(technically not a FANFIC writer but still)

I ramble a lot abt stories in discord, and thus have basically conditioned myself into being more of a writer whilst talking in discord

so I went and found the font that (to me) looks most like discords font

UniCode Sans!

I also usually change the color pallet of my document (usually I use microsoft word, but it works perfectly fine in google docs too) to mimic discord as well haha

(highly recommend this font if you’re already used to writing out loredumps in discord!!)

fanfic writers what font do you write in

i know on ao3 it's all in verdana but when you're drafting the fic in word or docs or whatever

I’m lucky that our parents didn’t spank us much after a certain age. I guess they realized it didn’t work or something. 🤷‍♀️ I’m recording my dad’s “biography” of sorts and in it he recounts how viciously their dad beat them under the guise of spanking them. My grandpa would hold them upside down by the ankle and hit them until they wet themselves. He wouldn’t stop until they actually peed their pants… so messed up.

Now a new study looking at 400,000 youths from 88 countries around the world suggests such bans are making a difference in reducing youth violence. It marks the first systematic assessment of whether an association exists between a ban on corporal punishment and the frequency in which adolescents get into fights.

regulus didn’t speak much but not because he didn’t want to. he just didn’t know how to. what the right thing to say would be, how he will be perceived, etc.

james spoke too much but not because he wanted to. he just felt the need to do so because he could never be at ease when he was quiet. he had to be louder than whatever went on in his head.

but when james and regulus were together, regulus would talk for hours on end and james would finally be able to relax and just listen.

I wanted Stanley to have his own Shanty so I wrote this :3

Okay not to try and rewrite the baseline of this AU, but consider: Hiccup was Gobber’s apprentice, yeah? Lad was helping him maintain all of the dragon enclosures and whatnot.

Well, Berk doesn’t exactly have a robust childcare system. So older kiddos had to babysit the younger ones.

And Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 3rd (Elder), was too lazy to like…convince his dad to find a real babysitter.

So what does he do?

He rigs up a cute little baby carrier, and plops that sucker next to the captive dragon cages.

Little guy gets lots of exposure to dragons, and he’s constantly within Hiccup’s sight!

What Elder, Gobber (and all of the Vikings who saw this crime against childcare and went “yeah that seems reasonable) don’t realize is that the various warbles, clicks, and screeches the dragons use aren’t…random.

Sure they *sound* random, to adult humans, who are used to speaking to other adult humans.

But to a baby? That’s just another very loud, very weird language to pick up.

So Elder, completely unintentionally, conditions his baby brother to understand Dragonese.

Younger loses it for a time, since at a certain point Stoick does realize what Elder and Gobber are doing when they’re “babysitting” his youngest boy.

But the damage is already done.

The boy is now a little too perceptive when it comes to dragons and how they communicate.

And when he learns how to read and write, he finally begins to put to pen the strangely accurate feelings he gets every time a dragon communicates.

Fortunately for him, this around the exact same time Elder blows up the red death, loses his leg, and gets a night fury as his pet. So nobody really asks too many questions about the whole “speaking to dragons thing”, and they all just go “yeah that would be really handy in dealing with dragons if we know what they’re saying”.

Fucking asshole older brothers always stealing the spotlight.

How did he learn dragonese from a species that would normally kill him on sight?? Your guess is as good as mine.

I imagine in this au he'd be a lot like Valka!
