I'm researching Scottish mythology for the Cyberknights AU, and I was skimming through the wiki entry for the Glenmasan manuscript (I'd tell you what it is, but I haven't actually finished reading yet), when I read this sentence

Like what are the fucking chances

#not art #not cod #not exactly at least #I love love love when I just come across something that perfectly fits what I need #what do you mean there's a fuckin 13th century manuscript of scottish mythology that is allegedly written by someone called John M'Tavish #cyberknights au #if anyones interested I've done a lot of thinking on the worldbuilding for cyberknights... and i WILL infodump if given the permission #new blorbo acquired..... his name is Eoin M'Tavish and he's been dead for like 800 years <3 #joining blorbos as the wanderer from the exeter book who may never existed and also been dead for a 1000 years #and that one Georgian queen who was so epic they wrote several books of poems about a guy representing her fighting armies #Edit I was checking how common M'Tavish (or MacTavish as it's the modern spelling) is bc I was like 'am I stupid is that just a common name #but its not. theres only about 3000 people with it #which is pretty damn rare in my standards (tho my surname is even rarer but mine has a weird ass origin lmao)
