can't help myself. another dps wip begun <3

#if anybody's interested the concept is:#it's 1904 and todd is on a family holiday - gets whisked through a stone - ends up with the fairies #and when i say fairies think tuatha dé danaan - NOT like ya fae #lots of funky political intrigue follows #as todd falls in with young lord neil and his attempts to subtly remove his father from his duchy #and tries very hard to not be outed as a human #i couldn’t help it i promise. it came to me in a dream!#dead poets society fic #dead poets society #anderperry #there's decapitation (threatened) amputation (real) portals (dangerous)#and probably an overabundance of geasa #they are such convenient plot devices #htoo writes

Áine, Celtic Goddess

Water had a special magic for the Celts as a symbol of vitality and inspiration. The fact that it could capture lights (for example, a reflection of the setting sun) could not be rationally explained and was taken as proof of supernatural properties. Wells and springs were charged with magic powers. Lakes and rivers were the dwelling-places of otherworldly beings, like the Lady of the Lake in…

*Deh₂nu

*Deh₂nu- is a hypothetical goddess of water in Proto-Indo-European mythology, with connections to the names of rivers like the Danube, Don, Dnieper, and Dniester, as well as the Vedic deity Dānu, the Irish Danu, and the Welsh Dôn. Despite acknowledging a possible lexical connection, Mallory and Adams contend that there is not enough evidence to support the idea that a distinct river goddess existed in Proto-Indo-European beliefs. They primarily highlight the Indic tradition's understanding of river deification. Furthermore, Mallory and Adams suggest that a theory for a sea god called *Trih₂tōn—whose name is derived from the Greek Triton and the Old Irish word for sea, trïath—is unsupported by the lack of a corresponding sea god in Irish mythology and only minor lexical similarities. The Ossetian god Donbettyr is also mentioned in the story. Who is placated by gifts to keep the waterwheel turning, and who Donnán of Eigg proposes as a Christian equivilent of this figure.

Moreover, this deity and the Dan river in Centeral Asia may have similar etymologies.

She is frequently seen as the mother of a mythical tribe, the *Deh₂newyóes, in many Indo-European cultures; these tribes are deduced from the Vedic Danavas, the Irish Tuatha Dé Danann, the Greek Danaoi, and the Norse Danes. Under Bel's leadership, this tribe is said to have fought a hero called *H₂nḗrtos, which could connect them to characters like the Norse god Njord, the Nart from the Nart saga, and Indra's epithet nrtama.

The reason I am, of course, not tossing Bres’ name into the ring is that we all know that (1) no one cares about Bres (but the Tumblr girlies) and (2) ...Bres IS a babygirl and a girlboss, but he is most importantly a meow meow.

#it is vital to understand that Bres is both wet and scrunkly #I maintain that CMT reads better if you just read all of Bres' lines in the Miette voice #'you....dethrone Bres? You toss Bres away like the chopped liver? Oh jail for Tuatha Dé! Jail for Tuatha Dé for one thousand years!'

So, started playing King Arthur: Knight's Tale.

Gotta admit, the portrayal of the Battle of Camlann is badass, and as someone who devoted a not-insubstantial amount of his time to their previous King Arthur games as a kid, I'm really excited to see what this one does.

#king arthur #king arthur: knight's tale #arthurian legend #granted I know I'm going to be annoyed just by reading a few quick character bios #The Lady of the Lake is a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann for one which is part of the same issue I had with the previous games #which used 'Irish Pagan' as a synonym for 'Pagan' despite Ireland maybe not even existing in this world #and given that I bet you anything the Fomorians are going to be involved in the Befuckening #but also hey Neocore had possibly my favourite video-game version of Morgan in King Arthur 2 so I'm excited for that at least #Youtube

hell my music playlist just wrecked me with Epic iii and then suddenly I hear the first few notes of An Toll Dubh.. shoutout to Runrig for making the most heart wrenching songs.

#I have no chance of ever fully learning the intrinsics of Gaelic but 2 of my dream uni courses are Celtic language focused #I’ll probably specialise in Welsh more but I hope that I do pick up enough proficiency in Gaeilge and Gaelic to read the Tuatha Dé Danann #and of course also understand some Runrig songs #Runrig #“It’s really important… that we keep singing… keep playing- keep performing the Gaelic songs”#o7

Peadar O’Guilin’s brutal novel ‘The Call’ is set in an apocalyptic version of Ireland, where the country has been closed off from the world by supernatural means, with no one able to enter, or leave. The unfortunate number who remain are slowly being whittled down, stolen away by the chilling Daoine Sídhe – the fairies of Irish legend.

At fourteen, protagonist Nessa has a one is ten chance of making it to adulthood – most assume her odds will be even lower after an unfortunate resurgence of Polio in her childhood left her legs damaged. But Nessa is determined to survive the Call, which snatches adolescents away to the realm of the fairies, where most will find themselves dead at the hands of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
