I would like remind everyone once again about this scene: Toothless was accepting his death here. After Stoick pulled Hiccup out of the water, Toothless thought it was the end considering his last 'interaction' with the chief was negative, so he expected to be left to die.

Underwater scenes edited for body language and movement clarity

The way he starts to lay down, accepting it

naah bro, opening a shackle that can hold down a freaking DRAGON barehand? that's insane

I LOVE HOW STRONG STOICK IS

I GENUINELY forget how gorgeous Tootless’ model is, especially how expressive it can be— The fact this is the same model is insane to me. I usually know the other 2 movies for being Toothless at his most goobiest, he CAN be intimidating— but the first HTTYD cements him -

This had me in tears 😭😭😭

Even after what Stoick did to him, after he frees Toothless he IMMEDIATELY grabs Stoick and brings him back to the surface with him, no hesitation He immediately repaid Stoick's penance by saving him from possibly drowning

“Why did you post this” 1. Because I wanted to 2. Some people didn’t know 3. I am autistic and hyper focus on tiny details, HTTYD is my special interest 4. I post…HTTYD content..? 5. “Corn plate” ?????? (Refer to point 2)

If you don’t like it you can easily block me

the way he was so shocked and didnt have any ill will towards stoick when he noticed him but immediately went on guard cause he wasnt sure if he was still considered a threat to him or not
