I just found out I have 999 followers? And holy vegetable-that-no-one-dares-name, that is insane.
My very first httyd book drawings were from How to cheat a dragon's curse, so here is another from book 4. It's a little messy because it took an hour, but I had to do something for the occasion.

Hi, I know I‘m super late for doomsday and this looks kinda underwhelming. But I‘m here. Last couple weeks have been a little hard and doing art on a schedule kinda stressed me even more. Sorry :(
This is for day one, book one

Been a long time since I've drawn and my sketchbooks are still unpacked (along with most of my books), but you really think I was gonna do nothing this year. Happy first day of Doomsday!

First day of doomsday!!
A lot of the stuff I'll be posting for doomsday is kind of old 😭 but i wanna use the pieces I have that ARE themed around a certain book on whichever days I can, so this one is an oldish piece of Hiccup and Merciless :]

LAST DAY 😭 HAPPY 12TH DAY OF DOOMSDAY
AAAAAAUUUGGHHH
Every time I reread book 12, when I get to single combat I start to feel antsy because I know that Furious is going to be poisoned again. And as I read further I start to feel sad because I know it's ending. Again.
But I keep reading because the happy ending is always worth it. Hiccup has finally reached his ideal, impossible tomorrow.
It's a lot

BOOK ELEVEN BOOK ELEVEN AAA
BIG SPILLERS FOR BOOK ELEVEN
OK I WARNED YOU
Tumblr media
AAAA
I had two things for book eleven but like cmon
Had to share this one, and i can use the other one tomorrow since i don't have anything epic for it otherwise sob
I drew this when i thought his hair was black for some reason bc despite my 800 rereads idk i just
Nothing clicked.
Then for a while after that i thought he was blonde bc blonde moustache and i kinda like that idea but then the wiki says he's also a redhead so like
Yeah, ANYWAY
How to Betray a Dragons Hero is my favourite one of the books i think 🫶🫶 from start to finish it's just such a masterpiece of an emotional rollercoaster. The moment it starts we see even more the devastation Furious and Alvin's war has wreaked, the dragons having caused forests and cities and islands to be reduced to ash in their rage and the Alvinsmen having driven these dragons further into their rage by killing them and stoking their anger every single day.
And then there's Hiccup and i just
The poor boy ok
I look back at how young he was through the series and find having started as younger than he ever was and now being older than we ever get to see him (excluding the epilogue) it feels like I've grown up with him.
And with Fishlegs.
I may resonate with this book most bc we all have an idea of what it is to be othered by society. The loneliness Hiccup and Fishlegs face, the isolation Camicazi faces for truly her first time now standing with these two boys, and the hope for better resonates deep in me.
I love how Cressida, in all her novels, seem to center around this quote of hers from wizards of once.
"We have to trust in the children and hope for the best."
She puts so much emphasis on the childlike hope, the lack of cynicism and the reality that change IS possible if you're willing to chase it. And even if you don't see it come to fruition, it's a matter of two steps forward and one step back.
Hiccup makes it to tomorrow (literally lives another day) because of Snotlout realizing that no matter what, you can start to fight for the better. The war ended because of Snotlout's act of selfless bravery even though he never saw the end of it.
I think another reason these themes resonate with me is it also aligns with some biblical aspects. How Jesus said that children would inherit the kingdom of God, and how childlike faith is necessary.
These are definitely thoughts i wanted to tack onto book/day twelve but oh well, here we are.
I really love these books and hopefully have some musings left for book 12 tomorrow. Happy Doomsday!!
