who do YOU think would make for the most interesting baby daddy for snotpreg? most fun? most drama/headache-inducing?

I keep thinking of Hiccup. Like, RttE-wise. Both late teenagers, way too young to have kids, they've been away on the Edge, in the middle of a war, Hiccup is the heir and Spitelout is pushing Snotlout to "take" the position that is "rightfully theirs." So I think there's plenty of drama there.

Snotlout and Thor Bonecrusher? There's a lot of whump/drama to be found there. Can be from the non-con variety, can be from the "let his love for TB lead him astray" kind of deal. Especially interesting afterwards, when TB is gone and there's just Fishlegs.

Won't be going into Snotlout/Viggo, because that's been discussed already and it just isn't in my personal interest.

Egglout incubated so that Snotpreg could gestate

This is fucking hilarious, holy shit 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much, anon!!

[thedragon-and-hisboy]

bc how else are we gonna give snotlout periods if we don't give him a uterus? + snotlout having a uterus and being a guy with the family he's raised in has interesting character implications for him (self-image issues galore)

Very good points, anon(s)!! i love to see snotlout's non-linear path to becoming a better person in rtte, it really shows how people can't change overnight.

Snotpreg this, snotegg that, what about mitosis?

[ominousgradient]

so what you're saying is snotpreg is real and canon except there ISN'T another baby daddy to knock him up

I mean yeah canonically he's not getting any so asexual reproduction it is

[knight-says-oioioi]

*knocks on your askbox* have you heard the good word of the snotpreg hivemind?

The what.

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

snotlout being pregnant automatically grounds him + makes him prime hostage material for any hunters or other villains that make it onto dragon's edge. and they're in that whole war thing so you just know that something's gonna happen. plus like. if the baby is hiccup's. that's gonna catch viggo's interest probably. so hiccup is definitely gonna have so much to stress over!

Eh, I don't have the Dragon Riders ground themselves when they're pregnant. Hiccup is pregnant in my fic Price and he's still flying around on Toothless. In Unexpected To Say The Least, the only reason why Toothless and the other dragons tried to keep Hiccup's two feet on the ground is because that fic deals with a cryptic pregnancy, so the dragons didn't want Hiccup to get hurt and lose a baby he had no idea was even there. And in Death, Ruffnut goes along on a dangerous mission while days away from giving birth, because Hiccup was potentially in danger and she refused to stay behind.

Overall, at least when it comes to Hiccup, Ruffnut, and (especially!!!) Astrid, they wouldn't want to keep their keep feet on the ground and near their home. Hiccup would just be driven mad if he wasn't allowed to fly, Astrid refuses not to do her duties as a Dragon Rider as well and Ruffnut just simply would not want to do as she's told.

Unless she gets pampered. And I think that's where she would overlap with Snotlout.

Because, of course, the Dragon Riders would want to make sure he's safe and healthy and well-fed. Hookfang would probably fuss over him. But when it comes to grounding Snotlout, I think it'll just have to do with how much Snotlout likes to be pampered. He would insist on it and it would be a good excuse to get out of whatever chores he has to do around the Edge. (Although Hiccup would probably take him off tasks such as patrols anyways just to be safe.)

Also already did the hostage thing with Pregcup (sometimes + baby) a couple of times. So yeah, very fun whump to write about and can definitely recommend.

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

just realized that snotpreg and pregcup happening simultaneously or near-simultaneously has the potential to be sooo funny.

okay okay so some context: on ominous' blog many a baby daddy was discussed for snotpreg. one of those baby daddies that was discussed was viggo (bc smth smth sir ulgerthorpe has game).

anyway. the thought of viggo being all >:] because he got one of hiccup's riders pregnant which will surely infuriate hiccup

only to then find out that he could have gotten hiccup pregnant

like i'm sorry but the moment i thought about it i giggled because viggo would be devastated. he knocked up the wrong rider he can't believe he's done this. he tries to take hiccup's baby hostage but accidentally takes his own by accident. AND he can't even hold her right!

Viggo would be sooooooooooo mad. And him both taking the wrong baby hostage as well as not even being able to hold them right sounds in character for him. Viggo does not seem like the type of person who knows what to do with babies or children in general.

🎤 what are your thoughts on snotpreg as a concept

Well, the idea is certainly tantalizing! A lot of whump potential, h/c potential, fluff potential. Just certainly a lot of ideas. He and Pregcup should talk and hang out.

[evilwriter37]

snotpreg will never die <3

And not by my hand either!

(Like, I’m honestly just neutral about the idea, but I can definitely understand the interest in it.)

[howtowhumpyourhiccup]

hiccup is generally so responsible that him managing to knock snotlout up without realizing really says a lot about how irresponsible they were being. so there's something to guilt hiccup with!! he probably feels awful for not thinking things through because he holds himself to such a high standard (even though. leaping before he looks is a very hiccup thing to do), and then he probably feels awful about feeling awful because of the notion that he should be supporting snotlout (they both need support here)! the drama would be immense!!

The thing about Hiccup is that's he's very responsible with everyone and everything that doesn't involve him. Which is how he can scold the Riders about taking certain chances, but can throw himself off a cliff just to prove that an invention works. (Also a logic I like to implement with Pregcup)

So yeah, to find out that he didn't just drop the ball on himself (which he honestly couldn't care less about, but that he did it with someone he loves? That would just kill him inside.

*knocks on your askbox* would you like to hear about the snotpreg hivemind?

*opens askbox* Oh, haha! Don't you worry about that, I'm good friends with @evilwriter37 I see (almost) all of his answered asks appear on my dash, I'm well aware!

Saw snotpreg and came running

"What do you do if you get a merman pregnant?"

The question jolts Astrid from her concentration, sending her axe flying left and down into the dirt halfway to the target. She shoots Hiccup a glare for the crime of interrupting her as she goes to retrieve the axe, only to stop short when his words finally register.

Hiccup's staring at her almost expectantly, patiently waiting for Astrid's response. Well, maybe not that patiently, if the way his hands are fidgeting is any indication. Still, Astrid's brain takes a moment to fully parse the implications of his statement, gears spinning in several directions before she finally speaks.

"How." It's not spoken much like a question; more of a demand, really.

Hiccup winces, shoulders doing that nervous little hop as he explains. "So you know the merman that beached himself on the Edge all those months ago? The one that keeps popping up again?"

Astrid's eyes narrow. "Are you talking about Snotlout or Dagur?"

"Snotlout." Hiccup confirms. "Well, anyway, he and I may or may not have fucked on the beach three weeks ago and he may or may not have resurfaced this morning."

"And he may or may not be pregnant." Astrid finishes for him. "If you're asking for my okay to fuck Snotlout, it's kind of late for that, isn't it?" At Hiccup's wince, she continues, "Not that I mind! Snotlout's okay." Mostly because he'll never have with Hiccup what Astrid has. "I'd be a hypocrite to get on you for having sex with a mermaid, Hiccup." Thoughts of Heather shoot unbidden in her mind, and she fights the rising heat in her stomach down to focus on the current dilemma.

Hiccup sighs. "Oh right, I forgot about you and Heather." He thinks for a moment, then chuckles lightly. "Guess we're a regular pair of fishfuckers, huh?"

Astrid snorts. "Yeah, but at least I didn't get my fish pregnant." She teases. "How's that even work?" Snotlout's a guy, she's pretty sure... then again, Scauldy's a male scauldron who carried his as-of-yet-unknown suitor's eggs until they hatched. "Oh, is it like scauldrons?"

"...maybe?" Hiccup tries, "I didn't really ask questions; he showed up, told me he was pregnant, showed me the baby bump, and then left." The mer that frequent the Edge have always been fairly flippant, easily able to come and go as they please. Showing up to deliver a message or say hello and then leaving isn't out of the ordinary. The riders are still in the process of learning about mer culture and biology where the mers are willing to share, so Astrid can't tell if it's normal that Snotlout didn't stick around after making the announcement. She couldn't even really theorize how Snotlout feels about the pregnancy; she and Snotlout don't talk as often.

"Then..." Astrid thinks back to Hiccup's original question as she finally picks up her axe, "ask him how he feels about it next time he shows up. If he needs anything. You know," she loosely points at Hiccup with the axe, "be a gentleman and take responsibility."

Hiccup nods. "Okay, yeah, that makes sense."

Astrid scoffs. "Of course it does, Hiccup, I came up with it."

This is utterly fantastic, omg! Polyamorous Hiccstrid! Calling each other “fishfuckers”! Pregnant mer Snotlout! I had to try very hard not to cackle at “at least I didn’t get my fish pregnant”. Holy shit, what a line!

Anyway, 10/10. Thank you for the entertainment, anon! Wonder how long it’ll take Snotlout to show himself to Hiccup again.

The best side consequence of snotpreg has gotta be Spitelout disowning Snotlout, really good way to effectively cut off ALL of Spitelout's influence in favor of the friends that help Snotlout pick up the pieces after the disownment. Very "Brick by Brick" by Roland Faunte vibes imo

Even if Spitelout disowns him that doesn't cleanly sever the emotional ties Snotlout has to his dad or erase the influence he has had on him over the years, not to mention that once he moves back to Berk Snotlout would be still be living on the same tiny Island with his father, a father who now has publicly rejected him and taken his family name. He'd still run into him, still be forced to see him at public gatherings, not just Spitelout but all the other Jorgensons who he now could no longer call family even tho that name meant so much to him.

I guess it would be bittersweet, maybe an opportunity for the baby daddy step up and offer for Snotlout to join their family and take on their second name instead but being disowned would definetly leave Snotlout with a deep emotional scar, in rtte we see him slowly detaching himself from his father's influence while still yearing for his approval, being publicly cast out like that would end up setting Snotlout back in that progress imo though i guess it would save Spitlout from any direct contact with her grandad so that's good

In the end the final product of disownment would be a Snotlout who doesn’t talk with his father at all after being rejected and humiliated, vs a non disowned Snotlout who had to learn to keep Spitelout at a healthy distance, which considering how willing he is to tolerate bad treatment from other would probably be an important lesson to learn for him

I'm not saying he wouldn't be disowned for getting knocked up and i can see where you're coming from anon, it just wouldn't necessary be good for him

[ominousgradient]

circling back to snotpreg,, what do you think is the worst, weirdest, and the most "normal" cravings he gets

I can see him craving smth savory, maybe onions? One night he has a breakdown, he just feels completely overwhelmed with the pregancy and fears being a parent, after crying his eyes out Snotlout goes to the club house for a snack but since he doesn’t feel like making a dish he ends up just eating a whole onion, developing a craving for them in the process since the strong flavor serves to distract him from his thoughts and thereby ends up calming his nerves. Now when the riders are having a meeting, chances are Snotlout is (loudly) snacking on an onion. also just overly salty dishes and anything pickled, maybe he asks the twins to make him those salt encrusted fish from the vacay episode

For normal cravings i'd say strawberries and blueberries, lots on them too. Snotlout can't go on flights so the Snotlout Fruit Rations have to be added to their general supply orders and the others have to remind him to divide them up because they aren't restocking until next wednesday and no one is going to fly out just to get him his stupid snacks (he always ends up finishing his berries early and someone always ends up getting him some more)

[evilwriter37]

aaaaaaaaand snotpreg is back. shoulda known it'd come and go in waves

Lol, I cannot tell if you’re annoyed or not.
