All I can say is, it's not Astrid and Merida fighting over Hiccup, it's the shippers themselves. I'm not saying all shippers, just a vast majority. Just like it's not Rapunzel and Elsa fighting over Jack, it's the fans who think their ship is better than the other.

In all honesty, I can see Astrid and Merida being friends. Sure, they're both athletic and competitive but they're gonna fight along side by side.
