into the woods (a short hijack comic!)
Hi ! I love your art and the "dragon care 101" au! I was just curious if you have a fic for that au? Or a fic that is similar? Ive been trying to find something resembling ur short comics and am losing my mind 😭
A fic is in the works! I'll post it on ao3 when it's ready and I'll make an announcement her when it's posted 😊
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West au for Jack and Hiccup!
For my version of this au, I imagined Hiccup as a former Sky Clan Tenakth who now lives with the Oseram in the Forbidden West, while Jack is a Nora outcast (I couldn't decide between white or brown hair for Jack, so you get both.).
Jack is the one who finds a Focus first and then shares that knowledge with Hiccup. I love thinking about what connects characters and why they’re drawn together, and in my mind, Hiccup already sees machines and the old world differently from everyone else, but he’s missing information to truly understand it.
He sees that Jack is actually using the Focus rather than treating it like an accessory, and Jack chooses to share it with him, offering that missing piece of the puzzle that Hiccup needs to truly understand the metal world. This turns out to be what Jack needed, because while Jack is smart, Hiccup is able to piece things together that jack wouldn’t have been able to do on his own, so they quickly end up relying on each other. I really wanted that trope of working together because: “you have something I want” until that becomes: “you are what I need.”
So, together, they explore the metal ruins and uncover the truth behind the Old World. Hiccup gets a machine companion (Toothless), and Jack gets a glider.
I’m also playing with the idea that all machines have ai like gaia did, so they’re actually capable of feeling and learning (it would probably depend on the species though, I don’t imagine a thunderjaw would be very fun to try and domesticate…), because I want Toothless and Hiccup to have the same connection as they do in the movies.
As for the designs, I mixed and matched elements from the artbook and the game itself. I have so many thoughts written down from designing them and from all the differences I noticed between the clans, but it’s literally pages long. If anyone wants me to ramble about that and share some of my thoughts, let me know!
Quick question, is the Dragonwalker au currently ⏃ fic we can find on Ao3 or are you working on it currently? Or none of the latter? Just asking bc ⟟ LOOOVVEEE Wolfwalkers and this au is just making my brain super duper happy and I’m curious c:
~☕️
Sorry to say, the fic is not currently in the works from me. They're still just haphazard art and scattered plot points in a note somewhere. But thank you and I'm glad you like it!
Jack's pod mainly consists of Light Furies and LF!dragonwalkers. Dragonwalkers usually stick with the same dragon species due to similar temperaments, feeding patterns and behaviour, but not always. Though not necessarily related, they treat each other as family. The leading group of the pod, more often than not are blood-related. Jack's pod is led by his mother, whose mother led before her. Her children would eventually succeed her in leading their pod when she passes, and she has taught them all that she knows.
They're a migratory group, often following the whales in the ocean, going from colder climates to feed, and to tropical waters to breed and reproduce. The younger dragon walkers may choose to go their own way and make their own flock when they mature or stay with the pod.
And as for turning others into dragonwalkers via biting, in this au biting a person wouldn't be enough. Transforming others usually involves a ritual to go with the bite. It's a well-kept secret among dragonwalkers, and each species has its own rituals.
that one youtube shorts about norwegians wearing fishnets under their clothing on hikes but make it modernAU Hiccup
