My auntie keeps Golden Guernsey goats on our island, like many of our local unique breeds of livestock they nearly went extinct in the starving during ww2 occupation surviving by only one smuggled flock. They're super friendly and energetic and their colouration might be of interest :eyes:

Oh OH these are very pretty

#it's extremely cool and admirable that your aunt is helping to preserve a rare heritage breed of livestock #these goats are gorgeous #wonderful caramel colors #they look highly pettable #answered #anonymous #also this is beside the point but a few years back I was really interested in the history and cultures of the Channel Islands Isle of Man #and the archipelagos of Scotland #I remember thinking that I've never interacted with anyone who lives in any of those places at least to my knowledge #and my chances of coming across someone organically are fairly low so I probably never will #maybe it's weird to say but I just think it's terribly neat that there's at least one Channel Islander in existence who has seen my art

Me when i first saw Hooty : Does this mean every other house in the Boiling Isles has something like Hooty?

Almost every character @ Hooty : What the fuck is that!?

#toh #the owl house #i said this before #Eda is our main source of how living on the Boiling Isles is like but she is a weirdo in her own world

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

#I feel like general ire towards (particularly) colonial Christianity has informed how people think of and view anything that is associated #with Christianity - and ire towards some of the ills committed in the name of Christianity is very valid actually #but what it isn't is approaching any text written in a Christian context and immediately disregarding it for having anything unique or #insightful to say. And in a Celtic languages context #this can be especially othering and almost fetishistic of an imagined pagan Ireland and Wales which was 'covered up' by Christianity #and that desire for people outside of Ireland and Wales to impose a kind of 'pagan faerie culture' onto the modern countries directly feeds #into false depictions of Ireland and Wales as 'lost in time' or as magical places full of latent pagan culture &c. which can be really #damaging in its own way against people who live in Wales or Ireland or who speak Welsh or Irish #this goes for other Celtic speaking nations too like Scotland Brittany Isle of Man and Cornwall #But Wales and Ireland tend to be the most focused on for this kind of treatment #luke's originals #Welsh #Wales #Cymblr #Irish #Ireland #welsh mythology #irish mythology #irish literature #welsh literature #Arthurian legends #arthurian literature

Remember when the Audrey villain leaks came out and then we saw the offical c4 and s3 outfit reveals and saw the c4 on the isle and the s3 in an auradon forest and we all thought there had been some sort of time spell where Audrey twisted time and instead of the c4 coming to Auradon it was the s3 so Audrey stayed with Ben and there was a whole adventue to fix the timeline? no? just me? okay

#i remember the theories they were so interesting #like how dr. Facilier ran an underground motorrace and the vks had to race to get the key to Hades lair #and we all thought Harry and Gil had dyed their hair blue becuase that reveal photo of the s3 looked so odd for Harry's hair lighting and i #looked blue #and we all thought Audrey had gone to a wishing well like in ouat and had cast a time spell and the vks had to work together to get their #timeline back #Uma #Mal and Audrey and Hades are the only ones who remember the last timeline #aka demi-gods #person who cast the spell #and god #and Mal goes to see Hades and confronts him cuz hes a god and might know where cronos sundial is so she can get her timeline back #but she also notices alto of the isle is-way better than what she and her friends had done?? theres fresh food-no one is wearing ratty old #clothes that were trash from auradon #the air is better #and theres no propagana pictures #Mal asks-not so descretly-what happened and Hades just goes 'uma.'#Uma made it her whole ass mission to make the isle a better place in gernal becuase even if they're steadely getting kids off-its still a #really bad place and-ya know-HUMAN RIGHTS #Ben is very supportive and the isle becomes less an inhumane prison and more just a isle of solitude where the villains live without magic #the barrier was edited personally by FG and Uma to allow fresh air and water in and out of the isle becuase it was really fucked up that #once ANYTHING gets in it cant go out so the isle waters were really really poluted and bad and FG was like- "how did i not know it was this #bad!?“ and uma is just like ”....really?“#anyway i have feelings about the fandoms old theories about d3 #anyway Mal goes through teh deliema of either going back to her timeline where the isle is still really bad but shes happy or #stay in the timeline where the isle is much better but she's still stuck and not with Ben/becoming queen #so she has the same choice in this alt timeine that she gets in d3 but its much more-just on her-becuase she knows Uma wont twist back #the timeline-shes happy #Harry and Gil are happy-lots of kids are already off the isle #and Ben looks happy too...hopefully

genuinely disappointed by natlan character designs, on top of being colourist/racist to repeatedly exclude darker skin tones on everyone but enemies, it also just doesn't make sense for the region like "immersive storytelling" why the fuck is that twink reflecting 200,000 lumens off his skin when he lives in a region based off south america/africa not only does it break the suspension of disbelief but I also can't see my screen because his skin glare is vaporising my retinas

#i also hate that “oh but people from those places can be pale!” excuse because yeah people can be pale buf not fucking all of them #my bloodline has never left the british isles and my skin tone is darker than all “tan” characters minus candace #im the pastiest bitch alive you can see all of my veins and my skin isnt as white as genshin characters #bue waffling #genshin impact #natlan #oh and that “pale bc they live in the jungle area” excuse for sumeru is bs too #look up native amazonians they're so much more tan than the bleach paper white sumeru characters are #it bugs me because the LED whiteness of them throws me off like they're so pale they look uncanny

Sometimes it can be really rough, but I believe if we love one another more, we can help to share the burdens and make the world a better place.

Be emo with me for a second

Ghosts are a thing on the Boiling Isles

That could include palisman

Imagine, when Hunter passes on, the first thing he feels is something tugging at his hair

And then he hears Flapjack and he can still understand what he's saying

And- under the idea that Flap has very bird-like speech- it's just "Hello! Love you! Love you! Missed you!"

And Hunter just breaks down in happy tears because he finally has his best friend back

#i like to imagine that everyone will still be united in the afterlife #this is so much sadder when you consider palismen live until killed so everyone else would have to wait for their palisman to die #but maybe ghosts can still talk to the living so they can talk the their palisman sometimes theyre just not on the same plane?#idk i just want them to be happy #toh #hunter the owl house #the owl house #toh hunter #hunter noceda #hunter toh #flapjack #toh flapjack #flapjack toh #the boiling isles #boiling isles #sad boi hours #im breaking down just thinking about this gimme a sec

What a great day to remember that Luz loves her mom so much that she would always chose her over the world

#toh #the owl house #luz noceda #camila noceda #no you don't get it #luz was living her dream in the boiling isles #and probably would've lived there for the rest of her life #if she didn't love her mom #listen to me #luz fought to live in a world that rejected her because it was the world her mom lived in #camila means more than the world to luz and it shows #and i love them
