Ragnar and Athelstan having pillow talk and sharing funny gossip and telling stories

@radios-not-dead @ssardine8 @leslie-red @grantairescurls @inrealvampire

[grantairescurls]

and its either the most intellectual or nonsensical shit youve ever heard

[den-som-er-forelsket-i-manen]

Sooner or later I had to draw them

Fuck, I want to write a fanfic about these two, but I know I'll probably never do it

[grantairescurls]

i like to sprinkle a little bit of broken english in athelstan’s dialogue here and there because if i talk weird english then he must as well.

[leslie-red]

this moment is so intense and precious.....

Ragnar could really not killed him...Their fate was already sealed.

[grantairescurls]

confession time: in 2018 (i was 13) i wrote a pretty gruesome short fic on a note pad that started with this scene, my mom found it and she sat me down at the kitchen table and asked me if anyone was showing me weird videos at school

[grantairescurls]

okay here it is. these all make sense to me even tho they might not make sense to you but this is MY birthday party and I get to play with the dolls first

@lovecrimeagh you seemed interested

[mrgabel]

I had the pleasure to draw these special couples for this year's commissions. That I get to draw all these diverse and sweet characters is always such a huge blessing!

Thank you so much for trusting me with their designs and also the friendly conversations when I was sharing my progress!

I wish everyone a happy day full of love and appreciation 💖

what if in S1 E5 while they were saving Ragnar at Floki's house, he woke up in pain when Lagertha was going to cauterize his wounds, and Athelstan immediately sat down close and held his hand and kept reassuring him, saying he's alright, and Ragnar focused just on Athelstan until he passed out again

Athelstan does it without thinking and only processes it later and thinks it's somewhat weird of him to try so hard to comfort the tough Viking who also happens to be his captor, but he would do the same again and again

Ragnar laying there listening to Athelstan's prayers for him, and it's nice falling asleep to his sweet voice

( @radios-not-dead tagging hehe + @grantairescurls @ssardine8 @leslie-red)

[grantairescurls]

athelstan’s “do not let this man die” with everyone looking at him weird is so special to me. he didnt care that he was audibly praying to HIS god in front of a bunch of potentially dangerous and ignorant norsemen, all he cared about was doing what he could to make ragnar survive

[lovecrimeagh]

omg you're back!! I missed you!

and yesss ohhh yes. I didn't even exactly think of it this way, thank you for putting this in my mind!! I suppose he was praying in English too.. and yeah, he didn't care about risking himself as long as he can at least pray for Ragnar omg omg omg. I'm writing a fic of that and this scene will be included!! (but Athelstan holds Ragnar's hand bc he wakes up as i said in some other post hehehe) <3

[grantairescurls]

im baaaaackkkkk and as a bilingual ive noticed people always forget that…. he is forced to speak a language he learned BY HIMSELF when he was very very young! of course some english/latin (when praying) is gonna slip out when hes nervous. i think that is so cool and people should play with that in fics more

[grantairescurls]

im gonna make an athelstan centric ship tier list wait

[grantairescurls]

my very hot take is that athelbert is the hottest ship in the show. i could watch them pork on the screen for 12 consecutive hours and never get tired of it.

athelnar on the other hand? i need them to be sad and/or soft for a little bit every few episodes and then they can go back to porking
