I'm a huge Mericcup shipper, and I've previously explained why in this same thread, but I also enjoy Hiccstrid and Astrid herself. She's a great character, whether she's with Hiccup or not, and I can understand your frustration. I was a little off-put by their relationship when I watched HTTYD for the first time, but I'd never go so far as to say that she hates him, lol. XD I guess some people don't know how to analyze what's right in front of them, or they're just in denial, heh. I really can't wrap my head around why Astrid gets so much hate in the community. Don't try to, it's all nonsensical anyway. The logical people in the fandom know what you shouldn't hate a character just because they're involved in a rival ship.
