❝I don’t care what they say about me.❞

❛    i know   ,   hiccup   .    ❜      it’s one of the things she admires most about him   ,   she supposes   —   he is STRONG in ways astrid has not seen in many   .   the pressure to be perfect is there   ,   perhaps   —   but his sense of SELF overcomes   .   hiccup follows his heart   ,   more than anyone she has ever known   .   he’s always been this way   ,   and she prays to some distant gods that he never changes   .

nevertheless   —   he may not care   ,   but she does   .   forward thinkers were not always well - received   ;   once upon a time   ,   she had ALSO casted metaphorical stones   .   kept her distance from his difference   .   a foolish girl   ,   she’d been   .   now   ,   she comes to rest a palm on his shoulder   ,   a gesture of comfort   ,   of constant friendship   .   support   .      ❛    and i’m not saying you have to   .   but it’s just a dinner   .   you’ll talk to some people   ,   laugh with some others   .   just a few hours   .   they’ll be less likely to gossip if you just met with them a little   ,   yeah   ?    ❜

           ❛    i know  .    ❜       smile a little sad around     the edges  .     but she is not BITTER  ,     not resigned  .     yes  ,     astrid had spent her childhood dreaming of becoming chief  ,     played pretend  ,     trained hard enough to try to make it a reality  .     but hiccup    —    hiccup was something no viking had ever been  ,     before  .     he BEGAN something  ,     enlightened not only berk  ,     but other islands  .     brought about a deeper PEACE than there was before  .     had it not been for him  ,     there would still be BRIMSTONE  ,     there would still be fire  .     berk would have kept fighting  ,     and what’s worse  ,     many of the casualties would have been innocent  . astrid was not bitter because hiccup would be a mighty chief  ,     one berk would be proud to call theirs  .

he does not have this offering simply because he was stoick’s son  ,     or because he was UNWORTHY  .     hiccup was worthy in many ways astrid had not been  .     fingers find his shoulder  ,     offer a soft sort of comfort  .     a kindness  .       ❛     but you are the one he chose  .     and with good reason  ,     too  .     without you  ,     berk would be what it was  ,     all those years ago  .     ❜       it doesn’t come out as comforting has she’d hoped  .     astrid wonders  ,     for a moment  ,     if anyone has ever asked him what he wanted  .     she thinks she wants to BE that  ,     for him  .       ❛     what do you want to do  ,     hiccup     ?     ❜

' I don't care! I've had enough , I've seen enough. I want out. I want it to END. I don't care anymore! '

             the pressure of a loved one gone                hans couldn’t relate , of course . the one death his memory is cleared enough to remember is one of his grandmother . strict woman , really . but perhaps the only one who have had the audacity to remember and chide over hans . she wasn’t particularly loving , of course , as none westergärds were . but she had been inviting and firm . when hans had asked , she had answered . when hans had cried , she would , in her own way , comfort . hans remember faintly of spending hours with her tending to her monstrous garden just so she would make him forget of all the cruel things brothers would do upon his small body . she passed away when hans was eight , barely an age that could make a boy mourn and depressed when one’s attention could easily be shifted from one thing to another — but it has anchored to his memory somewhat , still .

         but no . of course , hans couldn’t relate . not now , perhaps not ever . if father were to die right now , hans would worry more about what would happen to the kingdom now that caleb would step in rather than what has caused father to die , and how he died , and what happens now after he dies . such petty matters . after father dies ? a new king would be crowned , and hans would left to be forgotten once more . see ! already , he could predict so very easily . but hiccup … hans’ green eyes flicker downwards for a moment , maybe it wouldn’t be so easy being an only child with a loving father . hans wouldn’t dream of losing such control like hiccup is right this very moment . he looks           erratic , reckless , pathetic . all the things hans couldn’t afford to look . his stomach drops .    ❛    but you do . of course you do . how else would you have lived , when all you do your whole life was to care ?     ❜

wow, okay. i’ve been writing jim since february, when trollhunters was new and standing on its first legs and there wasn’t much of community, and though the fandom at large has grown tremendously, the rp community has stayed small. when i made jim, called and compelled to without knowing why, i never for a minute expected to reach two hundred followers, two hundred people  ( excluding po.rnbots, which i block )  interested, in some small way, in my interpretation of james lake.

you all have been unbelievably kind to me. you never for a moment let me doubt my prose or my portrayal. through my rping, i’ve been dealing with my internalized ableism and insecurity regarding my own identity, pouring much of that into jim, and in return, you have poured nothing but love and support in my direction. you have given me a place to explore these things. surrounded by so many lovely souls, i feel safe to take a hard look at the world, not just as an rper, but as a writer at large and as a person, so thank you tremendously. 

writing jim is a joy every day. i could not be happier here.

if you know me, you know that i love complimenting people, so i want to take a moment to shout out to a few people i’ve spoken with and/or who i admire on the dash, people who have deeply enhanced my experience on here. that said, i want to keep this short, but rest assured if you’re not mentioned here that i adore you and your portrayal, and could tell you so and just how every day of the week.

@atlasforced​  /  @mntdwred​  /  @warnthem​  --  whose prose could quite plausibly bring me back from the dead. who has a million and one brilliant ideas, which always leave me with chills, adding onto and enhancing their muses’ stories and characterization. whose writing and whose headcanons reveal the most private natures of their characters, all the places where they’re unbearably real. who doesn’t shy away from the heart of a story, or a character, or an issue; isn’t afraid to peel away the skin and show the ugly and the hurting and the unbearably raw. whose prose shows nothing less than their muses’ deepest humanity, rendered with care and precision and the deepest tenderness. and whose endless support means everything to me.

@geniusflirt​  --  whose concise yet descriptive prose floors me every time i read it. who packs so much power in each metaphor, each description, that i can’t help but reread in awe, marveling over every word. who cares so much about their craft, about becoming the sort of writer they want to be, which is tbh a mark of a good writer. whose vocabulary astounds, and who knows exactly how to use each word to say exactly what they want to say. whose exploration and juxtaposition of tony’s inner life and the way he presents himself show that they are so at odds, but are written so they flow beautifully together. who is so overwhelmingly sweet to me.

@pineboi  /  @hlccup  --  whose poetry breaks my heart, and leaves me breathless, and gets inside my soul. whose love for beauty, and for cultivating beauty, inspires me every day. you are my inspiration. i would write a million worlds and more for you. you touch my heart every time you put fingers to keyboard, in this deeply intimate and insightful way, deeply aware of the world around you and of what lies underneath the world. you make beautiful everything you touch. i learn as a writer every time i read your poetry. i’m so fortunate to know you. i love u <3333

@heartsaint  /  @frystsnow  /  @silrouette  --  the sweetest meme, who i admire deeply, whose prose is like nothing i’ve ever read in such an enchanting way  /  whose writing reads like magic, like watching dance, so precise and measured but at the same time fluid and unbelievably gorgeous. it touches me the way dance does, too, in a slantwise way i don’t expect but that leaves me mesmerized. you love your muses, and that love shines through them, so they, too, become beacons of love. they become their fullest selves. there is something almost mythological to the way you write.

@solliciiti  --  whose prose poetry takes my breath away. who i could learn so much from as a writer and a poet, honestly. whose writing flows like music, making unexpected connections between thoughts, masterfully sliding from thought to thought, between esoteric concepts and concrete details, easy as a river. whose poetic characterization inspires me. whose masterful dialogue captures deep emotion, flowing cadence, and unexpected insights. who has taken a long look at the world and carefully chooses how to portray it in accordance with his artistic vision, who lines up art and reality to rival the best. and who is, of course, far too sweet to me.

@definitelyhiigh  /  @bemcrechill  --  who i definitely admire from a distance, for their unyielding honesty in both characterization and prose, for their dedication to addressing the heavy topics that they write about respectfully, for their overflowing love for their muses, for their beautiful way with words and how effortless it seems for them to tell a story. you take a hard, unflinching look at what it means to be a teenager, what it means to be a person, what it means to be alive.

@sailedstars  --  who holds nothing back, whether regarding themself or about their muse. who shows, in careful prose, the rough side of being a teenager, the intense emotional experience of it, the rage and the blame and the search to find or figure out who you are, where you belong, where you’re going, and coming up empty again and again. who never waters down the experience, but sticks to their guns and their integrity.

@pluvihelion  /  @uselessreptiile  --  who writes like song, this beautiful melodic masterpiece in each post, and who angsts like a freight train on a collision course. who can get inside my heart with just a few words. who masterfully uses environment to reflect characterization, and captures emotion beautifully through detailed descriptions laden with gorgeous, carefully-chosen words. whose prose feels like magic, like a new discovery with each piece i read, a discovery of something transcendent. and in this manner, their muses feel transcendent.

hooOOOOO BOY what a wild ride these last few months have been. I cannot believe I’ve stuck around on this blog long enough for this ??? I am a serial blog hopper just ask steph who cannot seem to pick a place and stay for an extended period of time so this here? this is a miracle. and golly gee the reason I’m still here is of all of you wonderful people who make this fun and remind me why I love to rp. I know a good few of you are citta people ( going to be honest I don’t keep up with the ml whoops ), but woah I also know a large portion of you aren’t so this is even more insane. where did you come from ??? where did you find me ??? throughout my rp “career” I have gone through a lot of groups and even more muses but I keep coming back to Percy here and it means a whole heck of a lot to me that so many of you follow enjoy? me and my Most Important™ here on your dash.

like, holy hell batman.

prophecy kids.  --- literally would not be here today without you guys. thank you for sticking with me ??? ( I find it hilarious that there’s actually seven of you... )

steph. ( @mortifcra​ / @warcrowned​ / && all the others ) a long time ago in a galaxy far far away little old me decided to give tumblr rp another shot upon seeing a promo for a pokemon rp group that somehow find its way to my main blogs dash. pokemon ocs are always great and THIS is where steph came into my life and I’ve been so grateful ever since. There are not enough words out there to describe how much you mean to me and how much I adore rping with you. We’ve been through so many groups, characters, and blogs together and I wouldn’t want to continue on without you by my side.

leo. ( @diimidium​ ) gosh damn I don’t know if I actually have words to write this one. you are one of the best things that’s ever happened to me and I rly do hope you know how much I love all your kids kpop and all because no matter who you play rping with you is such a joy. I couldn’t ask for a better friend to throw down with pls. weeps into my hands

iggy. ( @shadowesqxe​ / @eqxitum ) I did absolutely nothing to deserve you in my life and yet here you are? talking with you means more to me then you probly know but man, I’m trying. you bring so much joy to my life and to my dash. you know? I may hoard your threads but I think its even better that I get to hoard all these hc to. ty for being a meme with me, and nico better chose the blueberry poptarts next time >:U

tae. ( @instinctlion​ / @veranima ) mmmmm god like... I’m just. really really really platonically gay for you, there aren’t exactly words for it. I could spend ages talking about how much you mean to me and like woah my dude you’re amazing and wonderful and stunning and all kinds of other adjectives I’ll bombard you with later. tysm ??? for being my friend and dealing with my hc whiplash daks.hs,fdzfdkjh <33

rin. ( @fairybrand​ / @katsvdon​ / @summersworn ) you know, sometimes I wonder how the fuck I ended up friends with you because, lets be honest, opposites attract and we are far to alike at times. you also are one of the BIGGEST enablers I have ever met in this life. you mean a whole heckin lot to me, hoe jokes and all. I love rping with you, you dumbass, and I love being your friend. meet me in the pit.

kylo. ( @wristcoded​ / @pridepast​ ) so like... idk what this says about me but our first meeting is kinda a blur and ngl it feels like I’ve known you a while. maybe this is weird, because we don’t talk all that often, but you honestly make me smile every damn time. you put so much thought and so much love into your kids, and god bless the headcanons you throw at me because I am living every time. I really hope I get the chance to talk with you and rp with you for a whole lot longer ;u;

sunny. ( @seaprofound ) you are seriously one of the most extroverted people I have ever met. like ??? sunny ??? it is a complete and utter joy to have the chance to rp with you and talk mythos with you and just.... wow I rly like talking with you all the time. I love and adore your Poseidon and all those asks and like, you make my days much brighter. so ya :’D

                 ☂     What’s     your    best    RP  experience?

AWWWW ,      thank  for  sending  this  to  me !     My    best    RP  experience ?    Well ,   that’s    actually    a  pretty  recent  one.   When  I  made  Shinichi  because  of  my  wife  we  didn’t  intend  to  ship  romantically  from  the  beginning  tbh  but  we    discovered    that  we  both  love  KaiShin  to  death  because  of  it’s  chemistry  and  the  pain     &     how  good  they  are  for  each  other ,  etc.   (    I  could  write  you  a  book  about  them  tbh     )   &    most    importantly  ,      it  just  fit.   Our  writing    flowed    together ,   our  ideas  are working    great     together ,   our  muses  flow  together  with  such    grace  and  ease    that  makes  me  want  to  cry  and  we  really  spend  hours  writing  about  them / imagining  situations.   We    work     on  little  headcanons ,  AU’s  and  talk  about  stuff  that  somehow  seems  unimportant  to  others  but    important  to  us    and     I  fucking love  each  second  of  it.      The  moment  when  we  both  decided  to  turn  singleship  with  each  other  was  a  magical  one.    Trust  me  when  I  say  that  I  cried  a  bit.    Grim  made  me  fall  so  hard  and  fast  for  Shinichi  as  a  muse  and  gave  me  so  much  with  this.  

                       ⚌      Who     inspires   you ?

I’LL  NAME  YOU  A  FEW !    I’m    inspired    by  @kairoba / @shootballin / @nekurooma / @kokuyous / @ryuure   &     @kiddo–sama     &     @whiteliesredeyes      &      @puritybled     &     @luckdraw     &    @itaidoshin    &     @dvtto      &      @frystsnow      &      @uselessreptiile     &     @faithtale   &     @groomgore       &        others  from  previous  muses  like  zimnj ,  @caerula-parma ,    @cardgamez ,     @kaizcku ,   @alabasti ,    @batzoku   and  just  super  amazing  people  like  @forzia ,   @centuryslept ,    @eyecursed / @maquiavillain / @mistlovd / @northernblade ,  @oncforall ,  @conbustio ,   @gamespat ,   @wingaced  !  !  !   They  always  make  me  work  more   and  harder     &      keep  going.   I  feel ��deeply  inspired  by  their  love  for  their  muse /  muses  and  the  effort  and  passion  they  put  into  each  one.

                          PACIFIC RIM STARTERS || accepting || @uselessreptiile​

     Lance’s lips were twisted, his expression otherwise blank. The blood pooling on the round of his nose slipped, SPILLING across his lips. He wiped it away angrily, well-aware the cut on his brow was ugly and likely to scar. He found he couldn’t care. He also found he couldn’t meet Hiccup’s eyes.  

    ❝I know how it works,❞ Lance bit out after a moment, his stubbornness and inability to remain silent soon winning over any thoughts of staying stoic. ❝But I also know there were - are people out there who are dying. I’ll make the decisions,❞ Lance grit out, lips tasting METALLIC, throat dry, ❝and I’ll accept the consequences.❞ He was sure that Hiccup was referring to his incapability of leaving people. Perhaps he was alluding to Lance’s too trusting nature, and the fact that he’d wanted to rescue those who were morally ambiguous as well. Lance couldn’t help it; he was SELFLESS. It was who he was.

     Or maybe, just maybe, Hiccup was referring to Lance’s placement of himself as lowest priority. ❝At the end of the day,❞ Lance eventually continued, wiping the steady drip of blood away again - 

                   ( it was a bad cut, he needed to wrap up this conversation quickly                                                  so that he could patch it up ) 

    - numbness blooming in his stomach. ❝At the end of the day, these people are more important than I am. The lives of the many outweigh the life of one. I’m not as necessary and if -❞ Lance HESITATED, swallowing past the bump in his throat. When he continued, it was significantly quieter. ❝If they’re more important than I am, then I’ll choose them every time. My decision is them every time, my -- the consequences I know how to deal with.❞

SAP TIME! i’ve been here about a week, and honestly, i’m so glad i decided to make cho. i still can’t believe i have so many followers this fast! i’ve wanted to join the HP fandom for forever and honestly, i just never thought i could do anyone justice. but after watching ootp with a friend, i got fed up with how cho was treated and decided to take matters into my own hands.

cho is by far the blog i’ve gotten the most positive feedback on ever. and it’s only been a week. it makes me so happy that people enjoy my portrayal and writing with me! everyone is so lovely i wish i could speak with you all!

these are just a few of the people i want to thank for making my experience so enjoyable thus far.

she cannot lie to him   ,   tell him he belongs here permanently   ,   tell him he has nothing to think about   .   hiccup haddock always belonged to a map   ,   to exploration   ,   to creation and discovery and the unknown   .   chief was a HANDSOME title on him   .   but so was explorer   .

it silences her  ,     at least for the moment  .     his tone comes as a STING  ,     sharp and brutal  ,     like the tail of a speed stinger  .     MOMENTARILY  ,     astrid is left numbed  .     she is a warrior  ,     viking hearted and built for war  ,     for fighting  .     she does NOT like being yelled at  . 

his only saving grace is the tremble of his fingertips  .     it’s a subtle thing  ,     weak to the untrained eye    —    but astrid is well versed in ALL things hiccup    ;    knows the crinkle of his brow  ,     the laughter lines around his eyes  .     knows the sound of his prosthetic  ,     the way he taps his ring finger against his thigh when he’s nervous  .     knows the shake of his palms when it’s TOO MUCH  ,     when everything is too much  . 

the fight in her is swallowed away  ,     saved for later  .     the pettiness  ,     however  ,     isn’t  .       ❛     i’ve been listening  ,     hiccup  .     i KNOW this is a lot  ,     and i know you’re angry  ,     but i’m just trying to HELP you  ,     okay     ?     do not take your anger out on me  .     ❜       STERN is she  ,     with her lips pressed tight  ,     with her arms crossed  .     when astrid exhales  ,     it’s a HEAVY thing  ,     too old for her years  .     knows it isn’t fair    —    hiccup’s aging faster than he should be  ,     too  .     she extends a palm  ,     tries to brush the SHADOWS away from under his eyes  .     fingertips trail like butterfly wings over the soft  ,     usually untouched flesh  .     when her hand drops back  ,     it’s still bruised from exhaustion  .     maybe her help isn’t good enough  .     astrid steps back  ,     away  ,     towards the doors  .       ❛     you want me to stop  ,     i’ll stop  .     but you know where to find me if you want that help  .     ❜

she goes  .

20. things you said i wasn’t meant to hear.

her surprise is PALPABLE  .     tangible  .     it builds in her throat  ,     words forming but dying before they pass her lips  .     here  ,     astrid is FROZEN  ,     fossilized  ,     soft core encased in cracking amber  .     for each second longer he LOOKS  ,     it’s another chip to her casing  .     astrid swallows  .     

it isn’t BAD  ,     taboo to talk about marriage braids  .     little viking girls GUSHED over them from time to time  ,     in between giggles  ,     in between throwing axes  .     in between learning how to become warriors  .     but for some reason  ,     she’s EMBARRASSED  .     she was made for a war  ,     for combat  .     her skin was THICK  ,     tough  .     astrid is a woman of STRENGTH  ,     constant vigilance  .     victory in a CONSTANT battle  .

instead  ,     she talks of her petal - soft hair  ,     of her mother’s fingers lovingly weaving her long locks into something INTRICATE  .     something beautiful  ,     but impractical  .     not meant to fight in  .     it comes with a wry  ,     faraway grin  .     astrid talks of the waves it’ll create once it’s unthreaded  ,     untangled  .     she is both warrior and woman  ,     and it shows in the strength of her arms  ,     but also in the flow of her tresses  .     the soft of her wrists  .  as always  ,     she is both woman and warrior  .     empowering  .

it isn’t ILLICIT  ,     but hiccup hears her SOFTNESS  ,     sees it with his wide - eyed stare  .     astrid is shaken from her reverie with a startle  ,     finds his gaze with cheeks too warm heart too SOFT  ,     soft enough it could leak right out of her chest  ,     if she let it  . 

she doesn’t  .     astrid clears her throat  ,     eyes looking for her nearest escape routes  .     she wants out  ,     wants out  .     doesn’t know WHY this is flustering her so deeply  ,     but astrid will fight tooth and nail to get out of this conversation  ,     if she has to  .       ❛     what     ?     these are    —    good things to be prepared for  ,     okay     ?     it’s just  …  smart to think about  .     that’s all  .     anyway  ,     did you need  —  are there any updates on viggo’s ship     ?     ❜

☺  What tends to bring out your muse the most? What inspires you?

watching canon things, of course, brings out muse. sometimes i’ll watch rtte or httyd or things to get back in the groove of things, to inspire voice, etc. in a less obvious fashion, memes really get my muse going. i love !!! writing memes, okay, there’s a 100% chance that i do more memes than i do replies, and it’s just because i have so much muse for all the different scenarios presented with one little prompt or two. having different scenarios really gets me thinking of how my muse would react. i’m inspired by music and other writers—i’m always in love with finding astrid songs, or reading other people’s threads. everyone is so talented and i just !!! i luv.

i also love making aesthetic posts. hoooooo boy. that sparks muse.

⚡ What are the good sides with duplicates?

alright listen up i hecking love duplicates. i love meeting people who love the muse i also have so much that they had to write her, because i 100000% relate. i love talking to people who get the charm about the character that i’m writing. i love seeing different portrayals, and the way the mun carries their hc’s onto the muse. it’s a wonderful thing, having other astrid’s on my dash. i don’t shy away from duplicates, and i just really wholesomely want to be friends w/ all the muns but i am v shy

⚌ Who inspires you?

me, crying: my momBUT OK NO, RLY i am truly inspired by evERYONE ON THIS HELLSITE. everyone is so strONG and good and everyone in the rp community has, at the very least, a shared passion for a character. there is a group of individuals who, at the end of the day, want to come here and write. that inspires the hell out of me tbh.

more specifically, i will never not be inspired by my gay dad @hlccup. everything about her writing is phenomenal and i can only aspire 2 be cool like her one day.

i’m inspired by all types of writers, from novelists to poets—especially poets, tbh. my favs. i’m a ho for anne sexton and Always™ emily dickinson and her depressing af work. it’s my favorite ok. i love newer-ish poets like richard siken and, my PERSONAL favorite poet ever is allison seay. 

sidenote, a beautiful book that everyone should read is the heart by maylis de kerangal. best insp. beautiful just beautiful my all time favorite book

i’m also inspired by u gems : @hvessa @vaxngr @uselessreptiile @matnadr @astroliability @siihas @brandcd and so many moRE oh my goSH

❛ my whole life consists of wondering whether or not to make the bitchy comment ❜

                                POP. TEXT POSTS || Accepting || @uselessreptiile

      Lance lounges back on the grass, arms tucked beneath his head. He opens a lazy, blue eye, regarding Hiccup with it casually. ❝Amen,❞ he agrees with a snort of amusement, spreading his long legs out in an attempt to get more comfortable. He keeps his view trained on his companion, unsure as to where the comment came from. Still, it’s relatable. 

     ❝You gotta weigh up the pros and cons,❞ Lance says after a moment, lips twisting into a considering fashion. ❝It sort of depends who you’re with as well, you know? All these variables. Gotta make sure they won’t punch you for it, but then again, sometimes the bitchy comment might be worth it, y’know?❞ He shakes his head as though thinking back to some situation in which that very scenario has happened, and his eyes slide shut again.

     ❝Sometimes the moment passes too quickly and before you know it it’s too late to make the bitchy comment, but I always think about it. One day I wanna be the kinda guy who just spouts the bitchy comments without caring for the ramifications.❞ He moves then, spreading his arms up in front of him as though trying to shape some picture for the two of them to see. His eyes open once more. ❝That’s my ultimate goal. The bitchy comment guy.❞
