i am so late to this party but omg your httyd dr???? WOWOWOW ‼️‼️ i never see anyone shifting there or at least not many people post about it😔
i always love seeing people give less popular dragons some attention 😭 like guys there are SO many cool ones out there and usually one that suits you super well if you take a little time to try and find it. a windstriker absolutely suits you so well. and buffing up your dragons abilities is so fun actually cause you really can just do whatever at that point since there’s barely any canon material to go off
also the struggle with coming up with a background is so so real. literally been constantly bouncing between making my own tribe based on where i’m from or just going the easier route of being from berk/gobbers kid. IDKKK it’s so ridiculously tough
anyway!! can’t believe i only just saw this post on my dash and i’m literally like what a month or two late?? not sure but whatever!! no pressure to respond to this either just wanted to say how cool i think it is 🫶🫶
don’t worry at all about being late !! there’s no such thing as being late on this blog !!
(before we go on i must preface that i’m not gonna discuss the live action on this blog unless it’s slander bcs i am very petty and very childish in this particular opinion that it was completely unnecessary and a cash grab)
with that out of the way — i wish more people posted abt httyd dr’s as well !! the entire idea of shifting there is just extremely exciting to me
and i LOVE making lesser known dragons more prominent in my scripts !! idk why the series itself sort of half-follows this rule and retcon’s it whenever it’s convenient but i really miss the idea that dragons have native habitats and biomes that they inhabit for their own physiological and biological needs?? so obvs different islands and different tribes throughout that world would have different species of dragons ??
which is why when i come up with a script or i guess lore for my dr self and the tribe that i come from, i try and figure out what kind of dragons would inhabit the surrounding land and take into account general climate and topography and such other things
super super pedantic, completely optional bcs we know that your subconscious takes care of things but i WANT to do this, it’s FUN for me 😭
AND THANK YOU I LOVE THAT THE WINDSTRIKER MATCHES MY VIBE ??!&!?!(?!
the fact that it dive bombs is so cool to me like the rush of being able to do that?? idk smth about dragons that have speed really aligns with me i think (smth smth me being an impatient aries smth smth)
and also im just realising this but me being an unequivocal yapper, a constant rambler, i love to talk and i talk very fast so . a dragon that literally spews hot air . i feel like the self deprecation writes itself 😭
i feel like the buffing up dragon stats thing is such a guilty pleasure of mine bcs you’re so right, they barely add anything new to the lesser known dragon species so it’s really just up to us
one example for me : as the windstriker is a sharp class dragon, i didn’t wanna take the same route as stormfly where my dragon releases barbed spikes as a defence (even tho they moved stormfly to tracker class but wtv not the point)
my dragon still has spikes on its tail but i use them as like picks? like it grabs material around it (wood, rocks, dried brush) and when the spikes flare, that material propels out which the dragon then blasts to create like a fireball ya know?
idk if i explained that right you just have to see what’s in my head i guess T^T but yeah that’s one move
anyway, i loved rambling abt this dr a little more so tysm for the ask anon and pls don’t feel bad about wanting to talk abt posts ive made months prior I DONT MIND AT ALL i love conversing with you guys
if you see a post of mine that you like, don’t look at the date if you wanna talk to me about it !! it’s always always a welcome chat on this blog <3
i really hope you enjoy shifting to httyd !!! if you wanna lore dump in my inbox PLEASE DO !!!!
