Angouleme for the character bingo

i am so normal about them - did you know that when the guards call her "skittish" in her debut in ttos ch. 5 and fringilla calls her "flighty" in lotl ch. 4, they're actually using the same word, płochy? of which could be translated as "fickle," "thoughtless," "skittish," or "insignificant, trivial" or "unsteady in (her) feelings", or "careless," "untamed," or "reckless" ... isn't that interesting! i just think that's interesting.

i have so many headcanons about them - my entire (planned but not written) fic with her and regis spins around my head... i'm torn on whether to post a plot summary of this on here (basically copying over what i've said in discord messages), or if i want to avoid spoiling any of this and just wait until i've finished it (and who knows when or if i will ever write this)

*projects onto them like a mf* - yes, though admittedly to her detriment, it's a habit i've tried to stop. i find that my excessive editorializing of her spoils her character :p stick to the facts, people! i admit it's difficult if only because we share some similar issues, but the thing that i have to keep in mind is that we have entirely opposite personalities, and even if we feel similarly, her feelings will express themselves differently.

wordless space 1, "i just think she's neat"

everyone else is wrong about them - people just forget about her character, and i'm not only speaking of them forgetting about her existence - that they also do often enough, but they also do not pay attention to her. that's probably my biggest pet peeve regarding her, is that people find her quirky and funny, but do not remember the context around her character... that she nearly escaped the scaffold, and from that nearly the stake, with eyes gouged out and breasts torn by iron-hot pincers? that she genuinely was begging to be hanged when she was introduced as a character, begging for death? or that she has hidden from pursuers in toussaint before? that she has "friends" such as golan drosdeck whom she owed debts to? that she is knowledgeable about the mining operations and the reddishness of the earth, and explains the subject to geralt and cahir? or that she is upset when civilians are afraid of them from killing bandits "because they were evil," so she indeed has a moral compass? that she screams like a banshee when trying to kill nightingale? or that she 'resembled a pretty girl' when given a comb and dress, and that she got tipsy during the october banquet and could be heard throughout the hall? her character actually has so much detail and diversity if you actually pay attention, but hardly anyone remembers her as anything asides from a silly little girl that joined geralt's hanza and provides some laughs for the reader. and then they ask why the female characters are one-dimensional. idk, possibly because it is these reader which made them one-dimensional in their very own minds because they are not strong readers and forget all the detail that's literally written right there on the page... oh, and by the way, it was not a hanza before she joined, because she is the very one which dubs it that in the first place. before angouleme joined, they were just the "company". that is my angouleme rant done 😌

that's a solid design right there - canonically, great: "The girl sniffed again, inclined her head and fixed Geralt with her huge eyes. Nut-brown, not green. Then she shook her untidy mane of light hair, causing it to fall onto her forehead in unruly locks," and personally (if i can compliment the own personal way i see her), i love to give her a silhouette with a short, cropped top and long, flared pants. somewhat like this:

they are so silly - ignore my entire rant above about her being treated like a comic relief character and nothing more... because she is indeed funny and a bright little jester of a girl.

wordless space 2, "squeaky toy"

bastard - literally. she is an illegitimate child born out of wedlock.

Crack au about Jason being back from the dead + Tim being adopted before

Jason, back from the dead: don’t be alarmed I am not a ghost

Tim, on an hour of sleep: that is exactly what a ghost would say

Jason, raising on eye brow: okay fair but would a ghost do this *punches Tim in the shoulder hard*

Tim, holding his shoulder, in anger: YOURS WOULD!

[Penelope has finally returned home after 20 years. Around her, the bodies of Odysseus' suitors and their guards are lying lifelessly, hunted like the animals they are.

Penelope grows ever anxious at her husband's silent stare. Odysseus, in a state of shock, slowly moves closer to Penelope.]

Penelope, aware of her state, looks down nervously: Oh stop being so stoic, Odysseus. Go on... shout! Scream! Say something!

[She shuts her eyes, ready for her husband to call her the monster she knows she is. But he doesn't.

Odysseus gently cups her cheeks, lifting her head to meet his gaze. Penelope opens her eyes in surprise]

Odysseus, with eyes full of love and welling up with tears: You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you.

Hiccup: *hiding something in his coat* I think we should adopt another kid!

Astrid: No

Hiccup: Why not?

Eret: Where I’m from locking someone in an arena with nothing but a knife, a wooden shield, and an angry monstrous nightmare would be considered a public execution.

Hiccup: skill issues.

Eret: didn’t you almost die?

Hiccup: well I was pretty weak for a 15 year old, someone else could have done it. Probably.

Eret: YOU WERE FIFTEEN!?

Snotlout: Punch me in the face. Dagur: …Punch you? Snotlout: Yes, punch me, didn’t you hear me? Dagur: I always hear ‘punch me in the face’ while you’re speaking but it’s usually just subtext.

[toothlesshttyd2024]

Hiccup: That was fun... except for those five or six times I thought we were going to die.

[dontgetcaught256]

Viggo, about Snotlout: What’s wrong with him?

Hiccup: Everyone has a different theory.

so you see…

Hiccup: *Gestures vaguely with a miserable expression*

Astrid: ...Fair enough.

Hiccup: He'll know what it means.

*later*

Astrid: Oh, and Hiccup said to give you a message.

Astrid: *makes a neutral face*

Snotlout: Oh no. The neutral face of displeasure.

Ruffnut, gesturing to Hiccup: Tuff, look what you did! You made Mom upset!
