#except looking at it from a Kass fan perspective instead of Eivor for once

So... Random thought here about Kassandra and Basim...

(Also, Valhalla/Odyssey spoilers. So, thoughts under the cut I guess...)

Kassandra takes the staff, carries it for like 2,400 years, dies to hand it over to Layla... Only for Layla to almost immediately disappear and for it to end up with Basim? 😐 Loki-Basim? One of the main antagonists of Valhalla? Now has the staff? And Kassandra spent 2,400 YEARS in solitude, living far longer than she ever wanted to, watching everyone she ever cared about die, to get it safely into Layla’s hands, only for that to happen. It feels like such a waste of her life. To be made to go through all that only for it to essentially have been pointless. Because I can’t imagine it’s a good thing Basim now has it. (Unless Mirage ends with Basim in modern day somehow shoving off Loki’s influence?) He may be a good guy in Mirage, but we know how he ends up with Valhalla. He’s not great, people.

And some folks are confused as to why I'm salty over Basim being the protagonist now? 🙃
