what Jack needed, because while Jack is smart, Hiccup is able to piece things together that jack wouldn’t have been able to do on his own, so they quickly end up relying on each other. I really wanted that trope of working together because: “you have something I want” until that becomes: “you are what I need.”

So, together, they explore the metal ruins and uncover the truth behind the Old World. Hiccup gets a machine companion (Toothless), and Jack gets a glider.

I’m also playing with the idea that all machines have ai like gaia did, so they’re actually capable of feeling and learning (it would probably depend on the species though, I don’t imagine a thunderjaw would be very fun to try and domesticate…), because I want Toothless and Hiccup to have the same connection as they do in the movies.

As for the designs, I mixed and matched elements from the artbook and the game itself. I have so many thoughts written down from designing them and from all the differences I noticed between the clans, but it’s literally pages long. If anyone wants me to ramble about that and share some of my thoughts, let me know!
