Did you know that Lagertha character, the wife of Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings history was based on a real historical figure? Lagertha was, according to legend, a Viking warrior Danish of what is now Norway, and the wife of one time the famous Viking Ragnar Lodbrok (D. 840 or 865), His story, as recorded by the chronicler Saxo in the 12th century, may be a reflection of tales about Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr, a Nordic deity. Your name, Latinized to Lathgertha by Saxo, probably derives from the Old Norse Hlaðgerðr (Hladgerd). Its frequency provided in English-language sources as “Lagertha”, and has also been recorded as Ladgertha, Ladgerda or similar. Lagertha tale is recorded in passages in the ninth book in the Gesta Danonum a 12th century work of Danish Saxo Grammaticus story. According to him, the Lagertha career as a warrior began when FRO, Swedish Eei, invadiriu Norway and killed the Norwegian Eei Siward, FRO then had put women death of the King family in a brothel to be humiliated in public. Hearing this Ragnar Lodbrok came with an army to avenge his grandfather Siward. Many of the women dressed in men’s clothes and fought alongside Ragnar. The main one, and the key to victory Ragnar was Lagertha. Saxo relates: “Ladgerda, the Amazon, which despite a maiden, had the courage of a man, and fought in front of the bravest with her hair loose over her shoulders. All amazed with its incomparable works by blocking its flying in the back betrayed that she was a woman. ” Impressed by her courage, Ragnar courted by far. Lagertha feigned interest and Ragnar came to seek her hand, ordering his companions wait in the Valley Gaular. He was attacked by a bear and a large dog that Lagertha had kept at home, but killed the bear with his spear and choked the dog to morte.Assim, he won the hand of Lagertha in marriage. According to Saxo, Ragnar had a child with her bjorn After returning to Denmark to fight a civil war, Ragnar (which was still angry that Lagertha had established beasts against him) he divorced to marry Þóra Town-Hart, daughter of the King of Sweden Herrauðr. He won the hand of his new love after numerous adventures, but when he returned to Denmark again be faced with a civil war. He sent to Norway, to support and Lagertha, who still loved him, came to his aid with 120 ships, according to Saxo. When the heat of battle, the son of Siward Ragnar was injured, Lagertha saved the day for Ragnar with a counterattack: “Lagertha, who had an unparalleled spirit though a delicate frame, covered by its splendid bravery and command of the soldiers. on his return to Norway, she quarreled with her husband, and killed him with a spearhead that she hid in her dress

I ‘m not really a fan of fangirling, but here’s a thought. Obsession with shipping can kill all beauty and meaning of fandom. Not that I hate them, exploration of possibilities is really great and reading a good fic is immense fun. Still much of the time to make a ship work you just need to deform the carachters. They get so OOC, it’s just not them anymore, lost the idea of the autor and their purpose to the original story. And sometimes characters are degraded to just their sexuality and love lives. It makes me mad because it’s waste of really good material. Nevertheless if you ship Lilly Potter and the giant squid, go along.

There are these books, and “that ” books. None are better than the others, but ones tend to eat the time of the others. Medicine made me half time, casual, irregular reader of literature, still wouldn’t trade it for the world.

"You do not look like a reader and therefore I do not trust your opinion”

So I was told last year when someone tagged me in a long, complicated and completely unnecessary discussion about me and my blog. I was astonished. For how on earth does one look like a reader? And how on earth does someone actually believe that you can tell whether a person is a reader or not without even knowing them?

According to those people discussing me, I was not to be trusted. Why? Because I didn’t seem like a reader to them. Because I didn’t drink tea, because I didn’t have a cat and because I didn’t wear glasses. Apparently real readers do.

Ironically enough, they were completely misinformed. I do own a pair of reading glasses but I often forget to wear them. I love tea and I love cats, and while I do not have a cat of my own, one of the purest pleasures in my life is to visit my mom and be reunited with my family cat.

But of course they couldn’t know that. They only judged me from the sporadic glimpses I had chosen to share on my blog. And it doesn’t even matter that they were wrong about me – what matters is, they were wrong about everything.

I have studied comparative literature for 5 years now. If you, as an outsider, took a look at my class, you most possibly couldn’t even tell what we have in common. We’re as different as we can be. The only thing we do share is our love for books, literature, words and beautifully crafted sentences. The only thing that binds us together is our words – not our tea, cats, glasses or appearances. We look entirely different, we are entirely different, but we all enjoy reading. In fact, we all live to read.

The idea of having to look a particular way in order to be a reader is insulting. Readers come in all shapes and sizes. Readers can be extroverts or introverts, outgoing or shy. Not all readers drink tea, but some do. Not all readers like cats, but some do. Not all readers use glasses, but some do. And not all readers are extremely intelligent. Some are just somewhere in between.

– Take this from someone who has been met with nothing but prejudice since she declared herself an avid reader. Take this from someone who has had to listen to hours of “friendly advice” and people telling her that “if she dyed her hair another color people would take her more seriously”. Take this from someone who refuses to adjust to an outdated idea of how a reader ought to look.

[naniro-orinan]

Totally agree, still sometimes I catch myself doing the same thing - judge someone's stypidity by their looks. Sadly most of the time I am right. On the subject of reading - good god are the readers pretentious! Cats, tea, glasses, eco friendly shit, world peace, I am so smart! Fucking competition how many books a month/ year I read. Do you understand what you read? Not important. Geek abd nerdy are the new cool and sexy. Which means they are the same duches as everyone else, plus extra hypicritical about being an outsider

[naniro-orinan]

I generally think stalking a site is a lot better way to sink in and appreciate its content than actually using it. Posting make it a lot about you, how you want the users to see you, like you etc. It’s quite egocentic, but I decided to blog just to see what happens, so here’s my first random shit.

[fearnotthepen]

I don’t understand why books have shifted from having summaries on the back of the covers to having one-line reviews.

Seriously though. I want to know what the book is about. Not that someone from the Evening Standard thinks it’s a masterpiece.

Beacouse people respect somebody else's opinion more than their own. Which is a bit sad, but not unusual. You read it beacouse it's fashionable or because it's not, hipsters' case.
