#Even Sully couldn't have stopped him XD

Kirio: *admits that has tried to blow the school, and potentially kill everyone inside*

Kirio: *also admits that he got excited to see despair on his own face*

Teachers: where have we failed with this kid?

Also look Momonoki is horrified and angry, Orias is shocked and very disappointed and Dantalion is just fully shocked/disgusted, so much he can’t even even be angry.

About the Fun Meta Asks for Writers gimme 3, 18 and 20 I'm so curious 👀

Haha, you demand, so you shall receive 😂

Answers can be found under the cut xD

3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)

Uhm, okay, but this one is kinda gruesome and very raw, unedited or proof-read though, you've been warned:

"It is time to make peace and claim the lands we were promised," Ubbe said and watched how Ivar recoiled at that. They had won over King Ecbert and resided in his Royal Villa and still that was not enough for Ivar. 

Their little brother wanted to shed more blood. "Peace? I don't want peace, it is a dirty word," Ivar said, proving Ubbe right, "We need to kill them all, or the Saxons will just assemble a new army and overthrow us."

Ubbe could hear the men around them agreeing and he did not like how their little brother tried to overtake their great army. He could see clear as day what would happen with Sigurd dead and Bjorn gone. Ivar wouldn't stop, his thirst for revenge blinding him to everything. 

He walked up to his brothers impromptu throne and laid an arm around Ivar's shoulders, stealing a quick glance at Hvitserk who did not know what Ubbe was about to do either. 

Before Ivar could react- too irritated at the kiss Ubbe had pressed to his scalp as an apology or goodbye- he was bleeding out his throat. "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry," Ubbe held him as Ivar took his last gurgling breath, the warmth of his brother's blood seeping into his tunic and sullying his hands. 

When he looked at Hvitserk again there was shock and disbelief painting his face. The still warm blood of his little brother coating his hands in red, causing his grip to slip away from Ivar a couple times when he laid him down on the table carefully. He had to wash it off, before he would suffocate from his guilt by looking at it.

Not allowing himself to mourn Ivar right then and there Ubbe held his head up high and addressed the men around him, "We'll make peace and that is final."

Out of the corner of his eyes Ubbe could see Hvitserk making a move towards Ivar's still form, when he walked past him, but once he got to the room he had claimed to wash up, he heard his brother's familiar gait following him. "Why?" Hvitserk asked, shutting the door behind himself, as Ubbe washed his hands in the basin with his back to him. 

The blood didn't come off as easy as usual and the tears forming in his eyes didn't help. "He was going to take over- he already killed Sigurd- what do you think would've happened once the whole army was behind him?" 

"He was our brother and you killed him," Hvitserk replied, "You're not any better than him," he stated and caused Ubbe to laugh humorlessly, "Are you going to kill me next?"

"No, I could never kill you," Ubbe admitted and turned slightly to look at his brother, "I did this to protect us." Hvitserk's eyes were shining unusually bright and Ubbe didn't even try to stop his own tears from falling anymore. 

"I loved him, you know that," he said thickly, "Ivar was more than a brother to me, he was like my own child, but he turned into someone who was too dangerous. Our brother would have sacrificed us both in order to take revenge and the war would never stop."

18. Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterizations?) Tell us about them.

Some do, yeah. In No One's Father, I initially wanted Hvitserk to hurt Ivar enough to draw blood after his little brother had killed the Saxon toddler. I wanted him to be the reason why Ivar had that scar high up on his cheek(before the other one he caused canonically), but abandoned that because Ivar's guard's would've hurt Hvitty further and I really couldn't fathom that.

Talked about one abandoned plotline for In and Out in this ask from a different game in detail.

In Flower Crowns and Kisses I intended to end the forest adventure a bit differently, they weren't even supposed to touch each other in the grass, I wanted them to do that in the river with a very passionate Ubbe, but Idk what happened, I liked the idea with him being gentle and careful with Hvitserk in the grass a lot more I guess.

When I started writing Of Sharp Teeth and Hunger, Sigurd wasn't supposed to die that early, but no matter how I tried to change the sudden idea, it never felt right to keep him alive, only when Ivar killed him it worked so much better with what had happened in canon and the parallels I wanted to draw to my story. It really just worked itself out as I wrote it. Also, fun fact: started that story in third-person limited, but it read so much better in second-person that I switched it.

For Love is a Battlefield I wanted Ubbe to feel something romantic for Alfred too, initially, but it just did not work, since my HC is and always will be that Ubbe's heart only belongs to one person: Hvitserk. You can see it as platonically or romantic for canon, I support both very much. (And honestly, everyone who has watched the show and tells me with a straight face they firmly believe Ubbe and Hvitserk aren't in love, have not really watched the show. Or at least did not watch those two dipshit that I love with all my heart) xD Anyway, Ubbe never looked smitten like Alfred did, just curious so it worked better for his character.

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

I could probably talk about my Teen Wolf or Good Omens fics here, but this is my Vikings blog so I keep it to that fandom.

Really only have three "WIPs" for foreshadowing/clues for future scenes and that's my Lovely Monsters Series, In Love with a Heathen and In and Out. Last one I will not get into.

In Love is a Battlefield that plays in the In Love with a Heathen Universe, it's only hinted at who Ubbe really loves at the end, but I did write one chapter for a two parter continuation already. Although it will have Alfred more in the second chapter. The first has Ubbe and Hvitserk reuniting in the center of it. I really tried to keep the illusion of it staying in canon to make it look like missing scenes of sorts.

In Jörmungandr would be Jealous- part of the Lovely Monster's Series- it is mentioned how Ivar drank dead men's blood and almost died because of it. I will pick that up in the upcoming story that has Aslaug and Ivar at the center of it in A Mother's Love. I wrote it with Aslaug starting in the present, just leaving the scene at the end of Sated Hunger and Regret and moving towards Ivar's room. There will be a cut to past Ivar's POV of him being fourteen and hunting in the woods with his brothers. Since that fic is soon coming up, I'll not spoiler it too much xD

I can safely say that I'm actively trying not to kill Torvi in every fanfic I write, I just really hate her and Hirst's nepotism that held his daughter in the show. I can also say that I often fail and still kill her, just because. You can hate me for that, but I think Gunnhild, Amma, Helga, Yidu, Aslaug, Aud or even Astrid would've been all characters that should've been kept alive instead of Torvi. Hence why I plan to put them in as many fics as possible and her in as few as I can manage.

Funnily enough, a lot of fics I would love to talk about are not uploaded yet, so I really can't speak of them 😂

Throw some of the remaining numbers at me!
