When I was young, I decided to read the first book. Then the second. And went on and on. I LOVED them! (Still do!) So, I heard the movie was coming out and got really exited. I liked it, but went on with my life. The newer books came out, and I grew to love the movie. I was a HTTYD fan. A lonely one, though. The first time I went on the Grapevine was when I saw the link on google, and I went on it, but quickly left. About a year later, I kept finding myself going on this site. One day I explored it, and found out there was nothing bad on it! For a month or so I had no account for commenting. I gave in and made one. I made lots of friends! I wasn't alone! There you are! |
What should I write on my signature? Hmm... I am a Httyd, Gravity Falls and Portal (One and two) fan. I'm also a bookworm and an introvert. That was pretty random, but that's me summed up in two sentences. | |

Though I loved the movie since its premiere in 2010, I didn't become so active in the fandom 'til December of last year. We were driving back to FL from New York City (probs a 19 hour drive) and so I started to watch the first movie again since I had it saved onto my tablet. I think it was then I realized the utter beauty of the movie did I then start blogging little bits of it on Tumblr. Slowly, my blog turned into a dragons blog, and by the time the first trailer (not the teaser, mind you) for HTTYD 2 was released, I knew that this was going to be my new ultimate obsession. Now here we are.☺ |

My friends/roommates kept telling me that I should watch the movie and I kept kinda saying "Sure, I'll do it later." The first time I watched it, I still was kinda not into it and found ways to leave the room for extended periods of time. It was the second time that I finally caved and watched with them. Then, I found myself reading and writing fanfictions for the fandom. A little later still, I found Berk's Grapevine and lurked here for awhile to see the news of the sequel. I made an account (finally!) to discuss all the new trailers and interviews and...here we are! So, long story short, my friends indirectly introduced me to this fandom. |
Coming Soon!! | |

oh gods this is going to be long.... So back in 2010 I saw the trailer for httyd and i thought i should rent the movie and watch it, mainly because there was a character with my name and i found that cool (cause let's be honest how many movies have characters with your name), and mainly because toothless was just an irressitible dragon. So I rented it and watched it and I liked it and that was it, I liked it but i didn't become a fan. It wasn't until the end of 2012/beggining of 2013 that I kind of rediscovered the film. I was bored and looking for a movie to watch when idk how i just thought about this movie and I watched it again except this time I was like "how didn't i notice all of that before" aka soundtrack, character development, the kind of relationships between the characters and a lot of other things that in a very awkward way reminded me of my journey as a person and other things that happened in my life (and in a funny way it also reminded me of my work). So needless to say I was hooked and then I looked for a tumblr dedicated to dragons, i followed it and i got news about the new movie and well it was too late to turn back but I'm enjoying the ride |

Read the books in 2004. Then I saw the movie and I fell into the fando-ness way back in July when the first teaser trailer came out for HTTYD2 (that's also when I became part of the Tumblr fandom on HTTYD). |

What do I put here again?
|
I saw the movie and I thought it was okay. But my girlfriend started watching Dragons of Berk obsessively and I figured I should go see why she loved the fandom so much and here I am now. |
