#Hill of tara

Cormac, High King of Ireland, and Eithne Taebfada.

Cormac mac Airt was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He is said to have ruled from Tara, the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, for forty years, and under his rule, Tara flourished.

According to the saga "The Melody of the House of Buchet", Cormac married Eithne Táebfada, daughter of Cathaír Mór (according to Lebor Gabála Érenn, a High King of Ireland) and foster-daughter of Buchet, a wealthy cattle-lord from Leinster whose hospitality was so exploited that he was reduced to poverty.

Hill of Tara - Ireland

Tara of the Kings

Smoking joints in the trenches surrounding Tara Barring Yank crowds and cawing crows no sounds Snakeless pre and post-Patrick, Catholic mythmaker Using shamrocks to illustrate Christian hat tricks Patron saint of patience waiting on eighths High samhraidh on Tara’s hills, Dowth-surrounded Bizzarre visions, ancestral visitations, cognitive invasions Solar placement, erection without…

Going to do the bulk of today's photo uploads in the afternoon, but here's some from the Hill of Tara to start us off. Even if you're not particularly read-up on Irish history, you may recognise the name from Artemis Fowl.

It's mostly earthworks, but there is a little standing stone (the Lia Fáil), what looks like someone's gravestone next to it (it's in Irish, so I'm not sure what it actually says), and a burial cairn called the Mound of the Hostages with some interesting carvings in the entrance passage.

I think they maybe need to put up some new information boards. They're looking a bit sun-bleached.

History Always Rhymes

I’ve been informed lately, And I cannot understand, Why someone who lives in England, Wants to put me off my land! So I gotta write about it, And put it in a poem, Why should that English person want, To evict me from my home? (more���)

So there’s the whole joke about Gale having a six pack despite being cooped up in a tower for so long but all I can think of is that Tara ran some pretty mean spin classes, complete with a little sweatband around her head as she put Gale through his paces.

“Keep going Mister Dekarios! Did I say stop? Feel that burn!”

"Yet the serene half-light over Tara's well-kept acres brought a measure of quiet to her disturbed mind."

sometimes, when im really in the mood for an AU- i think up a world that is slightly to the left. because really, we know how competent theo is. we can guess that he's done what he tried to do in cannon before and succeeded. followed orders, whatever. but maybe he's tired of it by now, and maybe he doesnt lose dilibrately but, well. maybe he didnt give it his all, you know?

Uberhood (119) - Viejo -> Martin

Samantha & Faline Kat playing with each other. 🐱

Yet another death in my Uberhood. This time it hit Catherine Viejo.

R.I.P. Catherine Viejo! Due to her death, and her being the last existing sim with the last name Viejo, the household name has been changed to Martin.

Just a few days after Catherine's passing, Tara's cat Mickey, passed away as well. Annoyingly it's been the same phenomenon that occured at the Jocques once, where I didn't notice the pet passed away until I saw the urn. <.<

Nonetheless, we'll end this post, and this whole round for that matter, on a positive note: Tara and Andrew are expecting their first child together! 👶🏻

i know that all the wiki pages and google results say that the dread doctors chose theo because he "showed sociopathic traits," or whatever, but i genuinely believe it was the exact opposite, and they chose him because he looked weak and easy to manipulate
