🐱! Also 🦐?

Boop!! 🐱💜

Oh, my friend….... You know exactly which character is giving me shrimp emotions right now (and always) haha

But specifically I've been thinking a lot about the invocation of Gwyn ap Nudd from Balliol College MS 239 (15th century) , which tells us that people armed with fire and iron would ask for the help of demons by calling out "Gwyn ap Nudd, you who are beyond in the forests, for the love of your lover let us come home." It's interesting that they appeal to his sense of love.

I'm thinking also about how Creiddylad is always a lover and never a wife.

#I'm way too tired to articulate my thoughts #but it's like he introduces himself as “guin mab nud. gorterch creurdilad merch lut” #gwyn ap nudd lover of creiddylad ferch ludd #and also in a sense creiddylad is also punished for being abducted #so i feel like there are remnants of another story here #about adultery. or young unfettered love. for which both gwyn and creiddylad are eternally punished. #thank you for letting me ramble hahaha #(someone please pay me and i will create for you the most in depth book on gwyn ap nudd to ever exist)
