King Harald speaks about being King

So ... I somehow have 193 followers.( Probably from thr yandere content). To celebrate, and try to get to 200 followers, I'll be doing requests. Yanderes, drabbles, ships, and headcanons are all on the table. I'll try anything once... so send in your requests!

They did Sigurd dirty.

Character thing - Sigurd please if you don’t mind

i totally don’t! (actually thank you for giving me the oppertunity to talk about this boy)

favorite thing about them

sigurd is very different from his brothers in SO many regards. he is romantic, he plays the oud and he is apparently far more empathetic or at least capable of reading a person? like hvitserk and ubbe have stepped on ivar’s toes by accident. sigurd knew ivar’s insecurities. he didn’t step on ivar’s toes as much as he really took aim. and yeah that kind of means that you have to be able to think from the perspective of someone else. i do not believe that sigurd was right with the conclusions he drew, but that’s another story

least favorite thing about them

i do think sigurd is fairly capable of feeling situations, but he is a little too simplistic in his conclusions of them. which i think is a testament to his youth. he is also very idealistic. it’s hard for me to say that i really dislike that about him as a character because i think this actually creates tension and makes him interesting, but it would be the thing i would dislike as a person

favorite line

im fairly bad at remembering lines, but i think you know in general all he says to ivar is just very clear cut. this boy knew how to form the perfect sentences to piss ivar off and in that sense they are very beautiful.

brOTP favorite platonic relationship

this will be an unpopular opinion, but actually ivar and sigurd are very interesting because they mirror each other to some extend and then are very different in other regards. they both spoiled brats, far more so than ubbe and hvitserk, and at the same time they have really different. ivar adores his parents, sigurd resents both. they are both quite sensitive. i would not say they are good for each other, but they are interesting in regards to each other.

alternative, hvitserk and sigurd both carry the “i dislike my parents” - banner and  i think some sort of bonding must’ve happened there, even if not on screen.

OTP favorite romantic relationship

canon is pretty bleak, so let’s go to history. blaeja and sigurd is just a very good concept because it actually channels a lot of sigurd’s simplistic views, while also playing on his strengths. and i just for one would’ve loved to see that happen.

nOTP

nothing that is widly accepted or popular.

random headcanon

two things: sigurd loved his mother dearly and this is the very reason for his strong reaction and anger. he tries to tell himself that he hates her, but it doesn’t make it easier for him. he went also with the idea that his mother didn’t love him bc it was far easier to accept this than the idea that she loved him, but was just incapable of giving him the love he needed or wanted.

sigurd plays the oud because it’s something that no one else in his family does. he chose it specifically because it’s not associated with ragnar in anyway. it was his way of choosing his own path.

unpopular opinion

turning sigurd into this rage demon who hated ivar and just went against him for no reason is a very simple way of looking at a very complicated toxic family dynamic. the problem is not solved here by saying that ivar was right or that sigurd was right. aslaug should’ve separated them. it shouldn’t be normal for two brothers to just always fight each other and for one of them to get so angry as to try and attempt to kill the other. a lot of shit went down before we even got to see them as young adults and discussing who is in right or more problematic does not deal with the issue itself. sigurd should’ve gone with björn as well. he shouldn’t have been in the situation he was and this is one thing i actually blame aslaug for cause damn… why did she let it go so far?

song i associate with them

sad: The Ancestor - Darlingside

less sad: Up The Wolves - The Mountain Goats

favorite picture of them

i take “odin has just come up to me and looked me sternly in the eye as i realize that i really have to avenge my father i guess”
