@ganseylike#but On The Other Hand #no-one In Scotland Is Going To Specify That The Gaelic They Speak

@ganseylike #but on the other hand #no-one in scotland is going to specify that the gaelic they speak is 'SCOTTISH gaelic' yeah this is probably v true - I haven’t had the chance to get into this with a Scottish person yet, I just threw it in absentmindedly as Scottish people may be more likely to call it gaelic, particularly as they also have scots which is a seperate language? - scottish people feel free to come here and yell at me as this is just off the cuff thinking here - basically it’s more that scots gaelic is how we refer to scottish gaelic in ireland, but we don’t tend to use gaelic when we’re referring to our own language and it’s not a component of its title

mainly I just want to avoid the narrative dissonance which comes from reading something about an irish character and then being told that they are speaking gaelic, it’s just so jarring.

PSA for the raven cycle fandom or any other fandom with irish characters or characters of irish descent - irish people call the irish language irish or, in irish, gaeilge. the word gaelic is usually used to refer to gaelic football. no one says that they speak gaelic here. 

there are gaelic languages - scots gaelic, for example, being the name of the gaelic language spoken in scotland - but, if you’re talking about irish people speaking the gaelic language of ireland, it’s called irish/gaeilge. thanks so much for tuning in.

Adam pronounced love very carefully, as if it were an unfamiliar element on the periodic table.

Going to an illict TV episode streaming site is like descending into some infernal faery netherworld filled with false doors and conniving tricksters who want to trap you there for eternity, or send to you back to the mortal realm carrying some kind of contagious curse. Every time you agree to something you have to double-check what you’re looking at or where you’re being led since a false path will always open up adjacent to the one you really want to go down. You might very well end up trapped with no way to get out except by making a horrible bargain with a creature eager to wreak havoc back on Earth
