Why Everything You Know About Vikings Is A Lie

True story – There are historical accounts (well, there’s at least one historical account) in which English people whine about how the Norse men bathe so often they’re able to seduce the local women away from their husbands.

^^^ Yep. Turns out the women were way more into the hot well groomed muscular dudes who liked to smell nice.

*Hot, well groomed men who liked to smell nice and knew their way around sharp objects.

“I just don’t know why you couldn’t marry a local boy sweetie.” 

“What can I say dad, Hjalmar bathes regularly, smells nice, has shoulders, can wield a sword and can wield his sword ifyaknowwhatImean, and when he comes back from raids likes to shower me in rare gifts from overseas. Look at this necklace! The amber beads came from the lands of the Rus! Also, he’s teaching me how to shoot a bow and use a spear because he thinks it might be nice if I could go on raids too someday.”

I mean, frankly, if I wasn’t already married, I would marry Hjalmar, too.

Rb if you stan Hjalmar

A Thor spin-off film where Loki really is dead but he died with a Plan and that plan involves breaking out of the land of the dead and becoming even more goth and unkillable than before, but unfortunately all of Loki’s plans suck, leaving him to ask help from the only person who can help him and the person least likely to. It’s Heimdall, and Marvel NEEDS this high fantasy prison break buddy/arch nemesis comedy, the tagline is something like “they’ll be the death of each other” or like “these gods are conquering death…….if they don’t kill each other first” @ marvel you fuckig cowards listen

It’s been five years and I still don’t know why people don’t think Bucky was such a vintage!geek in the 1940s

  • Knows by heart how many women there are in New York and casually throws that in a conversation he has when he’s on his way to a science fair
  • “LOOK AT THAT FUCKING FLYING CAR" “Holy cow” feels
  • Best friend is a kid who is into arts and takes books with him to the army
  • “STEVE YOU’RE KEEPING YOUR SUPER HERO OUTFIT RIGHT??”
  • Smithsonian tells me Bucky was “an excellent athlete who also excelled in the classroom” – like, his grades were good enough Smithsonian thought “hey we should mention that”
  • If my math teacher wasn’t lying to me, you needed some pretty great math skills to be a good sniper in WW2, so there’s also that

People say “Oh Bucky was into science” but no, god, he was a full-blown nerd

Frozen is a prime example of what happens when you over-advertise a movie. The people who legit liked it just got bored of it and found a new movie to obsess over. But more specifically by shoving it everywhere, people start to actually examine things and realize it wasn’t as good as they had first thought. Not even like they’re nitpicking but glaring issues that you never notice when you first watch something. 

Just look at BBC Sherlock. Between long ass hiatuses people wold re-watch episodes and it hits them like the cow shit smell in the morning of a farm town, that “Oh wow…, they never explained that?” or “That doesn’t make sense?” or “Hm, this character isn’t very well written.” 

Over-advertisement can be good as in you re-watch and realize shit was even better but uh…. not in most cases…

some wild les mis facts to consider: 

  1.  the musain was located on the corner of the place saint michael and the rue des grés
  2.  grantaire made his way from the musain, to his apartment, changed, then back to the musain in five minutes flat
  3.  that left him basically 2 minutes to walk to his apartment, so he must have lived in a two minutes radius from the musain

MY POINT: one of the roads in a two minute radius from the musain was the rue hyacinthe, and in greek mythology, apollo created the hyacinth flower after his male lover hyacinthus was killed, which makes this street inherently not straight. and you better believe i have a headcanon that grantaire lived on this street. 

and better yet: the modern street name for the rue hyancinthe is the rue gay-lussac (pretty cool physicist, but even better name)
