Whenever I see a post about Chief Hiccup (or watch Httyd 2, for that matter) I'm always reminded of how Stoick did not want his son to become chief the way he did.
Maybe it's because Stoick saw his reluctance to succeed him, maybe it's something Stoick went through himself when he became chief and he wanted to spare his son the pain, but he had a plan. He was going to retire. Step down and let Hiccup take over in his stead. That way, his father could ease him into this insanely big responsibility, could be there to guide him, help him with the tough stuff he knows Hiccup might have trouble with.
Except, then he dies at Drago's hands. And Hiccup ends up thrusted into a position a feared to be in. And yeah, he does it mostly alone, just as his father did before him, which is exactly what Stoick was hoping to avoid.

The killing gas in Burrow's End reminded me so much of a 1993 movie called Once Upon a Forest where a truck containing hazardous chemicals crashes near a forest and the fumes make the baby animal characters who live there sick and they have to go on a quest to find a cure. The scenes where you watch the slow, inexorable movement of the poisonous air into the forest towards the animal characters who didn't and couldn't understand what was happening was so so horrifying to me as a child

My dogs my beloved dogs!! The first line of beastial spirit vine soldiers from my LoK AU. Created by Baatar when during experimentation, he discovered the spirit energy after being condensed causes the vines to react strangely to machinery and processed material. Turning the inorganic to organic.
These soldiers are comprised of spirit vines that have mutated in reaction to the condensed activated spirit energy and adhered themselves to the suits. Similar to "mimics" in a way, they can conceal their mouths fully so they're indistinguishable from human soldiers, though very astute earthbenders may notice they neither breathe nor have a heartbeat.

cursed modern human garashir au where ds9 is an old ruined resort that was built by some evil rich motherfuckers years ago and was recently seized back by the native people whose land and economy it had destroyed. it's since been converted into an affordable apartment complex sort of situation (just... with a pool, bar, restaraunts, spa and tennis court built into it lol) and is run by sisko and kira. since it is rundown, odo gets hired back on to keep kids from further vandalizing it and o'brien's team gets hired on from the nonprofit organization sisko works for to fix the place up best he can. dukat is the old overseer of the property who drops by sometimes to remind them he and his hospitality business still exist, and my, what a fine job they’ve done renovating the place! it’s actually nice again. sure would be a shame if someone bought the property out from under them (lmao jk kardasi hospitality and starfleet are friends! no hard feelings. they should collaborate on some future projects, actually).
garak's a sad bitch who just lost his amazing morally dubious nepotism career at obsidian corp. (which absorbed kardasi hospitality) and moved into the complex just for the comfortingly familiar architecture. even tho he's not on the payroll for his (secret) dad's evil exploitative company anymore he's still vital to its continued efficiency and is an absolute sucker who still does unpaid shady work for them from time to time. so no one in the complex likes him, but also he's a very pleasant and fastidious queer man who pays his rent on time and has completely taken over the laundry room, to the benefit of everyone, because all the machines actually work now, it's always tidy, and there's a variety of forever-stocked detergents and soaps available, plus an iron?? there was not an iron before garak moved in. which is how it eventually becomes public knowledge that garak has an online tailoring and fashion design business, and he's actually pretty good at restoring clothes that get fucked by the washing machine or eaten by rats, soooo. yeah. they let him stick around.
meanwhile julian's a hot doctor who works at the local hospital and is absolutely buried in student debt that he refuses to let his moderately-wealthy family help him with because they're awful people who had him on illegal drugs without his knowledge since he was a little kid. they were afraid he had something wrong with him, apparently. he was too far behind in his class or w/e. they couldn't handle having a kid with special needs, so they pumped him full of dangerous experimental stimulants. only reason he found out is because he snuck off somewhere to start transitioning and had some tests done that revealed all the crazy shit in his system. he's insanely lucky he didn't end up in the hospital with seizures or fall into a coma or worse. not to mention his parents still dead-name him left and right over a decade later. it's a whole mess and a huge secret, because he technically has a history with illegal drug abuse, and it's a partially ongoing history because going cold turkey off drugs he's been on since he was six is Not A Good Idea, so??? fuck his life, actually. he lives in the apartment just down the hall from garak's.
garak hates the country his dad's company expanded into and would like nothing better than to move back home, but it's not really logistically possible. especially since everyone there hates him cuz his (secret) dad's company is a mega-corporation that's completely taken over everything p much and is a complete monopoly nightmare, and he did... kinda... work there for decades. no one would hire him if he went back. it would be an extreme conflict of interest, since everyone wants to stay on tain's good side, including garak. but starfleet is interested in him, so he does some begrudging contract work for them sometimes, but he really has no desire to join them. he just wants to resume his old career and reclaim his assets.
julian's hospital is owned by starfleet, tho. his scholarship into medical school was also from starfleet, in fact--they're the only reason he was able to (sort of) afford becoming a doctor at all. so he's a big fan, even tho they are pretty hardcore anti-drugs in a way that's made him have to forge medical records and risk serious legal charges and prison time. julian comes across as a squeaky clean medical professional and an adorable idiot, but he's intimately familiar with back-alley dealings. which is kind of how he ends up helping garak with his drug addiction, and keeps said addiction off the record.
but basically, how it begins is julian likes to support the local restaurants in the complex and garak finds him there and thinks he's gorgeous, and it proceeds as expected. they fuck nasty and become codependent. ten years later, julian lives in a modest house with garak in his home country and garak irons all his old university hoodies.

I'm a little bored, so here's an unnecessary:
List Of Duos I'd Like To See Fight/Interact In JJK :D
Hiromi Higuruma and Nanami Kento (my two handsome men in suits! They would have been best friends if Gege was someone nice T-T)
Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki (UNFAIR WE DON'T HAVE THEM TWO FIGHTING TOGETHER!!!! IF NOBARA IS ALIVE, SHE NEEDS TO FIGHT MEGUMI AGAINST SOME KENJAKU SHIT)
Choso Kamo and Aoi Todo (YUJI'S BROTHERS FIGHTING TOGETHER FOR THEIR WELL-BEING!!!)
Yuta Okkotsu and Hakari Kinji (I SWEAR! These two need to fight together! The two strongest after Satoru Gojo need to battle together!!!!)
Suguru Geto and Megumi Fushiguro (shikigami/curse users who are not afraid to mix it up in battle, fierce when it comes to protecting the ones they love, they would have insane battle chemistry!!!!)
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto (A flashback, new scene, filler, I don't make the rules. I just want to see what the two of them would be like fighting together T-T)
Megumi Fushiguro and Choso Kamo (YES!!!! CHOSO WOULD LOVE HIM, I'M SURE!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE WAY CHOSO PLAYS HIS HAND ON MEGUMI'S SHOULDER AND MEGUMI EASILY ACCEPTS IT)
Hiromi Higuruma and Nobara Kugisaki (THE KING AND PRINCESS OF HAMMERING!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME AS FATHER AND DAUGHTER!!!)
Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin (I KNOW THEY ALREADY FIGHTED TOGETHER IN JJK 0 BUT I WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN NOW!!! I WANT TO SEE THEM KICKING MEAN ASS AND BEING AMAZING TOGETHER!!!)
In terms of interaction, the ones I most wanted to see were:
Tsumiki Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori (She would love him, no one can deny that. Gege, you took away the gold we could have had! Megumi deserved to see the two most important people in his life together!)
Hiromi Higuruma and Ieiri Shoko
Suguru Geto and Nanami Kento (It's so unfair that I didn't see them have more interactions besides that morgue scene)
Satoru Gojo and Hakari Kinji and Kirara Hoshi (I'm interested in how Satoru would be a teacher to his rebellious students)
Fumihiko Takaba and Ryoumen Sukuna (can't deny this would be funny)
