a little bit the biggest difference between haymitch and katniss and peeta is that haymitch never for a second doubted the fact that he was loved
Sometimes I kinda wanna introduce Harry James Potter himself to all the Ginny-bashing, Ginny-slut-shaming fanfics, just to see his reaction
Saw a post about the pre-pilot bois and decided to draw something for ‘em!
They’re just a little silly!

Platonic Astrid & Eret - i feel like these two would be pretty good friends and Eret would probably have a special bond with Stormfly do that would bring them closer together. Also I may or may not enjoy the hiccup jealous of eret fics 🤭 I am by no means a THW hater but the fact we didn't get any of this duo was disappointing.
Platonic Astrid & Snotlout - Snotlout's Angels is one of my fave filler episodes of RTTE because it's cool to see them look at Snotlout's attitude to women, Astrid especially, and it was just overall hilarious. But I so wish we got more bonding between them. There is loads of Astrid and Snotlout moments in the show but it's mostly banter or comedy. I would've loved to see a bit with them turning to each other for comfort or something (the lack of this is probably why I'm writing a fanfic for it 🙃)
Hiccup & Tuffnut - the duo I didn't know I wanted until THW. There are loads of twins+Hiccup moments but I don't think there's many of just them (or maybe I've forgotten 🤷♀️). Just havin Tuffnut bring Hiccup's therapist and advisor whilst Hiccup rolls his eyes for the 100849th time. That's all, thank you.
Astrid & Valka - another one I hoped to have seen in THW. To be fair, there was a scene between them cut from the movie so at least they were planning on it. But I feel like they could've kept it in instead of the prolonged "Ruffnut thinks she's hot" bit. The haddock wives bonding over the haddock men. I know it fails the Bechdel test but eh. Although, I suppose they did get a scene together in the comics. Would've liked a nice personal convo between them tho.
Astrid & Ruffnut - I'm 99% sure there are no scenes of them together alone. They're the only two girls in the gang, I would've loved to seen some girl talk between them or just them slowly becoming better friends because Astrid seems closer with (obviously Hiccup) and maybe Fishlegs and Snotlout, even Tuffnut in an episode. But apart from Ruff having a go at her, there's no AstridxRuff duo. Unpopular opinion: I would've much preferred Astrid and Ruffnut together than Astrid and Heather.
Hiccup & Valka - this, again, is mostly directed towards THW. Hiccup and Valka have plenty of scenes and moments together but I wanted something in the aftermath of HTTYD 2. A lil angst even, if they could fit it in. Hiccup's mom came back after 20 years of absence, surely it's not as easy as just pretending it never happened and acting all normal. I feel like maybe this would've been better as a bit in the comics rather than the movie. Even just them grieving Stoick together. They didn't talk much in the third and I think that was a missed opportunity.
Astrid & Stoick - theres definitely moments for these characters, it's not non-existent. But I'm greedy, I would've wanted more. There's loads of fanart of Stoick being the biggest hiccstrid shipper, how cool would it have been to see that come to life a bit more.
This isn't a duo per say but just overall Dragon Swapping in general is something that would've been really cool to see. Like, Snotlout riding Stormfly? Astrid on Hookfang? Tuffnut on Toothless? These would've made for some pretty funny moments.
AHHHHHHH CANON
“I am a warrior. But I'm a girl too”
my friend started watching jwcc and the other day i asked him what part he was on and he was like “they just got on the monorail i’m glad they’re finally safe haha 🤪🤣”
i haven’t been able to function properly since
Nya and Ronin the uncle and niece duo you could’ve been.
Morro and Lloyd the cousin duo you could’ve been.
Pixal and Unagami the mentor-mentee/older sister-younger brother duo you could’ve become.
CRYPTOR and Pixal the sibling duo we could’ve had.
MR E AS ECHO AND ZANE THE BROTHERS YOU COULD’VE BEEEEEEEN
I love the idea that Ginny is Percy’s favorite sibling. Like he loves all of his brothers but Bill and Charlie are untouchable older brothers, Fred and George had each other, Ron always thought Percy was too much of a stick in the mud but Ginny??
That’s his baby. That his baby sister, loves her to bits. Half of his childhood photos are him carrying baby Ginny, holding her hand, comforting her when she’s crying. Like Ginny is the sibling he was able to BE a big brother to. And you can even see that in Chamber of Secrets like he’s the one keeping an eye on her in her first year, he notices that something is wrong, which isn’t to say that the other brothers didn’t but they thought he was doing too much. But no, he was right, his brother instincts were going off and sure enough Ginny almost died.
I can only imagine how guilty all the brothers felt hearing that their fucking sister was possessed and they didn’t notice; but imagine noticing and backing down.
THAT IS HEART FUCKING WRENCHING
Especially because Molly feels like the kind of mom to hear that her daughter was possessed and A) be pissed because what kind of fucking school is this, but B) how did you not notice your sister was possessed.
Like that just feels like something Molly would do. (Molly is either completely demonized in this fandom or treated like a saint but I’d like to raise a third option: she is………..human. I feel like she’d look at the boys, with tears in her eyes after yelling at Dumbledore and be like “None of you noticed?” and she’d feel guilty and apologize later (which doesn’t fix it but ykwim) but she still says it)
And it fucking kills Percy because YES, I DID NOTICE, but he didn’t do anything, so he just hangs his head and doesn’t even bring it up and he just feels fucking terrible .
ANYWAY-
Ginny is beloved by all of her brothers but Percy IS her big brother, thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Jay and Nya mean sm to me
