𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 : abrandr & hvessa .

rules under cut!

ONE. my portrayal is heavily adapted from viking lore , as well as major influences from the following : vikings valhalla , assassin's creed valhalla , and norse mythology . the how to train your dragon media is merely a supplement to my portrayal , so it's best to plot with me first prior to interacting so that there isn't any confusion in how i write hiccup .

TWO. mature content will be present on this blog , so please follow at your own discretion . these themes include mentions or written depictions of : war , violence , sex , death , religious trauma , and mental illness . i will not write any of this with those under the age of 21 .

THREE. i made this blog with the intention to write with friends and people i know . please make note that i am wary of whom i follow and will likely not follow first . if we are mutuals on my other blogs listed above , then you're more than welcome here !

FOUR. i do not have hiccstrid incorporated into my main canon . please do not assume hiccup has a relationship with astrid if you are not any of the individuals on my affiliates list . any mentions of astrid being romantically involved with hiccup will be with abrandr . i am also ship - exclusive with heather at hvessa . otherwise , crossover ships are more than welcome . just come chat with me first prior about it !

FIVE. all of the psds , graphics , and carrd layouts you see on this blog have been made by me and i will not tolerate any theft . anything that is not mine will be appropriately credited .

SIX. the most important rule : don't be an asshole . any form of hate , homophobia , transphobia , ableism , racism , anti-semitism , pedophilia and more that i see present on my dash will immediately result in a block and publicly announced . there is a zero - tolerance policy on my blog for this kind of behavior . don't be gross and there won't anything to worry about :)

SEVEN. since i am exclusively using beta editor , i will not follow those who exclusively use legacy editor since i will not be able to trim posts .

❝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   ?    ❜

What were astrid's thoughts on hiccup in the first film and how /exactly/ have they changed since then? (Btw it doesn't have to include the "romance" aspect if it doesn't apply to your portrayal!)

send me questions you have about my character!

my thoughts on this are kinda all over the place, so please bear with me !!!  i’ll try to make all of my word vomit make sense rip

OKAY SO…  first movie…  she didn’t…  really care about him?  or rather, she was relatively neutral about him- she didn’t dislike him nor necessarily like him.  she knew who he was, knew he assisted with gobber, && knew that a lot of the times he was a bit of a screwup, but thats about it ( && i’m not saying that she knows this because she paid special attention to him, more so because astrid is pretty observant ).  astrid in the first movie was more focused on training/dragon hunting, fighting for honor && being the best viking she could be, so she didn’t really have much of a relationship with ANYONE- this of course, including hiccup.  

but when she was around hiccup, i liked to believe she didn’t mind his company- for the most part that is.  i wouldn’t say she favored hiccup at ALL out of the other teens, but she knew he was nice, if not a bit awkward.  she did however let herself get TREMENDOUSLY frustrated with him because he kept!!!  fucking things up!  she had her job && he had his, she could do her part for berk just fine but why couldn’t he?  for her, astrid’s path was so so so clear && set out before her, she could walk her path just fine, && she simply couldn’t understand why hiccup couldn’t walk his own.  it’s even MORE apparent in the scene where they’re all in dragon training, && astrid goes OFF after a close encounter with a nadder.  she’s FURIOUS that his hesitation, && what she sees as him playing around, could’ve potentially gotten them killed- because astrid took her training very very seriously.  

&& he didn’t ( or so she believed ).  it pissed her off- what she saw as his cowardice && hesitation REALLY got under her skin more than she was willing to admit.  

however, this all changes after hiccup takes her on a sky ride with toothless.  now astrid is not someone who can easily be swept off her feet, && i don’t believe that her feelings were so easily shifted from platonic to SLIGHT romantic intentions- but thats another question because this post will get too damn long. 

BUT, astrid went from seeing hiccup as being this awkward, slightly annoying kid who had no idea what he was doing, to being someone she greatly respected.  she tells him that everyone else would’ve killed that dragon, but why didn’t you?  && it’s because he couldn’t!!!  because he saw himself in toothless’ eyes && he couldn’t bring himself to kill a dragon.  

he did what NO ONE ELSE in berk did- he thought about it, he tried different approaches- he may not have asked to be different from his people, but he is.  he saw something beautiful in those dragons that no one else would allow themselves to see, && he gave toothless mercy because...  how could he kill a defenseless creature?  

&& he was even able to prove astrid wrong, he showed her with toothless that dragons aren’t these demonic creatures that kill for fun- that they’re simply these gentle beasts that happen to live nearby, that they aren’t necessarily evil, but simply trying to survive against something they cannot run away from.  that they’re SCARED.

&& then he shows her his bravery, his willingness to protect his friends && the dragons that are so misunderstood despite the fact that his father, && all of berk wish to find the dragon hideout && destroy it.  he stands up for the RIGHT REASON to her...  && she accepts it.  he’s willing to put himself on the line to show his people that they were WRONG, && that no one needs to die anymore, no humans OR dragons.

hiccup was standing up for his beliefs, && standing up for the right reasons.  how could she NOT admire him for that?  respect him?  

because if she had been in his shoes, she knows she would’ve killed toothless.

&& of course thats only solidified even more when he goes to fight && kill the dragon that is not only threatening his people, but has been threatening all those other dragons for GODS KNOW how long.  he’s willing to risk his life to protect his people && the dragons, he fought for what was right to the END 

even though it cost him something.

astrid...  just has so much love && respect for who hiccup is as a person, as a friend, && as a protector of berk.  he did something no one else was able to pull off.  && her respect only continues to grow for him into the second movie.  

i mean...  astrid NEVER questions that hiccup is able to be chief- because she KNOWS he can do it.  if she had her doubts she would’ve vocalized them, but thats just how much she believes in hiccup, && just how much she trusts him to always do the right thing for his people.  sure he may still be a coward at times && run away, but at the end of the day, she always believes that he has the ability to do the right thing. 

&& he’s always proved her right.

' you haven't changed . ' :) :) :)

              ❛     monsters turning into princes only lives in fairytale , i’m afraid . a shame , really . i’m sure a version of me with — a heart — is a much more likeable person to be around . perhaps sincere  .  kinder , even  .  but alas  ,  what’s the use of harbouring such noble trait when people keep on discarding you to the side . ah yes , nice people are more approachable , i suppose , but villains  ———    how does the saying goes again ? there’s a thin line between love and hate ?     ❜     hans smirks , and he feels his chest expands , his lungs breathes easy . this is not who he wants to be , no , but it’s who the world has pushed him to become : so why not embrace it ? why not flaunt it ?    ❛    and since love works as much as setting water on fire for me , why not have people hate me instead ? at least i’ll be remembered . at least i’ll be acknowledged . wouldn’t you agree , o’ dear hiccup ?    ❜

❝ hey man — you SURE he don't bite or nothin’ ? ❞ COUNTLESS times before had hiccup tried vigorously to get jim closer and closer to his companion - however much he liked animals , dragons were a different story. ❝ because ... toothless or not , shit's scary man. ❞

' they always trust me to be someone who I don't even want to be. '

               she more than    understands what he means ,   having had this exact thought herself more than once .   but something stirs inside her at his voice ,   the way he speaks of himself .   astrid wonders if he truly knows what he looks like ,   how his stance resembles his father’s even when they were kids .   there was a time before ,   when he didn’t know himself ,   when he day dreamed about being enough to kill .   may odin strike her down if hiccup ever reverted to that way of thinking .

let her hands be bloody for him ,   stained red with their foes in his name before he returns to the scared boy of old .   hiccup haddock is strong now ,   more than he knows ;   she sees it each and every day he smiles at her ,   in the way he takes charge of their small friend group ,   how he continues to bond with the nightfury despite their years of friendship .   if he could see the way she views him ,   astrid is sure hiccup would understand .        ❛   you don’t need to be anyone other than you .   not for berk ,   not even for me .   you are you ,   and i trust you to do what you do .   ❜

❛ I don’t know where I belong. ❜

it comes with an ACHE   ,   something painful  ,   a strike of ice to the center of her chest   .   something pulsating   ,   nagging   .   a reminder that boys who flew with dragons could never quite be tamed   ,   either   .   a reminder that boys with wild hearts lived on the wind   ,   a messy contradiction   ,   flimsy and fleeting and always moving   ,   but still constant   .   still strong   .   she feels hiccup when he’s AROUND   ,   but also when he’s gone   .

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   .   

smile is tinged SAD   ,   a bittersweet sort of pull   ,   like underripe fruit   ,   like heartbreak   .   her voice doesn’t waver   .      ❛    i’ll always support you   ,   hiccup   .   no matter what you do   .   you know that   .    ❜

           Seemed like she wasn’t going to be this cave’s lone occupant for long. Having sought shelter from the broad daylight, which was ( fortunately ) sinking behind the horizon in tones of monarch orange and red; Mavis eyed the stranger and his dragon as they settled by the mouth of the cave. Were they companions ? Though Mavis still knew little of the human world, she was pretty sure dragons and humans were still on opposing sides. Perhaps that wasn’t the case anymore. Curious, she left her perch, though remained hesitant in approaching. Was this a bad idea ? Probably. ❛  -- Uh, hey there ! ❜
