Truly remarkable.
Thistil Mistil Kistil

Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Coal, when did you learn to be so damn charming?
Being a normal human helps!
And I’m caught up! Thank you for all your hard work, and I look forward to what comes next.
Thank you!
“Oh and by the way, I got a couple more arrows through my shirt. I’m sorry about that too, but at least there aren’t any bloodstains to get out?”
Good thing Coal doesn’t care about holes in his clothes.
Yes, yes, Coal. Remind her of her traumas. That will make her feel good.
Very smart.
He’s describing the Medieval Christian ideal. Slow to anger, quick to forgive, and rejoicing in work pagans across cultures found demeaning. The whole trauma centric world-view is a very modern one that in most ways resembles highly stratified shame and honour-centric pagan cultures. Her rejection of that is central to her character and her choice to be Christian.
As his mother/s are/were Christian/s, he understands that. Seeing it in practice is a lot more appealing than kjust having it described to you in a warrior centric pagan culture.
It’s adorable seeing Coal act like an actual person!
It’s been fun writing and drawing him like an actual person.
