Hello!! Listen i have GOT TO KNOW what the White Winter Hymnal AU is about???

like??

It looks amazing?? The art is GORGEOUS and i am foaming at the mouth for more information about the story behind it!! And i LOVE the song by the Fleet Foxes!

But yeah pretty much im obsessed and i'd like to know more about what im obsessed about. Hope you're having a wonderful timezone and take care! <3<3<3

Thank you so much for the ask and interest in Hymnal!! ☺️❤️ it’s a slow burn of an au that’s mostly based on vibes and drawing/writing them has been so cozy for me. Have a wonderful day/night as well!!

Gonna take the lazy route and post of screenshot of me summarizing it from a little earlier this week:

Aaaaand here’s a little snippet of how the forest Hymnal is set in feels:

The forest bordering the sturdy little hamlet of Berk was rich with wonder. This was known. The dark, twisting vines and roots of the wild ended shy of the ring of protective runestones, and if a vein was cut open, it seeped glittering green sap. When venturing past Berk’s protections — which should never be done alone — the sun-dappled ground of the forest was laden with moss and lichen, ethereally soft to the touch. On fortunate endeavors, gatherers returned with newborn lambs bundled in their arms, harvested like fruit from the branches of trees. However, as beautiful as it was, the wild threat the forest posed was ever present in the minds of Berk’s people. At night, lights twinkled from the depths, will o’ the wisps casting their lures. Bobcat yowls startled children from their slumber, mistaken for a human scream. The blinking eyes of wolves, reflecting torchlight, lurking between tree trunks. The forest was hungry and wanting and demanded to be satiated.

Every so often, it was.

Hiccup knew he worried his father, his friends, the farther he strayed from home, the longer he dared to be absent past sunset. How was he to tell them the once unnerving black eyes of birch trees were keeping careful vigil over him, that the bracken and tangled foliage gently parted for him instead of barred his path?

It was well known that to avoid losing ones way, a warrior must wear his tunic inside out, watch where he stepped for stray sods, and never trust trails of weathered cairns.

Hiccup had trouble recalling the last time he’d been lost.

Eventually when Hiccup is out exploring with Toothless he meets Jack, and the plot gets ✨homosexual✨

Something something something, Jack gets his head popped off and this short comic is the result

But wahoo everything turns out fine in the end!

And here’s Kai’s extremely lovely post-canon drawing of them recovered and happy 🥹

BARK BARK BARK BARK GGRERAAEERERR REN!!!!!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 😭❤️

THE LYRICS YOU CHOSE…. I love nature boy sooooo much 🥹

I’m gonna bawl, I adore how soft your style is, I am going to stare forever and ever at their wispy hair, how relaxed Jack is smiling, and the gentle way he’s keeping Hic’s hand to his neck because he TRUSTS HIM 😭😭❤️❤️

Thank you for this, I feel so honored and grateful you’d spend time on drawing something Hymnal related ❄️

the greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return

have been perpetually rotating @bignostalgias white winter hymnal hijack inside my mind palace like rotisserie chicken i adore this life-changing au to the core my bones and teeth ache badly from thinking about them <3

"Come home with me." "Love, I'm already home."

Happy anniversary to your White Winter Hymnal AU @bignostalgias!! Thank you for being an amazing inspiration and an even more amazing friend <3

#rbing again LOOK AT THEM

[bignostalgias]

i've opened commissions on my ko-fi!!

very happy to have my ko-fi page up and running again! feel free to peruse through it! sharing in any way is also greatly appreciated!

[bignostalgias]

Thank you so so much, I’m so honored and flattered you took the time to write something inspired by hymnal 🥹���️❤️❤️ (at 3 AM too oh my god??? Extremely powerful)

I love how winter is written here as both gentle and deadly, and the paragraph about the ribbon and Hiccup recognizing Jack by it is so nice!! Also “in his ears were questions like a humming lullaby, with the sound of the wind accompanying the melody”, paints such a cozy picture ❄️

Whatever dread Hiccup was harboring inside him vanished. Snow gathered at the edges of his vision as he leaned in to kiss Jack goodbye. He was in love — he was loved. He wanted to ask Jack if he could come with him this time. The fierce desire to step over the threshold of Berk with both Toothless and Jack by his side reared its head, but he swallowed it for now, content with the chilly pressure of Jack’s forehead against his. He was in love, he was loved, and he was struck with a deep certainty that he would do anything to keep that love in his life. He shivered from the gentle sensation of Jack’s claws tracing his cheekbone. He’d keep this. As long as Jack loved him. He’d keep this.

It’s not the exact anniversary, but last April I posted the first WWH drawing which led to me meeting the some of the loveliest people, making a genuine friendship, and rapidly developing my artistic style and writing voice. It’s so bizarre to think this crack crossover ship would mean so much to me in the last year but it did. What is in the water here. Anyway. Thank you for engaging with my work, it means the world!

Thank you for tagging me @alkalinefrog and @bignostalgias !

Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

I'll give you more than a sentence actually as an apology for being away for so long. I'll give you some snippets of the arranged marriage au that I've been working to turn into an actual multichapter fic from the drabbles/one-shots it is now 😉

Snippet #1

 “You would dare dishonour your wife’s words? Her promise to me?” Signy’s face is still, her voice a deadly calm as she stares the large Viking down.  “They should be given the chance to find love,” Stoick implores instead of fanning her quiet rage by answering.  “We are giving them that chance. They have already formed a great friendship, and there is no greater soil where love can grow.”

Snippet #2

“Take care of him for me will you?” Jack said as he pulled away from the hug with a grin. “I’d like him healthy and whole for our wedding.” “How whole could he be with a missing leg?” Astrid quipped sardonically. Jack laughed. “Fair point! I’ll trust you to keep him from losing any more limbs. You know how he is.” "I can hear you two, you know," Hiccup said flatly, joining them. "And I can keep my limbs attached just fine, thank you."

Snippet #3

“So, if you really think about it– under all that armour and tailored leather, he really is just the same scrawny runt you know and love. Fishbones and all.” Hiccup paused just before the clubhouse entrance, brows raised at the conversation that was most certainly about him. The fact that it came from Tuffnut’s mouth only smelled like trouble.  “Well, not really all the same. Cuz of the… you know…” By Thor, if they’re talking about his leg- “The leg.” Alright, that's it!

I'm tagging you. That's right, you, you reading this very sentence. Ily 😘

#HEHEHE I LOVE THESE #Astrid and jack bonding over dunking on hiccup >>>>>> #hijack

#IM SORRY

[bignostalgias]

it’s my first ever hardcover bind so i was prepared to make a lot of silly little mistakes and this one definitely does, but i love how it turned out still, i think she’s so cute .. i’m also just happy to finish a personal project that took up so much time to make 🥹

anyways, enjoy the pics and most importantly: stream otnwas on ao3 and youtube teehee🤞🏽❄️!

#prettiest thing I ever did see #this must be so satisfying to hold now that it’s done 🥹 #fic: otnwas

Let's blur the line

[bignostalgias]

Thanks for the tag @bignostalgias!

Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

Following suit from your post, I'm sharing the full bit:

Chapter 11 WIP from The Lights of Avalon

“For shows," said Jack, "special effects for theatre. I’m a bard, as you can see, what with the uniform and all.”

“Don’t bards usually have hats?” one of the guards remarked.

“Funny you should ask—I actually lost mine a few hours ago—”

“No, wait, Jack!” Fishlegs rummaged through his horse’s saddle, and sure enough, he pulled out Jack’s beaten up hat, the blue feather dripping with mud.

"I was wondering what this was!"

“Oh. Wonderful. Thank you.”

“Why are you frowning?”

That's the best part of fic, don't worry about reading the rest.

I'm not sure who's already been tagged so @sboochi @seafoamdew @jjackfrost @twiafom @santathegrey and anyone else who wants in feel free! (No pressure of course!)

[bignostalgias]

Thank you for the tag @theepsizet !!!! ☺️✨

Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

It felt unsubstantial to post only a sentence lmao so here’s a wee bit more than that:

Translations Chapter 3 WIP

Believe me. Jack wouldn’t believe himself, drenched and shaking as he was, but he needed Hiksti to. He couldn’t let him worry.

Hiksti began speaking again, more slowly and less frantic, and Jack focused on the words breezing past his right ear, ruffling his hair. Winter, cold, fear, dream. A sigh. Hiksti unfurled from him then, and Jack’s entire front chilled with his absence. He kept one hand on Jack’s bicep. For reassurance — whether for Jack, or for himself — it didn’t matter. Jack was just glad it was there.

Hiksti led him out of the water.

Tagging @alkalinefrog @jjackfrost @spacenintendogs @vindikaetion @imdeadtiredtm @seafoamdew and anyone else who’s interested if y’all feel like it!! ❄️💙
