Autistic Hiccup x ADHD Anna Headcanons
SO I’ve been really into the whole Autistic x ADHD ship dynamic and Hiccanna...highkey fits??? Like y’all know I will die on my “Anna has ADHD” hill, but after reading this post by @hobie-brown I’m like wait, the autistic Hiccup headcanon is wonderful too??? And blends SO WELL with ADHD Anna??? And I absolutely HAD to explore it more so BOOM headcanon time! Another special thanks to @hobie-brown for writing the super lovely autistic Hiccup headcanon masterpost that inspired me to do this!
Disclaimer: I myself am not on the spectrum (part of the reason I’ve always felt a little weird about definitively HCing characters as autistic unless I see actual autistic people HC them that way too), so most of the stuff here is stuff I know secondhand from my autistic friends! I do have ADHD, so I can always promise that ADHD Anna will be 100% authentic XD
~Anna absolutely gets into Hiccup’s special interests to try and impress him. The most obvious one being, of course, dragons, but also dinosaurs (extinct dragons), lizards (tiny dragons), and Dungeons and Dragons (An RPG game that does, in fact, include dragons). Hiccup absolutely had that dragonology book as a kid and got obsessed with it beyond all reasonability. Hilariously, Anna’s wooing strategy of indulging his special interests works like a charm--mainly because a) he’s pretty flattered that someone takes THAT much of an interest in what he likes and b) half the time, ANNA finds that she genuinely gets into whatever said special interest is and finds them easy to hyperfixate on. It helps that the more she obsesses over it herself, the more she has to talk to Hiccup about XD
~Specifically, Anna definitely joins a DnD campaign at some point so that Hiccup will think she’s a “cool gamer girl”--and then gets unironically obsessed with it and starts writing 10-page backstories for all of her characters. She later tells Hiccup it started out as a ruse to win his heart via nerdiness, and he absolutely loses his shit laughing.
~One of their overlapping special interests/hyperfixations is high fantasy. Hiccup is, unsurprisingly, all about the mythical creatures while Anna is more into the magic and the zesty political drama, but you dun best believe they catch every CGI-ridden fantasy movie that ever comes out. They’ve both spent a literal fortune on fantasy movie tickets, even moreso on watching them in 3D or Imax. How embarrassing for both of them.
~Another less-obvious overlapping interest is history. Hiccup gets into it while looking into the cultural mythos of dragons (he’s pretty fascinated by the fact that so many cultures around the world thought up similar creatures independently), while Anna gets into it because she grew up cooped up bored and lonely in a big house, and entertained herself by looking into the history behind some of the family paintings. They don’t seem it at first, but they’re actually both huge medieval and ancient civilization history buffs.
~Hiccup is THE most touch-repulsed person you will ever meet. This is unfortunate, as he is also SUPER touch-starved and absolutely does not realize it (I mean, I’ve never gotten the vibe Stoic was the super huggy type, considering his and Hicc’s relationship in HTTYD 1). This means he has absolutely no fucking clue what to make of Anna when they first meet meet. Anna’s the sort of person to give physical affection pretty freely, especially if she likes you--usually in the form of hugs, arm pats or playful swats, putting her elbow on your shoulder, etc etc. Hiccup is kinda just like “this is way too much touching but like??? I kinda like having her this close to me??? What do???”
~Anna, meanwhile, notices that Hiccup kinda stiffens up whenever she touches him and seems to not be crazy about it and she’s just immediately like “yo what’s wrong???” And as SOON as he admits he’s not all that crazy about being touched randomly she’s like “OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY” and never touches him without asking again.
~As soon as she finds out touch a kind of A Whole Thing for him, Anna is like...AGGRESSIVELY respectful of Hiccup’s boundaries when it comes to physical affection. Almost annoyingly so. She gets in the habit of basically never initiating any kind of physical touch without asking first--even long after they’ve started dating, and he’s told her it’s okay to initiate touching as long as she’s not smothery about it. She still refuses out of principle.
~They come up with a kind of “consent language” so Anna can pretty quickly determine when it’s all right to touch Hiccup--because Anna still really likes being physically affectionate with him, and he does actually like receiving physical affection a lot of the time (because, again, touch-starved), he’s just choosy about who does it. They work out a system based off of small, light touches that Hiccup doesn’t mind where it’s basically 2 taps on his shoulder for “can I hug you around the neck,” 2 taps on his side for “can I hug you around the waist,” 2 taps on his arm for “can I grab/lightly slap/punch your arm,” and 1 tap on is shoulder for “can I put my arm/elbow on your shoulder.” If he’s cool with it he’ll either nod or just say “yeah go ahead.” It works a lot quicker than asking “can I do such-and-such specific touch” every single time, and allows Anna to keep some of her spontaneity. They develop this during their friendship and it ends up rolling over into their relationship, even after Hiccup has basically told her she doesn’t need to ask permission for a lot of these anymore. She adds a new one after they start dating--she taps him a couple times wherever she wants to kiss him to ask if it’s cool to give him a smooch! It usually is.
~INFODUMPING. Literally SO. MUCH. INFODUMPING. Hiccup absolutely WILL NOT SHUT UP when he gets to talking about one of his special interests. Anna just will not shut up in general, but when the topic changes to one of her hyperfixations, it’s even worse. If you try to have a conversation with these two while they’re infodumping, you WILL get talked over. Honestly, left to their own devices, they could probably infodump to each other for literal days on end.
~Despite how much they both like to infodump, they’re both pretty good about being patient and indulging the other when it’s their partner’s turn to infodump in the conversation XD They are, however, notorious about accidentally triggering a barely-related infodump in the other person. It’s not uncommon for one of them to finish a rant and then the other goes “OH THAT REMINDS ME” and sets off on a completely different, barely-related rant.
~Hiccup actually really appreciates how overexpressive--and occasionally overdramatic--Anna tends to be. He never has to try and figure out what she’s thinking because she just says everything in her brain, and her body language basically always matches how she’s feeling to a ridiculous extent, so he never has to give himself a headache trying to read her. The fact that she’s the opposite of subtle and has no filter whatsoever works great for him, because he doesn’t have to drive himself insane trying to understand her. He gets her better than he gets most people because she’s an open goddamn book. The boy’s never been the best with social cues at all, never mind the nuanced, obscure ones, so Anna’s general straightforwardness and utter inability to hide her true feelings at literally any time is a breath of fresh air. What you see is basically what you get, and Hiccup wouldn’t have it any other way.
~People think when Anna and Hiccup start dating it’s gonna be a disaster, mainly because he’s so blunt and she can be...”oversensitive” (i.e. has a REALLY bad case of RSD). Turns out they’re dead wrong--because Hiccup has RSD too! (I mean, come ON--look how BADLY he wants to get his village’s approval! And how hard he takes it when his dad or someone else is mad at him--even if he tries to hide it with snark) He’s actually one of the few people who can be blunt enough with Anna that she realizes when she’s being a dumbass but tactful enough not to hurt her feelings or set off her RSD--because god, has he been there. When Anna is being especially difficult and has worked herself into a real bad funk, Hiccup (and sometimes Elsa) is the only people who can talk to her and get through to her without getting blown up at.
~They stim in similar ways!!! They both tend to fidget or kinda bounce up in down in place as a way to comfort themselves and calm themselves down (I see them both having a lot of anxiety and generally being kind of paranoid, although Anna is MUCH better at hiding this via putting on a cheerful face). They both do the leg bounce!!! Also if they get SUPER excited they’ll do a little awkward happy dance!!! They both also tend to stim by rubbing things in small, repetitive motions--with Hiccup, it’s usually his sketching pens, his ear, his head, or the back of his neck, while with Anna, it’s usually her other hand, her arm, her clothes, or really anything with kind of a comforting, consistent texture (some favorites are rubber, felt, and velvet). After they start dating, they actually will stim with each other’s hands while holding hands--usually by squeezing the other person’s hand in kind of a repetitive pattern or doing the thumb-rub thing on the back of the other person’s hand. It’s not uncommon for them to each be doing something completely unrelated while holding hands and just stimming on each other’s hands the entire time. Anna especially really loves when she feels Hiccup stimming on her, because it’s her little indicator that he’s happy and feels at peace and content in her presence and she LOVES being able to do that for him!
~They both stim by playing with hair too! Anna likes to play with her own to stim--mainly by figeting with the end of her braids or tucking hair behind her ear. She DOES love to ruffle Hiccup’s hair too (and she LOVES how fluffy it is!), but it’s usually not a stim thing. After they start dating, Anna does occasionally stim by massaging Hiccup’s hair/scalp, but she doesn’t usually do it for very long. Hiccup really loves braiding Anna’s hair, or just playing with it when it’s down. it helps him relax and clear his mind to have something fairly repetitive and/or mindless to do.
~Even after gaining some confidence, Hiccup still has a fair bit of social anxiety, so he and Anna basically always go to parties and social events together and stick with each other the whole time to make it less intimidating for him. Hiccup generally prefers to let Anna do the talking when they chat with people, and sometimes if he’s REALLY nervous he’ll sometimes even let her kinda talk for him (not in a condescending “speaking over” kinda way, but more in like a “I can sense you’re not comfortable speaking here so I’ll help you out as best I can” kinda way). She always makes sure to leave space in the conversation for him to take over talking if he wants. She’s also incredibly prone to bragging about his accomplishments to basically everyone they know. Hiccup is both embarrassed and flattered by this.
~When Anna finds out about meltdowns (probably through Hiccup mentioning it kind of offhandedly--“Eh, sorry I went AWOL last night, I was having a bit of a meltdown. Don’t worry about it, I’m fine now.”) she lowkey gets super anxious and frustrated because she REALLY wants to help, but has no idea how. Cue literal HOURS of research on the internet and AGGRESSIVE memorizing of any and all tips that she reads that she thinks would help. Which, of course, means several MORE hours spent going over flashcards like she’s studying for a goddamn test, because Anna has never been known for her sharp, expansive memory.
~The first time Hiccup ever has a meltdown in front of her (maybe after a really bad phone fight with his dad or something? Just general sensory overload?), she takes him to a secluded room and IMMEDIATELY gets rid of anything that could be agitating sensory-wise. She dims the lights! She closes the blinds! She throws a nearby clock, an alarm, a timer, and several other objects with only the slightest potential of making an annoying noise out of a nearby window in a fit of passion! She goes on a frenzied quest to find Hiccup’s noise-cancelling headphones--and finishes it in record time! Even in a state of emotional turmoil, Hiccup realizes that Anna’s being just a little too methodical in how she goes about all this--these are the kind of things that wouldn’t ever occur naturally to her to do. So as soon as he calms down a bit and has screamed into a pillow for a while, he’s like “...did you go on the internet to look up how to help with meltdowns?” and Anna’s like “...yes?” And Hiccup is lowkey so touched he starts crying all over again...and then, naturally, makes a long string of snarky comments to try and distract from it XD
~For their anniversary Anna saves up a bunch and buys Hiccup a lizard and a terrarium!!! She gets him a crocodile skink because, I quote, “Well, they always look annoyed, they’re kinda shy, they don’t like to be touched, and they look like tiny dragons, so they reminded me of you!!!” Hiccup screams like a goddamn fangirl, he’s SO excited. As luck would have it, Hiccup’s crocodile skink is a lot less skittish and prone to hiding than they usually are, and he actually lets Hiccup pick him up and pet him without much issue. Which is honestly great, because repeatedly touching something smooth and even like lizard scales helps calm Hiccup down when he’s agitated and helps with some of his sensory issues.
~Probably goes without saying, but Hiccup basically NEVER genuinely gives Anna a hard time about her memory problems or how she’s not always the quickest on the uptake, and if anyone tries to call her annoying, dumb, or immature he will absolutely roast them into oblivion. He does sometimes like...lightly tease her about jumping into things without thinking or never shutting up, but he never pushes it if he can tell she’s genuinely bothered by it (and, again, Anna is very easy to read, so it’s not hard to tell XD)
~I’ve seen other people in the fandom HC either Hiccup, Anna, or both of them as BOTH autistic and ADHD, and honestly...fuck yes!!! I’m down for this too! I love the idea of these two disaster ND kids just vibing with each other on so many damn levels that it’s like...incomprehensible to the average human XD Like man, they fuckin GET each other!!! I’m pretty happy with most combinations of ADHD + Autistic headcanons for Anna and Hiccup, so long as they end up vibing!!!
~THEY JUST. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. SO MUCH. THEY LITERALLY WOULD DIE FOR EACH OTHER. I AM SURE OF IT. I’M CRYING.

Welcome to a mini rant where I share my opinion and you are very free to disagree and even start a conversation in the notes if you want :) this rant is about the dream smp- I would like to start off by saying that I am talking about their characters in the smp and not the actual youtubers, I am well aware this is just roleplay but it is a current hyperfixation of mine and I tend to over analyze and get very passionate about my hyperfixations. I usually just talk about this to individual people but this is on my mind again tonight since I still see a lot of people villainizing Tommy for “betraying” techno despite it being a while ago.
Here is why I put the word “betraying” in quotes:
-Tommy and Techno were never actually friends. Techno made it clear from the start of the team up that it was a “business partnership” and that he did not want to be Tommy’s friend, and Tommy agreed that they were not friends.
-Techno made it clear many times throughout the team up that he did not actually care for Tommy or his cause, brushing past mentions of the discs and repeatedly saying that he disliked Tommy or found him annoying as well as telling dream that he could take Tommy with him if he cashed in his favor when they ran into him. This, by the definition that people blaming Tommy rn are using, would’ve counted as a betrayal had dream chosen to use his favor. These are not things that friends do, they were only brushed over when they happened because it was repeated over and over that neither of them wanted to be friends, they were only working together because they knew they could help each other’s causes.
-Throughout their “business partnership” (Techno’s words) Techno did not even acknowledge Tommy’s goal to get his discs back beyond shrugging it off or saying that they needed to get his stuff back first. He even began to talk about his plans to dismantle the government and get revenge on Tubbo and Quackity, completely neglecting to mention anything about getting back the discs, even when Tommy asked about it, which he knew was the only reason Tommy was working with him. (I am fully aware that Tommy was also in need of a place to stay, and I am more than willing to make a post just like this showing Techno’s side of things, but for the purposes of this post that doesn’t really matter)
-They both had valid reasons to dislike one another and both made it clear that they had not forgiven each other for those things. My opinion on the events that cause this mutual distrust and hatred is a totally different rant that I’ll totally post if y’all want me to but at the end of the day the facts are that they openly disliked each other.
These reasons caused me to see techno’s speech as rather manipulative, claiming that he was Tommy’s friend and that he would have done anything for him when in reality the only reason they were even working together is because he stood to gain something from it. He claims that Tommy betrayed him “like 12 times” but in reality Tommy betrayed him once, maybe twice if you count making Tubbo president- whereas techno had betrayed him twice (killing Tubbo and Spawning withers in L’mamberg) and proven to Tommy that he could not be trusted to not betray him again. Keep in mind that throughout this whole time they were teamed Tommy’s character, who is still a child btw (just like real Tommy), is extremely confused and distressed having just escaped dream’s manipulation and torture, something that techno mocked Tommy for at every turn, and struggling with the idea of turning against his best friend. These were both things that techno was well aware of, both of them being things that Tommy had voiced his concerns and confusion about to techno, who had brushed them off.
In conclusion: Tommy did in fact betray techno, but techno claiming that they were friends and that he wouldn’t have betrayed Tommy is complete bullshit. Tommy is not free of any wrongdoing, and he admits that in some of his streams, but he is also a conflicted and hurt child who has had no kind of support and techno did not show him much kindness beyond just tolerating him. Techno is not free of blame in this scenario either.

Hello me reacting to Jaw$ thx
Donald patting Dewey’s head was so soft, I love it. Also the entire first scene was golden, I loved it. Also, “Roxanne.” I have hyperfixated on that.
“Scrooge hates magic.” “Don’t trust them, Lena. They’d turn on you in an instant if they knew what you really are.”
So I was right, in the case of a Magic!Donald, Donald would have 100% hidden it because Scrooge openly hates magic. Also, it almost sounds like Magica does care about Lena, even though I’m preeeetty sure she’s just using her...
Wait.
“...our centuries old blood feud.” Magica, are you talking about the McDucks or Scrooge specifically..? Because that context would change... a lot of things.
(Also Magica with that evil laugh thing is starting to seem like a huge dork and I love her for it, but she’s also pretty scary despite that...)
“You know what I care about.” WELL I DON’T AND I WANT TO KNOW. Your dad???
Webby.... Webby, I love you, but why do you even have that? “Heh heh, noo...” Oh Lena... I love you.
BOYS. YOU RUN INTO WEBBY AND LENA’S SLEEPOVERS AND EXPECT TO BEAT THEM IN A PILLOW FIGHT. WHY?? “I regret everything!” Yeah I bet you do. 
BEAKLEY SPRAYING SCROOGE WITH A WATER BOTTLE. Perfect. But oh man, the voice she puts on- it’s putting me through the wringer like my god. Beakley, go become a voice actress with that. (Wait....)
LOUIE’S NARRATING THEM O HG MY GOD THEY’RE SO PRECIOUS but also geez Louie you sure know how to change your voice. HUEY BABY, SING. SIIIING!
That “.............” moment before they run screaming. Perfect.
LENA DON’T YOU DARE USE WEBBY’S TRUST IN YOU AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP AGAINST HER. 
Launchpad’s spidey sense is ting- THEY TOOK DONALD’S BOAT WHILE DONALD IS ASLEEP ON THE WATER WHAT THE DU-
Okay but Donald being a single parent of three rambunctious children must have taught him to sleep through anything because he just slept through the displacement of water and the sound of a freakin’ helicopter, mate.
The sound of the helicopter crashing after LP gets on the boat... I love this show omg.
So wait- did they just... grab money out of the bin, or out of the mansion, or did Donald have freakin’ gold and gems just sitting in his boat?! .... The kids had to have brought it with them. They couldn’t have reached it in the bin while staying safe on the boat, yeah?
Oh- so... okay. The houseboat’s living quarters are below deck. I mean it makes sense when you think about it but for some reason it hadn’t occurred to me that the front door led to stairs. Also the amount of pictures of the triplets on the wall is so dang soft.
Lena playing with the friendship bracelet, clearly she’s torn up by this... MAGICA STOP IT. ..... TIFFANY. Magica stop, don’t think for a moment Lena’s being dumb for having something you never did. STOP. My love for Lena grows, y’all. The way she says, “I’m sorry of I don’t want to be killed by a money shark!” I really like it. The voice actors in this show are just so perfect.
“I DOUBT THE SINCERITY OF YOUR APOLOGY.” Okay. “Just don’t get eaten until then.” UNTIL THEN?! The funny thing is, the dime isn’t even in the bin. Magica, what made you think Scrooge would put his #1 dime among all the other money in his bin?!
LOOK HOW WORRIED LOUIE LOOKS WHILE HUEY RATTLES OFF FACTS ABOUT SHARKS. Louie is a soft sensitive boi and he’s worried about his brother. HUG THIS DUCKLING. NOW.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT DONALD HAS A FREAKIN’ HARPOON GUN ON HIS BOAT?!?!?! Is that actually on Donald’s boat or is it something else they brought with them?! This episode is giving me so many questions about what Donald keeps in his house like geez.
Huey....... That was a very Donald thing to do. “DEWEY’S BROTHERS!” Launchpad, really?
How dare they name her Roxanne. (I’m just joking, don’t worry lol) OH MY GOD THE WAY THIS INTERVIEW STARTED, this entire thing was a set up by Beakley wasn’t it? ........... Yes, Beakley and Roxanne definitely set this up.
“Ugh, I hate magic.” “Hold your tongue! Magic is the family business.” “And the more we use it the more likely I am to get caught!” Welp.
The fact that Donald’s boat can move through gold like it’s water concerns me.
SCROOGE WENT ON A RANT ABOUT SCOTLAND I LOVE IT. Of course it was Glomgold haha. SCROOGE WHAT THE HECK okay maybe it’s not a set up after all.
“That’s not how magic works.” Welp, magic of friendship burned- WAIT IT’S ACTUALLY WORKING LENA TURNED BLUE INSTEAD OF PINK. Okay Lena stopped it. Welp.
Scrooge’s words immediately disproven. “I’m being told it now has legs.” “Oooof course it does.” I love it.
EVERYONE’S JUST STEALING SCROOGE’S GOLD ASDFGJKL
Scrooge mad about having to drive himself lol. Didn’t even think to wake Donald for it, but then again he has no time to obey the law huh...
LENA DO WHAT’S RIGHT BABY GIRL I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. Just saying this episode is a lot darker than I was expecting from an episode about a shark made of money. Disappointed there’s not more Donald but eh...
“You beautiful idiot” Webby’s starting to get the hang of this best friends thing lol
I’m not a big fan of “the magic of friendship is the most powerful magic of all” but LENA MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE so I’m chill.
LAUNCHPAD THERE ARE TWO OTHER CHILDREN THERE TOO Y’KNOW. And your employer.
Scrooge freaking out over his gold not knowing where to start lol
“GENEROSITY” ASDFGHJKL GLOMGOLD I’M DYING Y’ALL
Scrooge is so hurting but as long as he has his #1 he’s all good lol
“You would have probably survived” Magica, you need to learn to care about your family. Sheesh.
“The dime does neither of us any good if I’m dead.” So Magica does need Lena for whatever she’s plotting... *side-eyes those upcoming episodes* Something’s gonna happen......
“YOUR FREEDOM” HOLY SMOKES NO. Okay Magica is a dork but she’s a dangerous dork who doesn’t give a darn about her own family. Ah geez, man... this is intense.
WOAH WAIT WHEN DID LAUNCHPAD START CALLING DONALD “DONALD”?! Also Donald is not a happy duck I’m sure- isn’t he spending his time FIXING THE BOAT so he and the boys can move back to the bay? This has set him back further than when he first started. How’s he supposed to live in the wreckage of his boat, anyway? (I mean he was already sleeping in the water so there’s that...)
Anyway, I loved this episode, it was super intense, so much more than I was expecting, and we got to see more of Magica’s personality and her dynamic with Lena. I think this Magica is a more serious and intense version of the character (which we already figured, from Terra-firmians when she basically said leave Beakley for dead), while still holding her eccentric personality- a hilarious character who actually feels like a threat. I like that. She’s a good villain and I love her, but a good person she is not. 
Disappointed in the lack of Donald, but at least he was here at all. *side-eyes other episodes* So overall 9/10. That missing point is Donald.

Whenever someone finds out I have adhd they always ask me what is the hyperfixation I’ve had for the longest and/or what hyper fixation I’ve spent the most money on.
And I love their reaction when I say archery, because I am not the person you’d think of when you think of archery :)
