- Askeladd at first thinks you’re an idiot.

- No person that values their own life continually endangers it for someone else, especially not in their business. 

- It does give you some worth in his eyes, at least in the sense that he thinks you’re more ‘useful’ to keep around than others. To keep you as loyal and suicidal as you are, puppy eyes and all, he teaches you some moves. Askeladd has to chuckle as you quite nearly explode with excitement at the prospect of being taught by him.

- He does think it is odd that you’re this admiring of him, especially concerning your treatment of others in the group. You’re so distant to others, after all. It does stroke his ego at times, though.

- You’re one of the few people in the group that is mostly cold with others, barely talking and not even removing your helmet when talking or sleeping. One of the men tried to remove it once to see what you looked like, but their hand was nearly removed by a quick dagger that rested in your own. No one tried again after that.

- No one really knows why you’re so secretive about your appearance, and even Askeladd is a bit curious, as you haven’t even shown him. He’d asked about it a few times, hoping your admiration of him would entice you to show him, but not even that had proven successful.

- The answer to his question was given after a particularly hard battle against a rogue group of English soldiers, leaving nearly everyone injured, yourself not excluded. You excused yourself to take care of your wounds at a nearby river, and Askeladd, in his boredom and curiosity, secretly followed you.

- The sight of you removing your helmet and armor, clothes and undergarments, washing your wounds in the river, humming a song, would forever be etched into Askeladds mind. The moment he saw you, as yourself, he realized a few things.

- The first thing being that not one of the other men should ever find out.

- The second thing being that he’d had such a cute little protector all this time, shielding him from attacks and even taking hits meant for him, and he hadn’t even realized it. As you’re washing the clotted blood out of your hair, he can’t tear his eyes away from the sight.

- After Askeladd’s discovery, he becomes a bit more protective of you, always sleeping in your vicinity just in case. He doesn’t know why his feelings have suddenly changed so harshly, but the image of you in the river keeps replaying in his mind and the thought of any of these pigs looking at you like that nearly makes him puke.

- He doesn’t view himself as a righteous or honest man, but he slowly forms the role of protector for you, not even allowing you to enter into close combat at all anymore. If you ever complain about this to him, he merely deflects your statements, using your nervousness and admiration for him as a way to keep you docile. 

- It is at times of peace that Askeladd turns most dangerous, not distracted by war or battle anymore, and therefore completely able to give you his full attention. Over the time you spent as a recruit with Askeladd, his feelings towards you had shifted from utility-based to a bit of an obsession.

- He tells you one calm day that he knows what you look like, and you stiffen up. Reassuring you that he won’t tell anyone, you calm down, though you immediately try to excuse yourself. 

- As Askeladd inches closer, he begins to talk, telling you that he’ll take care of you and protect you so that you wouldn’t ever need to pick up a sword again. In return, he merely asks you to remove your helmet for him and come a bit closer. If you respond negatively to his advances, he gets a bit angry.

- You had protected him, and now he protects you.

- Shouldn’t you be a bit more grateful?

Ooo Vinland saga requests! How would Thorkell, Asgeir, and Askeladd propose to their s/o?

Ooo ✨✨✨I chose a modern AU btw

Thorkell:

💍 This man.

💍 “Thorkell? Can I open my eyes now?”

💍”Wait a minute....Okay now.”

💍 Thorkell had his love at the kitchen table that three small boxes on the table.

💍“What’s going on?”

💍“Just pick a box. You can’t go wrong.”

💍Thorkell pointed to the boxes with a content smirk on his face.

💍(Name) picks the middle box.

💍“This one.”

💍Thorkell nods and opens the small box to see a beautiful ring.

“So, how about? Ready to the knot?”

💍 Bonus: (Name) finds out that all three boxes had rings in them. Thorkell wasn’t too for sure which ring (Name) would want so he bought three. The other rings were given to (Name) still as extras.

Asgeir:

💍 Oh this man.

💍Asgeir is nervous wreck even though he rehearsed how he is going to propose.

💍Asgeir proposes on holiday vacation when the two are at the beach.

💍It’s just them and the ocean. (❤️)

💍 His love picks up seashells.

💍 He blushes and stutters a bit trying to get his feelings out.

💍 Eventually Asgeir takes a breath and with his foot he spells out,

“Will you marry me?”

💍 At the end he hands his love a box with a golden ring inside.

💍It would pretty hard for his love to deny this proposal.

Askeladd:

💍 Askeladd already has the day, time, what he’s gonna wear when he proposes.

💍His s/o comes over for dinner. Nothing unusual.

💍”I’ll be back (Name).”

💍 “Okay.”

💍 (Name) wasnt paying attention instead (Name) was eating the food Askeladd prepared.

💍 Askeladd was putting his plan into motion.

💍 “Here you go (Name).”

💍 Askeladd hands (Name) a saucer plate.

💍 Taking it that’s when Askeladd beloved sees the ring, a surprise look when on their face when they open to see a beautiful diamond ring in a cupcake where the frost was.

💍”So, do you want to get married?”

Yandere Vinland saga hcs?

Vinland Saga Headcanons
a/n: I’m LOVING the anime lately, so why not!
————————————————————————————————————————
Yandere! Vinland Saga Headcanons

Yandere! Various x Reader

Thorfinn:
  • He is very stubborn with his feelings at first.
  • The blonde tries to conceal the blushes and smiles you produce on him, after all he is here to defeat Askeladd not to play around with some random warrior.
  • However, as time passes by, he warms up to you. Soon, you become the only one who actually holds real, lasting conversations with him. Thorfinn practically drags you to training sessions -he’d never spar with you, of course- as well as he always got to eat dinner with you.
  • You became the greatest of friends. 
  • Just as he hardened his expressions under that bitter frown of his, Thorfinn hid other feelings. 
  • A seething, furious jealousy when you’d talk with the rest of Askeladd’s soldiers or the freezing fear he’d experience when you headed into battle.
  • At one point, when you had unfortunately been stabbed on your lower abdomen, Thorfinn snapped. You were not the unfortunate one, -in this one occasion at least- no; the man holding the spear was. 
  • Merciless, the blonde pierced his chest hundreds of times before slicing his head off in a single, bloody motion.
  • The look on the blonde’s dark eyes. The roar chanted with rage.
  • You were absolutely terrified. 
  • From that moment on, the young warrior  would never let you out of his range. 
  • No more fighting for you
  • No engaging with others for you. 
  • Whenever you complained, he answered “It’s for your sake, [Y/N]”.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Askeladd: 
  • The blonde, blue-eyed man is cunning and smug; he LOVES toying with you the most. In fact he may even consider it a hobby of his.
  • Not in a torturous way, Askeladd opts to be more friendly. watchout don’t let him deceive you.
  •  He’d rather tease you until your cheeks turn into darker shades of red rather than other more disturbing methods.
  • In spite of his mocking and sometimes rude attitude, you manage to consider him a friend
  •  The blonde man is your best company. 
  • He is the only one who approaches you , although you’ve been travelling with your fellow warriors for some months by now. Quite odd, you guessed. Although you felt lonely, he felt delighted.
  •  As eccentric as he would always -without exception- sling a cozy arm over your shoulders, or lay a gentle hold on your  waist.
  •  Every time the sun is at its highest point  and even when the stars take over, Askeladd never fails to dine with you.
  • Alone.
  • Just the two of you.
  •  Your pretty, [e/c] hues focused on him solely
  • That smile of glistening white pearls and  plump pink lips. The melodious tone of your laugh, the sweetness of your adorable giggles.
  • The blonde man craved them all to be his own. Like any human’s natural curse, Askeladd was greedy.
  •  Oh, so, so irremediable greedy.
  • A vile, treacherous desire to keep you . And every warrior under his lead knew what Askeladd “wants is what Askeladd “gets”.
  • There was no trouble, no hesitance or resistance from his soldiers when he gave the command. 
  • Once Askeladd’s lips parted to forsaken you from his men.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Bjorn:
  • He is a horror-striking man.
  • His tall, broad build and stern face can manage to intimidate anyone who stands in his way. The path to you of course.
  • The brunette is also extremely loyal to those he comes to respect. However, this blessing -if you could call it as favoring as that- is for a few.
  • Askeladd held a special place in his heart, to Bjorn; the blonde was an amazing leader as well as a great friend although he did not reckon much about his background.
  • Then Thorfinn, well, he admired him in some sort of way. The child was no longer a weak brat but a strong and mature self-built man. (In his opinion, it was a pity he was stuck in revenge)
  • Finally, you came along- a whole different, extraordinary case.
  • Baldur, Freyja, Frigg and Gersemi must have adored him in order to tie the knots of your destinies. 
  • Or they must have loathed you with the contents of their all powerful, twisted beings for they have mocked you; spat with venom into your fate. 
  • Yet no matter your say, not even the will of the gods; Bjorn will have you by his side.
  • The bearded man was also rather cold. He really is not the most verbally emotional of these madmen.
  • Nonetheless, he is communicative through actions. Holding your hand, cuddling your frame, running his calloused hand through the strands of your shiny, [h/l] [h/c] hair
  • It is a surprise, indeed, unexpected from someone so rough and brute.
  • From a man who at the same, bites at your neck ‘till pecks of crimson form. The same palms which caress your smooth hair; pull, push and grasp your skin with faint consideration of the horrid, purple and yellowish spots.
  • A two-faced passion.
  • You wonder… how much he relishes in your tears, how much he enjoys your laughs. 
  • Which he loves the most.
  • But Bjorn cannot choose for he treasures you the most. 
  • Hence, as any vile greedy human whose dirty hands lay on something so, so divine and unique; he hides you from others.
  • Oh the toll the damn tent takes on you.
  • Gods aid any unfortunate soul who looks at you, as it might as well as be their doom. More cruel and less merciful will it be if they break as much as a single nail of yours
(i couldn’t find a good pic of him)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Canute:
  • The prince is very reserved. 
  • Only opening up to a handful of people, between them; Ragnar.
  • He was the one who raised him, the father he never had.
  • Still there was you.
  • A servant’s child, who shared the same locking-fate as their parents.
  • Due to the small age difference and because of the unnerving times; ever since youth you’ve been entrusted, under Ragnar’s eye, to take care of the Prince.
  • Whilst you did not bare a sword in his name, raise a shield for him nor ride in his honor, you took a more domestic task. Feeding, bathing, looking over him.
  • You were one of the scarce in terms of loyal company, and due to your gentle nature, you two became friends.
  • It was polemic, and it spiked as you two grew.
  • Even so, the Prince never left your side. No matter how many times his father beat him. Although you warned him for his safety and reputation. Still and all when Ragnar would scold him
  • Eventually, people learnt to pay no mind as Canute did not speak to you; at all.
  • They, however, could not see the way he stared at you.
  • His irises widening as if they just witnessed a miracle- an angel.
  • Each night he checked on you, sneaking into the servant house to watch over your sleeping self.
  • Before he dozed on his own, Canute prayed.
  • It is a catholic custom, a traditional rule
  • Be that as it may, the blonde prince prays for you. He begs to the Lord for your safety and he is grateful. He expresses his thanks to the Father for allowing him to bask in your holy presence. Asking Him for another day in which he may indulge in your loyal company.

Thorkell:
(x female reader)
  • He is the worst of mad men, truly, a nightmare in the flesh and bones.
  • Although the spiky blonde is a jolly man with a bubbly personality, he has a far darker side.
  • A complete battle maniac. Not thirsty for blood, but lusting for honor and glory. 
  • Thorkell seeks battles as a compass’ needles search for North. Anywhere a battle emerges, the viking follows suit. Always drawing his weapons and spilling blood in the name of Valhalla.
  • He had never been interested in settling down with a cozy family, or manage a village as chief as many of his peers. Thorkell could not find the fun in it.
  • Until you happened.
  • In the midst of battle, an elegant white mare charged and stomped over his soldiers as weak flowers over a blood-stained field
  • Yet his eyes were set on you, the rider of the proud stallion.
  • Long, braided [h/c] hair swayed with the winds grazing the battle. Deep, blue markings which accentuate your features. An armor of thick leathers with silver chains that wrapped nicely at your chest, shoulders and forearms. Tight leather pants dressed you and a long, navy skirt opened at the front; adding the touch of fierce femininity.
  • You were holding a polished iron sword that shined red with its blood. A light-blue shield with darker carvings, resembling the crest -of what he assumed- your village. 
  • A soldier of his charged without hesitation, only to be stopped by Thorkell. His large hand clasped down on the soldier’s shoulder, threatening to crush it; obliterate the bone into toothpicks. He managed to dislocate it. 
  • She is mine, the spiky blonde affirmed. Excitement rushed through his veins and he dashed to you as he sliced down anyone who stood in his way.
  • Finally, he stood face-to-face. Although he had to look downwards due to his colossal height, casting a looming shadow over your tinier frame.
  • Trepidation crawled from your toes and feet to your ears, gluing your stance to the ground. 
  • Teeth; white and luminescent in an organized row, grinning mischievously down upon you.
  • No words exchanged, no breaths huffed.
  • A heated battle sparked.
  • A fight of strength against agility, build versus speed.
  • You were petite compared to him- and that seemed so cute to him- so you aimed at the lower vital spots. Trying to immobilize his legs by slashing open eyes, yet he did not give you a second to do so. 
  • An all coming, non-stop series of attacks with his dual axes.
  • The man was unbelievable. Sure, the title “Thorkell the Tall” leaves to imagination the description of a giant. Nonetheless, never had this monster crossed your mind.  
  • A complete berserker, his stamina seemed infinite. And his resistance? Beyond the gods’ explanation.
  • No matter how much you cut him, he never fell.
  • All it took was a hit on your side - struck with his axe dull part - which certainly broke some ribs and sent you flying towards a tree. Your back crashed against the oak’s trunk and oxygen was knocked out of you. (Mind that you used your shield to block his move. )
  • Heavy footfalls on the snow crunched to your location. 
  • The blonde lowered himself to your level, almost eyeing you with pity
  • He slided his hand through the snow and hooked his arm around your waist.
  • Curious, brown orbs burned through your hazed [e/c] ones. 
  • Even in defeat, your beauty remain unrivaled by a valkyrie.
  • “I was never one to claim rewards after a fight,” he confessed “y’know- glory and honor, and a good loot for my soldiers- is all I ever fiested of.” Thorkell brought you closer to his face and conditioned  your sight onto his. 
  • A darker glimmer in them shook the pain away.
  • Now, I think I will claim something more”.

Can I get a Canute and Thorfinn x Reader love triangle? (Canute likes reader, Thorfinn like reader, Reader is torn) for a Valkyrie/Angel-esque reader? (They fight as a dance and sing and keep morale high). Three idiots in Wales, but with affection.

──────────────────

𝔲𝔫𝔱𝔬𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔟𝔩𝔢

summary ;; — you were untouchable, many of them even wondered if you were human. perhaps you thrived off of the art of war, but even if you weren't someone of this world, you made them feel like people outside of battle instead.

featuring + contains ;; — thorfinn x gn! reader x canute (love triangle). slight fantasy aspects regarding reader but it isnt confirmed what they are or if they really are supernatural, just an angelic seeming reader.

a/n ;; — got a thorfinn x reader thing with a similar concept, if any of u like this then u should give it a read

──────────────────

  ⋆*・゚:     :✧*⋆   ・゚

you were a bit of a mystery. no one knew much about you, besides your name and that you could fight. some of them didn't even know your name, but each of the men were aware of your almost regal style of fighting. regal, if you weren't killing men within seconds. it came to you naturally, you never faltered in your movements and they were never rushed nor sloppy. precision was your forte, and power exceeded from every swing of your blade. they stayed out of your way and you stayed out of theres, in a way, you were askeladds secret weapon during battle.

you were unreadable and untouchable, with nothing in your way and nothing fazing you. most knew the way of battle as bloody, brutal and barbaric, whereas your battle was showcased as an art rather than a bloodbath. even comparing the two was an insult, they were essentially the same things yet so stark in contrast to the witness. no true viking fears death, a true man awaits the day they are killed and kiss the world goodbye whilst greeting valhalla, but each man you slayed died in true fear.

perhaps, they wonder, a valkyrie does not take you to valhalla. perhaps the valkyrie is the one to slay you first.

what other logical option would there be?

when askeladd is given the duty of keeping the danish prince alive, who was better than two of his best warriors to guard him? even askeladd himself felt almost awkward and on guard around you. he was a casual man, but your inhumane and unreachable characteristics made it hard for even the most carefree to remain unwavered. but he did note than in the end, you were just a kid. he hadn't the faintest idea about your past or what had occurred for you to want to fight alongside him and his men, and it likely wasn't the wisest to have not one, but two kids grow up alongside vikings, but he couldn't ignore the feeling of something akin to almost pity.

but as always, you agreed. you had heard a little of this prince from hearing little bits and pieces from askeladds men, but you hadn't met the prince just yet. you wondered if he would be the typical pampered prince or if he would be aware of the battle and war he'd be getting into, but either way, you had a job of protecting him so you would make sure to succeed in doing so. you were aware you'd be working with thorfinn to ensure his safety, but you weren't too worried about him. both of you scarcely even knew the others name, just remembering eachother as the other kid who had grown up with the vikings.

there was a mutual sense of respect binding the two of you together and you were both aware of the others strength and abilities in war. you were of the same age and seemed to tolerate one another more than the rest, even if you had never talked properly. you were mildly aware of his harsh upbringing and want for revenge due to the death of his father, and he was aware of your capabilities and how you separated yourself from truly being one of the vikings.

the three of you were brought together when you had been introduced to the prince and his carer, who spoke more for him than the prince did himself. you and thorfinn stood alongside one another whilst him and ragnar stood opposite, askeladd hastily making introductions and summarising to ragnar that you and thorfinn would be the ones to protect the prince. you heard his name was canute, and you wondered if someone as fragile as him was truly next in line for the throne. he was pale and pretty, even though the upper half of his face was covered with a mask. with long golden hair cascading past his shoulders and down his back, he almost reminded you of freya.

with your arms behind your back, a straight posture and your analytical eyes set on him, he cowered behind ragnar. you felt almost sorry for him, feelings as though he was something to be treated with care and not someone who was against his brother to become king. obviously, thorfinn saw this as well but instead of feeling sympathy, he saw him as a joke. " he's the one who's going to be the king of denmark? " he mutters, and you're unsure of whether he's talking to you or himself. " it's like they've purposely sent him off to his death. " your murmur back nevertheless, the conversation ending before it began as your eyes met for what the two of you think was the first time since meeting eachother.

thorfinn shows his obvious dislike towards canute, glaring at him wordlessly and making him even more overwhelmed. once thorfinn had left, you looked back at him and it seemed like he was looking at you as well. it was only for a split second, but you could've sworn he had slightly parted his lips to say something before shutting them tight and remaining silent.

but you had grown to learn these two more and more after this. the three of you would usually be together more or less, as you and thorfinn were partnered together in this task and canute was who it revolved around, so it was a bit obvious. and strangely, you didn't mind them either, and they learnt to look past your perfection and become more comfortable as well.

they were both quiet, but their silences were completely different to the others. thorfinn was mean and stubborn, but he was real and loyal. the two of you sat in comfortable silence, giving what little help you could offer to other as both of you knew well that neither of you belonged in this band of vikings, and that you had no one else to rely on but eachother. you had grown used to relying on your blade and survival instincts as it was obvious that you weren't fit to be a viking, but it was strangely nice to have someone else who was like you in a way. he was sarcastic, but once the conversation between the two of you began, everything was fluent and without tension. the conversation flowed freely, and you had forgotten how nice it was to genuinely converse with someone else.

he didn't speak much, but he was meaningful and his short replies were honest and held true interest. you had someone you could rely on whilst in battle and he had someone he could go to when he felt drained and burnt out from his endless cycle of training and want for revenge.

canute was shy and easy to tease, so much that you couldnt help but take every chance you could to lightheartedly tease him, and sometimes it flew over his head. you let out quiet giggles every time he flustered, and even when he was oblivious, he blushed at how you laughed, noticing that you were teasing him. he was unlike any idea you had of him before you had met, and his cooking was good too. it took a while for him to ease up and let his shoulders relax, but after a few minutes, he couldn't help but feel at ease. canute indulged in emotions a lot, and it was surprising due to how he seemed almost emotionless due to how little he spoke in the beginning. always flustered, always looking at you even when you were far away, and always noticing little things about you.

he was intimidated at first, your calamity scared him. he felt more on edge due to how at peace you were, hiding behind his red cloak even more at seeing how your eyes were focused on him. he felt slightly insecure, but you put him at ease as well. in the beginning, your attention to him whenever you spoke was overwhelming, but then he began to feel like for once in his life, he was being heard.

his fondness for you never changed, even after the death of ragnar and his realization. he saw you as someone who was essential for him to become a good king, and he always kept you in his mind even after becoming king, indirectly thanking you.

everything became more meaningful, chattering on to thorfinn comfortably about literally anything whilst travelling to another village, cooking with canute while he teaches you, training and sparring with thorfinn, fiddling with canutes hair, little things that made you happier than you were before. you used to maintain your perfection and live with your own company, but now you weren't completely on your own and surrounded by men you didn't fit in with.

you were aware of their dislike for one another, but you tried your best to stay in the middle and try to bring the three of you together. you didn't think it was possible to have been able to find something that interrupted your cycle of battle and your loneliness, because you had come to enjoy their company more and more when getting to know the two strange individuals, and they felt the same. both were overwhelmed and intimidated, and both learned to love you all the same.

Another Vinland writer yesss I’m so happy 🥺 I would be so happy if you provided me with some Askeladd content!! Can I please have some HC’s of Askeladd with a very soft and caring person? Like she she pets his head while he falls asleep on her lap, and he secretly MELTS but he can’t have his men see it lol. Thank you!

#pairing: askeladd x very soft gn! reader (HCs) #warnings: trying to be gender neutral as possible, our boi askeladd needs some love and i am here for it, in this hcs our boy ashkeladd is really in love with the reader #a.n: enjoy my first post ayo and thank you very much for being my first request! can't wait to write more in this verse :) hope you don't mind that i made the hcs more gender neutral, really wanna try to make my writing for everyone

  • complete total opposites
  • he seems to be the type of guy that would occasionally flirt with (name) by habit, and then he is like
  • “oh–”
  • “…oh.”
  • he suddenly feels something and tries to hide it
  • maybe it was the way that (name)’s smile brights his and everyone else's lives, or the glimmer in her/his/their (color) eyes when the curiosity strikes
  • (name) was a bit like a flame, and he was the ashes.
  • or even better, (name) is the sunshine while he is the moonshine.
  • if you were to ask him, he would deny his affections towards (name), but all the soldiers can see it clearly, even Thorfinn knows what’s up, and time to time uses against him
  • example : “I just don’t kill your right here and now because of (name)”
  • Pretty much is no secret, he is just too proud.
  • One day, after a huge successful battle, him and the crew came back to rest, and (name) was there already to take care of everyone who was hurt
  • He was just sitting on the grass ground, sharpening his sword, wasn’t hurt at all from the last battle
  • And then, he watched (name) approach him
  • Every step that (name) took closer to him, just made him overthink of the reason behind it, minutes seemed like hours as the thoughts ran through his mind
  • Right when he was going to say (name)’s name, he felt the light pat on his golden looks, the delicate fingertips running through the strings of hair.
  • “I have heard some things–” (name) began saying, only for his heart skip a bit by those words and the warm smile given
  • “I have heard that you did great in battle, I am proud of you, Askeladd.”
  • Even he couldn’t contain the slight redness on his pale cheeks, it’s like his usual ego was just taken by an angel in a split second, even had to look away from (name).
  • As time went by, he would try to get a plan to keep (name) close because he needs more of this
  • To the point of actually bringing (name) to battle and such
  • Bjorn is worried that this is a bad idea
  • “Of course it’s a great idea–! We need aid in battles, so (name) got us covered.” Askeladd would say, smugly trying to cover the obvious trails of affection
  • Bjorn would just reply “It’s not because of that–” but Askeladd would give no chance to be argued against
  • From then on, both grow super close, to the point that now we have (name) calling him “Ashe”
  • Even in late nights, he would make sure that both of you are a bit away from the group, having time for just the two
  • It was one of those nights, sitting close to a lake that (name) saw how tired and stressed he was, and let him lay his head on her/his/their lap.
  • As before, the fingertips would run through his golden looks, this time he would relax to the gentle touch
  • before he closed his eyes, he would look up at (name) admiring the looks of the person he loved so much for so long
  • “(Name)” He whispered the name, his voice a bit rough from feeling tired, but soft nonetheless. (name) would pay attention to him, the soft glimmer of curiosity shining on her/his/their orbs–
  • “You make me feel things.”
  • You can imagine what happened next.

So here’s my question, thorfinn and askladd are interested in Vinland for different reasons, askladd interested cause the hero Arthur headed there to heal, and thorfinn interested cause it’s a land of lush lands. Imagine if they come across a woman from the future(she doesn’t tell them she from the future, just that she is from Vinland) and anytime she talks about America (vinland) it’s sounds like an advanced civilization. (Super tall buildings made of metal and glass. Army with hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, food of all kind able to get and make. Including thousands of spices. Hundreds of kinds of beer and wine, beautiful women) she seems very educated, so educated some of the things she talks about make no sense. (Physics, advanced maths).

Wow, I really get surprised how many people can come up to such interesting ideas! I was thinking about it for a while, so I decided to write what I was able to create. I am nor American, neither english is my mother tongue, BUT I did my best to write these imagines. Again, I wanna thank you for such an idea to accomplish. I hope you will like it!

Askeladd

In a tavern

“ Young gal, how dare you to sit here alone that night so unprotected? You can end up being stolen or even worse...” The blonde man drank a pint of ale and exhaled looking at the young woman, she looked so strange to him. He has never seen such untimid women in his life. All in her nature was strange to him, alienlike. And these traits attracted him like a magnet.

“ I am Askeladd. Where are you from? Are you Brit?”

“ ( Name). No, actually, I am from... far away. America, do you know about it?” You nervously touched your hair, but kept a firm smile on your face. No, in those times with those men as him you couldn’t show any drop of fear. Not a bit.

“ Alas, I have no idea what you are talking about. What is it? Is it in Africa or...”

You interrupted him and replied “ A-me-ri-ca. It is across the ocean... like.. if you go to the west and..”

He was caught by surprise.

“ Vinland?”

“ Yes... uh, I think you call it like it”

“ How did you come here? No, what is it like?” He drank another pint. His sight was glued to you. You felt good, all the attention, so sheer and pure, of such a fine man, was all for you. You didn’t know why he was so curious, bur you filled your lungs with air and started speaking.

“ It is massive with cities”

“ Cities?”

“ Yes. There are a lot. From coast to coast. Our houses are tall and... we can get.. water anytime!”

“ How come?” His tipsy look sobered up in a second. Bloody hell, water anytime!

“ I don’t know. It is all about the canalization system”

“ Can.. Canalization system?”

You started showing the pipe shapes, he laughed at you because your gestures seemed to him reavealing and vulgar. You blushed and realised that you were speaking from a man from the 11th century and decided to switch the topic. What would interest a mercenary?

“ We have good medicine”

“ How good, (name)?”

“ Like, healers can help many people, childrrn don’t die. We live in warmth and...”

You how the look of curious changed to rage and confusion. At the moment you felt that your time, 21st century - is the best time to live. Now you sit with a fine man, but you couldn’t survive here for a day. You stopped talking, but he asked you again.

“ How good?”

“ No one dies, almost. But it is progressing, getting further..”

“ Was it the same way like about 30 years ago?”

“ I think so, it depends”

“ I don’t know wether your words are true or not. But if I had a chance to get to the place you are talking all this evening about-“

He seized his cup, looking into his turbid drink.

“ (Name), If it is real. I am glad to know this cruel world changed at least”

You averted your eyes. You touched something in him.

“ It didn’t, but it is another story to tell, Askeladd”

Askeladd’s voice changed. Stern and serious, he took your hand in his and look straightly into your eyes. You became numb. Ah!

“ (Name), if you stay here I will buy a place in the inn for you. Just tell me more about this A-me-ri-ca?”

Thorfinn x Future! Reader

Iceland, at Thorfinn’s home

“ Woman, how can you walk like that? It is still snow outside! You could even die near our front door!” Ylva coated you with several wool blankets and you stick to the hot clay cup filled with fish broth. You don’t remember what happened to you: you just fell asleep and you woke up here, among the endless fields of snow and sharp mountains, just in your light T - shirt and shorts. And you have no idea how these people found you , but they saved you, fed you, gave you clothes and more. Gave you one more day to live.

“ I-I am s-sorry”

“It is ok, Ylva. You have children to put in bed. I will look after the guest.”

“ Thorfinn... put her in my bedding. Me and Ari will sleep with kids”

She whispered to him.

“ Don’t let happen what happened when our father was here...”

“ I won’t”

She nodded and went away, taking her kids in another room. You stayed on your place, sitting near the hearth. So warm...

The man, named himself as Thorfinn, sat in front of you. He seemed to be so indifferent to you, but he had just no idea to start a conversation with a woman who is such in a bad condition. You kept silent but he was near. After some time you felt better and you asked him, trying to sound as good as you could.

“ Where am I?”

He nodded, his brown eyes blistered with fire flames. He looked so handsome you thought, but his face and hands were covered with endless scars.

“ Iceland. In a village.”

“ I see... I am ( Name).”

“ Thorfinn. I am glad that my friend and I found you”

“ Yes”

You nodded and started looking around. Why is everything so old? What time of history.. is this?

“ Are you a warrior, Thorfinn?”

He sighed and looked somewhere far, somewhere his memories were. Far away”

“I used to be one. But all those stories are in the past. I am a merchant. A traveler as well.”

“ Where do you travel, Thorfinn?”

“ I traveled some places. Now I am aiming to sail to Vinland. It is in the west. They say these lands are lush and prosperous.”

“ Can it be.. uh? I am from this place, actually.”

“ Really? But.. is it true?”

He was marveled by your words. Surprisingly, he believed in your words without any shadow of doubt.

“ Tell me something about it, (Name). Сan people live here and never be afraid of hunger?”

You smiled again. These people think of such basic needs, and to have food for tomorrow is enpugh for them to feel safe.

“ Yes, they can. People even.. do other duties, there are little people who work in the farms, they earn their living another way.”

“ I see... is it that warm? Do you have snow like here?”

“ Oh, Thorfinn, Vinland is so wide, there are lands that have never felt snow on their soil, and there are territories which look like Iceland”

He opened his mouth.

“ But will there be any lands for my people to stay and have a good life?”

“ Yes, Thorfinn. It is so peaceful. We quarrell but in Amer- I mean Vinland, people of many ethnics live together at peace. And there are no slaves..”

“ It must be the safiest place to live, ( Name). But It sounds unreal, hm..”

You nodded tiringly. You got warm and now you just wanted to drown in the obvilion of sleep. Thorfinn saw it. He stood up and took your hand. How gentle he was to you. Now you saw him close. How gleamed his eyes, and how enthusiastic he was.

“ I want you to introduce to my friends tomorrow. One of them has been to Vinland. Will you go with me, (Name)?”

You whispered.

“ Yes, will..”

“ Then, all my thoughts of redemption were not in vain, I can fix all I had done”

You felt his heart bumping, his breath, he had something that worried him deeply. You put your effort and smiled again to him, for him.

“ Thorfinn, I promise you will.”

He brought you to your bedding. Finally, you had your sleep and it was the best sleep you had in your life.

I’m just curious why everybody actually by default assumes Kakashi is reading smut or pоrn (unless it’s some kind of exquisite trolling just for the sake of it)? Like honestly, why? Can we revisit the definition, please? If a movie contains a sexual scene, does it automatically make it pоrn? Adult – yes, but pоrn? 🤔 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I never found proof that what he was reading was specifically ‘pоrn’. And if you ask me, I’d probably define it as ‘adult romance’. 😙

I mean, sure, that 🚫 sign does look a bit intimidating, but what other facts do we have? 🤔

First of all, it’s not even NC-17.

Second, when Kakashi reviewed it in the anime, he was talking about the plot, and the people in his imagination were nowhere even near a smut scene (ok I know it’s not an adult manga/anime, but come on… there are plenty of suggestive things in them).

In the databook, he says “Love, romance, heartbreak”. Um… there are tons of ways to hint on more explicit stuff, but he didn’t – those were the characteristics he mentioned. 

Finally, it had a movie adaptation. With advertisement. Can you actually imagine a pоrn movie with huge advertising banners? 

And if you remember, a princess was going to star in it (and perhaps did, I don’t remember). And while this was being discussed, she was not embarrassed or even slightly discomforted, as you would expect from someone invited to take part in a highly smutty movie or in a movie based on an extremely smut book, no matter how mildly it was adapted. Like, even if you are ok with the subject, still I think one would at least pretend to be awkward.

But nope, it sounded like a perfectly decent film to take part in.

Her court also didn’t seem to mind that, as far as I remember. Would that be possible had the plot contained nothing but pоrn? Don’t really think so.

Ok, perhaps most of the above is not canon. But what about canon proving otherwise then?..

I don’t think it’s porn without a plot, it’s more of a +18 romance novels and that idea is actually coming from the manga, first from this message Kishimoto left at the end of one of the chapters

And from the scene where Kakashi had to read a few pages of the book out loud and it was pretty smutty, you can check @pfreadsandwrites translation of the Icha Icha pages we’ve seen in that scene here

And this is why I disagree with the opinions saying that he’s reading it for the plot alone or for the smut alone, because judging the way he’s gushing over how great the story is and seeing how he couldn’t wait to read it and stayed up all night to read it twice to the point that he forgot all about his work, the way he panicked when Naruto threatened to spoil the ending for him before he gets to read it and also the way he blushes and giggles while reading the hot scenes, it’s safe to say that he’s absolutely enjoying both things about the book, the story and the porn XD
