yesssss

i'm a mericcup fan, but i tend to just not read mericcup fics anymore. it's all the same plot.

the "she's out of my league" thing is the most annoying thing ever. like, when we compare their achievements, hiccup outnumbers merida by a lot. merida is my bae but hiccup is out of her league if anything.

mericcup is just becoming an afterthought pairing. like someone spent 80% of the story focusing on jackunzel then realized they forgot about hiccup and merida and just force them together.

the jackunzel bad boy-good girl thing is horrible. jack is not a 'bad boy'. i could understand if ppl just made it a persona he has to cover up the fact that he's lonely and sad or whatever but they don't! that's literally his personality and he has no depth! and if they do make it a persona, it's just so rapunzel and jack can swap angsty backstories.

as far as side characters, lol. theyre only there to cause drama. astrid has nothing better to do in a story then to sit around and bitch about how merida stole her boyfriend. ive yet to see tooth in a fic. eugene is suddenly an abusive jerk who doesn't actually love rapunzel. elinor and fergus become abusive. the other guardians aren't even there. and the rest of the httyd gang are just there to bully hiccup.

speaking of which, hiccup's treatment inthe fandom is baaaad. like i said, both him and merida are just forgotten, though at least merida has a chance of  somewhat getting a personality. hiccup is just a loser nerd that everyone picks on. that's it. his friends don't even try to make him feel  included, there's no moment where hiccup channels his anger into becoming an evil superlord. he loses everything about him to become a nerd.

this entire little thread was spot on. if anyone finds any IC mericcup fics pls tell me bc im desperaaaateee.
