(putting this under keep reading because it's kinda long for a silly post)

OHHHH OKAY THIS SOUNDS LIKE FUN

Hiccup: Hiccup tries to keep his birthday a quieter affair, but at any given point in time he is the chief or the chief’s son, and that’s not really an option. Add onto that the fact that he has five best friends, Gobber, and Stoick or Valka who are always excited to do something for it, he doesn’t get to gloss over it. They all pull together each year to give him some sort of present, and they throw a huge party on Berk (where he receives a lot of food and gifts from the villagers.

Astrid: She also likes to keep her birthday a little quieter. She tries to get some time to herself for a ride with Stormfly or to train. But eventually she comes back to the gang in the late afternoon/evening and they have drinks around a fire somewhere and they give her a gift.

Snotlout: Everyone knows his birthday is coming weeks before, and he makes a HUGE deal of it when it actually comes around. He’s just showing off and making a big deal about himself all day and he uses it to get his way whenever he can. He’s very full of himself all day, really, but after his RTTE development, it’s a little more of a part he’s jokingly playing, he’s more self aware than he was before. Still a pain in the butt though lol.

Fishlegs: He gets a little awkward receiving presents. What he really wants is a quiet day he can spend meditating, reading, or gardening. He loves spending time with the gang, though, and they try to do that kinda stuff with him. They’re not all very good at it, and it normally descends into chaos, but it means a lot to him that they try and he’s just happy to be spending time with them. Ruff & Tuff: Unlike everyone else, we actually see an episode on the twins’ birthday. (Late RTTE, it’s the Thorston Trials episode. I don’t actually remember the name of the episode, but Gruffnut is there) Based on that, they make a big deal out of it, and they organize a big celebration, and they walk around talking in weird fancy voices the whole time. They have so much fun, and they definitely use their birthdays to get stuff like Snotlout. (Like if they want someone to get up and get something for them bc they’re comfortable or smth and the gang is like no they’re like ??? on our birthday??? do you even care about us?)

Gobber: Pre-HTTYD 2, he and Stoick would have drinks in the evenings, the gang would get him a present and Hiccup would try and handle more chores around the shop to get him some more time to relax. After HTTYD 2, everything looks basically the same, except he’s having drinks with Valka, Eret, and the gang. His birthday is one of the days where he misses Stoick the most, and they go out of there way to distract him and spend lots of time with him.

(I really hope you guys enjoy these bc I know I do)

Hiccup - He loves rollercoasters. He didn't when he was little, but as he got older he enjoyed them more

Astrid - Seeks out the most intense rollercoasters just to prove that she isn't affected by rollercoasters whatsoever

Snotlout - Insists that he isn't scared but then he screams the whole time and throws up when he gets off (he tries to outdo Astrid but obviously he can't) (he's also the one who forces Fishlegs to get on)

Fishlegs - NEVER wants to get on but they manage to talk him into it somehow. He's a nervous wreck and he hates them. He's screaming right alongside Snotlout

Tuffnut - LOVES THEM he has so much fun, he's half the reason they get on them to begin with. He has so much fun on them

Ohh this is such a fun ask!

I've definitely got a couple that I really like

Fishlegs dabbles in painting as another way to relax and meditate. A lot of abstract art, it's mostly about the colors mixing together and the way the brush feels on the canvas, but sometimes he'll do paintings of Meatlug or other riders (he also really enjoys landscape paintings)

Astrid isn't very good at cooking or singing (as we've seen) but she clearly enjoys cooking for her friends and Hiccup loves it when he finds her quietly singing as she works on something and he eats everything she makes (poor hiccup lol)

They rotate cooking nights, and Snotlout and Tuffnut are actually surprisingly good at cooking (not as good as Heather though)

Sometimes they'll find their dragons all napping in a giant pile of claws and wings like seriously you can't tell where one dragon ends and the other begins (the only constant is that Hookfang is normally at the bottom/center and on fire)

It actually probably starts bc Hookfang is trying to relax and warm himself up and one by one the other dragons decide that that looks like a good place to sleep

It ruins a lot of saddles though

Ruffnut is VERY protective of Tuff, but by the end of RTTE she is actually just as defensive of everybody else

Which is why Ruff was the first one to crack and punch Spitelout once they went back to living on Berk

Ruff and Astrid braid each other's hair

When Astrid needs relationship advice about Hiccup and Hiccup needs advice about Astrid they go to Fishlegs and Snotlout respectively (Based on their interactions in Sandbusted)

Krogan has a pretty voracious appetite.

He's extremely food-motivated, and prone to being protective of his food in the case of someone coming near him when he's eating.

He will hiss and bite because he's had his food stolen on many occasions and that's how he tells people to fuck off and get away from his food. Especially if he worked for it.

Krogan is not usually one for public displays of affection, however when he does want affection, he gets really needy about it and will practically throw himself into his significant other's (or best friend's) arms so they can hold him.

Krogan likes sleeping on his friends/signifigant others chests because he finds the sound of a heartbeat soothing, and he suffers from insomnia, so the fact that listening to someone's hearbeat will put him to sleep is very helpful. (for multiple reasons)

Krogan has autisim, and adhd, but he's just inncredibly good at masking his needs to stim, and his overstimulation points. Anyone who'll not get angry with him for stimming makes a friend in his book. (one of his favorite stims when he's exited or happy is head bobbing and bouncing one of his legs if he's sitting down.)

In the fact that he is autistic, most of Krogan's social skills are simply copied from watching other people interact with other people, because he was never exactly interacted with during his childhood due to Drago.

Krogan is very intelligent, and is very willing to learn, if someone would just sit down and work with him on learning something. (It's one of the reasons why he's such an able-bodied warrior; that was the main thing he was taught to do, with the unfortunate downside that with his anxiety, he's not very confident about learning new things if he doesn't get it right on the first try.)

krogan loves anything that is sweet or sugary, and a good way to get on his good side is with food, or shiny objects. (he is like a crow; he likes to collect shiny things.)
