brokeyourstupidcrap said: Ragnar has always wanted adventure, from the very first episode. He wants to meet new people, see new places. It’s what attracted him to Athelstan in the first place. And yet, he sold himself as “Odinson”? AND YET he prolly thinks Odin/God are one.

Odin gave up his eye for knowledge, Ragnar said he would give much more than that.  you’re totally on point here i think, the xenophobic attitudes of the people who surround him were getting Ragnar down so hard that Athelstan was like a fresh breath of air.

i think Ragnar’s relationship to the gods is pretty on point too.  he might be bold as fuck, but when he kicks down the door of whatever afterlife he makes it into- they wont be able to tell him he didn't try his damnedest to be there.  my mom and i were talking about it and agreed that even if his attempt to get into Heaven is met with failure, Odin would likely welcome him for trying to claw his way into a foreign afterlife to honor a true friendship. lol

as far as Ragnar’s impression of gods in general, i started to get the feeling that he was open to the possibility of each faith existing side by side like spiritual multiverses, and in order to get into any of them you need to meet the requirements.. whatever they are understood to be.  for the most part, the whole ‘only our god can exist, no other’ thing seems to be interpreted by Ragnar as some childish notion that the believers came up with, as he does not presume to know the will or workings of the gods.

#28

28: A description of the person I dislike the most 

Ooh, this is kind of difficult because I don't actually have anyone I know in real life who I really dislike. In general racists, homophobes and misogynists piss me off. Fuckers who are rude to service people for no reason also deserve special mention. I'm a generally chill person so I get along with most people but, yeah, the things listed above are deal-breakers.

brokeyourstupidcrap replied to your post:archangelimpala said: I swear some fire alarms...

There ARE fire-alarms that are ultra heat sensitive. Got a mix of them in my dorm.

This particular alarm is on the second story, so I doubt it's heat sensitive (I think it's part carbon monoxide detector) It IS a GIANT ASS though

brokeyourstupidcrap replied to your post:wrath

JFC I KNOW RIGHT? I work in retail with baby/kids departments. It’s fucking ridiculous how gendered (and unequal!) it all is. I hate the parents who tell their kids to put shit back because it’s not for boys/girls. Fuck that noise!

I honestly don't know what I'd do if I saw someone telling their child to put something back because it wasn't the 'right' colour for their gender.

Ugh, it's honestly so disgusting. As though a child wearing a certain coloured t-shirt is somehow going to ruin their lives. Having parents who enforce a strict gender binary onto their kids is the thing that'll cause problems years down the line, not a child wearing a blue/pink jacket. 

Like, girls are kind of sort of allowed to wear boys clothes because being a man or wanting to be a man is considered acceptable and understandable. I feel really sorry for all the little boys who pick out pink things or 'girly' things and get given out to for it. Halloween is coming up and I'm dreading the myriad of posts about parents refusing to let their son/daughter  wear 'x/y/z' costume because of toxic gender roles.

wrath

Ooh boy we'd be here all day if I went through everything that made me angry! There's a bunch of things that get me angry and most of them are covered on my blog because I post a lot about the things I'm passionate about. If I was to pick one thing I probably haven't discussed before I'd say the overwhelming and pointless urge people get to gender-police the clothes of newborn children

Two of my cousins just had some itty bitty hairless mini-humans so me and my mama were out looking for some standard baby gifts. And it was just... walls upon walls of pink and walls upon walls of blue with the occasional sprinkling of white thrown in for a facsimile of variety. And it was so frustrating. Because I really hate the whole 'pink = girls forever and blue = boys forever and never shall the two ever mingle or else the world will implode' thing. 

So I spent most of the shopping trip really irritated because I'd pick up a cute little jacket or a sweet looking baby onesie and I'd be told to put it back because 'That's for a girl! Look at the tiny yellow buttons! Obviously not a boy's jacket!' or 'Don't be silly, that hat has a blue star on it so obviously it's not suitable for a little girl!' And it was honestly just four hours of me getting steadily more and more angry until we actually bought something in an ironically 'gender neutral' white and went home.

I don't get why baby clothes are so rigidly policed. I can understand wanting a certain item of clothing for a child. Like 'Oh I would love a red coat for the winter' or 'Those navy baby booties are adorable' and only wanting that specific item because that's what you have in mind. That's fine. I get that. But saying that an item of clothing is completely and 100% unsuitable for a certain gender because of a colour just seems so stupid to me. Especially considering all newborns look like scrunched up hairless monkeys and the only way you can tell it's biological gender is if the parent tells you. 

It was just a frustrating day for me so I kind of ranted about it. (whoops?)

Hannibal fandom! Go!

Push off a cliff: Hannibal. Like, I love him but I also hope he chokes on bread, y’know?

Frick frack: Probably Freddie ‘cause everyone knows that’d be a wild ride from start to finish.

Marry: Alana. Moon of my life~

Set on fire: Hannibal again? No, hm… Mason. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Wrap a blanket around: Will. Though, tbh, that probably didn’t even need specifying. I could have left this option completely blank and everyone in the entire universe would have known I was talking about Will Graham.

Be roommates with: I want to say Abigail so I could borrow her cute carves. But I’m hella close to the criteria her and he dad used to pick out people to murder and eat. So in the interest of my continued existence I’m going to go with Beverly ‘cause I think we’d get on grand.

Ah, this was so much fun!! Thank you! \(-ㅂ-)/ ♥ ♥ ♥
