Irish language things

One thing I’ll never not find interesting is the intersection between Irish and English. Especially how young people navigate this.

Gaeltacht colleges/ courses are an excellent example of this. Gaeltachts are Irish speaking areas in Ireland. There are very few of them left (most being in the Republic). A big source of income for these areas are setting up colleges or courses where young people can come and participate in for a week or two or even three. They’re basically summer camps where you’re only allowed to speak Irish. You do classes as well as fun activities. They’re really useful for young people to learn Irish and do well in their exams.

The linguistic example I was thinking of is what we say when we’re trying to get by someone. Most cultures will say “excuse me”. We sometimes do as well, but most Irish people will say “sorry”. This then translates over to Irish where people say “(Tá) brón orm”, meaning “I’m sorry”. Even when excuse me is “gabh mo leithscéal” in Irish.

Where young people and gaelcholáistí come into this is with the hilarious “brónzies”. I don’t know if this is exclusive to Ireland, but in text talk people shorten sorry to “soz”. Then that developed into “sozies”. And thus young people use “brónzies” a lot (mostly ironically) at Irish speaking summer camps.

People have conflicting opinions of “brónzies”. Most think it’s an abomination, which I agree with. But I think that’s what makes it so funny.

Dracula referring to his books as “my friends” is both hilarious and relatable

Ruairí Ó hUiginn told me about a folktale that involves Cú Chulainn with a gun and now I desperately need to track this down because I didn't believe he could get more lethal and I need to see this with my own eyes.

I bring you… my silly little comics. Saw a tik tok this morning about British Museum recognizing emperor Elagabalus as a trans woman 🏳️‍⚧️, and I just had to draw this.

How to get to Hadestown? Take the escalator.

This is partly inspired by a tweet and was way funnier In my head. The other inspiration is the escalator to get to the subway in Washington D.C which could a quite possibly actually decend into hell. I think they’re the longest/steepest ever.

Aine/Áine was one of the first images I came up with for the Tuatha De Danann, although I first depicted Dagda and Morrigan. But now it's her turn, and she is absolutely gorgeous
