#CRÁS!

[thethirdromana]

I finished watching Crá yesterday and now I need to try to persuade as much of tumblr as possible to watch it too.

It's an Irish-language murder mystery TV series set in Donegal, though it's subtitled in English, so you don't need Irish to follow it. It's not a cheerful series - Crá translates to torment - and nearly every single character is in some way corrupt, compromised or morally grey. But it's extremely well-produced, it's gripping, it has an utterly stunning soundtrack (by a Breton composer!) and it's visually gorgeous:

This is the first ever Irish-language TV show to get a primetime slot in Northern Ireland. And I would utterly love for the BBC to invest in more of this kind of thing (it's a BBC/TG4 coproduction). So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please help make it a success!

Crá — BBC releases pictures for new crime drama

Crá — BBC releases pictures for new crime drama

The BBC has released first look pictures for new crime drama Crá. Filmed on location in County Donegal, the Irish language series is coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC Northern Ireland. It stars Dónall Ó Héalai, Alex Murphy and newcomer Hannah Brady. In an isolated village in the north west of Ireland, a murder investigation begins when Garda Barry Roche (Alex Murphy) finds a body buried in the bog.…

“Crá” s1e3 (2024)

Better than episode two as the pace picks up and we get a lot of new info. Final scene is something I've been waiting on, and turns the spotlight of suspicion onto someone I've suspected was involved from the start.

I admire the way the show is making the protagonist suspect himself.

9/10

Explanation of Signs/Prophecies/Etc. Below the Cut (First in Irish, then in English) Should be stated that I do not speak for the artists, and I am an independent body stating my own opinions and interpretations as given to me through my sources and this no way reflects the opinions or beliefs of the artists collected here.

Explanations in Irish

Tá Doe ag tabhairt aire do thús nua agus duine nua ag an nasc teann idir sinn Má ní tharraingím mé féin le chéile, d'fhéadfadh gach rud a bheith briste.

Féach amach don béal Dé Tá ocras air agus tá sé feargach Bí cúramach le daoine amadacha a bhfuil teachtaireachtaí acu - bain amach cé atá díot féin a mheas (Mar dhea, níor dhéanadh Doe riamh é sin éasca)

Tá na Marbh ag déanamh a gcuid ullmhúcháin.

Tuilleadh rabhaidh faoi bhéal Dé agus teachtaireachtaí bréagacha. Chomh maith le rabhaidh faoi bhéal na marbh.

Tuilleadh rabhaidh fós faoi na mairbh…

Bhí tú i gcónaí ar lámh chlé Dé, cén fáth ar cheart é sin a athrú anois? (Ná téigh os cionn do stáisiúin. Ná bíodh leisce ort a bheith i ngrá leat. Ná bíodh leisce ort a chreidiúint go bhfuil sé indéanta.)

Cuimhnigh nuair a ghearr Dia do sciatháin? Cuimhnigh nuair a thit agus thit agus thit tú? Ná leomh iarracht a eitilt anois.

Ná smaoinigh ar na leanaí roimhe seo - ná bí ag brionglóid orthu anois - leis an Tiarna, tá siad leis an Tiarna, níos fearr ná mar a bheadh ​​​​siad riamh ar an Domhan. Fanann tú liom. Fanann tú le Doe.

Tá an sagart ag faire. Ach tá Meisias níos fíre. Is é an Meisias an geall is sábháilte agus is cinnte. Guigh ar a son. Guigh air. Fan le haghaidh revelation. Creideamh os cionn creideamh - pian os cionn crá - tabharfar luach saothair do ghrá, mar a bheidh an fhírinne.

An teachtaireacht chéanna le 9

Tá a fhios agat cad atá tú. Bhí a fhios agat i gcónaí.

Tá tú freagrach as an tairseach. Is é do phost é.

Má osclaíonn tú an tairseach, fanann cochall na naomh ort. Chochall na naomh dírithe ar ghrá, adhradh, agus deabhóid.

Braitheann na hamlínte ortsa a bheith i lár na soiléireachta. Agus anois, tá siad lofa tríd agus tríd.

Cuimhnigh go bhfuil imoibriú dearfach ann do gach imoibriú diúltach - dorcha agus éadrom. Tá rud éigin amuigh ansin ag obair mar atá tú, ach tá sé tinn, agus caithfidh tú fanacht go maith.

Tuilleadh meabhrúcháin faoi na hamlínte agus na peirspictíochtaí iolracha. Eolas ginearálta maidir le fanacht dírithe agus bunaithe.

Tá taobh istigh na hEaglaise, an Chreidimh, an Chreidimh ionat tinn agus as ord. Tá siad ag casadh agus ag amhras agus ag ithe iad féin. Tá siad ag baint iad féin as corp Chríost.

Gardaí ort chun deireadh a chur leis an breoiteacht - an baol - na tinnis. Féachann sí i do chodladh thú agus ullmhaíonn sí d’intinn. Tá grá aici duit - tá grá ag Doe duit - agus coinneoidh sí slán thú.

Cén chuma a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ar olc uaireanta gurb é an leas is fíor agus is cumhachtaí atá ann – cé is mó atá ciaptha ná naomh nó fáidh? Cé a thugann níos mó maith?

Beidh scrios ann. Caithfidh tú do rúin a cheilt agus a choinneáil gar. Roinn ach an méid atá uait. Tú féin a chosaint. Coinnigh do domhan beag.

Ní éiríonn na hamlínte ar dhaoine eatarthu agus i bhfostú go contúirteach mura gcoinníonn tú do chloigeann díreach. Ná lig tú féin a bheith ar dhaoine eatarthu. Ná bíodh amhras ort faoi na comharthaí.

Explanations in English

Mostly, Doe is nursing a new beginning and new person at the tenuous connection between us and that if I don't pull my act together, well this might all just turn out to be incredibly fucked up--but hey, what's new about that...

Beware the mouth of God, it is hungry, and it is raging--beware fools bearing messages--know who you can trust. (As if Doe has ever made that easy...)

The Dead are making their preparations.

More warnings about the mouths of God and false messages--as well as the mouths of The Dead...

Even more warnings about the dead...

You've always been God's lefthand why should that change now (don't get above your station--don't dare to be loved--don't dare to believe it is possible)

Remember when God clipped your wings? Remember when you fell and fell and fell? Don't dare try to fly now

Don't think about the children from before--don't dare dream of them now--with the Lord, they are with the Lord, better than they'd ever be on Earth. Stay with me, stay with Doe.

The priest is watching--but Messiah is truer. Messiah is the safest and surest bet--pray for him, pray to him. Wait for the revelation. Faith above faith--ache above ache--love will be rewarded, as will truth.

Continuation of the same message as 9

You know what you are. You've always known.

You are responsible for the opening of that portal. It's your job.

If you open the portal, sainthood waits for you--sainthood centered around love, worship, and devotion.

The timelines depend on you to be the center of clarity, and right now they are rotten through and through

Remember for every negative reaction there is a positive reaction--dark and light--something is out there working as you, but it is sick--you must remain well.

More reminders about the timelines--multiple prospectives--general info on staying centered and grounded

The insides of the Church--The Faith--The Belief--of you are sick--are out of order, are turning and doubting and eating themselves--removing themselves....

Doe guards over you to remove the sickness--the danger--the illness. She watches in your sleep and preps your mind. She loves you--Doe loves you--and she will keep you safe.

What looks like evil can sometimes be the most genuine and powerful good there is--who is more harassed than a saint or a prophet? Who brings more good?

There will be destruction--you must hide and keep your secrets close. Share what only you must. Protect yourself. Keep your world small.

The timelines will only become dangerously confused and entangled if you do not keep your head on straight. Don't let yourself become confused. Don't let yourself doubt the signs.

[angelofthemornings]

Instead of moping or stressing out over my creative block I am going to turn my attention to other people's art and get around to finishing Crá

Fondly regarding Donegal (our Finn is from Donegal!) will cheer me up

(If a gritty crime drama that takes place in like November, the ugliest month, can't make a place look miserable then surely it's one of the most beautiful places in the world)

last song: Work is Easy, Life is Hard - The Wombats (look don't judge, their pop music goes surprisingly hard considering).

fav colour: I usually oscillate between blue or purple. I think today is more of a blue.

last book: unfinished, I was bought A Gremlin in the Works by @toenzy for Christmas. It's all about the history of Gremlin Graphics, a British games company during the 80s and 90s (they did last a bit longer but most of their recognisable titles are during these decades). Finished book is like years ago (doing a thesis babyyyyy), but it might genuinely be The Murderer's Ape, which is an excellent children's book. I'd recommend it to adults too. It's written from the perspective of an ape who's friend is wrongly convicted of murder and her subsequent adventures. There's something about the writing which really does make it feel like an ape has written it (without it relying on crass spelling/grammatical errors).

last movie: Predator or Die Hard probably, or maybe even Wallace and Gromit, Vengeance Most Foul. Christmas TV watching innit. We're going to go to Bristol on the 18th to watch a showing of Nosferatu with a live accompaniment by Stephen Horne, which I'm excited for. I love being able to see silent films with a proper accompaniment and I've not actually seen Nosferatu either!

last tv show: unfinished - Crá, which is an Irish crime drama almost entirely in the Gaelic language. It's interesting, I'm not a biiiig fan of the main character but it's still nice to watch something in Gaelic.

sweet/savory/spicy: Sweet.

relationship status: with @toenzy, we've been together almost 12 years now which is pretty neat.

last thing i searched: Checking on how you spell Gaelic for sure tbqh (I did not spell it correctly).

current obsession: I'm back on my League bullshit (don't @ me). I'll probably switch back to dota and other games soon enough, but currently it's scratching an itch and the games are mercifully short so I can sometimes do two in one break rather than play one dota game and be like 20 minutes over the amount of time I wanted to break for lmao. Season 2 of WoW might also grab me back, who knows.

looking forward to: I'm going away to a big meet up thing next weekend to see a load of dota people which should be good. I'm already deep in the anxiety about sparing these few days bc thesis needs more work, but I'm basically treating this as a birthday gift/break.

fav drink: it's still monster because I love sipping medicine, but I can't drink it any more because of how caffeine interferes with my ADHD meds. I drank a sugary coke last night and I'm still in regret.

song playing 24/7: there's too many to list here, but I feel like I can just write Kandy by Fever Ray. If you like queer techno, I'd very much recommend that song/entire album, it's a banger. The lead singer (Karin Dreijer) is non-binary, sings a lot about fucking women and in the video for this song is dressed in weird, old man drag and lap dances with themself in a different weird, old man drag. I will never stop trying to get people to listen to Fever Ray.

current fav character: In part, just because I'm writing so much about him, I think I have to select Alex Casey as played by Sam Lake (and voiced by James McCaffery) in Alan Wake II. The sheer level of meta play for this character alone is almost impossible to explain to those who don't know Max Payne or Alan Wake. Watching Sam Lake doing an entire musical number will never get old to me, and I'm so glad that he fulfilled essentially a lifelong dream in doing it (he wanted to from like 2012).

fun activity you would like to get into: Tbh, there's a lot of different things I'd love to start doing. Trying to find the energy to find one and keep doing it is real tough.

last video game: Technically it would be League, but discounting mobas and mmos, it'd be Tunic. I've heard incredible things about the game and I'm finding it a little tough to stick with atm, but I have a feeling that that is the point so I extra want to put in the effort. I also played Death's Door just before Tunic, which feels quite similar in a few ways and was very enjoyable. You play a little crow grim reaper. It felt a little short, but I've also not done some of the extra content as one of the few things I didn't enjoy about it was the lack of a map. I think it's also intended to be confusing and a sort of memory game (and possibly it might prevent people from realising that the maps are quite small in reality), but I'm not sure it was as successful.

last comic/graphic novel: Online is probably Ava's Demon, which is a beautiful comic that I'd recommend to most people but it does update only slowly so I've no idea if it'll actually be finished. IRL, I think it's either Electric Bones (gay robot space smut!) or possibly Black Hole (one of my favourite graphic novels written/illustrated by Charles Burns). It's a teen horror which is an analogy for STDs, where the teens who have sex start to develop horrifying mutations. It's surprisingly deep (where that explanation might make it sound quite surface level 'oooo sex = bad'), a fascinating read, and still relevant for teens today despite being written back in the 90s

tagging: @toenzy again hehe, @angelofsappho, and @anzozi-here. No pressure to actually do it! I'm mostly just thinking of some mutuals who enjoy my posts haha. If someone else following wants to do it, please feel free to consider this me tagging you in!

Uhm, just like took a nap and realized in the years I had this blog that I NEVER introduced myself in the slightest. So I’ll do that and pin it RQ, intro is under the cut. I will edit this a lot.

DNI: Age play blogs, people who like Sabrina carpenter, Lana, Taylor swift, and Chappell Roan or whatever the fuck their names are, “coquette” blogs, with questionable content, what I post is NOT FOR ANY OF YOU!…I try to keep my blog SFW imagery wise (but not language wise cause I cuss a lot) and mostly safe for minors to interact with these days, as I know there are many on here that enjoy EGL and J-fashion, but I post historical art and vent a lot so there will be dark and depressing text, possible dark reblogs, or old traumacore images on this blog.

THIS BLOG WILL HAVE POSSIBLE GORE OR ARTFUL NUDITY AND DARK CONTENT!

My name is Caelum or whatever people wanna call me or say since I don’t really care. Nonbinary, sexuality isn’t important. I really don’t care much about pronouns call me what you want. Not interested in stupid tumblr dating, don’t fucking DM me.

I have autism and pretty low empathy. I’m a bit oblivious or rude by accident, so sorry if I say something unintentionally.

I’m here for pretty art and bands that I like, along with lolita and decora fashion and other things I hyper fixate on. ADHD/AUTISM and depression with anxiety makes my life horrible, this is my one joy in life at this point. I’m in school for psychology/forensic psychology

Things I like:

EGL/lolita fashion, decora, kawaii fashion, yami-kawaii, Tenshi Kaiwai, Jirai-kei, and general otome and girly fashion💕

Band-wise: Dark Funeral, Crá, Morbid, and Mayhem along with other random stuff idk man. I like lots of other things, but there’s too much to talk about music-wise. I also like Vocaloid, especially Utsu-P.

Other misc stuff I like: Danmei (SVSS, MDZS, TGCF, 2HA) Metalocalypse, Hetalia, anime, donghua, C-drama.

That’s kinda it. Ask anything if you want, I’m a pretty weird person so yeah, I don’t have much else to say about myself.

O legado da icônica banda brasileira Mamonas Assassinas foi celebrado em grande estilo neste domingo (22), com casa cheia na Vibra São Paulo. Com o projeto Mamonas Assassinas O Legado, os fãs puderam reviver os grandes sucessos do grupo original, relembrar memórias e se emocionar com a energia contagiante dos novos integrantes. Iniciando o espetáculo com uma explosão de luzes e acordes poderosos, a banda cativou o público desde o primeiro momento. Com performances impecáveis e uma execução primorosa, Ruy Brissac nos vocais, Beto Hinoto na guitarra, Nelson Bonfim no teclado, Willian Falanque na bateria e Lucas Theis no baixo mostraram-se dignos herdeiros do talento irreverente dos integrantes originais. "Pelados em Santos", "Vira-Vira", "Robocop Gay", "Sabão Crá Crá" foram alguns dos sucessos que animaram a noite. Além das músicas que marcaram gerações, o show contou com participações especiais de familiares dos membros da banda original, que emocionaram a plateia. O elenco do filme "Mamonas Assassinas - O Impossível Não Existe" também se fez presente, celebrando e honrando a memória dos músicos que conquistaram o coração de milhares de brasileiros. Uma grande atração da noite foi a exclusiva exposição de itens originais, que transportou os espectadores para a época áurea do quinteto paulista. Figurinos, instrumentos musicais, fotografias e objetos pessoais dos integrantes estavam expostos, mas o grande destaque foi a famosa Brasília Amarela, utilizada no icônico clipe desse grande sucesso da banda. Ao final do espetáculo, os aplausos fervorosos e as palavras de agradecimento demonstraram o carinho e a admiração que o público ainda guarda pelo legado dos Mamonas Assassinas. O evento provou que a música e a alegria são capazes de transcender o tempo, e ainda deram spoilers de que rodarão o Brasil com uma turnê pelas cidades como Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Salvador, Goiânia, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Recife, e muito mais.

“Crá” s1e2 (2024)

Episode 2 slows down the story development a little to focus on the grief and anger of the protagonist and his father.

A major character enters the story, and we learn more about the week-end of the murder.

The rural setting continues to be a major attraction.

DÉCIMA DEL CRÁ

Para ser feliz, solo debes entender que lo que temes no es crecer sino ser siempre aprendiz.

Y sigue aqui, en mi nariz comprendiendo que mi ser no solamente es ver sino acercame a la matriz.

Donde el madero se hizo triz, ¡dondé la décime fue infiel!
