*: ·ﾟ✧ ⚔ 𝙸'𝙳 𝙼𝙰𝙺𝙴 𝙰 𝙻𝙾𝚃 𝙾𝙵 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴𝚂 𝙰𝚁𝙾𝚄𝙽𝙳 𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴 / The Governance of New Asgard
I have been meaning to write this out since ‘ Endgame ’ came out & these are some general thoughts / headcanons about how Valkyrie decides to rule New Asgard. These headcanons are pretty flexible & will probably change over time – & I will make an update when / if they do. & of course we’ll see what happens when Thor : Love & Thunder comes out because … FINGERS CROSSED we get all the details about how New Asgard is governed & I will be totally validated in all ways!
If you are curious about anything please drop me an ask !
1. Once Thor leaves to join with the Guardian’s, Valkyrie calls a town meeting - if not right at that moment very early the next morning. She makes the announcement to all of Asgard & – while she wants to respect Thor’s choice & it is his crown to give … she does all her people the chance to VOTE on this change. It is a resounding ‘ yes ’ – but in the name of transparency, the Valkyrie vows to have another vote in nine months time to check in on her leadership. If they believe someone else is more worthy – she will turn over the honor.
2. In the same meeting, the new King of Asgard asks that the people elect a Ruling Council, of FIVE members from the community. Two should be elders, one should be of middle age & the final member a young Asgardian, so all views are represented. The elections happen approximately three weeks later & citizens may elect themselves or someone else. Anyone over the Asgardian age of 18 can vote using a write in ballot system. Elections continue until a consensus is made which in its first iteration - does not take any more than a day. Votes are counted by a trusted panel of three elders. The new Ruling Council will meet with the King every three days ( or more if necessary ) for a meeting, on that same day there is OPEN COURT - where citizens of New Asgard might bring problems, concerns or questions to the King & council. The Council also rules for nine months & then there is a vote of confidence. Members can remain on the council for terms no longer than three years & may run again after three years have passed since their last tenure.
3. After the initial nine month trial period, the King may rule for three continuous years before there is another vote of confidence. Unless there is an emergency or scandal, where the King may be disposed. The Ruling Council must be put up for a vote of confidence every year and a half, if no one wishes to oppose the current members a vote can be skipped.
4. There is no coronation for the King of New Asgard, instead after the second & final vote after the initial nine months there is a FEAST that lasts three days. & while she resists the idea, at the end of the three days, the people do present the King with a crown, made of melted down gold trinkets & jewelry salvaged from what was left of Asgard’s ore. It is a simple circlet with a piece of the root of Yggdrasil that once sat in Asgard in its center instead of a stone. The King wears this only on sacred days or when a vote is called – or on another special occasion.
5. On days of Open Court, the King & Council meet openly in the temple, under the newly planted World Tree. A simple carved chair sits under this tree, where the King sits to hear the concerns or complaints of her people. It is without ornament but instead carved with sacred runes & patterns. When considering a case brought before her, the King often relies on her council to help with the final judgement. FAIRNESS is valued above all else in New Asgard & if claimant feels a decision is unfair they may appeal the decision.
6. The King of New Asgard does not enjoy many perks – & this is PURPOSEFUL. There is no palace ( she lives in a simply renovated cabin a top a hill, that is not much different than those of her people. The only difference is that her cabin does include a separate room which she uses as an office & armory ) & she works on a rotation of tasks ( fishing, cleaning, building repair, training & farming ) just like any other citizen of New Asgard. The only difference being - she does skip days to attend council meetings & open court, along with any travel she may need to take into the wider world. But often still haul in fishing nets or help till a field even with these other duties.
7. While New Asgard is open to ALL, currently – voting & other privileges is currently restricted to only Asgardian refugees or - ( although this has yet to happen ) if a Midgardian or other is married to a naturalized Asgardian. Once they have been married, the non-Asgardian might then participate in the same way. If anyone wishes to live in the village they must ask leave of the King & Council to be given a living space, if permission is granted they will also get a food & beer ration, clothing & a work rotation. Eventually citizens of New Asgard will have specific citizenship but - that needs to be further figured out with the country of Norway, who will have to gift the land to the Asgardians.

King of Asgard
𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗔 — I don’t think that this is spoiler - y and I have a lot more to say about Love & Thunder now that I’ve had some time to think about it but I still feel SO VERY validated that Valkyrie is still ‘ Valkyrie ’ ( or Val which I also appreciate and as of now --- ) not Brunnhilde. This isn’t a huge update from her other appearances in the MCU but it feel really good in relation to me and my choice to * not * write her with that name on this blog. I’m still hoping that if they do go that way ( ... if you’ve seen L & T and are familiar with Jane Foster’s run in the comics they are basing it off of ... ) they consider taking the name of the Valkyrie that is used in ‘ King In Black: Return of the Valkyries ’ because that character is more closely aligned to the MCU version of Valkyrie and ... would be very cool.
I think a lot of my characterizations and headcanons on this blog hold up to what was portrayed in L & T ( what little development they decided to show ) but the name choice, specifically really feels good because that was something I really thought about and struggled over back in 2017 when I started this blog. Not that I had to stay close to canon because ... I do not annnnd I do have other things to rant and talk about in relation to the movie but I want to focus on this specific thing as a WIN.
𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 — the darkness that smudged the outlines and brought a familiar shine to the sea, that made Midgard feel like a place that could be HOME. As she moved down the carefully maintained main street, free now of tourists and Asgardians alike, the Valkyrie felt a tug in the center of her chest that still felt jarring to her, a a reminder that this ... was home. All that was left of what she had been, the glory of Asgard distilled into a few acres, a collection of a few hundred souls.
Fingers curled against her palms as she took a deep breath of sea air and followed the road to the elaborate marble outcropping that looked over the sea, breathing in both the salt in the air and a REALIZATION that now ---- there was no where else to go.
Following the path, blown forward by the force of the wind and her own curiosity, the Valkyrie found her. Sitting in the shadow of the statue, for once dwarfed by the size of another, small in the darkness. Another warrior so far from home, just as LOST at sea as the King of New Asgard felt that she ( still - ) was ...
“ You left without saying goodbye, ” she smiled and tilted her head to one side before lowering herself onto the bench beside the Amazon, the moon high in the night sky, causing the marble around them to glow. She was quiet for a moment, the smile fading from her lips as she leaned closer, her expression earnest,“ If you need to LEAVE, Diana ... you can tell me. You are not my subject, you don’t owe me anything but ... if you don’t feel comfortable here ---- you can go. ”

Still writing these so this starter call is still 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡 !
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗞𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗔 𝗖𝗥𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗘 — outside the windows of the conference room when the Valkyrie had taken her seat at the head of the table and -- in her most kingly voice -- called the Trans - Atlantic Trade Meeting ... meeting OPEN.
It had called to her, that expanse of blue intersected with long trailing pieces of cloud, teasing her with all its POSSIBILITIES as her eyes were pulled back to the piles of paper spread out before her. Strings of numbers trailed down their length in never ending rows, buffeted by stacks of charts that blurred together in one giant mass of ... black and red.
It was mind numbing but it was also ... the FUTURE of New Asgard, the boring mechanics that had made and would continue to make this warren of space tossed vikings ... a viable town, a real country that would stand up shoulder to shoulder with the Wakanda’s and United States of the world ... some day. If only their king could keep her eyes on the paper that was sprawled out before her, and keep focused on those speaking around her. If only the King of New Asgard could stay attuned to the battle plan laid out in crop yields and investments, the prospective interest of tourists from South America and then Asia, the possibility of trade in gold and cloth weaving, action figures of gods thought dead, goat milk, they could maybe ... stand a chance ----
The first clap of THUNDER came like a respite from the gods, a distraction that cut the American delegate off mid - sentence and turned all eyes toward the windows. What was once blue sky was now starting to churn in the distance over the sea, spinning white clouds into gray. The Valkyrie smiled and leaned forward in her seat, palms flat against the reams of paper. “ Don’t look so excited senator, ” she said it in jest and yet she felt a little thrill starting in her chest. How long had it been since Thor had returned ... home ? " Not every thunder storm is the heralding of a god ... ” her eyes lingered on the windows before she peeled them away and returned back on the besuited woman who looked flustered. How often had she been interrupted by the possible entrance of a Norse myth ? By the look on her face the answer was ... never. The warrior king leaned back in her seat and brought one leather booted foot onto the edge of the table and grinned, “ It rains in New Asgard, just like it does on the other side of Atlantic --- a thunder storm is no reason to stop a presentation this ... thrilling. ”
Somewhere over her right shoulder the Valkyrie could feel Miek’s bristling. Together, they were currently working on ‘ Kingly Decorum ’, but the warrior smoothed it over with a smile and a courteous unfurling of a palm. Sans a weapon it was an invitation to ... Please, CONTINUE.
As the woman opened her mouth and continued her monologue on the importance of high soybean imports --- there was another crack of thunder accompanied by a jagged slice of lightening - throwing the room into sharp, black and white bureaucratic relief and brining the Valkyrie to her feet. There was a HUMMING in the air now, a sound that made the hair on her arms stand up and caused the Midgardians to grip their leather bound bags and well laminated folders. Something was happening -- something other worldly was ... coming, the Valkyrie could feel it in her bones and she didn’t think it was a golden haired god ...
In a blur of pinstripes and metal the Valkyrie was out of her seat and just as quick out of the room --- after all why did Kings have an assistant if not to ... leave ABRUPTLY due to outer worldly concerns ? Miek could make her apologies in a very long and very drawn out series of hisses ( along with a diagram and a details plan for rescheduling - that she was already drawing up -- ) while leading the delegation to the shelter that had been build beneath the Sal.
By the time that the Valkyrie made it to the center of town she could see that this was not any thunder storm - her gaze was directed downwards towards the screaming, retreating crowd of a tour that had just left the shrine built to what was left of Mjölnir. Beneath the outcropping the sea had turned an ugly green, with white capped waves in what had, only moments before, been a still afternoon scene. The tour was running from the exposed platform of white marble as the clouds above them turned the same brackish color as the ocean below them, the clouds almost black as they rumbled. And yet one, small figure remained, one body leaning over the glass covered shards of that mythical weapon as the wind picked up and their clothing - simple, Midgardian, was tugged at by the ever increasing gusts that came in, ANGRY from the sea.
The Valkyrie moved quickly down the well paved main street, down the elegant steps that told of Asgard’s history in scenes etched in gold and marble. Dragonfang materialized in her hand as she ushered tourists and locals alike into shops and homes, a force of WARRIORS building at her back as she leapt over gates used to keep tourists ( and their multi - national currency -- ) at bay. It was only then, as she stepped onto the marbled terrace that she saw how small the person was ... a woman -----
“ What are you DOING ? ” her voice bellowed towards the guards that stood mute around the fractured weapon, their own pointed towards the female intruder and yet doing ... nothing to stop her. “ How can you just ----- stand there -- ? ” The Valkyrie cried out in frustration as she moved towards the stranger, her blade bright in the gathering dark. A promise filled the air as thunder rumbled and the Valkyrie felt that old ache in her arms, that familiar pulse of mortality that ran through her veins when faced with a fight. Her grip tightened around the hilt of Dragonfang as the glass around Mjölnir began to crack, the wind picking up, the thunder rumbling so loud and so powerfully now that -- distant windows were shattering, marble starting to crack around the plinth that held the mythical hammer.
The King of New Asgard cried out as her knuckles went white with the tightness of her grip, she was mere steps from the stranger, this small, improbable thief. “ STEP BACK or I will have no choice --- ” she was screaming over the howling of the wind, “ I don’t want to hurt you, but I ---- ” it was then that the sky seemed to open up, that the sheer power of the gods ---- threw the Valkyrie to the ground, forcing the wind out of her as she looked up towards the churn of storm clouds to see the ... impossible.

Dust curled around wings and talons, the hum of New Asgard hushing for a moment as the bustle of the town seemed to pause, to look upwards ... in awe.
“ You know ... you’ll need to file a permit --- to land ... your FRIEND, here, ” lowering her hand, the Valkyrie grinned in pure delight, reaching out her hand towards the glistening muzzle in greeting -- “ Technically. ”

☽◯☾┄─ ❝ And if you look at your reflection is it all you want it to be? ❞
Nine Inch Nails - Right Where it Belongs ✰
IF THE VALKYRIE COULD CATCH HER REFLECTION IN THIS MOMENT — she would see furrowed brows, a deep streak of dirt across one cheek, darkness under her eyes and blood caked under short nails. She was working hard -- TOO HARD, every moment, of every day. It was a burden that she needed to distract her from other things ... other pain. But it was still just that ... a burden.
She was quiet for a moment, considering, brows furrowing more deeply. “ When does a reflection show the TRUTH of ... anything ? ” the warriors voice was soft but low, heavy with something unseen. “ My reflection is a flat, static representation of what I am at this moment ... and in this moment ... I am tried, ” she laughed ruefully, fixing her gaze on the other, a smile flexing one corner of her mouth upwards, “ There is truth in that. ”

You give and give. you are a gentle heart, BROKEN but still standing ... always lending a hand for those who need it, expecting nothing in return. You deserve someone taking your hand and kissing your open palm, the hands which have selflessly helped so many others.
