#it'd make sense too if tlc was supposed to be post-gunnar

She really fucked up this time 😔

(And okay, I caved, I couldn't make her too sad 😭)

This idea wormed itself into my brain after I started thinking about the DLCs and how.... the timeline doesn't work? So, you know, canonically, Eivor does end up in Ravensthorpe and septupling down as protector and being with the people she loves. I mean, Francia still happens, you know?

Anyways, I imagine it wouldn't be all smiles and celebrations. That's a real big fuck up to come back to, and I assume quite a few years too. There's going to be a lot of thinking and a lot of introspection and a lot of being sad in a dark cave behind a certain waterfall.

She'll get there eventually, but like with a lot of what she learns, it's not an easy road to travel, especially when the consequences of her initial actions would have been so high.

For the residents and those who knew her, how do you forgive such an abandonment and betrayal of frith, duty, loyalty? After they had all been through, how do you justify an action like leaving?

TL;DR: Our girl gonna be hella sad for a real long time and tbh she would deserve it 😔 (but she will also deserve the outcome we'll eventually play in the following years 😌)

And if it feels like I am being too vague, feel free to DM me, cos sweaties, I got some thoughts and feelings and opinions about all of this, much like the rest of you.

I don't really know when to stop, so I figure I post this now instead of spending the next week working on it for minimal changes 😭 I posted a sneak of this here earlier.

Keeping your tags but I know you and I chatted and you’re not the only one with this headcanon and tbh, valid. In my opinion she is way more mature in Siege of Paris than she comes off in TLC. That smirk she had when she left them all behind, gotta be fucking kidding me Eivor! And playing that like two minutes after Roshan tells her that her people are safe as long as she’s their champion. Like WHOOOOOOOO didn’t notice how ridiculous that was, friggin narrative whiplash is how I’d put it. Anyway I adore this art and the thought you put into it —- has anyone written a fic about this because it seems like it’d be compelling as fuck tbh
