Chapter 36: The Camping Chapter


Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

  • Bears Are Bad News: Subverted. Spectacled Bears are a type of grizzly bear that dwells in the wilds around the Encanto and are apparently docile around humans.
    Of course. Even the bears they had here were nice.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Just as a jaguar is about to pounce on Hiccup, Toothless jumps in, pins it to the ground, and shrieks in its face. It runs away like a scared kitten.
  • Camping Episode: Lampshaded by its very title. The chapter is about the "future Madrigals" (Hiccup, Valentina and Mariano) going on a camping trip to bond.
  • Can't Hold His Liquor: Valentina only has one sip of Encanto wine before she winds up completely shit-faced, leaving an exasperated Hiccup and Mariano to watch her antics.
  • Got Volunteered: When Hiccup declines Valentina's camping trip invitation, she says that she'll make him like it and ignores his reluctance.
  • Horrible Camping Trip: While it starts off fairly well, their camping trip gets interrupted by a curious bear that a drunk Valentina decides to pick a fight with. This accidentally leads them on the path of a hostile jaguar, leaving Dolores (who heard the whole thing), Mirabel and Bruno to fly in on Toothless to rescue them.
  • Man on Fire: When he starts a campfire, the fire catches onto Hiccup's pant-leg.
    Hiccup: Yes! I did it! I have mastered the flame!
    Valentina: Hey, Flame Master? Your pant leg is on fire.
  • Nerds Are Sexy: Mariano has become more "verbose" because Dolores likes it when he uses big words.
  • Shout-Out: The campfire scene is similar to the one from Ice Age.
