If you've got a better storytelling technique than Vikings crashing in stage left, I'd like to hear it · 4:50pm Jun 13th, 2020
"Carabas, why," might be your question. My answer will be, as it is for most things, "Blame Monochromatic."
These fifteen-hundred words of unmitigated nonsense were written for the Pride and Positivity event, which is still accepting entries (and which'll donate to worthy causes in the name of these entries) for the rest of June. If you've something in mind that'd fit with the event, consider submitting it!
Keep a watchful eye on that Completed tag as well. It works fine as a finished piece, and I'd like to make more headway on Legends before contemplating other things. But I'm sure there's plenty of ways yet to play around with the best horses as well as make history weep with rage.

Zoom in on that picture and check out the detail on the axe head. There's a discreet horse.
Did you say vikings crashing in?

A unicorn even!

Why haven't I read the comics yet, every snippet I see from them's pure sunlit perfection.

Tell you what, Vikings atop unicorns. Two good flavours working wonderfully together.
A unicorn axe head! I have found my ancestors!

An excellent lineage!

Along with being Scottish and Irish, I am near perfection.
I was hoping somebody would make a story to go with that picture. Rarity's rocking that outfit.

Horse or not, that's a pretty sweet image. Where did you get it? Commission?

Isn't it bonny. Norse fashion is in this season, and every season for that matter.

Maxima drew it, based on the chat screencapped in Mono's Twitter thread, and graciously gave permission for it to be used here.
I take full responsibility, you’re welcome.

Look everyone, she's not denying it. You know who to blame.
I do look forward to seeing what else you may do with this setting. It's been wonderfully ludicrous thus far.

When the comics are good, they're amazing.

I shan't lie, I've got half of a scene sketched out for whatever next chapter might follow on from what's published. Alfred the Great is a long-suffering man.
Now we need vikingifications of the rest of the Mane Six.
Oh, neat! :)
I should be able to get to it in the next few hours, if nothing else comes up, and look forward to it. :)

Eplamerki, Bleikur Baka, Ósvífinn, and Regnbogastopp could only ever improve things by their inclusion.

Thank you, and I hope it satisfies!

Thanks! :)
...Also, interesting names, at least according to Google Translate. :D

You really should--there’s plenty of good stuff in ‘em. Especially Incidental Background Mare #9.
