set this blog up for the explicit purpose of posting these
This painting is an amalgamation of elements from 5 different scenes from a random story got into my head last Thursday at 2 am, and technically contains none of the plot details from any of them. It does allude to some of the events but doesn't depict them literally, because how do you fit an entire plot in one image that is not some form of sequential art?
The image itself aesthetically has some elements from a few of my older pics, I suppose.
The Mystery Behind Astrid's Wolf-Pelt Cloak (HTTYD 3)
Hello, my fellow Furians! Welcome to another HTTYD article! This is one of my older ideas, but again, I just plumb forgot and it was just left sitting there collecting dust. 😅
Today, I want to talk to you about a realization and possible revelation that just has me in fits of excitement! When I watched the end of HTTYD 3 with Hiccstrid's wedding and their cloaks, I never thought much about it. However, when I watched the RTTE Season 2's 4th episode "Bad Moon Rising," I suddenly connected the two dots.
Take a look!
I paused and thought about it for a bit, and then I realized that... wait, wolf. Wolf pelt. A pelt that comes from a wolf. Wait... did the wolf pelt come from THIS wolf?! 😲🤯
I mean, it could be possible, right?
I could totally see Snotlout killing the wolf and gaining a nice pelt from it for his troubles, and then 3 or so years later, when Hiccstrid have their wedding, he gifts it to Astrid as a wedding gift. Or maybe he gifts it to her as a reconciliation gift after having stepped on her wrath one too many times. 😅 Such a time could've been after Season 5's episode "Snotlout's Angels."
Of course, this could just all be an uncanny coincidence, and this is a completely different pelt that had absolutely nothing to do with Snotlout's wolf, and that he either still has it, or Tuffnut has it as an apology gift for the... prank and making him think that he was turning into a Lycanwing.
But hey, I personally support this headcanon. What about you guys?
Let me know what you guys think! I'm always open to other interpretations. It's why theories and headcanons exist.
Thank you for reading this article! See you next time!
Long Live the Night!

Perhaps I'll post some photos of my wolf pelt and skull later 👀

"In Philip José Farmer's short story "Wolf, Iron, And Moth" only people who have two recessive genes can become werewolves, and even those people will not become werewolves unless they are bitten by another werewolf or receive a werewolf pelt. The transformation from man into wolf requires food energy which the change burns off, so in human form werewolves gain as much as twenty pounds before losing the weight after the full moon. The compulsion to eat food and put on the werewolf pelt on nights of the full moon is too powerful to resist. Indeed, the werewolf experiences sexual arousal and orgasm during the change itself. Aside from the transformation and urge to hunt, werewolves have no magical abilities—-an ordinary lead bullet will kill a werewolf just as easily as silver. Finally, in the closing paragraph the reader becomes aware that the sheriff who kills the werewolf in the story also carries the fatal werewolf gene and will soon become a werewolf himself now that he owns the pelt which he cut off the body. The sheriff realizes the danger and thinks he will have the will power to burn the pelt before the next full moon. The last sentences of the story, which explain the title argue otherwise."
