Httyd, Next Gen.
IVE DONE IT, PEOPLE!
After days of writing, trying to find proper names, and (trying to) make it as accurate as possible, I present to you my version of the next generation of dragon riders in httyd (in this AU)!
*(Btw, the descriptions are from a series of stories im making, so it will contain a shit-ton of lore. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
Zephyr Haddock - The eldest of the Haddock children, and the future heir to Berk. She reflects her fathers sarcasticness and creativity. She rides a Stromcutter she named Skysplitter. She is also the unofficial leader of the next generation of Dragon Riders, and is willing to protect all of them, especially Nuffink, when they are in danger. She often feels pressured by this new role, due to the fact she was placed in it overnight, but is guided by Avery. She feels guilty and feels as if it is her fault that her parents, and Berk, are in the state they are in in the first place. She doesn't like to talk about it all that much.
Nuffink Haddock - The youngest of the Haddock children, and while not the heir, still the Chief’s son. Unlike Zephyr, he reflects his mother’s traits of being adventurous and brash. He rides a green Nadder named Buckwing. He tries to help Zephyr the best he can on Dragon’s Edge, but sometimes goofs off with the cousins and Eira. He doesn’t like hearing about Berk, because it reminds him of his parents and the condition they are in.
Scullnut Thorston-Jorgenson - The son of Snotlout and Tuffnut (fraternal mother was Ruffnut). He inherits both of his fathers’ chaotic personalities, while also reflecting their loyalty to their old team. He rides a Typhoomerang named Glowtorch. When he escaped from Berk, Thornut wasn’t on the best terms with his parents (there will be TONS of context on that later). He feels guilty about it, and often feels like they ended up in their condition because of him. He takes his guilt out on the other riders in various forms, like questioning Zephyr’s leading, disobeying Avery and running amok on Dragon’s Edge with the cousins, and often zoning out during combat lectures. (He just doesn’t know any other way to deal with it, and certainly is not the type to talk about his problems).
Runa Ingerman - The daughter of Ruffnut and Fishlegs. She inherited Ruffnut’s chaotic personality and Fishlegs’s love for dragons, so the result was a chaotic love for dragons (I seriously don’t know how that would work out). Runa rides Fogs and Gust, a Zippleback from the Hidden World. She and Scullnut are thicker than the hairiest yak on Berk, because I mean, they are cousins, after all. They often secretly go on little adventures around Dragon’s Edge, just to loosen up a little. They also try not to think of the state Berk, and their parents, are in, afraid of what might’ve happened to them.
Arne - The eldest child of Dagur and Mala, and the future heir of the Defenders of the Wing, and the Berserkers. He reflects his mother’s traits, being calm and collected in times of danger, and knowing when the right time is to strike. He rides a Thunderdrum he named Waves, and often helps Zephyr as second-in-command of the riders, and keeps everyone, especially Eira, in check. He also comforts the riders when they feel at their lowest, and assures them that they are going to defeat Zelda and get their islands and people back.
Eira - The youngest child of Dagur and Mala. She inherited her father’s red hair and wild personality, and his fighting skills as well. She rides a Triple Strike named Wildeye. She has a hobby of chasing some of the Night Terrors around Dragon’s Edge, along with the cousins (Runa and Scullnut). Sometimes even Nuffink joins them as well. But Eira does have a more serious side to her. She looks up to both of her parents (mostly her father), and refuses to believe that he fell to a crazy lady and her dragon. So, whenever someone mentions him or anything related to him, she goes quiet and isolates herself for the rest of the day.
*I'm sorry if this isn't accurate/is cringey. As I said before, I tried to make it as accurate as possible (for this AU).
Sometimes I log on to tumblr just to look at this because it makes me happy
On a road trip so here's a wobbly doodle of Hiccup beaming over his first child.

Change the Zephyr gender? Easy! What for? Because I wanted to!
Хех...я вернулась...Не думаю, что этот арт с этим “знаменитым” персонажем, особенно на просторах тамблера, заинтересует кого-либо. Но попытаться стоит, так ведь?

Heh...I came back...I do not think that this art with this “famous” character, especially in the vast Tumblr, will interest anyone. But it's worth a try, isn't it?
types of people - soft words
aeonian (everlasting): childhood friendships, tire swings, easily excited, listening to classical music, crowded ice rinks, inside jokes, watching old shows, nostalgia
ephemeral (lasting for a very short time): high school crushes, doubt, fake smiles and laughter, heartache, rush of cold air, overthinking
dulcet (sweet, sugary): the feeling of wanting more, insercuity, soft smiles, eye contact, talks at 12 am, heartfelt kisses, holding hands, sleepiness, bright eyes
opulent (lush): meeting someone new, comfortable silence, saying things in unison, light through the trees, birds chirping, staring at the clouds
zephyr (a gentle breeze): early morning road trips, sitting outside in the evening, compromise, long hugs, stargazing, giggling, making a pillow fort, relaxing
cupidty (eager or excessive desire): floral scents, golden sunrise, glowing moons, walking in the forest, picking flowers, rose gold jewelry
There is a new story I'm working on, Interference! A slice of life with a supernatural plot.
It's mostly comedy, since the characters here are kind of weird.
This is our protagonist, Iris Carnevale! She's still studying and loves restoring objects and give them a new purpose. Is very kind but tends to freak out easily, so it's difficult for her to... Well, get used to her roommate.
And this is Zephyr! The weird, but surprisingly nice entity who lives in Iris recently acquired vintage television, since he inhabits “forgotten objects”. He doesn't know much of the human world.
The cover for the story! The first title I had for this was Intermission, but I think Interference is nice too, so I went along with it.
The story revolves about Iris trying to teach him about the world and make sure that no one knows who he really is, and Zephyr trying to comprehend the world in which he lives now.
The Picrews I've used for making the characters are this ones:
Iris
Zephyr
I'm happy to be able to write something that is mine, I love writing fanfics but I want to try with this and see how far it goes.
More details coming soon!
