The gang's reaction when Hiccup mentions that he considers them his friends.
Astrid (with a slight disappointment):
Friends?.. Yes, of course, friends, you're right… 
Snotlout (irritated): I repeat for the hundredth time – we are NOT friends at all!!!
Gemini (stunned): What?! After all we've done, do you consider us your friends?! Awww! 
Fishlegs (with a grateful smile): // the only one in the group who does not find fault with words//
BONUS
Dagur: "Friends"?) You wanted to say "brothers"?))) Hiccup: Oh, don't start…

hate it when there's a book where the premise is good but the execution is limp dicked because now i have to read it and grind my teeth over how good it could have been the entire time. look what you've done to me.

I love the fact that Hiccup has a whole little speech that he periodically gives Astrid to remind her that the twins serve a purpose like what else does he have to constantly remind them of
The 'Snotlout is clearly going through something rn just let him be stupid' speech
The 'Stop telling Tuffnut you're gonna eat Chicken, I can only handle him sobbing in my hut for so long' speech
The 'Stop jumping out at Fishlegs at night' speech
The 'Don't interrupt Astrid while she's throwing axes bc I can't save you' speech
The 'No you CANNOT shove the dragon eye up your ass no matter HOW MUCH you want to see if the projection scome outof your mouth' speech (that one's mostly for Tuffnut)

The fact that the Httyd gang knows about the effect of dragon nip but they are never seen using it on any dragons throughout the franchise unless it's like a last resort or an emergency to stop extremely out of control, hostile dragons. They know that grass is like a drug for the dragons so they never use it against them even to try and train them. As if it is against their moral code to try the easiest way to tame any dragon.
Like, these kids know all these little perks about dragons that Hiccup learned in the first movie. The dragon nip, eels, moving spot of light, specific disabling scratch spots etc. And none of them uses these to befriend or train any dragons throughout the course of the franchise! Dragon nip is an emergency last resort for when they encounter a super aggressive dragon, eels are an absolute no, nobody used shiny laser light spot on any dragons post Httyd 1.
No, they befriend the dragons with trust. They'll only give a dragon scratches after asking permission that is telegraphed in their body language.
The riders respect dragons and there are so many little subtle things which show how they never treat these incredible amazing beings as if they are animals, they always treat them as individuals. As equals.
I love Httyd so much like you have no idea.

Thinking about how Hiccup is considered The Dragon Rider by friend and foe alike, including his Dragon Riders.
Thinking about how he's the Dragon Master. Even when facing Drago Bludfist, the other Riders were fearless because they knew Hiccup and Toothless ("The best Dragon Master this world has ever seen!") were coming.
About how Hiccup trained the Riders' dragons and he retains that relationship all throughout RoB through RttE. How he's still considered the best rider and trainer, though he has taught many others his tricks and skills. He's even indirectly helped teach Heather!
The Riders consider the Hand Thing his Hand Thing! Before the twins ask if they can do it, too, in RttE, no one thought they could do that as well.
Heather and Astrid talk about how he can train any dragon minus a few. Mala, Queen of the Defenders, believes only Hiccup can truly train a dragon.
And when Hiccup returns home in Httyd 2, the people cheer because Berk's Pride has come home and he'll deal with Drago for them.
Tonight, I'm just having a lot of feelings about the boy who no one thought would be anything other than a nuisance (they literally chose a dangerous possibly very fatal and potentially USELESS expedition over spending time with Hiccup!) becoming so revered by almost anyone he knows.

I love that the tension between Snotlout and Hiccup went from Snotlout openly underminding Hiccup's authority and constantly trying to one-up him in Riders of Berk to their dynamic in Race to the Edge, where Snotlout essentially just goes "No, don't like your plan, no I don't have a better one, yes I am going to listen to you, but I will be whining and complaining the entire time, as is my right."
Peak sibling behaviour.

estibarith & rider (some guy. idk who that is)
she has a typical green dragon conformation. i liked the idea of caterpillar imagery?? so spiracle markings along her side as well as (eventually) large eye spots on the second wingsail when she's in season (i may be taking liberties but in canon dragons do get darker around mating time so i'll call it plausible). the wing lineart was massively complicated and i despaired the whole time 👍
she has a relatively large vertical stabiliser due to her short body and stubby tail. this keeps her stable in the air and prevents uncontrolled yaw. but like most greens the aerodynamic drag is tiring for her, and her flight, while incredibly precise and acrobatic, is highly inefficient.

Ooo!! What's the dragonriders of pern???
NOT to contest the claim of trekkies everywhere, but Anne McCaffrey of Dragonriders Of Pern fame invented sex pollen and omegaverse in the 60s. Whether or not this is a good thing is up for interpretation
Dragonriders of Pern is a series of sci-fi novels that started in the 60s about human settlers on the planet of Pern who live in a pre-industrial era. Every few hundred years, their planet comes under fire from Thread, an invasive rainfall shed by a nearby dwarf planet that destroys all organic matter it touches. To fight Thread, humans have genetically engineered dragons which breathe fire to burn the Thread before it harms anyone. The series starts during an unusually long lull between Threadfalls, and in the centuries people have neglected their dragon riders and dragons to the point where when Thread does inevitably fall again, they are completely unequipped to fight it. Nearly all common dragon riding genre tropes originate from Pern!! Anne McCaffrey was the blueprint. I adore this series, but my favourite part is how as the series go on, the characters slowly uncover the truth that they are aliens in this world, dig up ancient technology, learn to use it, and progress as a society. The genre shift from fantasy to sci-fi is one of my favourite things to experience and, as the reader, slowly realising the forgotten truths that the characters themselves are unaware of is great. In this regard, a big inspiration for my Siren setting.
The series contains scenes of sexual assault and a weird adult/minor love story so I can't in good conscience recommend it without pointing this out. It should be considered a product of its time and approached with a critical lens. It was also one of the first books I ever read with normalised gay side characters and gay sex (not any of the main characters) so that was cool. For anyone wondering my fave is obviously F'nor.

The twins are SO smart. They successfully sneak into a MASSIVE dragon hunter operation, Ruff managed to steal that key by faking an emotional breakdown and confuse Viggo about when they would attack, they're constantly teaching the gang new words and concepts, they speak at LEAST 3 languages, they've written at LEAST one book that was on the top of some best seller list somewhere, they've memorized so many random facts that they will never need, they've managed to learn how to fly through the air and do BATTLE while working together with each other AND both heads of their dragon as ONE UNIT
