Modern equivalent of the most eligible cultivator thing is a poll (probably made by Nie Huaisang) and right after the final results go live Wei Wuxian leaves an incredibly detailed rant in the comments about how Lan Wangji should be ranked number one and everyone that chose Xichen over him is a coward that just can't handle a hot person being a little mean (no homo)

No, I hate writing whump, what do you mean? I’d never write a 20k word TBB fic after HCing one specific whump scene. No! that’s so silly. I don’t like to try to draw it either!

Okay but the amount of time I spent making sure Padmé and Anakin are “causally picnicking in the BG” in the Naboo dilemma 😅 🧺

Round two: Craic vs שלימזל, shlimazl
(poll at the end)
Craic (Irish Gaelic)
[kɾˠac]
Translation: Fun, good time, chat, but can also be used in ways like "what's the craic?" to say "what's up?"
Irish Gaelic is an Indo-European language belonging to the Celtic branch. It has 141 000 native speakers in Ireland and 1 030 000 people speak it as a second language. It is taught in schools as a second language, but the population actually speaking Irish Gaelic on a daily basis either live in small areas where English never took over (around 2% of Ireland’s population) or are groups in urban areas mostly speaking it as a second language. Many only speak Irish Gaelic within the education system.
Motivation: The spelling is pretty cool, it’s a culturally specific word, and I love how confused people get when I use it, it’s funny to see people thinking I am talking about drugs when I am not.
שלימזל, shlimazl (Yiddish)
[ʃləˈmɑːzəl]
Translation: A person with perpetually bad luck
Yiddish is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch, today spoken by 409 000 people. It originated among Jews in Germany who mixed German with Hebrew from the Tanakh, with records going back to the 8th century. After 1250 the Yiddish-speaking Jews got contact with Slavic Jews and spread the language there. The dialect that evolved in contact with the Slavic languages later on became the prominent one. Yiddish was spread beyond Europe due to persecution of Jews in eastern Europe that led to emigration. Around half of the Yiddish-speaking community was murdered in the Holocaust, and due to that as well as further prosecution in Soviet and voluntary switching to Hebrew, there are far less speakers now than before WWII, when Yiddish had 11 million speakers.
Motivation: It’s a fun word

Hello there :)
Your post about the Irish constantly saying fuck killed me. So I thought you might appreciate a short story about another lapse of language between the Irish and Americans.
My university sponsored a literary tour of Ireland and the UK. In Dublin, my group of girls got in the hotel elevator with these two cute Dubliner boys. Being myself, I was flirting my face off.
One boy was talking about this club the two were going to that night. I asked if it was a fun club. He said yeah, best craic in Dublin.
My girls go completely silent. The boys get off the elevator. The girl next to me starts freaking out about being offered drugs.
I burst out laughing. Then I explained. We ended up going to the club that night. Very fun.
There's no joke as Gaeilge that's more popular for use on the innocent North American visitor. :)
(...If it actually is an Irish joke; or initially one. There is a serious amount of discussion among scholars about the etymology, derivation and history of the term craic. [One simple version is here.])

Мова, móva (Belarusian)
[ˈmɔva]
Translation: Language
Belarusian is an Indo-European language belonging to the Slavic branch spoken in Belarus closely related to Ukrainian and Russian. There are currently around 3,5 million speakers, but only 1,1 million of them are native speakers. Most Belarusians have Russian as their first language and in general use of Belarusian is decreasing.
Motivation: Мова is how Belarusians refer to our language whenever we talk about it. Мова is something very integral to Belarusian identity and something that a lot of people are trying to make more popular.

The Blue Light Pub.
Located at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, The Blue Light pub boasts an amazing atmosphere with a range of draught pints and live music every night!
Myself and Chris kept it simple with a pint of Coors and there was no complaints from our side.
If you ever find yourself in the Dublin Mountains area this is a certified establishment (By OnlyPints) to pick up a cold refreshing pint with a view of South Dublin.
OnlyPints Rating: 7.5/10
