I’m Atlas

Hiccup holds Toothless' life in his hands and he chooses to let him go, even though Toothless could very well (and might) kill him.

Toothless then has the power and he could easily kill Hiccup. He probably considers it just like Hiccup did, but he responds to Hiccup's kindness with kindness of his own, and he lets him live.

So when Hiccup goes down into the cove, there is already a tentative understanding between them that neither means to bring the other any harm. You have spared me, I have spared you, we are equal.

But both are still wary.

So Hiccup makes a decision to trust Toothless with his life again when he throws the knife into the lake. Not that the knife would have protected him much from Toothless, but it is presumably the same weapon that Hiccup would have taken his life with to begin with, and it's more about what it represents. So Hiccup gives the power in the situation over to Toothless when he throws the knife away. Now that Toothless doesn't see Hiccup as a threat to him, he calms down.

Toothless trusts Hiccup when he eats the fish Hiccup brought with him the first time, and the basket of fish the next time. Eventually, both of them are relaxed. Hiccup can just sit on a stump and draw in the dirt, Toothless can nap, there is no worry that one will kill the other. There is mutual trust.

They bond, Toothless shares his fish, Hiccup smiles (which Toothless clearly understands to some extent bc he smiles back), Toothless draws, Hiccup plays along w Toothless' game, until finally Hiccup decides to reach out to touch him.

He tried before, when Toothless was resting in the sun, but that didn't go very far, bc Toothless didn't trust him. But NOW, things have changed. They have spent enough time together that Toothless is less wary. But not entirely.

Here is a list of realistic weaknesses for the Night Fury species as a whole that disregards both how OP the movies and shows made Toothless and the demonstrably false weaknesses that Grimmel claims they have in THW.

Their underside is smooth and flexible to make them more streamlined. This makes them vulnerable to bite and stab attacks, as well as parasites.

They are susceptible to injuries such as torn muscles and ligaments due to their acrobatic flight style, which can lead to damaged wings and tails.

The thinner membranes, such as tail-fins and base-fins (or secondary wings), are vulnerable to tearing damage if the Night Fury crash lands.

It is more than possible for a Night Fury to break bones if they collide with something at high speed and don’t have time to brace themselves first.

Despite being quite strong for their size, Night Furies cannot sustain a long brawl and can be taken down if their stamina for the fight runs out.

Their black scales absorb heat, meaning they would actually struggle more in hot climates, not in cold climates as certain people claim.

They can have strong allergic reactions to foreign substances entering their bloodstream, such as venom or poison from dragons or hunters.

Hey surprise me and a friend have written a full length original novel! If you like dragons, pirates, my Heart Bind Saga HTTYD fanfiction series, Pirates of the Caribbean or all of the above, you’ll like this XD.

So yeah if you guys could follow my new side blog that’d be swell. I’m still trying to work out how to make the posts appear in chronological order so please bear with me. Does anyone know how to edit urls?

Because when you hear the premise you think:

“Oh wow! Some random boy discovered Toothless’s hideously inbred descendant thousands of years later! This must finally be the time humans and dragons are meant to co-exist after the Berkians did nothing to help make the world a better place for humans and dragons to co-exist because the dragons left them!”

But no. The dragons piss off back to their hole in the end.

So…I guess there will never be a time where humans and dragons can co-exist? What an uplifting and heartwarming saga!

Like I sure do love to see Dean call Toothless "corrupted" in like four different interviews. Love to see him constantly misuse terms like "domesticated". Love to read how that for the Light Fury, this supposed wild pure untainted fierce powerful feral call of the wild wild animal, the sound designers had to "suggest she was female" and so leaned on stereotypes. Love to read that Toothless "kinda forgot" about his former life after only ten years. Love to read that Astrid is meant to be Hiccup's "true support and future". Love to read basically anything regarding the Light Fury and see the filmmakers talk about how she's a female and needs to look like a female and move like a female and act like a female and sound like a female. Love to read how she couldn't look too reptilian despite literally being a dragon and that she couldn't have leopard markings because they looked a little too close to scars. Love to read how she "promises a family and the propagation of Toothless' species" when she's not even actually a Night Fury. Love to read how it was intended that Toothless' "animal instincts"/attraction to the Light Fury become more important to him than his friendship with Hiccup. Love to read how they purposefully changed Valka's design to make her "more appealing". Love to read how one of the functions the Light Fury is supposed to serve is to be "a clarion reminder that wild dragons will attack a human when they see them" like that makes any sense at all to anyone who has seen literally any other piece of HTTYD media. Love to read how the other function she's supposed to serve is to show "that when you find love, that's where you belong" like Hiccup's platonic/brotherly love for Toothless meant nothing when on the official website they're referred to as soulmates. Love to read that the reunion scene is meant to be a "last joyride" and "not an indication that they see each other again".

>   The messages of the previous films, like “fight for what you believe in, even if you’re against people you love and the whole world” and “you may not be able to change everyone, but you can’t let that stop you from fighting for your dreams” are not only abandoned, the narrative treats those messages as ultimately wrong, naive, and childish. Hiccup gives up on his dreams of dragons living with humans, for the sake of having kids and getting married and the film portrays this as natural, right, and inevitable

>   The characters are stripped of all previous growth and dignity, they are suddenly just as, if not MORE stupid than they were in the first movie, when by all logic they should be a better and more cohesive force than ever before. And in the ‘final goodbye’, not even Valka gets more than a few seconds to say goodbye to Cloudjumper, her companion and friend of more than 20 years, when she isn’t being subjected to cringeworthy flirting from a boy half her age (who may or may not be her nephew, as Snotlout was in the books).

>   The film wants us to believe Toothless seeing a female dragon of a similar, but ultimately different species entirely (which the movie can’t even be bothered to tell or show more of) for literal minutes until they both go to the Hidden World, is enough for him to abandon his friend of 6+ years, a friend he fought and shed blood for. A friend who was absolutely willing to die for him. No, this ‘romance’ is more important than that friendship, so important in fact that Toothless forgets Hiccup entirely, if Dean is to be believed. Nevermind that the Hidden World is close enough that there is no reason for Toothless or any of the other dragons not to visit. Leading me to:

Toothless reminisces about Hiccup, he draws him and the Light Fury bitches at him for it. Wut? All this talk about Hiccup “hoarding Toothless to himself” (not true), yet its alright for the Light Fury to do it because…? They’re animals? Mates? Nah. It makes her all the more unlikeable.
