We know what Viggo would physically like in a man (duhhh) but what would he be into in a woman

*inserts picture of Heather here*

Lol, I’m only sort of joking. You see, Viggo absolutely appreciates people’s physical attributes, but I don’t think he has much of a preference when it comes to that. Viggo is much more interested in a person’s intellect, and if they present a challenge for him. If you can hold your own against him or at least try, you’re attractive to him.

At least, that seems to be the “pattern.” We only saw said attraction for both Heather and Hiccup. (I will definitely argue for the Viggo/Heather ship. It was there, albeit much more short lived.)

I haven’t written him with women as much, but he likes it when people have a fire in them. He wants someone (dare I say it?) “feisty.”

So, I guess I can’t really say what his physical type is. I feel that for him his appreciation of intellect comes first, followed secondly by appreciation for physical features.

I just watched “Have Dragon, will Travel, Part 2” and in the girls talk between Astrid and Heather, Astrid jokes about Heather and Snotlout being a match made in Valhalla. Heather states she’s not into these “macho vikings” and says “I like a little smarts.” Which is why she prefers Fishlegs.

I learn German in school and as a preparation for my finals I watch Rtte in German and I notice that this quote from Heather is translated different, which makes me think she had a crush on Viggo. She says “Ich steh auf die Intelligenten, wie Fischbein” it basically means “I’m attracted to intelligence, like Fishlegs” which made me headcanon that Heather definitely had a thing for Viggo when they met. I mean he is THE Intelligent guy and attractive too!!!

Oh that’s so interesting that it got translated differently! Translators doing all the shipping work for us! (Thinking of the Destiel translator incident.)

I like that idea. I know Viggo wanted to use and manipulate her, and she was really doing the same to him, but their relationship dynamic and the mentality surrounding it is super fun to explore. Out of all the characters in Race to the Edge, Heather is the only one other than Hiccip to be referred to as “my dear” by Viggo.

God, they’d be so much more fucked up if they’d managed to get together and stay that way.

There was probably already a poll for this, but I can’t quite remember, so poll time!

Which do you prefer as Viggo and Heather’s ship name?

Heathgo

Vigther

Something else (Please tell me!)
