no, seriously, mom friend Hiccup
Hiccup is 110% the mom friend of the group. At first, he tried to deny it, but it’s so apparent that he’s given up. When he’s rlly pissed at someone (mainly the twins and snoutlout) he acts like such a scolding mother it’s not even funny
He’s mastered the Mom Voice ™. That warning tone used to get you to do shit? Perfected. The ‘don’t test me’ glare? Flawlessly pulled off every time. The ‘I’m just disappointed’ tone, the ‘shut up now’ glare, he’s got it all.
At one point, he got so mad at Snotlout and Hookfang slacking on patrol that he grabbed them (by the ear and horn respectively) and DRAGGED them to the patrol tower. Snoutlout denies it to this day, but never slacked off on patrol again. Hiccup still drags ppl, sometimes by the ear, if he rlly needs them to do something. The rest of the group doesn’t try to fight it. Hiccups constant wrestling with Toothless has hardened his grip that it’s nearly impossible to escape his grasp.
Hiccups the only one that can properly wrangle the twins. He often lets the twins off with a warning and the twins usually tone down on what they’re doing bc they respect Hiccup. Hiccup doesn’t mind them don’t harmless pranks and often joins them, but if it crosses the line, (I.e, setting the island on fire) he steps in to stop them.
Astrid and Fishlegs almost never see the Mom side of Hiccup, but occasionally, they’ll get the ‘I’m just disappointed’ kind of sigh.
He hands out chores as punishment and no one really fights him; they’ve accepted that Hiccup is the resident mom in their group, his authority is pretty much absolute.
Hiccup once used the Mom Voice ™ on Dagur and he was so shocked he fell off his dragon and never stepped out of line again. All it takes is one warning of “Dagur…..” and Dagur stops whatever he’s doing.
First and foremost, Hiccup is the Dragon Riders friend, they respect him and he often doesn’t need to get too authoritative but will if need be.
The first time Hiccup used the Mom Voice ™ in front of Stoick it was to get the twins to drop something but in the spur of the moment, Stoick mistook Hiccups voice for his mother’s (who died years before Hiccup was born) and dropped the scroll he was holding with a very quick ‘Yes Ma’am’ (Stoick’s mother was incredibly strict). Gobber and Astrid laughed their asses off and Hiccup flew away on Toothless in embarrassment.
Speaking of Toothless, the Night Fury is the only one that is immune to Hiccup’s motherly antics. He rlly does not give two shits. The other dragons listen to Hiccup regardless, but Toothless is special. He rarely crosses the line of what’s ok and what’s not, but just as rarely listens to his rider. It pisses Hiccup off.
As a result of Hiccup’s motherliness, the group has taken to calling him ‘Mama Hiccup’ to tease him. In conversations, they often say ‘Mom, Ruffnut is hitting me again!’ or something along those lines to annoy Hiccup.
Hiccup is also the one that checks up on others the most, makes sure they’re ok, not feeling excluded, things like that. It’s because of those moments that the others don’t really challenge Hiccup when he goes all ‘Mother Hen’ on them. It’s an unspoken rule: you’re not really in deep shit until Hiccup pulls out the Mom Voice ™
(Despite how motherly he acts sometimes, he’s still batshit insane and jumps off cliffs for fun. It’s during these moments the roles are reversed and Astrid scolds Hiccup for being reckless)
