I Feel Like The Lightfury In The Movie Had A Bit Too Much But Ill Just Say She Fell Over And Couldnt Get It All Off - Tumblr Posts

Random httyd thw Au idea

Sometimes the crystals in thw break and eventually over time turn into glittery colorful sand

Some dragons (including lightfuries) take that sand and just kinda put it on them to look cool

I imagine It helps give other dragons an idea of what they find pretty

Example: let’s say we have the main lightfury from the movie, she has pink, if she hadn’t ended up with Toothless I imagine she’d end up with a lightfury that also had pinkish glitter sand

I imagine males would have a lot more but females would have just enough for it to be noticeable from practically any angle

I think it’d help them on choosing a mate since they would have an easier time choosing a home, I’ve seen videos of birds trying to agree on a nest but sometimes disagreeing, sometimes the female just starts nest scraping when the male still doesn’t like the one she’s chosen and looks for others and tries to call her over like “look at this! This is way better than the other one”

I think them both being able to see they have similar taste at first glance would make choosing a nest take less time

Idk just a little idea I had (it doesn’t make much sense lol, like how do they get it to stick, how does it stay after they light themselves on fire, how did they reach their backs in a way that they could make it stripe-y, but I still find the concept fun)
