I changed my mind. "I think my mother was a teapot." Is just so much deeper and emotional for me.

Idk if this is creepy but I keep going onto tumblr just to look at this drawing like its just so aesthetically pleasing and it scratches my brain so good
I am young, I am poor, I can offer you nothing
all that I have is this bright pair of wings
One hill that I will die on is that Xar likes warm milk better than cold milk.
Relating to Hiccup in the sense of being treated like shit for being different ❤
Relating to Camicazi in the sense of being feral ❤
Relating to Fishlegs in the sense of getting angry about being bullied instead of just letting it go ❤
Relating to Xar in the sense that my older brother fucking hates me and my dad picks favourites ❤
Relating to Wish in the sense that I'll never be good enough for the people around me ❤
Relating to Bodkin in the sense that I'm scared of breaking the rules ❤
Ove gotten so invested in the httyd books and the media surrounding it that I sometimes forget the httyd movies exist
One thing that I wished they kept throughout the franchise was Hiccup being the smallest Viking. I wish they kept him scrawny and stringy and shorter than Astrid and the rest of the gang.
Hiccup was ostracised by his entire community for many reasons, one being his weak build and small stature.
Snotlout may be shorter than Hiccup in the movies, but he's got bigger muscles and puffs himself up. He makes up for it by acting like a proper Viking, being loud and obnoxious and always ready to start a fight - that and he can actually lift a weapon.
The name Hiccup is meant to mean small and frail - the runt of a litter or the black sheep. I want Hiccup to be the absolute epitome yet antithesis of his name. I want Hiccup to be small and unassuming and shorter than the rest. But I also want him to be Great. I want him to be brave and stubborn and hard to kill. Awkward and sarcastic at the worst of times but still kind and friendly and always dependable.
I want him to be everything a Viking is and isn't. I want him to be a peacekeeper and a warrior, an adventurer and an inventor, the son of the chief and the hiccup of his tribe. Someone who can't wield the same weapons as his tribesmen so he makes his own. Someone who wants to uphold the traditions and culture of his people yet always thinks outside of the box. The representation of this new age that's fast approaching, the line in the middle where old and new clash.
I want Hiccup to dress like a Viking, talk like a Viking, eat, sleep and walk like a Viking yet be the very last thing anyone ever thinks of when they think of a Viking. And most of all I want there to be absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I wish they hadn't made him tall and appealing in the end. I wish they'd kept him the way he was. A Viking born too early and too weak in the middle of one of the harshest winters ever experienced by the barbaric archipelago. A Viking who beat the odds and survived. He's braved every terrible winter since his birth and lives in a place where it snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. He can endure bone-freezing chills and frozen oceans but never fails to catch the common cold. He's always been a bit sickly, ever since he was a child, but he always bounces back. He's got scars and a missing leg and his hands are filled with callouses, cuts and burns, but he's soft-spoken and loves to read and never skips a meal yet can never seem to get any bigger.
I wish they could have kept Hiccup the way he was. I wish they didn't have to change him in order to have him become a worthy hero.
I wish the entire village could look at their little runt of a chief and still crack jokes about his long-overdue growth spurt. I want them to look at him and be filled with pride, cause despite the fact that he hasn't grown an inch since he was sixteen, there isn't a single person on Berk who can look at him without seeing just how far he's come.
These get more and more off base everytime
The httyd books are amazing and I live all the characters to death (except for Alvin) but can you imagine how bad they all smelt in books 10-12?
I <3 similarities between the books and the movies
Hiccup being left handed.
Hiccup's speech in the epilogue of THW was the first thing Hiccup said in the books.
I liked how Hiccup in the movies was like he was based off a different Hiccup from the books in each movie. Like in httyd 1 he was like Hiccup the first in the sense that he was the first person to befriend and nurse a dragon back to health in thousands of years. Then it httyd 2 he was like Hiccup the 2nd because he wanted to peacefully show Drago that dragons shouldn't be enslaved and it ended in a disaster. Then in httyd 3 he was like Hiccup the third because he has to come to terms with the fact that dragons and humans can't coexist so he had to let the dragons go.
MORE HTTYD BOOK HEADCANONS SINCE YALL LIKED THE LAST BATCH!!
if camicazi had Spotify I'm 100% positive her favourite song would be figjam by butterfingers.
If Fishlegs had Spotify I feel like he'd really just use it for podcasts and audio books but if he had to listen to anything it'd probably be whatever he thinks his friends like since he's flexible with music genres and stuff
Hiccup = radio head, 21 pilots, maroon 5, Abba, the cranberries.
Hiccup hates hugs but Camicazi and Fishlegs love them so Hiccup only hugs those 2.
Camicazi just smells people for the sake of smelling that smell later and getting happy and nostalgic over it.
Hiccup tried to teach Camicazi a few of the languages he knows but she only learnt the swear words. He just decided to teach Fishlegs instead.
My friend made a comment about my autism but I never told her I have autism so I looked up at her and I said "how did you know I have autism?" And she said "You're reading how to train your dragon right now."

Yall my tumblr just turned 1 yesr old
I MADE THIS ACCOUNT TO POST HEARTSTIPPER SHIT AND VENT AND NOW ALL I TALK ABOUT IS HTTYD LIKE WHAT? 😭
Anyone else ever think about their special interest and just start violently stimming or is that just me because I swear if someone asks me about the httyd books and then gets weirded out when I start flapping my hands and kicking my feet then I swear to God I'm gonna lose it
If they make a HTTYD book-based cartoon (preferably by Cartoon Saloon) a good way to make the audience like and feel sorry for Snotlout more is by showing him with a strong sense of honour, such as allowing an opponent to pick up their weapon after being disarmed or saving a Hooligan over something else he’d desire, or something similar. They could also include his sister Adelaide and have him be really wholesome to her (like giving her piggyback rides and not being a jerk in front of her because he wants to be a good role model and doesn’t want her to hate herself too).
Just a thought.
some people will say that the tenth doctor was david tennants most iconic role. others will disagree and say that title should go to his role as crowley. i don’t have a side in this argument, because i know his most iconic role will always be his narration of the how to train your dragon audiobooks.
I think we can all agree that in httyd Hiccup, Fishlegs and Camicazi are soldier poet king right?
Do you guys this that somewhere in the world there's probably someone who loved the httyd books so much they actually got the dragon mark tatooed on their forehead?
Favorite Httyd character? 👀
Toothless 🔛🔝
But human characters I can't decide whether I like Hiccup or Eggingarde
What was your first reaction to How to steal a Dragons Sword like? I know I felt every and no emotion at the same time.
I loved it!! My favourite part was when Excellinor crawled out of the cauldron because I loved the picture. I was so mad when Snotlout threw that rock tho like omg
Best httyd quote?
If it’s too hard to choose, which book in the generally most quotable?
I think my favourite quote was in the epilogue of book of book 7 when Hiccup says "Maybe all kings should bare the slave mark to show that they are slaves to their people and not the other way around."
Or in book 1 when Hiccup gets mad at Stoick and says "What kind of father puts his stupid laws before his own son?"
U guys should totally ask questions about the httyd books on my profile 🤭 (if I don't aggressively info dump I'm gonna explode)
Okay I am very much a girl but when someone calls me handsome I swear I fold like a lawn chair.
Again and again, Hiccup was hauled back up through the trapdoor, again and again he was thrown into the sea- and each time he was left underwater for longer and longer.

"We're just trying to keep him warm and alive," continued the Wodensfang, "and scare away the winterfleshers. The Windwalkder is blowing air into him so he doesn't drown."
I know I said Hiccup's favourite band would be either the cranberries or ABBA but I was wrong it's actually radio head.
HTTYD BOOK HEADCANONS!!!
Hiccup hates being hugged because normally when people grab him it's because they're trying to hold him still so they can kill him.
Fishlegs was born premature.
Camicazi hates coconuts.
Hiccup is autistic.
If Hiccup had Spotify his favourite band would be either ABBA or The Cranberries.
Because Hiccup spent a whole book speaking pretty much only dragonese he sometimes forgets words in English when he's talking to people.
Hiccup used to hide his slave mark from his dad by wearing his helmet to sleep. He did this for a month after he got it and then just decided he was being paranoid and stopped.
Camicazi believes in the toothfairy and Fishlegs keeps trying to convince her it doesn't exist because he never gets money from his teeth.
Fishlegs once tore his hut apart looking for his lobster claw necklace and had to ask Hiccup to help him look and it turned out to just be under his bed.
Fishlegs us scared of mice
In book 4 it says Camicazi admires Hiccup so I think she sees him as sort of a leader or older brother.
Camicazi's favourite colour is red.
Fishlegs at first didn't like Camicazi very much but as they hung out more he started liking her a lot more and now they're besties.
Toothles would sell Hiccup to Alvin for a snack.
Felt a little too accurate
Anyone who's ever read the httyd books ever
Reading the wizard of once and WISH IS DYSLEXIC!!
