a soul full of stars

Hi petra and lukas

heres another thing im not going to finish....

Hoping to make more side content of these gals... They don't appear in the fic very much

batim/batdr doodle dump!!!! i got back to my roots and it's the best thing ever

back when they lived at dragons edge, he broke into astrids hut because he was curious if she had a different top bcuz she was always wearing the same blue one (she did have more tops, but they were all the same color) and got caught and questioned for 50 minutes straight

"hiccup why were you IN MY HOUSE."

"i was js wondering if u had a different top"

"yeah but couldn't you ask?"

"that would've been weird"

Something about how his first instinct was to not only lower his guard by dropping his gaze, but to drop his dexterity too. It's also consistent with how he first dropped his knife at the beginning of the scene, and while it's definitely because his other hand was first occupied, it seems to carry through for the most iconic scene

To jump into the unknown with as much control as possible is one thing. To jump into the unknown completely vulnerable is another

To give up control is such a theme in almost all the httyd franchise. Letting and trusting your dragon, not taking control but following another's lead. I find it so fitting that even if not fully intentional, Hiccup's hand choice reflects his own principles in such a subtle way

Makes me emotional

Edit: woah this is still blowing up woah. Just to add yes obv it is a positioning thing for the actual scene, but I'd argue he could be approaching from the left instead to keep with his dominant hand
