"No, no, no, stop. Please, don't cry."

"I told you-- I told you not to go."

"You did...but you know I had to."

"You can be so stupid sometimes."

"...Guess I'm not all there, huh?"

"..."

It was a long and strange train of thought that led me to the idea for this image. It was in part coming off of the last image I did, then thinking about Ruffnut saying she wanted a scar in the movie, then me wanting to tackle the situation in an irregular way, switching the tables so that the person not physically hurt or scarred seems more emotionally affected by it. I don't even really know what happened to Ruff, it was just this moment that popped in my head. And don't worry, it'll probably be self-contained, so Ruffnut won't be missing an arm every time I draw her from now on. ;p

And I obviously don't know anything about how to apply bandages, so Astrid's doing her best. ^^;

Textures for BG form a myriad of sources that I didn't keep track of. Sorry!

EDIT: Fixed Ruff's face a little. And I've just noticed this is the fourth HTTYD fanart whose title starts with the word 'not.' And it hasn't been on purpose, I swear! XD

Aww, Ruff, hunni, there's a certain point from which you don't have to be so...Ruffnut. I love this and really wanna know more! Might you be doing a follow-up to this at some stage? If not...can I? This is just so epic, seriously!!

W-what......it's so sad and so beautiful :tears:. I just, I mean EVERYTHING is just so beautiful. The premise, the way you took something so small and innocuous and made it your own, the seriousness of her injuries contrasting to her attitude, serious Astrid getting so emotional, the care and thought put into the actual picture, the way emotions and feelings are portrayed though body language, and that last pun, the title of the whole thing that just sets the entire mood of a kind of somber, macabre, gentleness and rising of awkward feelings. I mean, this picture and the few words themselves just stir so much emotion within me, I just.....:tears: I don't know, this needs a full romantic story to go with it something...I just...favorite. :cries: Good job.
