hi i'm the anon who sent the victorian era england atreboda au idea and wow!! i'm so glad you all liked it, thanks for the nice comments 🥺🖤🖤🖤 i'm gonna have to think how to continue this, but for now i can imagine angrboda's busy routine.

waking up early morning, because gryla comes in with maids whilst talking loudly and opening up all the curtains in her room, wearing a very heavy gown (petticoats on petticoats...), attending piano lessons 🎹 with a strict russian teacher, then it's tea time with people she doesn't care about (because they're all eccentric, arrogant, and gaudy), after that it's time for ballet practice 🩰 and the instructor is a little weird, but angrboda prefers her over the piano teacher actually.

there's also singing lessons 🎶 equestrian classes 🐎 painting (something she likes, but not when she is forced to draw the same thing over and over per the teacher's demands), etiquettes on how to be a proper lady (walking straight with books stacked on her head 📚), and of course lunch/dinner with the duke/duchess/marquise/countess/baroness whoever gryla invites for the day. the ladies often tell angrboda about their own sons, in hopes of piquing her interest in them. well, if their sons really want my hand then why don't they come see me themselves?! angrboda thought. and she was right. besides, how could she be interested in a fellow she hasn't seen or has no chemistry with?

angrboda doesn't want any of this in her life. it wasn't that she chose aristocracy, rather it was chosen for her. by her own grandmother. if only she could free herself from her own fate... will that day ever come?

my poor angrboda getting worked to the bone 😭😭 her freedom will come, yes? 🥺

HI I WANTED TO COMPARE THE ITALIAN DUB W THE ORIGINAL SO I MADE THIS 🔥

Pls I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ☹️

I don't know if you've watched it (if not please give it a try, personaly one of my favorite movies - it's really cute and pretty!) but in a modern setting I imagine Atreus and Angie would be obsessed with WolfWalkers

With what im already seeing, i can see what you mean lol

Ok ok imagine this: During Atreus' travels - Angrboða is casually spending her time painting in Ironwood, when suddenly a realm tear appears, Atreus jumps out and gives her a quick smooch. And before she can even turn around he's gone.

Now Angie doesn't get scared because he does this quite regularly, but the first time he did it he ended up with paint in his face. She then spend the next hour apologizing "Loki I didn't know it was youuu 😫"

LMFAOOOOOO THIS IS SO CUUTTTTEEEE 😭😭

Quick clarification about the last message I sent about why I like Angrboda. I totally agree she is a badass in her own way, the non-traditional way as you said. What I was referring to about the first fanfics about her is that she was depicted as this stone cold axe-wielding warrior who barely showed any emotion besides... seriousness? Basically no emotions.

I kinda understood why she was written like that with the little info about her in the myths and the story of the GoW games, but she was basically like a female Kratos... Not to mention she was supposed to be the same age as Atreus, a teenager. It's very unrealistic. But hey, it's fanfiction, everyone has their own preferences in characters. But this "traditional" badass type of character was never my cup of tea.

The Angrboda we got in GoW ragnarok is the type of badass I personally enjoy the most. The type of person that despite going through a lot of pain and problems, they still manage to remain kind and gentle instead of becoming bitter and resentful. It's a kind of strenght that I personally find very admiring and more important than physical strenght. Sadly, this kind of strenght is very underrated, sometimes even mistaked for weakness.

Anyway, that's why we must appreciate Angrboda! She's the type of female character that is desperately needed but modern media seems to avoid for some reason...😭😭😭

Anon i know what you meant 😭 i think jrpg’s are more likely to do stuff like that than western ones! And i definitely agree that everyone has different interpretations, it is a little odd to have her act in that “kratos”-like way esp what we have now 😭

Wanna know one of the reasons I love Angrboda so much? She's totally not what I was expecting when I knew she would be in Gow Ragnarok!

First of all, her name means "She who brings grief", sounds like a pretty scary name, like someone who brings bad news, or IS the bad news, you know what I mean?

Then there is her role in the myths. She's known as the Mother of monsters, a giantess who was believed to be as malevolent as Loki, with whom she created the monsters the Allfather was so afraid of.

With all this info, anyone would expect Angrboda to be this scary witch of the woods kind of lady, someone you don't want to mess with, and if Santa Monica adds her to a God of War game, it's easy to assume she could also have warrior qualities. I've read a few GoW fanfics that included Angrboda before Ragnarok was announced and most of them wrote her as this badass warrior, incredibly strong for her age and sometimes almost as stoic as Kratos... geez.

But what did Santa Monica do with her? They turned her into the sweetest disney princess girl that loves animals and painting and throws coloful powders at her enemies. Not what I was expecting, but I'm not complaining, she became one of my favorite characters!🥺❤️❤️❤️

Cant even blame you for thinking about her like that in the first place 😭 sms knew what they were doing when creating her and the funniest thing is that she IS a badass! Just in a “non-traditional” way lol heres a video of her and kratos fighting together its hilarious how different their powers are but its cute that shes fighting with her father in law 😩❤️

OH OH WHAT ABOUT THIS ATREBODA AU I JUST CAME UP WITH because i'm currently listening to both delightful and brooding classical music. these strings are making me feel things. (bars 🔥)

victorian era england, a son of a working class man (kratos is either a blacksmith in this or does manual labor), walking in a park with his two dogs (speki and svanna! <3). he is there with his sketch book, the park is where he can find inspiration & draw in peace. suddenly he comes across a shiny pearl necklace. someone has lost this, but who could it be? he looks around and sees a young lady, a worried expression etched on her face. she is pretty, has her hair tied up, a fan in her hand, wearing a beautiful gown with bows and, by jove, pearl accessories! that must be hers!

or so atreus thinks. he has never talked to anyone of the aristocracy before, let alone be in the presence of them! but he works up the courage to ask her about the necklace in his hand. it's now or never. "e-excuse me, my lady... is this yours by any chance?"

she looks up, relief washing over her. "yes, it is! oh thank you so much for finding it! i thought i was done for..." it's a prized posession, the set angrboda has on is her mother's. she would have been heartbroken if she had truly lost it, but thnkfully there's a hero around. a lanky and akward hero, but that's not important. she then asks him to help her put the necklace on, which atreus does with shaky hands and shallow breathing (he tried desperately to hide his nervousness. but it worked!).

angrboda notices the sketchbook atreus has. she reveals that she loves to draw as well, she does it often in her free time! atreus feels happy to have find someone who shares the same interests as him, and they both sit on the bench. they talked to each other for a long time, quite animatedly too.

there's no evil stepmother in this story. there is, however, a bitter and misguided grandmother. gryla wonders where the girl has gone off to now. it is time for her singing lessons and preparations for the banquet. but she spots angrboda talking to a mere lower class boy. what is this girl doing? speaking/associating with the common folk? why is she adamant in becoming a laughing stock, like her mother was? her mother's union to her father shook the aristocratic world. it was only a miracle that gryla has gotten a second chance with angrboda. there is no way she will let her tarnish the family name. gryla must set up suitors for her, dukes, earls, barons, whoever it must be! all so she can forget all about that boy and not ruin her chance (even though she's in the wrong. very much so.)

DUN DUN DUUUUNN. TO BE CONTINUED. MAYBE.

fire nation kataang my cutiepies

Atreus appreciation post 

God of War

forget ireland, this is why atreus has to travel to north africa or middle east so he can bring back some soap and perfumes. behold! now all of them finally smell like jasmine and not troll cheese. atreus gives the best ones to angrboda of course 😌 his girl gets the best gifts

fun fact: an arab traveler by the name of ahmad ibn fadlan visited the volga vikings and he was literally APPALLED by their lack of hygiene. even going as far saying that they were "filthiest of God's creatures" (you have to remember that ahmad's people wash themselves 5 times a day and hygiene is actually a big part of their religion LOL)

Atreus is gonna be such a romanticccc 😍🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺PLESGGFSFFX like everyone wants “accuracy” until its smth like smelling bad 😭😭😭😭

^what I've always wanted (papa) to do 🤣

Do you guys think he eats the trolls sometimes and they get stuck in his teeth? 🤔

Giantess of Ironwood

I like to think that after so much time together, Atreus began to adopt Sindri's hygiene habits. He doesn't care about getting dirty but he will take a long bath afterwards.

X: wow that's a lot of animal blood.

Atreus: Yeah, hold up, I have to clean my nails.
