Alright, chapter 206 of "Vinland Saga", and holy shit, what an incredible chapter this was.

All my fears of a convenient or easy resolution to the brewing conflict just evaporated with this chapter.

Starting it out with the natives already attacking Arnheind Village, already slaughtering a family, and juxtaposing that against Thorfinn's attempts to evade conflict, the reader knowing it's already too late, was a brilliant move. I was seriously on the edge of my seat reading this.

And knowing the natives are now heading toward Thorfinn's house, where Gurdrid is in the midst of giving birth, Jesus, the stakes couldn't be higher. Clearly these people have no qualms murdering women, and I'm guessing they have no qualms murdering children either. War has already begun, as the editor's caption at the end says.

I'm really loving this, because Thorfinn's resolve of pacifism has never been more sorely tested than it is now, and I frankly don't see a way out of this while maintaining that vow. Violence has already broken out, and Thorfinn's very family, his wife and children, are in danger. If Thorfinn DOESN'T fight, they could very well die. How far does Thorfinn's resolve to abstain from violence reach? Would he let his own family perish to hold to his vow? These kinds of questions are of course what makes a story like "Vinland Saga" so interesting. What good does an avoidance of conflict amount to if innocent people die for it?

And then there's Einar and Thorfinn's own, emerging conflict. To see it come to this between them is heartbreaking, but incredibly realistic. Einar is Thorfinn's first and best friend, and yet they're at what seems an impasse. Einar's refusal to leave, and his declaration that no one else will leave either, is true to reality. All of the Nords worked too hard, sacrificed too much, to just agree to leave. Thorfinn's idealism is starting to run into harsh reality, and it isn't going well. When Einar accuses Thorfinn of caring more about his vow not to kill than he does the village, this is also a harsh clash of reality against his idealism. Again, he's faced with a vital question. What's more important to him, making amends for all the lives he previously took by creating and sustaining a world and a life for people trying to escape war, or his vow of pacifism? An even more impossible question, how can a world free from war even exist if you aren't willing to fight for it? I really like this. Because it's presenting the incongruence of a totally peaceful world. It can't actually exist. In order to defend something and sustain it, violence can't always be avoided. You can't always refuse to fight. Because there's always going to be someone or something which threatens it. Thorfinn's conflict with Einar really encapsulates this. At a certain point, you have to choose. Hold, without compromise, to an impossible, personal ideal, or fight for the lives of others. Einar isn't wrong when he tells Thorfinn his continued insistence that the Lnu aren't their enemies is stupid. They are because they refuse now to allow the Nords to stay, under threat of violence. That's an enemy. A world without enemies was only ever a fantasy. The impartial and unbiased spread of disease ensured the impossibility of pretending otherwise any longer. There's always going to be a situation of it being either us or them.

Now, the attack on Arnheid Village is all the more devastating. It really is too late to avoid war now. They've killed a man and a woman. Two members of the community. And they're headed for Thorfinn's home next. This presents further, terrible questions. There are no weapons in the village, the very thing the natives are looking for. Thorfinn's insistence of bringing no means of defending themselves could very well cost lives now. The irony, of course, is that it was Ivar smuggling weapons into the village in the first place that ignited the native's greed, and encouraged them to attack to begin with. Further irony is in the fact that Thorfinn's own pacifism is what lead to Ivar attacking the Shaman in the first place, convinced as he was that Throfinn was weak and wouldn't be able to defend himself. "Vinland Saga" really is presenting both sides of the argument now. It's both Ivar's violence and Thorfinn's pacifism that has contributed to the current state of things.

But the Nords aren't going to be able to be talked out of all out war, at this point. First blood has been drawn, and there's no way they're going to listen to anything Thorfinn has to say any more about not fighting.

I really don't know what's going to happen now. Thorfinn and his group are being pursued by the war party of natives, and his village is under attack, with Gurdrid and Karli and the others all in danger. If Thorfinn can't make it back to the village, his family might die. And if they do, what would be Thorfinn's reaction? How would his vow of pacifism even hold up to that? Or if he is able to make it back to the village in time, I can't imagine he'll just stand by and let his family be slaughtered. He'll have to fight to defend them. He may even have to kill.

This is by far the best chapter of "Vinland Saga" in a while, and one of the best of the entire series, I think.

Things are really starting to come to a head now, and I can't wait to see how this develops. The two month wait is gonna' be hard to take.

Hi darling

I was wondering if you could write something with Qin Shi Huang. Maybe one where the reader is a goddess who is watching the ragnarok and she catches Qin's attention when hes waiting his turn to fight. She is also Hades ex lover Thank you so much ❤️

hi rukia!!

I hope you're having a good day/night :) if it's not too much trouble I want to ask poseidon x goddess reader, how would he act if they had twin sons (just like poseidon) who don't let him spend time alone with the reader and they always want their mother's attention :) (with smut at the end if you want?) thanks in advance, and sorry if this makes you uncomfortable or something was not my intention :) ps: your writing is amazing you are definitely one of my writers favorites :) take care of yourself.

I ran with this 🏃🏼‍♀️

Warnings: fluff at first, 18+, no minors 🔞 , throne room sex, a dabble of touch starved Poseidon, Poseidon discovers he has a lactation kink,

So remember that scene in RoR/SnV where The Serpent was harassing Eve by grabbing onto her and not letting her go because he wanted her all to himself? Could you write something about how Thor and Hades would react if they heard news of that same situation happening to their s/o? Sorry if this is confusing- 😵‍💫

I actually really like this request 🎀 very creative.

Warnings: harassment, spoilers for the first chapter of the manga. (The first chapter of RoR played a little different in one particular scene read that first if you wish.) 18+, no minors 🔞, violence.
