So is this still a thing or...? Your silence is disturbing.
E6E6FA:
Oh it's still going! Slowly but surely. I'm writing Hiccup POV in Iceland right now. I wish I could do more for you guys-- but there hasn't been much activity fan-wise. D= No one has submitted any questions to answer or headcanons or contributed besides their enthusiasm (which is still awesome by the way <3).
Right now I'm just trudging on alone. But hopefully soon I'll have something for you guys to read! hope-for-snow has been reading over what I've got so far and she thinks it's pretty good. //smiles// Please stay tuned! This concept is still very much alive.
If I was a student at Hogwarts I’d use Howlers to send nice messages to people.
So you’d be sitting there in the Great Hall eating breakfast when an owl drops a Howler in front of you. You, and everyone else on your table, just stares at it as it trembles, explodes open, shrieks I WANT TO TOUCH YOUR SWEET BUTT and then dissolves into flames.
Okay. So. Did anyone happen know that Hiccup is cannonly thirteen in HTTYD?
Jack is eighteen when he dies.
That's a five year difference. Jackson are you robbing the cradle?
But besides this-- I do have another question for you guys. Joy, right??
Should I kill Jack cannonly when he's eighteen (AND F*CKING IN HIS SEVENTH YEAR ASDFGHJKL ANGRY), or can I have y'alls permission to kill him off when he's younger? I really... really... REALLY would like to keep everything as canon as possible, as you'll find out later I've put a lot of hard work into doing this, but this age thing is just infuriating me.
F*cking wizarding world needs to have a f*cking college-type-school after their primary years at Hogwarts. I don't want to boot out my babies when they're eighteen-- that's when everything just starts to get good! ASDFGHJKL.
Or should this maybe be the point in Jackson's life? That he has lived when he finally dies? He's lived eighteen years in his life-- he's experienced things, wonderful, dreadful, exciting and adventurous things with his friends-- but he's not experienced everything he should have; he has a lot still to offer the world (which is why the Man in the Moon brings his back to life in ROTG is it not?).
I'm so confused on how I should do this. I would really like a ROTG!spirit Jack to have fun throughout Hogwarts in his later years (mostly for the angst)-- but I want everything to be cannon and blow your minds away with how awesome I can plan things. //snickers// I suppose I could weave another adventure for them if I kill him when he's eighteen/in his last year... maybe. And I can just post one-shot AUs with ROTG!spirit Jack whenever I get the urge. Perhaps I should do that... hmm what do you think?
How I imagine Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel and Jack would look the first year of Hogwarts :’D I’m playing with the idea of Jack and Rapunzel starting out with dark hair, and then in maybe 3rd or 4th year something happens that changes their hair colors(and Jack’s eye color), either the same thing or two different things. I’m playing with a lot of ideas at the moment, and I’ll be sure to make a drawing and explain everything as soon as the concept is more solid *___* /
Yeah. It's happening. BUT I'M NOT TELLING YOU WHICH YEAR.
(1) Should it happen at Hogwarts? ((And does anyone know what happens if it doesn't? Do only the students who are qualified (+17 years olds) go to another school and watch/compete in the tournament? I'm trying to research this but I can't find anything.))
(2) Any ideas on what obstacles the champions should face? ((I'm sure I could create something-- but I'd love to hear what you guys can come up with! asdfghjkl And it would make this writing a lot faster, since my minimester is already kicking my ass. Painfully.))
I'm going to have to read the fourth book to make notes and such, but I will tell you this-- it's not going to be the first year ((even though I made plans for it to (I really really wanted it to be first year but no it won't really work out in the long run)).
OH AND GUYS. PLEASE IF THERE ARE ANY GUYS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY I NEED YOUR HELP.
And I know this might be a bit personal, but hey it's tumblr. Did you have any female friends when you were a kid? When did you start feeling attracted to them? And when did you hit puberty? THANK YOU. YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I NEED THIS INFORMATION... I hate writing about guys. I'm not a guy so I have experience with guy-experiences. Give me your experiences.
perfectionisboringx answered your question: E6E6FA: I have some questions for those who...
I think it would be good to ask somethings you really dont know or need help with but other things should be done in a small group not public
E6E6FA:
Thank you so much for replying. <3
Yeah-- it does make more sense to do that. I'll keep that in mind (and thanks-- really, what I wanted to ask you guys is kinda a big deal for the plot so I'm glad I had to figure it all out by myself). While I write a little drabble for you guys, I need a bit more help with the first year. More info coming. =3
HELP ME HELP YOU. YEAH? The more people I get helpin' me out, the faster I can write this fic!
So I finished my character form thingy, but where do I send it? The ask section will only let me enter so much :c
E6E6FA:
Yay! <3 You can send it by using our "submit" button (it's right below our ask button). The submit has unlimited text, I believe... or you can email it at [email protected]. Whatever you choose!
I have some questions for those who follow HijackingHogwarts!
Would you like me to ask your opinions on things-- or would you like to be completely surprised when you read the fanfic? I'm having a hard time deciding whither or not I should ask you guys things... halp. (This means everything from first year until the end-- some things might not be written for a while, but they're important to the plot!)
No problem, ask me whatever you want! And yes, she got sorted into Gryffindor. ~Aahhh thank you :D Miguel, as in from road to el dorado? Because that would be awesome!
E6E6FA:
The same! =D Okay then, year five, Gryffindor, friend of Miguel. Did you tell me her name? I can't find it in the files I've saved.
Thank you thank you, thank you! <3 I really appreciate all that writing you did for me. And I most-likely WILL be messaging you soon with more questions-- but right now I'm trying to concentrate on plotting the group's eight year school plan. =3 When I start writing the fic again, I'll be full of questions, so thank you for your offer! //hugs
hope-for-snow;;
asdfghjkl Yay! I'll be sending you some messages soon then-- do you have a skype or email we could use? //grins// It would be easier for us to communicate that way.
perfectionisboringx;;
//hugs you// Oh gosh, thank you! I appreciate your story-- I might be asking you some questions later if that's alright? <3 And you've got the first completed OC in Hijacking Hogwarts! Congratulations! ScarletSnidget is Gryffindor, right? For a reward who do you want your character to be friends with-- Miguel, Bunnymund, or Astrid?
asdfghjkl I feel like Toothiana with all this research on braces I'm doing.
The one thing I'm planning on with this Hogwarts fic is to make it as realistic (while still portraying it's Potterness) as I can. Because technically Hogwarts is a middle-school slash high-school as one. While there might not be so much drama (oh gods please I hope not but you never know) there will be those awkward years.
Because in those years the friends you make, good-will and luck providing, will help you find yourself and your center. Who you truly are/what lies inside.
I never went to middle school. I never went to high school. I was homeschooled as soon as I graduated elementary (primary) school. I can only imagine the things that you guys have gone through, though, I have to say spending those years in isolation is not as easy as some might think. If you have any embarrassing, scary, memorable memories of your school years please, I urge you, send me an ask (which can be anomyous) or a submit (if the story is long-- it's unlimited) and tell me! I could use the inspiration, and I do no judge. I'm a very good listener; I love a good story!
With your help, we can make this fanfic something others can relate to, and enjoy at the same time. <3 It is my wildest hope that I can portray these characters well, real, and as human as possible while they grow up and learn about the world around them. This might take a while as I research, read, write, and re-edit their story-- but this is only because I want the best for you guys. (Hell, I've even bought the artwork books for httyd and rotg just so I can further my knowledge for you guys. I love you! well... maybe it wasn't all for you guys haha)
Stick with us, and you'll find yourself in a whole new world with experiences, wonders, horrors, and adventures with the comfort of knowing you went through, or are going through, something similar yourself.
Anyone with experience with braces, a deceased parent, abandonment, the stress of responsibilities, an uncomfortable puberty, a private school, physical injury or amputation, dangerous animal encounter (and these are just some of the topics I want to discuss)-- I would like to hear of your experience. I would like to hear what you have to say. I would love to get to know you. Anything that has had a strong influence on your life.
Below this "read more" are the highlights of e6e6fa's life-- if you would like to know about me before you're comfortable with sharing, I'm just one click away!
Thanks, everyone. Please stick around! While my classes have started and I'm already swamped with homework and tests (minimesters are the epitome or evil, let me tell you)-- I will try to post a drabble for you guys. I don't know what year it'll take place in (probably an older one) but I'll let you know as soon as I do! <3
e6e6fa was born in Georgia, US. Her family moved when she was little to Michigan, and she only has one or two memories of her childhood in the peach state. Most of her memories consist of snow, snowshoes, more snow, those bulky, thermos snow-jackets, a f*ck lot of snow, and jumping off the back porch into four feet of the powdery white stuff.
While it did snow for nine months out of the year-- she actually has memories of the summer than when it snowed. Her family lived by a lake, and e6e6fa was an extreme tomboy. She remembers catching frogs, sweating in the (what was probably 50 F.) heat, her dad stopping on the side of the road to pick up any turtles he saw, and her dad's motorcycle's chrome motor burning her thigh as she leaned in to give him a hug when he came home from work.
She mostly remembers her childhood best friend, Benny, and every day they spent together playing dinosaurs, watching ed, edd, and eddy, and that one time Benny and her made pizza out of playdough and Benny actually took a bite of of his. He spent the rest of the time e6e6fa was over with a toothbrush in his mouth as he tried to get the taste out.
She remembers the neighbor's teenager nephew that would visit during the summers, and she remembers him taking her fishing, him taking her frog hunting, and them finding a tiny little duck underneath one of the abandoned boats by the lake. She remembers when he taught the duck tricks, and she remembers when the duck would eat bread out of their mouths. They would laugh at eachother's faces.
She remembers when the baby duck died.
e6e6fa remembers learning to count to ten in Spanish. She remembers her kindergarten teacher's pet hissing cockroach, and to this day e6e6fa has never been able to kill one of them. She remembers being called "teacher's pet". She remembers her teacher buying her a book at the end of the year and telling her how much of a joy it was to have her in class. And that her teacher would really miss her. She was crying. To this day, e6e6fa still doesn't know why her kind teacher was crying, but she hugged her anyway.
e6e6fa remembers when they had to move back down to Georgia... because her grandparents were getting older and needed looking after. No matter that they lived the furthest away-- no matter that her two aunts actually lived in the same state not even two hours away. Her family was the one that had to move-- and she hated it with all the fire a little, happy girl could muster.
She remembers the dress her mother forced her to wear for the photos with her two best friends. She remembers Benny's stupefied look as he saw her for the first time in a dress. She remembers feeling embarrassed and hot and hitting him repeatedly and to "stop staring meanie!" Those awkward photos are precious memories to her now.
The day they left Benny gave her a blue spotted ceramic dog she had always liked in his room, and e6e6fa loved it so much that she wrapped it in toiletpaper and stuck it in her favorite bug container case before they left so it wouldn't break.
She remembers two weeks later crying until she felt like throwing up because she lost the little blue ceramic dog.
She remembers horses and her riding instructor, Kimberley. She remembers eating pickle slices out of the jar while watching Star Wars with her. She remembers the Halloween party and trying to bite an apple out of the tub of water. She was so mad she couldn't get one, and she ended up throwing herself at them and getting her overalls soaking wet.
She remembers a sleepover Kimberley had one night, and Kimberley telling her not to watch Austin Powers with them but it didn't work. She didn't understand the movie but she thought it was funny.
She remembers her horse, Arrow. A beautiful pony pinto. She remembers getting a trophy in a horse-riding competition and making her mother furious for not wanting to compete horses anymore. She had a trophy. There was no more need to compete.
e6e6fa remembers the day her parents told her Kimberley was mean to her horse since she won Prettiest Pony. She remembers no being able to go see her anymore. She remembers her parents telling her Kimberley ran away with a boy, and now she would really never see her again.
Mostly e6e6fa remembers losing a friend. She remembers her parents selling Arrow before they moved. She remembers being friendless.
There was this girl though. In Georgia. The girl wore a Neopets shirt to school once, and e6e6fa complimented it. They became great friends... for a while. Then e6e6fa went through puberty. Her hair got darker and she was thrust into a body she didn't know. She kept her shortness, but she grew into a woman's body she knew nothing about.
She remembers her dad taking her with him to an autoparts store. She was eleven, maybe twelve then, and the cash register guy kept staring at her. Her dad asked him how old he thought she was and he said "eighteen". Her dad was so angry that he grabbed her arm and left without paying for the part he needed.
Her Neopet friend started spreading rumors behind e6e6fa's back. She didn't hear any of them, or understand the rumors, until on day in the girl's bathroom some other girls came up and tried to grab her chest. They asked her why she stuffed her bra, and they scoffed when she told them the truth.
On the way home from school e6e6fa told her mom that her friend was an "asshole". Her mom was so shocked that she almost wrecked the car. Her mom yelled at her and the entire way home e6e6fa cried silently as she was continuously yelled at. She never got to tell her mom why her friend was an asshole-- she kept it inside.
Two weeks before they graduated primary school, her crush found her curled up by the heater on recess and called her nasty things. Her friend was behind him... and all she did was smile.
e6e6fa tried to hate her. But she remembers the sleepovers they had and how her parents yelled at each other. No in a loud way-- but it was worse somehow. She remembers one night that her friend buried her head underneath her pillow and cried. They fell asleep hugging, and the next day her friend acted like nothing was wrong.
It wasn't until a day or two before graduation, that e6e6fa was told her friend's parents were divorcing. She saw her friend only once after graduation and that was at the YMCA-- a year or two later. e6e6fa was getting ready to get picked from swim team when her friend walked into the lady's dressing room. She had a few friends of herself, all from primary school, and they apologized for how they treated her. They said she looked good, and asked if she'd like to stay and swim with them.
e6e6fa grabbed her stuff and said "no thank you", and that her mom was waiting. She remembers spending the next fifteen minutes sitting in the parking lot trying not to cry.
The rest of her teenage years were spent in a blur. e6e6fa discovered something on the internet called fanfiction-- and at least spend eight hours a day reading it. She remembers those years her mom would yell at her a lot. But she got her schoolwork done, and she was a good girl, so there wasn't much she could say. Most of the comments bounced off her... but some stuck. She ignored reality and became very... very depressed. e6e6fa didn't know the term-- but she was.
Her grandma started drinking. Started yelling too.
... started beating e6e6fa's grandpa. Her grandpa that payed her fifty dollars to mow the lawn twice a month (if was a huge-ass lawn okay). Her grandpa who would eat anything she still had on her plate after diner. Her grandpa that always winked at her and make her feel special and seen.
She... remembers the day she couldn't handle it anymore and when her nana went on a fit of rage, e6e6fa built up all the courage she could and walked around the house to knock on her grandparent's front door (it was a two level house). Her grandma was furious but calm, and there's no other way to describe her. Her grandma growled at her but came outside and spent an hour talking to e6e6fa. She lost some of her anger and smiled once.
Her papa came out after a while and asked e6e6fa to get the mail. It wasn't until later when e6e6fa's mom told her that papa probably asked her get the mail because he didn't want his grandchild to get hit by her grandma.
It's the last memory she really remembers has of her grandpa. He lived a few years longer, and after e6e6fa's parents got her grandma on some medicine, she started acting nicer. Kinder.
But it's still the first thing she remembers about her grandfather. And that fills her up with anger, pain, and a sense of unfairness. Her grandparents were in a retirement resort when her Grandpa died in his sleep. He loved her grandma until he passed away-- despite everything. He was the most wonderful and respectable man e6e6fa has ever met, and she believes she will never ever meet another like him.
e6e6fa slowly started to understand herself and her body. She had to bury the child she used to be-- because she quickly found out when the world believes you are a woman and not a child, there are things you can and cannot do. e6e6fa could no longer play sports, her breasts hurt too much when she ran (sports bras only work so far), she could no longer fight or wrestle with other people-- it was seen as a sexual act when she did it. To survive she had to change, and while it made her into the lady she is today... she misses her childhood in ways she cannot form into words.
Learning from her experiences was hard. It still is. She is both proud and upset when she looks back and can tell how much she has changed. Not in a sense of a "learn to live without" but a complete rewiring of the brain. To adapt, she had to change... and it's frightening how a few years of judgement and expectations can metamorphosize someone. Whither good or bad, she has had to understand and play the rules of a world that doesn't seem to understand that there are rules, and find a place inside that will never change.
e6e6fa is shy, angry, beautiful, kind, sad, and confident in who she is. It took a long time to get here, and she has days she feels like everything would be better if she didn't have to deal with the expectations of the world-- but it's people like you that keep reminding her how much life is worth living. It's people like you who don't care about her appearance and like her for who she is and not what she is that keeps her comforted and feeling loved.
I didn't mean to write so much-- and rather than go through everything and delete half of it I'm just going to hit publish. I apologize for any mistakes there are... thank you for reading. <3
ohmygoodness I'm always amazed and proud of how wonderful my fellow Hijackers are. <3
I got so many replies so quickly! Many people commented about Emma (fandom name dub-- though I'm not sure I like it. I've always called her Mary Katherine due to William Joyce's daughter who died of a brain tumor. Rise of the Guardians was actually dedicated to her memory.) being around eight-- so I might make her eight now.
This would mean that when Jack leaves for Hogwarts his mom either will be reeeeeally preggers or will have had the baby already. (And I really like this concept because asdfghjkl adorable baby feels.)
Does anyone know what happened to Jack's dad? Why is he never talked about?
