i’m re-reading Valhalla and there’s this ai described as an anthropomorphic wolf wearing traditional russian garb. i’m pretty sure this isn’t what the author meant, but it was funny so i drew it
Behold the first fanart ever of Prokofiev!!! Indeed I was thinking of a Kosovorotka, but traditions change I suppose :)

Yeah, that’s Heimdallr’s job!
Things I want: Open-World Valhalla game
Build your character, choose your backstory, play a short section in which you’re taken to The Ravine, choose your Tikari, train in all the combos of melee and in the weapons of the game, go on missions with your team. And walrus detail. Because nothing with Valhalla is complete without Walruses (Walri?)
If you Fuck Shit Up, you get a visit from the Geki or a permadeath. Or both.
Of course a storyline, what about I have no idea. But you could follow it or hold it off, but once you start following it, you can’t chose missions outside of it, because I personally play like the first three main missions then side quests sidetrack me and it also makes sense. And the world of Valhalla is such that you really can’t ignore problems that are building.
Visit the other bases, interact with characters from the book.
Multiplayer and single-player.
Splitscreen too we need to bring that shit back.
If done properly it could be an incredible game. Valhalla has all the action, lore, and characters to make the best game in years.
Agreed on all but split-screen. I have plans for that…

Vibeke/Nel ship
Hm. Fair warning: I’m imagining these in an AU where the two of them actually got to like, settle down and shit. Keep that in mind I guess.
Who’s the cuddler: Vibeke. She’ll snuggle up with Nel whenever she’s sleepy, and tends to be very physically affectionate.
Who makes the bed: Vibeke. She likes to keep things in order, and it always bothers her when Nel (and Violet, back in the day) doesn’t make her bed.
Who wakes up first: Nel. She barely sleeps anyways, and when she does, it’s not for very long. She usually just watches Vibs sleep until she wakes up, thinking to herself.
Who has the weird taste in music: Vibeke, probably. Nel has no idea why she likes classical music, and doesn’t know of anyone else who does.
Who is more protective: Hmm, this is really close, but I’d say Nel. This is the girl who literally tore out her own heart just to say goodbye to the woman she loved.
Who sings in the shower: Vibeke always sings in Norsk while she showers, and Nel gets really caught up in it, hanging on every syllable. She loves the sound of Vibeke’s singing more than anything.
Who cries during movies: Neither of them. Nel almost cried while watching Up for the first time, and Vibeke mocked her for a week because of it. Now they’re more likely to just crack jokes about the sad scenes.
Who spends the most while out shopping: Nel. She always acts like she doesn’t want to buy anything, but by the end of the day she’ll have 20 bags full of random shit and an empty bank account. She buys anything that catches her interest.
Who kisses more roughly: Nel always worries about accidentally kissing too hard and hurting Vibeke without meaning to, so usually it’s Vibeke who goes rough.
Who is more dominant: I’d say they’re tied. Sex between Vibs and Nel is one of the most destructive, violent things mankind has ever witnessed, and it’s 90% them just wrestling for control.
My rating of the ship from 1-10: 10, definitely. I just adore these two together. They’re my Valhalla OTP.

YA GIRL GOT HER TIKARI
This is the first Valhalla...
YA GIRL GOT HER TIKARI
This is the first Valhalla tattoo ever and it’s absolutely perfect. It has always been my dream to create something that someone would deem worthy of getting tattooed and this is a major moment in my life, I can’t even express what I’m thinking and feeling right now fully.
It’s a great tattoo, on a great person, and I am honored beyond words to have had such an influence. Thank you @kvitoya and to the tattoo artist!!!
