And what’s funnier is that the prophecies DO come true. It’s just that characters made the wrong assumptions about them. A man wielding a spear leads the armies at Ragnarök and a bearded, bald man dies in Atreus’ arms. Brilliant.

“Fate only binds you if you let it”- no, but, actually. The characters kept saying it but only in hindsight do I realize how deep it goes. Truly the best way forward, even with some hint of the future, is to proceed as you would regardless. Make your own story and ignore if it matches the prophecies or it doesn’t. Or else you end consumed by thoughts of it (cough, Odin). And in the end it’ll come somewhat true without the details that YOU projected onto it.

#and what's particularly interesting is atreus and angrboda's comment on laufey's last shrine #that she believed that prophecy and tried to change it. going against her people's beliefs and all that #the way I see it is that even she - a giant - can fall into the trap of seeing prophecy as an end-all be-all #she was frightened and tried to change their future because she loved them. that fear either blinded her to the fact that prophecy is vague-#or made her decide she'd take no chances either way and try to push them elsewhere #very interesting #angrboda herself needs a moment to free herself from the cage #to realize that just because there were no more prophecies with her doesn't mean her life is over and she has no choice but to accept it #i really liked what the devs did for her at the end #gave her a giant (literally) companion and a big role in saving everyone. and life goes on #she paints. forages for food. takes care of fen and her animals :)#the writing in this game....... 5d chess over here #atreus was immediately like This Sign Won't Stop Me Because I Can't Read >:)#did you say my father dies? hah! good joke. no I won't allow it 🔪#god of war #god of war spoilers #gow spoilers #twilit posts
