About to finish the 8th book I'll tell you how I feel about it when I'm done
Camicazi and Stormfly, Hiccup and Toothless, and Fishlegs and Horrorcow! Finally finished tweaking the designs and made the dragons!!
Hiccup: sometimes I think God stays in heaven because he's afraid of what he's created.
-----------------------------
Fishlegs: I've had enough. *eats fibre glass wall insulation*
------------
Camicazi: Is being left handed a disability?
Hiccup: What the fuck did you just ask me!?
--------------
Fishlegs: I wanna chew ice.
Hiccup: you have an iron deficiency.
Fishlegs: FUCK!
----------------
Camicazi: what's trigonometry? Is it like a type of stick?
Hiccup: it's a branch of maths regarding the study of triangles.
Camicazi: so if it's a branch of maths then it's a type of stick?
Fishlegs: oh lord help me.
---------------------------
Camicazi: I'll bite you.
Fishlegs: tbh you're so short I'd just assume you were a teething baby.
Camicazi: I hope you enjoy staring at coffin lids.
Httyd except the book!verse is integrated into the movie!verse because I desperately want these two to be brothers
My hc is that he's silent because he's autistic
I feel like there are two ways to interpret botw/totk link and they are:
a very dedicated, intelligent young man who has taken a vow of silence to ensure he emulates the spirit of the hero the people claim him to be, no matter how unsure or scared he truly is.
or
an adorkable idiot who is sturdy enough to make it through life *mostly* unscathed, but stupid enough to always end up in some wild scenario with naught but a soup ladle and the clothes on his back, chasing after his girlfriend who just so happens to keep getting herself in increasingly confusing predicaments. He does not know what is going on, but by Hylia, he's gonna get his woman back.
The episode 'Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man' is basically just the entire plot of the books.
Hamish the second (movie version of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the second) was a Hiccup and left the treasure with a bunch of riddles and puzzles and when Hiccup found the treasure there was a not that said "Only a Hiccup could get this far." Which resulted in Hiccup being more accepted by his father and the people around him and being remembered for being his own person and not the idea of the perfect ideal heir to the throne of Berk.
There were a lot of differences like, it took Hiccup 4 years to become king of the wilderwest and 3 years to get people to follow him in the fight against Alvin to do good and the treasure in the books was hidden by Grimbeard in honour of his son rather than the other way around, but it's still very much the same premise of Hiccup discovering that being a runt isn't necessarily bad and being a funky little guy is actually a really good thing.
Also, the episode where they go to Vaneheim and get stuck because of the sentinels is like in book 2 when they go ti wherever and have to fight blind and deaf dragons with an incredibly advanced sense of smell and brutal killing methods
Rewatching Heather Report, Part 1, for the first time since starting on the Httyd books has made me realize just how similar Heather's first appearance is to Alvin's in the books.
Heather was "shipwrecked", much like how Alvin was found in a coffin at sea, both have a sea-related introduction.
Heather is trying to be friendly with Hiccup and friends, because she wants something from Berk. Alvin was trying to be friendly with Hiccup and his tribe, because he wanted something from Berk.
Heather got closer to Hiccup by helping him with his forging. Alvin got closer to Hiccup by helping him with something.
Heather worked for the Outcasts. Alvin worked for the Outcasts.
Astrid was almost immediately suspicious of Heather, she tried to warn Hiccup. Toothless was immediately suspicious of Alvin, he tried to warn Hiccup.
Heather mostly succeeded in her mission. Alvin almost succeeded in his mission.
The tv-shows are probably the closest to the books than the movieverse has ever gotten.
I think the autism spectrum should look like a spider web that way everyone has their own little individual spot on it
I don't like the line because I see it and think it's the autismometer
I love how hiccup and the woden's fang and the windwalker try so hard to teach Toothless manners only for him to pick a completely random "polite" word to put in front of his normal statements
Saying "please" or "excuse me" or whatever before hurling seething insults is the funniest thing I've ever read
I think I might write a story about a little silly goblin dude and his big silly angel girlfriend
