Who: @astridhansleyy Where: Jake and Sloane's house

Today she was seeing Astrid so there was no need to be super careful about what she was wearing. Well, obviously she’d change before they left to look at the building the blonde wanted to buy but until then she was perfectly content in one of Jake’s oversized t-shirts and a pair of booty shorts that miraculously still fit her. Humming to herself the redhead spread butter on a cracker before looking at it for a couple of moments and chucking it in the sink, unable to overcome the voice in her head telling her eating it wasn’t okay however much she wanted to. Most of the time she could drown out that little voice but maybe being here on her own meant there was nothing to distract from it, that is until she heard a knock on the door. “The back door is open, I’m in the kitchen.” She shouted at the top of her voice, the large glass floor to ceiling doors that lead out to the pool and then onto the beach wide open to let the fresh air in. 

Yanking open the fridge the woman instead pulled out some lemon ice tea left over from the day before - it wasn’t Diet Coke but at least it was more interesting than just normal flat water. “Did you want a drink?” She called out to Astrid, assuming by now she’d made her way around to the back door so could hear her normal voice. A bold assumption considering the size of the house.

Snotlout: The world would be a better place if people saw it how I see it.

Hiccup: Close to the ground?

Snotlout: …Well, at least I don’t live with my head in the clouds!

Astrid: Yeah cause it’s shoved up your ass.

"never told you how much you mean to me, y'know." xander huffed as he crashed on astrid's bed next to her. "i know i tell you mean a lot to me, and all but.." his voice trailed off as he bit down on his lower lip softly. "i really don't think i could get through life without you."

Annoyingly, Loki's words have lingered through Egil's subconscious. Floating through his thoughts knowingly and unknowingly, tussling back and forth like goading whispers. He likes to think that he's immune to his brother's trickery, learning swiftly as they grew older to simply ignore Loki so he could keep his sanity. But while Egil lazes in the schoolhouse, he wonders if there is truth to the grand statement. Has Astrid been watching him? He doesn't seem to think so. He's still caught in the subtle trick that Loki makes look so easy to deliver. Does he trust the statement and make himself look like a fool? Or ignore it and look like one? Fuck you, Loki. His annoyance for the situation almost makes Egil utter the words out loud, but instead he coughs slightly as a crumb catches to his throat. Just as...Astrid enters the schoolhouse. Oh, fuck you Gods, too. No, he doesn't mean that. But please show him some pity at least. Or help!? Egil's fist flings to his mouth to stifle the coughing, eyes squinting at Astrid. "I'm fine." he states in a sternness to conceal embarrassment, despite her not asking. And then... "Are you watching me?" Egil has no idea why the directness comes or why he his tone has to carry with such a cold scrutiny but it's done now, unable to be erased. "Because people have noticed. But I haven't." Oh fuck off, Egil.

Julia certainly wasn’t expecting that level of surprise from the other, was it really that strange to not have ever owned a pet before? Surely that was a pretty common thing...right? Glancing around them thanks to the volume of the question although it seemed like everyone else int here was in some kind of waiting daze, she shrugged her shoulders. “No…never….” An incentive to finish her homework? That sounded like a nicer way of doing it than just cutting their child off from anything that might distract them from studying but not every parents did it the same obviously. “Oh yeah, they were…schoolwork came first always. Both of them are doctors so that was kind of always a forgone conclusion as a career path for me also.”  @astridlius

Astrid leaned forward a bit, rubbing her hands together in anticipation as she waited for the tidbit that was going to save her from boredom. The other woman could've said anything, and Astrid would've found a way to latch onto it and create a conversation out of it. "What?" she asked incredulously, probably a little too loudly for the otherwise silent waiting room. "Never? Okay, there's a lot to unpack here." She and Mav owned a myriad of pets throughout their childhoods together, including a squirrel who came to their lawn and could never catch (oh, did they try). "First, though, a distraction? My parents used to use pet time as, like, an incentive for me to finish my homework. "Were your parents super strict or something?"

I didn't play the Tellius games what's the tea on Astrid? Is it her thing with Markov or whatever his name was or something unrelated?

She's a substantially worse unit in Radiant Dawn, and for whatever reason they decided that she should get the hots for the worst fucking character in-between games.

Madison hadn't expected that she'd actually attend her classes during her birthday week — but she was behind on a project and didn't want to risk expulsion. It threw a spanner in the whole works, but she'd have to deal with it in the best way she could.

Walking through the halls however, she was halted by the sight of Astrid. The woman that she thought was so cool and amazing... the woman who's ex-boyfriend she'd slept with. She wasn't sure if Cristian had informed her of their roadside rendezvous, or if they were even back together. All she knew was that butterflies had started to swarm in the younger female's stomach — and not in a good way.

This wasn't a good start to her birthday.

"Hey Astrid..." She approached her, with slight hesitation in her steps. Her lips were forced into appearing as a smile. "How, uh, how was your class?"

Funnily enough, Kate was always underwhelmed when it came to Halloween. She expected to be scared shitless, but found herself wanting more than the volunteered actors could give her in the haunted house. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long to feel the dark clutches of fear — and she didn't even need to step foot inside the attraction.

"Astrid?" Her nerves were prevalent in her tone, still unsure whether or not for certain that the woman in front of her was her cousin. It'd have been a blessing to have more than just the mock dynasty at home, but there was still the confusion on why Astrid had never been mentioned. "Hi..."

[fairywilds]

Aleazara nodded at Astrid's suggestion of visiting the gallery. "That definitely sounds like a plan," She replied with a grin as they continued their stroll through the park. She appreciated Astrid's willingness to hear about her day. "I'd absolutely love to show you around," she said warmly. As they walked through the streets of Northknot, Astrid hesitated to argue about paying for the food, but Aleazara insisted. "No worries," Aleazara said reassuringly. "I've got you covered this time." She could empathize with the financial situation of a newly blossoming artist and wanted to ease her burden. "But next time I'll let you get me a treat, okay?" She teased.

"Right," she agreed. As her sister linked arms with her, she started to pull away but she accepted it. When Aleazara talked about her day, she smiled, nodding along. "I'm glad today was good," she said. She hadn't been to the gallery and thought she ought to visit one day. "I'm going to have to come by one day and you'll have to give me a tour," she said to her sister. As they walked through the park, onto the streets of Northknot, Astrid looked over at her sister. "But I-," she paused when her sister said no fighting on her paying for the food. "Fine," she said, giving in. She was a college student with no job after all. She needed the money she earned to get around.

"Sorry that it's a bit of a mess in here, I'm still settling in," Emira said with a chuckle as she poured both her and Astrid a glass of wine, happy to be having some girl time and catching up. Ever since the two met, they hit it off and became fast friends. "I'm excited that we're doing this. How have things been for you recently?" She asked, handing the glass over to her before taking a sip of her own. Walking over to her large couch, she sat down and faced her body more towards her.

Text :: Sloane and Astrid 💕

Sloane: Hey, haven't heard from you since your marathon party session Sloane: Did you live to tell the tale?

[torixhcstings]

“You better not be about to complain about me stepping on your foot again, because I’ve been no where near you up until now so if you did, you’d be bullshitting.” Tori told the other, not wanting to deal with the others shrill voice yelling at her again for something that was a complete accident.

🍾 - our muses share a glass/bottle of champagne

“Exactly the woman I was looking for,” Auggie replied with a grin as she handed Astrid a bottle of champagne for herself before drinking from her own, “Don’t ask about how I got these, took a lot of flirting. No need to thank me,” she joked.

I had a dream last night where Hiccup, for whatever reason, bleached his hair but he didn’t do it very evenly and so he got a cloak with a hood and rushed to Astrid’s house just as the sun was rising. He snuck in and woke her up and it was like

‘Hiccup what are you doing?’

‘I need your help.’

‘What do you mean? You okay?’

‘You can’t tell anyone.’

‘Okay.’

And then he pulls back the hood and shows off his now bleached blond but patchy hair. Bits of his normal hair are just littered throughout it and he didn’t take the little braids out so they are patchy too.

And the solution that Astrid came up with was cutting off her hair and they made Hiccup a wig (because time doesn’t matter in dreams) and then later the gang was flying back to the edge and everyone just kept glancing at blond wig Hiccup and short hair Astrid but she would glare at anyone who started to say anything.

finch & astrid

closed: @ofcruelties location: the stables

To say that Finch was a clumsy person would be an understatement. Growing up, it had been such a prominent part of her being that people had formed a nickname off of it. The name was something she’d left behind after the outbreak, but the reasons for getting it are still stuck with her now. Finch had just been finishing up with the horses when she’d realized that a bucket of feed had been left behind. After putting the last horse away she went back for it. She realized just as it was too late that she’d stepped on the pointed end of a shovel. The thing whipped up at her face with a comical WHAP, smacking her right on the eye. Instinctively she reached out for the post, immediately cutting open the palm of her hand on a nail.

After taking a few minutes to get herself back together, she decided it was best to head back to the stables. Eye throbbing and hand bleeding, she took her time getting back. The slow journey back was mostly in hopes of avoiding any one else possibly still working. Finch sat down and let out a deep sigh, trying to think up a better story for how she sustained her inuries.

“but…” lower lip tugging between her teeth, astrid pondered for a brief, anxiety-filled moment just how plausible her boyfriend showing up at jessie’s place actually was. she shook it off though, confidence fully fuelled by jessie’s words of dismissal as she refocused on finding her shirt. it wasn’t until the other grabbed onto her wrist that the feel of their touch warm against her pulled astrid from her spiral. “i guess one night couldn’t hurt.” she had promised them after all, and the way her chest begged for the other, there was no fighting against it. small smile gracing her lips, she leaned her forehead onto jessie’s shoulder. “i’m sorry i worry so much.”

she wasn't saying no, which jess took as a hopeful sign, but still their pout remained. "to my apartment??? fat fucking chance." he could, of course, but that would mean having to confront her directly, and that had never quite been his style. "we're not gonna get in a fight." how could they when they were always fighting? their fingers flew out to catch astrid's wrist keeping her from putting anymore space between them. "it's one night." perhaps a little more, in the grand scheme of things, but this was the game she'd trapped herself in: forced to forever downplay the magnitude of their feelings or admit them which was.... not an option. "please?"
