Sooo... one shot because I've hit something of a block with Plain Jane. Anyway, I saw How to Train Your Dragon 2 and liked it a lot, very epic and I loved the more Mongolian feel with the villian, even if he was rather underplayed. Anywhoo, there is a scene at the end of the movie where in the background Ruffnut and Tuffnut bash heads together, and I saw that and thought, "Hey, there's a story to that! TO MY KEYBOARD!"
Sploilers! Sploiler alert!
Why Ruffnut and Tuffnut smash their heads together after a glorious victory:
It didn't officially begin until later, but their mother swears by Odin's eye that when Tuffnut first began to walk, he fell and bumped foreheads with Ruffnut. It then took forty-five minutes to calm them both down.
They both insist that it truly began when they were five, after seeing two goats bashing horns against each other, and realized that this was a true sign of dominance, coolness and overall betterness. That and it looked fun. This was around the time their parents made them their first helmets to avoid misshapen heads.
When seven-year-old Ruffnut hit then-six-year-old Hiccup, she knew that this was a moment when the power was all hers, because she had made the chief's son CRY. It took some wrangling, but she managed to pin down Tuffnut and knock heads. He fought at first, but eventually acquiesced to her rule. For five minutes, anyway.
Thus began the cycle of fight and headbonk, fight and headbonk, fight, recuperate and headbonk (or fight, headbonk and cry in pain) and by the time Drago fell and the second Bewilderbeest lost to Toothless, it had become a tradition to attack each other after attacking something else. After all, they weren't really the hugging type.
I'm not even sorry.
