Even editing this made me uncomfortable. Why is she built like that bruh

THIS REDESIGN GIVES ME LIFE

New design, this time vaguely based on a leopard shark. She’s actually aquatic now!

YES MORE AQUATIC!!

I know this is wild late, but felt like giving the light fury a redesign. (Also, has anyone noticed she has kind of a bobble head? No? Just me? Ok.)

Nicely done! Her original design felt too smooth.

even more HTTYD 3 salt

I hate talking about this movie but I saw something that made my blood boil again. even though the thing itself is not bad. it’s the thoughts it gives me.

this deleted scene. it’s actually charming. it’s nice. it’s pretty. it feels like something from the HTTYD universe. it’s not rushed like the actual romanic flight scene we got in the moive, it’s not boring and unoriginal, it flows so much better and it’s far more dynamic. the Light Fury actually acts like a dragon that has a personality to maintain. ignoring the gravity-defying moments, this is genuinely nice and honestly better than the entire third movie.

and most importantly, this didn’t give Toothless any more sudden, OP powers he has no reason to have.

the sad part is that this was probably cut because the filmmakers thought “oh, boohoo, it’s too long, we need to work on other bullshit :((((” like always, or believed that the Light Fury was too much of a perfect lady to be playful. just look at all the early concepts for the Light Fury. she was supposed to be a dragon. they were going to make her a dragon. but instead, they decided she had to be a damsel and cut off anything that wasn’t perfect and charming, including any sort of playful nature.

to this day i still don’t understand what the hell they were thinking.

good job, Dean.

LOOK AT HIM.

*screams for eternity*

help.

lately I’ve been obsessed with Karel Chladek’s work. He captures public intimacy in nightclubs and all sorts of public venues.

So I redrew one of my favourite photographs of his as a Hiccstrid, because nightclub!Hiccstrid should be a bigger thing better enjoyed if you turn your brightness up! do not repost because if you do, I will find you.

HTTYD: Homecoming

Okay guys, so we know that the Christmas special will take place after the ending scene in HTTYD 3...so I made a list of some of the things I would absolutely kill to see:

Honestly my mind is just going crazy with theories and storylines and I cant fucking wait for this to come out.

Please feel free to add stuff to this list

Why Astrid Was Hesitant to Get Married

I’ve seen a lot of people quite shocked by this on Astrid’s part. I personally hadn’t seen it coming, had simply thought that Hiccup and Astrid hadn’t had the time to get married, but when I saw it in the movie it made sense to me, even when Astrid didn’t really explain her feelings. Hiccup and Astrid have been together for a long time, so why the reluctance to get married? Hiccup wasn’t at all hesitant and really seemed to be wanting to do it, but Astrid said they weren’t ready for marriage. Well, clearly one of them was ready, and it certainly wasn’t Astrid. Why? 

More of a headcanon than anything, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it: Astrid’s afraid of pregnancy. She’s a warrior by nature. Not only does she want to be able to defend herself, but those she cares about. She also doesn’t like being told what to do. Pregnancy, in the later stages, would probably make her feel pretty helpless compared to her usual self, and helplessness is not something Astrid wants to endure. She also would have to limit activity even in the early part of pregnancy to keep the baby healthy. She’d have to focus on herself and the baby instead of taking care of other people, and she’d be limited in what she could do. So, to Astrid, pregnancy probably seems like helplessness, and she’s terrified of that.

Pregnancy, however, can’t be avoided when you’re marrying a chief. Believe it or not, but the Vikings actually had birth control and a little bit of an understanding of what actually went into making a baby, so it was a more or less avoidable fate. Not for the chief’s wife though. As rulers, she and Hiccup would have to produce heirs. That would be one of their main jobs after getting married. Astrid probably felt a lot of pressure stepping into this role. What if she couldn’t get pregnant? What if she couldn’t carry a baby to full term? What if she was a bad parent? As Hiccup’s wife, none of these anxieties are avoidable, because they need heirs, and she’s the one that has to carry them.

For Hiccup, the marriage doesn’t really change much about their relationship. It’s not a heavy mantle being set on him. The only new thing is that he has to be able to aid in reproduction. Astrid, on the other hand, has to take on the responsibility of bearing children. Marrying Hiccup means she has to deal with something she’s quite possibly afraid of, and even without that fear, it’s a heavy burden to have.

Astrid wasn’t hesitant to marry Hiccup out of a lack of love or care for him. Not at all. It’s quite clear through the way she treats him that she does indeed love him. Though, for her and Hiccup, marriage has two different roles, and she’s been given the harder part to play.

(End of essay. Now I want to write a fic where they sit and talk about this.)

Tag me if you write the fic!!!

My second entry for the Duo contest ^^ I’m not sure how I feel about the colors. Are they too pale? Do they look good on your monitor? It’s hard to say with pretty much all of my art, because I know my monitor is fairly decalibrated……c:

I actually like the colors! They’re very soft! This is a great piece!

How To Train Your Dragon I How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

notice the growth in her belief in him too… the second time she’s waaaay more sassy and like poke poke I KNOW you’ve got a plan up there let’s get it done.. but in the first she’s just starting to reach out, to feel out the fight and optimism she knows is inside Hiccup’s heart. By now, she knows it’s there and she’s been through heaven and hell with him and she loves him, and she trusts him.
