youreyesdown 3:14 am
(3:14:24 AM): that does make me wonder how
(3:14:38 AM): how would he have acted if he actually had cut out Toothless' heart instead of letting him go :|
cmdrpinstripes 3:15 am
(3:15:12 AM): if he'd pushed through the fear, he would've been ill at the feeling of the blood on his hands
(3:15:27 AM): I don't think he would've gotten to the actual pulling out of the heart
(3:15:52 AM): but I can see him getting a slash across Toothless' side
youreyesdown 3:16 am
(3:16:01 AM): b-baw Hiccup ;A;
cmdrpinstripes 3:16 am
(3:16:10 AM): then Toothless would likely bleed out
(3:16:20 AM): while Hiccup stands there fighting to keep his stomach in check
youreyesdown 3:16 am
(3:16:41 AM): Man, I'm just. Imagining Hiccup going back to Stoick with his hands covered in blood holding his knife and Stoick just being like "......fjlasjflj WHAT DID YOU DO" "D-dad...."
cmdrpinstripes 3:17 am
(3:17:00 AM): Hiccup would see the life leaving him and feel this immense, crippling regret
youreyesdown 3:17 am
(3:17:09 AM): lasdf ;A;
cmdrpinstripes 3:17 am
(3:17:29 AM): he's crumble against the rock, staring at the dragon as it becomes a corpse
(3:17:42 AM): and I want to say he'd cry ._.
youreyesdown 3:17 am
(3:17:51 AM): I wouldn't put it past him ;_;
cmdrpinstripes 3:17 am
(3:17:57 AM): he's just
(3:18:02 AM): too gentle
youreyesdown 3:18 am
(3:18:06 AM): he is
cmdrpinstripes 3:18 am
(3:18:07 AM): and it's too violent
(3:18:22 AM): god, I have to write this now
youreyesdown 3:18 am
(3:18:34 AM): and tbh, I think. if Hiccup ever actually did do it, Stoick would be kind of ......,, "horrified" isn't the right word but you know?
cmdrpinstripes 3:19 am
(3:19:00 AM): Stoick would want to be proud, but Hiccup would be this total wreck
(3:19:10 AM): he'd be in disbelief
(3:19:15 AM): ...
(3:19:21 AM): you know what, I think they'd have to find Hiccup
youreyesdown 3:19 am
(3:19:32 AM): I don't think, in the end, Stoick would be happy if Hiccup changed to be more like a real viking :|a He loves his son and he's... really used to how Hiccup is, as much as Hiccup frustrates the hell out of him
(3:19:53 AM): it'd be so drastic a change
cmdrpinstripes 3:19 am
(3:19:53 AM): for Hiccup to become a Viking, he'd have to shut down, yeah
(3:20:08 AM): in the end, it'd break Stoick's heart
youreyesdown 3:20 am
(3:20:12 AM): yes ;A;
cmdrpinstripes 3:20 am
(3:20:30 AM): we'd get another 'you don't have to go' moment
(3:20:42 AM): he'd stop Hiccup and plead with him to just be himself
youreyesdown 3:20 am
(3:20:46 AM): lajdfl
cmdrpinstripes 3:20 am
(3:20:50 AM): and Hiccup would be all
youreyesdown 3:20 am
(3:20:52 AM): that would. seriously break my heart
cmdrpinstripes 3:20 am
(3:20:55 AM): I thought this is what you wanted D<
youreyesdown 3:21 am
(3:21:07 AM): TEST DRIVE HNNNGGG
(3:21:09 AM): but yeah, I just
youreyesdown 3:21 am
(3:21:36 AM): have this image now of Hiccup just sprawled out against the rock with his hands covered in blood and Stoick just staring between him and the dragon
(3:21:45 AM): and sob my heart
cmdrpinstripes 3:21 am
(3:21:54 AM): yeah
(3:21:58 AM): he'd have the village looking for him
(3:22:03 AM): if he didn't come back that night
(3:22:24 AM): because, y'know, he's leaving
youreyesdown 3:22 am
(3:22:29 AM): right D:
cmdrpinstripes 3:22 am
(3:22:33 AM): 8| he wants to see his son off and tell him he can go to dragon training
(3:22:37 AM): and this is what he finds
(3:23:15 AM): and I think, when he rounded the boulder and saw it, that first second he'd feel full to bursting with pride
(3:23:29 AM): and then his eyes would lock with Hiccup's and it would just pop
cmdrpinstripes 3:23 am
(3:23:39 AM): because Hiccup would be tearful and broken
(3:23:50 AM): and Stoick...wouldn't know what to do
youreyesdown 3:23 am
(3:23:54 AM): flkasjdf
(3:23:56 AM): sobbing
cmdrpinstripes 3:24 am
(3:24:00 AM): *holds*
