IVAR SCREAMING ACROSS THE TABLE THAT HIS BROTHERS A BOTTOM IS THE MOST LOTHBROK FAMILY BULLSHIT
“I HEARD YOU CANT GET IT UP”
“I HEARD YOU LIKE IT UP THE ASS”
I evocative nothing better from this FUCKING bloodline
Me, lying awake at 2AM: I feel like... King Ecbert and Ragnar Lothbrok loved each other BECAUSE of how much they both loved Athelstan.. like yes, of course, there was obvious mutual admiration as they were both great warriors and strategists B U T the bottom line is, at the end of the day, they were both just two people brought together by the love they both felt for the same person. It's like they were the only two people in the world who could SEE how marvelous, how smart, how kind, how brave, how GLORIOUS this lil' monk-turned-viking-turned-monk-again was. Nobody else could see it but them (and maybe Judith). And sure that came with feelings of possessiveness, jealousy and even the urge to compete for Athelstan's affection but the FACT! REMAINS! that nobody understood how heartbreaking it really was that Athelstan was no longer in this world when he was killed, except for them two (and maybe Judith)! It must've been incredibly lonely for Ecbert to have to kill the only other person who got that. In this essay, I...
Ragnar and Egbert fight for Athelstan. I love it
I want an au with Athelstan the vampire. That's why I'm actually drawing Athelstan the vampire now.
I think Athelstan has always regretted and would not want to drink human blood, and Ragnar would always give him his own drink and be content with a moment of intimacy with Athelstan while he pressed his lips to his neck..
And he would be jealous if he knew that Egbert was doing the same for Athelstan
(Excuse me if it is written crookedly. I still use Google translator)
ok so I know everyone is always talking about how Ragnar is so in love with Athelstan (which he is, fight me) but can we just take a second to talk about how King Ecbert was also similarly head over heels for him?
To the extent that literally the second Judith confesses her child is Athelstan’s, Ecbert immediatly ceases his punishment for adultery on her and becomes fiercely protective of her and the child.
Not only that, but he seems downright ecstatic at the prospect of his son’s wife having the son of Athelstan, and him having a part in raising said child.
He’s even the one to name the child, instead of his son (who is married to Judith).
He brings him up all the time, much to Aethelwulf’s annoyance, always wondering if he’s doing well.
Constantly revisiting the library Athelstan frequented in the castle and the manuscripts he helped translate for him.
He dotes on Alfred above all his other grandchildren, possibly because of the striking ressemblance the boy has with his biological father, both physically and in character, and therefore feels like this might be a way to be close to Athelstan, somehow.
He tried his best to make Athelstan stay with him, and was greatly disappointed when he chose to be with Ragnar and the vikings instead of him.
He has a vision of Athelstan and he says “oh how I’ve waited for you my friend” with the THIRSTIEST MOTHERFUCKIN EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE AND VOICE and then attempts to hold??? grab??? the apparition
when the vision disappears, king ecbert pleads for him not to go in one of like two moments in the entire series in which he actually shows vulnerability (and guess what? the other moment is also about Athelstan so fasten your seatbelts)
when he finally learns the truth about Athelstan’s demise, ecbert crumples and upon getting to know the details of his death, scolds ragnar for failing to protect him and says that if he’d been with him, Athelstan would still be alive.
And if none of that convinces you, then I have the ultimate proof: eye-fucking. Lots and LOTS of eye-fucking.
That’s it. That’s all I wanted to say on a friday night.
Ok. Dammit. The king Ecbert tending to Athelstan’s wounds brain rot is strong right now.
what King Ecbert says: Athelstan must stay. He can speak for all sides. We need him.
what King Ecbert means: FINDERS KEEPERS
