starberry jam: Theory: despite appearances, Alana Bloom is not in 1x08 at all
There is zero doubt in my mind that Alana did not actually kiss Will in episode 8.
Look at the clues.
-He hallucinated sounds throughout the episode.
-He hallucinated Garrett Jacob Hobbs in the theater audience.
-He says to her that she had avoided being alone in a room with him at every juncture before this episode. This is true. Why would it change now?
-She turned up at his house unannounced? At night? This seems extremely unlikely and out of character for her. She said she was on her way home from work. She just let herself into the house without knocking? Right as he’s hearing things that aren’t there?
-Will told Hannibal that she *understood* he had hallucinated the sound of animals in the chimney. She said no such thing out loud.
-She kissed him after supposedly realizing he was hallucinating. That does not seem in-character for her, an outspoken person who cares about his mental health, and does not seem attracted to illness. Even on a level of friendship, she would say something.
-There was no sound of her leaving his house when she turned to go. No door opening or closing. No footsteps. Only silence as we watch Will’s face.
-She interacted with *no* other characters in this episode. Will’s version of events is not corroborated by anyone else or any other context within the episode.
TL;DR: This whole episode focuses around Will’s hallucinations and deteriorating mental state. Every scene in which he is alone in this episode marks hallucinations. I posit that the scenes with Alana are actually also “alone” scenes. She’s not really there. He’s talking to her because he sees her, but she’s a hallucination.
Watch it again with this in mind. All the clues are there.
a quick Cas doodle for tonight!
the day is 28th of april, 2013. season finale episode of vikings is about to end. the screen fades to black and everyone is waiting for the credit roll but instead an exclusive cutscene is shown. it’s the ragnar/lagertha/athelstan threesome scene. planet earth binds in silence. suddenly, people around the world start clapping, cheering, their voices can be heard from other galaxies. country leaders hug each other, they agree to peacefully coexist without any wars. NASA sends the footage into space via frequency modulated radio waves and soon aliens come to greet us and help our civilization expand. ecosystems are now balanced. the air we breathe is 100% clean. planet earth enters its golden age. the universe reinvents itself. instead of being made of atoms, we are now made of millions of tiny viking threesomes. we are viking threesomes. viking threesomes.
