#sick hiccup

[jackshiccup]

i cannot believe it’s taken my nth rewatch to notice how toothless’ wings unfurl directly behind hiccup during the new tail scene i am once again going insane

[paranormaljones]

okay so my theory about How To Train Your Dragon is that Astrid loved Hiccup WAYYYYY before the events of Romantic Flight but due to how the vikings lived in near constant combat with the dragons and young children/teens being forced to learn how to defend themselves and their families from an early age, she closed herself off to those feelings because by all accounts Hiccup was doomed to die. she resented how useless he was in combat, and she resented how much she cared. she was mean and dismissive to him out of fear that she would inevitably have to mourn him soon, and the colder she was the easier it would be.

then, miraculously, Hiccup begins to show some kind of competency in dealing with the dragons. but he's still not defending himself. he's finding strange ways of controlling them, but he's still as physically weak as he was before and Astrid can't see how whatever he's doing will help him outside of the training ring. great, you found out that Deadly Nadders like chin scratches. what about the Monstrous Nightmare burning down your house?

all this just makes Astrid angrier. how is Hiccup succeeding without violence? how will he survive without violence? violence is what she was born into. what does he know that she can't comprehend?

it's only later, when she sees that this scrawny beanpole of a boy has found a companion in a Night Fury, the embodiment of Death, that the miracle of him starts to make sense. he knows so much more than what any of their people can comprehend. and he wants so badly to show her. and for the first time ever, Astrid has hope.

i believe that this explains Astrid's comfortability and affection for Hiccup that she shows during and after the events of Romantic Flight, why she wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheek after everything. considering her personality, i don't think Romantic Flight shows her falling in love with Hiccup for the first time. i think she has loved him for a long time, and was too trapped in self-protection to allow herself to feel it (similar to Katniss regarding Peeta). but now she has hope that maybe he won't be ripped away from her. now she sees how much more there is to him, sees that he embodies Mercy stronger than Death.

Every time someone calls Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third the Useful “Hiccup Haddock” a dragon loses its wings

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

Concept: Hiccup starting to overshare when he unconsciously realizes he has close human friends and accidentally sharing some very depressing facts about his life that he doesn't realize are actually depressing because he is so used to them and the Dragon Riders are just 😶

[neztune]

And now…. I have another concept for a full drawing

So take the concept while I figure out how to work with fire as a light source and fight the general procrastination on completing things 😋

[countlessofvoids]

Me when I think I came across a Valka edit but it turns out to be another Hiccup thirst trap

[geneslovee]

im thinking of changing my name again because im cursing at my 14 year old self who picked this random white name for me to live with now so ive been researching traditional Sakha names to get it right and apparently before the russians came and fucked up all our shit with their taxes and christianity, it was the norm for every Sakha person to change their name in their lifetime if not twice, then three times, and who knows if maybe more

basically, the newborn Sakha in the pre-christianity era would be given a name right away after birth like all kids, but once they grew up and started exhibiting individual traits they would be given a descriptive nickname which could describe pretty much anything about a person - positive characteristics, negative characteristics, physical quirks, facial features, body type, age, etc etc. one of my faves i found was Бэлтэкэ (Belteke) with means ‘round face’. would fit me ngl

anyways this is awesome news for me and i just wanted to share because learning that changing names throughout your life is historically super normal for our people makes me feel better about changing it for the second time, yknow? especially with the fact that those names were an individual’s descriptor. almost kind of like being trans and changing your name to one that suits you as a person better so you don’t walk around with the one that had nothing to do with who you really are on a personal level for your whole life

Dad December 2024 Day 2

The Son is Sick

Summary: Set in a Dystopian/Post-Apocalypse AU. Hiccup notices that his eldest is sick.

Warnings: Sickfic

Rating: General

Words: 635

Prompt: Sick day

Fandom: How to Train Your Dragon

Characters: Hiccup, Zephyr, Httyd ocs (Vigi Tiny)

Pairing: Hiccstrid

Author’s Notes: Not the first one-shot that I wrote for this AU, which is why I know that this is only the beginning of Hiccup's MOST RECENT troubles.

Enjoy!

-XOXOX-

It's late in the evening. After making sure Zephyr is fast asleep in her basket, Hiccup settles into his son's bed with Tiny. The boy has already picked out a book for him to read from. He picked it from the small collection that they have stuffed in between the bigger books of his parents in the living room bookshelf. Coughing, he crawls into his lap and pulls the blanket over the both of them.

Naturally, Hiccup watches him for a moment. That wasn't the first time he heard that cough this evening.

Settling in comfortably with his son in his lap and the book in his hands, Hiccup takes a look at what the choice is for today.

It's a collection of fairy tales. Not the dark stories like from the brothers Grimm and such, but their sanitized versions considered more "child-friendly."

"Okay, Vigi, what're we reading today?" Hiccup asks as they read the table of contents together.

"That one!" Tiny's finger immediately settles on that of The Three Little Pigs and Hiccup smiles before turning the pages to that exact one. Finding the right story, he begins.

Or rather, Tiny has another coughing fit and then he begins to read.

At six years old, his son is at the age in which he can read along a little. There's a school that he goes to, but even after work, Hiccup still takes some extra time out of his day to teach his son how to read and write and how to do math. When there isn't a lot to do at the workshop, Gobber doesn't mind it if he takes an hour to teach Vigi during the day. The boy likes to watch his father work.

"And he says-" Just as he's about to break out a third little pig's voice, Tiny interrupts him.

"What's that say?" He asks, no longer paying attention to the overall story as he's trying to decipher a particular word. He knows his letters, he knows what they sound like, yet he doesn't know this word and wouldn't know how to say it or what it means.

"It's-" when Hiccup wants to respond, his son has another coughing fit. It doesn't sound like a congestive cough, but that's what it could turn into.

Waiting until he's finished, Hiccup answers his question before continuing on with the fairy tale. Or cautionary tale, as that's what they used to be.

He tries to dismiss the fits. Astrid often tells him that he's "too worried" and "should let their son breathe." And if she were home, she would probably tell him that it's just a little cough. People often cough, especially down here. That doesn't necessarily mean that something has to be wrong.

Yet the next time a fit comes, Hiccup immediately pauses to place a hand on his son's forehead. He doesn't feel particularly warm. Just to be sure, he leans down to press his cheek to his forehead instead. Vigi lets him, though the craning of his neck makes another series of coughs erupt from his throat.

His dad pulls away from him when they do and simply watches as his eldest has to practically fold in half just to cough. He doesn't have a fever, not yet at least, but Hiccup has already decided that he might see a doctor with him tomorrow. Astrid is right, he does have a tendency of getting overprotective, but that might not be the case this time.

Once the story is finished, interrupted once or twice more by another fit, Hiccup closes the book and puts it aside. Tiny still in his lap, he wraps his arms around him. His eyes are slipping closed, he's falling asleep.

"Come on," Hiccup kisses the top of his head. "You're sleeping in my bed tonight.

Hiccup hates feeling hungry. He hates it. It’s about the only reason why he misses not sensing his own body.

It’s like teeth are gnawing on his stomach as it rumbles and growls. It hurts, he feels sick, lightheaded. He eats when he has to, what he has to, why is it asking for more? He didn’t have this trouble back home.

Toothless rumbles in worry, nuzzling his palm as he sits on a bench, his burns almost healed. The two of them are in the gym of the base, Mala promised him that he could see at least his Night Fury if he behaved and he did.

Not outside, though. Because if he figured out where the Defenders were located, it would only be a matter of time before Valka would know where they kept him and his dragons.

Toothless can feel that he’s sick to his stomach. He asks him what’s wrong, he can’t just hear his every thought like he used to. Hiccup holds himself, unable to tell if he’s just hungry or if he’s actually getting sick.

“Hiccup, are you okay?” Fishlegs asks, just shy of placing a hand on his shoulder. Because of course they’re not alone. Just because they let him see his dragon, it doesn’t mean he can leave his room without supervision. It’s locked from the outside for a reason.

“I’m fine,” that’s his answer seconds before he has to stop himself from throwing up.

-XOXOX-

It was all bile.

“When was the last time you ate?!” Astrid asks him, his visit with Toothless cut short, although the Night Fury almost became violent when it became clear they wanted to separate them.

“I eat when I need to!” Hiccup snaps back at her. He can feel her criticism coming from a mile away.

“And when is that?” As the two of them argue, her friends stand just outside of his room and listen. It’s not like they keep an eye on when or what he eats.

Arms crossed, he refuses to answer. He still feels sick, but at the same time, his stomach is still trying to eat itself.

“I eat when I need to.”

Like when his special drugs made him so sick he couldn’t keep anything down for weeks and weeks on end and they had to force feed him the bare minimum just to keep him alive. He just didn’t want to eat anymore. And with his senses shoved to a corner deep inside, it’s not like food has taste.

When he’s back with his mother, it’ll go back to having no taste.

“That’s not an answer,” Astrid is disappointed and simply turns away, done with his stubbornness for today.

It’s been two days since he last ate.

i want to consume your art into my very soul by the way. it’s amazing and you draw them so well!!!

also yeah i love seeing your headcannons and ideas about trans astrid because i feel like we don’t get that a lot in the fandom. it’s very interesting to see how you perceive astrid’s growth as a character from building herself into the most fearsome warrior of her generation and that all being torn down, and how she finally has her girlhood but doesn’t know what to do with it

anyway ty for reading this rambly ask!!

hello i am so sorry for having this sit in my inbox for so long!!!! I really wanted to think of a good response to this ;___; it means a lot that you enjoy my art and how i draw them. I’m still working on aligning the dragon riders’ younger teen selves to how they appear in httyd2, i think, but hopefully drawing more of them will mean that their shape language also begins to come naturally to me…. I HOPE……….

i think trans astrid having 3 fics on ao3 is hugely a shame and the lack of it in the fandom makes me so sad. not that i think a lot of astrid characterizations are the best, anyways… astrid is one of those characters that i think is hard to nail down, in part because canon itself doesn’t really know what to do with her — is she the girl that the hero gets? is she the heart of the team? is she a girlboss? is she a damsel? the series kind of loses itself here trying to answer these questions. but i think the most compelling and consistent narrative about astrid is her coming of age: how she navigates being a member of a community shaped overwhelmingly by loss now faced with sudden abundance

and i think trans astrid in specific is one of the most fun lens you could explore that arc through, in part because you get to explore the httyd-verse with questions like “how are queer people who are not the child of the chief of berk treated” (not that berk, in my head, cares all that much for what bits you’re born with). but if astrid’s most consistent piece of core characterization is her finding her way to adulthood when she hasn’t quite fleshed out what childhood means to her, then giving another layer to her finding out what exactly “girlhood” means in all senses of the word can only be a fruitful experience.

at least, that’s the way i view it! especially since astrid is so much the it girl on berk — except berk’s it girl can’t cook and puts on smudgy dark eye makeup and wears skirts that seem impossible to sit in and reaches up to touch the clouds that always seemed impossible to reach. so in some ways, astrid’s figured out bits and pieces of what girlhood means to her. now she just has to figure out the rest of it

[hiccupologist]

peter has mixed feelings about nausea hiccups as a source of masochistic fulfillment, since on one hand his strong core muscles compared to his relatively small frame make them deeply painful and they’re a good source of both sympathy and humiliation, but on the other hand he does like to maintain some form of decorum, as well as be able to articulate himself clearly…
