Hiccup Haddock - Blog Posts
Has anyone already done this? Someone’s probably already done this but I don’t care
Tell me this isn’t their exact dynamic
Hiccup: *breaths*
Astrid, already whipping out the strap on: Hands and knees bitch boy
Background Information for HTYD Next Gen Story
Night Fury Redesign - Peregrine Falcons, Panthers, Cats, Bats
- Long, pointed wings (Similar in shape to a Peregrine Falcons)
- Secondary 'wings' for stability and lift (The fins beneath his wings)
- Phalange on wing for manueverability
- Long bodies, with relatively short legs; Can be between 25 and 30 feet long
- Large keel for more powerful wing muscles
- Large chest to hold larger lungs that let them fly higher, and large airsacs
- Wings connected to forelimbs; Powerful shoulder and leg muscles to allow for taking off from the ground
- Three foreward facing toes, and two backwards facing toes on hind legs for grabbing fish
- Retractable teeth
- Powerful neck muscles to hold head steady when diving, and to hold the head still when flying in place
- Tails fins for stability, balance, lift generation, steering and air braking
- Extended spine plates that split to relax the spine and allow for tighter turns
- Nocturnal
Scale color is dependent on the color of the sky when they are in their eggs, such as if the sky is cloudy for a majority of incubation the hatchling will be grey rather than black or blue.
Eats fish, whales, sharks, deer, yaks, and sheep
Light Fury Redesign - Albatross, Thresher Shark, Fishing Cats, Axolotls
- Long, narrow wings for active soaring (Shaped like an Albatross' wings, but a little bit longer to hold them up)
- Short, rounded 'secondary' wings for stability in long flights; Capable of folding flat against the body
- Longer ears for better echolocation
- Small wing muscles because they 'lock' their wings in place to fly
- Large chest for large lungs and airsacs so they can fly high
- Sealable nostrils for when they swim
- Stocky, muscular build with short, muscular legs; Can be between 20 to 24 feet long
- Partial webbing between toes for better swimming
- A long, sickle shaped tail fin with the upper part being longer; Whips prey to stun them, both in and out of water (Like a Threshers tail)
- Shark-like fins on the tail, in front of the fin to help them swim quicker
- Slightly hooks claws, and inwardly curved teeth for catching fish; Retractable teeth and slightlt retractable claws
- Wavy, short sail fin down the spine, starting behind the wings and ending just path the secondary 'wings' and on the forehead
- Opaque scales; Thinner, but when heated mirror surroundings for short periods
Scale color is dependant on the warmth of the egg during incubation, such as being warmer leads to having darker colored scales while being cooler leads to lighter colored scales
Mainly pescetarian, sometimes feed on sharks or whales
Light Furies and Night Furies are close enough relatives that they will gather in small Prides when they feel threatened or their is not enough territory. Surprisingly Stormcutters can often be seen in these 'Prides' as they are gentle giants, and fiercly defensive.
Grimmel is actively hunting down Night Furies, so they stay hidden, not joining any nests and continuing on the move.
Chief Hiccup and Astrid had three children together, before disappearing on a rescue mission with the other Dragon Riders.
Hakkon, Frigga, and Skathi Haddock were then raised by Valka, Stoick and Gobber. (Stoick having survived Toothless' plasma blast by sheer luck but lost all feeling and motion in his left arm.)
Calumn, Dagur and Mala's son was raised by Mala with the help of the Beserkers and the Defenders of the Wing.
Asgeir and Sindri, Snotlouts son and daughter respectively, were raised seperately. Sindri was raised by her mother, Mindin with the Wingmaidens while Asgeir was raised by his grandfather, Spitelout.
Bragi, Fishlegs and Heathers son, was raised by Mala as well, having been taken in when she realized that Stoick and Valka were raising the three Haddock children.
Alva and Anja, identical twin daughters of Ruffnut, were raised by their father, Eret Eretson on Berk.
Bard, Tuffnuts son was raised by his Uncle, since his mother was unknown.
Hakkon - Female Thunderdrum (Kólga)
Frigga - Male Deadly Nadder (Spear)
Skathi - Several
Calumn - Triple Stryke (Viper)
Asgeir - Monstrous Nightmare (Wildfire)
Sindri - Razorwhip (Belladonna)
Bragi - Thunderclaw (Stormlight)
Alva - Boneknapper (Graveyard)
Anja - Armorwing (Armory)
Bard - Hobblegrunt (Borealis)

Names.
So, basically, I wasn't satisfied with the ending of httyd 3. I didn't like the dragons leaving, and I didn't like the plot very much as well. So, I decided to make a plot including the next generation (i.e. the riders' children). But here's where I meet my waterloo:
Names.
URRGH, I just have the WORST time selecting names for the children excluding Zephyr and Nuffink PLUS their dragons! Especially when you go on the internet and see all these awesome httyd ocs with their equally sensible names, and no matter how much you want to steal them but then you remember copyright is a thing. So, that's why, I need help. With names.
Please send me some sensible names, p l e a s e. I will be eternally grateful if y'all do. For both the children AND their potential dragons.
List:
Zephyr - Stormcutter Nuffink - Deadly Nadder Tufflout fanchild - Typhoomerang Rufflegs fanchild - Zippleback Dagurxmala child #1 (currently named Arne) - Thunderdrum Dagurxmala child #2 (currently named Eira) - Triple Strike
*This is a concept I'm still working on, so stuff might change later on.
UPDATE: I've uploaded the official descriptions of these characters now! Go check them out!
A Hiccup and Toothless edit/animatic with the song Weathervane by Hunter Metts?? Hello????
Absolutely fantastic
But I’m not skilled enough to make either so I have to SUFFER
If somebody ends up making one please please let me know :D
If Movie Hiccup met Book Hiccup…
I've already posted about this before, but there is something so intimate and sweet about the riders all living on the Edge for a year.
Before RTTE they've been slowly drifting apart. After the end of Riders and Defenders of Berk Hiccup is still leading searches to the farthest corners of the archipelago with his friends, looking for whatever dragons they haven't discovered yet. One by one they found jobs within the tribe and stopped coming on those expeditions. Eventually, even Astrid finds a different calling.
But when Dagur came back, Hiccup needed them to help stop him. And, somewhat reluctantly, they agreed. They planned on heading out and stopping him, not staying away from Berk. But then Dagur got away and they found the dragon eye.
Hiccup realizes that he's gonna have to spend some time away from Berk exploring and fighting Dagur, and he doesn't want to have to do it alone. And he doesn't have to.
They're all right there with him, just like they used to be in Riders and Defenders of Berk. They're a team again, but they're rusty and they need to learn how to work with each other and fight alongside each other like they used to.
When they find the Edge, it is an empty island. They design it together, and they build it on their own from the ground up.
They build their huts and the stables and the clubhouse from the ground up together, and they make the banners that hang in the common spaces together, and they carve the dragon figures that sit on top of each building together, and they paint the walls of the buildings and landing decks together. Those little details make Dragon's Edge their home.
Over the course of a little over a year, they become a family. They become familiar with everything about each other, from their major traits to the tiniest idiosyncrasies.
They know what time the others wake up, and their favorite foods and colors.
They make breakfast and dinner for each other and they make sure that the dragons are fed and taken care of.
They sleep in the clubhouse some nights just to be together.
They bandage each other's wounds and they always have someone to talk to when they feel lonely.
They know how to read each other's emotions, can tell when it's a bad day for someone, and know how to cheer them up.
They can tell the sounds of their footsteps apart from each other as they make their way down to the clubhouse in the morning.
They see each other before they are fully awake. When their hair is messy and their minds are still foggy.
They stay up late talking and forget to sleep.
They have an endless slew of little inside jokes and know each other's habits intrinsically.
They hear each other humming when they think no one can hear them and have memorized the others' laughs.
They get on each other's nerves and push each other's buttons in the way that only family can.
Because by the end of the year, that's exactly what they are.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK III!!!!!
Horrible pic but ehhh I made it quickly
HTTYD AU
Haddock-Overland (Hofferson) Family
Zephyr Hofferson-Haddock
Zephyr is Hiccup's oldest child and only daughter, At the moment this photo was taken, she is 19 years old. Her biological mother died when she was 10, and her full brother, Nuffink, was 5. (In the Canon, they are 2-3 years apart, but this age gap between the two makes my Au understandable) Her father is in a relationship with Jackson Overland. She enjoys Jack, but she isn't as close to him as her brother is cause she remembers her mother. She doesn't feel like Jack is replacing her mother, as Hiccup always reminds her and Nuffink about Astrid, her mother.
At the moment, she is the chief's advisor's assistant. She wears her mother's hairband and her hairstyle in race to the edge.
Just to be sure, we are all on the same page. I don't want anyone unhappy with them making a mistake
all of my “hear me out” characters so far (and many more but tumblr has a 10 photo limit >:[)
His autistic swag and sad pathetic boyfailure tendencies captivated me.
Eret: Where I’m from locking someone in an arena with nothing but a knife, a wooden shield, and an angry monstrous nightmare would be considered a public execution.
Hiccup: skill issues.
Eret: didn’t you almost die?
Hiccup: well I was pretty weak for a 15 year old, someone else could have done it. Probably.
Eret: YOU WERE FIFTEEN!?
I wrote an essay about this
Valka takes a lot of flack for abandoning Hiccup and Stoick, but not nearly enough people hate on Stoick (imho).
Stoick was also an awful father?
He isolated Hiccup, set unrealistic expectations, publically humiliated his son for years, he absolutely refused to be understanding or reasonable until he was faced with defeat and failure.
Hiccup had to adapt to become more aggressive (as seen in RTTE) or have his father absolutely bulldoze over his ideas and his personhood.
Stoick became a better father when Hiccup was nearly an adult already, but he utterly failed Hiccup when he was a child and thats 100% worth mentioning and addressing.
He looks like the guy from that detentioneer show on ABCme
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.
Me with Ur art
I’m getting more confident with drawing him methinks
Dragon memes pt. 2 (Hiccup Time (+Dagur, Astrid, Heather)bc he's my favourite and I said so)
“there will always be a Hiccup and Astrid, always”
The entire httyd experience summed up in one sentence
i feel so bad cause no matter how capable/intelligent hiccup is im like aww what a cutie
Sometimes I log on to tumblr just to look at this because it makes me happy
On a road trip so here's a wobbly doodle of Hiccup beaming over his first child.
Hiccup has dad-brain and needs to cycle through a series of names before getting his kids' names right and eventually he just gives up, especially when he's flustered.
Example of him calling Zephyr when she's causing trouble: "Nuffink! Toothless! Ruff-! Snot-! You! Goblin child! Come here please, thank you. I said *no* biting!"

Modern au hiccup
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.
