The O'Carrick Family/Hibernia Spiel

(just a few things I looked up and kind of correlated to RA because I'm lowkey obsessed with the entire family as a whole and I don't know what else to do with this knowledge so you, dear reader, are now imbued with it)

"Carrick is ancient Scottish and Irish name that is derived from teh Gaelic word 'carraig' meaning 'rock.'" Dunno if this was Flanagan's intentions or not, but it actually does fit what we know of the family on a metaphorical sense.

Back centuries, people from Ireland were said to have dark skin (and blue eyes). I rest my case.

The name Caitlyn (of Irish origin) means "pure." We know next to nothing about Caitlyn, but it fits her.

Alternatively, the name "Ferris" (also of Irish origin) means "strong man or ironworker." I find that hilariously ironic.

Also alternatively, and someone has probably pointed this out already, Halt's name is from "England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture...comes from when the family lived near a grove or woods." However, unlike Ferris's name, it does fit.

How royal succession worked in medieval Ireland is actually highly debated and uncertain. There's a whole article here on how this could have worked but my brain says no to summing it up. But something in there mentions that brother to brother succession was usually avoided, so if Halt had become King and let's say he produced one or several heirs, the likeliehood of Ferris having to kill the entire royal family would be pretty high.

Another basic point is that seniority rules, but that seems obvious.

There's an irish myth/legend of "the message of the butterflies...They move between worlds and bring messages and warnings. They are said to be souls, waiting to be reborn on earth." Nothing too specific I found solely interesting—don't get me wrong, it is cool—but I mainly found it eye-catching cause of Will's given nickname in The Emperor of Nihon-Ja. Not that Will is Hibernian, but Halt might've known that.

Leprechauns. "Little People." That's it.

Back to royal families again. One of the popular ways of succession was tanistry, an early Irish law, where the "reigning chief" would choose which of the male relatives to succeed him. Said chosen one also had to be elected from certain people. An interesting idea if the twins' father had chosen Ferris. But this was also banned during the years of James I due to the violence and wars it caused.

Isidore of Seville is known to be "one of the earliest medieval writers [of] Ireland." Ireland is referred to in his notes as "Hibernia." Maybe that's common knowledge already, but I didn't know that. And after the Normal Invasion, it was known as "Dominus Hiberniae."

In another article, it was stated that Ireland was "a country divided into two 'nations.'" The Anglo-Normal settlers, and the older Gaelic Irish. Ferris's name is of Irish descent. But Halt's is Anglo-Saxon and while it's not Anglo-Norman, their namesakes were from different sides. Take with that what you will.

I find it funny that the harp is literally one of the symbols of Ireland and yet Halt is so utterly tone-deaf.

may i request some witw tommy thoughts :0 ?

finally getting around to answering this but yasssss !

witw!tommy, best described, is this image right here

ummm pretty much hes very much ctommy vibes in the sense thats hes just living his best life (eh.) until dream finds him and it allll goes down hill from there :\

pretty much during dreams 'im totally not mad with power' era he spells tommy and whatever spell he uses is like. WILDLY more effective than anything else hes cast (tommy, as it turns out, is a good conductor of magic.) and dream cant stop thinking about the interaction and hes like 'dude. i gotta look more into this'

so dream goes back to find tommy nd becomes his ‘friend’ nd then is like 'hey dude since we’re like. cool and hip and homies and were so close and all can i tell you somethin' and tommys like 'sure!' and dreams like 'bro magics real and i can control it' and tommy’s like 'wh-' and dreams like 'ALSO can i test spells on u nd shit cuz yk again we’re homies and besties and super close awesome friends tehe! i prommy i wont perma-spell u or anything and nothing i do will hurt u haha!'

tommys like 'sure???' and obvs well. u can assume how that went. (also tommy gets XD's mark from this. its purely unintentional on dreams part its just an effect of repeatedly using a gods magic on one person)

after like 3 or so months tommy finally gets fed up with being a magic experiment and sneaks away but unnnfourtantely for him when he leaves its winter and a snowstorm immediately starts up and he cant go BACK bc well. thatd be awkward but he didnt really dress for this and god hes been walking for a while nd- IS THAT A HOUSE

house in question is obvs the beeduo hype house (sorry) and so shows up at the beeduo house in the middle of winter tired and sick nd tubbos the only one there bc it had been snowing rlly hard for a little bit and ranboo was in town at book club when it start so ranboos stuck in town anyways. tommy, half dead on tubbos doorstep, propmtly passes out as expected and tubbos like what the FUCK and procceds to take him in and nurses him back to health lol he also realizes really quick that tommys a real human-y human and as such has to hide sll the magic potion shit while tommys there o7 but yah thats witw!tommys entire backstory have fun with that

#sagittarius.txt #witches in the woods au #before all the magic stuff tommy is literally just some guy btw he doesnt have like a bad life or anythingg #long post #sorry #ive had this for a while

note - there were only 2 criteria for this list, artists had to be both:

1. considered popular and/or overplayed

2. heavily made fun of or meme'd on on tumblr

don't try and read any deeper than that bc I really couldn't care less about how otherwise comparable or not these artists are thanks, ok so nobody actually be an asshole about anyone elses music taste or the music in general but like ig idgaf if you have beef with the artists themselves lmao

*EDIT: I SAID BE NICE YOU INSUFFERABLE HIPSTERS FFS

#ive had this idea for a while and listen. listen. ik there are some disparate pulls on here #but they all meet the criteria #ok to rb

losing my actual mind rn

i had this interaction in the dropout discord (i am the first and third person). short. simple. i only got the first year bc of a discount + a gift card i had, so i was planning on using this person's suggestion.

then, i got this.

oh my god!! how nice!! how sweet!!! how thoughtful!! i gave them my email and they sent over a subscription, i thanked them profusely. i was very grateful, very touched.

hours and hours later i was still thinking about it and i recalled how, in the email id gotten about it, it said "tao yang sent you a subscription" and id seen that and thought "oh haha like the tao yang" and then moved on

but now, thinking back, i was like.... theres no way, so i googled tao yang.
