you know what would've been really fun? if like how the dracas speak Norwegian, and the vamalia speak German, the Lycana had irish as their first language. I know it would've probably been "too much effort" or something to find native speakers either as the actors or to provide things for the script. but i would've loved to hear ivy and seymore speaking in gaeilge, even just turning up and saying "dia dhuit" instead of "hey" or muttering things others can't hear under their breath and them even implying that they were speaking irish would be been so fun.

especially since this is the late 1800s but it's been implied that they were around for a while so they would've been born to gaeilge speaking families,but probably forced to speak English while the english were over causing trouble in ireland. so we can still have them beleivably speaking english on the ship but speaking irish in private.

they probably won't do this if they make another season,but I really want them to
