Wait I saw an actor au ask of Ryker being the nicest cast member and I want to share my idea.

Everyone that plays villains are the nicest people. Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Dagur being in real life best friend.

Astrid and Heather became best friends when they first met in the earlier series. They probably directed episodes together or separately.

Viggo and Hiccup having the most screen time together because they worked together before. So Viggo being an actor veteran is teaching Hiccup stuff on scene. So easy actor tension.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut being insanely serious actors in real life and they have projects already under their belt before hand.

Alvin and Stoick being the “Dad” of the cast.

I have this AU about Viggo/ Vigcup relating to Freudian ; Oedipus complex. It’s pretty dark and an uncomfortable topic. So feel free to discard this anonymous ask if needed.

Basically in my au, it’s kind of obvious on Hiccup’s part why he likes Viggo. He takes his father as an example; hence having Viggo as a partner.

Viggo; since we don’t know his parents canonically in show and only mentions grandfather. His parents died early, so he can only retain and remember some memories of his parents. I like to imagine that what he saw in Hiccup reminded him of his parents or one of them.

What Hiccup does translates differently to Viggo.

Of course Viggo would remember his parent(s) being kind, strict, ruthless, and feared. In some way, he saw that in Hiccup. In which in some scenes from the series that I used to headcanon, Viggo would smirk or find some amusement when Hiccup is strict around him. Like he’s enjoying it.

In reality his parent(s), which you can view it as tragic, they are hunters, yes, but they could’ve been very poor at being chiefs and terrible in dragon hunting business. It is only then when they are gone, his grandfather took over and brought the business back up and groomed Viggo into following his footsteps.

There is a bit of irony in it that I completely forgot or didn’t invest in it much to make a concrete fanfic. But yeah that is basically my AU which I wanted to share with you because I have no one to share with.

My first initial au plan was like: Viggo still longing for his parent(s) - finds the same qualities in Hiccup - finds out his parent(s) aren’t all that great in their job which was the reason why their dragon hunting business wasn’t getting off the ground before - that projection on Hiccup begins to shatter

Who addresses Viggo in shell shoked in the cell when the attack begins and he shouts „fools“ Ryker and his men or Hiccup and the Dragon Riders?
