I can't make any promises, but, by (incredibly popular) demand, Shaun Davey's suite *might* be making a brief cameo in my next paper on Gráinne ní Mháille.
@MarieTheuerkauf @HarvardCeltic@FSAnglistikBonn @MSCActions We'll be very glad to have you! (Also, we might have to hit up The Hourly again, I don't have the excuse to go when it's just me.)
Little reminder that I am now a freelance girly and available for illustration projects and workshops!
If anyone has any drawing they want doing, please get in touch (I'm honestly very lovely)

@Amylouioc Bonus if you say that the TDD are the Seelie and the Fomoiri are the Unseelie -- Put those medieval figures BACK in their historical context or so help me God.
Several tales make it clear that Oisín and Patrick are having a conversation. Sometimes they speak with quite a degree of civility. Versions of Laoi na Mná Móire (such as https://t.co/ymtlGD9rrb) see them speak in a friendly manner at the start and end of the tale.
Tá Mí na Féile Pádraig linn! With St. Patrick's day coming along soon we should remind ourselves that it was Patrick and his scribe who supposedly collected the stories we know and love from Oisín or Caoilte. Oisín and Patrick had many debates, not always good-natured
@ShanRoseParker My best friend from my program in Cork had a XBox, and so I played through the entire series while I was there, as soon as it was possible to visit other people when the pandemic was called. I can't overestimate how much those games meant and still mean to me.
I'm not including BG3 just because it's ongoing, but Fable II, which got me through a pandemic, Endless Ocean, which nearly convinced me I wanted to become a marine biologist, Valhalla, which I've made so many friends and connections because of, and the one that started it all.
Retweet with photos of games that hold a special place in your life.
Here are the four games that would most define why I make games today:
The feeling of adventure of Grandia.
The poetic tale of FFX.
The unique beauty of Homeworld.
The epic journey of Tales of Symphonia.
@aliciaandrz@AcademicChatter Sometimes, something stuck out to the students that isn't on the formal agenda for the section -- if so, strike it, because explaining why the texts work a certain way, imo, is more important.
@aliciaandrz@AcademicChatter The first thing I do, each section, though, is to ask them what they THOUGHT of a specific text, inviting them to be subjective. This might seem to be unacademic and counter-productive, but it helps me gauge the feeling in the room and what might need to be explained.
