Saint Christopher (commissioned by @LambsAspen) 🐶🧡

as legend goes, St. Christopher served in the Imperial Roman Army during the reign of Emperor Decius (249-251 AD). He later converted to Christianity & even carried a child across the river who was later revealed to be Christ.

@swordhobbit @moonlarking I said that Tolkien is not to be blamed for the modern pseudo Celtic cliches in fantasy as the comment suggested. Bc proportionally, there wasn't that much of overt Celtic inspiration in his work 🗿I have seen and shared the video earlier, thank you

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@moonlarking probably a bit of both KEKW

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@moonlarking Fair, I won't argue with you, I see you're more knowledgeable on the Celtic aspect as you're doing that academically. I might have underestimated the influence because of the professor's own words kekw

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@moonlarking There sure is some. I guess it boils down to that I feel there isn't much connection between the modern pop-celt elves and what was coded in Tolkien's work. I can't draw the causal line from Tolkien to the fantasy >celtic cliches op points out.

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@moonlarking Eh, I would argue it's more like 2/3rd Germanic, 2/3rd of the remainder Celtic and the rest others. I feel like his Celtic inspiration is overstated post hoc bc of the trends that came later. But not necessarily from his work (welsh in sindar into full Celtic coded modern elves).

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@metalgearsa1ad @manjimagatsu clarification, I worded it badly: I meant that Celtic (or other) cultural influences on Tolkien's work weren't as major as the Germanic ones. He would be moreso responsible for pangermanic fantasy tropes rather than panceltic (as there wasn't that much of those in his work).

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@metalgearsa1ad @manjimagatsu That's simply not true. Tolkien took very little inspiration from the Welsh/Celtic cultures, or any others in fact. The vast majority of his worldbuilding is Germanic-based. So no, he definitely is not to blame for that.

[moldypaw 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 @moldypaw]

@moonlarking I agree that I worded it badly with the "very little" part. What I meant is that there wasn't as much of it as the Germanic influence. No need to be this antagonistic lol
