I like to think that Hiccup would be more of an affectionate father because he somewhat wished that Stoick was. Hence the birth of this sketch. I also love the more domestic side of Hiccup and Astrid, and can’t resist drawing cute family moments lol.
damn guys. i’m back. and since y’all have been so patient and sweet here’s some random httyd sketchies.
but SERIOUSLY!! thank you all for the support and kind words of encouragement. i promise i read every single comment, hashtag and like i receive. and i love each and every one of you! i hope you have a great start to an even better week! toodles. 😘
Not to be a loser or whatever but saying Astrid is "the man in the relationship" in Hiccstrid is wildly misogynistic and misandrist all at the same time. Enforcing rigid gender roles to pretend you're NOT enforcing gender roles is fucking weird.
Hiccup is a man, he is The Man in the relationship. All of him is masculine because he is a man, he identifies as a man, he (we can assume) has male biology, and everyone around him accepts him as male.
Acting like Hiccup is somehow "weak" or "submissive" or "effeminate" just because he's thin and has a gentler personality then Astrid walks back what Feminists have been struggling to explain for years.
Astrid is a woman, she is The Woman in the relationship. All of her is feminine because she is a woman, she identifies as a woman, she (we can assume) has female biology, and everyone around her accepts her as female.
Acting like Astrid is "dominating" or "masculine" or "stronger" just because she's a better warrior and has a more aggressive personality then Hiccup is
WALKING BACK WHAT FEMINISTS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO DEPROGRAM FROM YOUR PEA BRAINS FOR DECADES
Personality traits and physical attributes do not dictate what makes you a man or a woman, it's how you FEEL and how you accept yourself. If you are a man thats gentle and compassionate, empathetic and patient- then you ARE JUST A MAN WHO IS GENTLE AND COMPASSIONATE AND EMPATHETIC AND PATIENT.
WOMEN ARE STILL WOMEN IF THEY'RE PHYSICALLY STRONG OR THEY'RE AGGRESSIVE OR THEY'RE SMART.
Hiccup tends to stay up late, and instead of going to his own bed he plops down with Astrid on hers to get da cuddles… (Canon event) (I don’t make this stuff up) (I just say it how it is). ⭐️
I think this simple parallel shows how much these two have grown close to one another over the years. It perfectly encapsulates the respect they’ve both developed, and how much more confident and comfortable Hiccup is around Astrid, and how she is more accepting of who he is as a person. It’s magnificent 🤌🏻 chef’s kiss 💋
It makes my heart screech every time I hear Hiccup say “Always.”
I’m trying to figure out how to draw them, so that presents itself in random situational poses such as this lol, so tell me what they’re jinxing about cause I really don’t know. 😂
Drawing warmup, I had to draw it when I heard the audio in a reel xDD
but ALSO just an excuse to draw Snotlout because ever since watching RTTE he is now one of my favorite characters and AAAAH i love him so much best boy
