Twitter April/May Dump

I watched the Vinland Saga stage play five times.

In Twitter site, Thorfinn won as the best character from Vinland Saga, followed by Askeladd, Hild, Knut and Einar

Hild is the father

It was Red's birthday, so I felt like drawing Stan

It was also Myre's birthday

I saw a AO3 tag so ednute, I had to

I love my two kings

and my two queens

and my two princesses (Gunhild from Nutty, Snorri from Finny)

I adore the kids I hope they have their own saga...

...and grow up!

And then I decided to re-draw that girlverse doodle. See ya!

Friendly reminder that the first thing Thorfinn directly said to Canute was: "what with this cute mouth of yours? Use it!" Friendly reminder that in Sentai dub Askeladd called Floki a handsome man: Friendly reminder that according to research, Canute the Great had a relationship with Edmund Ironside for three months, then Edmund died due to mysterious circumstances. A story about Scandinavian warriors? More like Scandinavian gay-romcom.

A bit of history trivia on Edmund Ironside who is only mentioned in chapter 18, 61 and 62 in the Vinland saga manga, but plays a significant role in Canute the Great’s history:

King Ethelred died on 23 April 1016, and the citizens and councillors in London chose Edmund as king and likely crowned him, while the rest of the Witan, meeting at Southampton, elected Canute. Edmund as a response to this mounted a last-ditch effort to revive the defence of England and for six months Edmund and Canute fought one another in many battles. But at the decisive Battle of Assandun on 18 October, Eadric and his men fled and Canute decisively defeated Edmund. The two kings met to negotiate peace on an island called Olney, where they were recorded to grow surprisingly close according to historian Ryan Lavelle.

Ya’ll Edmund Ironside might just be the "Miklagaard”/Greece for us Vinland Saga shippers - Canute fought him for six months, legit kissed the guy in 1016, and co-ruled England with him for a month before Edmund died due to ‘mysterious circumstances’ they referred to each other as ‘pledged partners’

Canute then draped a cape of peacock feathers over his tomb on the anniversary of his death in 1017.

Then in 1020 Canute builds Abbey of St Edmund which becomes the biggest Romanesque church in Northern Europe at the time.

And it turns out in 1032 three years before Canute dies on the anniversary of Edmund’s death, again, he moves Edmund’s remains to his family gravesite where he aims to get buried himself.

Canute and Edmund’s bones are currently held in the same box.
