Off-topic? Ha! No such thing! :)

[krissielee]

So this is sort of an overall off-topic post for all other random things that don't quite fit the purpose of the request post.

You know, questions you'd like answered, random other bits of fluff, discussions about how thus-and-such pairing rocks way hardcore ...

So ... *claps* Get to it! Post to your Disney-loving heart's content! ♥

Okay, so yes, we should stop clogging up the thread over here with HTTYD talk. I know it's not Disney, but Elsa & Hiccup friendship is also fast becoming one of my favourite things, pfft

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

Well, I originally meant for Dagur to get his rapey on at Hans, but now that you mention it Hans could well find that sort of flattering. Oh dear. If Elsa&Hiccup&Toothless is the dream team, then Dagur&Hans is definitely the nightmare team. And Dagur/Hans is definitely worse. Oh god, I'm not sure if the mental images are hot or scarring.With the power of the King, I... think it depends on how much power he has versus how much power the cult has? I mean, Stoick is the chief of the tribe, but he still almost gets steamrollered into sending the dragons away on multiple occasions just by ordinary people. If the cult group basically control who is on the throne, then the King could well be looking at his own death if he doesn't do what they want, and probably his wife's and maybe even Anna's, and then they'll just kill Elsa anyway. If the King is basically a figurehead for the cult, and there is no parliament-equivalent, then... well, to be honest, you're fucked. But that would still make for an interesting arc

First the continuation of the fic

I may go over to Elsa's POV for some chapters, but for now Hiccup's works best. Glad you're still enjoying this, although it may have to go on the back burner for a bit while I work on the Frozen/ROTG fic which is due in, like, two months and is only half done. I'm so fucked on that count, though, I'm really freaking out that it might well not happen

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[ashleybenlove]

I totally understand. Fics with actual deadlines are higher in priority than fics with no deadlines. A lot can happen in two months, so maybe you’ll get the rest done. Sends good vibes your way

Aw, thank you. <3

No problem. <3

I know some stuff about the aurora. Basically, it's radiation interacting with the Earth's atmosphere, and generally keeps to the polar regions. But I think that geomagnetic storms, like solar wind, can make it spread further south. I've never seen an aurora myself (sadly), but I know that it has come down to UK latitudes before, for example. It doesn't repeat regularly like that. Considering we have Elsa in this setting, though, I suppose we can call it magic and not think too hard about it. :p

Stoick, Gobber, Hiccup, Elsa, Anna, Toothless, Thornado, Flightmare, Terrors. That is a household and a half. And I don't even want to think about how much fish they must get through. And Gobber's grumping around talking about the arena and Hiccup is going LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT, and Anna is Anna and probably wants to make snow angels in her underwear or go riding in the middle of the night, and Elsa doesn't necessarily work to the same rules as everyone else and if she can't sleep probably goes to curl up under Toothless's wings again.

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

(This needed two comments omg.)

I’m in South Texas (~150 miles away from Mexico), so I’ve never seen an aurora either, but I definitely would love to see one. It’s probably super breathtaking. And yeah, with Elsa around, let’s just call it magic because yay magic!

Omg, the Stoick trying to figure how to tell Elsa not to sleep in Hiccup’s room because it’s inappropriate, I love it. Sorry Stoick. I can’t help but wonder if he told something to Hiccup and Astrid off-screen in How To Start A Dragon Academy because I’m fairly certain (but not completely) that the scene where he’s sort of “oh everything hurts” and then she shows up in his room and then Stoick shows up, is like the only time she and him are in his room together. Maybe he was like, “Son, it’s not appropriate for Astrid to be in your room.” Haha, Stoick, jokes on you, they have dragons they can fly off to places where you can’t control their behaviors.

And haha, the way she just slams open the door in Heather Report and then KICKS Hiccup awake is hilarious and awesome and

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[ashleybenlove]

Yes, so much that. Oh, man, Hiccup greeting Toothless with a “hey baby” would be adorable and hilarious. And he probably holds his face too. He seems to do that. And haha, Snotlout would be disgusted (though, in Fright of Passage, he talks about Hookfang being the last face he wants to see and makes a comment about “last time I hold his face” so shut up, Snotlout, lol), and Astrid would be like… well, this is what I signed up for

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[afterandalasia]

*snorts* Yeah, it's probably a good thing Hiccup was sneaking off by himself in HTTYD, otherwise there would have been rumours. Actually, to be fair, I suspect if it were anyone other than Hiccup there would have been rumours (sorry, Hiccup). And I can imagine Hiccup is just like... "Inappropriate? Elsa's a friend! She helped save my life! Would you say it was inappropriate if Fishlegs was in my room? Would you say it was in appropriate if Snotl- I'm not even gonna go there. Though I'll admit it would be inappropriate if Dagur was in my room." And Hiccup obviously gives up his room when Heather moves in, and even Toothless moves downstairs as well.

I love it when we see the teenagers acting like teenagers, which we do see very occasionally. Like, when they're all snowed in during Frozen, or when Hiccup is trying to teach them something in Animal House (I think?) and there's the quiz, and it just descends into them firing at each other via dragons. Because that's what would happen if you gave teenagers dragons.

I wonder if Portrait

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[ashleybenlove]

And Toothless is kinda grumbly, maybe a little put out to have to sleep downstairs when Heather is sleeping in Hiccup’s room. Though, he seems pretty chill with bunking with Hiccup by the hearth. And probably the only reason Hiccup wasn’t sleeping like right next to (or even wrapped in his wings) Toothless when we do see them sleeping is so Astrid could kick Hiccup awake. Which will never get old (mostly because Hiccup’s reaction). I’m sure most of the other times, Hiccup wasn’t sleeping on that shark skin thingy (which I think gets reused in Cast Out Part 1 by Tuff) and was more like sleeping next to Toothless.

Yep, that’s exactly what would happen when you give teenagers giant firebreathing winged reptiles, yep. And that adorable snowboarding scene involving dragons between Hiccup and Astrid in Animal House. Just flirty teenagers casually snowboarding while riding dragons. Totally normal. And gosh, Hiccup’s so sick of them after a week in Frozen, that he’s likes hello yes me and my dragon are ready to go on a rescue mission

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[afterandalasia]

Yeah, Astrid kicking Hiccup awake was just golden. Sadly, I can't find any gifs of it; the closest I can get is this which is Hiccup asleep. Or some screenshots of Astrid punching and kicking Hiccup.

Toothless is so done with their flirting in Animal House, though, omg. He's just got this look like he wants to roll his eyes but he needs to watch where he's going. Toothless does the best bitchfaces

Re: HTTYD Thread [Frozen Mention]

[ashleybenlove]

Here’s a whole video with most of Astrid’s “violent communication” in the first season. Personally, I’d love to see a video of like every single time Hiccup calls Toothless “bud” because it would be gloriously amazing and I’d love it. His joyous “HEY BUD!” in Gift of the Night Fury is particularly lovely and beautiful. I also love Gobber’s little soft “Stoick” in that scene because gosh, Hiccup’s two dads watching Hiccup with his best friend

Chapter Two, part two.

The sun was making an attempt to peek in through the top of the sinkhole when he remembered that he was supposed to be at the smithy for midday. Apologising profusely, Hiccup jumped to his feet, then thought to grab a couple of the old, chipped pots Elsa had and take them down to the pool to fill them up. She started to protest until he reached the edge, and when he glanced round she was looking relieved

“Yeah, it might. Though we... might want to come up with a new name for it,” Hiccup suggested
