lara5170 chapter 5 . 2/21/2019 This was a wonderful story and I am looking forward to reading more of your work. |
Guest chapter 4 . 1/14/2019 Just a comment about your a/n at the beginning; good on you for calling out the judgemental lot. As a person with a dozen piercings, as well as plans for more and a tattoo, it is nice to see someone speak out and say that the stereotype is wrong. My piercings did not prevent me from being a straight A student, nor did it prevent me from volunteering for good causes. So, from one pierced person to another, I'd like to say thank you for telling it like it is. |
Sonochu chapter 1 . 12/14/2018 So, uh, what is a head girl exactly? I have never heard of that before. Is she a valedictorian, class president, queen bee, what? I'm also a little confused as the college sounds like a highschool more than anything. Everyone has a specific lunch time, club happen 'after college', the place is only one building with a singular entrance, students leave around the same time, etc. |
BonsaiTiger81 chapter 5 . 11/17/2018 Haaaaaappppppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyy 3 |
No Account chapter 5 . 11/17/2018 Yep it did! But I rather had another chapter to Geek. HOW CAN ONE PARTICIPATE IN THE POLL? |
SquallofVIII chapter 5 . 11/14/2018 Well this was not in my "expectations" for winner, probably as I'm neither a tattoo person or good at predictions...at all haha Anyway onto the actual review, This was a fun little bonus to a great story, although I'm currently miffed with you for getting "Uptown girl" stuck in my head (It won't stop!) Side note from me, I read all the main story on a long train journey. So once I saw the upload and length, I saved this for my bus journey home to continue in similar fashion for this fic. I almost missed my stop but it was worth it :D |
ShipMistress chapter 5 . 11/14/2018 So yes… this bonus prompted me to reread the entire story. And I’m so happy I did. Love me some leather-clad, pierced, and inked rebel!cup! :D And again, I love how you’re able to flesh out a chapter like this. I mean, the suggestion was one line. Not even a full sentence. And you turned it into this adorable and wonderful insight into their future. And of course, Astrid wouldn’t simply get a tattoo just on her own. I mean, not that she can’t, but more like of course, Hiccup would go along so that they get a partner tattoo. Wedding tattoos. And the references to /their/ song made me grin like an idiot. As did the bit about him shutting up immediately when she threatened to shed her shirt without him being allowed to look. Just so cheeky and cute. :D As was the bit about holding her hand, first his offer and then ignoring her stubbornness. And the cheese end… *once again, insert heart-eyed emoji here* Jep, definitely happy! :D |
ShipMistress chapter 4 . 11/14/2018 Again, I love what you did with this chapter. There only was this vague idea of a bonus, and you turned it into a wonderful and logical addition. I mean, you already know how much I liked the beginning - the spoon karaoke, the dancing, and ‘Uptown Girl’ - so I don’t know what else to say there… But there are the other bits, like with Hiccup’s other tattoos and piercings. How his tattoos have meaning, and how he doesn’t just add random piercings for the sake of being pierced, but puts into account how they suit his life and isn’t shy to admit when something doesn’t work as he’d thought. And I know I’m late to this discussion and didn’t really want to add anything anyway... So just this: Hiccup’s reasons to alter his body are his own. And that makes them completely valid, no matter what others might think. And it’s exactly these biases “most people who are pierced and/or tattooed are…” that this story is about. No. They are not. Every person is different and worth a closer look than just how they ‘look’. But enough of that… I also liked the bit with Astrid’s parents quite a lot. They definitely are the kind of people who would give Astrid such an ultimatum. But I’m glad that they weren’t too proud to admit their mistake, even if it came pretty late and only when Astrid was ‘worth’ their attention again. But then, better late than never. And they at least made an effort to make it up to them. And the bit with Stoick… The awkward scene as he recognised Hiccup and as they entered the party. BRILLIANT! And the talk… rebuilding torn bridges is tough, but at least they’re both willing to try. |
ShipMistress chapter 3 . 11/14/2018 The latest bonus chapter reminded me that I never came around to write a ‘readable’ review for the later chapters here… So, I’ll catch up on that now I mean, I hope you know how much I love what you made with this story, but still… ;) So, yeah, the headcanon stands that those late customers are Snot and Dagur, there to take a look at Astrid’s man. I bet they loved the sight of topless rebel!cup. Then there’s the treasure map, and you have no idea how much it makes me grin every time I think about it. It’s just so cheeky and awesome, and he’d totally do that xD The fairy tail fun fair… I’m thrilled at how you fleshed that bit out! The ridiculous mixture of black and glitter, the scandalised looks, and the constant teasing. They /definitely/ needed that cold shower! xD Plus, I just adore the image of rebel!cup with a tiara! And the smut… oohh, the smut. Everything I’d hoped for and more. Teasing, and fighting, and screaming. Yep, very enjoyable! :D And the end... *insert heart-eyes emoji here* again you fleshed it out wonderfully, and rereading it all now made me just as happy as the first time. |
SquallofVIII chapter 4 . 9/14/2018 Lost track of where I'm up to with your fics but settled on this one for my train journey home. For which I am glad, this was a great story. One I will likely read again in a less shaky environment haha |
Vivi-ntvg chapter 4 . 9/13/2018 This was a nice ending :) |
Vivi-ntvg chapter 3 . 9/13/2018 This was very enjoyable ;) and punkcup in a fairy setting is hilarious :P |
martabm90 chapter 4 . 9/11/2018 Omg this bonus was so good! The feeeeels |
HeathenVampires chapter 4 . 9/11/2018 I don't feel attacked, but I am well within my rights to tell someone I think their opinion is shite just as they are within their right to express it in the first place. |
jimmix chapter 1 . 9/8/2018 Just want to say this... I love your work and tour a great writer and read 90% of your work! But please you don't need to feel attacked... He was only explaind his view point about the story and he did not like it and explained to you why. Like you said you can have your opinion but no need to attack the person for now having a different view point then you. Like they said they like your story Just not this one for the reasons he has. We don't know there story and what they saw in life. For me reading about drinking is nothing bad but I saw a life end because they never stoped drinking till it was too late. What I Just want to say I get where you are coming from but it was not a attack on you and a opinion from a person that likes most of your work. |
