sometimes i think i'm okay about láeg/lóeg literally meaning "calf" but figuratively being a term of endearment meaning "beloved" or "favourite" and i'm like. that's fine. totally okay for him to be called that. i'm normal about it.
and then i consider that in cú chulainn's lament for fer diad when he directly address fer diad as "beloved", that is the word he uses. a lóeg.
and on the same page: a lóeg, a phopa láeg, help me cut the gae bolga out of him, take this message for me, be there with me, be the only person i trust in this moment when i am falling apart,
and his name is fucking beloved
and fer diad is beloved and fer diad is fucking dead and láeg is fucking culpable because he helped and i don't even know where i'm going with this it's just something about being loved as an act of violence i think. beloved as a weapon. a bloody favourite and a mirror and a double and
#maybe this is what hozier meant when he said 'hold me like a knife'#oh fuck.#cu chulainn/laeg#cu chulainn/fer diad#i'm normal i'm normal it's fine#tain bo cuailnge

"Cú Chulainn passenger princess." I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
"They’re right," they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Laeg Mac Riangabra himself.
Thank you @sissiarte for the meme format.

Cú Chulainn: I was arrested for being too handsome.
Láeg: Yeah, the charges were dropped due to no supporting evidence.

Happy publication day to meeeeee, thank you so much for these @riseupriseupandcomealong! Láeg got my last suitable picture frame (my sole remaining clip frame is too small), so Cú Chulainn will have to wait, but I am so excited to have them both on my wall.

talking to my therapist about my realisation that maybe my demisexuality also applies to fictional characters and they were like. and do these characters have anything in common. and. well. do they???? anyway I need to draw some charts or something and figure out what the fuck kind of venn diagram overlap we've got going on here
#cu chulainn has nothing in common with mortimer sark#LAEG on the other hand... the sarcastic character who looks after you and gives you advice#but doesn't actually stop you from making bad life choices#yeah. uh. well. hmm.#much to think about#pearsanta

fellas is it gay to swear yourself to another man and then never once part from him, day or night, until he pulls out the spear that wounded you and begs you to leave him to die alone in battle so that at least one of you will survive to take the news back to your shared home and his (your) wife,
