I'm sorry if this is a stupid request, but since you are doing drabbles, could I still ask you something?
About the prompt list from October, number 91. Torture porn.
Since there was a lot of talk about Dark!Hiccup, how would you feel about a Modern AU about Hiccup watching snuff movies with Viggo and Dagur and the later two being disgusted by what they are seeing.
It feels like if Hiccup is evil, he would be a whole other level of cruel and monstrous than common sadists like Viggo or Dagur.
What do you think? Of course you don't have to write anything, but I would still like to know what you think.
Hm, the issue with that is that I don’t see Viggo or Dagur as common sadists. I can see them, even in a modern AU, going above and beyond to cause someone pain because of how much they enjoy it. Viggo and Dagur are very different sadists from each other, but I can see them both being extreme. I just don’t think they’d bat an eye at snuff films.
Now a dark Hiccup in a modern AU? He’d be more on Viggo’s side of things when it comes to sadism than Dagur’s. He’d want the pain to be something clever. Just simply beating someone wouldn’t bring him glee. No, there has to be a psychological component to the suffering he’s causing.
Dammit, he and Viggo teaming up would make for a good horror story for sure! And I say dammit because now I want to write it! (Or read it. It just needs to exist now.)
