i just want to thank trapped series for not putting makeup on thorhildur's face to make her look like doll by hiding her blemishes and real skin, but leaving her bare face and showing young girls everywhere normal is beautiful and that there is nothing to be ashamed of. i love european cinematography because it doesnt shy away from depicting in their series and movies real world exactly as it is, as grim and avarage and unglamorous as reality is. that's what makes it so easy to be pulled in those series and movies. the feeling of familiar. no one is unreachable deity with unrealistic filtered and washed out appareance demanding to be praised or otherwise whole thing will flop.

Respect Neo-Pagans and Our Gods!

Although they probably will never see it (or care), this post is meant for Hollywood, Netflix, Marvel and all other industries and streaming platforms that are hosting shows based on but twisting pagan or polytheist "mythology" or ancient religions such as Gods of Egypt, Immortals, Clash of the Titans, Thor: Love and Thunder, DT17, Supernatural, Kaos, Twilight of the Gods, Blood of Zeus, Percy Jackson, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Record of Ragnarok, American Gods, Lore Olympus, and God of War games, etc.

The trend of creating content that demonizes, humiliates, or insults our Gods is upsetting and unfair. Creative and artistic license is one thing, but it's a double-standard for content about the monotheistic god or religions to be treated with respect even when under academic criticism while are ours are depicted as one-dimensional, villainized and humiliated. We are asking for that same respect.

Yes, content about any kind of "mythology" is fun, but the modern world needs to please remember that these were and still are RELIGIONS to many people around the world, myself included.

People worshipped these Gods, listened to their stories around the fire, married under their vows, raised their children, went to war, and but also built magnificent structures, wrote literature, prayed in their temples, and many more!

In fact, we still have vestiges of their worship! The names of the months and days of the week in the Western world come from Roman or Norse/Germanic Gods, the Olympic Games were originally dedicated to Zeus, the Hippocratic Oath was originally a prayer offered to Apollo, people from all over the ancient world visited the shrine and oracle at Apollo's Delphi, and many more examples.

And while yes, sometimes people were sacrificed to some pagan Gods (not so much the Greeks or Romans), but are we really going to pretend that many more people haven't died in the name of Christianity or Islam??

Lord Zeus wasn't just some womanizer, he was also King of the Gods, Father of Gods and Humans, the God of Hospitality, Oaths, Lightning, Law, Order, Authority, Monarchy, etc.

This was also Lord Zeus of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Odin of the ancient Norse:

This was also Lady Hera of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Ra of the ancient Egyptians:

This was also Lord Huracan of the ancient Maya:

Even if you personally don't worship these Gods, at least respect the fact that your ancestors did. Imagine if 100-200 years from now your descendants start making movies and shows that demonize or humiliate Yahweh, Jesus, Allah and Mohammed, etc.!

In fact, neo-paganism is the fastest growing religion in the United States: https://commonwealthpolicycenter.org/paganism-is-americas-fastest-growing-religion/#:~:text=Paganism%20is%20one%20of%20the,a%20broader%20form%20of%20paganism.

Members of Ásatrù, heathen religion of Iceland, honoring the Norse Gods:

Members of Hellenism, honoring the ancient Greek Gods:

Members of my religion, Nova Roma, honoring the ancient Roman Gods:

Traditional African religion:

Traditional Maya religion:

Members of Wicca at Stonehenge, the biggest Neo-Pagan religion in the world with 3-5 million practioners worldwide!

Our Gods are our RELIGION, not just your "mythology!" And both They and we, their followers, deserve the same respect you expect for your religions.

And they at least would never condemn you to an eternal fiery pit simply for not believing in them, unlike some other god I could mention.

They are here. We are here. They exist. We exist. And we are not going anywhere.

So, about LGBT pride planes

Okay, okay, I've talked about liveries. Sort of seems like that might be the thing that I do. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention something else - potentially the most revolutionary move in aviation since the invention of the airline itself.

This...is actual promotional material for a real airline, that flew planes for money, and was ostensibly a company. This is a screenshot from this actual airline’s announcement that their new plane will be registered TF-GAY, made over Snapchat. We live in such an incredibly normal and plausible universe. This was posted by a company which, at the time, filed taxes and had employees. Said employees probably wore suits. They had offices. They were registered with the Icelandic government. They flew airplanes daily and this was their job. They posted this on Snapchat. This was widely covered by news. People discussed this as a massive step forward for LGBT equality. It was posted on Snapchat by a real airline.

TF-GAY was an Airbus A330-300 formerly operated by Icelandic low-cost airline WOW air, given her registration as a shattering gesture of LGBT inclusivity in the same league as Stonewall and Obergefell v Hodges. She was just a regular A330 painted in a regular WOW air livery which happened to be registered as TF-GAY. 

I’ll be honest, I don’t think this is within the scope of this blog to rate, but if it were I would give it an A+. This is such a silly and pathetic gesture that I loop right back over into adoring it. The Snapchat announcement (I forget Snapchat exists, never mind imagine that it might be used by an airline) is so absurd that it may well be the thing that convinces me that I’m actually a Boltzmann brain because this could not possibly be real. I love TF-GAY. I’m very sad WOW air went bankrupt because it means I can never fly on TF-GAY. (She is now stored, having most recently flown for Batik Air with an unremarkable registration, though she was registered TC-LOL in the interim, which feels worth noting.) 

TF-GAY is an LGBT icon to rival whatever the most recent character who casually mentions having a same-gender partner the news is profusely lauding some or other Netflix show for is at the moment. She is sorely missed, along with WOW air’s other hits, like TF-DAD and TF-MOM. But that’s a story for another day. For now, have a lovely TF-DAY and thank you as always for reading.

Taron Egerton is back.

No, not on Instagram. I don't think he's ever coming back to social media, but back on your tv/tablet/computer or wherever you watch Netflix. He has a bonafide Netflix hit with CARRY-ON.

While Taron has been away from IG and our screens, he has been steadily working. He has three projects in the pipeline. There's the Baltasar Kormákur (I highly recommend his film, Iceland's official Oscar submission for international film, TOUCH.) APEX with Taron opposite Charlize Theron, there's the limited series FIREBUG which reunites him with his BLACK BIRD director Dennis Lehane and the film SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. Egerton serves as executive producer on the last two projects.

He's also snagged a girlfriend, actress Chloe Bennett (AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D).

Until we see you again, Taron, we'll make do with the press you had to do for CARRY-ON where he outed himself as loving mayonnaise on pizza. I cannot believe this betrayal! If people accept mayo on pizza I don't ever want hear any slagging off about pineapple on pizza or anchovies.

A Taste of Rebellion-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: It all started with a spark as most great revolutions do. And that spark, Katniss Everdeen is sorry to say, she has inadvertently kindled. Without realizing or choosing, she’s joined a fight‒and she is fairly certain she’s on the wrong side… Another unexpected complication of this whole mess is a man‒a man who couldn’t be more unlike her, nevertheless, one she’s fallen irrevocably in love with. He is the man she now feels tied to, whether she wants to be or not. She’s sure there’s no getting rid of him‒he’ll probably follow her to the ends of the earth for the strength of what binds them, but the problem is, she wants to stay right where she was. He is the one who wants to leave, and he’s insisting she go with him… And this turn of events, which has spiraled so far out of her control, is all due to a chance meeting in a coffee shop with a blond stranger on Katniss’s worst of days. Captive of The Seam-IzzySamson (ao3) Summary: The old woman laid her gnarled hands on his head, looked to the sky, and chanted some words, and the girls sang along. Katniss was not as enthusiastic as the other two, but she sang dutifully. Even naïve Peeta knew that this was some sort of ceremony…but its purpose was unknown. They could have been preparing to slit his throat and sacrifice him to some heathen god for all he knew. Sae gave him a toothless, loving smile, and said, “My son.” He felt a little sense of relief; he would not be killed, at least not today. Comfort Zone-JennaGill (ao3) Summary: She was so far outside of her comfort zone, she needed a different zip code. Katniss sees her public speaking instructor outside of class.

However, Katniss is not simply there to pay her respects; she plans to steal Prim’s body in hopes of later resurrecting her. While there, she meets a nosy reporter, Peeta Mellark, who seeks an exclusive interview with her. When he won’t take no for an answer, she decides to give him the inside scoop-at her castle. Loosely based on Netflix’s Dracula (2020). ~It doesn’t matter how much you learn about me, Peeta Mellark; it’ll do you no good. You may be clever and articulate, but you haven’t even realized that you’re never leaving this place~ Fifty Year's Worth-Juststella (ao3) Summary: For a chance to be close to Katniss in the mortal world, Angel Peeta is willing to give up his immortality. Fix My Eyes-JennaGill (ao3) Summary: Captain Katniss Everdeen takes the Mellark brothers on a charter to remember and can’t help but fall for the youngest that dresses better than he fishes. Fool Me Once-JHsgf82 (ao3) Summary: Troublemaker Katniss Everdeen and her group of friends are legendary pranksters in their sleepy Appalachian town, though they've never been caught red-handed. One day they take their pranking too far, incurring the ire of the young associate pastor of their local church, Peeta Mellark, who's been on their tails for some time. After being caught by Pastor Mellark, Katniss is sent to talk to him and to try and convince him not to press charges against them. Will she have the effect on him everyone seems to think she does?

Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's The OA stands as one of the more fascinating artifacts from the anything-goes era of Netflix-- an unfettered, deeply personal vision that somehow exists in superposition between love it or hate it. Their new Hulu series, A Murder at the End of the World, isn't as bugnuts, but after two episodes I'm totally on board. The show is a cyberpunk-tinged whodunnit that feels equally inspired by Agatha Christie, William Gibson, Stieg Larsson, and Alex Garland. Marling has half-jokingly mentioned Carmen Sandiego as an unconscious influence, but the vibe is far closer to the games of Hideo Kojima. Most of the action unfolds in a high-tech Icelandic compound straight out of Death Stranding, haunted by mysterious masked figures and AI holograms. As with Kojima, subtlety is in short supply-- the needle drops are defiantly dorky, the characters broadly archetypal (a Banksyesque artist critical of Silicon Valley goes by the moniker FANGS), and the ideas and emotions unabashedly big. If you like your gothic techno-dystopias with an undercurrent of aching sincerity, new episodes out Tuesdays.

Happy birthday to Scottish actress and model Freya Mavor.

Freya was born in Glasgow on August 13th 1993, but grew up in the Inverleith area of Edinburgh, her father is an award winning playwright and teaches at Napier University in the city , her great grandad was also a very successful writer, O H Mavor but used the pseudonym James Bridie. He also was instrumental in 1950 setting up a college of drama which has evolved into The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Freya says she got interested in acting after watching the Shining aged just ten! She spent time in France as a child and was educated there and at Mary Erskine's in Edinburgh

Her first acting experience was in school productions of Shakespeare plays. She made her professional debut in 2011, when she gained a lead role as Mini McGuinness in the fifth and sixth series of E4 Bafta-winning drama Skins.

Monday 15 July

Now I just need to plan where I am next 'cos I've been here, there and everywhere the past couple of weeks.

"I'm currently waiting for Patient Librarian's forthcoming story on how I get out of here!"

Coming in a few days I hope.

Hello everyone, everywhere, I believe it is Monday but that may be yet confirmed. Hope your day goes as you would wish it to.

Here's an article from the Dubrovnik Times about some of Valhalla being filmed there. This does not include any footage of Goran (I'm sorry, I'm so sorry) but is interesting to see how Dubrovnik was used.

Netflix Releases Third Season of Vikings Valhalla Featuring Scenes Filmed in Dubrovnik

Written by  Mark Thomas Jul 14, 2024

Netflix has released the third season of the popular series Vikings Valhalla, which was partly filmed in Dubrovnik. And Dubrovnik Mayor, Mato Franković, shared one of the scenes from the historical series on his Facebook profile.

Let's recall, Vikings has become one of the world's most beloved TV series, and many actors from the series have become international stars. Numerous films about Vikings have been made, and interest in the history and mythology of Scandinavian peoples has grown worldwide.

In addition, Goran Višnjić has joined the cast of the Netflix series, portraying Erik the Red, the legendary Viking father of Leif Eriksson, played by Sam Corlett, and Freydis, played by Frida Gustavsson. Erik the Red lives in exile in Greenland due to crimes he committed in Iceland and Norway.

[therealcalicali]

So now that Vikings has been added on Netflix, I'm probably gonna rewatch the whole series again just because it's binge watching time of the year. And.. I might regret it because of the finale season did ruin the series for everyone. I'm so still bitter about that.

And I might maybe write a story, if the series might inspire me despite the franchise being over after all these years. I can't make any problems though. But I know it's a bad idea since we're dead fandom now.

So, if you don't mind, could you help me think up a few things for characters? Because I would have so many, not too many, original characters for my own story. I already have love interests for Ivar, and even Hvitserk too. If I'm being honest... I have always had these characters intended for them, but never even written the story after the series ended. But if there is a chance that I'd have love interests for any other brothers, I'm stuck on that? But I have some of my own face claim ideas though. Could you help? Only if you want to. But, just in case.. Some things that I am trying to figure out. Not that you have to help.

I know you have mentioned before people who had naturally red hair were killed because they were just a "rare defect" to Vikings. Something like that. But I remember you said that a long time ago. So if I may end up having a red haired character, who wasn't at all killed, who would you imagine her being in a ship with? I'm still kinda iffy about this character.

And if there is a rare possibility that a Greek person, character, could be somehow added into the series. Who do you think could be shipped with her?

And characters.. There are two potential characters who have European with blonde hair and blue eyes. I know that wasn't uncommon. But still.

Or someone with brown hair and brown eyes.

I know those are vague descriptions. But I'm still so iffy about wanting to write this story or not too.

And I'm not sure if it's in the Vikings era, or modern times. But at the same time.. Some of these people who I have for face claims have warrior costumes, I could imagine them as characters in different eras - if that makes sense? Photoshoots of them wearing warrior costumes like that could work for series like Vikings, Game Of Thrones, fandoms like that too.

Hey sweetie,❤️😘

That's awesome. I'm glad you're considering writing something for the Vikings fandom. First and foremost, I want to clarify something about redheads. You may be attributing the assertion about redheads to me in error or misinterpretation. When it comes to redheads, Vikings actually had many hair colors, including red. Norsemen from the western parts of Scandinavia, like Denmark were quite rife with red hair as it was quite common and even considered a genetic trait specific to Nordic tribes. Here are some references:

"Did Vikings Have Red Hair?" - Scandinavia Facts

"The Norse Origins Of The Red Hair Gene" - The Dockyards

As for genetics/DNA, Norsemen were known for their exploration so they did eventually intermix with other ethnicities in various regions across Europe and beyond. Here are some groups and regions where Nordic genetics are prevalent according to "Mitochondrial DNA variation in the Viking age population of Norway" - Royal Society Publishing:

"Expert argues Vikings carried redhead gene to Scotland" - The Scotsman

Scandinavians: Modern-day people from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are direct descendants of the Norsemen and carry their genetic heritage.

British and Irish: Due to Viking invasions and settlements, many people in the British Isles have Norse ancestry.

Icelanders: Iceland has a population with a high percentage of Norse ancestry, as it was settled by Norsemen in the 9th century.

Faroe Islanders: The Faroe Islands were also settled by Norsemen, and the population there carries Norse genetic heritage.

Greenlanders: Norsemen settled in Greenland in the 10th century, and their genetic legacy can still be found in the population today.

North Americans: Some Native American tribes, particularly in the Great Lakes region, have genetic links to Norsemen due to Viking expeditions to North America.

As for intermarriage it was rare, as with every other type of peoples on the planet in order to keep culture, wealth, homogeny and land within the control of one's own people. But when Norsemen did intermarry/produce offspring it was with these peoples:

Anglo-Saxons: In the British Isles, Vikings intermarried with the local Anglo-Saxon population.

Slavs: In Eastern Europe, there were interactions and intermarriages with Slavic peoples.

Celtic Tribes: In regions like Ireland and Scotland, Vikings intermarried with Celtic tribes.

Finno-Ugric Tribes: In the northern regions, there were intermarriages with Finno-Ugric tribes (Finns: The largest Finno-Ugric group, primarily residing in Finland. Estonians: Inhabitants of Estonia, another significant Finno-Ugric group. Hungarians (Magyars): The people of Hungary, who also speak a Finno-Ugric language. Sami: Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia, known for their traditional reindeer herding. Mari: An ethnic group in Russia, primarily residing in the Republic of Mari El. Udmurts: Inhabitants of the Udmurt Republic in Russia. Komi: Found in the Komi Republic in Russia. Mordvins: An ethnic group in Russia, primarily in the Republic of Mordovia. Khanty and Mansi: Indigenous peoples of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in Russi)

Native American Tribes: Inuit: Norse explorers, such as those led by Leif Erikson, are thought to have encountered the Inuit people in what is now Canada. Beothuk: Norse settlers may have interacted with the Beothuk people in Newfoundland. Winnipeg: Norse explorers might have had contact with various indigenous groups in the region around the Great Lakes.

As for female beauty standards, the most desirable was blonde hair (had to be long regardless of color), blue eyes, and pale skin were considered desirable traits in Viking society. The same standards existed for men, with such traits being health, strength, and attractiveness. The male Vikings of course were also expected to be tall and muscular, reflecting their physically demanding lifestyle. "What did the Vikings look like?" - National Museum of Denmark

Alright, now that I've gone on a tangent, here are suggestions for your characters:😂

"European with blonde hair and blue eyes. I know that wasn't uncommon."

Eirlys Torsdottir: She is 17-year-old, a striking young woman with long, golden blonde hair that flows down her back in soft, cascading waves, reminiscent of the sun's rays. Her piercing blue eyes shine with intelligence and determination, framed by dark, thick lashes that enhance her captivating gaze.

Eirlys's face possesses an ethereal, almost divine quality, with a gracefully arched brow and full, rose-tinted lips that add to her otherworldly beauty. She carries herself with the poise and elegance of a goddess, her every movement exuding grace and strength. Family Background: Eirlys is the daughter of Tor "Red," a powerful and feared Jarl from a Viking settlement with strained relations with Kattegat. Known for his berserker skills that leave him drenched in blood, Tor is a fearsome warrior whose reputation precedes him. He is a handsome man, more fetching than his wife, but has no time for frivolous conversations or flirtations. As a hands-on father, Tor keeps Eirlys and her twin brother, Aksel, close, along with their eldest brother, Brynjar, who is 19. She is fiercely protective of her brothers and is willing to do anything to keep them safe, even if it means killing by sword or poison.

Social Dynamics: Eirlys's father, Tor "Red," often brings his children to political talks in Kattegat, wanting them to witness and learn from the dealings firsthand. Despite their strained relations with the Ragnarssons, Eirlys's family is well-respected and feared due to their wealth and influence. Eirlys, in particular, is underestimated by the Ragnarssons, who view her as merely a beautiful treasure. Tor uses this to his advantage, conspiring with Eirlys to use her beauty to gain valuable information from the boastful Ragnarssons. Skills and Interests: Eirlys is well-trained in weaponry, a skill honed by her father to ensure she can defend herself when necessary. In addition, her mother has secretly taught her the art of poisoning, making Eirlys a capable and deadly force in her own right. She also possesses a deep intelligence and an acute awareness of the political landscape, making her a formidable player in the game of power. Ambitions: Eirlys dreams of earning her place in her father's legacy, using her skills and intelligence to rise to power. She aspires to become a master of both combat and political intrigue, combining the warrior spirit of her father with the cunning of her mother.
