Here's the thing. Yes of course I am very excited that there is more of my boy tonight. But what I am MOST excited about is that we are finally getting ASSEMBLY POLITICS LORE THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

[demisexualemmaswan]

wait

I’ve been thinking about the webbing that goes down Imogen’s arms and the residuum runes carved into the Blumentrio and

It would NOT surprise me if Trent got those designs from Ludinus or Ludinus supported Trent in that research

…MATTHOLOMEW. MATTHOLOMEW MERCER LET ME INSIDE YOUR BRAIN.

Astrid, If you had to swap dragons with another member of the riders, who would u pick

After the day we'd switched dragons, it really had been a lot of fun flying with Hookfang. He's also probably the only one that delivers what Snotlout deserves. -Astrid

You still think my dragon is cool so... -Snotlout

Don't push it. -Astrid

I see your into star wars and it was really into it a couple of Years ago and was obsessed for some time. (I have not caught p on the newer stuff sadly there was so much coming out and not enough time) But i figured I would pop in and share and Idea i have.

A Hilda Star Wars AU

Its kind of been in the back of my mind for a month.

Hilda (Maybe a Jedi) I really have only partly thought of it,

I know for sure i would have Kaia as a Jedi....

But i was also thinking of an idea that maybe Johanna is in the Darth Vader role.

Tildi is like a Yoda.

Just come to share some part of my Idea.

OOH

OKAY

SO I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN THINKING ABOUT A HILDA/SW CROSSOVER

I've posted a little bit about what it might be before, and I see your Jedi Hilda, and I raise you: Mandalorian Hilda who has, in fact, just passed her verd'goten (I'm not going to go check the Mando'a website but I think that's the word) and is trying her level best to befriend Frida, padawan to Jedi Master Tildy :) (Kaisa was Tildy's padawan as well and is now an archivist)

I think character substitutions are cool, but I've honestly just gone with wholesale character integration, and I think it would be especially fun(ny) if the basic events of Hilda took place during the Clone War, so now there's a chaotic little Mando running around during all the other chaos. The other parts of this that have really been sticking in my mind is Hilda force-befriending Commander Fox as well as armorer Astrid :D

[great-raven-parade]

Do you think there’s a reason as to why the Pooka always goes to Astrid specifically?

I do think that Astrid is just a little more tolerant of him than most other people! Even if she's annoyed by him, she always answers the door, talks to him, and seems to let him borrow things at least some of the time (as evidenced by the large bag of stuff he returned to her). My personal headcanon is that after some sort of incident with the Pooka stealing things, Astrid made a comment about good neighbors 'asking to borrow a cup of sugar' instead. Everything else has been a nonsensical escalation of that concept due to the Pooka not quite understanding

scale of 1 to 10 how buff is astrid in your off the coast au???

(for science purposes, of course)

dragonsoffthecoast!astrid infodump pretty please?? relationships with work, he gang, all of that tasty stuff :]

I CAN ABSOLUTELY INFODUMP ABT ASTRID!! (she's at least an 8 on the buffness scale)

i want astrid to have this body type (photo is of monica granda, who is a powerlifter!!!)

BUT to the main stuff abt ms astrid hofferson :)

general info

astrid picks her name to be astrid legally when she's around 12 :) she used that name as her "viking name" back when she & the gang were little kids playing vikings vs dragons. and since it's?? a rlly cool name. when she changed it from her dead name her parents let her pick & it was all she could think of. it means so much to her.

astrid in school, all school from elementary to college/uni, is a try hard. she is going to be valedictorian if it'll be the last thing she does. if she's not at least top 3 her eye is twitching. she is also very active in sports!! track & field is her JAM!!! esp once she's at uni she does lots of field stuff!! (discus, hammer, etc!!) and powerlifting!!

when she initially came out as trans it was a little rough with her parents (they were a bit distant at first) but they got over themselves & were super supportive as she transitioned :) that's their daughter!!!

she always is wearing her headband, it's yellow & blue to match stormfly's crown. tuff & snot made it for her.

relationships

stormfly is her girl, her best (dragon) friend!! <3 stormfly brings out astrid's playful side and is an excellent confidant for her. astrid is super protective of stormfly. stormfly is in the sanctuary due to having some part of her crown (the spines that stick out of her head) being cracked (they are very important for nadders!!!) and as she healed, astrid was her human. they also both tend to be the ones reigning their friends in (altho stormfly can get carried away when she plays sometimes!!)

hiccup (hirschel) is her best (human) friend. they grew apart when they were in middle school (as did the rest of the gang from hiccup) but in high school she was the first person he revealed toothless to & she (after being convinced to NOT tell any of their parents) did not take hiccup's trust in her lightly. it means a LOT to her. their dynamic is very much like how their friendship is in the shows esp. astrid can get in over her head with how strict she can be abt how to do literally anything & her frustration of others not doing what she would do & hiccup will just dryly vibe check her. she also bluntly (but gently) vibe checks him back (think "so why didn't you?" scene from httyd 1). she's his second in command at work and is in charge when he's not there. hiccstrid is a thing for this au and they do have feelings for each other when they're kids :)

fishlegs (justin) and astrid are super close!! when they're together they're basically the level-headed ones of the group. they bring out the responsible sides of each other lol!! they're each other's confidant and astrid can always rely on fishlegs to be honest (but kind) when she needs advice. they of course have their fun but they're who they go to when they need a moment of calm. astrid is also fishlegs' go to for tasting anything he creates because while she's not the best cook or anything herself, she can give her honest opinion. also they do yoga together!!! fishlegs helps astrid relax (which he understands the struggle of given the fact his resting heart rate is always registered as a panic attack /j). they just rlly appreciate each other.

snotlout (gary) and astrid's relationship should be obvious since that's the one i've posted abt the most but they've been at each other's throats since birth. as kids they were always arguing and it's no different when they're older lol. and obviously they eventually date for a brief period due to astrid developing feelings for him. they are genuine, from both parties, but it's not sustainable for them to stya together. outside of that part, they're still super close and while they will give each other shit the whole way through, they know each other better than anyone else, much to astrid's chagrin.

astrid's relationship with ruffnut (eugene) compared to others in the gang is more strained. astrid falls into a bad habit of treating ruff & tuff like a singular entity a lot of the time (which, in her mind is because one is not without the other and are always causing mayhem together) and this frustrates ruffnut, but ruffnut isn't as vocal as her brother until she feels like she needs to be. however, she does give astrid where credit is due. if only astrid could give her the same credit in return (don't worry, astrid will learn and they do grow closer when they're older, esp once they're in uni)

astrid's relationship with tuffnut (laverne) is similar to how she is with ruff in terms of her tending to act like tuff & ruff are a single entity and not two separate ppl with lots of overlapping interests and behaviors due to being twin siblings (ha. felt). tuff, out of the twin duo, is way more talkative than ruff and he is honestly, despite his snark, very sweet. he's more himself than anyone else in the gang and is the most comfortable in his own skin and astrid is sometimes jealous of him for it. he also is the one in the gang who makes her laugh the most with his silliness, but with how quickly he relays jokes, ofc she laughs more often :)

at work

at the hidden world, astrid is very no-nonsense and is particular abt her sections of the sanctuary, which are the sharp and tracker classes! she ends up with two classes due to the switch of nadders from sharp class to tracker class and she does the primary research for the new tracker class set of dragons!! she also does a lot fo the field work! she loves going out into the woods and helping keep track of dragons and then later help with new species :) she helps tag and track!!! her least favorite thing is sitting at the front desk and having to talk with visitors. she thinks she does alright at the job but hiccup says she "can be scary." but also when she's up front it's snotlout & the twin's favorite time to bother her to get her reactions lol. she's also in charge of making the schedules for everyone by her own decision bc she hates the way everyone else does the schedules.

always has stormfly on her shoulders <3

however once she's at uni her time at the sanctuary lessens, altho she does go back full time during summers! she does work a uni job while there, tho (just either at a coffee shop or smth). after she graduates she goes back to the sanctuary but tosses around the ideas of doing other things (despite what hiccup wants but. that's for them to discuss bc she shouldn't have to do what he wants) she even considers enlisting in the coast guard at some point but decides against it. the gang eventually travel across the country to help with more dragons as well as talk in interviews about dragon conservation & stuff & she becomes one of the main spokepeople :)

[commander-gloryforge]

I'm new to the party, tell us about Astrid

HI YES!!! HI!!!

so astrid is my commander (or one of them) and shes a norn engineer!

she's my youngest commander (excluding my sylvari comm who, you know, is 0) and she was about 15 when the personal story started, soon being the youngest member of the vigil to ever become warmaster. shes young and impulsive and maybe that shows in her early leadership, wanting much and not knowing anything. shes good at fighting and killing and winning, but she's also a child that never learned how to grief, thrown into a position of leadership. she forces herself into the role of the commander and adapts- pretends to adapt quickly.

but time goes on and the world gets closer to its end, you know it, the typical commander happenings. she loses more and more people that are dear to her as time goes on. both of her fathers died when she was really young, then it was the enxt father figure that died, forgal, then eir, who has pretty much raised her after the rest of her family died.

she finds comfort in dragons watch, especially taimi and braham, who are around the same age as her and, just like her, never really got to be children, instead being pushed into adventure and saving the world and losing everyone they loved.

shes tall :3 really big and huge :3 max height norn at the start of sthe story, and she keeps on growing. because of magic, mostly. shes big. by the time she hits soto she's honestly not much shorter than peitha
