The King and Queen of Kattegat (Vikings)
Season 2
Chapter Nineteen
Any day now. It's any day now. The excitement is all around us. The day is drawing closer to the birth of our child. Hvitserk and Ivar made a bet if the child will be born on the first flower bloom or the first new moon. Ivar always bets on the moon because it is reliable and he was born on a new moon night. Hvitserk believes it'll be born on the first flower bloom because of how I glow like the sun.
Me, on the other hand, I am always tired, sick, and annoyed by the small things. If I knew carrying a child would be this tiring, I think I would have a slave girl carry it for me. While the men found it amusing I found it like a chore. I placed a wager myself that the baby will be born during the day, at noon.
"Hvitserk, I believe you were born in the day," Ivar said. "It's my child, Ivar," Hvitserk laughed, "I won't be surprised."
I knew that upset Ivar greatly as he got up, he went over to Hvitserk, glaring at him evilly. It's very rare that Ivar would look like that now, but when he does he is unreasonable. I got up, going in front of Hvitserk.
"Ivar, he is drunk, he doesn't know what he is saying!" I said.
"You rather him your husband than me!" He screamed.
I slowly approached Ivar, "No, no," I whispered, "No, you're my husband," I whispered. I took his drink out of his hand and placed it on the table. Ivar is not an angry drunk, he is lively, this is how I know this whole thing did bother him. Hvitserk never laughs when he is drunk.
"I love you," I said, holding him in my arms. He laid his head on my shoulder.
"My love," he cried. I pulled away from him and looked at Hvitserk.
"I knew this would be a bad idea," I said, sadly. "I don't want this child coming between us."
"It is as much my child as yours, Ivar," Hvitserk said. He stood up.
"You may plant the child, but it does not mean you own it," Ivar said. A sudden rush of pain went through me and I went to sit down. Sometimes when I stand long it happens.
"It is my love child," Hvitserk approached Ivar.
"She is my wife! How dare you talk like that in front of me!" Ivar shouted.
"She loves me!" Ivar said Ivar looked over at me, to tell the truth.
I was doubled over in pain, leaning over in my chair as I cried. A warm liquid came from my bottom half as I looked up at Ivar and Hvitserk, they both had the same expression on their faces- fear. The pain grew worse and worse as I uttered to them,
"The baby is coming."
--
Ivar's P.O.V
I sat nervously, biting my nails, as the women helped Yrsa deliver the baby. Her screams echoed in the Great Hall. Sweat and blood came from her just like my dream which only made me even more nervous. Every time she shouted louder, I became even more nervous. Eventually, I threw up beside me. Hvitserk stepped out to cool himself off after our fight, now I want him here with me. I hope I'm a good father. I hope we can all set our differences aside.
That is when I heard a cry. A baby cry. Yrsa screaming went silent as I stood nervously.
"My wife?"
"She is well, Ivar, she just needs rest." I sighed, the Gods are a tease.
"A son or a daughter?" I asked.
The woman wrapped the child in a cloth and handed it to me, I became stiff and uncomfortable. I was holding my own child in my hands for the first time.
"You have a strong, new son," She smiled at me. He was perfect. Absolutely, perfect. I moved his little legs with my hand to see they are firm and strong.
I smiled as tears rolled down my eyes, "Hand him to Yrsa," I asked. I walked over to her as she held him for the first time. She cried, moving the clothes away from his face. His face was perfect, it was shiny, and plump. His eyelashes were long and his lids were perfectly circled. He had brown hair like Yrsa, and her nose. He was all Yrsa.
He became content as Yrsa held him, "He knows who you are," I cooed. She looked up at me and kissed my cheek. He opened his eyes to me to reveal dark blue eyes! "My eyes!" I exclaimed.
"The Gods have blessed me with an identical son!" He was nothing of Hvitserk. I knew, however, he would be something like Hvitserk one day in some shape or form.
"What shall we name him?" Yrsa said. Hvitserk came in quietly as he stood far away from us. I was too overwhelmed with joy to even remember my anger towards him from earlier. He held a flower up in front of me and smiled. He won the wager. I owe my brother seven gold pieces.
"Come look at your new nephew," Yrsa said. I knew Hvitserk wanted to run over according to the swiftness of his feet, but he simply walked over and sat next to Yrsa. He laughed, looking at the child.
"He looks just like Yrsa, down to his skin!" Hvitserk said.
"Would you like to hold him, brother?" I asked him. Hvitserk looked at me unsure.
"I never held a child," Hvitserk said.
"It's ok, I'll show you," I said, handing him slowly to Hvitserk. "Mind his head," I whispered. Tears came down his face as I stepped back.
"Hey, I'm your uncle," Hvitserk whispered. The baby roared and waved his arms about before he settled down.
"Brae?" Hvitserk said, softly.
"What?"
"Brae," Hvitserk spoke in Norse. Once I noticed the name I looked over to Yrsa for a translation of it.
"It is derived from my mother's country, it means to roar." " Brae is to roar."
"Brae."
I looked back at Hvitserk who just named my son. I smiled, "Brae." I took him from Hvitserk's arms and held him up into the air.
"Brae, my son that roars!" It is the first time in my life I did not lose my balance and I stood without my crutch.
All around everyone came to visit my child. Uncle Rollo made a special trip from Frankia to come and see his Great Nephew. He took the child in his large hands and said to me,
"How your father would love to be here to see this, a son, a grandson of Ragnar Lothbrok!" He laughed.
"If I may, Queen Yrsa, I would like to bestow a Christian blessing on the child," Uncle Rollo said, I was uneasy about it, but it is from Yrsa's mother's line. She can't deny it and I can't either.
"You may, Uncle Rollo," she said. I wish she didn't do that, it would be an insult to the Gods, and I don't want to play like that right now.
"Brae, I bless you with the Father, and the Son and Holy Ghost may he always watch you and keep watching you," Rollo said. Brae cooed in his arms in agreement. Rollo smiled, handing him back to Yrsa. Although I did not smile, I was angry with my son. He allowed himself to be blessed by a Christian. From the corner of my eye, I could tell Hvitserk was not happy either.
Author's Note: I did not like any of the Norse names for the baby, so I played with some ancient names and played with some combinations and I really fell in love with this name. It is derived from old Spaniard and Old Norse which really does mean "Father of Son" and "Roar." Pretty cool name right lol
It is pronounced- Bray Spelt Brae with the accent marks over the last 'e'

Spring phone cleaning!
I know, I know it's summer! But my memory card in my phone was yelling at me to clean it. Who knew I could almost fill a 32gb memory card with photos and videos?! Now they may or may not have been almost all multiple Alex items that I i just kept and thought, "I'll go back and watch that later!" Not realizing that I saved it 2 or 3 months ago, about 4 times then too. I swear my memory is failing me. I ended up clearing out almost 20gb lmao. Whoops. Most of it is now on my laptop. I know some of you come to me and ask if i have something, which i might, but now it won't be as available if i have deleted it from the phone. Who would have known i was such a hoarder?!
I would also like to add, I deleted just as many cat photos and videos as well. I was hoarding all of my babies pics 20 times over. Wtf?!
So here is some pics and stuff I managed to find in the purging of my memory card!

Why you don't like Nicky? I liked her, then I didn't, and now I'm liking her again... lol
Well, I’m like in a love/hate with her! Like thinking about her as a person or even as a duo with J, I like her. I mean I’m pretty sure if any one of the fans were in her position, we’d be trying to “be like the guys” too! 
But in the family as a whole, I think she’s... well actually now writing this, it’s not that I don’t like her character, I just mean she needs to “play her role” not as like as a teenage girl who knows nothing, but I mean, not as a Cath, Lucy or Renn.
She did sort of hold her own with Javi’s guys, but I think she wants to be too much like the family instead of being herself. I get that she wants to be a part of the crew, but babysteps, man!
I just think the guys of the family have a bigger role to play. Not that the girls can’t do anything, but I mean like she’s trying to keep up with J. And we know that Smurf stayed behind the scenes and the boys did the dirty work. So instead of easing in, Nicky wants to be apart of the robberies, shoot guns, etc, when that’s like expected of J. 
So again, not that she’s a girl and needs to stfu, but because  the guys don’t really need her, because like I said, they’re the “men” and they rob and shoot the guns LOL. Does that make sense? 
So I mean, if she calms down a bit and thinks before she acts, she can become a part of the crew and be an asset not a nuisance.

A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?
Awesome, I’m so glad you like ‘em! Ah shit, look what you’ve done, you’ve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)
In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Don’t worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! It’s super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so it’s not time wasted!
A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks I’ve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!
Ok first I think everyone’s seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so I’ll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:
Tumblr media
**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicity’s sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:
Tumblr media
Next, there’s three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:
1) The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.
Tumblr media
Here’s a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM
2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly Method because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.
Tumblr media
3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro Head because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (I’m still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings I’ve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs
EDIT: This isn’t my painting btw
Tumblr media
*** One crucial thing I’d want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyone’s head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!
4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way I’ve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (we’ve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)
Tumblr media
One last note: Most of what I’ve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so don’t reference my stuff for your own good LMAO
Hope this helps!

The King and Queen of Kattegat (Vikings)
Season 2
Chapter six
I barged through the doors and passed the crowd of people who were awaiting to hear any kind of news. I went up to Hvitserk who stood by the doorway of my bedroom; leaning against the wall. He had been crying, his eyes were puffy and red. They are a mixture of emotional tears.
He gave me a hug and whispered with joy, "He's back!" I sighed in relief. I then looked into the bedroom to see my husband for the first time in two months. He laid on his back, he had already been cleaned up, but he is so weak and tired. His condition does not make things easier. He is thin, and frail looking. His eyes are slightly sulken into his sockets. He looked dead already.
I gasped, taking a step back from the live corpse that is supposed to be my husband. I looked up at Hvitserk for some kind of explanation.
"He was talking a little bit before, all he kept asking for was you," Hvitserk whispered. I turned to Hvitserk with concern.
We cannot erase what has been between us, and I don't think we can return the way things were before. I looked down and turned away to go back out. Hvitserk suddenly grabbed me by my arm, leaned into my ear, and whispered,
"Go to your husband, he needs you," his voice cracked a little bit.
"Hvitserk?"
"I will always love you, sister," he whispered, new tears fell from his eyes.
I glanced over to him as I made my way to Ivar. Hvitserk's heart is broken. It's all because of me. I wish I could have both brothers, marry them both, and have their children together. I never knew I could love them as much as I do now. Hvitserk nodded, giving me permission to go to my King.
"Don't leave me?" Is all I asked Hvitserk. Hvitserk placed his hand on his heart and whispered to me,
"Never."
I looked down at Ivar's lifeless body as he slept peacefully in our bed. I leaned over and removed a few strands of hair away from his face. The once ruthless King has crumbled.
"He didn't eat anything," Hvitserk said.
I took the broth that was sitting on the table beside me and pressed the spoon against his lips. The liquid ran both sides of his lips and disappeared behind his head. I looked at Hvitserk with a broken heart.
Hvitserk came over and lifted Ivar up onto his lap, he slightly opened Ivar's mouth, and allowed me to feed him a little bit. I began to slowly pour the hot liquid down his throat. Hvitserk rubbed Ivar's throat to allow it to go down nicely. Once in a while, Hvitserk would lay a kiss on Ivar's head.
"We are here now," he said.
I managed to get a half a bowl down before he suddenly began to cough. Hvitserk and I became high alert as he coughed up most of the broth. He laid back down on Hvitserk's lap; heaving for air. Ivar's eyes opened and the first person they looked at-was me.
"Am I in Valhalla?" Ivar's horse voice came. His eyes were tender, and no light shined in them.
"No, no," I said, kissing his forehead. "You are home in Kattegat."
Ivar weakly raised his hand and twiddled my hair in between his fingers, "My Yrsa." I pressed my lips to his and began to kiss him.
"Hvitserk," He weakly asked for, Ivar's eyes darted up to see Hvitserk smiling at him.
"I'm here, brother," he whimpered. Hvitserk's palm rested on Ivar's cheek.
"You're home now, little brother, you're safe." Ivar's eyes watered as he tried to smile.
"My legs...I can't feel them," Ivar whimpered.
I quickly got up and removed the covers from Ivar. His legs were broken in two places on one side, and bruised on the other. I looked up at Hvitserk who had nothing but hate and revenge in his eyes. Ivar would be bed ridden for at least a month and this would be a painful process for him.
I went back over to Ivar and sat next to him, by now, he was gently falling asleep. Although he was smiling, and tears fell from his eyes. My fingers wiped away the tears as they fell.
"Rest, my love," I cried. I placed another kiss on his lips, gently before he closed his eyes.
Hvitserk and I both looked at each other as we began to think of the most dreadful things we could do to Ivar's attacker. I gripped the covers and felt a sudden twig of hatred take over my body. Hvitserk had fire in his eyes and his color went very pale making his eyes stand out.
--
Once Ivar was fast asleep, we made everyone leave the Great Hall, leaving Hvitserk and I to think. I sat on my throne, while Hvitserk paced back and forth.
"Something came over me..." Hvitserk said.
"You are angry, Hvitserk," I said, flatly.
"Yes," he said, swiftly, "I want to break my brother's torture," Hvitserk stopped and picked up a chair and threw against the wall, letting out a loud cry.
I on the other hand, am not the same person I was yesterday. Normally I would flinch at that, but I did not. No, I fed on it.
"I want my revenge as well..." I said, Hvitserk glared over to me, "But right now, we can't get anything from Ivar."
Hvitserk chuckled, glaring down at me, "Then maybe you ought to go wake my brother."
I smiled deviously, getting up, and walking down to Hvitserk.
"Right now, let him rest," I whispered. I moved a string of hair away from Hvitserk.
"There was a time where I did want to marry you," Hvitserk said.
"Maybe one day you will," I said.
Hvitserk cleared his throat, "I'm going home, please let me know if Ivar stirs we have a lot to discuss."
"Yes," I said, smiling. Hvitserk left for home, leaving me with my husband.
I went into the bedroom and smiled softly at the sleeping Ivar. I moved silently over to him, removing my clothes and crawling next to him. I couldn't believe Ivar was finally home. All the heartache and all the sorrow suddenly vanished. My anger for his attacker is still there, though. Right now, Ivar needs me.
I softly kissed his warm cheek as he startled slightly, he glared over to me, as he grunted putting his arm over me.
"My beautiful wife," He said, in our language. "How I missed you." Tears came down my face. I sniffled slightly, pressing my lips to his peck.
"No words can describe how much I missed you," I said, breathlessly.
"I promise you now," Ivar said, "Once...I'm back on my feet, no more raiding, we will leave together peacefully," he said.
"Ivar..."
"No, I thought about it," he said softly, "and I'm going to spend more time home, and I'm going to make Kattegat better."
"I'm not making the same mistake as my father."

Hello! I recently started on drawing and I like your style very much! Would you happen to have any tips for beginners? Like, I'm still trying to figure out my style, which is being a very difficult and slow process, and I practice lips alone, eyes alone, noses alone, and they happen to look good, but when I try to add it to a face, it doesn't work. It's like they don't harmonize (they indeed don't, in fact), but the problem is that, for example, the eyes I made for the whole face, it won't be same I did in the studies. Am I doing this right? No? I would like to know what you have to say! <3
Hi, thanks for your patience on this one! I've been trying to figure out what advice to give beyond "keep practicing" but I've never been very good at it. This is good practice for me to articulate myself. 😊 I'd put this under a cut if I wasn't on mobile but here we are.
Going over each part of the face for studies is great! You already know what to do. Two things that still help me:
Anatomy studies - there's tons of explanations from artists and others on how the parts of the face fit together. This includes how far apart each feature is as a general rule, and how to use cheats or guide lines in your art.
Portrait studies! I have a whole separate pinterest board dedicated to character inspirations, and I'll go through it to find a picture to try and replicate as closely as I can. That way I can put the guide lines I've learned to use and see how it really fits together on a face. It might help you make everything look more cohesive, since you're using the same reference and drawing all the features at the same time.
It sounds right now that while you're trying to figure out a style and mash it all together, the first would be good to start with. And as always, scouring the internet for styles you'd like to emulate or draw from is going to be super helpful!
All this said, though, everyone's journey is different. This is what I remember doing when I started taking art seriously, and the best I can do is share my experiences!
Good luck, and please don't be afraid to let me know how its working out for you! 💕
