'S oraibhse an dallamullóg, a amadáin - níor airigh mé cultúr na n-óg ag imeacht uaim agus mise ag éirí níos sine, mar níor airigh mé ariamh gar do chultúr na n-óg 🤷🤗.

Joke's on you, suckers – I didn't experience a growing sense of alienation from youth culture as I got older because I never understood youth culture in the first place.

also I'm really into magic associated w the body being like.....the result of a Ton of research and learning. so magical healing isn't easier than non magical doctor shit, just faster, bc the healer still has to know how things work, how the fit together, etc. in order to actually Heal People

N'fheadar an mbíonn sibh ag éisteacht le Raidió na Gaeltachta go minic (is fiú go mór é) ach an mbíonn éinne agaibh ag déanamh aithris ar na láithreoirí agus iad ag déanamh an réamhrá? Abair, nuair a dh'éistim leis an Saol Ó Dheas, is breá lem' chroí istigh "Dé bhur mbeathasa a lucht éisteachta agus fáilte is fiche romhaibh dtí'n Saol Ó Dheas inniubh trí neomat déag tréis a mheán lae agus beimídne libh as so go dtína haon a chlog ar an gclár" a rá i dteannta le Helen.

Goddess

Just the goddess of grief (with a touch from her hand, she can relieve the feeling of burdens. Downside is she now feels those burdens)

When Regan lived in Ireland with her grandmother, she resided in Saol Eile. Siobhan is also from this community, but was cast out prior to Regan ever living there.

Located by a necropolis in the moors a four hour drive from Dublin, Saol Eile is an aos sí consisting only of banshees and their families (regardless of species). Around 500 banshees live within the community, making it the largest gathering of banshees anywhere in the world by a wide margin. Saol Eile gives them a place to engage in their more… traditional practices without fear of judgment. Some clans may take their rituals, training, or servitude to extreme heights not seen elsewhere.

Saol Eile is hidden, though not impossible to end up in by chance. While it can’t be seen by passersby or a casual glance, those who look straight at it while hearing a banshee scream will be able to see and enter.

Screaming will be heard by all within a large radius of the community. All of the banshees are used to it – it may not even wake them at night – but the echoes of the screams can disturb and confuse outsiders for miles, and one with unlucky timing may permit an outsider to find the community.

Outside visitors are allowed, but socially frowned upon. They are more permitted if the outsider is a different fae species, a siren, or an individual that will be used for ritual sacrifice or training purposes.

Some banshees will use Saol Eile as their family’s home base, but travel the country or even world in an attempt to serve Fate, recognizing they must use their gift far and wide. Others will rarely set foot outside the aos sí, dedicating themselves to teaching and serving others.

Almost nothing is made out of glass. Windows are shatter-proof material (and a bit hard to see through), paper and plastic constitute fine china, and most dwellings are lit with candles rather than lightbulbs. There are some exceptions for banshee families who never fail to control their scream, but most have at least one youngun’ who will be prone to mishaps.

Because the aos sí is relatively remote, some banshees will make weekend trips to Dublin and return with requested provisions and supplies. Most are poor drivers, and the three cars available to Saol Eile are not in good condition. Plus the windows are blown out because some banshees just can’t get a grip.

Scríobh @voyagerprobe an phostáil seo a leanas:

Fíor-cháintí an tsaoil acadúil:

• Costas an oideachais mar bhac aicme

• ag baint leas as oibrithe iar-chéime

• Stair agus feidhmiúchán reatha atá cóilíneach

• ceangail leis an gcoimpléasc tionscalaíoch míleata

• tá contúirt ann mar chruth cumhachta gur féidir leis tuairimí agus dearcthaí "ceartchreidmheacha" faoi chúrsaí sóisialta a chur i bhfeidhm agus réasún a thabhairt dhóibh

Cáintí an tsaoil acadúil a bhíonns á ndéanamh:

• Tá na scoláirí ardnósacha siúd ag caitheamh airgead amú ag déanamh staidéir ar rudaí!

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

léigh mé rud mícheart cúpla bomaite ó shin -- ba bréag í, fiú -- agus is rud beag é. dúirt siad go raibh comhdháil acadúil 'prestigious' faoin rúraíocht achán bliain agus níl comhdháil den saghas seo faoina cineál eile seanlitríocht gaeilge mar tá níos mó meas ar an rúraíocht nó ar an táin nó ar na daoine ag obair orthu agus tá achan duine eile i leinn ceiltise meanaoiseach an underdog i gcomparáíd leo. ach níl ach comhdháil amháin gach cúig bliain faoin rúraíocht, nó níos lú ná sin, agus tá an comhdháil fiannaíocht díreach ann? so ní fíor sin ar chor ar bith. like. is féidir leat é sin a googleáil

agus níl aon deiseanna speisialta ann; tá aithne agam ar a lán daoine gan aon spéis sa rúraíocht agus iad ina n-ollamh 7rl ag obair ar dlí nó dindsenchas nó achan rud eile. duirt elizabeth boyle gur is fuath lei an táin, mar shampla, agus níl aon suim mór ag mo chomrádaithe fósta. bhí mise an duine amháin ag déanamh taighde ar an rúraíocht i mo chúrsa mhaistreachta, sílim. níl claontacht mór don rúraíocht; níl aon airgead ann. an rud amhain atá againn, tá cúpla aistriucháin ginérealta tháin bó cúailnge (carson agus kinsella). mar sin tá níos mó eolas ag daoine néamhacadúil, b'fhéidir. sin é. an rud amhain ag an rúraíocht nach bhfuil atá ag seanlitríocht eile. (agus b'fhéidir níos mó fanfic agus fanart le déanaí!)

agus mar a dúirt mé is rud beag é agus níl sé rud tábhachtach, agus tá deacracht eile ag an duine a scríobh é, tá a fhios agam. deacrachtaí fíoracha, tá mé cinnte, agus dushláin acadúila, agus nuair atá tú ag obair ar rud 'seanfaiseanta' nó mífhaiseanta tá sé déacair a bheith gan éad ar daoine eile ar toipicí níos 'simplí' nó 'coitianta'. ach ní maith liom nuair a chuir daoine rudaí mar sin ar tumblr agus coincheap mícheart a roinnt le daoine néamhacadúil (nó daoine ag smaointiú faoi taighde acadúil). tá daoine ag smaointiú go raibh a lán deiseanna rudaí a dhéanamh leis an rúraíocht, le rudaí aeracha, 7rl, cosúil le bheadh tú ag achán comhdháil agus bheadh a lán airgead ar fáil duit. bheadh díoma orthu tar éis an fhírinne a foghlaim

like. duirt duine liomsa "oh there's loads of queer theory for the ulster cycle compared to arthurian stuff" - mar bhí siad ag amharc ar tumblr, áit a raibh muid ag labhairt faoi. ach tá an malairt fíor. níl faic ann faoi rudaí aeracha san ruraíocht!! tá go LEOR rudaí mar sin i leinn artúrach! so níl sé úsáideach don mic léinn céiltise agus daoine mar sin na míthuiscintí a chur chun cinn, mar tá brón orthu faoina rudaí pearsanta ina ollscoil féin

ba mhaith liom an domhain seo, áit a bhfuil meas agus airgead agus deiseanna agus comhdháil don rúraíocht, agus is féidir leat do taighde a roinnt le níos mó ná deichniúir. ach níl sé mo domhain. comhdháil mór i 2018 (roinnt leis an comhdhail fíannaíocht) agus comdháil beag i 2024 – sin é. na deiseanna mór. ná meas mór ar an rúraíocht mar abhár acadúil. tá an bua linne.

in saol I’ve got a necromancer-healer w a prosthetic arm made of her own bone and another character has a service dragon and there’s a nonverbal bard whose lute functions as aac and the mcs crutches are her magical focus and in conclusion this is the most self indulgent crip shit I’ve ever written

[rat-punch]

If there were a dragons in your little monster universe, what would they look like?

Thank you for asking! There are dragons in the Saol Mór. My dragons are mostly traditional:

large

scaly

firebreathers

hoarders

Dragons are ancient creatures with, comparatively, very long lifespans. They only produce young every 50-100 years, if at all. They live very solitary lives and will leave their parents almost as soon as they are able to. It is not common to see dragons in communal spaces, or know any personally.

Dragons are also very knowledgeable creatures, having the experiences that come with the lifespans they have. It is not uncommon for them to have books or other pieces of art among their collections. While jewels and other shiny things aren't uncommon either, there is a wide variety of items they might hoard, and they only tend to hoard a few "types" of items at a time.

Their hoards are so specialized, they actually trade with eachother quite often, and intense rivalries may form between dragons if their hoards are similar enough.

Dragons generally live long distances from eachother, so do not speak face to face very often. Instead, they opt for looking glasses, scrying, and telepathy as alternate forms of communication. They may even use other creatures as couriers, exchanging some of their knowledge or items for the service.

Physically, dragons are normally large, scaly, and metallic. They may breathe fire, and in some cases they may generate frost, spit water, or regurgitate acid.

As with all things in the Saol Mór, life mixes and melds with itself in exciting and unpredictable ways. Despite their solitude, dragons are not immune to these latent mutations! (Even if they are observed considerably less in dragons than in other creatures...)
