what are your thoughts on your religion stealing every single one of its holidays from pagans? xo
That in order to relieve themselves of guilt and discomfort, white people create and believe narratives that deprive their European ancestors of any autonomy whatsoever. Casting their ancestors as victims of the church rather than active participants.
#three things to keep in mind:#1 a lot of christianization was peaceful in europe. my german and irish ancestors willingly converted.#european christianization was nothing like the colonization of the americas (as supported by the church)#2 most supposedly ''pagan'' traditions reach back maybe reach back to the middle ages. long after christianization happened#so most ''pagan'' traditions are really just folk beliefs created and maintained by christians#(there really wasn't a huge distinguishment between ''pagan'' and ''christian'' most of the time)#3 most of these narratives about the church stealing from paganism comes from puritans and victorians#who both uhhh literally loved to make up history

very uninformed prev anon here, what are the English lies?
Don't worry a lot of people have fallen for this including some Irish so I'll explain - the myth is the Irish love potatoes so much that they died when the potato crop started failing and the poor Irish didn't have anything else to eat bc all their stock were in their beloved potatoes
The truth is the Irish had other food but the English took it only leaving the Irish with potatoes, the truth is the english had stole all the irish land and rented them back small plots that were only big enough to grow potatoes on, the truth is the corn laws which I don't have time to go into right now, then years later instead of admitting what they did English people make the joke that the Irish just love potatoes which is a very cruel joke if you think about it "Those Irish sure do love potatoes" says the people forcing the Irish to only eat potatoes
#ask#anon#sorry anon for making you fall for my trap and surprise irish history lesson#but you know#im the one that did the histort alevel#and learnt about the last 200 years of Irish history#and also yes i am currently making potatoes#so i need to make my ancestors proud by spreading the truth

The way people post about it on here has me putting homestuck on the same level as like the bible wrt cultural impact and analytical abundance. It's not a piece of work to me it's The Bible 2: This One Has Nepeta In It
#no way to say it other than that. im not religious but yknow. irish#and in my mind its on that level of importance. to me. i still havent gotten past like whenever the ancestor exposition started

WAIT ITS NOT NORMAL TO BE ABLE TO TRAVERSE TUNNELS WITH EXTREME EASE?!
This bitch had to find out by three dumbass teens getting lost and me returning them to their hysterical parents. Apparently they've been lost for a week.
If y'all wanna explore. LET PEOPLE KNOW. You may not find a Nice little half fae like me.
Also I may have had to resist just keeping them. Fae adoption is apparently a instinct thing. Huh.

the straits are not Dire dire, we will be able to get groceries tomorrow, but it really is so funny to me that on thanksgiving and the day after the food in my household has been: 1. a half loaf of rye bread, 2. some hard cheese, 3. a single potato. I am on that victorian peasant type of poverty. it is the time of harvest and I have naught but a potato to my name.
#my irish potato farmer ancestors patting me on the shoulder saying 'there there it happens to the best of us'#marina marvels at life

i saw a video of some protests in the uk earlier surrounding the whole fuckery with the royal family and . that island cannot be real like the main chant was “not our king”?? like?? babes im so sorry to tell u. but. u dont usually get to pick ur king thats kind of the point of the system???
#anyways as an irish american i am watching with bated breath#dozens of ancestors waiting for hundreds of years#every bone in my body#every beat of my heart#every atom of every cell genetically engineered for this moment#may the sun finally set on the british empire for the last time

hey Andrew why isn't the Gaeilge section in De Selby (Part 1) longer. do you have an explanation for that
#hozier#ik it starts at around 2:25 or so and just keeps building you don't get it. that takes me out of my body all of my Irish ancestors#regardless of why they are there come crawling out of their graves why isn't it longer. just when i think it won't end it f*cking ends#ykw do me one better i need an EP entirely in Gaeilge. add translations if you have to but bring back the butchered tongues!!!!
