This is mostly because of Rescue Riders but… AU where the Dragon Riders (aka my OT6) lives in a lighthouse.
AU where it’s originally Hiccup going up there by himself to get peace and quiet to think (Stanley Hudson-style) but then everyone keeps following him up there to ask him questions so it just becomes the new clubhouse.
Hey gang! Just dropping in for a sec because well okay I’m gonna be honest, I clicked a link and came here by accident but HELLO. All’s well, looking forward to the ol’ Snoggletog special and probably will be back soon to chat about it with all of you. I’m waiting on a medical referral still for this special clinic in Toronto and scrounging for editing work in the meantime, blegh. I haven’t been able to tune in regularly for any of the CAtA games, but MAYBE I WILL SOON, I have no idea. My life is pretty disorganized these days. EVERYTHING I DO IS A SURPRISE, EVEN FOR ME. I’ve been dedicating most of my Art Brain to my original stuff and most of my Fan Trash Brain to Fullmetal Alchemist, including a new tiny fanfic which I will link in a separate post. ANYWAY Happy Thanksgiving to my American pals who are celebrating this weekend (I think?) and a pure and concentrated beam of good thoughts and warm feelings to all the rest of you!
just wanted to share with you guys (like, mostly @ashleybenlove, but all y’all too) that this past weekend I was in the wedding party for my very dear pal, and while we were waiting outside the reception to get announced before walking in, the ONLY THING IN MY BRAIN was the sound of Gina Linetti doing her vocal warmups from “Return of the King”.
So I’m standing there in a full-length goddamn gown waiting for the missing two bridesmaids, tryna be all poised and demure, and my entire mind on a loop is just “TIMOTHEE CHALAMET, SHIMMY-YAW, SHIMMY-YAY”
SO ANYWAY I’ve finished Rescue Riders (thanks to this gross cold I have) and I feel pretty good about it! Obviously, obviously it is for young children. Some notes:
- The town of Huttsgalor is deliberately and noticeably multicultural! We’ve got an inexplicably Latina pirate with all kinds of spooky information, a Black serial entrepreneur with a flat top who “sailed here and decided to stay”, and a bunch of background characters with a multitude of skin tones!
- Magnus Fink, the local villain, is a very silly man.
- Hannar the Blacksmith is great and I love her
- Chief Duggard has a VERY AGGRESSIVELY SCOTTISH ACCENT, I cannae stress this enough
- All the main dragons are new species we’ve never seen previously in RTTE or the movies.
- The characters do mention Cavern Crashers, Sea Gronckles (!!!) and Foreverwings.
- There are “Slinkwing” dragons, or as I call them, Disco Changewings.
- There are a lot of baby dragons in this show! IT’S CUTE
- We only find out a little bit about Dak and Leyla’s past, sprinkled throughout the season.
- Dragons being afraid of eels comes up a fair bit.
- There’s a great bit about “Humans riding dragons? When did this start happening?” where the humans just respond, “We’re kind of a special case.” - It doesn’t seem like Huttsgalor was ever seriously attacked by dragons in a major way, as evidenced by a) their general chillness toward dragons after some initial skepticism, and b) everyone generally having all of their limbs.
- The island where they live is described as being veeery remote, and on the .very edge of the Viking empire.
- I didn’t spy any major easter eggs or tie-ins beyond the names of a few dragons.
All in all, it’s a sweet show with decent thematic writing, albeit very low-stakes, formulaic stuff making it super appropriate for younger demographics. Once you make peace with the dragons talking (and accept that, hey, it’s only the other dragons and the twins who can understand them anyway) it’s a decent wholesome cartoon to throw on for the sleepy or otherwise intoxicated adult, and probably pretty solid material for any actual children you may have around.
Most importantly, though, a lot of the same people who made Race to the Edge made Rescue Riders, and while they’re obviously going for a different crowd, I’m still happy to see them bringing their A-game and making high-quality stuff for lil baby dragon nerds too. Let’s keep that in mind!
They’ve really stepped up the fish model game for Rescue Riders, omg.
LOOK AT THIS FELLA
WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT RESCUE RIDERS!?
I’m sorry I didn’t get you a card :(
Chronically ill people should be allowed to do college their way and not be forced to do it the abled way.
Not just college but life and education in general. It’s generally expected that we all must complete primary and secondary education in however many years is standard for your country, but also that we either get a job or go to post-secondary right after. There’s also the expectation of getting a car, having kids and living independently. All of the above are inherently harmful to those who cannot achieve these “normalcies” (for physical or mental reasons) in the way society expects us to.
just try then, if you like literally cant its ok but if you can but just struggle, just try harder.
i am autistic and struggled in school, but i managed to push on through because i didnt moan like a whiney bitch that “life is unfair against me”
How about don’t be a jerk to other disabled people? Are people on this website incapable of anything but being an asshole?
c h r o n i c a l l y i l l p e o p l e This isn’t a synonym for “disabled” or “non-neurotypical” or any similar thing. People who are sick and who will be sick their entire lives have different needs and limits, and the postsecondary education system is, in so many ways, rigged against us. “Just try” is absolutely the most inane advice I can imagine. Like, wow, really? Previously I was Not Trying, but this has really given me a lot to think about. This shithead is clearly incredibly ignorant, but WOW. I’d like to see who “moans like a whiney bitch” (sic) more with widespread 7/10 pain, constant fatigue, dizziness, nausea and a migraine, plus limbs that jerk when you aren’t expecting them to and eyes that lose focus and cross of their own accord. You wouldn’t last an hour in bodies like ours, kiddo--not to mention that, hey, some chronically ill people are autistic too.
They’ve really stepped up the fish model game for Rescue Riders, omg.

viking of the year
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA STOP EVERYTHING Leyla just said “Maybe they’re flightless dragons, like Sea Gronckles!” MY HEART MY POOR LITTLE GRONCKLE-LOVING HEART FLIGHTLESS. SEA. GRONCKLES.
I NEED THEM.
the real tragedy of rescue riders is that it’s not somehow a spinoff about the twins’ missing cousin lars.
AH THEY FINALLY MENTIONED A DRAGON WE KNOW CAVERN CRASHER Cutter has the strength of a Cavern Crasher, allegedly!
I’m gonna ask the question I know a lot of us are thinking...
what are we gonna do if zephyr and nuffink aren’t named zephyr and nuffink in httyd: homecoming????
Yeah I was thinking about this too... I hope they’ll keep them. But considering that when I asked Dean about their ages, I´me pretty sure I said their names and he answer me immediately, like "Zephyr is 8 and Nuffink is 5". He didn’t hesitate. So that means, for me, that it’s very clear in his mind. So why would they change them?
As for me, I’m more concerned about the French version, I think they’ll keep Zephyr but I’m really not sure about Nuffink...
I...I absolutely loathe the name Nuffink, I gotta be honest. Mad respect to Cressida Cowell but HICCUP DOESN’T SPEAK WITH AN ENGLISH OR SCOTTISH ACCENT IN THE MOVIES and “Nuffink” sounds hella weird in a standard Canadian accent. It’s gonna sound like Jay Baruchel reading the Peeves the Poltergeist bits from Harry Potter aloud.
You know how live action shows have cast photos that basically are… the cast standing in various places??? Like, surely I don’t have to name shows because it’s literally all of them. (This isn’t a slam at any live action shows. It’s a good way to promote your show.)
That but with RTTE. Like, imagine the gang all standing or sitting in various spots of a set. Toothless is there, too, bc of course he is. Dagur, Viggo, Ryker, Heather, Mala, Atali, Stoick, Gobber are optional.
I want fanart of this so bad.
JUST CHILLIN. Kickin it at the Northern Markets tavern. Leaning out the stable doors. Friends-ing it up at the dragon-watering station in town. Casual.
Leyla and Dak’s mother’s diary from Rescue Riders! Look at them lil guys!
hey gang, it’s your good pal Alice, back on Tuesday with a glass of white wine as scheduled for some good old-fashioned
Tuesday Night Cards Against the Archipelago!
We’ll kick things off at 9:35 PM EST since it’s 9:28 now. here is the game link right here! Password is “smidvarg”, everybody’s welcome, bring your popcorn and come on out! Details under the cut (the same details as always!).
Keep reading
Please set your screenname to something your fandom pals over here will recognize (ideally just your URL, but whatever). Pretend You’re Xyzzy doesn’t have the chat feature enabled anymore, so if you’d like to hang out and talk, please join the Discord server here. We’ll just be using text chat tonight, no voice. I promise to play until at least 11PM, and you’re free to come and go as needed–if the game’s full, feel free to hop on in as a spectator, and if at first you don’t succeed (or you’re busy until later) try again later tonight!
(*if you’re new to or newly back to the HTTYD fandom, please note that this is a Cards Against Humanity game played with a custom deck that’s mostly about the TV/Netflix series Riders/Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge, so if you’ve only seen the movies you won’t get a lot of the jokes! You are still welcome, though!) Sometimes the game glitches! Booo! If it glitches for you, we know it’s not your fault, so don’t feel bad! Just refresh your page and wait it out, bud. You can use it on mobile but it’s not that great, so if you have an actual computer handy that’ll work a lot better.
We have a steady crop of regular weekly players (whom I love dearly and will treasure always) so we’ve developed a few recurring jokes, but WE ARE HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THEM TO YOU and super, super happy to have you this week even if you’re not here every week! :) CAtA is a cool and chill good time full of cool and chill good people.
hey gang it’s your good pal alice here
I am very sleepy but I thought I’d stop in and see if anybody’s up for playing a few rounds of good ol’
Tuesday Night Cards Against the Archipelago!
We’ll kick things off at 10:00 PM EST since it’s 9:41 now. here is the game link right here! Password is “smidvarg”, everybody’s welcome, bring your popcorn and come on out! Details under the cut (the same details as always!).
I haven’t checked in on the rumours about HTTYD Homecoming yet, but I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND YOU ALL FOR THE RECORD that a snoggletog special has been on my wishlist since like RTTE season 4, so if they manage to a) mend the gaping wound in my poor little brain that Hidden World left and b) create a wholesome, RTTE-esque ensemble special that hits all the right notes in a festive manner, I may actually pass out. my official position is always pro-holiday special, if anyone ever asks, especially vis-a-vis potential gronckle babies getting additional screentime.
