finished vikings valhalla. well. that was certainly a season of tv

[witchoil]

the actual most insane thing about vikings is that it should have ended after s3 like most crap prestige tv and yet but also 4b/5a justify its entire existence

currently...

thanks for the tag @venndaai

favorite color: i don't think i have one. i like bright colors ig

last song: tbh probably still the hazbin hotel soundtrack. the obsession is going strong even whole three months later

last movie: anatomy of a fall. at first i didn't plan to go see it bc i'm not interested in stories about awesome women stuck in psychologically draining marriages to pathetic men but the fomo got to me lol. i did like it a lot, esp how the movie establishes some empathy for the guy while firmly remaining on the mc's side and how the kid is shown as a rational human being capable of analysis and decision making even in the face of emotional upheaval. the lawyer was extremely hot. her too tbh except she also looks like a real life woman. very unhollywood, the both of them😌

currently reading: i've been reading the collector by john fowles but when the book switched to miranda's diary it completely lost me. i understand she has nothing to do but, if you were kidnapped and help captive in a cellar by a sociopathic incel, would you spend your time writing down the detailed story of your situationship with another man? highly implausible and i'm not sure i understand what purpose this section serves in the novel. so i was bored and started the second lady trent book today which pulled me in immediately altho i gotta say i still find this series uncomfortable from a postcolonial lens😬

currently watching: i've been doing a project called "combat anxiety and existential dread by gratifying my completionism by finishing the most random shows i started years ago". just finished castle rock bc that was a show past me had decided to watch for some reason. it was whatever but i got +100 completionism gratification points by marking it as finished on the site where i track my shows. next up: westworld s3&4, atlanta s3&4, mr robot s4, lost in space s2&3 and vikings s6. the last two i'm actually looking forward to bc i remember liking them, the rest are just something to put on while scrolling tumblr🤷‍♀️

currently craving: disgusting soda water of some sort

tea or coffee: both.

[payidaresque]

They came to a place called Golgotha, which means “the place of the skull”. There, they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall. But after tasting it, He refused to drink. When they had crucified Him... they divided up His clothes by lot. Above his head, they placed the written charged against Him. “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews”. Those who passed by hurled insults at Him, shaking their hands and saying, “Come down from the cross if you are the Son of God”.  In the same way, the chief priests and the elders mocked Him. “He saved others”, they said, “but He can’t save himself. He’s the King of Israel. Let him come down from the cross.. and we’ll believe Him”.  He trusts in God, let God rescue Him now if He wants Him, for He said, “I am the Son of God”.

I am the Son of God.

Game of Bones: Charlie bringing Sarah coffee is one of my favourite things 😍. Him calling her m'lady when they're working a case about Vikings is cute and it's here we discover Sarah's love for Pumpkin Spice Creamer (changing to vanilla and cinammon by S6). Charlie and Sarah discussing the sword seemingly to forget that Joe and Jesse are also there. Rex wearing the chainmail scarf at the end remains one of the cutest things ever.

marco ilsø as hvitserk ragnarsson in vikings : season six, various episodes.

[modwyr]

the thing is i can’t even really compare vikings, vikings valhalla, and the last kingdom despite being very similar in setting and tone. so i’ll review them instead

vikings was on overall solid show that went off the walls in the middle then ended with one of the strongest final seasons i’ve ever watched. best costumes ever purely king ecbert’s fits

the last kingdom was pretty consistent in quality with some really enjoyable characters and stroylines that really grew on me. i went from booing every time uhtred came onscreen to cheering him on and thats called growth

vikings valhalla, despite being a sequel to vikings, is more wild than the former could ever hope to be. history is an obstacle to be overthrown. i cannot wait for season 3

bonus round: assassins creed valhalla - its still really bad and im still really upset about it and i wont be tricked into reinstalling it i swear i wont i prommy

[witchoil]

god i can’t believe the first thing that happens after ivar shows up as an actual person is father-son bonding double suicide roadtrip

[ivarthebadbitch]

why do they always gotta use longer beards to signify a time jump and yes I'm looking at Harald and Leif promo pics.at least freydis looks good and the new characters look pretty interesting. I predict a love triangle, either either the new pagan leader viking guy gets between Harald and freydis or Harald's byzantinian wife.anywho i hope they go back to shorter beards

you know, I will say I don't think the longer beards look terrible and I get the impetus for wanting to have a new look for a new season. what I do object to, specifically, is harald done up like this. this man brought his personal bathtub along for his revenge campaign! he's got his fancy boy braids and his slutty leather v-neck and his furs! he's royalty, not some freaking greenlander hick! even on the run or in disguise, I feel like this is a guy who needs to be well groomed regardless. maybe he'll pull a s6 ivar where he gets rid of the beard (or at least trims the beard) in the first 10 minutes of the season, who knows.

anyway if the showrunners aren't cowards and want to be true to the spirit of vikings then they will not just give us a love triangle but an honest to god threesome, doesn't really matter between who at this point. but we'll see.

[priceforrottenjudgement]

So dont ask me why, but i decided to rewatch the rest of Vikings after i initially abandoned it bc i was pissed about athelstans death and.... yeah honestly ive been fighting my way through the latter seasons. It was pretty fine up until ragnars death (except for yidu, which. BIG OOF), but after that its literally just dead child, betrayal, making up, another betrayal, miscarriage, Björn cheats on his wife, cool character gets killed off, woman gets killed for loving one of the sons of ragnar aaaand repeat.

Literally the only male character that doesnt such is ubbe? At least up until like half of s6, havent seen the rest yet. And the only good thing about the latter seasons is gunnhild, but from the way this show treats women,,, euugh. Honestly im just hanging on for completionism at this point.
