You know what hurts most about this scene?

I noticed while rewatching some httyd 3 clips, that at this point Hiccup didn’t have his leg, obviously because he had to lose it to get rid of Grimmel.

But it’s so much more than that.

As Hiccup draws away from Toothless after saying goodbye, he hobbles and Astrid helps him stand.

He literally can’t stand alone at this moment.

A major part of him is missing in this scene, and a major part of his life is now leaving. The leg itself symbolises their bond, and now it’s gone.

He has to lean on Astrid physically and figuratively, because his best friend is now gone. He can’t rely on Toothless, can’t lean on him.

It almost mirrors the scene in the first movie where Toothless helps him stand with his new leg, instead now he is going, giving the responsibility of helping Hiccup up to Astrid.

Hiccup, basically, in the entirety of the 3rd movie
