Oh its finally here HTTYD2014, you don't know how long I've been eagerly anticipating this day for you!(6 months ago, really!?) Did I not say the other day we would drop a bomb on you one of THESE days, hehe? Though I did not expect it to be EXACTLY ready for your anniversary! How I long to be a fly on the wall when you open your inbox and see...all this (Hiccup pun!) Ah, and to emphasis it, Glory made this horrific teaser poster to add to the whole effect!

Footage: How To Train Your Dragon, Gift of the Night Fury, Riders of Berk [ep. 1, 3, 4, and 5]
Song: (like you don't already know) "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (My own trimmed version, hehe)

I knew you'd want to know the story of how this came to be, so I'll save the sentimental stuff later ;) Yep, 6 months why so long and all the secrecy you ask? Well here's the story: Back in August [the 21st to be precise] Glory sent me a PM about making this collab to show how much you DO mean to us. Credit goes to Glory and iVishu for starting, planning, putting together this whole project. It was soo much fun sharing ideas over in our private chat room. With the Forbidden Friendship theme, quotes, other details, and random stuff we discussed.(We agreed to share that with you too; I think Glory said she'd send the link to that...or I will). iVishu finished his part first Aug 24th I think. Getting ready for his hiatus), then Glory, HT94 (Sep 15th) and I was the last one to complete my part...then Sep 23rd (naturally being the youngest of the Circle here). "My Heart Will Go On" was the obvious song for me to use in this gift...every time I hear it, I think of you ;) With Glory and HT94's busy school schedule, iVishu away very busy in his life/work, and me going through a move, making plans for uploading this got pushed aside for awhile. None of us were alive on YT during October. We did set some possible dates in November, December, but January (the past 3-4 weeks we got the ball rolling again.) Now that Wolf has become a much closer friend to all of us in the Circle, we really felt she needed to be IN the collab. (Considering she was recognized as officially a member of the Circle Sep 20th, 2012). We canceled once again uploading on Jan 21. Glory also totally re-made her part. (As did iVishu sometime back though I cant remember, sorry) Wolf completed hers Jan 25. I converted everyone's parts to MP4 to be compatible with Glory and she arranged the vid n hade it ready right in time for your Anniversary! Glory gave times in everyone's time zone: Glory-3:00 AM, HT94-1:00 PM, iVishu-7:00 PM, and Wolf and I-6:00 AM. (Yep, we set are alarms and got up at the crack of dawn for you!)

Still alive? I packed defibrillators just in case ;) You will have to pause it several times to read all the text since it move so quickly in spots ;) It was tricky editing my part the way I was imagining. My goal was to somehow express my deep respect and appreciation for ALL you've done, and who you are, yet match that to the VOs, text, and naturally the beats/lyrics of the song. To make sure you understand my editing in the beginning here, I'll write it out for you. Many clips, VOs have hidden little *special* meanings throughout it from our past ;)
I was making it like I was telling our story: When we first met, you came to me, sent me your 1st PM for issues with Copyright and advice.(7:40-7:41). "Pain, love it!" emphasizing your frustrations with YT through the PMs. The Astrid VO were like my thoughts or replies: 'Yeah, I do know; hard believe your still standing" Night Fury thinking, YT really is making it difficult for him on his 1ST vid; how can I help this guy? (7:45-7:50). I honestly didn't expect you to get around the copyright after it failed on your 2nd attempt uploading it and then not hearing anything new about it for some time. So when you FINALLY uploaded "My Heart Will Go On" Feb 21st I was so SURPRISED and had such admiration for your "stick to" determination."We're Vikings, we have stubbornness issues". Like I always said, any stubbornness I got, I learned from you right here! "This time, this time for sure!" (7:51-7:58). I think you can figure out the rest! The ending VO with Astrid were kinda like my words to you through Toothless...well as it was in the beginning too (; Oh, and at 8:05 where I wrote "So now I want to show you..." Sorry my signature is sitting there; I didn't plan ahead on that one...my bad.

Unless you ask, I'm not going to dive into all the little challenges that this song and WLMM threw on me.(Besides I probably cant remember it all by now) I wanted to be very careful not to jeopardize the whole collab with this song since after all....copyrights of it was how we met ;) Summing it up though, its been trimmed, pitched, and amplified. There is no way on Berk YT should be able to recognize it! Muh-haha!
