Happy Valentine’s Day! <3 To celebrate the love, I decided to repost these paintings that I made of Hiccup and Astrid a while back. I hope you like it :)
So after two months of waiting (which is expected since I live in a far away country and thanks to the worldwide lockdowns), these finally came in the mail at last!
There are extra goodies provided too, such as these adorable and lovely stickers.
A huge thank you and hugs to @martabm90 for putting a lot of work and love in creating these. Not to mention she was so kind in updating me of any delays due to uncontrollable circumstances. It was worth the long wait and I encourage you all to check out her artwork on Instagram (as @mabumart). Not to mention her shop on Etsy has a lot of great stuff you can purchase from (once it’s open again in a few weeks).
Before meeting Grimmel, Hiccup studies his map and his father’s diary.
And, as you may remember, there is a small fight next, and a fire starts in Hiccup’s house.
But in the next scene in the assembly hall, Hiccup uses the map and book again.
Question:how did the book and map survive the fire?
I assume it was Astrid who pulled the book and map out of the fire. She knew that these things were important to Hiccup, and she alone had fireproof armor and free hands (Gobber carried Fishlegs, Valka held a shield and staff, Hiccup held a sword and shielded himself from the smoke with his free hand).
Then it is quite symbolic that in the scene on New Berk, she gives the book to Hiccup.
P.S. Or the Vikings just put out the fire in time, and the book and map survived.
I love this but wasn’t Astrid the first to flee the scene?
You guys..holy shit. 1 MILLION VIEWS ON MY HICCSTRID VIDEO?! This is by far the single most popular video on my channel, and it’s one I didn’t think anyone would be interested in because it’s literally just 34 minutes of Hiccup and Astrid. There’s no genius editing techniques, it’s something I made on my phone without planning to…and it’s got 1 million views??
Honestly, I love Hiccstrid so much and I’m so glad that other people enjoy the video?? It makes me so happy that there’s so many people out there who love the couple and the Dragons franchise as much as I do ♥️
“After many years involved in a never ending war between Vikings and Dragons, Astrid Hofferson is going for a quest to find the one who taught her the truth about dragons ten years ago, but he’s also the most searched criminal in the whole Archipielago. However, he’s the only hope to end this war. Would Astrid find the same person after so long?”
We are proud to announce with @itsasumbrella The release of the first chapter Thursday 16th.
Ok, this is probably a very bad idea to post it here, but here goes.
This originated from a simple thought that after the event’s of second movie, Hiccup is going to have a REALLY hard time. He’s often going to hide in the shadows, exhausted. How to lift the mood of someone who’s down? with a little affection. Sometimes it comes a little unexpected…
A series of sketches with a little colors splashed. After scanning it wasn’t exactly clear what was in the shadow and what was not.
“Of course we’re snowed in, I can’t even be surprised any longer” Hiccup mutters, pushing against the door with all his might. He wishes it would work, but of course it doesn’t.
He steps back, frowning at the door.
If the dragons we’re still around there would be an easy solution to this - make the dragons outside melt the snow or at least scoop it away. But the dragons aren’t here and Hiccup is at a loss as to what to do.
This of course happened before they befriended the dragons too, but the hatch-in-the-roof solution before was cast away when they rebuilt the village to make it easier for the dragons. And now that they’ve actually moved the entire village, they didn’t exactly think that they would be snowed in again.
So Hiccup has no idea what to do.
Muttering and grumbling he goes to sit down in front of the fire, doing his best to stay warm. The house feels empty, deserted and he sinks lower into the chair.
Right now, the quiet is overwhelming.
And that’s when he remembers - Astrid is outside! She went on a short trip a few days ago and should be back by the latest tomorrow.
He breathes a sigh of relief and relaxes.
Astrid’ll fix this, he knows she will.
That’s just what she does.
So Hiccup decides to take this rare chance and do nothing.
Being chief there’s always something that has to be done - someone’s sheep went missing, a grumble about whatever or just general complaints about wanting to go back to Berk.
But now he can relax, and be lazy - he has no expectations to uphold.
The first thing on his bucket list is to work on his book about dragons.
He started on it when he first met Toothless and continued to fill it in when he learned new things about the different species. It’s all just scribbles however, and he never got the time to write it out properly with all the responsibilities just lining up.
So eagerly he digs out his old notebooks and sits down by his desk, a stack of new papers in front of him.
He immerses himself in the work, forgetting all about the world outside the door. The only time he looks up it’s because the candle burned out, and he makes a double-take at how dark it’s suddenly become.
“Oops” he mutters and reluctantly puts the stuff away.
He’ll need all the sleep he could get if he were to have any energy to deal with pissed off vikings tomorrow.
“-up! Hiccup! Hiccup!”
“Huh? What?” Hiccup sits straight in the bed and rubs his eyes. Did he imagine his name being shouted or…?
“Hiccup! Are you in there? By Odin’s ghost, answer me!”
“Astrid?” he mumbles, standing up.
“HICCUP HADDOCK THE THIRD, ANSWER OR SO HELP ME I AM GOING TO SEND YOU TO HEL ONCE I GET IN THERE!”
“Yup, definitely Astrid” Hiccup chuckles and then stops.
Astrid’s here! He’s going to get out!
“Astrid! I’m here!” he shouts as he runs to the door. “I’m here!”
“Hiccup?”
“Yes, I’m right here!”
“Oh thank Odin, are you okay?” Astrid shouts through the door, all the while continuing to shovel show.
“Yeah, I’m fine! We only got snowed in yesterday” Hiccup answers, feeling the strain on his voice from how loud he has to shout.
“Hold on a bit longer, I’m almost through!” Astrid shouts, ignoring how sweaty she is. She’s just going to look at this as a workout. Nothing more, nothing less.
To save their voices they stay quiet, the only sound being the shoveling of snow.
All of a sudden the door starts creaking as it’s pulled outwards, and Hiccup quickly pushes as well.
It’s flinged open so suddenly that Hiccup loses his balance and tumbles right into a pile of snow.
“Okay, that’s cold, that is definitely cold!” he exclaims and quickly gets up, shivering as he pushes the snow off of him.
He’s immediately pushed back into the same pile when Astrid throws herself at him and he topples over. He doesn’t complain though, after a moment of surprise he just hugs back as they lay there for a while.
“I’m fine - I had enough wood to get by” he whispers, rubbing circles on Astrid’s back.
“But it could have gone so much worse” Astrid mutters into his chest and he hums.
‘It could’ve, but it didn’t because you saved me - just like I knew you would” Hiccup smiles as Astrid looks up at him. “And now we’ll get the rest of the village out together, right?”
“Right” Astrid nods in confirmation and she releases the hug. She gets up and pulls Hiccup with her.
“Let’s just get the hatch in the roof back, okay?”
“Hiccup’s mother —Valka— she and I always dreamed of having a daughter of our own” - Stoick the vast
Stoick was such a great man, who deeply loved his daughter in law. I picture him as someone who would definitely adore a little girl, so it hurts to know that Stoick never experienced the joy of loving his granddaughter, Zephyr.
THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO MAKE asdfgh, BUT, it’s finally done! I tried to recreate one of my fave moments of Hidden World as best as I could with little to no references :3 Hope you guys like it!
