headcanons for the riders' dragons? + torch and scauldy I love them
i literally wrote out a huge response with a ton of headcanons for the dragons and then it just. didn’t post. and deleted everything i wrote AAAAAAAAA
toothless and meatlug make biscuits like cats do
stormfly preens those who she considers to be part of her family. one time fishlegs caught her preening snotlout and he flipped the fuck out and got hiccup and they nerded out about it together
hookfang hoards. ruff and astrid are constantly loosing spears and axes, but they’re not about to confront the 5000lb bratty fire lizard about it
barf & belch love to cuddle people by wrapping their entire necks around them. no one has the heart to tell them that they’re suffocating them
toothless chews on anything he can nab. he once took macey and tuffnut cried about it for DAYS, even after toothless gave her back
scauldy is just… not that bright. whenever he comes to visit, he’s constantly getting stuck in the shallows and needing someone to save him. he doesn’t seem to be aware of his size, and hits his head on things frequently. he once tried to sit in ruffnut’s lap. she was on bedrest for three days afterwards.
torch is surprisingly bright (for a typhoomerang). tuffnut’s taught him multiple tricks, including “fetch”, “steal,” and “attack”.
torch and scauldy met once. no one could tell if they were playing or genuinely fighting.
tuffnut sews little hats for the dragons. meatlug loves hers especially
barf’s favorite dragon is stormfly, while belch’s favorite is meatlug
windshear didn’t get along well with shattermaster, but she and sleuther became besties immediately
windshear has separation anxiety
snotlout is the only person allowed to touch hookfang’s horns.
hookfang has a PROFESSIONAL side eye. this man will shame you without even saying a word
the dragons cuddle together
everyone gets a power wash via scauldy (being very careful not to overheat the water) whenever he visits. ruffnut’s hair is spared
stormfly sniffs VERY loudly. astrid will come home from being somewhere else and stormfly will smell her for ten minutes straight
snotlout plays with hookfang when no one else is around. their favorite game is “bull”, where snotlout holds up a sheet and hookfang charges at it with his horns lowered
sleuther doesn’t have very good eyesight, which is why he gets so confused when others make clicking noises
meatlug chitters (similarly to cats). the others will have full conversations with her, being like, “oh, really? oh my goodness! what happened next? no way!” and meatlug will just be chirping the whole time
the twins have dance battles with barf & belch.
wingnut and windshear love hanging out. they’re always play fighting and gossiping
toothless and torch still have a rivalry, but it’s more playful and lighthearted now
