No but seriously imagine it:

You're at the Irish General Election. Everyone is having a terrible time. Fine Gael seems a little too excited. "We have a surprise for you guys." Simon Harris says. All of a sudden Fianna Fáil comes out and starts singing "Coalition Government 4ever" When Micheál Martin gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing...

"Make Crime Illegal.''

Lights flash everywhere, and you see Fine Gael start singing their theme song "Cost of Living Crisis" along with Fianna Fáil, while Nick Delehanty and the Independents are singing his campaign slogan ''Make Crime Illegal.''

Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying out in pain. Then, when we all hit rock bottom, Richard Boyd Barrett and the rest of People Before Profit storm onto the stage, holding the socialist flag and a gun.

@sentient-sunset guess who's watching the leaders debate.

The Quiraing on Scotland's Isle of Skye is a beautiful sight.

Seen here before the sun illuminated the rocky ridge, classic view behind me at this point but I was drown to this scene before sunrise.

The ship in the distance, on the Atlantic, is one that I have been on before, SH Vega and it adds a sense of scale to the whole scene.

I really need to get back into Irish myths and legends because it feels somewhat criminal to be so into Greek and Roman mythology yet I won't give my own culture a second thought and Banshees are so interesting

I'm glad we met

The Return of the King!

I'm back now y'all, for good this time! The tests and hospital visits were all worth it! I'm doing fine now, the past few days have been lovely.

I've been watching lots of G3 MLP and drinking caramel flavoured hot chocolate. My energy levels have been low but I've been making more kandi lately which is nice, I enjoy it because it's fun and doesn't require much spoons.

Oh, I'm also really getting into the festive spirit lately! I'm super excited to watch The Late Late Toy Show on December 6th. Will any of you be watching it too?

I've missed you all so much, thank you for being so patient. I'm looking forward to getting back to pony posting! 💚

Edit: I forgot to add this earlier but thank you for getting me to 400+ followers!

My Little Pony book with a death spell inside. Yes, it most definitely came home with me

Gotta start treating english like monolinguistic english speakers treat other languages

Did you know English doesn't have a word for the Irish word 'mar'? Instead they have to say 'is the cause' of or 'because' for short

Credit to Irish press for keeping it real, unlike everyone else.

It is never too late to learn to speak Irish.

You do not have to be Irish to speak Irish.

Once you're out of school, there is no grammar police and most people are just excited to have someone to speak Irish with.

Incorporating Irish words into your day when you're not fluent (I have to go to the leithreas, throw it in the bruscar, that's a gorgeous gúna) is an act of decolonisation.

Helping people to understand the language is an act of love.

Gaeilge go deo ❤️

[phantom-of-the-memes]

Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

YEAH!! you go girls! You did amazing, the true winners of the match!

it’s funny how nobody would’ve batted an eye to a peaceful protest like this if it were to say the Russian team last year.

[scims-stuff]

I think it’s just kinda ironic that Hozier released a song dedicated to the destruction of native culture and language, and most of you seem to be allergic to referring to the Irish language as Irish.

Gaelic is an umbrella term that describes many languages, mainly Irish, Welsh, and Scots Gaelic. Gaelic is not an actual language (or at least not anymore). All three are distinct languages with their own spellings and grammar. In the De Selby bts video Hozier himself refers to it as Irish.

You would not refer to Spanish as romantic when it could also mean French and Italian. Show some respect.
