'Cause the way Osbert smirked when he saw Edmund struggle with the bow, the way he said "I'll take care of him" to Edmund's mom, the way he hid Edmund in the wagon and held his hand aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

thoughts on seven kings must die... spoilers below the cut.

okay, so obviously the gif isn't from seven kings must die, but idgaf. this isn't like, a well thought out essay, these are random thoughts after i ~finally~ had a chance to watch the movie last night.

uhtred looked like he had gray hair when we first saw him for like, a minute, and then once the sides were shaved and it was put up, he just looked like regular ol' (as in, not old) uhtred. i was a little bit disappointed that they didn't make a little bit more effort to make the character look like, what... 15 years older? 20? if edmund was a teenager/young adult. his hair didn't look gray again until the last five minutes.

i really missed lady aeslwith. and also, in no particular order, hild, eadith, stiorra, uhtred uhtredson, and the OG actress that played queen eadgifu.

did not like how they teased osbert's character at the end of season five/the series finale, and then the character was on screen for like, idk, two minutes. i want to know wtf happened, why he was with hild, and why uhtred decided to take him back!

again, missed hild.

season five was my least favorite, and this movie felt a lot like season five, where... it almost felt like a music video, but instead of a clip after clip, it's a two minute scene with one line of dialogue, then on to the next scene with another line, and so on and so on.

like, i did not give AF that ingrith died. and i like finan! but why would i care that he lost his wife when the character was on screen for like 30 seconds, and when she died, they didn't even show the actress dead. like, finan could have been carrying a dummy out of the cave.

i DID give a fuck that aldhelm was hung. did not like that.

there's never enough finan or sihtric, but it's always been like that.

i realized why i liked the earlier seasons so much, and not so much the later ones, and it's because once king alfred died, the whole dynamic of the show changed, and there wasn't like, a love/hate relationship between alfred and uhtred anymore. and finan's (cheesy) voice over at the end reminded me of all the times alfred would threaten uhtred or tell him that his victories wouldn't be recorded in history, that they would be known as victories under alfred...

also the ending was cheesy AF. like, he had a mortal wound? but suddenly felt okay enough to get up and swear his loyalty to king aethelstan? but then he turns around and he's hallucinating? or dying and seeing valhalla? without a sword in his hands? and even though he was struck down on the battlefield with his sword, his friends would put him in bed and take the sword away from him? knowing HOW important that would have been to uhtred? da fuq?

The drowned and the damned

The witch regards him with disdainful eyes, taking his measure. “What will it be, Osbert Uhtredson?” she asks softly. She runs her cold hands along his jaw and down his neck and he flinches but cannot pull away. “What will you choose? Will you drown slowly, or all at once?”

wip wednesday

from a fic for @naps4bats Where in the World is Osbert Uhtredson Challenge (that was not supposed to be 3.5k and counting but here we are).

He is eight when he first encounters Skade.

One of the chickens goes missing before dusk, but there is no sign that a fox or other wild thing has entered the yard—at least, not a wild thing he is familiar with. The flicker of a campfire deeper in the woods catches his eye. He knows his mother would object, but he does not give himself time to think and plunges into the growing darkness.

Hypnotized by the shapes the flames make as they leap into the heavy summer air, he creeps closer and finds the culprit crouched with a bone in her hand, the grease of the stolen bird still on her chin. She is terrifying to behold—her long blonde hair is matted and wild, there are shadows beneath her eyes, a line tattooed down her chin, symbols drawn on her forehead and fingers. Her clothing is black and strangely cut, the dark color casts a sickly pallor over her skin. She looks younger than his mother at first glance, but the longer he stares at her the more certain he is that she's seen life beyond her years.

He has half a mind to raise his knife (it is a small blade that his mother gave him, more suitable for woodwork than for self-defense), but something tells him not to. Instead his grips the hilt, blade pointed towards the earth, and lingers outside the circle of warmth the fire casts, waiting to see what explanation this stranger will make for herself. They get few visitors, fewer poachers. But though he has not laid eyes on her before he feels as if he knows her, and it is a strange sensation.

The woman rises to her feet, tilting her head curiously and circling the fire to approach him. She moves gracefully, with purpose, as if she is dancing, as if she is hunting. He swallows, does not move, even to back away from her. Her lips part slightly; this appears to please her.

“So you are the last son of the great Uhtred Ragnarsson.”

The name is one his mother does not speak, but he knows it.

“I knew your father,” the woman continues. A smile curls her lips away from startlingly white teeth set in blood-red gums. “Your father knew me.”

“I hate my father,” the boy declares. He has never spoken the words aloud before. It is a rush, he feels lightheaded, he feels mad.

The stranger's eyes narrow and she casts the bone into the fire. “So do I, young Osbert. So do I.”

          ❝——No! Five more minutes!❞ she demanded, Stiorra loved her father, more than anyone else in the whole world. Having him in her life again was a joy in her life. However, also in those instants it became a terrible headache to have him come and wake her up. She knew he had promised her that he was going to take her in, to turn her into a warrior or at least that she would know how to fight to defend herself, but at that moment, couldn't he give her five more minutes? ❝Please❞ she asked with a chuckle ending up opening her eyes to see him. She couldn't really remember the last time Uhtred had been there to wake her up, to be there when she was going to sleep. She ended up sitting up in bed and the young girl's only reaction was to wrap her arms around him, she closed her eyes for a few seconds as she felt that embrace against her father.

          ❝I'm glad you're here❞ Since her mother's death, her father had grown quite distant but now he had promised to come back and the joy couldn't help but see itself formed. Not only in her, but also in young Uhtred and Osbert, however, with Stiorra the excitement was greater. ❝Okay, I'm awake now, what shall we start with?❞ she asked him raising an eyebrow, if she knew one thing for sure it was that she had no idea and was about to improvise.
