ok so i lowkey stopped my rewatch of vinland saga bc i started reading the irl history and that is genuinely more interesting to me
all imma say is why wasn't it about gudrid? like irl her story is WAY more interesting than thorfinn's. she was the one who'd already been on several expeditions by the time she met thorfinn, and she was the one who convinced him to go to vinland. after thorfinn's death she kept on traveling and exploring. we were ROBBED
white people appropriating aave is always irritating but specifically the use of "-ahh" like "goofy-ahh" "stupid-ahh" bro if you are not black just say ass. ass belongs to everyone, dumbass. are you afraid of cursing?? youre stealing the language of black americans cos you don't want to be caught saying a bad word like ASS ?
