OKAY I WILL DO THIS ONE LAST ONE

Ruffnut

First impression: Dis bitch cray. I like her.

Impression now: Sweet, hilarious baby with un-touched-upon jealousy issues and unexpected if creepy romantic. Fan of pain. If you try it she’ll probably be into it.

Favorite moment:  “You just keep doing what you’re doing. Keep crrranking”

Idea for a story: The Rufflerette. Unbeknownst to Snotlout and Fishlegs, they aren’t the only ones being put through the ringer for Ruffnut’s affections. Being one of the only girls of her generation without an immediate husband prospect, Ruffnut takes it upon herself to find the most suitable man who can hack it.  And being one of the Original Riders, she has her pick, but how will she know it’s the right one? With the help of her brother, an inexplicably giddy Astrid, and the funds from a long running betting pool, Ruffnut will rake her claws across Berk’s viable bachelors with a series of heinous, often unfathomable, tests. If you get an axe in your foot, you’ve been cut from the running. Eret’s been entered against his will. Eret’s hoping for an axe in his foot. Hiccup pretends to be oblivious.

Unpopular opinion: Uh... Ruffnut takes pride in her hair? Ruffnut is plenty empathetic? Ruffnut legitimately had a crush on Hiccup at one point?

Favorite relationship: Her dynamic with her brother is top notch, of course. I was also always intrigued with her short-lived crush on Hiccup and annoyed that it was so tactlessly brushed under the rug (hence By the Toe).

Favorite headcanon: Likes to catcall men at work

Tuffnut

First impression: That funny but mean boy in the class

Impression now: Brilliant little shit. Weirdly good brother. Adorably supportive in his own way.

Favorite moment: Is it weird that I really love that moment in HTTYD1 when he and Astrid share this look as Fishlegs yaks around the campfire. I love tiny, familiar moments like that that carry a whole other story and proof to an existing relationship and history between characters. Also in HTTYD2--the face he makes at his sister right before she willingly takes Eret’s net

Idea for a story: Tuffnut, upon seeing all his peers find their adult place in life, decides he’s going to become the new Mildew of Berk. Every village needs one, he decides. He has a single odd pet companion and no intention of getting remaining married. What more could he need? He moves into Mildew’s old house and starts a garden of mostly dragon nip varieties. He challenges the new chief at every step, even if it doesn’t make sense. He draws up plans on who to marry and how to dispose of them--he needs a murky trail of wives too, after all. He puts the plan into action, and its slow and awkward and terrifying and after 4 months of married life he hold’s his first wife’s head in the water until she dies and then abandons the body to wash up naturally. He acts distressed upon its ‘discovery’ and half of it is unsure guilt and the phantom feel of her struggles. The other half is acting--he forgot how much he loved to act! He’s married again within a year and second wife’s body he disposes of completely and lets rumors that she left him to chase after an affair circulate. He develops a taste for killing and the thrill of getting away with it. He’s good at it. Too good... what am I talking about who would read this?

Unpopular opinion: He’s not an idiot? He’s tactfully unobservant at best.

Favorite relationship: His sister, obviously, but also a bromance with Snotlout as well as his relationship with his future chief

Favorite headcanon: He was a thumbsucker for most of his life. Still does it at night sometimes.

Isokay, i understand on the analysis hiatus...

That’s really sweet of you. :) Thanks for understanding!

[kingofthewilderwest]

When will the hiatus be lifted on analysis.

Probably not soon.

I am afraid I do not have a set date or good estimation of when I will open analysis questions again, friend. As enjoyable as it is to write analyses, I have to keep in mind that answering analysis questions is INCREDIBLY time consuming on my end! Even answering a short analysis can take 15 minutes; answering some longer and more complicated analyses can take HOURS. It might take only a few minutes for you guys to send a question or read my answers, but for me it takes up a HUGE portion of my free time. 

But I don’t have free time anymore. I cannot afford the time to answer analyses in the near future as far as I can predict. I’ll be very honest about why below.

Lifting the analysis hiatus is dependent upon multiple things, namely:

I need to answer somewhere between 50-60 outstanding analyses requests I have in my drafts folder. Some of these are questions I’ve had asked to me in NOVEMBER which I haven’t yet answered. It is completely unfair of me to open up my blog to new analyses questions when I am over *FOUR MONTHS BEHIND* answering other peoples’ asks. Those people are waiting on me and I just CANNOT let things pile up anymore with new questions. Basically, I have about fifty hours of analyses requests in my inbox already and I cannot take new analyses for a long time until I somehow find the time to answer those fifty hours of questions already given to me. That wouldn’t be fair to anyone. :(

I need to figure out if I can even realistically answer analyses anymore. I am incredibly busy outside of tumblr. I am studying in a PhD program, and consequently am overloaded studying and teaching classes. On top of that, I am trying to quit the PhD, find a full time job, find a roommate, and find a place to live several hundred miles away, find a means to move, and more. I am so swamped trying to make sure I will have MONEY to sustain my own life that I can’t spend time online answering analyses in my non-existant free time. Until my life is figured out and my financial situation is secure, I won’t have much time to give to tumblr.

I need to figure out if I WANT to keep answering analyses anymore. I feel so happy and blessed people are interested in my perspective, and I want to thank the HTTYD fandom for being so wonderful… but writing analyses has become a major responsibility and time consuming point in my life. When I was answering analyses, I was putting more hours into my analyses than in my part-time jobs. Answering analyses should be a fun past-time done in a few random spare hours, not a serious time commitment like this has become. I don’t know if I want to put in that amount of time into answering questions anymore. It’s starting to become a burden and obligation to me rather than a fun past time. I’ll be honest: as much fun as it is to talk about HTTYD, I don’t want to put that amount of time answering questions anymore. I want to do other things with my life than sit at a computer screen for multiple hours a day every day answering questions! 

I hate to spring this on you, friend, but it’s more likely that I’ll go on complete hiatus rather than open up my inbox for new analyses anytime soon. I enjoy interacting with the HTTYD community and it’s become an important part of me, but I have to be realistic about my life outside of the internet. I hope you understand that analyses cannot be a priority in my life and that there are many things I need to do with my time. I am not obligated to answer analyses in this life. It’ll be my choice whether or not I answer them, how often I answer them, and how much time I choose to spend answering them. I will certainly let people know if/when analyses requests are open again, though! :)

 Have a wonderful day and take care!
