Guess whos getting emotional about hands again

Can someone ask Hiccup Haddock his skincare routine? He MUST have one for his leg at least, right?

Wait, imagine the Riders helping him with it on tough days.

But imagine Hiccup connecting to his scars more as he takes care of them each day, and maybe learning to like them.

weirdest casualty of long Covid (besides. yk. the Incurable Disability) is in terms of linguistic processing I can truly no longer talk or sing as fast as I used to

not that I was super fast before, but one of the days I was sickest, words actually stopped... meaning anything? like I was at work, I was hitting my DT script, but was pushing through on pure muscle memory phonetically. I could process what I was hearing or reading just fine, but could not talk outside of this heavily repetitive workplace script, which is actually very dystopian now that I think about it. virus hitting the brain means I'm a zombie that can't speak except to say, "HIII :) whatcanIgetstartedferyouthismorning?"

anyway, thought it was just fatigue, but went to my car on my break, watched a trending video of people trying to rap along to Fergalicious at double speed. I could LIP SYNC to it just fine. I tested my theory. but I could NOT get my mouth and voice to work at the same time to actually sing/rap it. even now, tbh, I have to make myself NOT think about it while rapping it to get the words to flow out or I get stuck. like it's truly something in the brain for where you process speech, but not where you process just lyrical phonics like music. I have to consciously make a REAL effort to turn off the "word" part of my brain to be fast again.

I speak perfectly legibly, I can genuinely get up to decently fast normal talking speeds, just not Northeastern fast-fast. but it comes up in music a surprising amount, and it's kind of annoying to have lost as a skill.

Teaching recall…through hypnosis. Balanced trainers really will do anything other than offer treats as a payment huh.

Ruffthrok Headcanon #12: After that one time in "Snuffnut," it becomes a common ritual for Ruffnut and Throk, along with Tuffnut, to give each other foot massages after a hard training or sparring session.

Wait I'm sorry you were there, in-person, for the iconic Drou-Fourns kiss??? What was the crowd reaction, I MUST KNOW. To be present at such a moment in history...

Hello YES, I was there in-person for the iconic Fourns kissing Jo incident of 2013.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think many people in the crowd realized at the time. I don't even think I realized until I saw photos online the next day.

That kiss happened (if memory serves correctly) in game 5 of the QMJHL finals of that year, and it was the game that the Moose won the President's Cup. I was 14 & had gone to *almost* every home game of that playoff run with my dad.

That night is truly mostly a blur as I was so hyped up on adrenaline & anxiety that I could barely function. Most of my clear memories from that night are from AFTER they won.

Anyways, this long-winded response is to say that I don't think many people noticed the kiss in the arena. It's hard to see much of anything in a big celly huddle (and the fact that we have photographic proof at all feels like a miracle). I'm pretty sure I didn't realize they kissed until the next day when I saw a photo online.

I did find this article just now that has some very funny quotes from the guys after the fact.

I had a really good PT session today. I’m kinda dumb so takes me a while to figure out what they’re asking (and then remember to actually do it) but I feel like what I learned to do today will help a lot.

excellent news, by the grace of God our roomie knows something of the art of massage therapy, and after he recovered from his initial horror ("oh my God [Mayra] that is a HUGE fucking bump!" ~vindication~ ;w;) was able to knead most of the bullshit out with a combination of Gay Benjamin, argan oil, and persistence. Between that and the two ibuprofens I took like 1.5 hours ago, I smell very manly and feel nothing but blessed relief for the first time in almost a week. prayers up for good sleep too, I am very eepy ;w;
