I can't believe they tricked Kratos into getting therapy by disguising it as a roguelike

Unironically though this dlc was peak

God of Hope

[admdiamond]

never leave

[vindicia]

A god of war... a god of pain, of suffering, of destruction. The Norns said I chase a redemption that I know I can never deserve. What does that make me? God of fools? A god of... hope.

GOD OF WAR RAGNARÖK: VALHALLA (2023)

[nonndrawz]

*Valhalla making Kratos face his Greek past for some unknown reason*

(Also Mímir there for emotional support)

Ahh... Tyr, God of Therapy.

Tyr and Thor

From experience I can tell you that the eldest child is ALWAYS the first one to see through the bullshit of their parents.

So Tyr is the oldest child in this verse (nothing says otherwise).

When we hear his story, we know he is this calm, peacful, loving person and that he turned on his father to save the giants and innocent people.

Being the peacful person he is, he must have relentlessly tried to talk to his father and convince him before outright turning on him. and there must have been a breaking point for him to give up on his father completely.

I thought to myself: "What was the breaking point?" and then it hit me.

Thor.

A young Thor who had accidentally killed his own mother.

Odin makes his life hell for it. Tyr begs his father to go easy on Thor.

"It was an accident. He's only a child." he would beg. The words only fell on deaf ears as Odin continued to make Thor into his killing machine.

That was the breaking point. That was the day Tyr started working towards Odin's downfall

Tyr didn't turn on Odin for giants. He turned on him for the giant that mattered to him the most.

Kratos talking about Mimir whenever he has the chance:

learning that the “you” being addressed in the journals is atreus has ruined me fundamentally

[alyona11]

I got so much fun from playing God of War Ragnarok Valhalla I wanted to sketch Kratos. And he turned out SO FUN to breakdown to understand how his face works?

He is SO SHAPED. Like when you look at him you think that he looks pretty realistic but if you break down his head on simple shapes he is so stylized and it’s so cool!

I’ll leave my breakdown of his face I did for myself here in case someone might need some tips:

I was bored in class

As AMAZING as this scene was and I would NEVER change a single thing I can’t deny how badly I wanted young Kratos to speak and hear TC Carson’s voice.

The moment I saw him I wanted to hear the 2 eras of Kratos speak

This scene was perfection though

Kratos after Valhalla

Okay, in post canon I wish for one thing.

I wish Kratos start to slowly returning to his roots after many sessions of therapy in Valhalla. I mean in a good way, not to his trauma, but to his ancestry.

In Ragnarok he had allowed himself to speak about Greece, when it is safe. But in Valhalla he got nearly in a full contact with his homeland. With his memories, with his mother tongue. With his spartan-self.

I mean he denied his greek origin for the hundres of years, not only as an olympian god, but as a man of his culture, because he saw only what he has lost back then and what he has destroyed with his own arms. He was agree to become a foreigner without a name and a past, but his homeland always was a part of him. Hidden and revealed by the Lady of the Forge when she crafted Draupnir for him.

I kinda see Norse saga as his personal journey of reconnection with his descent.

From complete closeness about his origin to sharing his memories one by one about the food, about the literature, about Sparta. To using spear - the first weapon he learned in his life as a Spartan. To facing and LIVING his memories of Greece directly in Valhalla.

And I wish to see him going further and further.

Red chitons or cloth around his hips instead of a trousers. Golden meanders at his clothes, which he embroidered or paint by himself. Bare feet, sandals. Playing flute of lyre he made. Evenings with telling the myths (shock-content about Olympians). Spartan war dances among his friends and teaching Freya to dance it with him.

That would be beautiful... 😭
