slides into ur inbox bc you have the fun takes: what are your thoughts on Stormfly and Astrid's relationship and how the films just ignore them? :(

did u see the post in the tag where someone’s like “au where Astrid has a light fury” or whatever too cause oh man i was already mad about this

the httyd universe literally builds up that the dragons are mirrors of their riders and ! also says fuck you toothless and hiccup are the most scared bond ever!!! (i guess bc toothless is literally dependant on hiccup for like everything.) which is a shitty take and just like. they’re all “we planned this!!” but then backtrack on everything like yike. other people having bonds with their dragons doesn’t take away from hiccup and toothless? ????? anywya

the major piece of info about Stormfly we get is that she’s pretty (read: vain.) but also capable, and it’s said by Astrid about herself which she then corrects. Love that for them tho! I love that snippet of Astrid loving Stormfly and seeing herself in her!!!!!!!!!! I actually REALLY wanna do a big analysis post on Stormfly now cause I wanna dig into all these details of her characterisation? :(((

the movies tho? httyd1 just met. httyd2 is about her playing fetch with Eret? I guess they are mirrors, sidelining Astrid for a man, yet again. They have a really strong bond but it’s kinda dismissed in narrative as jsut existing and isn’t explored. and then httyd3 whom is Stormfly? oh? surely ..... the light fury is what you mean. h

Remember when dreamworks was pushing stormfly/toothless because they mirrored their riders and dontcha know h*ccstrid are perfect and now people are falling all over themselves to act like there’s Astrid and ligh fury parallels :/ dreamworks says fuck any relationship Astrid has outside of hiccup. all this bullshit about hiccup making her the person who is she when they couldn’t even be bothered to show something deep between her and stormfly? I’m just so mad they barely touch on their relationship AHHHHHJJ

sending the recipe in an ask!!! You need pasta of your choice (macaroni, shells, penne, whatever), some cheese of your choice (I like getting sharp cheddar in a block but you can get shredded or slices, whatever you like the taste of), half a stick of butter (softened), 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour, and about a quarter cup of milk. Optional but good is to add diff types of cheese, sliced peppers, or veggies of some kind so you're not just eating cheesy pasta - (pt.1)

and some spices of your choice. I rly like cayenne, chili, garlic, and black pepper, but it's up to you. Anyway! cook the pasta, that's super easy. Make the sauce. melt the butter, gradually add flour, then slowly stir in milk and allow the sauce to thicken, when the sauce is as thick as you like, shred the cheese and stir it in. Season. Toss with cooked pasta + whatever you like. Enjoy! For leftovers you can just microwave them or put them in a toaster oven with extra cheese and bread crumbs

for the super pared down recipe, just take some boxed mac and cheese of your preference and toss the pasta with real cheese and some hot sauce or seasonings of your choice.

[TAKING NOTES] thank u!!!!!

Hypatia for the character asks?

Character ask    thank you ! ♥♥

Favorite thing about themLike? Everything??? I think the fact that she’s so kind, caring and genuinely a good person. It really is strange because I usually like villains but there’s something about Hypatia’s soul that’s just so pure and beautiful, especially because she has to deal with Alex.

Least favorite thing about themHonestly she’s so perfect and pure, there’s nothing I can answer to that. I guess maybe Grim Alex’s design, which is way too simple compared to the early concept art.

Favorite line“Ah, you’re here. Stay with me a moment.”

brOTPHypatia & Vasco, Hypatia & Meagan, Hypatia & Corvo

OTPHypatia/Emily, Hypatia/Ashworth, Hypatia/Leah

nOTPHypatia/any man lol she gay

Random headcanonI have a bunch but I think the one I have that’s most likely to be canon is that she loves doodling and drew all the illustrations of her office herself. 

Unpopular opinionThere’s nothing but friendship between her and Vasco and you can’t change my mind.

Song i associate with themI found a way - First Aid Kit

“It’s me, it’s me, you’ve come to take My duality awakes By midnight time I could not see, If I were you or you were me“ 

Favorite picture of them

My icon and this pic because Hypatia’s smile doesn’t show that much in game and that’s A SHAME

@shalaika yeah they make her this cookie cutter mommy TM who like ...... literally gives up her personality to be a Mom. It’s so ...... gross. And to see people praising it and acting like it’s wonderful mother representation like ........ what

[despiteherself]

@shalaika me 2

I think it’s specifically too because they keep framing her as a natural nurturing Mommy TM when....... nothing about Astrid had suggested that’s in character at all. Like I just can’t see it being easy or natural for her at all.

shalaika replied to your post: “So if anyone has any like… not shitty media...

God that is a mood. I think it’s good I never like… idolized these people, but it’s still frustrating because I genuinely enjoyed listening to their takes on certain media + experiences w/ it and it’s just a disappointment to find out a lot of them are gross.

mood i just need ppl w soothing voices and good takes to zone out on while i draw and then Here comes the “racism and pedophilia are okay actually” truck

@shalaika didn’t u know? mean girl only learn empathy when she falls in love with nerd boy and her entire life becomes about him. that’s what empathy is
