“The hunter did not hate the wolf. The wolf did not hate the sheep. But violence felt inevitable between them. Perhaps, I thought, this was the way of the world.”

my least favourite thing ever is when animated characters and fantasy characters never change clothes!!!!!! come here you babies let me design you new wardrobes, outfit design is what I’m all about

Hiccup eating ‘peacefully and innocently’.

She managed to escape with Toothless, with Hookfang being captured again.

Stayed until sundown in their quarry, hoping that Astrid would get out of the village and tell her what happened after she left, but no luck - Astrid and others were confined to their homes while adults were discussing what to do.

Left afterwards with her basket of stuff (she left it in quarry just in case) and went to the dragon's island. In my au, Hiccup told Astrid that if something happens in the arena or she chikens out and leaves before the exam, Astrid should tell Stoic about the nest and that they shouldn't go there after a couple days.

Astrid did tell adults about that, and then, when everybody started prepping for a raid, went and gathered all of the teens to tell them the truth about Hiccup - she was the one to show taming to them ( Stoic took Meatlug as the safest dragon to manage, and Fishlegs had to fly with Snotlout <33)

Afterwards the fight goes as in canon, just with Fishlegs going to rescue the grommel first (he is a strong boi, he would be able to break her chains)
