"Oh hey, I may not bully you but I nonetheless ignore you and consider you a liability, oh you're one upping me, you can't do that you're a wierdo/failiure/idiot, oh you tamed a dragon and took me on a non consensual ride on it, I am instantly in love with you now"

Please don't misconstrue this as me saying Astrid herself is a bad character or that this somehow makes Mericcup a better ship I'm just trying to point out in a very sardonic way that Hiccstrid in the first movie was rushed and forced.

Heck in the second movie their relationship feels natural and mutually loving and if I hadn't seen the bizaarre illogical way they'd been pushed together I might buy it but the facts remain, there was no emotional reason for her to fall in love with him in the first movie, her kissing him just because she rode on a dragon, the thing she's been trained to kill! (you'd think she'd be more conflicted) makes her seem superficial and belies her intrinsic baddassery.

I ship Mericcup in case you couldn't tell.
