#astrid winters

[bo0sims]

Meet the first matriarch of my new generations gameplay! This is Astrid Winters. She is 20 years old, has a small daughter named Autumn, and has sole custody of her twin brother & sister, Aden & Astrea.

When Astrid was just 16 years old, both of her parents were in a horrific and fatal accident that left both her and her siblings orphans. Until she turned 18, her and her siblings were separated.

Every night, Astrid planned & prepared to take her siblings the second she legally became an adult. she worked very hard, saved every penny of her money, and eventually had enough to move into a cozy two bedroom apartment. She signed the twins up for school, had a safe & warm place to live, and was granted custody effortlessly.

Unfortunately this whole process and trauma has taken a major toll on her overall well being, which led her to get mixed up in the wrong crowd as she approached young adulthood.

Throughout her 19th year of life, she lived a little recklessly, mostly became very promiscuous, and became pregnant. This was not the best news she could receive, but she has always found her pregnancy to be a blessing.

Now that she is a mother to sweet little Autumn, and the legal guardian of her siblings, she has been focusing her attention on healing and being the best role model she can be.

The sight of them coming in drew immediate attention. Not just from her, but some of the others inside the bar. Dark eyes squinted slightly as a smirk formed. "Damn. Tell me you're meeting a date coming in here looking like that. Otherwise I might have to scoop you up for myself."

open.

-XOXOX-

Well into the night, Hiccup still lies awake in bed. He’s on his back underneath layers of blankets and furs and he spends these hours staring up at the ceiling. There’s very little else he can do, very little else he has the energy to do. Their bedroom is freezing despite the fire they kept burning in the firepit to keep their house warm. He’s sweating plenty underneath the many layers and yet he’s apparently not warm enough. Why else would old injuries be acting up?

His stump and the burns he suffered all from a battle many years ago haunt him every single winter and with devastating winter around the corner, his nights are only going to get worse. Then there is the fact that this season is a little more different than most as this year he’s pregnant with his and his wife’s first.

He’s a well over halfway, though the layers on him makes him seem even bigger than he actually is. Astrid is asleep, Toothless and the Light Fury are asleep. He lets his hand glide over his bump on top of the furs, even the baby is asleep. They’ve started moving and then kicking, but he has learned by now that the lack of movement doesn’t mean that something is wrong. It simply means that they’re asleep.

It’ll still be winter when they come, his stump and burn scars will still be plaguing him when the day comes that he’ll have to push a new human being into the world and it’s not for the first time that he realizes just how reckless this pregnancy is.

He doesn’t blame Astrid for his situation, his sleepless nights. He was just as thoughtless when he let her between his legs and eagerly accepted everything she had to offer him. They’re married, they want to love each other completely. Besides, he’s the one with the broken body, he should’ve thought of the implications. Those are certainly the thoughts going through his head. Nowadays, he can’t get around without the use of a cane, a tool usually reserved for his worser days.

With the amount of scarring on his lower body, he even needed Gothi to take a look at him to make sure whether he could even give birth to begin with. Right now, however, his biggest concerns are his sleepless nights.

Hiccup rolls onto his right side with some difficulty and tries to find a position that’s comfortable. Curled up or one leg out, arms underneath his pillow to thicken it up or not. He tries on his left side when the other one doesn’t work out and does his best to keep his grunts of pain to himself. He simply can’t find comfort and the twinges in his scarred muscles and joints don’t help matters much.

It’s maddening, enough to drive him up the walls. It’s frustrating.

Despite his best efforts, Astrid turns around to face him. In the darkness, their eyes meet.

“Hey,” she starts quietly. “Can’t sleep?”

Hiccup shakes his head. At least he can still move something without pain. Until morning comes and a migraine will have inevitably taken up residence inside his brain.

“I’m so tired,” he admits and he wishes that it was enough. That being tired and closing his eyes was all that it took for him to fall asleep, but it isn’t.

Astrid reaches over and cups his cheek. “Just close your eyes, try to get as much rest as you can even if you can’t fall asleep. And when morning comes, I’ll be taking over as chief. You curl up to Toothless, okay?”

Hiccup is tired enough and in enough pain that he agrees. Not that Berk expects him out much in his condition. He nods and Astrid scoots closer. She wraps her arms around him to hold him to her and he wraps one around her. Her chin touches his crown and his forehead her chest, he closes his eyes. She goes back to sleep and he does his best to.

In my humble opinion, Astrid's design in THW is a downgrade.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY TO SOME OF MY FAVOURITE FICTIONAL WOMEN!!!

[headfullof-ideas]

In line with the post I made of all the funny stuff to look forward to in the story, here’s some of the…less funny stuff that will happen over the course of the story. Because I love angst, and I didn’t hold back on trying to think of how some things might go realistically

- The riders dealing with all their enemies with no Berk to fall back to, Berk itself sometimes being one of those enemies

- The guilt, pain and trauma for all the riders that comes with Ant losing his leg

- Dragon training sessions on Berk going horribly wrong

- Kaiko and Will watching their thought-to-be-dead son go through everything he does, unable to change any of it (as this story is written in a ‘the characters watch their own show’ style)

- Ant having episodes where he can’t talk due to being selectively mute, because of his treatment of Berk, and the other riders and even Toothless having to learn how to help him through it

- The riders being captured and interrogated/tortured by Dragon Trappers

- The Dragon Fighting ring in RTTE being a more widespread operation

- Diving further into how the Red Death affected the dragons in her nest, and making the scene where Hiccup and Astrid (Ant and Kari here) find the nest worse

- Dragons and humans having panic/anxiety attacks

- The riders having to learn how to fight enemies outside of the ring on the fly (sometimes literally, because dragons) and not being the best at it in the beginning

- Ant being the village scapegoat due to not being white, and having no blood family on Berk to back him up, and all the internal issues that come to be because of that

- Gobber and Gothi, while being the primary caretakers of Ant who cared for him, not being perfect anyways, and still messing up in some ways

- Situations, characters, and character dynamics being complicated and messy

- No one region or faction of the world being ‘perfect’ or ‘good’ or even ‘bad’. Everyone has problems, and everyone handles them differently

- Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs trying to be ‘adults’ for Kari and Ant, because there’s no one else to help them in the beginning, but still struggling in some ways because they themselves are still kids who want an adult to help

- Characters having complicated family dynamics, with some parents not being perfect, and with some of the riders still missing their own parents and families, while also knowing that those very people are part of what drove them away to begin with

- Some characters, while coming to an understanding and acknowledging that the other has changed, not reconciling and becoming best friends, or even friends by the end of the story

- Not every enemy is redeemed. At least one character that isn’t an enemy in the films is, and they are not redeemed at the end
