The Httyd Books Are Amazing And I Live All The Characters To Death (except For Alvin) But Can You Imagine

Just started reading heroes of Olympus my favourite is Leo because he says booyah

Do you think Leo considered trying to bring his mum back when he heard the doors of death were open?

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.

I'm never getting over the fact that when Toothless snaps out of it his teeth retract and when he's being mind controlled his teeth come out because he doesn't wanna hurt Hiccup

I won't leave you. I won't let you go.

I love drawing guys

Annie and Frank for my soul

Listen I'm actually rooting for normalizing platonic relationships between men but then again it's not my fault that all of them are written like they fuck so

ok ok wait have you listened to the audiobooks? cause they’re awesome. also do you have a favourite hhtyd book + why?

I absolutely adore how to speak dragonese because I love Camicazi's introduction to the story and I think the plot and dialogue was great. I also loved the audiobook for how to speak dragonese because I think Hiccup's dialogue was voiced and acted out perfectly

Guys my friend hit me in the face with a tree branch and the first thing he did when he got home was text me and ask if I was okay I got butterflies 😭

Something I love about the wizards of once is that there's no actual reason for Wish being dyslexic. Like, that's just the way she is. And it's cool because in books like Percy Jackson the characters are dyslexic because they're demi gods and their dyslexia actually comes with the benefit of reading ancient Greek but Wish's dyslexia doesn't come with benefits, she doesn't gain anything from it and she just straight up can't read no matter what she does or what language she reads in and I love how accurate that representation is.

Percy Jackson was still great dyslexic rep tho
