I am absolutely disgusted to learn that crown owns our castles and the profits are sent to Westminster. Wales is struggling, our economy is struggling, our people are struggling, our health services are struggling, and that money could go to the betterment of our lives - instead it goes to England.
despite the fact we maintain the castles and land, we don't own them. they are in OUR country. ownership should belong to us, the people who built them. we maintain them. we work in them. theyre ours and we should be able to use the profits generated by them to help welsh people, not allow the money be funnelled into the monarchy.
the fact the crown owns so much of wales is such an outdated and medieval concept and has no place in modern society.
petition here:
please sign. I am disgusted.

Welsh Folklore
Black cats, often considered banes and the companions of dark entities elsewhere, are welcomed in Wales as felicitous granters of bright fortune and good health.
"Cath ddu, mi glywais dd'wedyd,/ A fedr swyno hefyd,/ A chadw'r teulu lle mae'n byw/O afael pob rhyw glefyd."
"A black cat, I've heard it said,/ Can charm all ill away,/ And keep the house wherein she dwells/ From fever's deadly sway."
- Welsh folk-lore: a collection of the folk-tales and legends of North Wales by Elias Owen, 1896

If you are not WELSH you CANNOT use the word ‘Hiraeth’. I am Welsh, and I am telling you that the fact that non-Welsh people are taking this word, throwing it around like it’s nothing and turning it into some fucking aesthetic is deeply offensive and incredibly disrespectful.
Hiraeth does not have an English translation because it is not meant for English people.
The English were the ones who colonised us, stamped all over our culture, beat our language out of us and Hiraeth is a type of grief, scorn, rage and longing for the Wales that could have been.
Hiraeth is the grief we feel when we have to learn our own language instead of speaking it naturally because generations before us were punished for speaking Welsh.
Hiraeth is the rage we feel when we leave Wales and have our accents made fun of, when we are ‘corrected’ on our pronunciations of English words, when we are stereotyped as being ‘uneducated working class scum’.
Hiraeth is the sadness we feel when we realise that we know very little about our own history, our own pantheon, our own traditions.
And finally, Hiraeth is the scorn we feel in the modern day when yet again, someone is trying to take something of ours away from us and appropriate it into their aesthetic.
Hiraeth burns like a fire in all of us whether we want it to or not.
Hiraeth is for those Welsh children who were minding their own business only to have their English classmates bully it out of them. It’s for the Welsh speakers who get told by the English - IN THEIR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY - to “stop speaking that foreign muck”. Hiraeth is for the Welsh people who have been conditioned to be so ashamed of their nationality and culture that they mask it all with an English accent to fit in and avoid conflict. Hiraeth is for people like me, who had to learn what should have been their mother-tongue.
If you think you can use ‘Hiraeth’ without being Welsh, without growing up in Wales and experiencing this… I can very confidently and not very politely advise you to fuck yourself bloody.

Small tattoo flash from my WIP tattoo guide for the Cymric (‘Not Another F***ing Dragon!’ A booklet for those sick of dragon, rugby ball and three feathers motifs, because Welsh culture is so much more!) ; roebuck, lapwing and puppy.
The inspiration for this sheet is from the tale leading up to the Cad Goddeu (Battle of the Trees), wherein Amaethon steals a Roebuck, Lapwing and a Dog from Arawn, King of Annwn.
PLEASE DO NOT REPOST, RE-UPLOAD OR EDIT, THIS IS MY ART AND IT IS FOR MY FINAL YEAR OF UNIVERSITY, I AM BEGGING YOU.

Seeing the state of the UK government as of right now, i dont think Wales or Scotland are gonna be able to survive under Englands rule for much longer.
Nothing our representative's say or do will ever amount to anything significant because of how outnumbered we are within the government. Why should a bunch of English bastards who have never known what its like to live in our valleys get to decide whats best for us? They dont even know us and they dont want to. Boris Johnson was never your friend and neither is any other politician they elect to replace him.
The Tory government has historically cost Wales its history, land and culture when they take away our jobs without providing alternatives and flood our villages to supply their own countrys with water.
The only way for us to run our respective countries the way the people actually want is to vote for our independence.
