Off-topic? Ha! No such thing! :)
So this is sort of an overall off-topic post for all other random things that don't quite fit the purpose of the request post.
You know, questions you'd like answered, random other bits of fluff, discussions about how thus-and-such pairing rocks way hardcore ...
So ... *claps* Get to it! Post to your Disney-loving heart's content! ♥

Elsa gets to be herself with Toothless. He doesn't care that she has ice powers. Except, hey I get to shoot at ice, that's fun!
Ooh, Disney does have a handful of dragons in Disney. Hmm, Mushu could be related to Terrible Terrors, somehow. Chinese variant perhaps? Or an ancestor to the Terror. He also talks too... so there's that. Gosh, if Mushu and Mulan met Toothless and Hiccup, oh my gosh. FuckYeah, Maleficent being Toothless's mum is certainly an idea of how this dragon who's called the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself came about. Aside from, you know, the normal ways. I like to think that Freyja and Thor are actually his parents. Thor being the god of lightning and Freyja being one of the gods of death in Norse Mythology. But that's probably because I love ( ... )

...am I babbling enough yet?

Huh, so dragons might be able to produce asexually, cool. I always just sort of imagined that Hiccup would come across dragon mating and realize, oh yeah, Snoggletog is coming up, they're going to have babies. And also be super uncomfortable. Or take notes (Fishlegs would totally take notes.) I bet when dragon mating season comes around it is fucking loud around Berk and everyone's just like, "Hiccup." And he's like, "What? What do you want me to do about it? Tell them, hey can you please stop roaring so loud while you have dragon sex? Oh Hel naw. I'm going to go fly. Let's go Toothless."
Do reptiles go into heat or anything like that?
I've read a few really great fics where Hiccup finds out Toothless is a girl because Toothless has babies. Two of my favorites are: "Small Surprises" by thefrogg and "EGGS?!" by lalaiethaI tend to read Toothless as male, but I love the idea of him being female, too. I just love him so much, so it doesn ( ... )

Yeah, it's the ZW sex-determination system, and while wikipedia probably isn't the best resource in the world, it is at least readable. And that's still far from the only sex-determination system other than XY - we've got at least one prompt about the fact that clown fish spontaneously change sex, the temperature thing like affects some snakes and turtles, and loads of others. Or even one which only exists in dragons because they're goddamn dragons. I was probably remembering reading these examples about komodo dragons, though, because they're called dragons and also because they're awesome scary. (And bigger than me. But many things are ( ... )

I've heard that Astrid/Hiccup will be an official couple by HTTYD2. When Hiccup looks like he does in your icon and askhgka is that really the same person. Though I suppose he still doesn't fit Viking appearance standards. (I'm waiting on the Hiccup/Jack fics using HTTYD2 Hiccup where Hiccup is the top and the assertive one and Jack is the bishie younger bottom, just because it will be so funny.) And I do ship Astrid/Hiccup, though not to the desperate OTP extent that I have fallen in love with Kida/Milo, and I definitely see the similarities ( ... )

To be fair, Fishlegs and Snotlout are the only ones to fit with Viking appearance standards (which is muscles, basically), whereas everyone else is skinny and tall (Snotlout's short, though, but he's still taller than me. Thor Bless the HTTYD website and Dreamworks for including height information.)
I get the feeling that by the time HTTYD2 occurs, they've been together years (probably ~5 years, given that it takes place 5 years later), and they're practically married but not really (or practically engaged but not really). I get the feeling that Stoick's putting the pressure on them to get married, though ( ... )

Stop making me want to write this fic, omg. I don't have any excuse because it's not even Disney and I have so much freaking stuff I SHOULD be working on right now. But am not, because I fail at life and keep getting distracted by other shiny prompts.
Hookfang probably wonders why he got stuck with the stupid human, but he can't swap now because who else would look after the chump? Kinda like how cats think about their humans.
(ON THAT NOTE, I accidentally a second cat, another stray, and it is the cutest thing. askjghdh I just wanted to say that.)
Say, have you seen the Talking Kitty videos on Youtube? They're hilarious; this guy films his cat and dubs it so that it looks like the cat is talking. I have serious intentions of using HTTYD clips so we have Toothless going, "Oh, fuck off" instead.

Hookfang totally would think Snotlout's a chump. Well, Snotlout is kind of a chump, lol. But he's a precious chump.
(Congrats on your new kitty cat!)
Oh my Thor, those videos are freaking glorious. Thank you for telling me about them, because wow, so freaking funny. And I can totally see Toothless saying stuff like "Fuck off, Hiccup, gods." I dunno if you've seen the first five minutes of HTTYD2 that Yahoo Movies has posted on Youtube (it's here if you're curious), but like, basically some of the Hiccup and Toothless interaction, like, totally that. Like, it totally feels like they're seconds away from calling each other assholes in an affectionate manner. Which is probably their friendship after five years of knowing each other.
This is why I love sequels because gosh, I get to see these characters again and see how in the intervening time they've grown and yay seeing characters again. I mean, in the roughly ten years between TS2 and TS3 for example, like everyone goes from being ostensibly coworkers to to being a ( ... )

Seeing Hiccup older and hotter is a little... unsettling. A little bit like what happened seeing Sulley go from a generation older than me to a few years younger. *blinks*
Now my housemate is also getting into the TV series. Watching Dagur the second time round is even more unsettling because woah, Dagur is completely Mr. McRapeyface. Like, someone must have looked at the character and gone, "Creepier... creepier... yep, there. THAT is how rapey we need him to be." What the hell.

I personally felt a bit offput by Sulley being younger mostly because of some of his behavior is so different than he is in MI. It's like, no, Sulley please don't act like a dbag you're supposed to be a sweet ball of fluff stop it.
Maybe the unsettling bit is the change in age and how you can react to him now? Instead of calling him a precious adorable baby (as he his as a teenager), you can call him a total hottie (at 20). Yeah, it is unsettling. Like, wait a minute, I knew you when you a kid.
I completely agree about Dagur. His face plus the way he acts around Hiccup, ESPECIALLY in The Night and The Fury.... total rapey ( ... )

Sidenote: Itchy Armpit is still more imaginative than Eel Island. Toothless should name more places.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Dagur is under the impression that Hiccup is going to kill Stoick to take over the Viking tribe. Again, the Night and the Fury episode.
He only gets rapier as the seasons go on, though, damn. Going from "little girly hands" to "pucker up [... to] kiss my boots", and then that cut off sentance that ended with the word "ramming" WHERE WERE YOU GOING WITH THAT DAGUR.
It's a little disconcerting, because he starts off as a sort of ~comedy villain~ and then turns out to be the big bad of the seasons, while Alvin and Mildew get redeemed. Unexpected.
