#absolutely not slagging off this person. godspeed god bless#however as someone who spiritually believes in a lot of irish myth and old religion (not the catholicism)#i am So Incredibly Fucking Cautious abt like. the way ppl treat pantheons and myths as like. fandoms#and like thats not to say u cant make adaptions of myth! ppl do that all the time!#but u have to be cautious not to be disrespectful yknow?#like keep in mind that these are things that genuine people did and do believe in#and if u like. reduce them to incorrect quotes n stuff without being careful its easy to minimise that#esp w minority religions like jesus x judas stuff is probs weird for the christians but i dont care as much abt them#like i feel so so sorry for like. believers in norse greek and roman myth specifically#because theyve become like. pop culture mythology almost#like if i talked abt my faith and people went 'oh like from marvel/percy jackson' i think id fucking bite them#anyway long story short i wont judge u for writing fic n that for myth bcos u could have been careful writing it#but like fuck if im gonna risk reading it to find that out for myself#practically the only 'modernised' gaelic myth i seek out is stuff regarding the dullahan#and thats bcos most of it either conflates it with the headless horseman as in ichabod crane and bram bones#or treats 'dullahan' as a species and isnt specifically about Gan Ceann himself which is where id have potential problems#am i making sense?#fuck knows
