I agree with the other Anon. No one write a line of the script involving Thor without Mir being there to approve it <3

A S G A R D ( Ásgarðr )

“Crown of the heavens, citadel of the gods, it rises as kingdom and hymn both, wrought in stone and starlight. Its spires like spears of dawn, the streets bearing the weight of triumph and tragedies alike. Gardens breath with life and fountains sing, every hall vast enough to cradle the magic.

Here is Valhalla, where the honored dead raise their cups in endless feast, Gladsheim where the voices of the divine weave the loom of fat, and Bilkirnir, thunderer's own hall whose breadth could shelter armies and still leave room for more.

To gaze upon Asgard is to know both the fragility and the glory fo the realms, that it might fall and rise again, yet always burning with radiance.'

(( good morning french toasties <3 i've been clocked in for a bit. i should be doing some words. instead i'm chugging coffees and in deep rants / discussion with rose about ragnarok, odin, and all the trash that marvel did. good times :3 i''ll be around on and off to try and work on stuff in a bit. i hope you are comfy and safe wherever you are <3 stay hydrated.

[asgardianhammer]

your worldbuilding posts blow my mind tbh the thought you put into thor is both beautiful and inspiring. they should put you in the writers room for the next thor film!

(( <3 what a presh bean, ty bootiful soul!

i would love to, but honestttllyyy, it appears decent on the surface XD in real time it's chaotic. i would drive eveyone fricken nuts!

live footage of me doing stuff:

bless your wonderful face for the love <3

ok but can you elaborate Mathematics: this includes basics of engineering, kids are learning this?

(( Listen, there is a method to my madness nonster!! reason 23944 why none of the deleted scenes should have been deleted gdi fu marvel...

these are their TOYS!! i repeat, these are children's toys!!

Now i can't imagine any Asgardian parent or caretaker would enjoy being bothered daily for them to FIX this stuff if it's not working or if it's jamming up or whatever. That would get tiresome and annoying REALLY fast. So it makes sense to me that kids would learn some form of engineering and tech skills at an early age. Also keeping in mind that they tend to allow kids in spaces and in situations that are very uncommon for kids on Midgard ( late nights at banquets and feasts, in taverns, they are allowed to go pretty much everywhere ). Kids are smart, and eager to learn, and Asgardians favor the pursuit of knowledge. So yes, kids learn engineering, at the very least the basics of it, enough for common day-to-day tech usage.

On the Halls of Learning: The Academy

Disclaimer: As always this relates to Asgard for my muse’s MC universe, solely based on head canons. ( * )

“Amid the golden spires of Asgard echoes not only the clash of arms but als the cadence of scholarly pursuit. The Academy stands at the heart of knowledge and honor, an institution where future leaders are not only trained in war but tutored in wisdom.” - Scholar Nevilla Vildottir of the Archives

I. Governance & Faculty

The Academy's instructors are of distinct orders:

Templars: Strategy, ethics, combat, leadership and discipline related subjects. While the origin of the Templar was mostly spiritual guidance, the title refers to anyone that is considered a "keeper of knowledge". This includes teachers from all classes, provided that they are accepted as a tutor by the Academy's counsel. Most Templars have long and extensive careers in their specific field of expertise before teaching others.

Scholars: Custodians of lore, history, Seiðr, sciences and languages.

Artisans: Practical and crafting subjects.

Students are assessed for teaching potential and interest for it as early as adolescents in their early centuries, and can request additional tutelage in any subject if they so desire. All co-curricular activities are also available for all, and they exist for almost every subject.

II. Core Curriculum

Reading & Writing

Runic Theory / Runebinding: carving and charging items with runes for various purposes

Seiðr : basics, spiritual and metaphysical training, insight into fate and basic workings of Seiðr

History

Poetry: mostly focused on kenningar and creative writing

Physics

Biology

Mathematics: this includes basics of engineering, and some geometry and algebra

The core curriculum is taught to everyone at age appropriate levels. As the faculty members do not believe in limiting students in any way there is no divide in primary, secondary or higher education in strict ways. Students are allowed to pursue interests and knowledge beyond what is considered "normal" for their age.

( ad: education is mandatory, and the core curriculum is mandatory up to a certain age, however tutelage is not limited to the Academy. More often than not children will show interest in specific subjects early on, and it is not uncommon that those opting for a career for example involving a craft will join an Artisan's guild for it.)

III. Electives

Ethics & Stewardship

Civic Diplomacy: training in basic diplomacy, oaths, rites, dealings with other realms

(a) Languages & Expression

Vanir Dialects

Dwarvish

Elvish Dialects of Alfheim

Kree Standard - practical, basic

Xandarian Trade - practical, basic

Flora Colosi ( Groot's language )

Ancient Runes

(b) Natural & Cosmic Sciences

Stjarnfræði ( akin to Astronomy ): celestial mapping, celestial navigation, cosmic cycle theory.

Alchymia ( akin to Alchemy ) : studying metals, transmutation, healing brews, elemental essences.

Ætherics: everything relating to Yggdrasil and the Nine, energy currents and related topics

Healing: anatomy, herbs, medicine, practical study and with heavy Seiðr elements.

At intervals of three autumn cycles or seasons students undergo Trials of the Three paths, exams that test heart, mind and body in various ways to gauge their skill levels.

An education is considered "complete" when the skill levels are deemed very good or outstanding.

( ad: there is no graduation per se, at least not on a massive, classical scale. Students graduate on their individual merit.)

IV. Military & Combat Training ( ** )

Basic Combat Expectations: every Asgardian receives foundational melee training, blades, shields, and basic Seiðr wielding for combat. Training grounds are common in each district, and the palace holds specialized ones for melee and ranged arms.

Advanced Military Curriculum: those who prove to be particularly skilled and show interest in such can proceed, moving on into careers either within the militia, or with the Hirdmenn.

Tactical Command: formation warfare, logistics, realm specific strategies.

Runic Weaponcraft: infusing weapons with runes for edge, balance, defense

Elemental Command: ( for those withe elemental affinity ) control of the elements, and tactics using them

Honor Bound Sparring: dueling and methods.

V. Personalized Curricula - Reserved for royalty & nobility

( ad: this is by no means any forcing of head canon on anyone, this is simply what I suspect would be interesting, possibilities )

extended combat training: guidance on wielding specific weaponry

extended diplomacy

extended Seiðr : by Frigga, illusion, glamour, communication and variations thereof

Philosophy

( * ) As with everything else, I am not a scholar in any shape or form., and these are just my ideas regarding the education system. Big bag of ye ol' salt to be applied where applicable.

( * * ) The military part of the Academy is actually so extensive and vast, with their own rules and regulations, that it will probably get it's own lore post at some point

(( every time i'm doing a massive lore post there's an itty bitty voice going: * whispers * all that shit is gone. and then i throttle that little voice with violence because there's a next gen that needs to know these things >> andthatwillnotlearnthesethingsproperlybecausenotenoughpeoplelefttoteachitlmao... gods i hate my brain XD

[asgardianhammer]

(( good morn butter cookies <3 i'm settled for a work day for a few hrs. bit disappointing to check IMs and see several people that deactivated whilst we were in plotting stages :/ i hope folks keep doing what makes them comfortable but man it's kinda sad... i'll be spotty here and on disco, been having some serious world building brainrot over asgardian schooling etc so jotting down stuff about that the past few days. keep yourself as safe and comfy as you can muppets <3

[ ϟ ]—– With intent gaze upon beloved attention would seem entirely fixated on her, yet the words were noted, the trail of thought behind them sensed still.

' I would, of course.'

It falls from the god's lips without any hesitation, conviction and steadfast resolve shaping the words before ration hurried to supply more, then finally what had swiftly emerged carefully considered. Only when more reassurance was made visible, by goddess and impeccable timing of lover's wink, did an exhale leave him.

' My father stood in front of the Diar for nine days, explaining why he wished to marry my mother. And they were betrothed, and she is- was Vanir. A match weaved by the Norns themselves, or so most thought, and still he had to plea and discuss it, at length...'

Lips purse in a faint stance, furrowing of brows a languid shifting and folding whilst eyes move to regard the warrior by his side.

' Some believed she had bewitched him, or the emissaries that had travelled there for the betrothal, others were convinced she would lead him astray, and doom all of Yggdrasil.... Trust had to be earned, and it began with him, and his speaking to them...'

With the faintest jolt chin is raised, defiance only visible in the broad frame as tone is keep calm and even.

' There is nothing anyone can say that will not be met by reason on my end... I will hear them, duty demands it so, yet I will not take it to heart or into consideration.'

Not the first and likely not the last, tonight, the weather gods' antics were paid an eye roll. And still, she almost preferred them to the turn this conversation took.

"Aye, it matters, so does a stab to the kidneys. Care a guess which would be more fun?" Her eyes cut to Ororo for a moment, recalling the day they'd come to her hand in hand, two lovestruck saps set on merging worlds. "There are many fond of her. All can see you're… lighter, but Thor," looking back, she addressed him as one would a friend, a rarity away from home. "You would open yourself to all opinions of your love, of her?"
