Alliance of Snow and Fire

Rating: T Fandoms: How to Train Your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians Relationships: Hiccup/Jack, Astrid/Heather, Stoick/Valka Additional information to be added as the fic is written

When the King of Burgess and the King of Berk agree to a political alliance, it comes with a catch: there is to be a marriage between the two families in order to cement the alliance.

Prince Jackson Overland had only just been thrown into royal life when posed with the choice of marrying a barbaric warrior or letting his sister Mary be the bride. And there was no way he was going to let that happen. Now if he could just keep certain things secret, he'd be happy.

Prince Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third wasn't entirely certain that an arranged marriage would even work, least of all to a stuffed shirt of Burgess. But maybe it would give him the chance to show that dragons and magic wasn't something to be feared.

Can these two princes find equal footing and create the ultimate alliance?

i am so sick of “social communication difficulties” being painted as like. haha i said something out of turn! haha i talk too loud! haha i was silly when i should’ve been serious! im so weird lol.

shoutout to people who get told they stare and their eyes are too wide and they always look nervous or too intense. shoutout to people who don’t know why the conversation dies right after you interject. shoutout to people who never know how to get your thoughts into words. shoutout to people who need clarification so much no one ever tells you things. shoutout to people who always feel resented. shoutout to people who don’t know how to be in conversation. shoutout to people who struggle with social function in a way that can’t be uwu-ified.

Hey Potato, cure my -ing cold so I can have a good time while away.

Here's the potato. Make what use of it you will. :)

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc

[cryptotheism]

Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.

[moonbeamdagger]

*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep

[elodieunderglass]

Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Because it’s hilarious next question

[elftwink]

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

[nonasuch]

[kyraneko]

that’s what characters ARE. not people, but potential. many things, as needed, no matter how mutually exclusive.

[injuries-in-dust]

I don't know why, but I like the idea of humans being to aliens, what cats are to humans...

Alien1: hey, when did you hire a human?

Alien 2: we didn't. They just wandered aboard one day, saying they wanted to "hitch a ride." Then they never left. I think they like it here.

Alien 1: the human distribution system has chosen.

***

Alien stares at the human, who has climbed up a very high shelving unit.

Alien: Human, get down before you hurt yourself.

The humans response is to climb higher.

***

Alien is secretly filming their human, who is spaced out and just staring at nothing.

Alien (whispering): I think the human is about to intercept the brain cell. (Laughter) don't worry human, if it tingles that means it's working.

[injuries-in-dust]

@thatquietkid108 don't hide good stuff in the tags.

[injuries-in-dust]

@phoomwhoosh another good addition

People, you can add to this. You don't have to hide stuff in the tags.

[injuries-in-dust]

Alien 1: Oh, you guys have a human?

Alien 2: Yeah, they're a rescue.

Human (Looking dead inside from having to explain this a hundred times a day): I didn't have anywhere to stay and they offered to rent me their spare room!

[nube-de-lluvia-deactivated20250]

When the shows of affection are mildly anoying to aliens

Human: *hug *

Alien: ummmm *frozen in place, uncomfy*

In movie night, it's late and the human fell asleep on top of someone

Alien1: *whispering* what do i do???

Alien2: *olso whispering* i'm sorry, my friend, you are traped for eternity

[injuries-in-dust]

(Because humans can mimic cats, and cats can mimic humans -a little-)

Aliens picking up human cries, the same way humans can mimic cat cries.

*human is minding their own business*

Alien: hEy cOmE OvER hERe!

*human stares in both fear, curiosity, and pride before obeying the instruction.*

*alien is filming this for space-tiktok*: Oh my gods! It worked!

**

Humans able to mimic the noise the aliens make.

Human: HeLLooooo, aRRREeee yOOUU CoMmInNNNnnn???!!!

Alien: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!

Human *now speaking their own language*: Roooow weerriy!

[thatquietkid108]

Alien: "Oh my stars you guys won't believe this. My human has a south galactic accent just look at this!"

I’m pretty sure you’ve reached Legendary Status when the God of Skating, Tony Hawk looses his shit

[eveltal-deactivated20151217]

[nosdrinker]

HE REALLY DID IT

[tuesdaey]

[rilgon]

in front of Tony Hawk

AND STUCK IT

jfc

[comic-canary]

Tony Hawk literally says “Are you kidding me” because that move from the video game is a made up move that know one thought would be humanly possible

[adulthoodisokay]

i’m so glad to finally have context for one of my fav reaction gifs

[unpretty]

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

[guyalice]

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

[froginakettle]

[hotcocoachia]

I fucking love him

[jaynavajasso]

I love the justice grandpa of fists

[cursedcharley]

I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.

Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited

Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.

[tramampoline]

we need him more than ever…

[sarabeth72]

Grandpa Fuck Around & Find Out. Love him.

[prismatic-bell]

Y'know, I’m pretty sure doing modern Everett True strips could be done under protection from US parody laws, as long as you weren’t selling them.
