He doesn’t fully understand how heaven works in Christianity, he figures “heavens”, like the sky, so he buries him as high as possible so it’d be easier for Athelstan to go to heaven.

Ragnar loved him more than any of his wives lol

[barbarablue]

the perfect world in Kattegat was when Ragnar was living with Lagertha, the two kids and Athelstan in the same home.

I don't think I've ever seen a show capture a pure friendship as well as they did. Their bond was something special I've never seen replicated.
Really loved when he was choosing to stay and Ragnar says "if you change your mind, your friends will be leaving at first light" as a way to signal that although he's annoyed by his decision, he still loves him and wants the best for him and just hopes he comes with him for his safety.

[spacetheace]

If a man admits to loving another man unromantically, you know that their friendship is one of great importance and impossible deniability. A bond that is built by respect, struggle, and trust. They do an amazing job of showing the past between them that we never get to see. 10/10 here. I love it

[ulisesaranda]

Find someone who looks at you the way Ragnar looks at Athelstan.

[jeremyjealousy]

The look they share when Ragnar says “wherever you go.. I will follow.” Was SO intense. Truly a soulmate situation.

[Rizzbulla]

The only person Ragnar didn't look to the ground when telling him he loved him, straight into the eyes lol.

[destinytallent]

5:50 love how Ragnar protected Athelstan from the arrow. He knows what to look for

[gundome]

I hope someday our gods will become friends. Is one of my favorite lines.

[impogianduknow]

I miss this show. So much love for brotherhood ragnar and athelstan like real brothers 💪

[michaeldriggers]

Aethelstan, "I am born again" Ragnar, "what do you mean 'born again'? Like a baby?"

[nolanmejia]

Their relationship is so intimate it could easily be mistaken for romantic but I love how they make it clear they are brothers and dear friends and nothing more

[melodkeyelash]

Athelstan revealed the side of Ragnar that Ragnar refused to show anyone else, not even his sons. Ragnar was forced to be cold and indifferent with all others, but not with his best friend.

I miss the earlier seasons of this show so much

[IronBoulder]

Mutual respect and love between men of different faiths. Take this as an example, people.

[cking]

Ragnar had such an open mind and thus he was so very successful ❤

[thefilmeffect]

I fell out of love with this show after their deaths. Ragnar’s character and their relationship was the most interesting thing about this series. It made more than just a spectacle of action and intrigue.

[kekillion]

"If i can help king horik, id gladly stay" broke Ragnars heart instantly

[thomasprislacjr.]

You gotta love that Floki repeatedly goes like "man why doesn't Ragnar look at me that way?"
