I'll be the first to admit that the whole time-skip thing that they're talking about for season 2 in Vikings is not something I'm a fan of - mostly because I suspect they'll leap straight across a bunch of stuff I'd very much like to actually watch play out.
That said, if time skips are going to be customary, I really hope that means we'll get to see Ivar the Boneless. Specifically, Ivar the Boneless as he appears in Ragnarssona þáttr, where - well, let me quote you something: Ivar the Boneless was king in England for a long time. He had no children, because of the way he was: with no lust or love—but he wasn’t short of cunning and cruelty. And he died of old-age in England and was buried there.
Because yeah, Vikings has its flaws, but something I've been enjoying so far is what![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
calvinahobbes has been referring to as 'consent vikings' as well as the many warrior women we get to see over the course of the season. Is it so wrong for me to hope that the show will go on to include a kickass asexual character?*
*Especially since I'm planning on getting my hands on Hammer of the Gods as soon as I can, but I'm kind of steeling myself, considering wikipedia describes the Ivar the Boneless in that as: an exiled and overweight sexual predator with an appetite for pederasty. Come on, I just want awesome ace!Ivar, is that so much to ask?
