Floki Friday # 11 - The Floker

Just stumbled across this on Vikings - Italian fans Facebook page.

Voluspo: Stanzas 9,10, and 11

This is still from  the Henry Adams Bellow 1936 translation of The Poetic Edda. It is the naming of the dwarfs and some of them have very familiar names.


9. Then sought the gods their assembly seats,
The holy ones, and council held,
To find who should raise the race of dwarfs
Out of Brimir's blood and the legs of Blain.

10. There was Motsognir the mightiest made,
Of all the dwarfs, and Durin next;
Many a likeness of men they made,
The dwarfs in the earth, as Durin said.

11. Nyi and Nithi, Northri and Suthri,
Austri and Vestri, Althjof, Dvalin,
Nar and Nain Niping and Dain,
Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Nori,
An and Onar, Ai Mjothvitnir.

Vestri

Shieldmaiden Saturday #11

 I originally found 'Dark Valkyrie' at the deviantArt page of fluxen and it is also now on his own webpage Art of Sang Han.

  This is a beautiful dark piece of work that pulls at my heart. Then that is how all art speaks to me, it has to touch my heart and not my head.

  Thor in his chariot being pulled by his goats, Tangrisnir and Tangnjosyr.

Floki Friday #10 - Floki & Helga's Engagement Album

  Last nights episode between Floki and Helga made me want my very on Floki. Yes he is slightly crazy and has a fondness for mushrooms, but Floki is so sweet and loving to Helga, and she to him, that it just endears them to fans even more.

  So in honor of the happy couple that brought tears of joy to a few of our eyes (yes I was very much one of them) here is there engagement and wedding albums. Starting of course with the engament.

Helga.

  Floki at his crafts of carpentry and boat building.

The result...BEAUTIFUL!

Helga telling Floki that she is carrying his child.

Floki might as well kill me with "Floki the carpenter. Floki the fisherman. Floki the father." Damn him! I'm tearing up again. And Floki's EYES!

Tender family moment.

Then Floki panics about being a good father. Normal for some I believe.

"Poor child to have such a father."         

Helga telling Floki "No! You'll be a wonderful father." Such a good woman.

 

Helga trying to comfort Floki because he thinks he is not good enough to be a father and Floki  trying to comfort Helga because he is frightening her.

Lets get married! Oh Floki, YES!

And may the gods bless us      

Love the look on Helga's face.

 

But no Ragnar.

 

And the kiss

Rollo Monday #10

I got lucky and figured out how to make screencaps just in time for the new season of Vikings.
Because I essentially have a new toy to play with I was able to make a few Rollo screencaps that are from the first few minutes of Season 2 Episode1 'Brother's War'.

So I hope you enjoy them.

Dumb luck on getting Roll's belly button and mushroom.
