THE LAST KINGDOM: SEVEN KINGS MUST DIE (2023)

vikings + fave bts pics (2/?)

Hello.<3 I noticed you started writing for The Last Kingdom and I’m just wondering which characters you’re willing to write for?

The question is who wouldn't I write for lol. No, okay I'll give you a list who I write for (warning, it's long):

Uhtred (obviously)

Queen Iseult (she will always be a queen to me, no matter what!)

Finan

Sihtric

Osferth

Brida

Lady Aethelflaed

Eadith

Leofric

Ragnar

Sigtryggr

Father Beocca (do not judge me ... there's just something so wholesome about him)

Aldhelm

Steapa

Aelfwynn

If you really want something written for a character, I will probably do it tbh. The Last Kingdom deserves more fanfics and hype. It's truly a masterpiece. Up there with GOT & HOTD.

🌺💜SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL ATHELSTAN FANS. KEEP THE GAME GOING 💜🌺

This is the first time I've seen this askgame but this is SO cute ngl, I love that our common love for this man creates such fluffy asks!!

ragnar tying sticks in the shape of a cross for æthelstans grave, even though he’s a pagan, while crying over the fact that his god would object to them reuniting in death.

you’re sick and twisted if you think this isn’t the biggest, most passionate and emotional cry of love ever.

I'm convinced everyone who hyped up Vikings so hard was just lying for attention bc there's no way y'all saw these insufferable characters, the repetitive storylines, and horrible pacing and went yes, that is the greatest show of all time I love it & I want everyone to know of it

I like to believe we as a society are better than that

Viking, 9th century to 11th century

The Viking were the seafaring peoples of Scandinavia in the early medieval period. They were skilled metalworkers and attached a high importance to precious metals. Large hoards of coins and gold and silver jewellery have been found in Scandinavia and across northern Europe. Gold jewellery showed status and success as a trader and a raider and was worn by men and women. It could be reused as currency - for much of their history, Vikings did not have a settled currency but would use other currencies such as Islamic or Byzantine coins or pieces of gold or silver jewellery hacked into pieces and valued according to their weight. A Viking leader rewarded and retained the loyalty of his followers by gifts of gold or jewellery and by sharing the spoils of raids. Giving jewellery was both a concrete reward and an acknowledgment of the recipient's place in the social hierachy. The saga of Egil Skallagrimson describes the battles which Egil fought on behalf of the British king Aethelstan and states his pride was only satisfied by being given both the seat of honour at a feast but also a gold arm-ring, symbolically presented on the tip of a sword. Aethelstan was thereby fulfilling his role as good lord and 'ring-giver'.

often i’m surprised to find that tumblr’s ‘for you’ page actually shows me a lot of good quality posts i enjoy and want to reblog, but then sometimes it misses the mark so much it pisses me off. earlier there was an anti sansa post on there (i literally adore her, what the fuck?) and i just found an aethelstan x female!reader fic on there, too.

it’s tlk aethelstan, you know, the king who’s explicitly gay and who experiences tremendous amounts of guilt for definitely not being even remotely interested in women. not vikings athelstan, who is canonically into women, but very-much-100%-gay tlk aethelstan. i’m just absolutely gobsmacked.

VIKINGS— Ragnar Lothbrok and Athelstan

‘No slaughter yet was greater made e’er in this island; Of people slain before this same, with edge of a sword.’

The Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937 between Æthelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin, Constantine II, King of Scotland, and Owain, King of Strathclyde. The battle is often cited as the point of origin for English nationalism: historians such as Michael Livingston argue that "the men who fought and died on that field forged a political map of the future that remains [in modernity], arguably making the Battle of Brunanburh one of the most significant battles in the long history not just of England, but of the whole of the British Isles."

Hiya! I'm pairing you with... Aethelstan from Vikings!

Athelstan is incredibly patient and incredibly caring. He had a drive to take care of people and ensure that they have everything they need. I can see him reading to you a lot, if you'll let him. He can also be a very touch-centric lover. He likes to hold you, touch your hair or your cheek. He likes to keep you close when you're around. He's not much a fan of big dogs, but if they're raised from puppies around him then he's much more okay with them.

there needs to be a study into how the vikings franchise keeps utilizing homoerotism in its key lead dynamics and then pulls out the “nah nevermind here’s an undeveloped opposite sex romantic arc that wont matter bc they’ll get killed off anyways soon but we had to keep things from getting too gay”
