SAM CORLETT AS LEIF ERIKSON

VIKINGS: VALHALLA 2.03

[borgialucrezia]

woke up feeling mad at netflix for not promoting vikings valhalla and its actors at all like not even with press or interviews and i desperately want to see laura berlin in any project after the show because she played emma of normandy so phenomenally and deserves to have a career following it.

[nosolaceofastraightanswer]

honestly i'm surprised this rewatch because s2 has definitely been my favorite. the colors/videography, the music, the vibes are just top tier. i think while last summer i really connected to the melancholy and mystery of s1, s2 has provided some much needed lighthearted fun to my life yk

The real Legend of Vox Machina truly was the friends we made along the way

I’m sorry but “a Prince, a slaver, a blind Pencheneg, a woman scholar, two con men, and a noble on a boat on a sled.” just sounds like the average dnd party minus the slaver.

hiiii i finally got to bradely james in vikings valhalla and i'm deceased the momment he spoke i was screaming i am incoherent and inconsolable over this king arthur i am seeing

[gudvina]

anyways Harekr was a very compelling villain, and his motives were the most realistic too. he took advantage of vulnerable people, and wanted to exploit their labor to create his empire.

and i love how he was afterall a "viking", and that he did this all in the name of fate: goes to show that afterall between christians and pagans the differences are slim, as Olaf said.

LAURA BERLIN AS EMMA OF NORMANDY

VIKINGS: VALHALLA 2.01

[billy-hargrooves]

Did someone already watch Vikings: Valhalla s2 already? Is it good?

Gonna try to start s2 this evening. Liked s1 very much as someone who didn't watch Vikings. Maybe I should try to watch Vikings as well but I have so much on my watch list 🤔.

G Witch and Norse Mythology

I think we all know Okouchi harks to both Utena and The Tempest with the writing, but an influence that's underexplored is Norse myth. The following will be a quick mention and breakdown of these references, starting from the blatant to obscure.

Fólkvangr

Show: Hidden laboratory inside an asteroid. Under the control of the Vanadis institute and where the bloody events of the prologue occur.

Norse: Field ruled over by the goddess Freyja where half of those that die in combat go upon death, whilst the other half go to Odin in Valhalla.

Vanadis

Show: The institute which pioneered the GUND-format and gundams. They were disbanded and violently stopped in their medical and military operations.

Norse: Also known as Freyja, Vanadis is a goddess of war, fertility, and witchcraft/magic. She has dominion over Fólkvangr.

Gundams Lfrith Ur and Thorn

Show: Gundams piloted by the witches from Earth; Sophie and Norea. Sophie pilots Ur while Norea pilots Thorn.

Norse: Ūr or Uruz is a rune meaning the following-

It governs shaping and forcing fortunate circumstances creatively through will and inspiration, self-healing and maintenance of good mental and physical health, assertion of home ground, personal space, independence and freedom, strength and tenacity, courage, persistence against all odds. Uruz is a symbol of the wild bovine, a reminder that cattle were once wild creatures. Uruz represents young warriors. https://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/uruz

Thorn or Thurisaz-

It governs destruction of enemies, curses binds and fetters, awakening the will to action, breaking resistance of blockages in body, mind and spirit, Increased potency and prowess in romantic relationships, and understanding of the division and separation of all things. Thurisaz to be described as a thorn that is most sharp, a grim and evil thing to take grip on or touch. Thurisaz is also a fertility rune in the sense that it breaks down the barren and hard, rocky realms into workable soil as to bring fruitfulness to crops and wombs. https://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/thurisaz

These are just the ones I caught so if you see another, feel free to comment! The next will just be speculation based on my own knowledge.

Yggdrasil and Odin

It occurs to me as I drink in this image composition that it looks similar to Yggdrasil, or the world tree in Norse myth. Aerial forms the trunk/branches while the people are its leaves. Considering all the norse references thus far, it feels intentional. And I fully believe it is when you spot Miorine falling towards the base.

Her fall to the base of the 'world tree' is relevant because of this image. In Norse mythology, Odin has one eye because he sacrificed it to the Mimisbrunnr (Mimir's well located beneath Yggdrasil) in exchange for a drink of the well's water. It grants Odin wisdom and insight. It wouldn't surprise me if Mio is forced to make a similar trade during S2, either to solve a problem or make an escape. (from QZ maybe?)

I'll likely add to this if I notice anything else
