stoick will be like “if my daughter comes out as gay what should i do” and not wait for an answer (aka, the t4t lesbian hiccstrid catholic school au)

[evilwriter37]

May I suggest: Hiccup getting pregnant during RTTE (could be t4t Hicstrid, post one night stand, noncon result, or otherwise) and doing a good job at hiding it from the hunter's for the longest time.

Then, one day, he gets captured by Viggo and it comes out. Maybe he says it in a panic because the hunter's are roughing him up or threatening a beating and he doesn't want the baby to get hurt. Maybe Viggo notices the baggy tunic just barely concealing a, fairly obvious without clothes, baby bump.

How do we think Viggo would react? Would he be jealous? See it as another thing to use against Hiccup to try and get what he wants? Would he freak out or be mad, because now he's realizing that for the past few months Hiccup had been continuing to foil his plans all while dealing with morning sickness and cravings?

Also, maybe, Viggo touching the bump. Morbid curiosity, an excuse to touch Hiccup, the reason doesn't really matter. But the baby senses Hiccup's distress and starts moving around. Kicking properly for the first time, right against Viggo's palm.

Excuse me while I clutch my chest and faint from the sheer evil of that last paragraph.

Like, holy shit, my friend! This is evil. This is straight up evil.

So, naturally, I am absolutely thriving off of it.

*me vibrating at the speed of sound* Don’t write a fic for it, don’t write a fic for it, don’t—fuck. *gets out my writing ideas list again*

I like the idea of t4t Hiccstrid in this! I want Hiccup to feel loved and to love this baby in return. In my opinion, that just makes the unwanted touching from Viggo so much worse.

And to think the baby kicks for the first time at feeling Viggo’s hand? I’m going absolutely feral over that! That was something Hiccup wanted to share with Astrid and Toothless first, and then his friends. (I like the idea of Hiccup sharing that sort of thing with both Toothless and Astrid simultaneously, so no one has to be jealous about who got to feel the baby kick first.)

But Viggo feels it first.

And this absolutely destroys Hiccup inside. Top tier angst. All the angst.

I feel like this is definitely a “write and find out” situation with Viggo and how he reacts to all this, because at the moment, I’m honestly not sure. Hiccup and the baby will be physically safe, I think, even though it’s Viggo they’re dealing with. But emotionally? Scars to last a lifetime.

This was so utterly fantastic! Hope I eventually get to writing this as a fic!

Happy anniversary to How to Train Your Dragon

Edit for the t4t & bi hiccstrid truthers ^_^ (they're autistic too btw)

Consider this… trans Kosmo as well… perchance (headcanon)

[useless-moss]

Since it's been a hot minute: Trans Hiccup Headcanons(with some bonus trans Astrid)

He started experimenting with more masculine clothes at around 4-5 years old and expressed an interest in using male pronouns shortly after

Stoick was always very happy and supportive of Hiccup, though this was mainly because he always wanted a son to begin with

The 'I think you brought me the wrong offspring' rant in httyd 1 was born of both the other insecurities Hiccup had about being a viking in general and also him feeling 'incorrect' and like he wasn't really a man (which, same bro)

He struggled with trying to be the perfect son for his dad for most of his life

Valka had a hunch from the minute Hiccup was born. She often made jokes about how Stoick already had a son, he'd just show himself a little later. When she saw Hiccup in httyd 2 she recognized his face and the scar and was very proud that he'd grown up to be who he is

Gobber was the one who taught Hiccup how to bind

Gobber would also physically fight any village kids and/or adults who tried to bully Hiccup for being trans, which was rare to begin with since most people were more concerned with Hiccup's lack of general viking-ness

Hicstrid t4t supremacy bitches

Speaking of Astrid, her family followed more traditional last name culture, which is why her last name is Hofferson. She high-key hates this fact but the name 'Astrid' draws attention away from it, and unless told people assume it's some classic irony that a woman would have a last name that essentially means 'Son of Hoffer'

Part of why Hiccup and Astrid get along so well is because they understand the self doubt and the internal and external struggles of being yourself while also trying to be who everyone expects you to be

Hiccup has tried to DIY his top surgery at least five or so times. He was usually stopped by Gobber, other times he managed only one small cut before backing out

Being accepted into 'the guy group' was one of the best days of his life

As mentioned in my first trans Hiccup post, Dagur got the news when they were kids and, even though he didn't fully understand, he started religiously calling Hiccup 'brother'

Dagur's tormenting was also a way to try and help Hiccup 'man up'. It didn't really work as intended, unsurprisingly

The only villains who would be mean about Hiccup being trans are Drago, Grimmel, and Johann. Johann in secret because, you know, undercover/traitor stuff yada yada 😒

Also Spitelout. Spitelout would be mean about it

Gothi knows how to make what is essentially HRT gel, which Hiccup is immensely grateful for

Okay, all I got for now. Will add more as my brain continues to just stew on this fandom.

BTW, I HC Hiccup as trans masc in the first place because I'm trans masc and he's a comfort character of mine so, like I do with all my comfort characters, I'm projecting. This includes but is not limited to the trans-ification.

It's pretty much the same thing with Astrid, but reversed

having a lot of fun writing this comic but wow are my wrists and fingers getting cramped 😵‍💫 not to mention lining this… so for now you just get the skeleton of it all

but here’s a sneak peek at a conversation between hiccup and astrid — about names, traditions, and things they share :)

Rated: mature

Warnings: noncon touching, noncon kissing, discussions of abortion

Relationships: Hiccup/Astrid, Viggo/Hiccup, Hiccup & Toothless

Summary: Hiccup is pregnant and trying to keep it a secret from his enemies. Being captured by Viggo during this time doesn’t bode well for him… or the child he’s so desperately protected.

A/N: To the anon who inspired this idea, you’re one of the real ones! Keep on using that big brain of yours!

We see a lot of trans hiccup (rightfully so!!) But with your t4t hiccstrid post, I'm curious what your thoughts/headcanons on trans Astrid are? (Idk I just feel like we don't see transfem headcanons talked abt enough. I LOVE your art btw)

you are absolutely correct and I’ve been turning over specifically astrid’s coming of age arc in my head for this reason!!!

Something interesting to me is how Astrid lacks the goofy naming tradition of Berk. To me, in part that’s because when she came out as a girl she really wanted to leave her old identity behind including the silly nature of her name… but ‘Astrid’? Now that’s a name worth fearing, that’s a name that sounds powerful, and for people to respect her and her being-a-girl, she needs to have a name worth respecting. she needs to be The Perfect Girl, the perfect warrior, so she trains day and night to become the best shieldmaiden because that’s what her community needs. They need someone who can fight and kill dragons and protect their home

and then all of that gets upended

And now she’s left with… Astrid the girl who is the best shieldmaiden of her age. but what use is that strength now that there’s peace? how does she come to terms with this new identity? With this name and this image that she picked out for herself that no longer needs to exist the way it once needed to?

Something I’m particularly interested in is exploring Astrid’s trans feminine identity in the largely violent, strength-dominant culture that does not need to exist as it once did. this is why astrid cooking in gotnf and episodes like flight of passage are so interesting to me… we get to see astrid express interest in new ideas and struggle with peacetime, but despite that, she’s clearly someone who loves deeply. Astrid loves Berk, she is willing to kill and die for it — now she has to learn to live for it
