Several years ago I came up with an idea for a HTTYD RTTE edit but never got around to doing it; I lack the necessary editing software, skills/know-how, and time. I thought I'd share it here rather than it loitering in my memory, forever only a concept~
Anyway it's a (slightly parody? meme joke thing?) Throknut (Ruffthrok? idk) edit to "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" with Tuffnut and Chicken as Timon and Pumbaa respectively. (this is about the episode Snuffnut)
Details below the cut:
(I've formatted it like: (name of person whose line it's meant to be): lyric [my idea of what the clip or visual here could be] btw. probably obvious but I'm an overthinker and I don't post much so unsure if the formatting will turn out alright.)
Tuffnut: I can see what's happening [clip of Tuff spying on Throk and Ruff when he was hiding inside the stuffed yak]
Chicken: What? [Chicken squawks, head on one side]
Tuff: And they don't have a clue [gestures or folds his arms or smth idk, he looks cross]
Chicken: Who? [pecks at ground or smth, she doesn't care]
Tuff: They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line [idk what to put for this clip]
Tuff: Our trio's down to two [clip of him holding up 3 fingers then one of him holding up 2? maybe that time in Bad Moon Rising when he asks Chicken for a "high 3" and she leaves him hanging. does Tuffnut ever give the peace sign? bc that could work for 2. can't remember off the top of my head]
Chicken: Oh. [literally could not care less. if chickens could roll their eyes you know that she would be rolling hers. (side note: if anyone who knows anything about poultry sees this, pls confirm whether chickens can roll their eyes. much appreciated)]
Tuff: The sweet caress of twilight [clip of the Edge at sunset, bonus points if from the episode Snuffnut]
Tuff: There's magic everywhere [maybe the clip of Throk's Ruffnut topiary]
Tuff: And with all this romantic atmosphere [Throk down on one knee reciting poetry]
Tuff: Disaster's in the air [a clip of Tuffnut screaming at the heavens - if there isn't one in Snuffnut, I'm pretty sure there's one in Bad Moon Rising, or in that episode when Macey breaks and the Thorstons infiltrate Project Shellfire? Twintuition I think]
Romantic chorus starts (can you feel the love tonight? the peace the evening brings, the world for once in perfect harmony with all its living things): [something like Ruff and Throk standing together and Throk takes Ruff's hand, before camera cuts to a horrified Tuffnut scuttling away on all fours]
the rest of the song doesn't really suit Throk or Ruff so it kinda ends there. although the last verse (~in short, our pal is dooooomed~) could work?? idk anyway yeah that's all I've got. do you see the vision?
If anyone does see the vision, you're more than welcome to use this! and ofc you wouldn't have to stick exactly to what I've said here, this is just my concept. or if anyone knows of a pre-existing edit with this idea, please drop the link!!
(regarding shipping... this edit idea isn't meant to be a Throknut romantic edit, more of a Tuff-and-Chicken double act thing. I'm not a proper Throknut shipper (I'm indifferent to the ship, don't love or hate it), and ik they're not canon (Throk and Ruffnut never ended up together, and Ruff stated at the end of the episode that she didn't really return his feelings), but if any true Throknut shippers see this, then interpret this as Throknut as you want and ship to your heart's content. It's fandom after all, not everything has to be canon compliant.)
If you need to know one thing about Ruffnut it is she had an axe held to her throat by someone she knew would very much kill her if they got the chance and she said bitch try me
