If i wasn't so bad at watching any series I'd try picking up vinland saga again cause i swear its the only good viking fiction out there
#certified viking hating nordic#slightly hyperbolic i just really hate the valorizarion#both in terms of WS but also ''leftist reclamation'' and cutting out the uncomfortable bits#either way its always taking a part of history with a lot of things that cannot be confirmed#and slapping on a lot of fictional rebranding concepts and proclaim its history#frankly i was so surprised when vinland saga was like#an actual good story that felt really authentic???#and like up to where i got just acknowledging the inconcrete borders#the process of the christening of the north#the pillaging!!!! like hello!!!!!#not to mention the CLOTHES#and the houses!!! the furniture!! food!!!!!#like its actually mindboggling how often viking fantasy is marketed as historical fact#and that actually accurately sourced depictions feel so shocking in their unusualness#im rambling and this doesnt pertain to this blog really#i just have a strong interest in nordic history folklore and culture#and so it bothers me how much vikings are used as a political sledgehanmer from multiple sides#and are used to make false claims about nordic history even past the viking age#i have too may thoughts about this to fit them in the tags#sharan talks#sharan yells at cloud#i need to use that last tag more honestly#dont mind me im just being a little bitchy rn
