Was ragnar gay
Anonymous asked:
You're seriously delusional if you assume Ragnar was in love with Athelstan. He loved him in the alike way I cherish my friends. I'll tell my male friend who is as hetero as I am "I love you" to his fucking meet and hug him without the worry of being branded as a lesbian because it's a familiar and platonic love, not a romantic one. Sometimes I think people who ship those two have had neither a nice family or a true friendship. Also, pls, I demand a gif of Ragnar crying in the rain ;_;
I interpreted it one way and you another. You are basing your understanding on your control life (which is commendable BTW, men like you are rare), I’m taking into account the entire series and all of Ragnar and Athelstan’s interactions. A scene of Aslaug directly asking Ragnar if he loved her and him responding with silence occurred, followed immediately by a scene —the packed version which includes Ragnar propositioning another threesome and grabbing Athelstan’s ass— of Ragnar gently holding Athelstan’s hand and telling him that he’ll follow him wherever he goes. Ragnar later refuses to have sex with his wife and then tells Athelstan that he loves him and h
I know for a certainty Ragnar isn’t gay or bi canon-wise. Although shipping fanfic aside, it makes me feel terrible to know his friend is gone. I’m pretty tall and fit compared to my friends who are smaller and my optimal friend is like 15cm shorter than me. I hug the guy all the time (nothing sexual, of course, I contain a gf) and he reminds me so much of Athelstan it’s ridiculous. I’d go nuts if I lost him, he’s been with me for over 10 years. I understand Ragnar’s transformation this season.

Vikings: Why Ragnar Really Loved Athelstan
Although Vikings mostly saw a lot of battles, betrayals, and deaths, it also had heartwarming moments and genuine relationships, and one of the most notable ones was the friendship between Ragnar and Athelstan – but why did the Viking leader love the Christian monk so much? One of the most well-liked historical dramas in recent years is Michael Hirst’s Vikings, which premiered on the History Channel in 2013 and came to an end in 2020 after six seasons full of deed and drama. Vikings covered the first years of the Viking Age, and it brought to life some real-life warriors as successfully as some believed to be fictional.
Vikings initially followed epic Norse figure Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his many travels and raids alongside his Viking brothers, beginning with the Lindisfarne raid. As the series progressed, it shifted its focus to Ragnar’s sons and their own journeys, and after Ragnar’s death in Vikings season 4, his sons Björn, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Ivar took the lead until the final episode of the series. Still, Ragnar’s actions and legacy are what made Vikings what it is, and throughout the four seasons h
Vikings: 21 Wild Revelations About Ragnar And Athelstan's Relationship
The History Channel's Vikings has become a smash smash. One of the main reasons for this is the complex relationship between Ragnar and Athelstan. Though both men are prolonged gone now, they built the foundation of complex relationships between characters. After all, they were closer to each other than they were their respective mates. These men relied on each other to be strong and alter the world around them. Every scene between them was a genuine bliss, and these two characters are missed to this day.
As Vikings moves into its sixth and terminal season, the story will be finishing up without these two fascinating characters. Despite their absence, they truly altered everything in the world around them. Without Ragnar and Athelstan, the conflict between Vikings and Anglo-Saxons would gaze very different. Without them, it might have never happened at all.
Whether that means their kinship was good or bad for the world is subjective, but their influence cannot be denied. Both men made everyone they touched grow and evolve into entirely new people. Curious, fascinating, and exploratory, Athelstan and Ragnar
