📌 conas taoi, how are ye ☘️✨️

im just an elusive small town 🎨ealaíontóir who only experiences rare bursts of inspiration between the 🏙daily grind🌃. it makes me happy to put a little art out in the world, i hope you all enjoy it too 💜💚

tá mé fós ag foghlaim gaeilge, leithscéalta as droch-ghramadach 🙇‍♂️

GAELIGE
Seasann dragan ollmhór bándearg thar laoch beag Fianna na hÉireann, a chanann a scéal

ENGLISH
A massive pink dragon stands over a small Irish Fianna warrior, who sings of her tale

GAELIGE
Suíonn laoch aonair de chuid na bhFianna ina sheomra, ag tiúnadh a Chorn Fiach. Breathnaíonn sé pensive, b'fhéidir nach bhfuil sé i dtaithí ar a bheith ina aonar

ENGLISH
A lone Fianna warrior sits in his room, tuning his Hunting Horn. He looks pensive, perhaps he's not used to being alone

GAELIGE
Féachann laoch na bhFianna orainn le gáire compordach, bouquet beag de violets aige. Tarlaíonn sé gurb é Violet an t-ainm marbh a bhí air... ach téann sé in aice le Tús anois

ENGLISH
The Fianna warrior looks to us with a comfortable smile, holding a small bouquet of violets. Violet happens to be his deadname... but now he goes by Toot

GAELIGE
Tá laoch na bhFianna ina shuí i measc scriosta sráidbhaile leis féin, a aghaidh go trom faoi bhrón. Tá dhá shióga mórthimpeall air, ceann dearg mímhorálta ar a bhfuil aghaidh léis, agus ceann glas maith le héadan ialtóg. Agus iad ag sileadh timpeall air, déanann siad damáiste agus leighis air, rud a fhágann go mothaíonn siad marbhánta

ENGLISH
The Fianna warrior is sitting amongst the wreckage of a village alone, his face heavy with grief. There are two fairies surrounding him, a malevolent red one with the face of a leech, and a benevolent green one with the face of a bat. As they flutter around him, they damage and heal him, making him feel stagnant

Is deacair maireachtáil le paranoia mar go mbraitheann sé go bhfuil gach focal a fhágann do bhéal mícheart. Braitheann sé go bhfuil gach gníomh ina dheis do dhuine dofheicthe bealach a aimsiú chun dochar a dhéanamh duit

Is bealach iontach é chun tús a chur leis an tseachtain, dar liom, nuair a fuair mé amach gur scríobh duine éigin m'ainm-marbh ar cheann de na seastáin seomra folctha do na fir 🙄😮‍💨

Is í an Gaeilge mo theanga. Sin an rud a mhothaíonn ceart. Fiú mura bhfuil mé foirfe fós, níl mé ag iarraidh stop a chur leis an teanga. Sin an chaoi a bhfeabhsóidh mé. Agus, mothaím go bhfuil an domhan tuillte a chloisteáil cé chomh hálainn is atá sé 💜

"A fun spooky sketch I did of my dear boyfriend Rox for Samhain last year"

GAEILGE
Péintéireacht dhigiteach de shintéiseoir Rox, agus súile an chnámharlaigh inchinne faoi ag lonrú ag borradh faoin bhfísléar. Tá sraith fiacla brioscach aige freisin, rud a fhágann go bhfuil cuma níos beithíoch air ná mar is gnách.

ENGLISH

reject commercialism, embrace culturalism. if you want to learn more about Irish paganism & folklore, i highly recommend the Candlelit Tales podcast. It's hosted by 2 native Irish siblings with a passion for reviving traditional Irish storytelling. here's a relevant example! youtu.be/EY5wokOOYcs?...

Dearg Due, Malzeno 🦇🪷🌕✨️ [2021]

#art #artsky #monsterhunter #malzeno #monhun

GAEILGE
Péintéireacht dhigiteach de Malzeno ag eitilt trasna spéir dhearg, faoi sholas na gealaí. Rinneadh an saothar ealaíne seo a luaithe a fógraíodh Malzeno, mar thit mé i ngrá léi láithreach 💞
Is é "Dearg Due" ainm ollphéist ársa miotaseolaíochta Éireannach, bean neamhbheo a bhíodh ag féasta ar fhuil na bhfear. Ba í an chéad sampla de vaimpíreachas i miotaseolaíocht an Iarthair agus is í sin bunús Dracula agus vaimpírí níos déanaí. Ar ndóigh, is dócha go bhfuil a fhios agat é seo má tá tú ag léamh i nGaeilge ;)

ENGLISH
A digital painting of Malzeno flying across a red, moonlit sky. This artwork was done as soon as Malzeno was announced, because I instantly fell in love with her 💞
"Dearg Due" is the name of an ancient Irish Mythological monster, which was an undead woman who feasted on the blood of men. She was the first instance of vampirism in western mythology and what Dracula and later vampires are based on.

probably also worth mentioning that the only reason England kept the north of Ireland is bc they threatened us with genocide if we didn't. literally, they threatened to wipe the entire island out and bring the Irish to extinction. so uh, there's that

𝔊𝔞𝔢𝔩 🍀 ᚛ᚌᚐᚓᚂ᚜ @gaelst0rm.bsky.social · 19d

as well, while much of Ireland is independent today, the northern section is still under English control, and they're still being oppressed by the English. racial slurs for the native Irish exist and are still used today. this history is relevant bc we are still being victimized today

𝔊𝔞𝔢𝔩 🍀 ᚛ᚌᚐᚓᚂ᚜ @gaelst0rm.bsky.social · 19d

bear this in mind. you were introduced to Halloween because an indigenous, marginalized people was escaping an oppressive genocide. bear this in mind before you treat our traditions with mindless disrespect.

the great potato famine was not just a famine, while our potatoes were in fact blighted, we had other crops we could've eaten for our harvest. England kept robbing us of those crops for exports, bc they cared more about the economy than the lives of the Irish.

btw in case you weren't aware (most aren't), the English colonized the Irish in the 1200s and maintained oppressive control over us for roughly 700 years. during this time they committed at least 3 major genocides against us, starving us out and destroying our land. they criminalized speaking Irish.

"samhain" actually refers to the start of November, not the end of October. Ancient Celtic time keeping considered sunset to be the start of the next day (night, technically- we viewed the day as part of the night). the real name for the night of celebration is actually Oíche Shamhna, Samhain Night

druids were not gender exclusive, and were often female. we didn't really use the word "witch" for magical people until we spoke English. "fairies" isn't even a good English word to describe the síoga either, due to the feminization of the word. síoga could be any gender or no gender at all
