I Can't Stop Mentally Comparing Tadmore To The Macbeths Guys Help Me

Ford has gotten too used to talking to himself and not at all used to other people being around to hear it

Bonus:

Studying Irish myth and folklore is all fun and games until you find out pretty much all record of the roots of this shit was either lost, destroyed by the Christian churches that took over, or destroyed by the English. Which means trying to write literally any paper for class means digging for hours trying to find any credible source on the pre-Christian myths and finding the grand total of three surviving paragraphs on the thing you need. Head in my hands.

Irish language things

One of the many things I find interesting about Irish is that we have no word for yes or no. There are a few languages like this in which you echo back the question as a response.

So in English if you are asking “Did you buy ___?”.

You could reply with “I did buy ___”, but that’s quite formal and nobody would really say that. So you can simply reply with “yes/ no”.

But in Irish if you ask the same thing “Ar cheannaigh tú ___?”.

You can only reply with “Cheannaigh mé/ Níor cheannaigh mé ___”. Meaning I did buy/ I didn’t buy ___.

Young Irish speakers try to get away with using “Tá” or “Sea” as a universal yes and “Níl” as a universal no. But this is incorrect and drives older Irish speakers/ teachers mad. So don’t use them in your orals!

Most people do shorten things by just saying “Cheannaigh/ Níor cheannaigh” and not echoing back the whole sentence of what you did/ didn’t buy.

But yeah it’s just another one of those interesting linguistic things that can’t be fully translated to English. And it actually causes problem for people in school learning Irish because we try to translate what we’re thinking in English onto the paper.

Gotta love the English colonialism still affecting us to this day!

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

As the irish friend who had the Jonah hating headcannon I wanna say ur post abt Irish Jonah is really interesting and cool

My friend's headcanon of Jonah Magnus (and by extension, Elias) hating Irish people is so ingrained into my mind that I actually thought it was real and spent ages thralling through the wiki to fact check it

actually, frankenstein is the name of the scientist. the horrible emo monster nobody wants to fucking talk to is named lord byron

thinking about them

*dialogue credits aren’t mine !! I saw this somewhere but I can’t remember where I’m sorry 😭
