how does your muse handle emotions? ㅤbold what applies to your muse, italicise what applies situationally or only in certain verses. feel free to add more to it as you see fit, or make notes if you think some of these deserve extra notes of their own. ㅤ/ㅤ𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 . . .ㅤ@predvestnik thank you so much vênus mwah mwah !ㅤ& ㅤ𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 ㅤ. . . ㅤ@frystsnow @wintersovereign @batoushoujo @brokenmagxc @unmeiha @giaunt (hilda) @stormbrained @stygicniron @wampirszy @fabala @revegrande + you!
𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧. ㅤjaw clenching, hands balling into fists, teeth grinding, yelling*, going nonverbal*, stuttering speech, rushed speech, slow concise speech, rambling, quiet*, arms crossing, shaking head, tearing up, animated, expressionless*, projects, internalises*, vents, withdraws, passive-aggressive, petty, direct, physical outbursts, verbal outbursts*
* it's rare for håkan to truly express his anger; he has learned to bottle it up it ever since he was a child. being passive-aggressive and petty with far too much humour and sarcasm is his standard; it's him trying to let go of his own venom, diluting it with sassy remarks here and there. though he is not as a severe case as his father, he will internalise his anger and/or hatred for someone, and, depending on the offence, he can hold quite a vengeful spirit, too. in the rare instances he does raise his voice at someone, it can be certain that he has already been sore for a while. he can be quite terrifying when he is angry, as the dragon riders can recount (snotlout especially). however, hiccup has only gone quiet/nonverbal and expressionless in extreme cases, such as drago, aka when his father was killed.
𝙟𝙤𝙮. ㅤeasy smiles, fighting back grins, suppressed laughter, loud laughter, snorts, giggles, chuckling, smirks, whole body laughs*, covers mouth when laughing, throws head back when laughing*, slaps leg*, touches people around them when laughing, looks down when laughing, looks for eye contact when laughing*, sparkling eyes, bubbly happiness, quiet subtle happiness, obnoxious happiness, wants to spread joy, quietly savors joy.
* it's a very subtle thing, but as håkan grows older, he tends to laugh with his whole body, and slap his leg, yes! to anyone who has met his father before, they will see the resemblance he has with sigmund/stoick, since he used to laugh like that as well. it's a hearty kind of laughter. like father, like son.
* hic will tend to look for eye contact with the person he has a crush on, cutely enough.
𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬. ㅤbottling it up, seeks distractions, wallows, meditates & processes, avoidance, seeks out comfort, withdraws/isolates*, talks it out, internalizes it*, sad smiles, depression naps, uses alcohol*, uses drugs, seeks out sources of joy, fidgets with sentimental item, sits in silence, broods, gets moody, wants someone to share the misery, tries to hide negative emotions, nurtures others to make themselves feel better, cries, castotraphises.
* other habits he got from his father. when it comes to strong negative emotions (such as anger, sorrow/grief), hic will tend to prefer some alone time from everyone, including toothless and/or the dragon riders, his partner, the village, etc. he needs time to process his feelings and organise his thoughts. especially after the events of httyd3 (with snotlout's passing), that generally involves the use of alcohol while he is in his forge working on a "spontaneous" project.
𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. ㅤshame, blushing, looking away, rubbing at back of head, covering face, laughing nervously, laughs it off, overthinks, lets it go, self-deprecating humour, deflects, gets irritated, smiles, cringes, withdraws, crossing arms over stomach, crossing arms over chest, hands in pockets, shoulders sinking, shrugs, falling into silence until comfortable again, talking a lot to compensate.
