I Like Gow It Makes Me Do More Research On Its Vast Cast - Tumblr Posts

ye old king of Denmark

So I was doin my scholarly shit. And abusing google looking up GOW character and seeing if they held any significance in Norse mythology. Some do actually, very excited for story writing. Then I did some quick research on the best mortal boy Skjoldr. He’s the king of Denmark, very nice, HOWEVER, apparently, he’s a son of Odin and I WHEEZED. I don’t think him being a son of Odin is even HINTED at during the game. 

it made chuckle at the thought that Skjoldr is only son of Odin who is fucked up in some capacity purely he doesn't know Odin is his father and Odin doesn’t know he has a son in New Midgard. So, is he technically a demi-god? Bruh his crush Thrud tho. I thought it was cute now I’m just like well shit bruh. 

From fanfiction writing POV, it would be interesting for Skjoldr to discover this part of himself, go on a whole ass journey, embrace this new part of himself, be a better king than Odin. And also get up to god-like shenanigans with his friends. Dam I wanna write it now, he doesn't get enough love anyway. Imma do it.
