What If Locomelon Had a Scottish Song: Three Craws (Sung by Nico)

Cody is African-American, Nina is Mexican-American, Cece is either Chinese or Asian, and Nico, despite not having a stereotypical accent or personality, is rather Scottish-looking (due to his reddish hair).

'Wool waulking is a traditional Scottish process of finishing and strengthening newly woven woolen fabrics. It is a significant social and cultural activity, often carried out by women in the Highlands of Scotland. The Gaelic songs that are sung during waulking have a distinctive rhythmic pattern that aids in synchronising the work.'

Jill Karla Schwarz, 'Tam Lin', ''Fairies and Elves'', 1984 Source I'm going to use this post as the perfect opportunity to direct you to my favorite song from the folk band Fairport Convention from their 1969 album 'Liege & Lief', Tam Lin (which, I'm sure, I've posted about at some point)

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself. #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024? #and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex. #°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄 #some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out? #good to know

Hear me out, all nations have beautiful and enchanting voices

But only when they are singing their own peoples folk songs

#I imagine their voices are almost hypnotizing #this may or may not be directly inspired by the Irish/Scottish Appalachian inspired songs from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes #always loved that music but the songs from the movie are actually really good! #hws america #nyo america #hws england #hetalia #historical hetalia #hws canada #alfred f jones #hws russia #hws Germany #hws prussia #hws france #hetalia axis powers #hetalia headcanons #hetalia world stars #hws #aph #hws ukraine #hws mexico #hws italy

Siúil a Rún

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Go, go, go my love Go steadily and go softly Go to the door and away we’ll flee And then safe may my darling be

(siúil is a strong word for “go” kind of like “Walk!” or “Come!” and  a rún is an endearment.) 

#I LOVE this song for Silver for absolutely no reason #Every time I hear it I just get the urge to draw him #silver #twst silver #silver vanrouge #diasomnia #au #celtic #irish #siuil a run #siúil a rún #gaelic #my Irish is not as good as my Scottish #twisted wonderland #twst fanart #silver fanart #yana toboso #yana toboso fanart #disney #I linked to KOKIA's version fo the song #but I really like Clannad's version too

In my fix-it wip, Ghost makes a playlist of music he knows Soap likes. Its purpose is to fill the silence of the hospital room and, maybe, bring his sergeant some familiarity to his unconscious brain. Ghost has heard some songs blaring in the gym on base, knows some from long drives to a safe house, and others from when Johnny sketches at his desk after rough missions—a decompressing space only he’d ever been allowed into.

This is what I imagine that playlist might sound like.

Some Soap music taste hcs under the cut because might as well while I'm here~

He likes anything that makes him feel something or makes him want to move around

Concerning AC/DC, he acts like a bon scott purist but truly loves it all

Scotland pumps out the best music artists and he was put on this earth to tell everyone

He only knows a lot of songs because of them playing during football. He will die before he ever admits this.

He's a decent singer (I think Neil’s and Gerry Cinnamon’s diction and pitch would sound quite similar for reference)

When he listens to music through earbuds or headphones, people in the next room can still hear. This is of course because of his shit hearing but also a part of why he has shit hearing. An endless cycle.

Also! Thank you @eiraeths and @traumschwinge for the suggestions—I had to cut out a lot just to keep it under 5 hours, but kept Mr. Brightside and Sex on fire in honour of both of you 🫡 aaand thank you to @solivagantingrebel for your endless enthusiasm <3

#ghostsoap #soapghost #ghoap #lots of scottish artists here i couldn't control myself #I made this for myself really (and you Camus 👁️) but here it is in all its 4hrs and 20min glory should anyone else want a peek #i have. a whole separate playlist of songs that i relate to the fic itself that i'll probably share one day too #anyway here’s wonderwall #(not really) #wtf do I tag this as #me finally going full mental?? #sundowning fic #music recs

your posts about English folk culture being treated as esoteric within England reminded me of a conversation I had with my dad relatively recently. I was complaining about how much I hated doing scottish country dancing in P.E every year in school and he, having grown up in London, mentioned that he never did any kind of folk dancing in school and it really surprised me.

Having an Irish family and growing up in Scotland I just assumed that folk culture would be a big part of national identity in England because it def is in Ireland and scotland. I mean I grew up in the city and I went to a Catholic school where a lot of pupils didn't come from Scottish backgrounds so I'm sure my experience would be different from somebody who grew up in a smaller town or a rural area, but my school still dragged out the girls who could sword dance every year on burns day y'know

Also now I'm wracking my brain trying to remember all the English folk songs I know and realising that it's comparatively few next to the hoard of Scottish, Irish and American folk songs I've accrued over the past 2 decades. That's definitely partially just due to being connected to the cultures those songs come from and that American folk songs are generally quite a bit younger than the scottish & Irish ones, but it's still not something I've ever really thought about

yeah absolutely. it's something england -- and probably urban england and london especially -- has really lost touch with. a lot of my friends and colleagues are irish, and when the topic of things like irish dance comes up, it's always like "oh yeah i did a bit of that as a kid, everyone did" or "yeah i learned the whistle, obviously, but i stopped when i was eight" -- but there'd be no obviously about that here (even when people learn the recorder at school, it's not often trad tunes they're learning to play!)

i don't know if this is to do with the proportion of the population that's urban vs rural in england compared to ireland or scotland (not sure where wales is at with this, they have a strong song tradition but i don't know much about the welsh equiv of trad dance music nor tbh enough about the song tradition to say anything meaningful on the topic), or if it's a "survival of trad culture to spite oppressive dominant cultures" thing so england lost it due to lack of need to defend it, or if it's predominantly a class issue (but that wouldn't wholly explain schools/the national curriculum, particularly at primary level)... i think there's a lot of factors at work

but it's something i do notice because i spend time in those irish-dominated spaces where the attitude towards trad music and dance is so different. but then those are also often irish language communities, so they're specifically irish communities that are interested in their cultural heritage, and maybe that's not representative of the whole country. still, it feels like even people who aren't interested and haven't carried that interest through to adulthood were exposed to it in childhood in a way that many english people weren't because our equivalent traditions have been relegated to this very niche, marginalised (and potentially very rural) status

#sometimes i think i've learned an english folk song but then it turns out it's scottish #it just got written down by an english song collector who got rid of a lot of the more distinctively scottish features #RIP #if i start thinking about how little i know about welsh traditions #i'll get sad again about not knowing any of my dad's family except his brother #a lot of his family was from rhosymedre and llangollen and places like that #i've never even been there although i've been to other parts of wales #i hope to change that this year though. not for Heritage™ reasons but that's a bonus side effect i guess #i need to take a ferry across to ireland so i gotta go to north wales anyway so might as well make a party of it #answered #anonymous #english folk traditions

Imagine a selkie,

But it's an elephant seal.

Or a walrus if you want to be accurate to location.

Alot of myths would have ended differently if selkies became colossal fighting machines after they got their skins back.
