hey, all! this is a question for everyone--what's your ideal future post-aguefort look like?

G: If I'm lucky, they'll let me transfer back to Mumple before we even get to graduation.

P: 'They' as in the school board? I'm sure they'd be glad to have you transfer back — we had a hell of a time trying to get you enrolled here in the first place.

G: Oh, no. I didn't mean the school board. I meant you guys.

@caelmewedd asked: A little elven girl was happily playing in the forest with her beloved dragon, Nevermore, who was no ordinary beast. She was wicked friendly and acted more like a puppy than a dragon, considered by many to be a symbol of chaos and destruction. After a long game, the girl sat down under a tree next to a basket full of her favorite food standing on the grass and started enjoy a fresh cheesecake, and the small dragon helped herself to dragon fruits, which she loved so much. When they both heard someone coming, the elf and dragon raised their heads and looked at the unknown man. The little girl waved gently at him, looking at the stranger with her cheeks stuffed from chewing cheesecake.

Grief had driven Boromir to the grave of his mother. Roses and lilacs and marigolds bloomed around her lifelike statue, the small burial sight dedicated to her and her alone. Denethor had demanded it. Called for the greatest of sculptors to capture her face - stone so pristine it copied pearls - fashioned the forest just outside of Minas Tirith for the sake of his lost bride. Finduilas would not be bothered among the trees. Returned to a time of peace when threat was not so close to her; family the most important thing in her life. Just as it was when he was still a boy, from his mother did Boromir find comfort. Love, the gentle touch of her hand to his hair, brushing through the strands, hope. Fingertips roaming against her carved visage, smooth when graced over her cheeks, her lips, the slight curve of a smile, faith was restored in Boromir. Troubles gone, the fear and anxiety, Mordor a secondary thought, with a kiss to Finduilas' statue did he finally depart, her cheek cold, a lackluster comparison.

Back from where he first came, into the woods did Boromir travel. Past the small stream that separated a steep hill, over the rocks and pebbles that remained of a once prestigious tower of Gondor, a history so far passed and almost forgotten. Slithering between elder oaks, when the flora opened into a wider span of space, Boromir was left speechless at what he discovered. A small child and a dragon - one born of Elven kind and the other of beast. Wonderful companions, so they seemed as they sat together, enjoyed treats and foraged fruits not native to the kingdom, perfectly content. Knife nearly taken from its sheath on his belt, Boromir worried for the safety of the child and her being so near an unknown dragon, something made his fingers still in their retrieval. A whisper in the wind that sounded like a voice once heard years before; affectionate and sweet and able to soothe the woes away.

Stepping to her as he waved, too, Boromir sank to her level on the grass, gray irises inspecting and studying. Legend had become very real. And reality was bound to become legend.

"Hello there." Boromir began. "My, are you lost, sweetheart? Where is your family? Your mother? Your father? Are you... all alone out in this wilderness? That dragon, has she hurt you? Or should I think more likely she's your friend? You do seem to be good friends. Very good friends. That is a beautiful thing."

Boromir continued, sitting, then, crossed legged, relaxed but unable to leave the little one yet. "Would that be alright if I joined you for a bit? I am quite tired from my walk in these woods, and would very much appreciate your company. My name is Boromir. What might your name be, little one?"

Y Hen Llinge and all that: Welsh in The Witcher Series (glossary)

This post is largely my GDrive notes on this subject, but I am a Welsh speaker and have noticed Welsh cropping up a lot in the Witcher series. I'm going to go into a few examples in this post- a word of warning though, there may be spoilers, which I'll mark with a SPOILER WARNING.

The Wiki List:

The wiki contains a glossary of Hen Llinge words alongside their real-world inspirations. Hen Llinge isn't based on Welsh alone, but also Irish, German, English and Latin (among others). The list on the wiki has the following terms marked down as being inspired by Welsh (which I have compiled):

abb (rivermouth), w. Aber

aevon (river) w. Afon

aep (son of) w. Ap

ar (of/on/by) w. Ar

ban (peak/summit) w. Ban (sometimes Fan)

bleidd (wolf) w. Blaidd

breoga (frog) w. Broga

caed (woods) w. Coed

caer/kaer (fortress) w. Caer

col (mountainpass) w. Dol

conyn (plantstalk) w. Coesyn

craag (rocks) w. Crag

darganfod (discovery) w. Darganfod

darl’len (read) w. Darllen

dhu (black) w. Du

dol (valley/dale) w. Dôl

gláeddyv (sword) w. Cleddyf

glean (bottom) w. Glan

gwyn (white) w. Gwyn

gwynbleidd (white wolf) w. Blaidd Gwyn

gwent (wind) w. Gwynt

hen (old) w. Hen

holl (all) w. Holl

marw (to die) w. Marw

ninnau (ourselves) w. Ninnau

pont (bridge) w. Pont

stráede (road) w. Stryd

tir (land) w. Tir

tor (tower) w. Twr

uniade (a joining (n.) w. Uniad

wen (white) w. -wen

ymladda (fight) w. Ymlad

The terms in the wiki are terms created for the TV series- the terms created for the books and games are similar, but the TV lexicon is much more expanded than the book and game corpuses.

Words on the Wiki not labelled as Welsh:

These terms are on the wiki but have no origin listed. I believe they likely have Welsh inspiration (especially the last one):

ghar (word) w. Gair 

inis (island) w. Ynys (see also: Irish)

ysgarthiad (shit, excreted waste) w. Ysgarthiad

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

These terms are terms I have heard in the dialogue or seen in-game in Wild Hunt. They are not included in the wiki as they are game terms. They are also only possibly inspired by Welsh as I am not a dev, so I cannot be certain, however, I have chosen the ones I feel are likely inspired by Welsh in at least some capacity.

(SPOILER WARNING: references to Witcher 3 Characters and actions central to plot ahead!)

mor (very/how/as) w. Mor (from location Caer Morhen)

aval (apple) w. Afal (from personal name Aval’lach) 

caniatad (permission) w. Caniatâd (from the spell that transforms Aval’lach back to elf, 14:27)

nevid (change) w. Newid (from the spell that transforms Aval’lach back to elf, 14:27)

cyvir (correct) w. Cywir (from the spell that transforms Aval’lach back to elf, 14:27)

taron (thunder) w. Taran (from the spell that transforms Aval’lach back to elf, 14:27)

caeffyl (horse) w. Ceffyl (from the spell by Kiera Metz to transform white mice into white horses, 3:40)

mab (young man/son) w. Mab (from “Aen N'og Mab Taedh'morc”)

cor (choir) w. Côr (potentially a match, from “Aen N'og Mab Taedh'morc”)

me (me/ I) w. Mi (potentially a match, from “Aen N'og Mab Taedh'morc”)

y (the) w. Y (from location Aevon y Pont ar Gwennelen)

carraigh (rock) w. Carreg (from location Ard Carraigh) 

llygad (eye) w. Llygad (from location Seidhe Llygad) 

ess'tedd (meeting/to sit and meet) w. Eistedd (from “Darl'len, Aen Seidhe!”)

dol (valley) w. dol (from location name “Dol Niev’de”

niev (nine) w. nief (heaven) (from location name “Dol Niev’de”

This is just a glossary of terms for now- I plan to write a proper post about in-game texts at some point (though I am very busy right now with undergrad). I hope you enjoy this first segment at least! Let me know what you think about Welsh in games/media.

Tagging a few folks who might enjoy this post because some of the Welsh is straight up not changed. I found it quite funny in the magic spell cutscenes because I understood every word. Looking at you Keira Metz saying 'tair caeffyl gwyn' to summon 3 white horses!!!

~♪birds are silent for the night...♪~ A woman in a black cloak meets a man in a white cloak by the lakeside ~♪cows turned in as daylight dies♪~ the woman disrobed and snarled launching herself at the man who deflected her advances at the last second with a hit from his shepherd's cane, it burned her, the spell revealing her monstrous visage, a Bruxa ~fearing all manner of ghouls hags and wraiths.

~♪but one soul lies anxious wide awake♪~ The Bruxa banished and the mage spun his cane hitting the ground and creating a field, the Bruza's vampiric tricks would prove useless she could not merge with the night no more... ~♪fearing all manner of ghouls hags and wraiths♪~ "aevon folie!" the mage raised his cane swinging it once in the air, the bruxa launched at blinding speed but just before her claws could reach the neck of the mage she was taken away by a stream of water from the lake it rose into the air before slamming her down hard into the ground. The water burned the higher vampire twisting in pain as if she had been doused in boiling water, soon enough she was dead.

'Where the hell did that damn Bruxa go to?'

Geralt of Rivia lost sight of the monster, wondering where she went. He was about to behead her before she could try attacking him but ended up leaving. Now, here he was looking around for him but feels if she fled. As he was about to move, he heard something near by of a familiar tone.

That had to be her! Being quick, he hurries over to get to the location seeing some movement. He sees the bruxa and it was attacking someone! Before reacting to attack, it seems the other or a mage it seems took care of the beast with a stream of water that was burning her in boiling water. Once that was done, he sees she was dead seconds later.

' Are you hurt? ' (Aevon)

Selena turned to look over at him. She was panting, tar dripping off her armor and the dual blades in her hands. "Get out of here. Now." Selena told him as she stood up. "GO NOW!"

From the black fog surronding the weapon storage. A large black spear, easily 3x the size of Aevon pierced through the air, sending out streaks of tar and oil falling to the ground. A massive claw scratched across the stone of where the two standed, Selena pushing Aevon out of the way as the claw sent her flying. "R-run!"

where does hallarial live?? is her father still running kai lumunura? is she on her own in elmville?

L: Hallariel's place is the best, man. Huge, no adults, endless cashflow! Well, endless for her. She can be pretty stingy.

S: It's only cool on the days it's not a complete mess. I swear, that girl's never washed a dish or picked up a broom in her life...

L: I wouldn't either if I could afford cleaners. And chill out - a little clutter never hurt nobody.

G: Not true. Once, a pencil that we had probably lost during a study party rolled out from under her living room couch in a burst of vengeance and I slipped on it and fell. Not only did I crack my skull open, but the pencil and my foot collided at such an angle that it penetrated the flesh all the way to the other side. I was in hospital for four days.

L: ... Gilear doesn't count.
