Okay so I’m actually insane about lycanwing Hiccup. I imagine he gets distracted by shiny objects and then gets embarrassed when people point it out

Here’s some PREGSTRID for everyone who requested it!! I had so many of you ask for some actual pregstrid “scenes” and I’m still technically working on those, but in the meantime here’s some little sketches. (And don’t think I’ve forgotten the concept in the fourth panel where they’re older 😈 that 3rd kid is still on my radar) (can’t let toothless’s family outnumber the haddocks)

And Bonus: (for those of you who also wanted some more RTTE early Zephyr au)…

More of that coming soon too!!

Hi i'm absolutely in love with the reverse au!!

I want to know, in this verse does edwin still confesses to charles? if so how is it different? i feel if he did he would end it by apologizing, you know, religious guilt and all

There’s a train that goes through Hell.

Its journey starts in Wrath, and it departs already full of souls. It took Charles far too many years to realize that there were separate, more spacious wagons that demons could board. Not that he could understand why anyone, hellborn or not, would want to get into the damned thing. He certainly hadn’t.

Actually, Charles couldn’t recall ever boarding the train. As far as he could tell, he just appeared there one day, and had spent the next tortuous decades trying to get out. It was part of the torture. Getting out was entirely possible. More than that, it was necessary.

The train had no regular schedule that he could discern (not at first, though he had always been good at finding patterns, and was eventually able to crack it) but it would make quite a few stops before finally returning to the Wrath ring. Souls inside the train were already angry and far too close to each other (close, so close not even air could squeeze in) but when they got really violent was when the train made a stop.

Getting out didn’t mean you were free, no matter where you managed it, be it Sloth or Gluttony, Pride or Lust. No, as soon as the train finished its journey, you would appear back inside, in Wrath where you belonged, suffocating once again, getting ready to claw your way out for the millionth time.

Because if you didn’t get out, The Conductor would get you.

If he thought about it calmly, Charles could probably say that he got out of the train more times than not. Still, being caught by The Conductor once was bad enough, as there was no coal in Hell, and something had to serve as combustible. Souls could not burn to death, and the whole journey always felt longer than eternity when he was caught. Once it was over, he would be inside again, and fight with more desperation than before, not caring who stayed inside so long as it wasn’t him.

He couldn’t understand why anyone, hellborn or not, would want to get into the damned thing. He certainly hadn’t. But as the souls pushed and bit and clawed and punched their way out, Edwin boarded the train. And that wasn’t even the most groundbreaking revelation Charles had that day.

maybe germans are considered so punctual because we have to calculate Deutsche Bahn into our time plans

[image description: a reference image for an original character named sara bomba. sara is a curvaceous, pale-skinned humanoid woman with short black flapper-style hair with a cartoon bomb-esque fuse coming out the back. she is drawn in a 1920s rubberhose animation style, and is wearing a red, white, and black short strapless dress, white gloves, white stockings, and black pumps and is holding a cigar. next to her are blurbs stating that she is 42, that her pronouns are she/any, that she is a bi aceflux woman, and the following: "infamous criminal who uses an innocent, ditzy facade to get her way. hates being looked down upon. would do anything for her bestie/lackey/son figure, geo. cold and calculated on the outside, but reckless and spirited on the inside. just wants to not feel so powerless for once." end id]
