Thats also acceptable i think.

Very much so, yes. Honestly Válhöll is a little hardcore for most warriors (Berserkers would have a blast though). But tbh Helheim is a pretty nice place if you aren't itching for bloodshed...

I don't think that would work, hospice nurses are pretty chill. I mean no matter how much of an asshole you are, they know they can smugly wait and watch you die.

I thought you had to die with weapon in hand? Or is it a fictional interpretation? (well, invented as a later interpretation, I mean)

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 19 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's a contemporary interpretation. Most people wouldn't want to go to Válhöll, and even the majority of warriors would rather rest in Helheim. And, of those chosen by the Valkyries, half to go Fólkvangur with Freyja. You also don't have to die in battle necessarily. A legendary warrior who earns Odin's favor might go even if he dies of age raising sons to be warriors (a very respectable position).

Its conflicting even in the sources. There's at least two lines that directly say "everyone who dies in battle goes to Valhal" However the sagas and Eddas are full of people dying in battle who are said to go to Hel. Similarly we have many people who do not die in battle who seem to believe they will be going to Odinn's hall. (academic speculation warning) most of the people who die outside of battle but still intend to go to valhal deem to be specifically Odinn worshippers. Perhaps there's a link there to the odinnic cult.

I'm happy to accept a juice box to the face as part of my end of life nursing duties. To Valhalla with you all!!!
