[kandymation]

yeessss!! I did it!! I finished the thing!! :D  sorry for the crappy background tho ;-;

this is based on hiilikedragons's Wild Hearts chapter 11 (I friggen love that chapter so much OuO )

I also used kudalyn's version of Feral!cup's outfit because it's freaking perfect :)

[kandymation]

Soooo… I stayed up late sketching cause I always feel so inspired at night for some reason and instead of drawing hiccstrid I just went for some Feral!cup

Im reeeaaallly loving hiilikedragons' fic Wild Hearts and im excited for chapter 10 OuO yiss

sorry if this is bad I didn’t use any pose references cuz I was too tired..doesn’t look too awkward I hope ;-;

Lol I think you just gave me emotional whiplash. But hey, I ain't complaining. Now all I need is a little feral!Hiccup. Preferably with some licking, yes? ;)

Feral!cup for the lovely anon! Though you’ll have to be patient for a little bit longer if you want licking. ;)

How would a female version of feral!Hiccup fare in that AU

Perfectly fine!  I know I've talked about this before… but I can't find it anywhere!  Ugh, I'm so annoying with tagging. u.u

Basically, much like in fem!Hiccup AU, there's not many differences between male!hiccup and fem!Hiccup… particularly in personality.

In fact, I'd say even less changes between the two.  She didn't grow up with any sort of gender roles leaving subtle behavior . Her gender is dragon as far as she's concerned.

quick HTTYD2 feral!Hiccup hair doodle

--Mostly in a ponytail… and all the "ponytail hair" is in various braids thanks to the girlfriend

How would feralcup react to loosing a leg?

Not well.  He'd start relying more on his arms for climbing and whatnot. He'd get frustrated.  Feeling trapped or burdened would be10x worse for him in that AU.  Something tells me feral!Hiccup lacks the patience and poise of canon!Hiccup, particular for working through difficult situations.  He'll grow into the same wise, old man, but in some ways he's less mature… or a bit behind behaviorally. Just a bit.

Haha, so my basic idea for future!feral!HIccup clothing came with two staples:

A. he definitely would still have his fin-rigging.  It might be designed differently, but I do see him--at that point--working on ways to manage solo-flying.

B. Having less engineering know-how and more dragon/flight know-how

And THANKS you two for these insane replies:

Maybe there would be less pockets and things? Does Hiccup know how to write? He probably has a better natural sense of direction.

Which means the design would be simpler. He might start out with just necessary straps, but he’d need covering to protect him from the wind at high speeds. What if Hiccup developed armor earlier to make it easier to roll around with dragons?

With new techniques and materials Hiccup could develop new “claws,” too. What if he discovered glass and put them so he could see but still protect his eyes? Or if he realized they could be used as a magnifier? On the other hand Hiccup would bring the knowledge of more dragons species, so maybe there are kinds who have scales that can be used for materials. Heck, living wild he probably already figured out a lot of ways to build things using natural materials and dragons scales/bones/other.

Yes, Hiccup does know how to write.  Though he could find another way to .  The body armor might be necessary after all… but I think I'm slowly figuring out ways to find "cruder" ways of holding similar things without making him all sleek and together-looking

HAha, Hiccup with goggles? Now THAT's adorable XD.  And more malleable, different armors using scales...

Hmmm, so we’re not really friends on here or anything (I’m kind of sort of new) but I’ll give this a shot:

Maybe the suit would be less gadget-y and more dragon-y? If that makes sense? I feel like Hiccup’s original suit was influenced more by his history with smithing and inventing, while enhanced by his knowledge of dragons. Feral!cup would be just the opposite, with a heavier dragon influence. So maybe instead of having so many knobs and buttons and secret compartments, it would have a little less of a refined feel: Like more feathers, scales, talons etc.  I’m not the most creative person, so sorry I don’t have specific ideas, but maybe that would be a start? 

Haha, less knobs, more dragony body parts.  Definitely tried that.  One knob I feel is important is that chest button/crank for the fin… GAH, I'm definitely not an engineer!

Feral!Hiccup question! Is Toothless still his soulmate? Like, does he fly Toothless only after the battle? What about his cloudjumper?

Yes, Toothless is still his soulmate.  Hiccup literally crashed into his brother that first night.  They become inseparable… especially with Hiccup being trained by Gobber in the forge and applying everything he learns to the tailfin.   Hiccup knows--possibly even better--the horror of losing flight. With every time he has to say "sorry Toothless, can't fly right now" he understands it's more than an inconvenience for Toothless.

His Windwalker you mean?  He still flies around with it. Sometimes he's helps Toothless practice "solo gliding" and hops on the Windwalker for it.

In the books, the Windwalker is actually a bit more like movie!Toothless. Not in attitude, but in appearance and ability.  Fitting that book!Hiccup's riding dragon and hunting dragon somehow combined to make it into the movie :

The Windwalker loves Hiccup and is loyal to him, but I think he appreciates the break in that he's way more low key than either Toothless or Hiccup. XD
