oh my god my time has come. so rise of the brave tangled dragons (rotbtd) was basically like crack-cocaine for anyone that was a tween tumblrina in the years 2010-2014 and it consisted of shoving the main characters of rise of the guardians, brave, tangled, and how to train your dragon together by any means possible and creating what i perceived as a twelve year old to be the greatest thing to happen to modern media. and i was completely correct so here's me using that excuse to draw:

What if I just... had a go at all of the HTTYD characters...

So here's Astrid and Dagur the Deranged 🙂‍↕️ I know they both wear armour, but I wanted to show off Astrid's arms HAH. Also, viking armour is extremely hard to research.

There’s a lot of contradictory information, and some pieces of armour were only used in very specific countries or regions. Plus, many of the records we have were written by observers who most likely described things based on what they were already familiar with, so SHRUGS.

closeups + bag charms!! (Shoutout hijack server one time for suggesting charms for everyone mwah)

I’m figuring out prints rn but trust this will be included in my first launch! 🥰

(and ofc plz no reposts of this work!! Or I die (half joke))

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West au for Jack and Hiccup!

For my version of this au, I imagined Hiccup as a former Sky Clan Tenakth who now lives with the Oseram in the Forbidden West, while Jack is a Nora outcast (I couldn't decide between white or brown hair for Jack, so you get both.).

Jack is the one who finds a Focus first and then shares that knowledge with Hiccup. I love thinking about what connects characters and why they’re drawn together, and in my mind, Hiccup already sees machines and the old world differently from everyone else, but he’s missing information to truly understand it.

He sees that Jack is actually using the Focus rather than treating it like an accessory, and Jack chooses to share it with him, offering that missing piece of the puzzle that Hiccup needs to truly understand the metal world. This turns out to be what Jack needed, because while Jack is smart, Hiccup is able to piece things together that jack wouldn’t have been able to do on his own, so they quickly end up relying on each other. I really wanted that trope of working together because: “you have something I want” until that becomes: “you are what I need.”

So, together, they explore the metal ruins and uncover the truth behind the Old World. Hiccup gets a machine companion (Toothless), and Jack gets a glider.

I’m also playing with the idea that all machines have ai like gaia did, so they’re actually capable of feeling and learning (it would probably depend on the species though, I don’t imagine a thunderjaw would be very fun to try and domesticate…), because I want Toothless and Hiccup to have the same connection as they do in the movies.

I haven’t watched the leaked AtLA movie, and there are plenty of reasons why people might decide to wait to watch the new movie until when it officially releases in October. Me? Well, from the screencaps and gif sets I’ve seen, I’ve noticed something incredibly important is missing - Zuko’s lightning scar! There have been claims that the leaked version isn’t 100% complete, so obviously if I wait until October to watch it the final version of the movie will have Zuko’s lightning scar in its full glory, right? …right?

But seriously where is Zuko’s lightning scar? At best, it was a careless mistake, but at worst it was a purposeful decision to erase the physical representation of the culmination of Zuko’s character arc. Why would you choose to erase Zuko’s big hero moment??

After all, from pictures, I know adult Aang still has his lightning scar, and his scar was treated with Spirit Water (!!) and weeks of intensive healing by Katara. If Aang still has his lightning scar after all that, then adult Zuko should absolutely have his too. Aang and Zuko are supposed to be lightning scar buddies!

But hey, the leaked version isn’t the final version supposedly. Zuko’s lightning scar will definitely be there in the final release (a girl can dream…). In the mean time, I’ll be enjoying all the wonderful new fanart available, where luckily many artists do remember Zuko’s lightning scar.
