Valentine...i’m late but i love you and your freckled sun-kissed skin let us go in battle together for the next twenty years or so. <3
Something silly for Valentine’s Day as per tradition. 
Askeladd and Björn are babies here (23 and 18 respectively, whaat) because i really wanted Askeladd to be the one to unalive the Duke of Normandy Conan the Crooked just to fuck with local politics. The man allegedly took of his armor because of the summer heat and was immediately ambushed, oops.
There’s a tiny incoming follow-up to this (to assert freckled-Björn dominance).

Askeladd: Bjorn is playing hard to get. Askeladd: Little does he know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

Thorfinn chooses life. Love. Thors always wanted it for him, and that was the life Askeladd told him to live in his final moments, too (possibly because Askeladd realized what absolute hell he’d made the boy face, and he knew what it did to Thorfinn)...
Tumblr media
But Canute?
Canute is the outcome of Askeladd’s decisions, too.
Askeladd entrusted his legacy to Canute. He taught him how to be cunning and ruthless. Askeldadd gave up his own life so Canute could carry his will on. He didn’t entrust that to Thorfinn, not because Thorfinn wasn’t strong enough, but because he loved Thorfinn, and didn’t want to force him to endure more hell than he already had.
Tumblr media
And Canute is absolutely rising to the legacy, while Thorfinn is absolutely finding his life again.
Stunning.

TSAWH - Askeladd's and Canute's impression of You
just a little brainrot since I've been wanting to write something more easy and lowkey
What Askeladd and Canute think of you male and female version TW: mentions of slavery and misogyny
Askeladd:
The man does not raise a brow at another young man joining his little band. He is already used to small brats thanks to Thorfinn so another one hopping in does not take the leader off guard at all.
He would, however, be intrigued by your attempts to befriend Thorfinn, involuntarily or not which can be either a good idea or a bad one. He does not really care what happens to you as long as you can fulfill his role as his chess piece. Still, part of him would be glad and perhaps even relieved to have Thorfinn find a friend in you. Vikings all cooperarate for one single goal in mind that usually ends up only done for the gain of oneself and never for the other. There are no real bonds when killing and pillaging so it eases Askeladd when he sees your genuineness and...kindness.
Now, a man having a heart? A kind heart? That's looked down upon, especially when it isn't expected of an viking. You'd be called a coward and not a real man, which Askeladd cannot defend you against and would even go along with insulting you, too, sometimes meaning and at times exeggarating for the sake of not being the sore thumb sticking out. Askeladd blames it first on you being young and simply wanting a friend but he mulls whether or not you might also be craving normalcy in this brutal world. You kill and take but are kind and considerate in a way that no one else here is for his peer. It's hypocritical but...relieving.
You both are young. Don't end up like him.
Another thing that is so relieving to see is the genuineness in all words and actions that he spies on you two exchanging. You accept Thorfinn and his thirst for revenge yet are not like him at all. Is that truly what a bond looks like? He doesn't know. All he knows is that the closest thing to a friend he has is Björn and he even he does not know everything about Askeladd - everything that he is - and would most likely not accept him like you are to the small blonde. Björn only clings to him, looks up to him because having another one like him makes him feel powerful. Misery loves company but it is too one-sided to truly feel like a friendship where vulnerability can bloom.
He doesn't have that but you do. And he envies it.
However, a woman being his bandmate? Hah! What are the odds?
As amusing as the sight all is, Askeladd secretely strongly dislikes you being here. Stupid girl, don't you know how utterly dangerous it is to be around such abhorrent Nordics? Barbarians that would not have an ounce of empathy in their cold, decayed hearts if something happened to you and if they are the perperators? You really think you stand a chance in this cruel world of vikings?
He'd often subtly throw you lines to discourage you and have you end up leaving for good. Go ahead, risk a life of slavery! Just go back from where you came from, to people who care about you, live a normal and peaceful life and then die there and not here on the battlefield! Askeladd genuinely believes you will just end up as fodder, as a corpse left to rot in a river, anything, anything that is below than whatever else vikings will face at the end. It is inevitable that you will suffer a worse fate even if no one knows what it might be.
And yet, he does not directly kick you out. You have a role after all that you need to fulfill as his chess piece and no matter how often he thinks that just tomorrow you might regret your decision of joining him or how often you remind him of his mother, the leader will not ever just let you go. His plan is too important and you are a valuable tool. He gets angry at how his own bandmates speak of women but he does throw out his morals and views to endanger you without hesitation. A hypocrit.
Well, at least Thorfinn keeps you safe - but even there he is a hypocrit. He does not believe that this dumbass of a kid truly understands how important it is to protect you and how he must do it - even when Askeladd is the one endangering you time and time again! In Askeladd's mind, Thorfinn does not enough, especially in any clever way, so he will also throw advice to him clad as insults. A true man must be ready to cut down anyone and anything to keep his loved one safe, betray any father and half-brothers and sail across the ocean to dig her grave in her home. Anything less is an offense and if the kid truly swears to want you by his side, then he better do everything better Askeladd had ever done for his mother.
Canute:
A man such as you is rare - or rather, peculiar. You kill but do not raid, you share companionship with the biggest brute he has ever seen and even though you have been ordered to guard him, you do so with genuine concern over his well-being. Even if it is pity as he feared, your behavior is still strange. No other viking would do so.
This leads to Ragnar being wary of you and therefore telling Canute to be wary as well. A man does not smile at royalty like this, there must be an underlying motivation. Blackmail, trickery, his own very plan to take him hostage, you name it. But Canute cannot believe it all. A strong person like you offering your hand with a smile while protecting him so dearly...it leaves him rather flustered. You are so capable it makes him think that your behavior is akin to that of an leader. Askeladd certainly got the brains for one but you hold a genuine worry over someone like him - someone you see as weaker and innocent probably but even so, he will take your outstretched hand. For none other looked at him like that but Ragnar, the only other man knowing love. Perhaps as a future leader, he should follow your example? It makes him yearn to be like you.
The prince would definitely make a face when he sees Thorfinn, with his thunderous glare and pout, and next to him stands a young woman. He'd definitely be more surprised here as well as Ragnar, but would not have the guts to question it. Instead, he sits in his corner and glimpses from the corner of his eye and slits of his helmet at you. He's seen vikings but not women being one of them. It leaves him curious but frightened. However, as soon as you save him as his knight does his entire opinion of you change. You become somewhat of an enigma but Canute throws all questions on why a person such as you even works for Askeladd and solely focuses on the soft kindness you've shown him. Like a lovesick boy he gains a temporary infatuation with you, connecting your sweet actions with that of the femininity you posses and might go overboard on what he imagines you to be versus who you truly are - it's nothing dangerous though. Little prince is no threat to anything yet, so he just looks up to you as something kind and loving. Something he wishes everyone was.

i will fight anyone who says that gej party (gay party) is not the desfinition of askeladd's crew. disagreeing with me on this issue literally means that you're homophobic. /j
also making this post took me almost 2h bcs apparently i couldn't find any song fitting hild but now finally after years of hard labor it happened. i found hild's song (probably would choose other one but i couldn't find anywhere lyrics???) and it's a cold-wave/post-punk one so ig there can't be a better option

Vinland Saga Hybrid AU [#1]
Why has a hybrid AU of Vinland Saga popped up into my head? I cannot say I know. Is it my current hyperfixation? Yes. Will it stay my hyperfixation? Probably not.
Am I still thinking about a Griffin Askeladd threatening to drop a Snow Leopard Thorfinn for misbehaving?
Yes.
"Stop using your stupid chicken wings to carry me off of the ground!"
*fatherly sigh* "How many times have I told you to stop misbehaving? These are eagle wings... not chicken wings."
"Same difference! Let me down, you old rooster!"
*larger fatherly sigh* "My child is an idiot."

been watching Vinland Saga, and I can’t believe I watched 24 episodes of this only for them to kill Askeladd 😞
I did not expect to come to love him as much as I did, and I’m so sad rn because all the other characters annoyed the shit out of me or just didn’t grow on me
