Sketches for a Vinland modern Au @isaacclarkex-art and I have going on.

Uncle Thorkell who just invites himself everywhere. Here he is confused by Thorfinn's homework.

"W-huh?! This is some witchcraft let's go get fastfood instead! "

Thorfinn is an emo teen who has Askeladd and Bjorn as his adoptive fathers

"Stupid geezers...ugh they are so loud"

Snake is a security guard who is pretty lazy, unlike Officer Thorgil...

"Yeah yeah let me snooze and I'll look the other way"

Some AU Askeladd character sheets from the past few months...

Thinking about Thorfinn in a self-aware AU He's aware that his life is nothing more than a set of written instructions. Each volume has him doing the same thing. So why not make it a little special for you? After all, he has seen how much you enjoy the story, the fan fiction, and the edits.

Thorfinn occasionally changes lines in the story just to keep you interested. Each time you reread the page, the dialog changes. Did you just read your name? No, you must be making things up in your mind.

He finds himself on the digital version of the manga on your phone, so he plays around with your contacts and apps. You may not be able to text that toxic person anymore because he permanently blocked their IP from your phone. He may place ads where you can see them and try to interact with you for a moment. Thorfinn is just curious about who you are; he wants to know more.

S1 Thorfinn will immediately make it clear to you that he knows he is in a story. He will kill Askeladd page upon page if that's what it takes to show you the truth. He's in his world, but also yours.

Farm Arc Thorfinn will occasionally smile in the manga towards you. Some of his will to live comes back, as you haven't abandoned him. He is just a story, and you are the willing reader. You may find a rose on one page that he plucked just for you.

Beyond the Farm Arc Thorfinn is much more methodical in how he acts. He won't be brash or change the story in such a large way that you can tell. He will manipulate the written words to cheer you up after a bad day or give you advice. He will be like the wise older brother who is always there.

Just don't stop reading or enjoying the story. You wouldn't want to make Thorfinn upset, would you?

School Gang AU

Bjorn, teaching Thorfinn how to drive: Careful Thorfinn! You almost hit Askeladd

vinland saga high school au

fuck it here's my stupid crossover AU that's just an excuse to draw old man yaoi

"The feeling of hatred burns my soul I'm done with the feelings that I've known in paradox" -Paradox, Survive Said The Prophet

i have once again had to change the title of a chapter because i found a song that instantly etched itself into my brain. said chapter should b coming out tomorrow!

Absolutely had to get this thought out of my brain. Little Thorfinn and a family vacation to the beach with Thors and Thorkell 🥰😂

And not a soul to hear...

Askeladd is made aware of how he is nothing to you but a character in a story. He is your favorite character in the story. He smirks every time he sees you reading the manga or fanfiction with him as the main protagonist. He flexes the muscles underneath his breastplate and other armor during the edits that you watch, just to make you flush extra hard. He has always loved making the lads and maidens light-headed with embarrassment and flirtatiousness.

So, of course, he teases you just a little bit.

"Like what you see, love?"

You are in shock as you hear his voice through the edit. However, he has never said that in the anime. Perhaps it was a voice actor or an AI voice that said that line for some reason. You shake it off and continue on with your day. That one line is playing through your head throughout the day. Even if he isn't real, Askeladd is definitely a hot Viking man.

You end up aimlessly flipping through the manga the next night with that one in mind. It's just normal, so why did it sound so tender and loving when he said it? You open up to them when they are in Gorms village. You see Askeladd with his shirt off near a fireplace, drinking a horn of mead. He wears only his leather slacks as he leans against his bed frame with his muscles flexing. That wasn't in the story! You shut it quickly and opened it up, only to see him looking at you now with his trademark smirk on him. Over the next couple of days, you look through the manga once again, and that page has disappeared. I told you that he just loves to taunt you.

Askeladd knows that he knows, but you don't know that he is self-aware. So he does the most to be subtle enough for you not to know that he is self-aware but noticeable enough that you end up blushing and flustered by his teasing compliments and obvious flirtations. He manipulates the panels to show himself in his daily life. He'll even flirt with village women to see how you react. He always has a laugh out of panel and plots out of panel what he should do next to make you flustered.

Bjorn is very confused when Askeladd says that he is courting someone. "Who?" He shrugs his shoulders and is very secretive about being self-aware. He is possessive over you, as you are his reader... his lad/maiden/gentlethem. Askeladd is able to be considered a gentle yandere. He is gentle and flirtatious towards you, but he is still manipulative and possessive.

You may not realize this yet, but he is the love of your life, and one day God's will bless him by taking you into his world. He just knows it.

Iceland: Alright, what pizza toppings should we order?

Vinland: Anchovies and pineapple.

Helluland: I like beets!

Markland: Have you guys ever had a cheese-less pizza?

Iceland: I’m disowning all of you.

Thorfinn is so clueless to the point where it’s a good thing he doesn’t live in modern times, because I just know that he would text “KYS” and think it means “keep yourself safe”
