Description Can you recall what we once knew
Somewhere without the pain
I feel afraid now, but not alone
We will meet again

Vast

...They will meet again...In friggin' Valhalla.

Askeladd and his devoted Bjorn, from the most amazing manga that has ever been made, VINLAND SAGA.
I can't express how much those two characters impressed me and shocked me and made me cry like a little girl so much it took me years to actually make fanarts of them.

One-sided absolute devotion. Even having a hole in the guts Bjorn cared to ask about Askeladd's wounds. Only Bjorn understood how lonely and hateful Askeladd was under his nonchalant attitude. And it all tormented him so much he had to confess it as he was dying: he wanted to be his friend. Damnit.


Now excuse me, I'm going to hide in a corner to cry my eyes out for them.


Askeladd & Bjorn (c) YUKIMURA Makoto

Thorfinn: Why did you have to die? 
¿Why you left?

I also cried like a baby when Bjorn died.  You've really captured a mood with this.  Love it.

OMG YESSSSSS

;A;

Always love meeting other fans of Vinland saga -checks- and another female fan, at that! :3

Vinland saga is amazing, I love it! Askaladd is my favorite character, along with (adult)Thorfinn. Adult Thorfinn is so dorky and cute. Love him BD

*SILENT SCREAMING*
OH MY GOD YOU READ VINLAND SAGA
AND YOU DREW BJORN AND ASKELADD

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD
*hyperventilating*

....okay, now that that's past -

Dude! This is INCREDIBLE! What a gorgeous tribute to these two guys! I have a giant hole in my heart from Bjorn's diehard dedication, belief, and true understanding... of his understanding of the even of the darker and crueler parts of Askeladd. Even on his literal death bed he still wanted to be Askeladd's friend, even while understanding (oh god, because he knew) that in any other moment Askeladd would never have accepted it, because he could never find it within himself to befriend a Dane..., SJKTHASKJTHSA

Love this. Love this so much. You. You. YOUUU

(It was while looking for fanarts of Vinland Saga I found you, honey! I have to thank Destiny for this !)

THIS STORY IS SO, SO, SO SAAAAAD !
I can't tell how many times I read this chapter, how much I felt the ANGST and the exact same giant hole in the heart when I understood Bjorn had such a major platonic man-crush on Askeladd. And Askelaad's silence was so meaningful too !

(...And now I still can't get them out of my mind u_u ...! I want to do a short dojin now, but I have no free time ! But i'm sure I'll do it anyway! I'm soooo doomed trollololol !)

OH GOD I FELT THE SAME WAYYY
I've re-read Vinland Saga several times, but that particular scene I've read dozens! I love it! Every time I read it again it gets more vivid and I notice all the little things, the little changes in expression and ughuuuuu

I've been wanting to draw a doujin for those two for AAGES (here's a few doodles I had for it, way back [link] ) and seeing your pic has reminded me of how much I wanted to draw it ;-; IF YOU EVER DRAW A DOUJIN FOR 'EM I THINK I'LL DIE FROM AWESOME

I wish there were Vinland Saga doujinshi out there! Insofar as I know there are none (except maybe on pixiv) D': There needs to be more Vinland Saga love out there!

Holy Mother of God! I wish you could draw your doujin !!! *p* aaaah that would make my life complete guuuuhh~

Sure they all need moar love! Who wouldn't love Askeladd's total badassness ? And Bjorn's System-Of-A-Down-ish goatee ? lol I definitely need to draw more about them! Anyway, I have to say I'm utterly HAPPY you love these gentlemens as much as I do c'mere, querida !

Bjorn est un personnage incroyable. Franchement j'ai eu du mal avec sa mort aussi, je l'adorais!
Askeladd aussi ça fait un trou dans l'histoire.

Avoir un Mjolnir en avatar et passer à côté d'un tel manga, c’eut été indigne de moi!!
Sérieux, c'est un excellent manga, particulièrement riche en sens et en aventure, il mériterait plus de popularité.

Ahah c'est très joli comme pendentif. Et puis, pour Mjolnir, je dois plutôt avoir l'image mentale du marteau de Thor dans leur dernier film des Avengers, là...!

Tiens ben d'ailleurs, tout à l'heure je relisais quelques chapitres de Vinland Saga, et j'ai remarqué que beaucoup de personnages portaient des pendentifs comme ça ! °3° c'est donc mjoooolniiiir !

OkuniSensei In reply to Niladhevan [2011-11-27 09:38:25 +0000 UTC]

C'était le talisman le plus porté car Thor était un dieu populaire. Il n'était pas guerrier, et plus clément avec les hommes. Il était protecteur et bienfaiteur.
Comme les missionnaires chrétiens n'ont pas réussi à contrer le phénomène, ça a subsisté jusqu'à aujourd'hui

On peux penser que dans VS, ils le portent surtout avec le vœu "pourvu qu'en face ils castagnent pas trop fort >>;"
J'aime la poésie et la tendresse qui ressort de ce manga

! En faisant des recherches, j'ai vu quelques exemples de pendendifs qui mixaient Mjolnir et la croix chrétienne ou comment ménager la chèvre et le choux chez les Vikings !
