Thank you @hijacksecrets for tagging me in this WIP game :D (those TotK sketches tho????)
I don't have much to show but I guess a little fic snippet at the end should be good!
(Hey you. Yeah you!! Do you have a WIP you can't wait to share?? Well now you're tagged and you Must show it)
First a sketch that I've long lost motivation on..... Maybe someday I'll finish this
And some Ineffable Husbands practice! I still have a long way to go before I can call myself satisfied with these
Finally, something from the fic! (Context? You don't need that)
The four approached the children, with Jack leading the way, but they didn't seem too pleased to see a group of strangers invade their territory.
"Who are you?" asked one of the older kids, a little girl around eight with a dirty chin and braided hair.
Rapunzel, obviously fascinated by the group, bent down at her level, leaning her hands against her knees. "We're just travellers looking around."
The little girl squinted. "Alright. What do you want?"
"We need to ask some questions," Merida said unceremoniously.
Rapunzel elbowed her.
"What? I've never got anything from my brothers by being nice," Merida defended herself.
A boy pointed at her. "Why aren't you wearing a petticoat like other big girls do?"
"'Cause it makes riding my horse uncomfortable."
"Where's your horse?"
"... He ran away."
It was enough to make the children even more suspicious. The younger kids hid behind the taller ones, frightened.
Hiccup raised his hands. "We just want to ask if you’ve seen anything strange in town lately," he said, hoping to sound reassuring.
The little girl stared at him without shame. "I'm not telling you anything, Skinnylegs."
Hiccup now remembered why every time he stumbled upon children in Berk, he crossed the street.

I recently (ahem, yesterday-ish) started reading httyd fics, and i'm noticing there are a lot of Hiccup Runs Before The Final Exam, or he wasn't there to begin with (feral Hiccup ✨) but what if he doesn't start dragon training at all? Like, The Raid was his final opportunity to show that he isn't completely useless at Dragon Killing, and he butched it, snd he was close to dying again or smthng and Stoick stops hoping for Hiccup to be a Beefy Viking Killing Machine, and when they 'talk' on the stairs when Hiccup comes back from freeing Toothless, he tells him that Gobber needs some help in the smithy and that he might learn how to properly make the weapons or tools and that, yeah, there are enough vikings who fight dragons but there aren't enough weapons when they're used viciously on an almost daily basis against Tough Skin
TL;DR: Hiccup becomes a smith, doesn't do the dragon training at all, and he has a bit more time to spend with Toothless bc Gobber thinks he might feel bad about not getting a chance to Beef Out so he cuts him some slack for a little bit, and also the prosthetic might be better/go along faster bc now he's /supposed to/ use the forge, but also might not bc now he has an official job/apprenticeship
He falls further apart from the other teens, who half-think (mainly the twins say) that he died a brutal death or smthg bc now they barely see him, and only to give/get back their weapons/shields/armor when they need fixing; and he gets ever-closer to the Nightfury on his proverbial backyard
He gets good at Smithing, blablabla, meets the Mad Queen, blablabla, gets increasingly stressed thinking abt how to save his best friend, soul-brother, partner-in-crime, adoptive-dragon-parent from the Mad Queen, and Astrid starts noticing him bc he's smoother when he isn't paying attention to others at all and he really is better at smithing than anyone ever thought he'd be good at, well, anything

I love this! LOVE THIS!
First of all, yes it’s absolutely adorable that Tuffnut would react this way, but think of it this way, 3 years before this Tuffnut was part of the reason a hiccup suffered.
Forgiveness…
Tuffnut went from “Loser!😆” To “best friends🥺 w-we’re best friends?!🥲🥺🥺”
As someone who was bullied, this heals my inner child

Headcanon kind of inspired by this video (it's a YT short, so like a minute long, but the bit about the cat sleeping for like 6 hours in a go):
Hiccup works on his inventions and is his most productive while Toothless naps for long stretches.
