Prayer from the Pagan

I did it I finished it ughhhhh This scene has stuck in my mind for so long and I just thought that something should have been done, so this happened.

And I even wrote a fic for it. Haha. Help.

Some details for archaeology nerds:

The pattern on the pillow is from the circular brooch found in the Pentney hoard, which was located in East Anglia at the time. In contrast of the celtic brooches worn by vikings, which we are more familiar with, this type of brooches were the one anglo-saxon nobles commonly wore. This one was dated around AD800-840, made in Trewhiddle style, popular in the period Alfred lived in, and it is now in the British Museum.

And the cross on the ground is from the pectoral cross found in the Galloway hoard, which at the time was in Northumbria. It was also built in Trewhiddle style, dated around AD900, now in National Museums Scotland, and despite not looking obvious on the picture it was actually made in silver!

And the whole tomb effigy thing—ok, it was not a thing until mid-11th century but since there was one in the tlk universe I just went yolo, lol. I think what the crew took as a reference was the one for Æthelstan, but that was built in 15th century and Æthelstan himself isn’t there, so yeah, that didn’t exist during the time they lived.

More explanation concerning this topic is in the notes of the fic!

A good King relies upon good advice, Uhtred. I speak only as a man who has made mistakes before.

Are you really a future king if you don't have Uhtred and his sons by your side??

Lord please free me from this wretched heathen… teach me how to resist temptation.

I don't know who were the writers who read Alfred and Uhtred's last conversation in the books and said "Cool. Now make it gay." , but I hope they are having a great day.

Am I the only one who didn't know The Last Kingdom cast interview which Alexander Dreymon said he 'shared a bed' with David Dawson existed?

It was a pleasant interview and I really adored all of them, the interviewer included. Alexander was talking about how impressive David's acting was, then the interviewer attentively asked something about a rehearsal process and Alexander casually said:

Look at David's reaction.

And then he turned to David and said:

I snorted so hard I almost choked on my drink, scared my cat in process lmao. I know David is gay and Alexander is straight but damn! How can you not ship them after watching this interview?

Here is the video clip:

Look at David's reaction he's such a cutie I can't- I want rps fiction of these two precious beans very badly fghhgfyygdfd

You could find a full version on Youtube.

P.S. Rune Temte is an international treasure! 🤣

The king also needs some rest!

I know it’s probably very ooc but sometimes I just need them to be completely honest to each other and maybe… HAVE A HUG. There aren’t things that can’t be solved by a hug.

A King's Burden + tumblr text posts

Whatever Alfred and Uhtred have is honestly better written than most of Uhtred's canon romantic relationships lol.

Like a reverse of Sultan Suleiman and Ibrahim Pargali, who were irl lovers and try as they did they couldn't get rid of the very obviously romantic tones to their relationship, the Last Kingdom cast two people with such great chemistry that every scene they do together feels like Alfred and Uhtred are on an on and off again relationship and Uhtred got Osferth in the divorce.
