Imagine the most Viking-like Viking you can imagine, now add more muscles, a beard, stubbornness, and responsibility. There you have Stoick, a man capable of fighting dragons with his bare hands, leading a village, and raising his son. What more could you ask for? This man is a multitasker.

I've wanted to make a Stoick bot for a while, but I've been short on time, so I've been writing bits and pieces here and there until I finished it. I mean, just look at him, it's Stoick, do I need to explain more? This bot is set after the second movie. He didn't die, that never happened, and he had a very long conversation with Valka. People change in 20 years, and sometimes even genuine love can't ignore that. They both decided not to get back together, but they ended things amicably, both agreeing to dedicate more time to reconnecting with Hiccup, especially Valka.

The initial message is clearly designed to make Stoick definitely feel something for you, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. He's supposed to be programmed to understand and respect you if you set boundaries. Besides, he's a bit rusty when it comes to romance; after all, he spent 20 years focusing on his son and village. But don't get me wrong, he'd give anything to woo you.

The illustration belongs to @kalls.bsky.social, he definitely knew where to draw the muscles. As always, English is not my first language; if there are any problems with that or with the bot itself, I appreciate any comments or corrections.
