No problem! Thanks for the commission!!

It's one of many instances where movie probably had it easier off. LOL

You're welcome. I really needed this after reading books ten and eleven because Valhallarama rubs me in the wrong way.

The movies in hindsight have it easier off in general; Hiccup gets long-lasting respect and a cool dragons, Snotlout isn't a jealous traitor, Stoick is actually a smart chief, and movie Toothless exists.

Exactly. Book Hiccup's life kinda sucks. He has his two friends, SOMETIMES his  persnickety dragons, and everyone else is either disappointed, or wants to kill him most of the time.

I like it though. He's adapted to it pretty well.

And it just keeps getting worse, all because Hiccup got bad karma from framing the Hairy Scary Librarian for the stolen Stealth Dragon and because he needs to be a hero. It is amazing how he's adapted, but I imagine he believes in the Misery Builds Character trope. I believe he suffers PTSD as a chief.
