Chuck Norris Ragnar was gay for Athelstan. That's like, a fact. Travis Fimmel even said, when asked what Ragnar's favorite sandwich was, "being between Lagertha and Athelstan", which was fucking hilarious and true
Their relationship was so honest and complete in every way. Ragnar has complicated relationships with everyone. The only exception was with Athelstan. You can see Travis and George off-screen are close also, which would have helped a lot on-screen.
A brotherhood and friendship that exceeds from the borders of religion, culture, race. If you find a friend like that cherish him/her because it's very rare to find that kind of connection.
Love Athelstan and Ragnar together. Bring Athelstan back in visions, dreams and prophecies! There is too much for them to do and say to each other! Athelstan is the Saint of the Vikings just as Saint Patrick is for the Irish! Please bring him back!
The acting is so powerful that is why people love theas actors and actresses who took iconic characters from history and brought them to life and their names back to life thats why is series will be talked about for years to come
Floki always thought he was number 1 in ragnars eyes and maybe was at somepoint, but i can see him gettin his ass handed to him for robbin him of his best mate
So he really DID say "I love you" to Athelstan! I watched a dubbed version and I wasn't sure that was the real thing...could've been "I like you". ...BUT NO, OMG, THANK THE GODS! This is so gay and I love it.
Casthavian Leviathan Lmao he wasn't gay. They probably wouldve executed gays. He meant it the same way as I love my brothers. Sorry to burst your bubble of trying to force gayness on everyone.
I think, to be fair, that if the relationship had been between a man and a woman: everyone would have jumped to the conclusion that it was romantic. A lot of times, when people say "He meant it the same way as I love my brothers", and such, they wouldn't believe it if he were talking to a woman. Most wouldn't feel the need to quickly say "I'm sure they're not Really straight..." As my sister put it "I tell you I love you all the time... but I usually don't look at your lips first." If they're straight, more power to them. But I really don't think that's the relationship the actors were aiming for. Please note that I did not feel compelled to tell you you were trying to 'force straightness on everyone'.
+XxRagnarxX Hey can I make a request: could you make a Rollo and Ragnar video? Seeing how amazing your video's always are, I would love to see one. Specially when Rollo got injured and Ragnar was so worried over him. Those warmed my heart, because he finally showed some affection to his brother. I wish there were more videos about Ragnar and Rollo's relationship. Great video btw! I love it.
Ragnar is not gay. But I do believe he could have been bisexual. Many people claiming that it was just a "friendship" clearly think there is some invisible barrier between friendship and romantic feelings. The two are typically seen together. I don't think Athelstan had the same feelings for Ragnar though. Also, the culture back then was different. You all need to think about this from a culture perspective of that time. sourcebooks.fordham.edu/pwh/gayvik.asp
No problem with that, but I think the problem today is that if men talk of loving each other it is always conflated with being gay. I mean I have a best friend who I love like my brother, who is like a brother to me, but I'm in no way sexually attracted to him. Which is as I've been told a rather important ingredient in being gay! ;) The funny thing is we've overanalyze this too much today and on the other hand think it's just binary, that those nuances in between friendship and a romantic relationship don't exist. You know nuances like Brotherhood, and the brotherly love. I mean the funniest moment was when a psychologist asked me if that friend of mine was ".....just a platonic friend, isn't he?" while when after he had moved to another city and I came to our favourite chinese place, one of the owner's asked me where my brother was! ;) :D Hell even my mother half-jokingly refers to him as her third child. And no we didn't know each other since Kindergarten.....so that depth of bond can happen with someone you meet in adulthood, just as happened with Ragnar and Athelstan.
I understand the feeling. My best friend is a young man who I consider to be my brother. The problem is, he's male and I'm born female. Every time I looked proud of him at school people told him that I was making 'bedroom eyes' at him. Ick. He's gay, I'm non binary, and neither of us is interested like that. Add to that that multiple people at my AND MY CHURCH made the assumption that my sister and I were incestuous lesbians. Yikes. I'm a naturally intimate person, and I've had my relationships questioned my whole life. I love intimate relationships that are completely non-sexual, and I think that the platonic love between two friends is one of the most beautiful things in the world. That said, I'm also a theater kid, and I don't think that straight-up 'platonic love' is what these two actors were portraying. I support their relationship either way and think that it's a really cool dynamic, but from the way the actors have acted in interviews, and the ways they interacted with their lines, I really think they were at least intentionally leaving the option open. To my mind the chief reason to look at this relationship and assume that it's platonic, is if you assume heterosexuality is the first, and natural option, and that assuming a homosexual interest between the characters would be a perversion of their relationship. While I love their relationship as a platonic brotherhood kind of thing, I think it's kind of sad that people act as though friends are 'straight until proven otherwise'. Almost like 'innocent until proven guilty'. As though being found gay is the same as being found guilty... Again, I totally respect where you're coming from, and I feel you. I just feel like 'brothers' might not be what the actors were aiming for, and that people would have been more ready to make the jump if the viking had rescued a nun instead of a monk.
We are born in wonder of the world, We live seeking the answers to the question we ask ourselves when the world asks, And we die in knowing we could never truly understand the world we are blessed to walk upon but rejoice in the privilege to live the life we do.
I now wonder what he meant when he said "What matters to me is where you're going", was he talking about his attack on paris because he could no longer be a part of viking life or was he referring to Ragnar going to hell for his actions?
I really do hope that this was all just a giant ploy. Just like in season 2 when it seemed like Floki would betray Ragnar. "I hate you for leaving me" can mean the simple fact that they had to fake Athelstan's death and he left Kattegat. And it makes sense cause once Floki started riling up other vikings against Athelstan,Ragnar himself could "lose face" because he would keep protecting him. All that plus we dont see CLEAR shot of his face (nor the scene where he discovers him dead) when Ragnar carries "his" body. He might have been just acting because someone have been watching him (Ragnar looks suspiciously around the whole scene). Its all probably just wishful thinking though.
While I wish it was too, I doubt it. George Blagden left the show to star in a new series Versailles. Scheduling conflicts made it necessary. I hope Mr. Blagden made a wise move because Athelstan will be sorely missed.
El Gambo That scene alone made me cry, it was such a powerful sentence. I dont think many can say they have loved a friend that much. I hope you are right!
+PapierFever garentee if you watch the series you'll cry when ragnar says farewell to him..it's like losing your best friend and not having anyone else to console his soul and beliefs
The awkward moment when Floki is a ship builder but sank this one.
hahaha, That's the funniest thing I have read all day!! glad you like it. :)
I HAVE JUST WATCHED THIS EPISODE AND I'M NOT OVER IT. HOW DARE YOU!
(I hate myself a little for laughing, good one!)
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Athena Cookie Are you trying to insinuate that they were gay?
Chuck Norris Ragnar was gay for Athelstan. That's like, a fact. Travis Fimmel even said, when asked what Ragnar's favorite sandwich was, "being between Lagertha and Athelstan", which was fucking hilarious and true
I was so touched by Ragnar's love for Athelstan. Their connection was of the soul. A very rare thing.
Their relationship was so honest and complete in every way. Ragnar has complicated relationships with everyone. The only exception was with Athelstan. You can see Travis and George off-screen are close also, which would have helped a lot on-screen.
this was just flat out beautiful relationship....going to miss it so much.
A brotherhood and friendship that exceeds from the borders of religion, culture, race.

Love Athelstan and Ragnar together. Bring Athelstan back in visions, dreams and prophecies! There is too much for them to do and say to each other! Athelstan is the Saint of the Vikings just as Saint Patrick is for the Irish! Please bring him back!
I truly AGREE with you T__T I loved their relationship too!
The greatest bromance ever. They were my favorite characters in Vikings and love them both. Missing them!
Asluag : ragnar loves me.
Lagertha : he only loved one woman... That's me.
Athelstan : hold my beer...
(meanwhile)
Floki : ahhhhhhhh....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The acting is so powerful that is why people love theas actors and actresses who took iconic characters from history and brought them to life and their names back to life thats why is series will be talked about for years to come
Oh, the year is 2024, and I still come in every year to watch this clip.🤗❤❤❤🤗
Athelstan's smile at 1:53 made me break out in tears. I miss him so much💔
I haven't even watched the series yet, and this has already made me cry. This vid is beautifully made.
i wonder if they ever did meet again
yes duh
Floki always thought he was number 1 in ragnars eyes and maybe was at somepoint, but i can see him gettin his ass handed to him for robbin him of his best mate
Athelstan's faith is unwavering...it's incredible. May God bless each and everyone of brothers and sisters in Christ.
I know I’m late but....this song fits them so perfectly it had me in tears
Oww ragnar... come back miss you so hard.... best actor in this serie... never forgett you
i can't stop crying
King Ecbert seemed to be just as obsessed with Athelstan as Ragnar was.
today is it 7 years from this video.
Ragnar and Athelstan´s friendship is the best one
This words :“ It does not matter where i go what matters is where you're going ”- Athelstan
Very good video! "I love you, you only one I can Trust!"
The only person Ragner ever loved.
Great video! It made me cry
Thank you for this mix
So he really DID say "I love you" to Athelstan!
I watched a dubbed version and I wasn't sure that was the real thing...could've been "I like you".
...BUT NO, OMG, THANK THE GODS!
This is so gay and I love it.
+Casthavian Leviathan think ragnar meen like a brother
Ment it as a brotherhood

He said that and glanced at Athlestan lips

I hope what you said is true! Cause I don't like seeing Ragnar suffer anymore T__T

hippychikforever I sure hope so, cause he will be missed.
El Gambo That scene alone made me cry, it was such a powerful sentence. I dont think many can say they have loved a friend that much. I hope you are right!
hippychikforever he did not leave...he was written out by Hirst. George said he was very surprised
Floki’s a fool
Bring back ragna
It was really painful, I cannot keep watching the show after this.
