Empty version:

Woo! I've been on a pokemon craze lately and so I decided to make this little thing to scratch that itch! Personally, I really think Bela would have an Absol as her main pokemon companion!

Anyways, I'll see you lovelies later! Until next time, sweethearts! ✨⚡Tell me who y'all like to see next!

I've been rewatching How to Train your Dragon again, and I want to talk about Astrid.

I'll be so honest. I don't think she ever wanted to actually kill dragons. I think she wanted to protect her home and those she loved. As she leaned, growing up the way to do that was to fight.

I think this is demonstrated really well in the maze scene, too. There's a small moment after Astrid breaks the shield on Stormfly, where we see her give a brief look where she almost looks sad, maybe a little contemplative. She struck the dragon, and while most would consider that an accomplishment among the trainees, she doesn't.

This is hidden quickly when she, rightfully, so if we're gonna be honest, lays into Hiccup. Her speech leads me more to believe that she's just trying to protect her home. "Our parents' war is about to become ours." The active danger to their home is about to become their responsibility, and they need to take it seriously.

Rewinding a little bit in this scene, her actions also prove to her protective nature. She sees Hiccup on his own in the arena and instead of leaving him there distracted, she whispers out to him, bringing him to focus on what was currently happening around them. Waving him over to join her and Snotlout.

Which is why she's mad at Hiccup here. In her eyes, he was not taken this seriously. It was just proven to her when Hiccup continued to ask questions about a dragon that no one had seen or lived to tell the tale while there was an active threat against them in that arena. Astrid will protect her home and those she cares about, even if it's someone from the inside.

We see this again when Astrid corners Hiccup in the grove. She's pissed at him, suspicious because she knows for a fact no one gets as good as he did in such a short amount of time he did without something or someone. But without hesitation, the moment she spots Toothless, she pushes Hiccup out of the way, axe ready to defend them both. She never leaves Hiccup until he confirms that he befriended Toothless. In her perspective, he befriended one of the creatures actively threatening their home.

I also feel like this explains why she was easily convinced later, too. During that flight, she learns of a different side to the dragons. She also learns it's not the dragons but the Red Death, and they're just trying to survive as well. That's why she's ready to jump on board with Hiccup, why she convinces the others to join. He showed a different way, one that would permanently help their home, and get rid of the threat that plagued them for generations.

Hookfang being so careful with everyone other than Snotlout is so important. He’s a beast of a dragon, he literally goes into fights blazing without a plan. He respects strength first.

Most humans are delicate little things that he has to handle with the kiddy gloves on. He’s cautious with the twins, gentle with Hiccup, respectful with Astrid, careful with Fishlegs.

Snotlout however is his viking and he’s a good one. Made of tougher stuff or whatever. He can handle a little roughhousing. He can handle Hookfang catching fire every once in a while, he can handle being scooped and thrown and shaken, he can handle a chomp or two. More than “handle” honestly, he likes it, because he’s the same genre of feral-for-action.

We know Snotlout does, but the fact Hookfang also sees them as equals (despite all their fighting) is very dear to me
