I Always Saw Astrid As The Trophy Wife For Hiccup, Like He Just Takes Her On A Flight And She Is All

I always saw Astrid as the Trophy Wife for Hiccup, like he just takes her on a flight and she is all over him?????????

A step was missing, a really big one.

Straight People™: I don’t ship -insert same sex couple here-. It just felt like pandering to me :/

Me: well, I don’t ship -insert het couple here- because not only did it feel pandering, it also felt rushed and boring. Plus a lot of the writing takes away the woman’s characterization and just turned her into a trophy girlfriend to the male protagonist. :/

Straight People™: oHhHh sO you think love stories are bad, huh??? You think a woman falling for a man makes her weak huh??? Well lOOK at this one time that she punched a dude in the face! So that means her characterization is still there!! Watch the show more closely next time. GOD!

this quote was made for them

Oh my god, that's s true :O

He says it in Gift of the Night Furry, how did I never realize that????

Can we talk about the fact that Stoick still left presents for Hiccup as “Odin” for Snoggletog even when he was 15 years old? I just think that’s adorable.

some YGO doodles from a while back! 

Also Astrid is a Trophy Wife, Hiccup didn't do actually much to earn her love?

They took, as I like to say, a magical dragon ride together and BOOM she is in love.

A big step was missing you can't go from hating someone guts, and hitting this person too, to like them.

I mean what the heck?

Astrid should have stayed a shield maiden.

Hiccup should have a partner who can relate to him and understand him!

And Light Furry, no thank you we wanted badass female Night Furry!

Just bad writing in the romace departement.

The only important relantenship is the one between Hiccup and Toothless we for me are platonic soul mates.

All the movies work fine and make still sense without Hiccstrid but wouldn't work if you take away the bond that Hiccup and Toothless share.

That's why the third doesn't exist for me, in what world would Hiccup and Toothless leave each other if they fought so long to stay together?

Anyway good points OP, I hope me adding this was alright ^^

I'm not a fan of H*ccstrid, I never was. I rewatched the first movie and second movie. And I just don't..

The physical abuse Hiccup suffered because of Astrid, who he had a crush on still -boy at that point just move the fuck on she's making you her bitch, makes me uncomfortable. That kiss at the end? Not earned. The relationship, much like Sherman/Penny, is classic Mean Bitch/Dorky Good Guy.

The second? She tried to push him into being chief, when he wasn't ready for it. I read a post that said Astrid was the reason Stoic died. And I agree. She didn't listen, led the others right to Drago like an idiot, wouldn't shut her fucking mouth and because of that, and how the fuck ever Drago FOUND them as the Haddock family was finally back together for the first time in 20 something year's, Stoic died.

The third? It's glossy and gross and yeah.. too much visual grossnes, from the character models to the gross practically glowing Not Night Fury. The Not Light Fury is Astrid's dragonsona (as Stormfly was almost nonexistent), a bitch to Toothless (who had a crush on her), she hit him and attacked Hiccup. But yeah, the stupid resolution aside, the wedding was just.. kinda lame. It wasn't earned. Nope.
