Einherjar - Nico di Angelo
A friend of mine actually told me this today, and I had to agree.
Nico di Angelo can summon the dead and control them, either skeletons or ghosts.
Does that mean that he would be able to control the einherjar from Hotel Valhalla?
Imagine Magnus Chase or Alex Fierro being controled by Nico, imagine how funny it would be for everyone except the einherjar.
So what do you think? Could Nico di Angelo control the einherjar?

Sometimes I remember to remind people that I have a Patreon by updating y'all about the stories I'm writing.
Pygmalia creates the perfect woman in this lesbian retelling of the Pygmalion myth. What happens when the power of Aphrodite turns her into flesh & blood?
$10+ patrons enjoy the illustrated version with a sensual artwork by @greypetrel.
Read the plain text version here.
Upcoming in December is another wlw tale in which the valkyrie Hrist hooks up with Freydís, a female warrior of the einherjar whom she chose from the battlefield.
Patrons will also get to vote for a set of sketches for holiday cards, the winner of which will be turned into a printable download by an actual artist (aka not me).
If that sounds fun to you and you are 18+ years old, join here!

Odin is called Allfather because he is father of all the gods. He is also called Father of the Slain, because all those that fall in battle are the sons of his adopt on; for them he appoints Valhall and Vingólf, and they are then called Champions.

My Einherjar Picks
Record of Ragnarok season 2 came out, and I thought it was pretty good! At least a step up from last season anyway. Then I remembered I had this idea. I thought this would be a fun idea and potential reblog/tag game to do! So here’s the list of Einherjar (human fighters) I would have gone with. Feel free to reblog with your own picks of them (or the list of gods) you would have chosen.
1. Shaka Zulu
King of the Zulu kingdom and a well known military genius and tactician! I think it would have been awesome to see him in a battle against the gods. He was known for being downright ruthless in his methods. Took out his own half brother to take power, had the whole ‘poison spit’ thing going, and came up with the famous Bull Horn Formation. He went out like most powerful rulers did, getting assassinated. (Took his brothers three tries to finally get him).
2. King David
Biblical figures clearly aren’t off limits. I mean they had Adam in there so I consider this pick free game. King David murdered a nine foot tall man with a sling and a rock... imagine what he would do with a volunder weapon! Dude was already a badass. I mean: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands”.
3. Mahummaud Ali
I shouldn’t even have to explain this one! It’s Mahummad Ali! Yeah he’s not exactly an ‘ancient’ historical figure but this man is unquestionably the greatest known boxer of all time! He’s the goat! You already know his volunder would be a pair of boxing gloves. Imagine just him getting in the area with a god and going “No fancy tricks, just these hands”.
4. John Henry
Okay, maybe a bit of a cheat here since it’s more forelock than an actual historical figure, but c’mon! It’s John Henry! A dude so badass he died of exhaustion beating a machine in a railroad making contest! Volunder would most definitely be a hammer! He’s jack a god up!
5. Bruce Lee
I don’t even have to explain this one. It’s Bruce Lee. Again, not exactly an ancient historical figure but he’s so badass it’d be amazing to see him in the exaggerated world of RoR.
6. Harry Houdini
Not a warrior, but neither was Nikola Telsa or Jack The Ripper (he was a killer, not a warrior...) I think it would be a really creative fight, with him using his escape tactics and magic to his advantage in the right. I have no idea what his volunder would be, but it’s be awesome. (A deck of cards, a key, a giant box, who knows!). If he lost it would be by being punched in the gut...
7. Bass Reeves
The baddest cowboy to ever walk the earth... period. Dude was an absolute legend. This is the guy who was an inspiration for the Lone Ranger and Django. Imagine this gunslinger up against a god? His volunder would be two six shooters!
8. Henry Every
I don’t imagine most people have ever heard of this guy, but he was the most successful pirate in history. This guy organized a number of pirates crews together to rob this super rich cruise ship. Not only did he get away with it but he screwed off afterwards and never got caught. Was known for being a real persuasive and charismatic dude, which is how he was made leader of the alliance. I just think having a pirate against a god would be cool.
9. Hua Mulan
Another legend rather than a historical figure, but meh. I feel it’s only deserved we get another version of Mulan that doesn’t suck ass. She became a famed warrior in the army while under the guise of a man, and unlike in movies she never actually got caught! In the original ballad she fought for ten years, was offered a high position among the government, but then turned it down and decided to just go home. Never got found out until after. That it badass, and would love to see her tangle with a god.
10. Lapu-Lapu
Lapu-Lapu is a heroic historical figure in Filipino culture. He basically told a bunch of colonizers to piss off, and when they tried to screw him over by setting his village on fire, he rallied his warriors, rolled up and murked them... so yeah, a pretty awesome guy.
Anyway this was just a fun little thing to do. If you guys are up for it then you can do your own list and tag some people I guess. Am eager to see what other people/gods people would have picked to go toe to toe with each other.
