hearing the first 4 notes of megalovania

hearing the first 3 notes of hopes and dreams

hey I really love your blog and you have me interested in reading some medieval lit. I don't know if you've ever answered this before, but any book recommendations for must reads or for people first starting to get into medieval lit (esp. since I know it can get very hefty)

i feel like i must’ve answered this at some point but i can’t find it so maybe i didn’t, maybe it was on my old blog, who knows

it kind of depends what kind of medieval lit you’re interested in to be honest! i mean, my specialism is irish lit, so i have a lot of recs for that, but i know… fuck all about middle english (okay, that’s not entirely true, sir orfeo is great), and i am def not the person to ask about old english bc i haven’t even got around to reading beowulf yet

some texts i guess

• the táin [irish] - carson or kinsella’s translation is your best bet
• early irish myths and sagas [irish] - ed and trans jeffrey gantz. ignore most of what he says in his intros to the stories, a lot of it’s outdated, but the translations are solid enough
• tales of the elders of ireland [irish] - ed and trans. dooley and roe
• the mabinogion [welsh] - go for the sioned davies translation, it’s the best and most recent
• beowulf [old english] - i’ve been told heaney’s translation is pretty good tho not literal/academic. i wouldn’t know.
• the poetic edda [old norse] - caroline larrington’s translation is the best i think
• snorra edda / the prose edda [old norse] - literally can’t remember who translated the copy i have and it’s not in the same city as me right now, RIP
• lais of marie de france [medieval french] - don’t have a rec’d translation but they’re good. bisclavret is my fave. guigemar gives me sad ace-spec feelings.
• the knight of the cart and the knight of the lion [medieval french] by chrétien de troyes - these are my faves of the four romances anyway. i guess you could read erec et enide and perceval also but. eh.
• lancelot of the lake [medieval french] - ah yes the non-cyclic old french prose romance lancelot du lac. sadly only available in abbreviated translation by corin corley, also, out of print so secondhand is your best bet unless you can read old french. very gay tho. i enjoy.

uhhhh that’s pretty much all i got right now, it is very much a non-exhaustive list (as you will note it contains zero middle english). have tried to go for the things that are easy to get hold of in non-academic editions so they’re not crazy expensive. some of these are actually v cheap on kindle if that’s your jam.

hope this helps a bit!

ETA:

if you are looking for snorra edda (snedda) you can find it here

also i should add that there are lots of translations of irish texts at CELT (corpus of electronic texts): https://celt.ucc.ie/transpage.html. they just tend to be older translations (bc they’re out of copyright) so not necessarily as accessible, the books i listed above are kind of. the easiest way in.

im an expert at fgo baby i know all the advanced strategies

• mlb kaleidoscope
• cu alter double merlin
• 3 turn skadi cheese
• bond 10 heracles
• shi huang di solo

galactic-tier problem solver

moth solo isn’t even a stall tactic because depending on enemy hitcounts it’s mad easy to stack their np two and sometimes even three times which means one buster crit will delete an entire hp bar

whenever a bossfight just absolutely fucking sucks I go for the moth solo and it always works

cool thing about this dashboard update is that infinite scroll is now on by default but works worse than before

kuyuan :

When the intricate, rippled engraving that spans the Chikage’s blade is imbued with blood, the sword sings in scarlet hues.

I was thinking of that interview where Miyazaki said he asked the artists to design weapons to feel like something you could entrust your life to on the battlefield, something that prayed for your victory.

Though I don’t think the chikage particularly cares if you win or die, it just wants blood. Yours does just fine.

Also, happy Sekiro release everyone! Enjoy this darling katana until I get the chance to play and hopefully make art for it *~*

with sasaki’s return appearance I’m sure I’m absolutely certain that jack will show up again too because. what greater way to honor the god of fortitude that saved you, than the strength of will to fight for the humanity that now nigh-universally hates you

fellas is it gay to be able to see other people’s emotions and devolve into a serial killer because the only time you’re not looked upon with scorn and disgust is when your victims are overcome with fear and it’s the closest thing you know to love until you learn what genuine love looks like from the man you met a little under half an hour ago and have been trying to kill that entire time because he simply unconditionally loves humans and the ways they strive for good while being evil and in response to that love your finishing blow is you symbolically taking your life in your hands and offering it to him in a move you call “dear god” and as you leave the arena victorious but shaken to your very core all you can think is how you want to see him again

huge fan of the brador school of “can’t have tainted blood if you got no blood”

vyragosa :

good morning im still thinking bout the sheer catharsis of heracles vs jack the ripper

also I realized that shiva vs raiden is the first fight where the human side is more physically imposing. raiden even got a headstart on shiva by just dropkicking him instantly. can you imagine how fucked up it’d be for shiva to be denied his turn several times getting hyped up as god of destruction the whole time only for him to be a jobber
