Everyone's all "Dagur should've stayed dead" and "Viggo's fakeout death was kinda cliche" but nobody ever mentions the og death faker:

First three requests! ✨
Holmes for @cryptidcaper
Bertie for @technecat and @cool_lilegg - not playing piano but I hope the infamous banjolele will be also satisfactory 🪕
Something HTTYD for @startheviking I chose His Most Mighty Murderousness Alvin the Treacherous, hope you don't mind (also thank you for this, always a pleasure) 🐉

alvin the treacherous is so fucking funny cuz he is genuinely the worst man you will ever meet and the story never once gives him the time of day to suggest otherwise but he's also fate's personal punching bag and as it turns out his mother is genuinely the worst woman you will ever meet so he's fucked but you can't really blame him for being that way plus he's canonically hot so i thank god every day that they never adapted the books faithfully or else we'd never hear the end of his poor little meow meowness

Rewatching Heather Report, Part 1, for the first time since starting on the Httyd books has made me realize just how similar Heather's first appearance is to Alvin's in the books.
Heather was "shipwrecked", much like how Alvin was found in a coffin at sea, both have a sea-related introduction.
Heather is trying to be friendly with Hiccup and friends, because she wants something from Berk. Alvin was trying to be friendly with Hiccup and his tribe, because he wanted something from Berk.
Heather got closer to Hiccup by helping him with his forging. Alvin got closer to Hiccup by helping him with something.
Heather worked for the Outcasts. Alvin worked for the Outcasts.
Astrid was almost immediately suspicious of Heather, she tried to warn Hiccup. Toothless was immediately suspicious of Alvin, he tried to warn Hiccup.
Heather mostly succeeded in her mission. Alvin almost succeeded in his mission.
The tv-shows are probably the closest to the books than the movieverse has ever gotten.

Rating HTTYD antagonists/villains because I can
Stoick the Vast
8/10
He was an antagonist in the first movie change my mind. His conflict with Hiccup was super interesting and compelling, definetly one of my favorite parts of the movie
The Red Death
6/10
It did it’s job ig? It felt like a video game boss lol
Mildew
-100/10
I hate this greasy shit stain of a man and I have no clue how he got three wives
Fungus deserves better tbh
The Whispering Death
7.5/10
Fucking terrifying dude, absolute nightmare fuel, I love it (and it’s history w Toothless is a cool addition)
The Screaming Death
6/10
Not as scary as the whispering death, honestly, it was alright
Alvin the Outcast
7/10
Pretty basic, but he was solid. Really enjoy most of the episodes he’s in and I like the tie in w his history with Stoick
Savage
3/10
The greasiest man alive. He discovered free will halfway through Race to the Edge and even then he succeeded and literally nothing he tried. He’s kinda funny sometimes ig.
Heather the Unhinged
3/10
She was just so slimy and annoying in rob I didn’t like her at all lol
Beast (The Skrill)
8/10
I love all of the Skrill episodes so much omg. She’s so cool, I wish there was more of them
Dagur the Deranged
20/10
He’s actually insane and for that he’s my favorite. He’s just so good he’s so much fun
Berthel
1/10
He adds nothing to the story and I don’t particularly like him
Amos
2/10
His first episode is meh but I like some of his lines in Sandbusted
Ryker Grimborn
5/10
He’s alright. I like him well enough, but he’s certainly not my favorite HTTYD villain
Viggo Grimborn
15/10
Obsessed with this man. Easily the best HTTYD villain in the franchise and he creates the best conflicts in the series by far. I love the way he mirrors Hiccup’s character, I could honestly go on for a while about how much better he is than all of the other villains in the whole franchise lol
Krogan
7/10
His overall vibe is super cool and I really enjoyed that episode where he and Viggo were looking for ways to kill each other. His design is awesome
Trader (Traitor) Johann
10/10
Ruined the way I looked back on the hours in my childhood I spent watching ROB/DOB, I have never felt so betrayed in my life and I never will again, this man gave me trust issues
Drago Bludvist
3/10
He was alright, but I was never really scared of him. I liked how he killed Stoick, and he put Hiccup in an interesting situation, but other than that, he just didn’t do it for me
Grimmel the Grisly
0/10
Knock-off Viggo Grimborn. ‘You’ve never seen anyone like me’ yeah, alright. I hate his face and did not care about him. He shouldn’t have been the last straw for sending the dragons away, honestly
Spitelout Jorgenson
-100000000000000000000000/10
I hate him. This garbage man is an antagonist and you can’t change my mind. The Worst.

I see this post has brought on some confusion lately
@selznick @wordswordsorswordswords
Understandable
I too routinely mistake fully grown men for chipmunks
So I have made for you all this handy chart for you to reference, in the hopes that this will assuage any future confusion
I will add more information if the need arises and there is still confusion, but i feel this should be enough to tell the difference in the meantime

We do not give enough credit to Defenders of Berk for portraying Hiccup as still being a kid despite being the epic cartoon hero. Ya know he and Toothless and his other 15-16 year old pals can defeat a whole armada but Hiccup still has room for growth and is still learning about the people around him and the world and shit. One of my favourite exchanges is when he's talking to Alvin about why he's so pissed at Stoick and Berk in the first place, and Alvin says that he was upset, to which Hiccup replies snarkily, "Really? For twenty years?" like that is such a kid thing to do!! because he's sus of alvin and disbelieving him, not putting two and two together that actually yes that is totally justifiable. and he learns from that encounter!!
