She had never played Gaelic football before, but something about the rough grass and the smell of fresh air made her feel like she was meant to be here.

This book is set in 12th century Scotland, during this time called Caledonia: meaning From Scotland. It's about a daughter of a king wanting to be a knight. Which was a big no no. Big oof! I thought this would be fun to write. I'll be doing research as I go along the story and put the sources I used at the bottom of each chapter as well as a reference page. Just in case you want to look at them. I'm not very good at descriptive words but yeah, here you go! Hope you like it

Words from both Irish and Scottish Gaelic that i found really pretty 💚💙

Two strangers-one human, the other inhuman-are thrust into an enigmatic world, one that feels as alien as it is unsettling. Neither remembers their past, identities, or how they came to be in this strange place. All they have left are their names and an inexplicable, powerful sense of loyalty to one another, a weird bond that went over time and memory. As they explore their new surroundings, they encounter others; locals of a world split into small pocket lands, which they call "layers". Haunted by fleeting, cryptic visions and driven by the need for answers, the pair ventures deeper into the unknown. Along the way, they must confront both external threats and the inner turmoil of discovering who-or what-they truly are. With each step, the mystery of their relocation unravels, revealing not only the secrets of the world they now inhabit but also the deeper, more unsettling truth of the lives they left behind.

And the fiddler was laughing. We all were. His feet burnt and bled and nobody seemed to care that the ground was painted red. And he laughed and danced along. Running now in sprinting circles, a maddening ceilidh. His legs felt heavy as stone and he was frozen in that granite dance. Screaming and laughing. And nobody heard.

This is a list of names for characters. I will be updating the list as I find more names. For the real and mythology, I will provide the meanings of the names. Feel free to suggest any names that I have missed.

This is my first try at expressionist writing, so expect rather trash, emotional pieces. Some pieces may be in Gaelic, as when writing, or even speaking, the language feels so much more emotional and easy to express with. So hey, on the rare occasion, you may even find some Gaelic trash instead of trash written in English.

idk it's my ocs and their shenanigans

In the town of Neamh, in Iowa, every 50 years on Samhain (Halloween), all the young children are rumored to vanish. The last vanishing was purported to be in 1970. The next vanishing is supposed to be tonight. Deirdre Harper has a young child, and thinks it's all local superstition. Is it?

SOMETIMES, I forget that we are ruled by our emotions, fear, love, hate, hope. Some believe love encompasses all but for me, I believe its fear that drives us all. I might be wrong but fear is all I've known for most of my life but if you do insist, I ask this. Why did mother leave me I this dark, dreary and cursed place? The darkest of all the forest: The dark wood forest. Was it her so called love for me that pushed her to do so or was it just plain old fear doing the talking. Well, it's been 12 years since that day and I'm afraid all happy, loving memories have been tainted ever since. We've become close, fear and I. i feed it, harness it and wield it against the dangers of my home and in return, it sustains me, gives me purpose, keeps from consuming me but in a sense, I have already been consumed because I am fear and I will always be fear.
