Character What-ifs themes

While writing about my characters or working on chapters for RFR, sometimes I like listening to fitting music for them.

For Eightenate/the Earthenkind/the looming fjords leading into the Kingdom of Caldera from the sea:

Rán, Norse Goddess of the Sea ~Something I just learn today!

I like how this song starts out so innocent with a building tension. The rise and fall of the music (I don't know how to describe it, but you'll know listening to it) sounds like waves rising and crashing.

For Gwenny/his lover back in the abbey in Longormore/their love and eventual heartbreak:

Also, info on Suil A Run's lyrics ~interesting read!

First version by Celtic Woman - energetic, urgent, upbeat - perhaps a happier time

Second version By The University of Birmingham Brass Band - mourning, loss, a hint of determination, quietness

Some little hints on Gwenny's backstory (wip) lol

A Prayer to Rid Oneself of the Evil Eye

Original found (here)

Pagan altered version (here) by Morgan Daimler

In the Carmina Gadelica, a book of gaelic prayers, a prayer against the evil eye is found. It calls upon the strength of the natural world and the Lords three aspects.

Original Gaelic

SALTRAIM air an t-suil,

Mar a shaltrais lach air luin,

Mar a shaltrais eal air burn,

Mar a shaltrais each air uir,

Mar a shaltrais earc air iuc,

Mar a shaltrais feachd nan dul,

Mar a shaltrais feachd nan dul.

Ta neart gaoith agam air,

Ta neart fraoich agam air,

Ta neart teine agam air,

Ta neart torruinn agam air,

Ta neart dealain agam air,

Ta neart gaillinn agam air,

Ta neart gile agam air,

Ta neart greine agam air,

Ta neart nan reul agam air,

Ta neart nan speur agam air,

Ta neart nan neamh

Is nan ce agam air,

Neart nan neamh

Is nan ce agam air.

Trian air na clacha glasa dheth,

Trian air na beanna casa dheth,

Trian air na h-easa brasa dheth,

Trian air na liana maiseach dheth,

’S trian air a mhuir mhoir shalach,

’S i fein asair is fearr gu ghiulan,

A mhuir mhor shalach,

Asair is fearr gu ghiulan.

An ainm Tri nan Dul,

An ainm nan Tri Numh,

An ainm nan uile Run,

English translation

TRAMPLE upon the eye,

As tramples the duck upon the lake,

As tramples the swan upon the water,

As tramples the horse upon the plain,

As tramples the cow upon the 'iuc,'

As tramples the host of the elements,

As tramples the host of the elements.

Power of wind I have over it,

Power of wrath I have over it,

Power of fire I have over it,

Power of thunder I have over it,

Power of lightning I have over it,

Power of storms I have over it,

Power of moon I have over it,

Power of sun I have over it,

Power of stars I have over it,

Power of firmament I have over it,

Power of the heavens

And of the worlds I have over it,

Power of the heavens

And of the worlds I have over it.

A portion of it upon the grey stones,

A portion of it upon the steep hills,

A portion of it upon the fast falls,

A portion of it upon the fair meads,

And a portion upon the great salt sea,

She herself is the best instrument to carry it,

The great salt sea,

The best instrument to carry it.

In name of the Three of Life,

In name of the Sacred Three,

In name of all the Secret Ones,

And of the Powers together.

Day 17: Patrick's Day

Tags: @unseeliethot @grimalkinsquill @bella-daonna @rusalkaandtheshepherdgirl @charlataninred

Written version below the cut.

Dia daoibh. Today is the final day of seachtain na gaeilge so I’ll just be picking up a few loose ends here and there. 

Talking about where you live is very easy. Just use the phrase “Tá mé i mo chonaí i ____”  and insert the name of your town, plus an urú. You can replace the town name with a general indicator of where you live, like “i gcathair”(in a city), “i mbaile” (in a town), “i sraidbhaile” (in a village), or “faoin tuath” (in the countryside). Be careful, the faoin replaces the final i, “Tá mé i mo chonaí faoin tuath.”

I did not really touch on plurals in Irish, as they are complicated. Irish has two main types of plurals, weak and strong. Weak plurals mean the genitive plural is the same as the normative singular, and strong plurals means the genitive plural is the same as the normative plural. There are some irregular nouns where all normative singular, genitive singular, normative plural, and genitive plural are all different. Unfortunately the only way to learn how to pluralise a word is to know the pattern for the set of endings, for example -eog is generally a weak plural where the normative plural is -eoga.

The vocative case in Irish is how you refer to someone, whether by name, title, or nickname. For titles or nicknames, start the phrase with the particle “a”, and then add a séimhiú where appropriate. 

For names you have to consider a few factors. If the name is not Irish, then you add the particle “a” in front and then leave it be. If it is an Irish name starting with a consonant, then you add a séimhiú, and if it starts with a vowel then do not. If it is a masculine name, you also must slenderise any broad endings by adding an I after the last vowel cluster, eg. Darragh -> a Dharraigh. For feminine names, do not add that i.

Letters in Irish generally begin with the phrase “A ___, a chara,” (do with this information what you will NDM fandom)

Let's talk dictionaries quickly. Foclóir is by far and away the best English-Irish dictionary on the internet. Teanglann is run by the organization as Focloir and does Gaeilge-Berla translations, as well as having a  Póta Focail is good for phrases, or for spotting words in fun grammatical cases that Teanglann cannot catch. However, it is generally a worse dictionary than the other two. 

Foclóir has a good section for changes words undergo due to grammar. If you hover over the indication of which section of speech any word is, e.g. verb or fem4, the link will become underlined. If you click it, a box will open on the screen. For nouns the box will tell you how to write them in the TG or the plural, for adjectives it will give it’s masculine, feminine, and plural forms, and it will conjugate out verbs. One section of speech this box specifically does not give information on are prepositional pronouns. If you want to see the conjugation of a preposition, your best bet is to use Teanglann, as it does out all preposition in both English-Irish and Irish-English.

Dia duit! Conas atá tú? Táim go maith, táim go maith. Cooper is ainm dom, agus is madra mé. Tá mé ceithre bliana d’aois. Tá gruaig dubh orm agus suile donna agam. Tá mo chuid gruaige chatach. Is madra an-dathúil mé. Tá mé i mo chonaí faoin tuath. Tá seasair i mo thealleach: cuaigair daoine agus mise. Is maith liom a bheith ag dul ar siúlta timpell na feirme. Inné, d’ith mé arán as an mbosca bruscair. Is fuath liom lon dubh, agus béarfaidh mé orthu lá éigin.

Finally, here's a little introduction paragraph, and a picture to give you hints. Catach - curly, dathúil - handsome, siúlta - walks, feirm - farm, arán - bread, bosca bruscair - bin, lon dubh - blackbird, lá éigin - someday. 

I now challenge you to write a similar paragraph for your own pet, or about your favorite fictional animal, like Snowy from Tintin. 

Today’s seanfhocail is “Ní neart go cur le chéile” or “There is no strength without unity”.

Thank you for sticking with this mess, go raibh maith agat. Lá fhéile Padraig sona dhaoibh, agus slán libh.

SIAN A BHEATHA BHUAN

CUIRIM sian a bheatha bhuan, Mu ’r crodh luath, leathann, lan, An creagan air an laigh an spreidh,     Gun eirich iad beo slan.

A nuas le buaidh ’s le beannachd, A suas le luaths ’s le leannachd, Gun ghnu, gun tnu, gun fharmad, Gun suil bhig, gun suil mhoir,     Gun suil choig an dearmaid.

Sughaidh mise seo, sughadh feith farmaid Air ceannard an tighe ’s air teaghlaich a bhaile, Gun eirich gach droch-bhuil, ’s gach droch-bhuaidh     Bu dhualta dhuibh-se dhaibh-san.

         Ma mhallaich teanga duibh,          Bheannaich cridhe duibh;          Ma ghonaich suil duibh,          Shonaich run duibh.

Tionndanam is teanndanam, Culionn cruaidh is creanndagaich Air an caoire boirionn ’s air an laoighe firionn,     Fad nan naodh ’s nan naodh fichead bliadhna.

THE CHARM OF THE LASTING LIFE

I WILL place the charm of the lasting life, Upon your cattle active, broad, and full, The knoll upon which the herds shall lie down,     That they may rise from it whole and well.

Down with success, and with blessing, Up with activity and following, Without envy, without malice, without ill-will, Without small eye, without large eye,     Without the five eyes of neglect.

I will suck this, the sucking of envious vein On the head of the house, and the townland families, That every evil trait, and every evil tendency     Inherent in you shall cleave to them.

         If tongue cursed you,          A heart blessed you;          If eye blighted you,          A wish prospered you.

A hurly-burlying, a topsy-turvying, A hard hollying and a wan withering To their female sheep and to their male calves,     For the nine and the nine score years.

From the Carmina Gadelica, vol. 2, pp. 32-33. Alexander Carmicheal,

I'd suggest their solo songs from their predebut album: Up all night by Steven, ROD by suil (my baby </3), Orbit by Woobin and STAR by Youngbin. They'll give you a feel of they're own style and showcase their voices in the best way possible (Seriously I listen to star every day). Than I'd also recommend their debut song run and also all eyes down (advance) and Scintillation from their most recent album!

The group themselves is amazing! They're all so sweet and caring and so beautiful (seriously, I introduced @gyuphorias to Steven and they were set to Stan because like- holy crap he's beautiful)

-🐈⬛

omg i'm adding all of these to my playlist rn thank you so much bestie!! and i just saw moon's comment on your other post saying how good they are omg perhaps i will stan 🤔🤔💓

[gyuphorias]

okay okay so I'd totally recommend up all night, ROD ( ride or die ), orbit and star from their predebut album, those four songs are all solo songs for each of the members.. than I'd recommend run from their debut album youth and they recently had a comeback and from that album I'd recommend all eyes down and scintillation..

They're a four member group consisting of the members Youngbin, Steven, Suil and Woobin.. most content you come across will be about Steven as he's the Australian member and yk how kpop stans are with Australian idols.

-yh

ok can i just say i wish kpop groups got do to solo tracks on albums outside of full group and subunit songs??? bc i love it sm. ab6ix did it w their recent ep and i love the solo songs a lot!! i know it's hard w bigger groups but i think it'd be really cool if we got like . a txt or skz album where everyone gets a solo song

anyways i feel obligated to give u my opinions while i listen to these songs SO

- up all night is really good i'm always down for strings mixed w more modern sounding instrumentals. i think we all know what i could say abt mister steven so i will be sparing the details

- ride or die? more like nothing but vibes. i love slower softer songs, so this one is right up my alley fr suil's voice is so soothing

- star is giving ... driving down the highway w the windows down during summer. super fun and the lyrics are really cute! "you're my star" man i'm a sucker for this one. youngbin's voice is really sweet n cute

- orbit omg ... the opening i love the transition from the synthy piano to the busy signal to the instrumentals of the song. and woobin's voice omg ... i think he has my favorite voice n this might be my favorite song!! it's just so pretty and sparkly i like it a lot!!

- ok run is really just a baddie anthem fr and the mv??? i'm obsessed actually i think!! they're all so fucking pretty their styling is so good i'm on the floor

- all eyes down ... i am begging stylists to continue putting male idols in lip piercings it is the only thing keeping me hanging on to sanity at this point. i would commit politcally charged arson to this song and i'd like youngbin to be my partner in crime!

- scintillation i'm speechless ... woobin's falsetto is so fucking gorgeous i have no words at all i seriously love their vocals on this song idk idk i really like this song a lot!!

WIP Wednesday: Sadril-nin/My Loyal One

I was tagged by @sleepswithvillains​ for WIP Whenever and today I’ll be promoting Sadril-nin. I’m not tagging today because I haven’t been seeing a lot of interest in it, so whoever wants it can have it. Consider it an open ended tag.

As you may know with Sadril-nin, I’m releasing chapters of the fic every three days and the reason I’m doing this is simply because of the enormity of this fic. This is 177 pages and counting, over 100k words. I haven’t done an extreme amount of advertising for this fic because I’m posting every three days, but I thought I’d give y’all an update on what it’s about and what it’s shaping out to be.

So, this is tagged as a Lindir X Fem!Reader fic, and that is the general idea of the whole fic, but it’s far more than just a simple romance fic. I couldn’t tell you the last time I wrote something short, sweet, and simple. There are themes of betrayal and found family, the intense bond of family love, and this journey that you go on in discovering who are and what you mean to rest of the world. This timeline sticks closer to The Hobbit movies and of course, goes on in the years passing after the Battle of the Five Armies (everybody lives; no one dies btw; it was crucial). It’s far more likely that I will have a sequel following it for the events of the Lord of the Rings series, since I’ll be dealing with a rough seventy year gap and I don’t want Sadril-nin to be anymore overwhelming than it already is.

As a side note, I will be posting this on Tumblr after I fully release it on AO3. Mainly I don’t want to spam fics on y’all, since I’ve already got A Hunter’s Circlet series running, and I’m also migrating Bards & Beans Coffee Co. over from AO3 as well.

Instead of promoting the next chapter to be released, I wanted to try something a little different and give you guys a taste of a chapter that was just written. Without giving any spoilers, here is an interaction between Haldir and his brothers, and two other unnamed Galadhrim warriors. It’s a crucial point for everyone; the realization that this journey you are on is dangerous, for you and for everyone around you.

“I’m coming with you. You’re not doing this alone.” Rumil stepped outside the tent; the others waiting.

“You look horrible.” Orophin remarked. Rumil scowled. The two other warriors were also among the party but no one dared say anything. Rumil knew the blanketed bundle in Haldir’s arms had to be the other warrior, for Orophin held the sword, bloodied and sheathed.

“Let’s move.” Haldir murmured, finding a plot of land outside and laying out the remains, building a stone cairn over what was left of the body. He stared at the cairn for the longest time. “Damn it all.” Haldir muttered, bowing his head to his chest. It was one thing to lose a warrior in a simple patrol, to be attacked by orcs or trolls or even men. It was a completely different thing to watch a warg pack rip a warrior limb from limb, still alive and begging for death at that point. He had put them out of their misery, knowing they could not be saved. The others were quiet; they too had seen the same things he had, and had watched their commander make the executive decision to kill their own.

“Suil vain (fair winds), gwador-nin (my sworn brother).” Orophin finally murmured, placing his hands on the cairn. “May Mandos watch over your soul.” The others echoed in the sentiment quietly, placing their hands on the cairn, murmuring their own prayers before dispersing. Orophin returned to the camp with the others to clean the sword and sheath, knowing it would be delivered to the family upon their return to Lorien. Rumil and Haldir remained.

“You did the right thing.” Rumil finally commented.

“That doesn’t make it any easier.” Haldir replied.
