#and slapping on a lot of fictional rebranding concepts and proclaim its history

[shararan]

If i wasn't so bad at watching any series I'd try picking up vinland saga again cause i swear its the only good viking fiction out there

#certified viking hating nordic #slightly hyperbolic i just really hate the valorizarion #both in terms of WS but also ''leftist reclamation'' and cutting out the uncomfortable bits #either way its always taking a part of history with a lot of things that cannot be confirmed #and slapping on a lot of fictional rebranding concepts and proclaim its history #frankly i was so surprised when vinland saga was like #an actual good story that felt really authentic??? #and like up to where i got just acknowledging the inconcrete borders #the process of the christening of the north #the pillaging!!!! like hello!!!!! #not to mention the CLOTHES #and the houses!!! the furniture!! food!!!!! #like its actually mindboggling how often viking fantasy is marketed as historical fact #and that actually accurately sourced depictions feel so shocking in their unusualness #im rambling and this doesnt pertain to this blog really #i just have a strong interest in nordic history folklore and culture #and so it bothers me how much vikings are used as a political sledgehanmer from multiple sides #and are used to make false claims about nordic history even past the viking age #i have too may thoughts about this to fit them in the tags #sharan talks #sharan yells at cloud #i need to use that last tag more honestly #dont mind me im just being a little bitchy rn
