Dream SMP is officially over. And weirdly enough, I’m not crying about it. On the contrary, I have the stupidest grin on my face.
God what an experience. No words can describe the craziness of it all. It was wild. And in a good way.
I started watching Dream SMP with BlueberryTV’s edited videos on YouTube, but the moment it really ticked for me, the moment that made me love it was the first Disc War. Seeing TommyInnit and Tubbo hunting Tommy’s discs, fighting Dream, Tommy doing this INSANE block clutch, that’s when I thought “Fuck, this is what everyone’s freaking out about!”. And I started to love it more and more.
Then there was L’Manberg, and GOD this whole arc was one of my favorites with the Exile. This is when I started loving the lore but also the content creators and their characters. This is when I started loving TommyInnit’s content, and now he’s my favorite YouTuber!
This server changed my life. I met people through it that I now consider my best friends, and I have some of the best memories of my life with them.
Dream SMP helped me get through what was probably the hardest part of my teenage years, as 2021 (the year I started watching) was the year I started high school, and I also went through a lot of personal issues that were, honestly, very shit.
I love this server to bits. I loved every single part of it and if I were to do it all again I wouldn’t change a single thing.
Thank you so much to all the fanartists and animators that inspired me and pushed me to become better at my art, and to want to be an animator even more.
Thank you so much to the fanfiction writers who made me cry, laugh, who put a smile on my face with their godly written fics that made me stay up ridiculously late at night just to finish a chapter because the story was just so good.
Thank you Minecraft for just being an amazing game in general.
Thank you so much to all the content creators who put their heart and soul into making the best, most down-to-earth, funniest Minecraft roleplay I have ever seen.
Thank you Tommy, Wilbur, Quackity, Tubbo, Technoblade, Ranboo, Dream, Awesamdude, Eret, Niki, Karl Jacobs, Badboyhalo and everyone else for creating the most amazing stories ever. My hands are literally shaking I can’t write everybody’s name.
Thank you, Dream SMP. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for the tears. Thank you for the memories I will always cherish. Thank you for the indescribable joy you gave me.
Thank you for everything.
It was meant to be.

never seen you talk about it, but I might’ve missed it. so uh any thoughts on c!eret at the red banquet? I miss her dearly
One of my favorite underrated moments, possibly in the whole server, is when c!Eret was about to be executed and calls the eggpire monsters for betraying everyone's trust. c!Ponk responds 'Okay Eret, you wanna talk about trust.' Obviously referencing the final control room, and c!Eret responds that 'he knew better now not to betray people's trust'. And I just find that fascinating because c!Ponk wasn't involved in the final control room. Yes his lemon tree technically kick-started the lore but he really didn't have anything to do with the revolution arc. And we got him making a snarky comment at c!Eret! I really like hearing characters within universe, react to other characters decisions and bring up their pasts especially characters who don't really interact that often, which the red banquet was kind of the end of the Dream SMP server getting together and having characters who weren't necessarily 'important' to that plot point, show up and interact in what felt like a natural way. (barring the prison break) For a story that became so focused on history, and how our choices impact how other people view us, I feel like that just didn't happen as much as it could have. Or should have, in my opinion.

One of the most annoying things in fandoms is people who dont tag properly on here
Like i have a tubbo pfp so im gonna use qsmp/dsmp as an examplw
If i make a post saying, "Foolish is my favorite qsmp streamer," i'd tag foolish sure,
but some people would tag quackity, willbur, fit, bbh wtf do they have to do with the post?
Or if i make a post saying "tubbo is my favourite dsmp streamer", i'd tag Tubbo
But others would tag gnf,sapnap, tommy, Eret
But like wtf do any of them have to do with the post?
A good rule of thumb is this, read your post, look at your tags, for every tag you should be able to point to a section of the post where you mention it

Lost Ones Halloween
I managed my brain to write something! They're more like headcanons of what the Lost Ones (With some special guests) would dress as for Halloween. It's just some cute shit for you guys. K! BYE!
-----
Tommy
(F/L) would dress up just like Tommy in his suit, calling herself Little Trusty and try to trick people into giving her more candy. Tommy would be very proud.
Wilbur
Star would still dress in her L'Manberg uniform but she'd care around a book with Declaration of Indepdance printed on the front and a guitar on her back. Wilbur would be honored by his little girl and make sure she'd get plenty of treats.
Technoblade
Little Blade would dress as Athena (her favorite goddess). Techno would praise her choice and take her out. Though he wasn't really welcomed in the countries, no one was willing to tell him no when he'd lead his little girl in with an axe on his shoulder.
Philza
Phil would be surprised by Angel's choice as she'd be dressed as his goddess. (Techno giving her no influence or help whatsoever. Nope!) Though he'd smile widely at the choice and defend her choice as they went out. He was sure Kristen loved it just as much as him.
Ghostbur
Blue would wear a blue sheep costume and Ghostbur would not stop squealing with joy as he looked at his little girl. It was just perfect and adorable! Her cuteness didn't affect just him either and she most certainly got the best and most treats. (Which she split with Tommy).
Eret
She was already a princess! She wanted to be something different, so instead she put on a cape and crown, calling herself a king instead. Eret would grin and promise she'd make the best king one day. She most certainly felt like a king with the amount of treats she got.
Dream
She was a bit embarrassed with her costume as Dream managed to make time to be there for her. He would stand shocked as she was in a perfect outfit making her look like him. Eventually, he'd tell her he loved it before even giving her a sword to match his as well. No one would dare give less than what she deserved.
Tubbo
Lamb would dress as a bee. Tubbo would keep her on his shoulders all night, letting her "fly around" as they went out trick or treating.
Ranboo
Boo would dress as an enderman. To help her complete her perfect outfit, Ranboo let her have some ender pearls but had her swear to not throw them too far from him. She had fun the entire night and when she accidentally break his rule, Ranboo didn't have the heart to scold her.
Fundy
Kit and Fundy had the perfect plan for mischief! She dressed up as a baby zombie and scared people the entire night, while also making sure to score plenty of treats. (It's alright if a few were someone else's)
Quackity
Duckling dressed as well as duck! Quackity would be unsure about the costume at first but she looked too adorable to say no to. He could never say no to her.
Schlatt
Ram hadn't really planned on going out, but when Schlatt took her out to get an outfit to go out the day before, she was thrilled and knew exactly what she wanted to be. When she came out in a suit, Schlatt was confused until she said she was dressed as the best president, him. Damn it! She had to stop making him feel soft!
Awesamdude
Creeper had thought about dressing as a creeper but thought of one better. She dressed as a prison guard and when Sam would ask her why, she told him so she could go to work with him instead since he was going to work that night. He had planned on letting Sam Nook take her, but, he could afford one night off instead.
Foolish
Pup would dress as a shark. Foolish would absolutely love it and if she didn't get nearly enough as he thought she deserved, he'd make sure she'd get it.

I think it's interesting to contrast hbomb with every other relationship fundy has because like. Wilbur went from being infantilizing to cold and distant. Niki views him as a corrupt traitor. Eret means well but is flaky. Schlatt shows him pride and suspicion in the same conversation. Fundy is stuck in all of these distant relationships where he can't get much affection or affirmation out of them. And at the same time he's been thrust from being treated as a child to being treated as an important politician and it feels good but he also has no idea where he's going and the hunger for autonomy and power has been quenched like a thirsty person getting thrown in the ocean.
And then you have hbomb, and she is just this radiant ball of intimacy and affection and horniness and she just fucking follows him. wherever he goes. And she keeps coming back after they've done their work. And she's just so warm and permanent and genuinely interested and determined to be near him. And on the other hand he literally cannot get a leg up on her. She literally starts out as a paid servant so he can't be not above her status wise but she just doesn't flinch at his attempts at intimidation or insults. So he's just left with this grounding force that he can't claw his way past who seems to unconditionally want him and I think he kind of needed someone like that
sorry if this is unintelligible
This is not unintelligible I just had to spend a bit ripping up my pillow about it. FUCKKKKKKKKK oh my god. He thinks he’s better than her and she knows clearer than anyone that he’s not. For how strange and loud their relationship is it’s actually one of the more stable and consistent things both can hold onto. Even compared to other people H torments Fundy seems to be the one that takes it the best, he plays around with H and they’re able to lose their minds giggling together outside of the personas they’ve shaped for their relationship. H is sort of mean and a huge tease and smug and often acts overly emotional just to fuck with people and Fundy is the exact same way it’s so funny. In spite of it all H is there consistently and tries to find ways to give him what he needs while also twisting the situation to minimize harm it’s insane. It’s NUTS. Sorry. I’m. Yeah
H above everyone else seems to recognize him as a person, he doesn’t place any amount of over importance on fundy nor does he baby the guy. Even if fundy thrashes and screams about it I do think that’s what he needs, to be looked at and respected at least in some fucked up form. Still my favorite part of their canon relationship is the community house stream, where fundy has to prove H is important to him so that she’ll stay around and help. I think about it constantly

4, 7, 14?
4. What’s your favourite c!Dream scene?
This is such a hard choice, because there are so many good ones. And favorite in terms of what? How heartbreaking it is? How much it excites me? How much it says about the character?
The scenes that make me downright giddy whenever I rewatch them even now are his talk with c!Eret before dethronement, the Spirit Speech and what preceded it, the fight before the Staged Finale, and c!Dream killing c!Sam. He is just so fucking cool man. I love seeing him go full villain mode.
Buuuut I think I have to go for the Finale. The Final Finale. c!Dream's silence at someone finally understanding him, his lack of a response to c!Punz trying to intervene, how quick he is to abandon everything once given the chance... It just breaks my little heart.
7. Which character do you think is the most similar to c!Dream?
Following the words of cc!Dream himself - c!Technoblade.
They both have strong ideas about how the world should be, and are willing to achieve that vision with their own blood and sweat. Though obviously their methodology and personalities are quite different, in terms of motive, I'd say they are quite alike. I'd say even in terms of some of their themes they are similar.
14. What’s your favourite c!Dream line of dialogue?
In terms of peak blorbiness: "I want people to do the right thing, but I don’t wanna control people."
In terms of pure hilarity: "It’s not a tyrant. I am a humanitarian if anything."

I always find it weird how people essentially handle Krogan and Eret as
“Oh Eret joined the dragon riders so he he’s good now!” And “Krogan never joined the dragon riders so he’s objectively evil and we should hate him.”
When in reality with the situation about Drago and whatnot, both Eret AND Krogan were in an abusive situation with Drago, and Krogan, was most likely in that situation far longer than Eret was anyways. Krogan was called “Drago’s Star Pupil” by VIGGO HIMSELF. (You know, everyone’s favorite villain.) and it leaves enough to state that Krogan was most likely a literal child when Drago got his hands on him.
The other things that I will point out is that if this is true, from what I remember, Drago is 55ish in httyd 2, and essentially that could hint at the fact that Krogan has been with Drago since Krogan was around five, which would make Drago 35.
My point is that, despite the fact that we’ve actively seen Krogan doing bad things, a lot of his actions can essentially and very easily be boiled down to just following orders, and the fear of being hurt by Drago. Eret clearly has PTSD (thanks @rodimus75leek for pointing that one out Btw) but if Eret has PTSD from Drago, then so does Krogan, especially since Krogan has suffered from twenty years worth of abuse from Drago.
The reason why Krogan NEVER thought to abandon Drago was because he most likely had Stockholm Syndrome, and/or he thought that he was desreving of the horrendous treatment that he was most likely subjected to at a young age because he thought it was normal for someone “Like Him” to be treated as nothing more than a tool.
Krogan’s behavior, underneath this thought process, is also completely understandable because that is how the human mind works. If faced with stress or threats, the human mind will force itself to DO AS TOLD, because like any animal, the survival of itself is far more important than the individual’s moral code. And this is a proven theory.
The fact that this is also a very complex thing, that can be scurried down to whatever is that whenever people are making jabs at Krogan, and then proceed to hold Viggo Grimborn up on a pedestal like he is better than Krogan in any way is also disgusting. Viggo isn’t better than Krogan. He’s worse, objectively.
No matter how you put it, pre redemption arc Viggo is not a sympathetic character. While he may have had trauma in his past, Viggo committed war crimes that broke the Geneva Convention on several occasions, such as going after civilians that were not involved in a war he was fighting, simply because they were allied with his current enemy.
Pre-Redemption arc Viggo Grimborn’s sole intention for dragon hunting, was for the money. He said it himself. He is not a monster, he is a businessman. He doesn’t see the things he’s doing out of pure greed as evil because at the end of the day, he was essentially the How to Train Your Dragon version of Elon Musk. A multibillionaire dragon hunting CEO who only cares about profits.
Going back to Krogan, the worst things he’s done on screen is the singetail breeding program (which you know, happens all the time with people breeding dogs irl), and the fact that Krogan killed someone on screen. Which guess what? VIGGO DID THAT TOO.
Calling Krogan evil, simply because he never reached out for help or sided with the dragon riders, is gross. It is victim blaming.

Tag Game: Shock Your Followers
Saw someone else do this and it looks like fun! Share 10 things about yourself that would shock your followers
Tumblr media
I do not drink any caffeine! Coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks - nothing. Water and milk only
My hair is down to my bottom, but only half of it. The other side of my head is shaved clean
I crashed and totalled my car only 2 weeks after getting my license 😭 taught me a very serious lesson and I only drive when absolutely necessary now
Burger King's "Bacon King" is the best fast food hamburger of all time and I will fistfight people over this opinion
I hate beans of any kind. Lima beans, green beans, navy beans, refried beans, chili, edemame, even peas. Nasty shit
I'm goth! I wear all black 95% of the time, skulls and bats everywhere, listen to Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, etc
While I'm pretty out of practice since the pandemic, I'm a classically trained violist and violinist
The first fanfic I ever wrote, I was 13 and I had just watched How To Train You Dragon 2. It was Tuffnut x Eret, a rare pairing that has I think 10 total fics on ao3. I never actually published it and I never will
I used to raise goats, chickens, and rabbits on my family's backwoods homestead (we also grew all our own food). One of the goats ate my favorite dress :(

VidCon 2022 - Featured Creator Hour: Dream SMP
“What’s your favorite thing about being a streamer?”
(Transcript below cut)
Eret: One of my favorite parts of streaming is, of course, the community, but...
(Crowd cheers)
Jack: Don’t believe ‘em. They’re sucking up to you.
Eret: More specifically, I absolutely adore the fanart which comes from the community. It is so creative, um, you get to see your character, how you visualize it in your mind, doing so many really cool things and it’s absolutely phenomenal, the sheer amounts of fanart that comes out of this community, so thank you.
Connor: Yeah, I mean, for me, what I love about streaming is, there’s just a rhythm when I’m having a good stream where like, I see the chat reacting well and the whole reason I do it is I like to make people laugh, I like to make people have a good time. And to see that spread online is really cool, because when I was in high school and dealt with a lot of stuff that kept me inside, not at school and stuff, uh, that was where I escaped to, was Twitch and YouTube, stuff like that. And so to see uh, stuff that I do bring that to other people is really, really cool.
Hannah: I think my favorite thing is definitely planning like, fun streams with you guys... I like streaming with you guys, it’s so fun, um, stuff with friends, like, not even on just the Dream SMP but like, Jackbox streams or Bedwars, or y’know, things like that. I love that, so...
Purpled: Yeah, I think the best part of streaming like, I mean, obviously I’ve gotten into the rhythm where, um... When I first started Twitch, I was already on YouTube for a bit but when I started Twitch, um, that was pretty much right when I joined the Dream SMP, and that was my rhythm for a while, but over the last, y’know, however long... Year or two, I’ve kind of found my own rhythm, and then from there, I do my regular thing, and then... Like you said, like those streams where just like, the unexpected... Like, I remember one time, you were like playing Fortnite and Tubbo joined out of nowhere.
Tubbo: Yeah.
Purpled: Just like, stuff like that, where we’re just hanging out, we’re literally just friends playing games or friends hanging out... Um, it makes you forget you’re even streaming, and then everyone else... If you’re just having fun with your friends, everyone else is having fun watching it, you know?
Tommy: I’m gonna be a bit serious. I’m gonna answer on behalf of Wilbur. Wilbur’s favorite bit of streaming is streaming with me. He told me. I’m sort of like your hero in many ways. Uh... He can... You can answer on behalf of me.
Wilbur: I hate you.
Philza: My favorite thing about streaming is probably just being able to hit “start streaming”, like, the “go live” button, and then immediately make people’s day like, better. And that, that’s why I always try to have the schedule, so I’m just always there at that time.
Tubbo: My favorite thing about streaming is probably... I like, really like looking at the individual chat messages, because it feels very special to me to see that people have taken time out of their day to send a single message, like... Because behind every message is a person. You can imagine someone either typing on a phone or a keyboard, and that just blows my mind completely.
Puffy: Mine’s somewhat similar to Philza’s... It’s like, when I go live and I see regulars in the chat every single day, it’s like having a consistent group of friends, and also, I mean, getting the chance to meet all of you. I mean, you guys have been so wonderful and some of you have become lifelong friends, so I’m just very thankful for all of you guys, and the opportunity. And I’ve been doing it now for like... Ten years? Since 2011?
Jack: You’ve been doing it for a long time.
Connor: I wanna add on to that too, that what’s really cool about all this is that everybody really is friends, the entire server. And when it comes to streaming especially, I think when you’re just a YouTuber, you can kind of manipulate how you’re viewed, but streaming is very much like... It’s hard to fake like, being a cool person, or like, a likeable person. And so, what you see is what you get with most people, um, and that’s something I’ve noticed around all of Twitch and streaming but especially here with these people.
Boomer: I think the thing that I like the most about streaming is probably all the messages that I get about people finding out who they are, about themselves, or just finding out who they are in general. Uh, people like coming out in my chat, or just being a part of the community in general just means a lot to me, and that’s probably one of my very favorite things about it, is just helping people out like that.
Seapeekay: Uh, yeah, I think for me... Especially streaming and the Dream SMP side... I went from being like, someone who watched the Dream SMP lore streams, to someone who now gets to be in some of them, which is very cool. And also, he’s not here, but I get on so well with Ponk, like... So, uh, the big thing is me and Ponk stream at really similar times, but he would like essentially exclusively stream the Dream SMP, so... Now... I can actually play games with my friends! So it’s so cool!
Jack: It’s... It’s amazing to have a... Every single day, I can wake up and I have full creative freedom over whatever I choose to do that day, uh, and people sit there and enjoy it, and it’s so nice to do stuff and people enjoy it just because it’s you. Like, people come to see you, and it’s so rewarding and it makes you feel so valued, um, just seeing people show up to the most obscure stuff. Like, if I do an obscure stream and people show up, that’s more rewarding than like, anything else, so... It really is something I’m greatful for.

ok sorry but I HAVE too rant about your Eret design- ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM FOR THE PAST TEN MINUTES IVE BEEN SCROLLING ON TUMBLR😭
I LOVE THE PEACOCK THING IT FITS SO WELL! FUCKING. ROYALTY.
Also your use of colors is so 🫶🫶🫶🫶
🦚 I love peacocks they’re actually one of my favorite birds plus the peacock design for Eret is so unique it’s just jdhekdhjwjs ❤️
actually going feral over her. They’re so pretty I love them sm. holy shit I’m so sorry about this
Good day my fellow block people enjoyer🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH UAGHH <333
i believed 100% that the peacock just fit eret in every single way. i always like to think c!eret loves showing himself off, even in the most grandiose ways possible. graceful, elegant, and very pretty, which is exactly how i saw peacocks as too :)
fun fact!! i was about to make eret into a flamingo (if i'm not wrong, i believe that's their favorite bird?), but then my eyes landed on the peacock and thought it was *even* better.
ngl i was debating between peacock, swan, or flamingo, but inevitably the peacock won. im super happy that you love peacock eret <3

Pretentious Coffee, Chapter 5
In reality, Astrid knew very little about Hiccup. She didn’t know his last name, where he was from, how old he was, nor something as mundane as his favorite color. He was a stranger, and Astrid had a natural disinclination toward the different and unfamiliar. Her life had always been perfectionism, tradition, and obtainable expectations.
In the wake of her breakup, it became distressingly clear how little joy all of that brought her.
Hiccup represented change. He was a departure from her structured life of top grades and—until just recently—a steady, stagnant relationship. The only competition between the two of them was the clashing of wit, opposed to a passive-aggressive battle for innate superiority.
Other than that, Hiccup was a complete mystery to be unraveled—a thick novel with an exciting back cover summary. He was a distraction from her misery, until two-timing ex-lovers united them by a common pile of absolute crap.
She hated Eret even more for it—for reaching into the private daydream she had set aside for herself, tainting it.
“This isn’t how I imagined this would go,” Eret said, rubbing the back of his neck.
Astrid shared the sentiment. She thought the next time she spoke to him would be one-on-one, where she could tear him apart. Likely, it would have escalated to a shouting match, but that would have been enough to give her closure and end things on mutual loathing; her pride would be bandaged with contempt.
“Why is this so strange? Is this too straight-forward and decent for you?” Hiccup asked, and Astrid found herself inching closer to him.
“Look, Hiccup,” Eret sighed, “it was never about you. Or Astrid. What happened between Heather and I—it wasn’t intentional.”
“Neither is, say…vehicular manslaughter, but that doesn’t make it okay, does it?”
Astrid nearly choked on a mouthful of beer. She turned away quickly to cough and stifle a rather poorly timed laugh. Hiccup caught her eye and there was the hint of a smirk on his face. She flashed him a smile Eret couldn’t see.
“It’s not like this came out of nowhere,” Heather finally spoke up.
“Right. You asked for space and I gave it to you. How thoughtless of me,” Hiccup muttered, taking a long sip of beer. “Or was I supposed to inherently know that ‘I need some space’ actually meant you wanted to be pursued?”
“Headgames, huh? Well, you know all about those, don’t you?” Astrid asked, rounding on Eret.
“So, you didn’t even bother to read my texts,” he accused.
“Would they have contained some new revelation?”
Eret fell quiet, brow furrowing into a solid line. Astrid stared back at him unwavering.
There they were, mirror images. Both too much alike to back down. Cut from the same cloth, they were both too headstrong to last. Neither one wanted to lose—to be the one left limping way from their failed relationship with their proverbial tail between their legs.
“Let’s go,” Heather murmured, gently tugging on his arm. “I like the fire pit better, anyway.”
Eret shot Astrid one last lingering glance meant to wither her, but she did not balk. They were both proud, and so things remained unsettled still. There was more that needed to be said before their relationship could be declared legally deceased. Astrid had a whole glossary of creative insults and curse words she had yet to throw in his face and it would be such a shame if it were to go unheard.
Eret and Heather slipped back outside leaving Hiccup and Astrid in a resounding silence that the even stereo’s bass beats couldn’t penetrate.
It was only them in the tiny space, with their beer and regrets. They wouldn’t look at each other, though their history and embarrassment had become inextricably linked.
“So, that was awkward,” Hiccup commented.
Astrid could appreciate his attempt to lighten the mood.
“Heather is—was your…?”
“Yeah. I didn’t realize Eret screwed somebody over as well. He seems like a decent guy…except for the whole, y’know, falling for other people’s girlfriends thing.”
Astrid nodded. She rotated her bottle in her hands, admiring the label.
“Looks like you and I are connected,” she said.
Hiccup smiled wryly. “By heartache and bad coffee.”
“Passable coffee,” Astrid amended.
Hiccup laughed and it warmed Astrid’s toes again. She couldn’t help noticing the way his green eyes lit up like the absurd marijuana leaf atop the Christmas tree, and the way his freckles consolidated as his face contorted with mirth. She smirked, hiding it in her drink as she considered him through her lashes.
In light of their similar circumstances, she found him more appealing. True, he was no longer separate from her problems with Eret, but Hiccup understood where she was at. He could relate, and he was still so intriguing in addition to it all.
He replied, “I’m afraid you don’t know what constitutes decent coffee.”
Astrid had to give him that. “No. I don’t.”
Another silence settled between them, but it was far less heavy.
“Are you leaving, then?” Hiccup asked.
Astrid cocked her head to the side and wondered if his incessant talking was a compulsion.
“To put some distance between the two of you,” he gestured vaguely toward the backdoor, and Astrid understood to whom he referred.
“No. I’m not running away this time,” she huffed. “He can stand out there and stew in it for all I care. Best thing I can do is enjoy myself.”
“Mmm, because you were just so successful at that before I waltzed over here.”
Astrid rolled her eyes and reached out to swat him in the shoulder. He flinched but chuckled.
“Fine. Parties aren’t really my thing,” she admitted, “but I don’t want him to gloat, thinking he ran me off.”
Hiccup’s grin broadened, and though his sarcastic quips tested her claims and her patience, there was no judgment in them. He was enjoying himself, engaging her on intellect, drawn in by her brain.
“Yes,” he sad. “Staying at a party you hate just to rub it in Eret’s face isn’t vindictive at all.”
She found their mental exercise equally stimulating. Never before had someone shown such fascination in her wit, provoking her purely for the fun of the banter.
She fired back, “You’d rather I leave then?”
His expression changed from cocky to startled. “No, no! No, I…I was just saying…”
But what he was supposedly ‘just saying’ was never defined. He gazed out of the kitchen window, sipping his beer with a red tint to his ears that could not be attributed to an overhead string of Christmas lights.
In their seemingly endless volley, Astrid had just scored a point.
She was smug, catching a glimpse of the first page of him, beneath his glossy cover with its snarky taglines.
“Anyway, this party hasn’t been all bad. Besides Ruffnut, though, I don’t really know anyone else here,” she told him, sizing him up as he stared elsewhere.
Those fitted black slacks were seared into her memory, even as she admired his loose, low-riding sweatpants. Heather was decidedly a fool.
Astrid’s eyes snapped back to his as he turned toward her again.
“You know me,” he replied.
She rolled her eyes. “You served me coffee and attitude once.”
“Well, I—“
“You implied I was privileged, too.”
She delighted in the way he grew flustered—the most un-composed she had seen him. She was slowly peeling back the layers of him, and each one was more endearing than the last, which wasn’t difficult when his outermost façade was one of an almost cynical apathy. There was an appeal to the two sides of him—the newer, more vulnerable side, and the persona he projected to give the impression Heather hadn’t crushed him.
Astrid could relate.
“A-haha,” he laughed dryly. “Uh, yeah. My humor can…sometimes leave much to be desired.” His eyes flickered pointedly to the back door. “Or so I’ve been told.”
Astrid scoffed. “Who cares what she thinks anymore?”
Hiccup quirked an eyebrow. “You seem awfully concerned with what Eret thinks.”
Astrid opened her mouth to refute him, but immediately snapped it closed. Any excuse would be a lie and he was far too clever to buy it. Flirting or teasing, whichever was more accurate, there was an honesty in their exchanges that she hadn’t enjoyed with anyone else.
Sarcastic, though he may be, Hiccup didn’t mislead. He hadn’t said anything meant to misrepresent himself; no bragging, no self-adulation. He didn’t try to woo her with flattery. There was not a single incidence she could recall where he had tried to impress her. Since he had first sassed her in that coffee shop, Astrid had the impression Hiccup was being nothing but honest in the parts of himself he had chosen to show her. It was masking an internal turmoil much like her own, but it was very much real to who he was.
She owed him nothing less in return.
“An old habit dies hard,” she retorted. “Although, I would say it’s less caring about what he thinks, and more trying to stay one step ahead of pettiness.”
“A strategy I can appreciate.” He tilted his drink forward and they clinked bottlenecks together.
Hiccup swallowed the last of his beer and strode to the recycle bin to toss the empty glass. Astrid couldn’t help watching him move. He was lanky, but with some detectable definition beneath his shirt.
She finished off the rest of her beer, feeling her pulse quicken before her brain could even catch up. But she knew—adding her bottle to the bin and brushing past him—that the gathering electricity in the air was a premonition of things that might be. She was standing on a precipice with him, but whether he be just polite or obtuse, Hiccup was not straightforward about his intentions. She was going to have to decide the turn of events, should he be so inclined…
He was not an alpha male—everything Astrid had previously believed she wanted. That old checklist was quickly fading like a piece of notebook paper left out in the rain.
It was not like her to pursue—to have to ask. It was intimidating to make herself open to rejection. That was not the norm in a predictable relationship that unfolded exactly how one would expect. Nothing about her interactions with Hiccup followed any of the rules or standards she otherwise lived and dated by.
But she needed that; she needed something extraordinary to propel her forward to explore the potentials of dating, of adulthood, and a liberated sexuality.
Hiccup was that kind of extraordinary. He wasn’t a guaranteed solution to her problems, but he would certainly unlock what came next, pulling her spinning wheels out of the mud.
It was intimidating, but also empowering. With him, she could take a chance.
“Well, I’m not going back out there, and you’re the only person worth talking to in here,” Astrid sighed, folding her arms across her chest.
She could feel her own heart racing like she had just ran a mile.
Hiccup smiled. “I’ll take that as a compliment rather than a lack of options.”
“Is there someplace more private we could move…this?” Astrid gestured between them, trying not to be too implicit.
It was all still open-ended. Hiccup had given her no indication either way.
Perhaps she was being unreasonable? Perhaps he wasn’t attracted to her in that sense? Perhaps she was reading too much into whatever chemistry she thought they had?
And for that reason, she wanted nothing explicitly stated, in part so she couldn’t be rejected.
Hiccup’s face did something peculiar, running through a range of emotions from taken aback, to curious, to contemplative. Nothing negative passed over his features. His shoulders slackened, head tilted to the side, trying to decode the riddle of her request.
“Sure,” he said, leaving the kitchen abruptly, and Astrid assumed she was meant to follow.
As she trailed him through the narrow hallway, she felt like molten lead was being pumped into her legs.
They were headed for his bedroom.
Her entire body felt hot with anxiety, excitement, and a knees-wobbling anticipation. She tried to remind herself a simple invitation to his bedroom did not necessarily mean anything—it was a small house where the only other private space was the bathroom, currently occupied by someone puking.
Still, she hoped it was a short hallway or Hiccup might turn to find her collapsed in the middle of it.
They took a sharp right leading to a single door that he held open for her.
“After you,” he said, and Astrid smiled, hoping her nerves didn’t twist it into something unhinged.
She stepped over the threshold, committed to chase Hiccup as far as she could down the rabbit hole.

writing pattern tag game!
post the first line of your last ten posted fics and see if there’s a pattern! thanks for the tag @ephhemeralite :)
i fucking love opening lines. easiest part by far ong. lets see how this goes
most recent chapter of gtau:
Tubbo has - a lot of shit he wants to do the second he’s well enough to stand on his own.
my superhero au where they’re all broke and transgender:
“Those are your pickles,” Mary tells Phil the moment they open the door that connects the stairwell to their floor.
the gtau interlude with the villain reveal:
While a realtor shows Phil around a dubiously haunted house, somewhere else, miles away, a man is about to die — but the man does not yet know this.
from last year’s exchange fic where las nevadas gains sentience:
The first emotion Las Nevadas feels is happiness.
one of my favorite short pieces i’ve ever written. eret and wilbur duke out their gender feelings at a piggly wiggly:
Eret drops a Monster energy drink, a lighter, a pack of bubblegum, and $8.50 in cash on the gas station counter.
tntduo horror one shot that DOES take up precious space in my brain constantly:
Here is a list of three important facts about the situation Wilbur Soot currently finds himself in, against his will and all his better judgement:
the funniest thing i’ve ever written, as voted unanimously by the people:
‘SMP High School Student Government Association Minutes’
gtau but the one where i finally give them a goddamn break:
Phil jolts awake, and the glowing numbers on the clock tell him it’s 2:35 in the morning.
and now we’re far enough back that it’s stuff from 2021, so i’m dangling lines from my wips tantalizingly over your head. fuck you, you can’t stop me, this is my blog and my rules.
i am not immune to the enemy to caretaker trope:
“Please,” he tries again. “I won’t fight back. Just - I’m ready, Jason, we can - we can switch places, one dead Robin for another, okay?” He can feel himself rambling, terrified and adrenaline-filled and tired. He’s so fucking tired.
different fic, same shtick:
He can’t breathe. The kid’s in a room with men who’ve, who’ve tortured him, and the thing he’s the most afraid of is - Hood. Is Jason.
thank you for ur attendance everyone i also nominate @b10000p bc fuck you tell me about your wips. update i actually just got an email so it’s probably you. good. omw to read that shit

In addition to my previous "top 5 ask" this is the attached space to gush and rant about how Ghostbur is your favorite of all. 😝 Go off. I want to hear it all.
EEEEEE OH MY GOSH
REALLY?
REALLY?
*squeals*
I am so happy right now I keep smiling oh my goodness-
OKAY SO!!!
Gosh where do I even start oh my gosh-
Ghostbur’s just… adorable. I don’t usually call fictional characters adorable, but Ghostbur IS HE REALLY IS!!! HERE WOULD YOU LIKE AN EXAMPLE!!!
youtube
HE TALKS IN A HIGH-PITCHED SCRATCHY VOICE AND WEARS A YELLOW SWEATER AND HIS BEST FRIEND IS A SHEEP NAMED FRIEND AND HE JUST OUGH OUGHHHH
Speaking of Friend!! Ghostbur being an animal lover is just… yes. He’s so sweet and kind and gentle to Friend and loves him dearly and takes him everywhere on a little leash, and he calls Friend his “comfort sheep” and Friend really does help calm Ghostbur down and aaaaaaah he’s like a therapy pet and it’s adorable 🥺
Ghostbur’s devotion!! To the people he loves!! Oh my gosh!! Like he literally followed Tommy to his death, and did everything he possibly could to help Tommy and make sure he was taken care of and felt loved; and the compasses!!! Aaaaaaah!!! Ghostbur gave Tommy a compass that pointed to Tommy’s best friend, and Ghostbur knew it would mean a lot to Tommy so he went through the painstaking process to make the compass and EEEEEEEEEE!!!
Oh! Exile! Can I talk about Exile? Yes, I shall.
Ghostbur was pretty much the only one who visited Tommy during Exile. The only one! And not only that, but Ghostbur stayed; he built Tommy a house, helped him make Exile a home (or as much of a home as it could be) and helped decorate and would take pictures of L’manburg and bring them back for Tommy to look at, and he helped with the beach party planning and happily offered to send invitations… like I feel like people don’t talk about this. Ghostbur helped Tommy a lot during Exile—so much so that Dream, the big bad guy of the server, saw Ghostbur as a threat and tried to kill him!!!
DREAM!!! THE BAD GUY!!! SAW GHOSTBUR AS A THREAT!!! WHY DON’T PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS?!!
Lots and lots of people see Ghostbur as a child, as immature, as silly or weird or pointless or something else, and while yes, Ghostbur does have very weird and very innocent and very child-like quirks, that is not his entire personality.
In actuality, Ghostbur is an incredibly cunning, smart, resourceful, thoughtful, deeply caring individual who thinks hard about things, and communicates himself in a wonderfully unique way! I really resonate with a lot of what Ghostbur says :)
So many people see Ghostbur as the “tee-hee silly ghost boy” and like… have they even watched his Doomsday stream?? Have. Have they even watched it?? Have they heard Ghostbur screaming at Phil??? Have they heard, “I know I’m forgetful, I know I’m an amnesiac, I know I’m the comic relief in all your stories but I still feel things, and I try my best to make sure no one else feels them” (said through tears, by the way)
HAVE THEY HEARD THAT??? HAVE THEY HEARD, “I sowed the seeds of peace, and yet I’m the one who pays for war”??? DID THEY HEAR ANY OF THAT???
Heck, even Phil, the one Ghostbur said all this to, merely said this: “I’m sorry. You’ll understand someday.”
LIKE WHAT THE HECK!!! STOP TREATING GHOSTBUR LIKE A CHILD AND ACTUALLY HEAR HIM OUT!!! COME ON PHIL, I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU!!!
Gosh. The misinterpretations of Ghostbur will never stop making me angry. Anyway.
Ghostbur also loooooves to read and has his own little library which yes :D :D
Ghostbur’s weird, man. He’s a strange guy. He’s dead. He burns in the rain. He loves sheep. He loves Tommy. He just OUGHHHHHABDKSBKSGSJSV
Ghostbur has such a unique personality + way of viewing the world, and I feel like this fandom really sleeps on that—which is a shame, because Ghostbur is a beautiful character!! There’s so much potential there!!
Also his determination to see the best in everyone, even if they’ve been deemed the bad guy; he saw goodness in Eret, he saw hope in Wilbur, he was even nice to Dream! He even was friends with Dream (which, he probably shouldn’t have been, because Dream did nothing but hurt him, but still wksdhwjsgwjg)!
One of my favorite quotes from Ghostbur is, “Maybe a villain is just a hero who hasn’t been convinced yet.”
LIKE !!!
Gosh. Gosh, man. I freaking love Ghostbur.

I feel like movie 3 Snotlout is overhated
Most people don't like the fact that he was "flirting" with Valka but I personally didn't interpret it as flirting at all. He's shown throughout the franchise to have a tendency of trying to impress people he looks up to or respects (we've seen this with Thor Bonecrusher, his father, Hiccup, Stoick on occasion, and Dagur) so I think it'd be perfectly in character for him to try and impress Valka because he just thinks she's cool. This also lines up with the deleted scene where Valka saves him after he gets his cape caught on a cage and the scene where she defeats Spitelout in arm wrestling. Nothing he said was inherently flirtatious either he even said "I'm like the son she always wanted"
Tumblr media
And then there's the "who died and made you chief" (which I personally found hilarious 💀) he didn't have any malicious intent or anything he just said it without thinking like a dumbass and you could argue that him being THAT dumb is out of character but yeah
His semi one-sided rivalry with Eret was one of my favorite things in the movie
Tumblr media
He's dripped out in this movie too so that's a reason to love him
