I absolutely love how Stoick says he'll love only Valka and it was mentioned Night Furry's mate for life. Makes me think Haddocks only love once. Your thoughts on this?
Hey there, anon! I actually really like this connection here.
I like this connection because I’ve always fully believed that when the Haddock men love…they love hard and they are in it for the long run.
Below is my rambling analysis:
Looking at Stoick, you could tell that Valka was the love of his life the way he’d talk about her and especially when he saw her again twenty years later. “You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you…” STOICK BRINGING ALL THE FEELS. Then you get to HTTYD3 and him telling Hiccup she was the love of his life…I’m still clutching my heart over that whole entire scene.
Then you look at Hiccup who doesn’t really need to say all of these mushy things for you to know that he loves Astrid with everything he’s got. One look at that boy looking at her and you can see it in his eyes. You can see it in their interactions. But still, I’m mentioning the show because some of the things he told Astrid in RTTE made me melt…still makes me melt to this day. “There will always be a Hiccup and Astrid. Always. Whatever that means, whatever you want it to mean. I am with you.” *wipes away the flow of tears* AND THEN YOU GET THIS SCENE IN THE IMAGE BELOW. (I really should do an analysis on this moment).
You can even look at this from a non-romantic point-of-view by looking at Toothless/Hiccup’s relationship and beautiful friendship. Toothless loves Hiccup and Hiccup loves Toothless. It shows in every interaction they have. Every time the other has saved the other. It shows in how well they know one another. It shows in that damn hug at the end of httyd3. That love in that friendship is forever even from afar.
And I loved getting to see Toothless and his interaction with the Light Fury as well. It was love at first sight for that dorky dragon. And just like the Haddock men, he fell in love and was in it for life.
*clutches heart* I love the Haddock men.
And y’all best believe Nuffink is going to be just as charming and loving as his father and grandfather. One look at that kid and you know that much already. LOL gah…he’s adorable. (putting a photo cause it’s cute and i’m trash)
Thanks for the ask, anon!
