[hotvintagepoll]

Propaganda

Greta Garbo (Camille, Anna Karenina, Queen Christina)—Enigmatic and alluring and made me bisexual. The perfect example of the eroticism in silent films that literally transcends text. Could literally not change anything about her expression but you knew by looking at her eyes what she was thinking. She’s so gorgeous.

Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady, Sabrina, Roman Holiday)—Growing up, Audrey Hepburn desperately wanting to be a professional ballerina, but she was starved during WWII and couldn't pursue her dream due to the effects of malnourishment. After she was cast in Roman Holiday, she skyrocketed to fame, and appeared in classics like My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's gorgeous, and mixes humor and class in all of her performances. After the majority of her acting career came to close, she became a UNICEF ambassador.

This is round 5 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Garbo:

A cold-ass Swedish WLW Sphinx. Had plans to murder Hitler that she never got around to. "She will remain always a child of vikings, moved about by a snowy dream."

First of all, she's on the money; that's how much of a treasure she is. She's beautiful in such a distinct way you need very few lines to draw her. (Drawing by Einar Nerman) She managed to be mesmerizing in both silent and sound films. She kissed a woman in Queen Christina (and probably several more in real life). She was super dry and really funny in Ninotchka. She got the hell out of Hollywood and stayed out, living for almost 50 years after her retirement.

Garbo is one of the many reasons why I'm gay. If you haven't seen Queen Christina please do, She is so gender in that film. Also her accent makes it sound like she's always talking in cursive and it's so hypnotic (or at least I think so).

She's a gay introvert, like all of us here on Tumblr.

Probably a lesbian, absolutely a mood when she retired

Mysterious and aloof, charismatic and enigmatic, with beautiful androgynous characteristics, Garbo is undoubtedly the most eccentric and unique Hollywood vintage star. Her aversion to fame and stardom makes her even more desirable to the audience, and her insane chemistry with the camera, an actress one of a kind! Her particularity and her oddity is what discerns her strongly from her hollywood co workers at the time, noone was like her and would never be like her. I think, to the utmost extent, that she deserves the title of the hottest vintage star, even though that would be an understatement of what she is!

SO gorgeous, her thick Swedish accent makes will turn your brain into pudding

Audrey Hepburn:

"She may be a wispy, thin little thing, but when you see that girl, you know you're really in the presence of something. In that league there's only ever been Garbo, and the other Hepburn, and maybe Bergman. It's a rare quality, but boy, do you know when you've found it." - Billy Wilder

Raised money for the resistance in nazi occupied Hungary. Became a humanitarian after retiring. Two very sexy things to do!

where to begin......... i wont her so bad. i literally dont know what to say.

My dude. The big doe eyes, the cheekbones, the voice. The flawless way she carried herself. She was never in a movie where she wasn't drop dead gorgeous. Oh, also the fact she raised funds against the Nazis doing BALLET and she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work.

"It’s as if she dropped out of the sky into the ’50s, half wood-nymph, half princess, and then disappeared in her golden coach, wearing her glass slippers and leaving no footprints." - Molly Haskell

"All I want for Christmas is to make another movie with Audrey Hepburn." - Cary Grant

I know people nowadays are probably sick of seeing her with all the beauty and fashion merch around that depicts her and/or Marilyn Monroe but she is considered a classic Hollywood beauty for a reason. Ironically in her day she was more of the alternative beauty when compared to many of her contemporaries. She always came off with such elegance and grace, and she was so charming. Apparently she was a delight to work with considering how many of her co-stars had wonderful things to say about her. Outside of her beauty and acting ability she was immensely kind. She helped raise funds for the Dutch resistance during WWII by putting on underground dance performances as well as volunteering at hospitals and other small things to help the resistance. During her Hollywood career and later years she worked with UNICEF a lot. Just an all around beautiful person both inside and out.

No one could wear clothes in this era like she could. She was every major designer's favorite star and as such her films are time capsules of high fashion at the time. But beyond that, she had such an elegance in her screen presence that belied a broad range of ability. From a naive princess, to a confused widow, to a loving and mischievous daughter, she could play it all.

Look at that woman's neck. Don't you want to bite it?

[diariodeunrincondemi]

Love, empathy, strenght, changes, courage, humanity...That's what comes to my mind when I think about Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan.

The desire to protect those you love, to avoid their suffering and that they go through the same things as you, is one of the distinguishing mark of these stories. The other one is that both stories talk about the relationship between humans and violence, but in different ways.

Vinland Saga is raw and cruel, because it talks about events that were real and things that still happen, but it is also idealistic: Thorfinn wants to found a land of peace where nobody suffers, far from the violence that kept him trapped for so many years. Einar said that Thorfinn is like a baby, because he was learning to know the world through a different lens than before: with hope. The hope of changing to become a better person and help to build a better world: for Einar, for Arnheid, for himself, for outcasts...basically, for anyone that rejects the status quo and the only thing they want is to live in peace. But, even so, none of this erase his sins, all the deaths he carries on his shoulders; and all because he was an arrogant boy who never listened to anything anyone told him. The line between being a victim and a murderer is too thin, just as the line between victors and losers, between war and slavery...After all, it's all part of the same system: if you aren't strong and you don't show power, you get eaten. And Thorfinn knows this very well. He knows it so well that he gets sick of it and decides to renounce to it, just to discover the meaning behind his father's (and Askeladd's) last words: "Become a true warrior". And he starts that new path and, as time goes by and goes from a boy to a man, he becomes a true warrior: someone for whom the safety of their loved ones (friends, family, people who is not there anymore, even outcasts) is the most important thing, and that means giving up violence and, instead, talking, to turn kindness and gentleness into his weapons.

But becoming a better person has its toxic side: never, doesn't matter what you do, it will be enough. You will never be kind enough,or gentle or sweet or understanding enough; because youre nightmares will always be haunting you.

But Thorfinn doesn't give up, either; and he always pushes himself. I guess being an idealistic person is addictive: you know the world is a complex place; that human beings are imperfect; but you dream, you wish, you long...that a day when every conflict can be solved through words will come...Just like Thorfinn, just like Armin.

A world of violence and hatred in and endless cycle. Someone has to end that cycle, someone has to sacrifice themself , to become a demon that everyone can direct their hate towards, no matter religions, ideologies or cultures. Humanity united against a common enemy. And someone has to kill that enemy.

Words, dialogue and good actions don't work anymore, and the person who loves them the most has to become the embodiment of war and violence, what he hates the most.

Armin does what he has to, he is the only one who can fulfill that mission, precisely because he loves humanity. And that hurts him and he despises himself for not being strong enough like his comrades, because he can't stand violence and yet exercises it, although the ulterior reason is to save humanity to establish a period of peace that will last centuries.

Armin discovers, with sadness and disappointment, that words doesn't work anymore and that not everyone is willing to listen and talk. And without words, what is he? Fear invades him and paralyze him and, when they depend on him the most, he finds it difficult to react. He hates himself and, on many ocassions, he thinks that the world would be better without a coward like him. In fact, in several ocassions, he agrees to die for others, not because he believes that it is the better solution, but because someone like him doesn't deserve to live.

In a world where the big fish eats the small one, what room is left for love, empathy or kindness?

And amidst all this, I can't avoid to confront Thorfinn's idealism and hope with Armin's realism and despair. I don't know which one to choose, because I am both at the same time.

Kindness and gentleness are the true power, but the raw reality is that words doesn't work. What is the truth, what is the lie, who am I, who do I want to become. But, in reality, none of that matters when nightmares are haunting you and paralyse you. I will never be enough.

“You doing okay back there, Princess?” Lorcan looked in the rear view to check on Meeri. He would have preferred to have her riding shotgun, but there were too many eyes out for that. In the backseat with Melba was the safest. She kept right behind him when she was sitting up, and so far that had gone well. When they had stopped for gas, she’d put Lorcan’s jacket over her head and a wadded up blanket over her legs. Even he had a hard time telling she was there. They were making good time and she was safe, and that was all he cared about.

“Yeah, just getting tired again. Do you mind if I take another nap?” The constant up and down of her adrenaline levels had a huge part to do with how she was feeling, she was sure. It seemed like every time that they thought that they could relax, something would alert Lorcan that there were more soldiers around. Thankfully, no one looked too closely in the jeep with Melba losing her mind next to him.

“Sweetheart, do whatever you need to. I’ve got this. If I need help staying awake, I’ll wake you up. Okay.” Again he looked in the rear view mirror. Lorcan was actually worried about her. Physically she was fine but he knew mentally she'd had a day none of them could imagine. Then there had been the damn trip to the Jeep. “But hey, M?”

“Hmm? What?” Her chin once more was resting on his seat back so she could talk low to him, since she was tired.

“We’re good, right? Right?” It had been bugging him since they went through the outer gate at the city. He hated how he’d had to get her to the Jeep. Guilt had been eating at him. You didn’t treat friends like that, and she was more than just a friend.

“Lo,” affection filled her voice as one arm came to wrap around his upper chest, high enough not to interfere with his steering. “Of course we are. Stop over thinking.” She hugged him lightly. “If you’re worried about earlier, if you hadn’t done what you did, I wouldn’t be here with you. You got me out of the city alive. You and Melba.” Meeri leaned forward to press a kiss to his cheek. “You know you’re not bad for a big brother.” For a few minutes she laid her head on his shoulder over the back of the seat.

“Yeah, well you know me. I can’t stop chewing on something till I’m sure.” One of his hands left the steering wheel to hold hers and bring it up so he could kiss the back. “You’re pretty cool for a little sister too. Don’t tell the others I said that, they’ll think I’m going soft.” That earned him a soft laugh, which made him smile. The group really were like family in many ways. Maybe that’s why Meeri’s father had never liked the guys, and had turned on her in the end.

The former King had been a stickler for protocol and gender conformity, so his tomboy daughter running around with four paiges as a child had not set well. As she'd aged it had set even less well when she would have one of them as her escort to royal balls and galas. Her never having shown interest in any of the Princes paraded through also probably didn’t help, especially coupled with the fact someone would have to be blind not to see Einar was in love with her. Lorcan wasn’t for sure where the King and the rest of her family ran off to, but he knew that neither he nor the other three were going to let anything happen to her from here on out, so her other family might as well be actually dead; they'd been replaced anyway.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Lo. I couldn't hear anything over Melba snoring back here." Meeri laughed softly and offered thanks to the goddess that she had "her boys". Next to Einar, Lorcan had always been the one she was closest to and then Elio. Things were complicated with Thieran, but that didn't mean she loved him less.

"Better her than me. Although, you do realize that you are going to be trapped in a cabin with four of us, right? Might want to ask the others to get you ear plugs." Lorcan bit his bottom lip as she made a squeak. He had been kidding but now it was too funny to tell her.

"Oh, you're kidding. Right?" She tried to pull her hand back but he wouldn't let go. "Lo, you're kidding." She pulled again and heard him start to laugh. "Ass!!" Now Meeri joined him. "Complete ass."

"Part of my charm. Why else do you think the women love me? The uniform?" He was laughing and squeezed her hand. "Okay, it is probably the uniform, but my sense of humor is second."

"Goddess knows it's not looks." Meeri bit her lip as she saw his fake outrage in the rear view mirror.

"Meeri! I save your life and you put a dagger in the heart like that." He couldn't even muster enough sarcasm to stop laughing, which he didn't mind since after the day they'd had it felt good. "I mean, I knew I wasn't your favorite, but damn woman! That, that was just painful."

"Do you need me to kiss your wounded ego to make it better." She couldn't stop laughing. This felt like old times with Lorcan, they teased each other mercilessly.

"You kiss anything other than my cheek and you'll probably have to dig one of Einar’s bullets out of me. I love ya, but I don't love anyone enough to get shot." They both laughed, and both knew it was a lie. He'd die for any of them. They all were like that.

"I knew it! The only loyal one is Melba! GIRL POWER!!" Meeri was now laughing so hard she was crying. The emotions of the day having given way to giggle fits and slight delirium.

"You just love me for my dog." Lorcan now fake pouted.

"Well, it's been a good run, Lo, but I guess you figured me out. It's Melba, it's always been Melba." She was starting to wheeze when laughing.

"You know how to gut a man, M. Geez!" Lorcan laughed and shook his head.

"Side to side, not up and down, otherwise gravity won't complete the evisceration." Meeri nodded then caught Lorcan staring at her slack jawed in the rear view mirror. "What?"

"Remind me to tell Elio that some things from field training really don't have to be shared. Also, the fact you remembered that so easily is impressive. I'm now scared of you with sharp objects, but it's impressive." He laughed. She really had spent too many years around the four soldiers, they had completely rubbed off on her. Lorcan loved it.

"It was Tieran." Meeri laughed. "It came up when talking about dissecting a corpse for an autopsy. So, it wasn't THAT bad.

"You still remembered it off the top of your head without missing a beat, M. You are officially one of us now. Sorry, Princess, we can't let you go. You're stuck with us." Lorcan just grinned. Goddess be damned, he loved her.

"Other than needing ear plugs to sleep, I'm perfectly fine with that." Her head was once again on his shoulder as exhaustion was overcoming humor.

"Hey, we all have faults. Ours just happen to all be snoring and devastating good looks. Einar and I got some charm going on too. Just a little." He chuckled and kissed her hand again. "Lay down, sis, and ger some sleep. I'll watch over you. We shouldn't have any problems between here and the cabin. No one knows we're going there."

"Okay." Meeri kissed his cheek. "Night, Lo."

"Sweet dreams, M." Lorcan watched her lay down then focussed on the road ahead fully again. As he drove, he offered prayers of thanks to the goddess that all five of them had made it out of the city alive and would soon be safe in hiding.

[sentofight]

ooc. quick sum up of my ocs down below!

Einar Vilho | F/inal Fantasy type 0

Captain in the Militese army--the White Tiger, Byakko. He is not on board with the whole war idea but he can't defect because his uncle's life on the line. He is a cat enthusiastic. Due to a past mistake, he lost his right arm and was given a magitek arm instead. Only army personals know of this. He is stoic and pragmatic.

Roland of Ylisse | F/ire Emblem: A/wakening

Pessimistic and does not trust people easily, the complete opposite of his father, Chrom and older sister, Lucina. Roland is the son of Ylisse's Exalt an the village maiden (Daughter of loyal village chieftain.) Roland prefers the company of animals and plants than people since neither of the two will plot to kill him. He got acute sense of hearing thus makes him less happy about crowded places. He is germaphobe which makes it even harder to communicate with him. His present counterpart does not have all the negative traits of him because he was not exposed to a big ass dragon.

Thomas of Ylisse | F/ire Emblem: A/wakening

Chrom and Rebecca's son child, and only boy. He is the i-do-whatever-i-want kid. Thomas takes a lot from his aunt Lissa meaning he is fan of pranks and causing chaos. Though he holds deep resentment to the Ylissean council for the treatment his mother had to go through when she became a Queen. Especially when she was accused of cheating on Chrom since Thomas leans more in look to her biological parents than Chrom. He is one of the future children that came with Lucina. His present counterpart is mostly similar to him but he is less chaotic and more of mama's boy.

Maria of Ylisse | F/ire Emblem: A/wakening

The third child of Chrom and Rebecca, and the second daughter. Maria suffered the most in term of personality development. She was forced to see destruction as soon as she opened her eyes to the world. Maria grew up without knowing a lot about her parents, only through Lucina and Thomas' stories--as well from S.T.A.R. It took Maria a lot of courage to break from her shell--relying on both Lucina and Thomas for everything. Her present counterpart does not have Maria's stuttering and low self-esteem problems.

Chloe of Ylisse | F/ire Emblem: A/wakening

Fourth child of Chrom and Rebecca, and the third daughter. Chloe is not one of the future children but was born in the saved present. Because of that, she lacks some empathy and well, sense of human life than the future children. She can be arrogant at times that is due to be spoiled by her parents, mostly Chrom. She loves fashion and her role model is Maribelle. Despite all that, she is still good kid in heart. Plus, her grandfather does a good job at keeping her checked.

Rahma Samer // Amina | F/ire Emblem: A/wakening

A woman who devoted her life to practice medicine got strayed by her own ambitions and dreams at the cost of people's lives. She had to run away during the war between Ylisse and Plegia and lay low in Valm, Cho'sin. She had to change her identity in order to come back to Plegia. The ex mad doctor now refuses to practice medicine and hopes to atone for her sins somehow. The years passes by and she only grow fearful of being found out. Perhaps when she is about to die she will reveal her secret ...

Feiruz | H/arvest Moon // S/tory of Seasons

A beginner farmer who wants to make something of herself, and stop relying on her family. More like come out of the shadow of her sisters and do something she likes. Plus, her family already raises animals so it was not hard to branch a little bit and work on a farm on her own. She is a sweet sunshine who is loud to compensate feeling ignored. Please be gentle with her.

Sohrab Errol | Original lore / established originally as FE:A oc

A young man who likes alchemy. He is a good at it because he keeps practicing and trying every possible idea that comes to his mind. His latest was to infuse the minerals into his body in order to create items/weapons at free will. That worked out but at the cost of poisoning himself every now and then. He is quiet and reserved because he likes to observe and listen more than participate in conversations. Animals hate him for the smell he emits because of the minerals he house inside of his body which is a running gag that he found himself in unfavorable situations because of that. He is from Horiyah (mermaid) Kingdom which is shrouded with extremely disturbing past.

Jokull | Original Lore

Half human, half yuki-ona(snow woman/spirit) who lives in Ardam kingdom in Brightwood village. Jokull inherits some of his mother's race traits--the ability to control ice. However, being half came at a cost. Jokull is 24/7 cold and even to the people around him. He has to wear lots of layers and human touch hurts him, as it hurts them. That is why he became a little bit reclusive until he started working in the black smithy and got to come out of his shell somewhat. Still, he is awkward at times. His wish is to be able to feel things and people without hurting them.

Ren Amamiya | God Eater

My take on Lindow Amamiya and Sakuya Tachibana's kid. Born to the best duo in the Den, Ren inherited the corrupted Aragami cells from his father whether he likes it or not. He became a god eater at the age of 16 during the 3rd game timeline. He works between Fenrir and Port H.O.P.E. in order to save as many people he can. He crushes so hard on Licca. He likes to troll and manipulate people for fun not for bad intentions. Most of his victims are his surrogate sister Setsuna (@/kinships), Kota, his father, Teru, Haru, but never his mother, Licca, his aunt Tsubaki and ofc his idol Soma.

now i got sneep. love my children mwah~ <3

[starlightstripes]

Okay Nerd. Rune: 1, 5, 12 / Alys: 7, 10, 28 / and Crenic (you pick which Crenic, but both is a valid option ;D ): 8, 15, 34

ohohoho let's go, nerd. thanks for the asks!

Rune Nightfall

1 - are they associated with a certain color? what color do they wear the most? Definitely Blue primarily, with splashes of warmer shades, usually red for clothing to match his orange eyes. Specifically in game, Rhotano blue is one of my favourite shades so I pick it a lot.

5 - how do they typically dress? does their wardrobe lean more towards practicality or aesthetics? A little mix of both. He does have Adventuring glams, and Going Out glams, but despite being a Black Mage he rarely dresses in robes

12 - how long have they been around? do you know their birthday? is their birthday the day you made them or another day? what do they think of celebrating birthdays? Not As old as my main, but he's the first alt I made once I finished endwalker because I really wanted a catboy but not fantasia away. Birthday wise, since FFXIV does have a in game birthday option, I either pick kind random, or my own birthday. Rune's 5th Sun of 1st Umbral Moon (aka feb 5)

Alys Stargrasp

7 - Favorite animal? why? You can never go wrong with Coeurl kittens, I mean just look at this little guy

10 - if they wear jewelry, what kind? do they prefer silver or gold? do they have a favorite gem? She does, a whole lot of them. Piercings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets. Whatever she can wear with the outfit at the time. Usually gold, and whichever gemstone compliments it.

28 -how do they show that they care about someone? how do they express that they don't like someone? When she cares, she tries to be there for them. Emotional support, looking out for them, acts of service type of thing, but most of the time it's quiet things. Haven't eaten in a while? she might leave some food out for you, mend a torn clothing, etc, but not being obvious about it or speak up. When she doesn't like someone she just tries to avoid them, situation allowing

Crenic Namalen

8 - do they have a nickname? who gave it to them? if it's not derived from their real name, what's the story behind it? Oh boy does Rin have plenty for him. But mostly he calls Crenic Honeybun or Husbun, Because married, and a bunboy

15 - how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now? Crenic was born and raised in the Skatay Range in the Viera woods. There was his parents, Einar and Ysera, an older sister Arjn, and two younger sisters, Alva and Njala. And then his mentor was Cedrik, and the others who trained with him, Ruuj, Rael, Yurhee, and Iryut, which all he counts as much as family as well. When Alva decided to leave the woods, he left with her and when they got separated, he was alone for several years, until he met Rin. The two live together now. Rin's adoptive parents are also Crenic's in laws who all get along and he also cares a lot about.

34 - how would your character describe themselves? it doesn't have to line up with how they really are. Years in a Garlean prison definitely wrecked any confidence in himself. Superficially, he'd just say he's trying to put out some good in the world, helping people whenever he can. He does admit he can be stubborn, but also very loyal to the people he cares about. If you were to actually reach behind the surface levels, Crenic thinks he's a failure, and he blames himself for a lot of things that were out of his control, or done to him.

[buddhashusbandme]

Child Einar⬆️

I feel like I should introduce my character so that some things make sense when I post him:/

This is Einar, a god who seemingly appeared from nowhere, no mother, no father. Odin found him in Vanaheim when he felt a shift of power within the nine realms.

When Odin found the child he brought it home to Valhalla due to the power radiating off of the mere child, and the child had no home. He couldn’t just leave him there.

When Odin arrived back in Valhalla he informed the Greek brothers about this sacred child.

Sometimes Odin would have to entrust Einar to the Greek brothers as he grew up because he couldn’t take care off him.

Poseidon and Hades often took care of him because Zeus and Odin were the Chief gods so they had a lot more problems to deal with in some cases..

Time flies fast and Einar is a small child now, able to walk and think and talk on his own. In his free time he likes to explore things.. but he is limited to places where he can go due to still being young so he gets bored of it and wants to go further, so when he has the chance he leaves Odin’s palace and wanders to the Great Tree Yggdrasil which connects the nine realms.

Little Einar sees the tree and all he can think about is how it’s a big climbing structure of exploration for him.. so, he tries to climb up the tree before a pair of jaws grabs him gently by the shirt and tugs him off the tree. Setting him back down.

It was Fafnir, Odin had told the beast to watch over Einar because he knew of that curiosity of his. Einar looked up at the dragon and giggled…

Fafnir tilted his head slightly at the child.. Einar copied and in the blink of an eye, shape shifted into a dragon as well…⬇️

(Image credit to William o’ Connor his art is awesome)

Fafnir was surprised by the sudden change of appearance of the small child. Fafnir poked the boy, now a little dragon, with his snout a bit in curiosity..

After a bit of investigating from Fafnir, he stepped back and looked at the small dragon who was now looking over the edge of the island, and fell..

To which, Fafnir yelled and grabbed the child with his jaws and pulled him back onto the island.

Turns out, Einar was just trying to use those tiny wings of his but failed.. so, Fafnir taught him how to use them.

When it was time to go home, Einar had already pretty much mastered flying, enough to not fall out of the sky at least…

Back in his own form Einar approached the doors of Odin’s palace with Fafnir who nudged him inside with his snout.. Einar wrapped his tiny arms around the dragon’s snout before letting go and waving bye-bye to Fafnir.

Now, he was off to show his “dad” (Odin) his new talent..

(I’ll write more on the backstory later:)

Anime Update V2 60

Vinland Saga S2 - The season went on a brief tangent to catch us up with the boy king Canute and his forces, and what they got up to in the three years between last season's end and Einar getting bought by Keitl at this season's start. Was great reliving Askeladd kicking off his final stand with decapitating Cantue's father, and just as great getting to see Canute, Floki, and Thorkell again. But damn, that part at the end where Canute has pyres lit up all over the land and reduces those people's homes to ashes to display his power and force them to help kill his rival to the throne was so messed up and bone-chilling. Canute ends up conquering England and becoming its new king, and given his baggage, I do not like the prospects of where this is headed and wonder how it'll connect to the farmland saga.

Hunter x Hunter - TEH BISCUIT'S BACK! Sure we met these two doofuses named Shoot and Knuckle that Gon and Killua are training to go up against and got to meet the second Chimera Ant royal guard meeting with Neferpitou, with the third and final getting alluded to, but Bisky's unexpected return sort of overshadowed it all. Well. that and how strange of a character Palm is. I think Sadako had less hair!

Fruits Basket - Yes, I finally got to the two episodes that made up the big climax of this entire story and man, what an emotional powerhouse. I still remember how I used to laugh at Jerry Jewel's voice acting for Kyo in the 2001 anime dub and poke fun at it all the time, but what better a show of his improvement than to have just him talking and expositing on and on to be what has to carry that entire first episode, and he does it phenomenally. Every word he spoke I hung on, every emotion expressed I could feel, and the way everything about Kyo's character and how his arc has played out til now is put into perspective so perfectly makes me totally overlook and forgive how forced the whole Kyoko connection is on its face. But that wasn't even the emotional high point - that happened with Akito of all characters. I was fucking sobbing at the Tohru and Akito confrontation, with Tohru finally finding and truly meeting for the first time the real Akito Sohma hiding beneath the armor of a cruel God, and extending her hand to be her first true friend, the first bond formed with a stranger based in nothing but unconditional kindness and empathy. And tragedy just HAD to strike in that moment, but it at least led us to the Big Damn KyoTohru Kiss, Shigure in one of his more serious and more decent and humane moments, and the first true showing of growth and clarity from Akito as she talks with Momiji outside the hospital where both Kureno and Tohru are recovering. It was all so wonderfully done, and we've still got falling action to go!

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works - This was the first cours finale? 'Cause this was just cruel, and not just to springing the "full hour episode" thing on me for a third time; I was really into watching Shirou, Saber, and Rin hanging out together, going shopping, getting food, playing rounds of baseball, and just being like the best of pals. It was so cute and had me smiling the whole while....and then Caster just had to come in with the hard, dark turn. She now has control over Saber and will be using her in her plan to cheat her way to the Holy Grail through a mass human sacrifice and is goes up against Kirei and Lancer at the church, Gilgamesh and Shinji are still out there making schemes of their own, Shirou finds a red jewel pendant at his home, and finally Rin and Archer break to him the harsh truth - they're still technically foes in the Holy Grail War and primarily acting in their own interests, and they say Shirou and his naive heroic ideal no longer have any place in the war if he has no servant. They leave him with a threat - stay out of the Holy Grail War from now on, or die.

Re:ZERO - This show keeps giving me more and more to unpack! Ram is clearly having vague memories about past events, so she has to know more about Rem than she's letting on. When Elsa shows up at the manor this time she holds poor little Petra hostage, Frederica transforms into her full beast form to fight Elsa, and Subaru survives the massacre only thanks to Beatrice, who gets made to reveal that everything she has ever done in the series, especially in regards to Subaru, was simply her following what's written in a Witch Cult Gospel that she somehow possesses! When Subaru respawns back at the Sanctuary and plans on taking on the remaining trials in Emilia's stead, Garfiel and Ryuzu suddenly turn on him due to the belief that he could be a secret Witch Cultist, shutting him in a dark tomb. Fortunately, Otto finds him and sets him free. Yay friendship!

Symphogear AXZ - Yeah, this is prrrrobably going to be the overall weakest season of this anime, since the premiere and the conflict it sets up left me feeling a little whelmed compared to the last ones. There's this group called the Bavarian Illuminati that is funding militia groups and weaponizing AlcaNoise, and apparently they were the prime movers behind the scenes of the last two seasons plots even though we'd never heard of them before. Three Bavarian Illuminati alchemists betray their ally and convert them into energy, which was pretty sick to see, and at the very end my main girls Maria, Kirika, and Shirabe arrive on the scene to help; can't go wrong with them!

Eureka Seven - After much dicking around, we finally get to learn about the existence of Coralians, mysterious alien entities that travel through the "waves" in the skies, which has both Gecko State and the Military drawn to it for differing purposes. Captain Jeurgans returns but he's downsized compared to before, Dominic acts like a bigshot jerk 'cause he outranks him at the moment, Anemone's just a flippant and incourigable little shit except when she has headaches, nosebleeds, and panic attacks whenever the Coralian draws nearer (and Eureka finds herself feeling similarly), and then to prep her for going out in her Nirvash unit, Dominic injects Anemone with some fucking drug that makes her stronger, bolder, and crazier, what the fuck, Dominic? The episode's very final minutes leave the biggest impact, when Anemone comes out in THE-END and just blasts the shit out of Eureka's Nirvash, with Renton caught up in it too! Forget the Corallian, that thing is the terrifying, badass menace here, and it just ends the episode abruptly before you grasp what just happened!

Oh, right. I can't just ignore this scene from the episode's start:

"I'm going to wait for Vinland Saga season 2 to drop. I'm not going to read the manga, and if I do I won't do it from the beginning" I said, and lied

Chapter 1

I think it's cool that the manga begins in medias res (and that it even shows the battle's aftermath no less!) :^) I don't want to compare it to Berserk because only about 1848495 people have done it already, but it's a narrative technique that really goes hand in hand with these kinds of stories

*heavy breathing sounds*. Fun how in the anime Thorfinn walks away from the spectator, while in the manga he walks towards the reader. Also maybe it's because the mangaka's style wasn't as refined yet, but Askeladd looks much, much younger here :0

🥺 I think I really like the idea of some of the mercenaries liking Thorfinn, and even looking out for him. It's not an actual Thing, but it's a really cute thought

Chapter 3

Thors is much more expressive in the manga, which I really like🥺 I understand that the anime really wanted to highlight his otherness, in a way, but he feels much more natural this way

Chapter 18

Oh wow, so the manga doesn't say that Helga is Sigvaldi's daughter, but it says that Thorkell is his brother right away :0 I guess that it will make the future reveal more impactful, yeah

Chapter 19

It's so cute how Thorkell calls Thorfinn "little one", I don't even think it's to belittle him, it's just that he's so big and Thorfinn is so small 😭😭

Chapter 27

I haven't mentioned them yet, but I like how the anime made the two brothers reoccurring characters since the beginning, it makes their betrayal a bit more impactful. Not by much, but it does. I think this is the first time Skar shows up in the manga, and I'm almost at the part where they reach Mercia already. On the other hand though the mercenary band feels much more "alive" in the manga exactly because there are many more background characters saying this and that in their place, so I'm a bit conflicted on this

Chapter 40

When Thorkell asked Thors where he would go, he answered "Somewhere that's not here"... I just remembered that the chapter where him and his family are introduced is titled "Somewhere that's not here"... the dots...

Chapter 48

The anime does show Leif looking for Thorfinn but seeing what he does in the manga left me 🥺🥺

'Aight, now that I've finished reading VS's manga prologue it's safe to say that I'm french kissing and holding hands with the anime producers because boy did I not expect that some of the Askeladd/Thorfinn parallels and interactions I immediately latched onto were anime originals. I've been played like a fiddle. I'm having "Hunter x Hunter 1999 is 1/3 fillers" flashbacks •_•

But I'm really looking forward to seeing whether Thorfinn will join the hall of faves through the power of character development! I know of stuff already because I don't mind spoilers, but I don't know how said stuff will happen, so 👀

Chapter 55

Nothing to say yet other than I've read that lots and lots of people love this Einar guy, so I have VERY high expectations

????? *checks notes* no, I can't say that sudden nipple teasing and dick grabbing were in my "things I expected to see" list

Leif!!! I assume Einar will remember Thorfinn's name for having heard it from him?

Called it >:) era telefonata a livelli clamorosi ma I called it >:)

Chapter 56

Seeing Thorfinn be so mellow is making my heart go 💔 poor boy. My poor boy. I really look forward to knowing what went down after Askeladd's death and how he got where he is now

Chapter 57

Thorfinn my boy my heart aches for you but also I love how Einar keeps trying to make him talk and even straight up dumps his whole past on him while he's just there completely unresponsive 😭

Chapter 65

He smiled🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 *gently holds*

"Were you trying to sneak into bed with me or something?" ajskdckoghk this guy

I really like the tough love thing Snake and the old man have going on 🥺 hi surrogate son, hi surrogate father

Chapter 66

THE FUCKING "LET'S PRAY" SCENE FROM BORIS?????????

IT REALLY IS THE SAME SCENE I'M SCREAMING

Chapter 68

I'm on the floor kicking and screaming🥺😭😭

Chapter 76

Leif just adopting a random Thorfinn thinking that it was his Thorfinn... I'm wjdjfkfkfgkgk

The request:

Author’s Notes | This was definitely one of the cutest things I ever wrote. Universe | Vikings Pairing | Ivar x Reader Info | Viking Age AU, requested by @blonddnamedhandz​ for 5CW Ivar II. Posted for HTGI Event. Title translation: Flower. Words | 1306 ⁑ Warnings: Mentions to labor pains, Ivar’s ableism about his children.

It was what? The fifth one? The sixth if he would count the twins as two. There was Sigtryggr, Ingvar and Ímar - the twins. There was Udir and the little ones Erik and Einar - this last one his major concern since he didn't have left your boobs when Ivar accidentally got you full of his seed once again.

Would he be able to avoid his children from hating each other as Sigurd and he had done for so long?

Another sip of his mead, and, one more time, the cup almost fell from his hand with a growl of pain in your voice coming from the bedroom.

Why did it have to be so loud every single time?

Sigtryggr was taking care of his little brothers for him, outside of the house, to grant none of them would listen to your screams. As the older one, he had already age enough to understand those moments, and he knew how afraid his little brothers could be. He was thinking about getting a wife himself, on top of his fifteen years, and maybe carrying for his little brothers was a good way to learn how to behave when it was the time to see his wife screaming to put his children into Midgard like you were doing for his father's one more time.

Another scream cutting his thoughts.

"Gods..." Ivar mumbled, drinking from his cup one more time. "Why does it have to be so painful?"

Couldn't the gods be merciful about the birth part of that process?

To make the children was something so pleasurable! Why should putting them into this world be that horrible, bloody, and painful way?

You cried once again, louder. And Ivar swore he heard the midwife asking you to be strong and do it one more time.

Fuck that shit! You were the strongest human being he'd ever seen in his life!

Sword wounds? He could handle them.

Burning bleeding wounds with red-hot blades? Easy!

Now passing something as big as his children through a hole where his dick was used to feel tightly compressed? This was something his manly mind wasn't able to figure out how it was possible.

You'd always had long deliveries. His children were painfully big, healthy boys he could call everything but little. Sigtryggr was fifteen, and he was already taller than him! Ivar could bet he would be as tall as Ubbe or maybe Björn! And the twins weren't going through a different way: tall children, all of them! Big babies, all of them!

A new scream cut his ears. Were you giving birth to twins once again?

He got his crutch, forcing himself to stand.

It was taking too long!

Thinking closely, Siggtryggr had taken one day and half of a night. The twins took two days to be born. Erik was the shorter with one whole night. And Einar had taken almost as long as his twin brothers - the lazy thing. This one was approaching the end of its first day, but fuck! It was supposed to be quicker now, wasn't it?

Ivar thought about sitting down once again. What would he do inside that room but bother the women's work? What did he know about labor, to start with?

But what if something was wrong with this baby?

What if it was something wrong like...

Ivar felt startled by his own thoughts. Was it possible that the gods would allow Hel to touch one of his children like she had caressed his legs? After all the others, this one?

His eyes looked at the door, his heart speeding, his breath becoming shorter until everything stopped in his mind.

And around him.

A freezing cold shiver slid down his spine.

Why was everything so deep silent?

As fast as he could, Ivar rushed into the room, not minding the scared expression on his face when he opened the door, catching all the pairs of eyes into that place at once.

You were laid in bed, tired and sweaty like the last times you've done that. Ivar's eyes ran over the midwives, none of them seeming to be scared or anything but surprised with his sudden entrance.

One of them approached you, delivering a moving package in your hands.

It was smaller. Why was it smaller than the others?

Ivar's heart sunk into his chest as he approached the bed, but your smile confused him for a moment before you could show him the little package in your hands.

"Isn't she lovely, husband?" you asked.

And everything broke into shards of stars and light around him.

She was smaller than the others.

She.

His little gift from Freya was looking at him, with icy little blues exactly like his, filling his eyes with tears and making his lips break in a giggle that remembered that knock-kneed fool's voice for a moment.

Oh, Floki would be surely laughing at his anxiousness if he was there to see that moment. Or else, he would be making any stupid joke about how visibly melted Ivar's heart was with the sight of that little preciosity in your arms.

"A girl..." he mumbled, giggling again. "You gave me a beautiful little girl."

"Yes, my love. And I want to name her Aslog Ivarsðóttir. To remember your beautiful mother she'll probably grow to follow in beauty.”

He giggled again.

Oh, damn that fool! He would grow into an old wreck just like him.

But how wouldn't he be happy in front of such a thing? You passed the little package into his hands, and he cut the cord like he'd done so many times for his children before, marking her little forehead with the blood as a blessing.

"Oh, gods, look at you..." he mumbled, speechless in front of the small blue eyes looking at him so full of curiosity.

How, in the name of Odin, could something be that beautiful?

"I grow, I get older, but the gods don't get tired to bless me, do they?" he asked the little one as if she could answer him. "I've seen many things in this life, my child, but none... None was as beautiful as you are, looking at me like this."

His words were making you feel your heart full.

"My father once told me his daughter was the light of his heart. I never understood what he was talking about... With the many sons he had, how could she be different?" Ivar said, looking at you.

And then, turning himself to caress his little girl's face, as gently as if his fingers could break her delicate skin like the flowers you've once seen him braiding into a crown for you.

Maybe now, he would have more flower crowns braided by his hands in the course of his life.

"I get him now," he said. "It is different." Ivar completed.

He loved his children. Every single one of them.

But that moment was unique, and her way to look at him was unspeakable.

His heart was sure he would never see the world the same way once again.

She would be the light to enlighten his way. And what once was black and white had just been painted in the most beautiful colors Ivar ever had seen in his life.

"Are you happy, husband?" you asked.

Just to see him lifting his teary eyes to smile at you.

"No... Happy is too little of a word to define how enormous is what I'm feeling now."

Happiness is nothing, his father once said.

In that little girl's eyes, he could understand it too. It's nothing.

Happiness is nothing compared to the wonders he could experience with you by his side.

Happiness was nothing compared to what it was to hold that little package knowing his world would never be dark ever again.

Chapter 07 - Mattias and Halima

Links: Chapter overview, Character list, Map, Glossar Rating: M over all Publishing cycle: each Friday on (link)

Remarks: all my chapters contain carefully selected music tracks. It’s your own decision if you want to use them or not while reading. The purpose is to musically support the respective mood of the plot. If you can please use a browser for reading (not the Tumblr app) due to the text formatting.

It was just before sunset when they reached Arendelle. Mattias' timing had been correct. They rode right through the upper rock gate and all the splendour of their homeland opened before them. When they left two days ago they still had the journey ahead of them and did not look back. But now they had Arendelle in front of them and the view from up here was overwhelming. The fields on the mountain slopes glowed in intense colours, from the gold of the wheat, through rich green and yellow of different crops for humans and animals, to a bright mixture of colours from the many fields of flowers used for decoration and for sale in shops and at the market. In the harbour the ships and boats rocked in the soft, warm breeze and behind the majestic castle of the royal family, bathed in the orange light of the setting sun, the calm waters of the Arenfjord glittered.

Mattias could not tear himself away from the sight and gently brought his horse to a halt. Halima did the same and looked over to him. He had a dreamy expression on his face and she had to smile. She could understand his feelings, as harvest time was approaching and his homeland showed itself to him in all its beauty and fertility. She was looking forward to the harvest festival. This time they would celebrate it together.

Finally they rode up slowly and they heard the bell at the clock tower in the distance strike seven times. On the way down they passed Halima's cozy little cottage and they reined the horses. Mattias jumped boldly out of the saddle and walked around the horse to help Halima get off.

“Mattias! You jump off your horse as if you were still the lieutenant from back then. Remember that you are not young anymore. You could easily sprain your ankle,” she said laughing and shook her head over his exuberance.

He grinned and helped her dismount. “Don't worry, dearest, I'm not that old.” They held each other in their arms and looked at one another in love. Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Then he kissed her tenderly and she lifted one foot in rapture.

When they separated again he gave her a last short kiss on her cheek as a farewell. “I have to ride to the castle now to take care of everything before nightfall. I will see you later. I'll pick you up for dinner.”

“All right, darling. I'll just go down to the library and drop off some books. I'd forgotten to bring them back before we left. I hope it's still open. I'll see you later.”

He got back on his horse, put the other one on a leash and waved to her as he rode off. She waved back and gazed after him till he vanished behind the next corner of the houses. Then she went inside to get the books.

~~~

As he had passed through the castle gate, he handed the horses over to a stable boy who was just passing by, and was about to go through the front door of the castle when the captain of the guard approached him.

“General Mattias. May I have a word, please?” He saluted him and Mattias nodded.

“What's it, Captain Einar?”

“Well, I ... am a little confused. I see you, but where are the queen and her fiancé? Has something happened?” His gaze showed a mixture of amazement and concern, but Mattias also noticed a slight hint of anger on his face.

“You have nothing to worry about. She is well and she is still with her sister, Elsa. She'll be back in two days.”

“With all due respect, Sir, but you left without any protection from her guards and now you're returning alone? That's-“

“Irresponsible, you mean?” Mattias gruffly interrupted the young, overzealous captain of the royal guard. But he looked at him favorably. “She is in the best of hands with Elsa, no bodyguard in the world could protect her better than she. Have you forgotten what she did last autumn to save us all from the flood? Well ...?” He looked at him, waiting.

The captain became a little pale around the nose and stuttered, unsure what to answer, “Um ... yes, well ... in that sense, of course, you're right, Sir, I just thought I ... I mean ...”

“That's all right, Captain Einar. You're just doing your duty and being very observant, that's fine. Keep up the good work. But if you'll excuse me now, I have important business to attend to.” Mattias turned and left the captain stood speechless.

~~~

Of course, it had only been half the truth and he had to lie partly; Mattias thought, but in this situation it was necessary not to tell the captain everything.

In the following hour he called together some of the older councillors who were still faithfully carrying out their duties in Queen Elsa's time and informed them of the precarious situation. He instructed everyone to keep it under wraps and to treat the matter as confidential. Everyone agreed without reservation. On most faces there was great concern and some asked about the condition of their Queen Anna. He answered their questions in concise words, but made it clear to them that a lengthy discussion would have to wait until their return.

He then went to the royal physician and asked him to prepare everything necessary and to look for answers for Elsa's condition. He did not need to tell a doctor about his duty of confidentiality. The physician nodded and hurried away to look for precedents in his textbooks.

Finally, only one thing remained to be done. He had to find two reliable people to accompany him and he already knew who.

When he stepped outside again it had already become dark and the courtyard was bathed in the flickering light of the fire bowls and some big torches. He had fresh horses brought and rode to his home. However, on the way he stopped briefly to visit two of his old comrades who were locked up with him in the Enchanted Forest. He could trust them absolutely. Among them was a woman who was supposed to take care of suitable camouflage clothes for Elsa. He gave the man the order to get an inconspicuous wagon, some ranged weapons, food and everything else for such an action. Both of them did not ask any questions and immediately took care of this responsible task, with the intention not to arouse any suspicion.

Arriving at home, he threw on fresh clothes suitable for a dinner. After his return last autumn he had to take care of a completely new wardrobe, because he simply did not fit into the old clothes anymore. He always took care of a tidy appearance, especially now, because of Halima. He took one last look in the mirror before leaving the house again.

~~~

The host cleared away the leftovers of their dinner while they leaned back contentedly. He enquired how it had tasted to them.

“That was delicious,” enthused Halima, smiling at the host and wiped the corner of her mouth with the tip of a napkin. “Compliments to the cook,” she added as he left. Her eyes lit up at Mattias, who rubbed his belly with satiation.

“I must have overdone it a bit with the portion,” he giggled and reached for his glass of red wine. “To your health, Halima.”

“To us, Mattias,” she said as she lifted her glass, toasting with him, while they looked each other in the eyes.

A short time later, they went for their walk, as previously planned. It was a starry night and Arenfjord glittered silvery in the bright moonlight. Down in the village all the lanterns were lit and from up here you could see that the taverns were very busy, now and then even the laughter of some guests came up here.

“How did it go at the castle?” Halima asked abruptly.

“Good. Everything is arranged and prepared. All is according to plan.”

“What time are you leaving tomorrow?”

“Before sunrise. On the one hand, we gain some time, because of the vehicle and on the other hand, there is hardly anyone on the streets and we will probably come out unnoticed.” He paused. “How was it with you? Was the library still open?”

“Yes, barely. Mr. Oddvar was just about to close, but I was able to return the books.”

They sat down in the grass and Mattias put an arm around her. Halima looked at him and then rested her head on his shoulder. They both remained silent and enjoyed their romantic evening on the hill above Arendelle for a long time.

~~~

Kristoff had woken up in the middle of the night because Anna was snoring loudly. It was still dark so he closed his eyes again. How would it be once they were married and he would have to sleep in their bed from now on; he thought. Then he grinned. He hadn't known that about Anna yet.

He recalled last night before his inner eyes. They had talked for a long time about what Anna had seen, and he had tried to convince her that what she had observed did not necessarily have to be true. Perhaps this impression was troubling. At some point she had calmed down again and he went out to get them both a warm dinner, which they then consumed silently inside the hut.

Afterwards she had prepared herself for the night while he turned his back on her for decency. She did not want to sleep alone and asked him to lie beside her. Inside the kota it was quite warm and so he asked if she would mind if he took off his thick leather tunic. She grinned at him and shook her head. It hadn't taken long then and she snuggled up comfortably against him. Through her thin nightdress he felt her warmth on his naked upper body, his hand lay light and tenderly above her waist. He enjoyed feeling her closeness in this way. Her slender, warm body seemed so fragile at this moment, but he knew that it was not so. If she wanted to, she could unleash an unimagined strength, not to mention her willpower and her sometimes almost unbearable pig-headedness. But at the moment all he felt was her softness and warm breath on his chest, her gentle hand on his back and her hair tickling his cheek. Sometimes she hummed softly and contentedly when she moved.

Finally her breath became more regular and she fell asleep. This night could last forever if he had his way; he thought, if only there wasn't this little thing that she snores such like she does now. But at some point he got so tired that it didn't bother him anymore and he fell back asleep with a broad smile on his face.

~~~

It was already after midnight when Honeymaren stepped out of Elsa's kota and almost silently closed the flap behind her. Elsa had fallen asleep at some point and she didn't want to wake her up.

She looked up and watched the twinkling stars in the cloudless night sky. The moon had already set and so she was now standing there in deep black darkness. “Crap,” she whispered softly to herself and turned towards her own kota by feeling. She knew that she would also find the way blindly and it was not far away. Nevertheless, she moved forward very carefully, one arm stretched out in front of her, to notice trees or a hut in time.

She finally reached the kota and listened. An unmistakable snoring told her that she was standing in front of the right hut. Her parents had certainly wondered where she was again, but it was extremely rare that she was so late. Silently she opened the flap and crept in. She groped her way to her sleeping place, unbuckled her belt and pulled the tunic over her head. Then she lay down, sighed quietly and soon fell into sleep like a rock.

~~~

At sunrise Yelana left the camp and made a long walk to a kota far away. She hadn't been here for a long time and when she finally stood in front of the hut, it immediately struck her that it had seen better days before. The wood was heavily weathered and there were open gaps between the boards in some places. Nobody had repaired or renewed anything here for a long time. She opened the flap and stepped in. In the middle of the kota sat an elderly woman who was busy with a handicraft.

“Hello, Gyda.”

“Don't call me that, Yelana. You know very well I hate that nickname.” She did not even look up when she answered in a dark and powerful voice, but continued to care for her traditional duodji. She just made one of the belts as they all wore it over the tunic here in camp. However, certain details onto it told Yelana that this belt was meant for an unmarried Northuldra.

“Well, Gyríðr, but don't you think we're both a bit old for this kind of subtlety?”

Gyda looked up briefly, swung her head back and forth in a judgmental manner and then continued with the work indifferent. Yelana took a look around the dwelling. It was full of old traditional items, including a richly decorated rare gievriej, a very old sacred shaman drum, as the noaidi used to use it for their rituals. This was long before the People of the Sun moved here near by Ahtohallan and the fifth Spirit was chosen among them. All that remained of the old tradition was the soul song of her tribe. But this one here must have been made by Gyda.

Yelana looked at her again. She had become a very old woman, the deep wrinkles in her face showed her long life experience as wife of the fifth spirit. But it was also evident that she was still troubled by the fact that he had rejected her at that time and that she was losing her high position in the tribe on those days. At some point she retreated to this place and since then she had lived as a hermit. Afterwards she only had contact to the tribe through the few Northuldra that brought her food to survive. In return, she voluntarily made traditional clothing and therefore was provided with leather, fabric and all the other things that were necessary.

Yelana didn't know everything that was going on that time then, but she needed to know if Gyda had a child with him and could somehow hide it. She cleared her throat distinctly. “There have been disturbing events and I have an important inquiry.”

Gyda didn't respond.

“Please!”

The elder woman paused and finally put her tools aside.

“Ask.”

“Had the fifth spirit begotten a progeny with you?”

Gyda gave a short, dry laugh. “Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten what happened back then?”

Yelana tightened her eyebrows. “No, of course not. But you've been living so far out here for so long that nobody notices anything, even if you're pregnant, if you know how to hide it. I need to know, and also who helped you.”

“Even if it were, what do you care?” Gyda picked up her tools again.

“Wait. Please listen to me.” Yelana sat down and told her everything, including her suspicion that Gyda's child might be responsible. Gyda listened to her attentively and asked no questions, only her gaze grew increasingly darkened. At the end she nodded and after a little while of consideration she finally answered quietly.

“Yes, I had a child with him, a boy. I gave him the name Kolgrimr.” She hesitated, but then continued, “I was already pregnant when he abandoned me because I was no longer good enough for him and could no longer perform my duties as he expected of me to. You surely remember what he was like, how ruthless and pressing. But I wanted to protect my unborn child.” She interrupted herself and took a deep breath. “I gave birth to the child some time later and Jonna helped me with. Then this king came from the south and all these strangers started to build this dam and ...,” she faltered and looked sadly to the ground. “Sometime after the completion of this stony monster, he finally came back to me and told me something about a fraud and that the land was dying and the reindeer were suffering. He was so excited and angry, I can still remember it like it was yesterday.”

“What happened next?” asked Yelana when Gyda lost herself in memories and did not continue speaking immediately.

“He took Kolgrimr from me. Said he had to make sure that his descendant would take over when he himself was no longer around. I didn't know what he meant then and I tried to stop him, but without success. I never saw him again and later heard that he was killed in his human form. Shortly afterwards the sun darkened and this fog came. You know the rest of the story.”

“Yes, and Jonna also died fighting with the men of this dreadful king. I knew her quite well. I just don't understand why she never told me about it.”

“Because she had to promise to me not to tell anybody.”

Yelana understood and nodded. She felt pity for her, grabbed Gyda by the arm and said, “I'm very sorry for you, Gy- ... Gyríðr. No one knew about your child, and none of us wanted you living here alone. None of us ever really got it right.”

“It's not our folks' fault, I know. It was my own decision and I had my reasons.”

“Have you ever seen your son again?”

Gyda looked up. Then she slowly and sadly shook her head, “No. He's probably long dead, too.”

When Yelana later returned to the camp, she first went to her kota and thought things over thoroughly. One thing led to another and slowly a picture formed itself in her mind. It was time to make a decision, one that was very tough for her. And so she got up and walked out.

[locria-writes]

Oh oh pls do the whole aab childhood friend ask as in "grew up together" bc man I wanna know about everyone especially Val so bad in this marvellous au

this was 100x more difficult than i thought bc of trying to delicately juggle the various story arcs to fit this, but i think i’ve done it!!! ヾ(:3ﾉｼヾ)ﾉｼ also i kept their ages the same, just that they all meet mc when she’s a bby

ignazio

idk really know how this would work, but maybe his family owns a farm and is a tenant for mc’s family?

accidentally meets mc in the forest bc she’s lost and his big bro instincts kick in, and they become friends like that?

definitely gifts mc tons of dandelion bouquets, little treats from his mom, and feels really bad for mc

ends up leaving to become an exorcist bc he wants to help mc get away, and the job is good money and gives him some status so he can rescue her from burky boy ♡o(╥﹏╥)o ♥♡

wolfram

meets mc bc he spends summers with oskar, and oskar is dragged off every summer to spend time at mc’s lol

he’s the alpha bully lmao. bullies the heck outta poor mc and oskar, but he’s like the bratty bully friend who is the only one allowed to bully his victims (ಠ ∩ಠ)

definitely forms a crush on mc first, which means he just goes full tsun and bullies mc more, but bc he’s more outspoken, also means he stands up for mc whenever ppl bully her

honestly very cute, very wholesome, wolf’s just too dumb to ever acknowledge his feelings also lmao mc knows his actual name here and just bullies him back by using his mom’s nickname

edmund

okay we gotta bring this back to an annalena lives!au bc there’s no other way he would have met mc in her childhood otherwise

definitely resents her at first, but he’s an innately gentle and kind person, so it doesn’t take long for him to just completely adore and spoil her lol

would definitely insert himself as mc’s cooler, richer, and smarter big bro, much to ben’s chagrin lmao

god the romance would be so angsty tho. edmund would never acknowledge any non-platonic feelings for mc, and even if he does, he’s convinced it’s just bc she looks like annalena, so poor mc has to work her ass off for it to even work ༼ಢ_ಢ༽

valentin

i can’t give out too much context without spoiling his story, so let’s just say he’s found himself in burky boy’s employment as a footman or smth idk

hates mc at first bc he thinks she’s just some spoiled brat, but he’s got a soft heart, especially for cute things, so that doesn’t last long val giving bby mc piggyback rides ughhhh

definitely also acts as mc’s smarter big bro, her sense of self-preservation, and ben’s sense of self-preservation/dignity too lmao

would have left some time in his teens to join the military anyway, and when he comes back, mc’s all grown and he’s just like ヽ(゜Q。)ノ？

lothar

probably meets mc bc his adoptive dad has business with burky boy, and drags lothar along

literally sees mc and just goes “yes i will die for this child”, and honestly, probably is a better big bro than ben lmao

i’m so torn, bc on one hand, meeting mc earlier would have made him a lot less messed up, but then mc would be his greatest weakness, and his adoptive dad would’ve 100% exploited that (ಥ_ಥ)

dunno when he’d fall in love with mc, but he probably wouldn’t show it. just happy to be a big bro figure, and to scare off any potential suitor of hers lmao

einar

honestly, okay it would kinda be like how he meets mc in-game??

except this is grumpy victorian gramps!einar, and mc just kinda follows him around like a lost duckling bc she’s just a little bby??

probably starts teaching mc alchemy as a way to get free labour ngl lmao (❁´◡`❁)

dense af mc needs to chase him and smooch the heck outta him for einar to even get anything lol
