i love when a really crazy symbolic artist gets into something inoffensively niche so you just see the most jaw dropping experimental fanart and when you look it up what its for its some movie with no cultural impact and a solid 70% on rotten tomatoes
#or ppl who get REALLY into a certain comic character or run that very few other ppl have so they produce all the fanart and make it crazy#this is NOT a mid movie so maybe bad example but when jad/en/varg/en started drawing exclusively twbb for like a year straight. literally#so awesome#warlock wartalks

I'm thinking of all the fun characteristics to give to Varg, and he's definitely gonna be a big reflection of me, with all the bad and fun sides too, like that one time we had to present an art project for a workshop at uni and somehow I chose the 'suicide" theme and proceeded to illustrate chopped up body parts to a class of 40 people. And I had to add a very embarrassing disclaimer saying 'ah yeah this project is about suicide but not mine heeheeha just as in like a concept'. Dude what the fucking hell. Yeah I don't know either
#like what the fuck was i thinking#that wasnt even the year i was depressed btw#so just genuinely i had to idea wtf occured to me in that moment#yeah varg's gonna be a huge weirdass like this

as much as im bummed norsemen got canceled i do kinda like how season 3 was done as "season 0" so the series basically ends right where it started
#talkin#norsemen#I KNOW im like 4 years late but listen its a good show#i love how they filmed everything twice to do it in norwegian and english#so much better than just dubbing it after the fact#jarl varg immediately became my fave after the “im going to cut him into tiny tiny pieces.. thats why i brought this tiny tiny knife” bit#and then his “villain origin story” in season 3 was just so *chefs kiss*#i threw on an episode to see if it would be worth watching and then almost finished 2 seasons in one go#in my defense theyre very short seasons tho

Øystein, son of Aarseth, is the one and only son of the King of Norway. He's the innate leader of the viking army, conquistador and future ruller of the North Sea empire.
He's known to be fearless, radical, and merciless towards his enemies, a brilliant strategist, but an arrogant and selfish commander.
Pelle is the first child of a noble family from Stockholm. Although he never had an inclination for heroism (nor enough stamina for it), he became a viking at the peer pressure of his household.
After a near dead experience during one of the Swedish raids, he came back 'from the dead' as a shaman. He ditched the battlefield to be guided by gods to his new enlightenment. Although reluctant and resistant at first, his kin slowly became aware of his new wave of wisdom and his fortune-telling gift and proclaimed him a 'bridge between gods and mortals'.
Obsessed by death and the occult, Pelle embraced his new status as a nonhuman (how else, really)
After hearing about his powers, Øystein decided to kidnap Pelle for his own benefits. He made Pelle his personal clairvoyant and advicer, but didn't take him as a slave. He was Øystein's loyal companion during raids, following him everywhere and having a privileged place next to the smol and grumpy Majesty.
Varg was the son of a Jarl who had a very close companionship with the King, so (unfortunately) Varg and Øystein have quite a history together.
They never standed each other. At first, the animosity was one sided, but in time it became mutual.
Varg was only 11 years old when he had to follow his father to a congregation in Oslo. He and Øystein had a (seemingly ordinary) sword fight until Øystein cut Varg's face. Naturally, he got away with it, but Varg never forgot him for the humiliation he endured and the new scar that became a constant reminder of his weakness. This is when the hatred became dual.
10 years later, at his father's order, he had to join the youth's movement and become part of Aarseth's army. Arrogant, confident (or so he tries to portray himself), and revengeful, he gladly took the role of a viking, but the worst part had yet to come. He was rendered to have a close position to Øystein and to travel alongside him and his other minions (Jan, Jørn, Fenriz, Snorre, Faust, etc).
Fights occurred on countless times and if they were caught together in a 'life or death' situation, they would let each other simply die rather than work a way out, so the tension was always high, trust was non-existent and curtesy was another word for forced-agreeableness.
Øystein wanted to get rid of Varg as much as Varg wanted to obtain his revenge (kill him and take the throne), but in unfavorable circumstances there was little to nothing they could do (yet).
When Pelle entered the picture, Varg fell in love with his mystic beauty. He began sneaking out and postponing duties to spend time with the shaman.
Pelle's interest in the mortal way of living and human affection was limited, but he became fond of Varg to a certain extent.
Having both Øystein and Varg's trust put Pelle in a delicate position. Typically impartial, he tried his best to stay away from taking sides, but he couldn't deny the ever-growing antagonism between the two.
The story is basically about them having to survive the cold, the hunger, the fights and each other while Varg has a massive crush on Pelle, Pelle acts like he doesn't understand the languages and Øystein munches on elg meat.

excerpts from a daily mail article released shortly after her arrest
When members of the Geneva High School role playing club asked 16-year-old Lindsay Souvannarath to choose a character they were expecting an elf, a sorceress or perhaps a female warrior.
But the shy, clean-cut teenager opted for a rather more unsettling choice, presenting them with a detailed pencil drawing of her chosen persona - the 'Nightmare Nazi'.
The trench coat, jackboots and gas mask were unmistakably those of an SS soldier; the skeletal hands clutching a vast dagger more akin to dark fantasy art.
Former classmates at Geneva High recall Lindsay Souvannarath as a shy, withdrawn youngster, who had few friends and instead sought out after-school groups and writing clubs to express her creative side.
But she was also prone to bouts of anger and violence - allegedly stabbing another student with a pencil in one outburst and occasionally letting slip an alarming infatuation with the Third Reich.
'On first impressions I didn't think there was anything too strange about her,' he told Daily Mail Online.
'She could be funny and intelligent but most of the time she was quiet and not very warm or outgoing.
'One year her character was a sort of Wonder Woman-type heroine, then all of sudden she tells the group she wants to be a Nazi ghost.
'You choose your species and come up with a back story. Hers was that her character was a guest from a crazy, dark Nazi universe.
'It's supposed to be a game in a medieval, fantasy setting but she would just argue if she didn't get her way.
'So we went on our quest with a robot, a couple of elves, wizards and this weird Nazi.
'Aside from the character's background he didn't do anything racist or too alarming. We didn't know about her interests at that time so we just got on with it.
Ms Szigeti recalled how Souvannarath began to idolize black-death metal bands in her mid-teens.
She became particularly infatuated with Varg Vikernes, a white supremacist musician convicted in 1994 of killing a rival guitarist and burning down three churches in Norway, describing him as 'cute' and writing essays about him.
'Her work was always dark and full of violence, there were soldiers and Nazis and all this weird stuff,' Sabrina said.
'She acted normal on the surface. She was never physically violent but she would get aggressive and upset if you criticized her.
'Everyone was uncomfortable but we just avoided trying to start a fight with her. 'If you asked her straight up 'are you a Nazi?' she would argue that she wasn't.
As far back as 2007 - when she was just 15 - she allegedly wrote 'free speech is dead' in one forum, adding: 'That's why we need people like David Duke to bring it to life again.'
In another warped entry, writing that same year under the pseudonym Snoopyfemme she wrote: 'They use sex in commercials all the time to sell products. Why don't they ever use violence?
'Wouldn't you love to see a bunch of guys tearing each other apart with machine guns to get a bowl of Cheerios?
'Sure, it might traumatize our children, but in my opinion, children aren't being traumatized enough.
'The only reason for Americans to breed is to create more soldiers to fight for freedom. We need to weed out the weaklings early on. Survival of the fittest, man.'
'She was very odd to the point among a lot of our classmates that no-one was surprised by her arrest.
'She was a very lonely person - but she isolated herself. 'From what I remember she was even suspended for stabbing someone with a pencil in middle school.'
'She was known for putting spells on people. She would do it by saying weird things and then putting on a curse - obviously we did not take her seriously.
'She would break out into laughter in the middle of class for absolutely no reason.
'When we saw that Lindsay did something like this, nobody was surprised. She was the one most likely.'

NO NUT NOVEMBER WITH RORY CHARACTERS
Pairing(s): Gabriel (2014) x GN! reader, Euronymous x GN! reader, and Jack Thurlow x GN! reader
Tags/Warnings: Pure smut, penetrated reader but no mentions of which hole (so it works for anyone), sub reader for euro and jack but soft dom reader for gabe, slight varg vikernes slander cause as fine as emory is i hate the actual varg, kinda boring sorry :(
Notes: This is a collab with @icarus-star who is absolutely amazing! He’s writing for Danny Cooper, Chris Kenton, and Possum and you can find his fic here! Also, for the Euronymous part I am STRICTLY going off of Rory’s portrayal in the movie Lords of Chaos. I hope they’re not too ooc i really tried to make them accurate
GABRIEL
Okay so I have always felt that Gabe is on the asexual spectrum, specifically demisexual and/or aceflux
In other words, I think that he has little to no sexual attraction to someone he hasn’t formed a bond with. For the aceflux part, I think that he has some periods of times where he feels no sexual attraction at all and has a very low sex drive and other times where he has to go at it at least 3 times a day (and obviously times where he’s in between the two)
So, some years are easier than others and sometimes he can go for months without having to jerk off or have sex but I’m going to be talking about a month where he has a pretty high sex drive
I feel like he doesn’t often participate, but one year, you wanted to try it with him and he agreed
It is TORTURE FOR HIM
Poor boy is so pent up because in the last few weeks of October, his sex drive started to get higher again :(
Within the first few days, he’s so whiney and pent up and all he wants to do is hold your hand and kiss you as you two make love
I think for this year’s no nut november, he lasts a week MAYBE two before hes whining and telling you that you won
He’s so teary when he finally gets inside you and he cums almost as soon as you start moving
He needs you to take control because he gets fucked dumb so quickly
Overall, he doesn’t last long but the sex afterward makes it worth it
EURONYMOUS/ØYSTEIN AARSETH
He usually doesn’t care about no nut november, but stupid varg brought it up to the rest of the inner circle so now they’re all doing it.
On Halloween, he fucks you until you’re both overstimulated and passed out to hopefully make this easier for you both
He goes into it pretty cocky, thinking he’ll win the prize that the inner circle decided on
And he does pretty well
Until midway into week 2
Euro has a VERY high sex drive. Like at least 5-6 times a week but thats on a bad week
He could barely sleep in the same bed as you, your scent instantly making him pop a boner
He NEEDED to feel you again and by tuesday of the 3rd week, hes shoving you on the bed and tearing your clothes off
He fucks you so hard that you can’t walk for a few days and he has to either carry you everywhere or bring it to you
He’s pounding into you and saying the nastiest shit
He’s so mean about it but the aftercare is way better than normal
JACK THURLOW
I know that his fans (me included tbh) loves to make him out as a sex fiend but honestly, I think he has a pretty average sex drive
Out of the three characters I picked, he’s the one making it to the end
He’s only doing this cause he’s curious to see if it does anything (cough cough make him more emotional so he can write kick ass poems cough cough)
He lets you cock warm him on the last night of november
“Quit moving. Only an hour left. Be good”
Once it’s December first, you know you’ll need to call out for work in the morning.
He fucks you at his desk before taking you to the bed
He fucks you until he’s shooting blanks, and even then, he keeps going for 1-2 more rounds
The last week was really hard on him but he didn’t realize until he was back inside you
I genuinely think that he became more insufferable and aggravated without realizing it at the 2 ½ week mark
He takes care of you reaaallll well for the next couple days hehe

if varg was gen z, he'd post those fuckin thirst traps on tik tok, but only the ones that those cringe ahh metalhead guys post.
he'd get everyone hot and bothered in the comment section, and this would only be a ploy to promote his debut album.
also, he would make smutty boyfriend asmr videos (which i would absolutely not watch guys!!! never!!!) but he would keep that shit on the low down. eventually after a couple years, people would be like "why does that greifi asmr guy on youtube sound like count grishnackh????" and then he'd pretend he's not him. but he would play it up. he would be like "ooooh i suppose i do" and he'd make videos on tiktok with his voice changer so he could sound like gerifi as if he isn't

So tired of the unnecessary Mayhem banter and also the obscene amount of fucking posers who are LITTERING all things Mayhem. Are they actually the best black metal band? Imo, no, there's way better out there. The reason they're the most popular is because they're the most legendary!! I don't think Euronymous's riffs are actually that good, and I don't think Dead's vocals are actually incredible and set the standard-- but I respect their legacy and I respect the people who are in that band and who have been in it (even Varg....... a little bit) because they are/were real human beings and their only relevance in life isn't that they played in some fucking band, they had/have personal lives and thoughts. Just because Pelle is smiling and looking silly in a lot of his photos doesn't undermine the fact he was terribly unwell, he's not your fucking tragic golden angel, he was some guy you probably wouldn't have liked if you knew him personally. Tears didn't trickle down when he wasn't feeling too great, he cut himself and killed small animals?! And Euronymous wasn't some fat, ugly, gay dickhead, he was well liked among his peers!! People just hate men who aren't conventionally attractive (it's literally just that he didn't wash his hair) -- "He took a picture of Dead after his suicide!" DO YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THIS BAND HAS BEEN TRYING TO TEACH FOR LIKE, THE PAST 30 YEARS!?!?! It's about guts, gore, hatred, and everything antiChrist!! of fucking course he took a picture of Dead, dead. It was also most likely an incredibly traumatic moment for him!? Dude went off the rails after Pelle died
And why does no one talk about Hellhammer?? He was there!!
he's pretty :p And there's so many other guys who were/are in Mayhem, why is the focus always shone on Dead, Euronymous, and Count Dicksnack!!!?! Necrobutcher is sometimes mentioned... but only as a source of historical knowledge, even though he's a POS and incredibly biased ... because,, as I've stated before, these guys aren't characters in a play for you, they're everyday guys you maybe wouldn't even like... because they preach sin, death, and the devil...?
I've also seen some REALLY bizarre statements stemming from people who have a passion for shitting on Mayhem. Such as "Dead was self-centered" and the most insane take yet "Euronymous deserved it" FUCK OFF!!!!! He did NOT deserve death. I will defend Øystein Aarseth to my grave, I swear. I don't agree with, like any of his opinions and ideals, but I wholeheartedly believe he did not deserve to be murdered. Did he burn down churches? Yeah, and that's fucked up. Did he take a picture of his friend's corpse? Yeah, and that's fucked up. Did he deserve to be murdered? NOOOO!! Anyone who thinks he deserved to be murdered.... hear me now: I will fold you like laundry then shove you up my ass. You're actually fucking deranged to say that about a person.
Making fun of Mayhem everytime someone mentions it, even going out of your way to find someone talking about it... you will never be kvlt sorry :P you aren't cool you're just fat. "They're too popular" and you are listening to Darkthrone? Almost equally as popular? If not that you're listening to Bathory and Venom guaranteed
Also I am #1 Pelle Ohlin fan cause no one else who simultaneously really likes him also respects him as a person and as a deceased person. The crown is mine cause wtf?? All Mayhem fans on Pinterest should be banned
Finally, do I even like Mayhem that much? No, they're pretty mediocre. But they were the first band I was really invested in, so I will defend them and die on this hill.

ride the lightning
loc!euronymous x f!reader • drabble
As usual it was a cold and cloudy day in Oslo, and a quiet afternoon in Helvete: Euronymous was focused in his office while Faust was restocking vinyls in the shop, and she was quietly watching a film in the corner, lying down with a magazine which she flicked through when the film got boring.
A gasp caught the attention of the young woman, who wasn't an employee there but had the privilege of being at home because she was close to them. She turned her head and looked up quickly to look at Faust, who was holding a record. When she saw that he was fine and nothing serious was wrong her head returned to its original position almost without thinking, but then she turned her head to look at him again, focusing on the disc he was holding. He turned to look at her as well, both eyes and mouths wide as saucers, smiling a huge grin.
"No fucking way!" she said seeing the green disc her friend held in his hands as she dropped the magazine and stood up to approach him, almost laughing with excitement at the surprise: a green edition of Metallica's Ride the Lightning, a very rare and badly printed factory version.
"Euronymous!" said Faust calling his friend out of his office as he set the disc on the counter.
"Øystein!" she mimicked.
"What?" he asked from there, raising his voice as they did so that he could be heard.
"Just come here, fuck!" she insisted almost in a hurry, even though the disc wasn't going anywhere.
The aforementioned, as he defeatedly got up from his chair and left his office, thought for a moment that it was some letter that had arrived. He even thought for a second that maybe they were looking at a newspaper with some crime committed by Varg on the front page. He thought the same thing when he saw them standing around the counter, Faust on the outside and she on the inside, where he ended up as well, standing beside her and staring at the disc in astonishment.
"It's your lucky day! You can sell it at a premium, I'm sure some collector will buy it at a good price!"
"No, it's for you," he said, calm and determined.
"What?" She asked confused.
"It's your favourite band, your favourite record," he said as if it was obvious that she had to keep it.
"I already have it, I don't need it," she shook her head, "and you need the money."
"I appreciate that you care about my finances," he said, holding back a small laugh, "but they're my problem. Keep it, I insist."
Knowing them and seeing that it was going to take a long time, Faust rolled his eyes and continued to replace the discs as if nothing had happened.
"No, it's yours."
"And I want you to have it."
"I don't want it, thanks."
"You're such a Metallica fan that you even write these things called fanfics, you go to Sweden every year and when Cliff died it was like they killed your mother, who else deserves to have this record more than you?"
"It's not about deserving, it's about the fact that I already have it and it's yours. And you need the fucking money more than I do."
Euronymous was about to protest, but Faust opened his mouth first to say:
"Fuck, if you keep this up, I'll take it."

have u seen vargs new post on twitter about his daugther? that is so far-fetched and insane imo.
'Sentimental post by a failed father'
What a touching title from someone who, if the fact that he had a child previous to prison WASN'T public information, would take this secret to his grave.
This is another one of his uninspired attempts to 'clean his image' after a mistake that, unfortunately for him, the Internet never forgot about.
He did the most cowardly move that weak men do, he abandoned his child. But, it's not surprising at all. If anything, it must piss him off greatly to have to come up with excuses of why not raising her/ being part of her life is just her mother's fault and after all, he is also a victim of unfavorable life circumstances, etc, etc when it's all his fault.
If you care about your child, you want to be part of their life. That's a fact. You will do everything you can to fix that broken communication, to regain your child's trust, to get to know them for goodness sake, everything that a loving parent would do. But he preferred the easy way out (get out of prison, fuck off to France and start over like the past is irrelevant).
He may feel remorse now after so many years, but due to his laziness, he still lets things just be.
I can understand starting over, building a new family and everything but there is no excuse to abandon your other child like that. Let's not forget that he (when confronted with this inconvenient piece of information) referred to Rebeka as 'Ah, my teenage mistake.. ' this tells you everything about his actual indignation towards her and it's sick.
Fathers have a very important meaning in our lives. They teach us skills and confidence. In the first years of a child's life, the mother is the most important, and then in their adolescence, the father becomes more influential. It's a well-known fact that children who come from fatherless households struggle with social anxiety and a massive lack of confidence.
But in her case, unfortunately, it's better off this way. He wouldn't be a positive influence at all.
I believe he is a very absent father figure and absence will later speak out. Abuse doesn't have to imply only physical violence to be considered abuse. Both him and Marie abuses their children by restricting them access to the real world. His children will struggle with social rules when they finally grow up and move away. He may have one or two kids who marry young (an arranged marriage, for sure) and stay close to the family, but he cannot expect that all of his 7 children will do the same. The more you try to keep something away from someone, the more interested and curious about that thing they will become (of course, I'm talking about the real world that it's strictly controlled and restricted for those children).
I feel bad for Rebeka. She was born when Varg was only 19-20 years old (when Burzum's 1992 album was released by Øystein), quite close to when Helvete was shut down (1993).
She was briefly mentioned in Varg's judgment after being convicted for murder and arson, but the fact that he was a newborn child didn't mean anything for the court.

Varg would definitely baby trap Y/N... 👀 (I mean, he already do it irl...)
୨୧ oh my goshhh, you are so so so right and i love you for supporting my darker brain rot, dark! varg and baby trapping just works…
i don’t particularly like using the same formula so i’m gonna say he pokes holes in condoms instead of tampering with birth control! he uses a little push pin and pokes a tiny little hole in the condom!
you guys usually fuck raw because you use birth control but after an issue with the doctor and prescription, you would be without it for a little while so you make him wear a condom in the meantime, much to his dismay because he loves fucking your raw, feeling you raw…
when all of this is going on, when you’re waiting on your next supply of birth control which would be around two months, you and varg begin arguing more… arguing about his antics of burning churches near constantly and always bragging about his incriminating acts to people, it gets on your nerves more than anything, makes you feel like your relationship is disposable to him because you sure as shit will not be waiting years for him to get out of prison when he gets arrested for arson due to someone ratting him out or the police finding out… but your relationship is anything but disposable to varg, he loves you more than anything! you’re so perfect for him, so good to him… his perfect girl, his gorgeous girl…
and varg knows this, he’s heard you talking to friends and family over the phone, quietly telling them about how if he doesn’t quit it, you will be leaving him! he’ll always listen in to the calls, hidden behind a door and scoffing quietly under his breath, you won’t even get a chance to leave him, he will not let it happen!
to him, it felt like fate that the issues with your birth control arise during this turbulent time in your relationship, felt like fate that you told him to switch to condoms for now, felt like fate that condoms are oh so easily tampered with using a simple little push pin… he had his plan all sorted out and ready to go within days… he will not let you leave him, wether he goes to prison or not… you’ll always be his…
even better for varg, you’re always beyond fucked out after sex with him, so dazed after being fucked deeply in a mating press, you don’t even realise that his cum is flowing out of you, he sees that exhausted look in your eyes and simply tells you to go to sleep, that you can shower when you wake up but for now, you should just get some sleep and maybe sleep with your legs up tonight? he heard that’s good for you… yeah, definitely not just to help his cum flow deeper into you! hell, he might even finger some of his cum back into your cunt when he sees you’re deep in the mist of sleep… just to be sure!
he knew that when you got morning sickness just a couple days later, when you came to him in tears with a pregnancy test held tightly in your shaky hands, when you wanted nothing but love and support from him… he knew he had you right where he wanted you, no matter how dubious he had to get to have what he wanted, he had it now and he did not regret a single thing, why would he? he just does not want to lose you, no way <3

still thinkin about this strip, it's a good one but also kinda funny cause like there ARE bands that actually were 'sincere' about being evil (primarily in the realm of black metal), like Mayhem's whole deal (this strip actually came out less than a year after Dead's suicide), the church burnings in Norway during the second wave of black metal, the dude from Dissection who killed himself in a satanic ritual fashion in 2006 (he was also an accessory to murder years prior), or kvaforth from Shining who encourages and performs self mutilation on stage (and who is just an all around shitstain of a human being). Of course, these incidents are rare, and honestly just proof that these black metal bands that are 'sincere' about their nihilism are really still just a bunch of edgelords doing really awful shit for attention and notoriety. It's very well understood now that Dead's suicide was encouraged and spurred on by euronymous, who then went on to milk his death to bolster Mayhem's image as an evil fucked up band (before getting murdered by varg, lol).
In the wider metal scene though, nihilism, satanic, and general evil imagery is primarily used as an outlet for negative emotions or more fun edginess (think Cannibal Corpse or Infant Annihilator), but the whole satanic panic at this time really drove this line of thinking that ALL these bands (and even just metal in general) are actually legitimately evil and satanic, though only christians and like kids (which is part of the joke in this strip) are gullible enough to actually believe that. I mean even Slipknot was accused of being satanic when they rolled around in the late 90s despite not leaning into that aspect at all. Anyways idk what my point is with this post is I just wanted to ramble about metal LOL
