- Here is my 5th video on Vikings, I know many of you are already seen this kind of video back better, but I was obliged to make in my way, nothing spectacular, just a story between 2 characters, the importance that door ragnar to Athelstan is incredible, I miss him so much..

When Ragnar wanted to become a Christian so he could meet Athelstan in heaven was a real heart wrencher for me
G O T YT yea i agree bro
@@nayer__ Lol islam is a joke
@Soukuso he learned how to prey so Athelstan could hear him. It wasn't only for raiding Paris
@@darkness_slayer1421 1.8 billion people do not agree😉
@@nayer__ islam is fake
Ragnars life went down hill as soon as Athelastan died
I never realized that... thank you!
Because Athelstan is the only person he can be trusted despites of their differences.
When rollo betrayed him
I agree. I don't even think Rollo's betrayal or Lagertha leaving him had that much of an effect compared to when Athelstan died. I'm not saying those didn't lead to Ragnar's downfall because of course they attributed to it. But there was always something deeper about his relationship with Athelstan and when he was gone, Ragnar just seemed more lost and miserable than ever. In a way, Athelstan was the true light in Ragnar's life. Their religious differences in fact bonded them more closely and they learned so much from each other to the point they saw similarities in each other's gods and customs. Ragnar's final speech to him was honestly so sad. You can just feel the agonizing pain of his loss through his words. Besides Lagertha, it was obvious Ragnar truly loved Athelstan.
@@IBeMelissa well said💔
“I hate you for leaving me” that hit me hard when I first watched it
TMC me too.
Agreed it was powerful
Nearly cried again. Great writing.
TMC just by you typing it brings tears to my eyes
TMC same . Still hits hard
Theirs was the only relationship that felt genuine in the show.
Bjorn and Halfdan was pretty decent too. Not on this level, but I liked how it just came outta nowhere
@@dariusbekker2602 True, they shouldn't have killed Halfdan so soon. Especially when we were having really interesting moments between those two, a waste of a character.
Oh hell no. Floki's relationship with the Gods was just as true.
@@dariusbekker2602 If u cut Halfdan in half, you have Half Dan,
@@michal26691 I fucking hate Floki. I never really seen any redeeming qualities of him. He was useful but not a great human being.
Athlestan is my favorite character ever written. When he died, the show was not the same for me.
Sarah Smiles YESS, same for me.
Same and then ragna dies...
@Mooky Blaylock season 4b and 5 are shit, they rush and kill people that matter, like Halfdan and Gutrum, Guthrum could feks raise an earldom in the name of his father, Earl Borg, and Halfdan a kingdom to fight his brother
I agree
Same for me 😞
2:14, 3:10 and 3:32 Most of the Vikings hated Athelstan when he decided to remain a devoted Christian but Ragnar didn't care because true friends are for life he even protected him.
This applies strongly to real life
While Athelstan and Ragnar may have not been anything more then friends no one and I repeat no one can deny that they were soulmates fully 100%. Ragnar loved that man completely and I believe Athelstan loved Ragnar. Like I said it may have been a deep deep friendship brotherly love but it was love and it was more then either have ever had.
soulmates are not real. Men guide their own fate. They fashion the course of their own life.
Pocahontas
SAID IT.
Soulmates are real there is one person who a person will contact with completely. That is what a soul mate is its not a fairytale its a person with whom you can bare your soul too and be loved. I believe in fate I believe everything is destined no matter what. Also its a tv show I'm just saying they are soulmates.
You can be soulmates with someone who isnt a spouse or even more then one person. If a person cant see how much they loved each other then Idk what to tell you. I mean everyone knew why do you think floki was so jealous.
@@Horsethief666 I agree with Pocahontas but I think its two parts you need to work on yourself as well as get lucky, there is no one "soulmate" but you need to get lucky to find a person that you just click with, but if you don't work on yourself beforehand they might not see you the same way as you see them and that's the part you can fuck up.
You're the captain of your ship, but you don't control the weather or the waves.
Ragnar would never love anyone the way he loved Athelstan.
We will meet again, somewhere between Heaven and Valhalla!
Hmmm..Ragner told him he may not meet him as he goes to Valhalla and Athenstan go to heaven. he said to Athenstan his God doesn't allow Rangers to meet him in heaven as he is not Christain.
In the dark void of Ginnungagap
@@samsmith2635 what a horrible fate
Purgatory?
when ragnar was about to die, he was praying to meet his most beloved once again
😭
Lagertha
@@iakovos56 pretty sure she was alive
Athelstan was the light in Ragnar's life. He knew he can trust him and he'll never leave his side even if the whole world stands against him and after Athelstan's death there was just darkness in Ragnar's life. Both Ragnar and Athelstan saved each other
Infinity Music and.... killed eachother?
Floki was my favorite character but then he killed Althelstan. Floki was a jealous person indeed, I miss you Althelstan. Hopefully Ragnar and Althelstan ended up together somehow.
I know in my heart that they share a heaven. Death cannot seperate true love. Ragnar and Athelstan were meant to be, and in death they have found eachother again, even if they maybe needed to overturn Heaven and Valhalla to do so.
Athelstan and Ragnar weren't gay lovers meant to be together if that's what youre getting at. It wasn't "true love". I know it's hard for modern minds to comprehend but 2 men can love each other and not be gay. In those days relationships were so much more meaningful and bonds between people were extremely important. Ragnar and Athelstan's relationship was more of a spiritual and brotherly bond more than lovers. In the end Ragnar even says that Athelstan was a brother to him sort of insinuating that he was more so than Rollo.
TheFuneralPyre Maybe they weren't lovers, but their bond defnitely went way beyond any other relationship any of them ever had. In the end, Ragnar gave up his gods, everyone he loved and who loved him, Lagertha, his whole family. He literally gave up Valhalla just to share a heaven with Athelstan because he couldn’t bear to be separated from him. If that's not telling, I don't know what is. Two people don't need to kiss or fuck to show that they love eachother, and those two have proved the depth of their bond over and over again. If you don’t think that, that's fine with me, but I'm still convinced that even in the afterlife they fought to be together, lovers or not.
Magi V he didn't sacrifice Valhalla. He was only baptised so that he could invade and breach Paris. It's true, he and Athelstan will never meet again, it is sad.
Actually, Floki did have a vision from the gods. Remember the bleeding statue?
Ragnar love him more than he ever loved anyone, the show died with both of them.
Even gay cinema doesn't have anything as strong and emotional as the portrayal of Ragnar and Athelstan in this series lol
😂😂😂😂
So true. A lot of gay cinema is just sex which is sad 😞 but anyways I love these two pure soulmates ❤️
That’s an overstatement
🤣🤣
You haven't been watching the right gay cinema.
I feel the bond between these two. the best show ever
thanks friend ;)
Calvin Wong What I like to think is that at first sight Athelstan thought Ragnar was the devil, but afterwards he realized he was his salvation
Left a like, and took my like back when you said “best show ever”.
@@rynzller4412 not true, Athelstan saw this opportunity to show the love of Christ to Ragnar and the other Vikings. Athelstan battled with confusion and doubt because he experienced the Paganism ways and felt their Gods' presence, but then God intervened and lead Athelstan back to his identity in Christ which is why he was born again. Nevertheless I really loved this friendship and appreciated it.
Athelstan was Ragnar's true love. I've never seen anything like that in a show. Vikings is my favorite show of all time.
Amen 😭🙏
True
they were soulmates t.t.
@@1chicaRandom they were brothers,
@@whereschavo3953 they were more than brothers. Compare Ragna's relationship with his real brother, it will tell you enough.
I'll admit, the scene where Ragnar was carrying Athelstan's body to bury him and the subsequent dialogues, made me bawl like a baby. Their friendship was so frickin beautiful
Another down low male. Ladies pay attention
Floki was right to be jealous. Their friendship was so special.
He is jealous cos he hated all Christians very much. He is said to have tried to became a seer to Orian.
Yeah, he had no chance to get between them. Absolutely none
@@DavBlc7 it was deeper than just his Christian-ness, Floki loved Ragnar dearly but he felt Ragnar only saw Athelstan.
What Ragnar and Floki had was special too, but then came Athelstan with his christian influence, trying to teach Ragnar of his fake god. Floki hated him with good reason
When Athelstan died, my enthusiasm for the series decreased. I was never a fan of Ragnar, I highly question his wisdom and judgement. But his beauty as a person shines when he was with Athelstan.
A Viking Bromance: The Story of Ragnar and Athelstan
Yess
Haha yes
Biking ROMANCE
@@edennolani8171 are they openly gay, it's canon?
luke Fisch Lol no but it’s clear they love eachother and that they’re soulmates when you see their interactions :)
“Wherever you go, I will follow.” What an incredible evolution of a wonderful friendship. It’s a shame that Floki did what he did.
Best friendship in the World
Its not a friendship
@@lidovicio If you think so
@@lidovicio ur right it's brotherhood
@@eyosyastebeje9555 i dont think so
Girls kiss* oh they’re just friends
Guys “I like your tie” .... GAEYYYYYY
so sad when he left the show. His character development was unlike any other. He completely did a180 in character. From struggling celibate monk to having sex with a princess, it's almost like what we started with, isn't who Althalstan ended up as being. Completely different character almost. Amazing actor is George Blagden. He will surely be missed. Although, I have seen Versailles. It's amazing.
4 years later yet I still miss him
I miss Athelstan so much. Dam near shed some tears on this video :(
I study History of Art and people keep asking me what art is. THIS, ladies and gentlemen, IS ART.
lol... I hope you dint put this in any of your presentations !!!
Nope, I didn't. But god (not joking xD) if I could chosse between this and certain art I wouldn't hesitate . I mean well, that's pure emotion and that's, in my opinion, what art should be about.
@Sara Rodriguez You should definetely see Sense8’s Christmas Special and Hernando’s speech ;-)
You're better off studying a spatula and grill. At least there's some money in it.
Seriously? Programs like this are one of the reasons that 4 years ago I stopped watching TV and haven't seen a film sense. I got tired of being told that an endless stream of gore, violence, actors stuffing their genitals into a bag and crawling between another willing performer is "quality entertainment" instead of the violent soft core porn it is. Or that images of decapitation, strangulation, mutilation and anything in between accompanied by a close up view of a performers pubic hair or butt crack so I may have some familiarity with where their next load of shit will be exiting, to be worth the price of a ticket or a subscription. Thank you.
Athlestan truly loved ragnar, and admired him above that (i believe) to the point where he shifted his fate to fit what ragnar wanted, he lived the life of a warrior but their bond was kinda rusty towards the end cause Ragnar was a savage, he didnt know another life but the one that he had (even tho i also believe that ragnar wanted a different fate for himself) when athlestan finally knew who he was, the man he wanted to be, he wanted to share that with Ragnar but it was difficult, they werent in the same page, and they both couldve... help each other grow, but then athlestan was killed and with that, ragnars first glance of a different life, thats why his character descent from there.
I dont know if the writers intended this to be platonic, or romantic and honestly i dont care.
But the portrayal of two souls, brought up differently, understanding each other to the core, without words, by pure instinct ... was just brilliant.
I wish they wouldve had a happy ending.
Love your comment! I’m just happy to have been able to view and experience their beautiful journey from start to finish! They were truly soulmates indeed ❤️
I agree!!!
God damn it Athelstan! Why did you have to die? You kept Ragnar sain and true. After you left his path was nowhere...
Wholly shit, one yr later I come back I still feel the same the I see I have 50 Bothers and sisters that feel as one....Bless you!!!
DirtyDerds Couldn’t agree more 🙌
Broke my heart when ragnar was burying him.
Ubba looks so much like young Ragnar its crazy, you'd think they're brothers.
Pancakefatboy 669
Ubbe is Ragnar’s son silly 😜
Ubbe is a bitch
@@joshuaportman3289 I make you my bitch
@@King-er7ef bet
Even Lagertha says the very same thing in the show.
I can't watch this. It's too painful now. 😢😞😭 I feel like anything I see with Ragnar now, I'll just break down into tears.
Hua Mulan my heart is broken too, I can't believe 😢
Athelstan , the guy who get killed for no reason , he broke ragnar's heart ......
The story of Ragnar and Aethelstan is one of the beauty of the Vikings. Love it.
I lost a good friend 2 years ago and it hit me really hard. I can certainly understand why Ragnar was never the same after Athlestans death 😔
Roni Hakanen I’m sorry for your loss. May he/she rest in peace 🙏
I loved to see their relationship growing through the seasons, from master and slave to equals. I loved the fact that Ragnar accepted Athelstan belief and was curious about it. I believe they were meant to walk together and they will again in the next world, I have no doubt.
Yes
For me the saddest part was seeing Ragnar and Ecbert hate each other to the death yet they still loved each other to the bitter end and couldn’t kill each other, that made me sad 😔
one of the most stronger relationship i have ever seen on TV Thankss friend for this clip
When Ragnar said I love him that part made me cry
Athelstan’s importance was only seen through the wisdom of Ragnar and Ecbert
Athelastan was always real and never scared to talk, that’s why he loved him, and even though when he was new to the camp he watched over Ragnars family, and he gained respect like that and he taught Ragnar the language and all
They relationship was the best part of the show
damn you Floki for killing Athelstan
Ragnar & Athelstan will always be in our remains never to be forgotten!!
Best bromance in TV history in my opinion
Two very different people with different beliefs love each other despite all that
Athelstan is Ragnar's only weakness 😭
Ragnar and Athelstan’s relationship reminds me of me and my best friends relationship. It’s true that friendship is a form of love
I feel the same about my bestfriend. Unfortunately he passed away 5 years ago, but we were best friends since 12. There was nothing gay about our relationship but I honestly feel that I've never loved anyone like I did him a.d will never feel that love/friendship again.
You enslaved your best friend?!
AMAZING job. They are soulmates. So sad they will never be reunited :(
+VL G Thank you, Yes Athelstan miss him a lot, I will have wanted to see him to fight alongside of ragnar
This is hands down the best friendship in the show. So beautiful.
Miss him too. He was my fav with Ragnar. The show wasn't the same after his death.
Btw, beautiful video. You made me cry :'(
“ I wanna be baptized so that i can be with my christian friend “ - Ragnar.
Great job! It was so touching!
Thank you man :)
Bukiś co ty tu robisz
This is beyond exquisite.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
best love story ever
This is amazing! Really touching, I love Vikings and the Ragnar Athelstan scenes were the best part of a really good series.
Thank you Eliza ;)
As much as everyone heaped anger on Floki, he, too, loved Ragnar and did what he did bcuz he truly believed Athelstan wasn’t good for Ragnar, whether rightly or wrongly. Ragnar punished him physically but even worse emotionally. When Ragnar finally forgave Floki, I was glad, bcuz Floki’s Love was also true. Ragnar was blessed to have such friendships, and he himself was magnetic and charismatic to have inspired such loyalty.
I think he killed Athelstan because he was jealous, although he would never admit it out loud. He did love Ragnar and maybe he really thought he was doing the right thing but that doesn't change the fact that he intentionally let Ragnar suffer, which led to his depression and later drove him into madness. In my opinion, Floki was incredibly selfish. But well, that's just my opinion :D
@@martina-dd6vb Floki wasn't selfish at all. If he was selfish he wouldn't kill Athelstan, he thought he was saving and helping he's best friend by killing the priest. Simple as that
@@goncalofernandes1432 I don’t agree, imo floki was jealous and killed him because of that. He was also much more close minded than ragnar
What an incredibly artistic video. I cried through the whole of it. When Athelstan died, I stopped watching the show at first. The only reason I picked up on it again was due to people telling me that Athelstan even in death kept being relevant to the show. They were right but it wasn't enough honestly. Athelstan and Ragnar elevated each other so much that after this important story was over with one of them being dead the show - at least to me - could never fill that loss again and dropped in quality immediatly. When Ragnar died as well I only kept watching due to the fact that I am a history buff and found some storylines ok but sadly Vikings became a predictable revenge domino effect story that kept repeating this trope over and over again.... Ragnar and Athelstan stood out in all that.
Name a more iconic duo than this, I will wait
one of the best friendship stories in movies or series.
Ragnar's last moments just breaks my heart...seeing Athelstan everywhere
I have only watched a few episodes of Vikings but I came across this and wanted to watch their relationship and why Ragnar was drawn to him. Beautifully done. Thank you.
Most people forget that aetheslan saved Ragnar from drowning. This is one of the best friendships I have seen in a movie. They were never afraid to express their love for one another, tried to understand each other's worlds,and both died believing in their faith/ God.
Ragnar and Athelstan. One of the best commentaries on faith in popular culture.
Anyone watching 'Athelstan' as Louis XIV in 'Versailles'? Excellent series, right up there with 'Vikings', 'The Tudors', and 'Borgias' (the one with Jeremy Irons).
I've recently discovered 'Versailles.' I must say, George Blagden is an amazing actor!
I knew I recognized him from somewhere!
The Tudors..... Omg!!! 😂😂😂😂
Yes I immediately recognized him on Versailles and he’s such an amazing actor. The two portrayals are so different. i think he portrayed louis xiv the best so far
@@TheSerpaul He was also Grantaire in the 2012 Les Mis movie; I know a lot of people (myself included!) started watching Vikings because they'd loved Blagden so much in that role.
Even in real life ragnar loves athlesthan you can see. How he hugs hil and play with him . even kisses him . they are really good . i like their characters in the serie. They zere amazing
i miss him..
“ We will never meet again my friend, I hate you for living me. “
This is beautiful 🌹💕😘
Rangar and Athelstan's friendship was one of my favorite things about Vikings.
Found this video and right after started watching Vikings. Binged 3 seasons in 3 days. Athelstan and Ragnar were definitely soulmates, thank you for this video ❤️
Thank you man, I'm glad you started to watch this show because of my video, next seasons are awesome too ;)
King FireMan It’s my new favorite show!!While it does not feel the same without Athelstan, season 4 is still going strong 💪😁
The love between them was so genuine and deep
1:47 when my teacher asks me if i'm cheating in my exams...
can we appreciate how good of an actor floki was tho
It reminds me of a friend I lost and love.
My best friend of 20 years ghosted me this just this year...
I'm not ashamed to say my heart is broken, because I loved him.
There's truly nothing like the bond brothers/friends have.
Ive watched this show from the beginning. I love the relationship between these two men....whether it was friendship or something more...it was heartfelt and touched them both to their very soul. Completely beautiful and transcendent. Though it may be just a tv show isn't this the thing we all long for....a love that touches us and changes us and makes us better than we are.
The care and love the two of them had for each other reminds me of the love Xena had for Gabrielle.
i sincerely need a ragnar (vikings & uhtred (the last kingdom) crossover edit, since both take place around the same time in history, this video is amazing!
Haven't seen the series but this is a beautiful story of love and spiritual connection. The core of the story is actually very close to what such a relationship would've been like in the ancient Viking era.
I can't tell you how much i miss this man. :'(
Ragnar loved him because he was innocent and had no hatred or desire to hurt or take anything from anyone. Athelstan was the kind of person ragnar wished he was but could never be...a free man
I've just started watching the series now. Yes, I'm late, but honestly, this relationship was amazing. I loved every bit of it.
I loved him so much that I named my cat after him, so he will never be forgotten..
Omg best comment ever!! 🥺
the best bromance of all the tv shows
The only true friendship in the entire series, never once was there a sign of betrayal.
My favorite part of the series is their friendship, I adore both of their characters both so different but so in need of with the other one has to offer. I'm at the end of the series on Amazon and it saddens me 😟 I'm quite fond of it .
Such an epic friendship/bromance, whatever you want to call it. Thanks for making this video!
Omg why am I almost bawling over this video, I can't. I love their relationship. So beautiful and pure . I know that they are just characters but I really hope they ended up together in the after life.
why did athelstan have to die !
Because his purpose was served.
Because that's the way he died in real life
Esta fue una relación pura y bien construida, se podia sentir el amo y respeto entre ambos. Lo ame 😍😭
It was the symbol Athelstan had in the Vikings which makes him so awe inspiring. Vikings a group so native , brute and territorial and their leader Ragnar finding a friend in a person outside of his community . It made him think outside of even what his gods thought , made him question what gods wanted . He helped transform Ragnar made him realise acceptance and empathy a true symbol of change in the Viking way of thinking , a trailblazer many would say .
This breaks my heart. Their connection was the best thing about the show!
All your videos are perfectly edited i love it, good job, keep it up!
Thank you ;)
This is sooo WONDERFUL!!!!
Compliments on the video brother. Great quality, I can tell you thought out and understood the building of these two characters throughout the seasons.
I've never seen this show, not an episode of it, but I nearly cried from this. ♡
i believe with all my heart that Ragnar searched for Athelstan when he died
Can't believe I only discovered this amazing series years after it started
This is really well put together, awesome job!! Their story is so frickin romantic T_T
I've been waiting for someone to make a worthy Ragnar & Athelstan video... One that encapsulates their "leap of faith" and friendship! Well done indeed! thank you.
Piękna niezwykła przyjaźń ...... Niesamowity serial
You are doing an amazing job. Thank you for your work
+Fenix Thank you my friend
When Athelstan died, part of Ragnar died. All he wanted to do was join his buddy in Valhalla.
"We will probably never meet again my friend" the pain in that sentence. How this show never won Emmy after Emmy just shows the level of corruption in the media
This is perfect. Thank you for creating this. I did share. I miss that bond....think it was a good example for life! XX
