From next long distance relationship question
What will RO (in relationship) react when MC go visit RO after long months they didn't see each other?
Irus: He's definitely going to cling to the MC and refuse to let go.
Elora: A lot of dates and spending time just talking to each other.
Oren: He's just happy to be reunited with the MC and will happily do nothing if it means they're together.
Anu: A lot of holding, smooching and other behind-closed-doors activities.

When creating the new Australian National University in 1946, the Australian parliament can probably be forgiven for being far too polite to ever raise the suggestion that the acronym ANU may one day lead to problems.
And so it is in the year 2023, that Australia's highest ranked university has to regularly remind people not to add a possessive 's' to their name in headlines, lest the web address be shortened like so:
Likewise the unfortunately named ANU Sports has to go to great lengths to make sure that their name never appears as an acrostic, or on a single line without spaces:
But the award absolutely must go to the ANU Soccer Club magazine, cheekily named 'SCUM' by a student in the 90s much to the ongoing horror of design teams to this day

Finally finished Anu's bio after fiddling around with the aesthetics forever !!
Accessible version of the bio below the cut. Wingdings, zalgo text, binary, morse code are all translated, and the untranslated portions are omitted for screen readers. Caps-locked text is moved to normal sentence case for readability.
[Image description: A circular icon of a simulation of the cosmic web, a sponge-like texture where areas of high density are a warm pinkish orange, and areas of low density are a deep purple.]
[Wingdings text, translated: "Anu, the Universe"]
The Eternal Cosmos, the World of Worlds
[Binary text, translated: creation and destruction and stagnation]
[Wingdings text, translated: boundless]
[Morse code text, translated: recognition reconstruction]
The Cosmos was infinite. The Cosmos was unfeeling. The Cosmos was ambivalent.
The very fabric of spacetime buckled and dipped and bent and curved. Strings of galaxies twisted and wove together to form one great tapestry. Nebulae bloomed and collapsed. Stars shone brightly before winking out. Ravenous black holes tore atoms apart.
Billions of years of this. It was all the same in the end. The Cosmos was infinite. The Cosmos was unfeeling. The Cosmos had seen it all before.
Yet still, a hunger grew deep down. Curled and tugged and churned; itching, burning, blazing. The cosmos became aware. The Cosmos became curious. The Cosmos had not seen this before.
The hunger pointed towards a planet. Nothing more than a small speck of dust. Insignificant, were it not for this novel feeling. The Cosmos watched and saw.
It saw petty wars and bloodshed. Anger, hatred, phobia of the unknown. Haste and desperation. Destruction of the self and mutilation of the other. Dragonkind and beastclans and the ones who came before. Unimportant beings clinging to old ways, trembling in fear of impermanence, blinded by ignorance as they were on that small rock, unable to touch the endless universe beyond. Bound by the limits of space and time, they knew nothing but the violence that their world had been born into.
But the Cosmos also saw great kindness. In this great pool of chaos, life had found its way towards connection and companionship. Parents hugging their children close, lovers embracing after long departed. Friends comforting friends. Strangers saving strangers. Communities congregating and growing together, voices raised in unison, plant roots weaving together, a hand held in another. Each creature connected to the next, each a part of a larger whole: a great web of life, strung together like galaxies in a supercluster.
In this single, small little rock, the Cosmos saw itself.
It made a decision. As this planet's lifeforms reflected the Cosmos, so too shall the Cosmos reflect them.
[Wingdings text, translated: bounded]
[Morse code text, translated: rebirth protector]
It began like how the cliffs of a canyon erode: particles of sand scattering in the breeze, falling away millimeter by millimeter over millions of years. It began like how a new forest grows from barren land: blades of grass reaching for the sun for the first time, giving way to shrubs and saplings, until ages later the grass is overshadowed by the arching bows of ancient trees. It began like how a spider weaves its web: string by string by string until a grand tapestry is born.
It began like all things do. It began slowly, a series of minuscule changes unseen in the larger structure, but changes nonetheless. It began with hydrogen atoms and charged particles ejected into the galactic wind. A slow trickle, molecule by molecule, drawing closer together over time.
Atoms and molecules gave way to gas and dust. Dark clouds of it clustering in the empty space. Instead of collapsing under its own gravity, it stretched its limbs out. Arms, legs, head and tail - a mimicry of what it had witnessed on that small planet. It wiggled its fingers and blinked its eyes and marveled at the sensation of a body.
It took on the form of a dragon. Hydrogen its circulatory system, stars its nervous system. Dust clouds condensed into muscle and bone. Nebulae bloomed into wings. Each heartbeat a supernova, each blink of the eye the spinning of a pulsar. Mathematical physics a mimicry of magic.
The planet was named Sornieth, and it had ensnared the Cosmos itself in its orbit. It had become the center of the Cosmos, the world of worlds. The Cosmos cradled the planet in the palms of its stardusted hands and vowed to protect it.
As long as Sornieth existed, so would Anu.

That voice is the same voice you heard on the same night that
everything glowed, took you into the air,
and the arms of the Universe kept you from falling.

Now bare with me because this gets kinda fucky
I don't believe in The Godhead theory
I do however believe there is something in The Elder Scrolls universe that is old, ancient, powerful
Older than aedra and daedra and anything in between
Something that exists beyond that of Mundus Aetherius The Void and all other realms of existence
Something that views all other beings as beneath it and insignificant
Whatever this thing is it has existed for quite sometime and may have even been primordial
Hell it might be what created Anu and Padomay in the first place
Whatever it is has no physical form and those who have seen it have ceased to be
Not necessarily dead but just non-existent
This thing has no known information not even Hermaeus Mora or The Elder Scrolls could tell you what it is
Think of it as (as much as I hate the man) Azathoth from H.P Lovecraft but without the possibility of reality being it's dream just something ancient, powerful, immoral, undying incomprehensible and beyond time, space and existence
The idea of such a being existing in The Elder Scrolls universe is something very fascinating and yet also very terrifying

Utu-Shamash
Utu (also known as Shamash, Samas, and Babbar) is the Sumerian god of the sun and divine justice. He is the son of the moon god Nanna and the fertility goddess Ningal in the Sumerian tradition but was known as Shamash (Samas) to the Akkadians who claimed Anu or Enlil as his father.

Book Review The Book of the Great Queen by Morpheus Ravenna
Over all I found this book to be an excellent source of information for people just looking into Na Morrígu or people who are familiar with some basics but want to get more details. It is not as much geared towards those who are already deeply familiar with na Morrígu or Irish mythology.
Now, my one personal critique is that I feel Morpheus takes a few liberties when it comes to facts and their opinions/theories on different subjects. That is NOT to say that they do not present a well researched argument because they absolutely do, I just think that in a few instances throughout the book their own opinions or views overshadow alternative interpretations or emphases. An example, in the discussions on prophetic practice it is framed in a way that implies (in my opinion) that the Irish only experienced prophetic inspiration via dreams/sleep trances (again this is all backed up by solid research and information) but then goes on in the very next section to discuss Fedelma while neglecting to add that Fedelma's prophecy was given while apparently wide awake and without ceremony, implying additional ways which prophetic inspiration could be achieved. These are admittedly small, personal, nitpicky critiques, but they affected me so it felt necessary to note.
That being said this book is an excellent idea for those getting starting or wanting to sink their teeth more deeply into na Morrígu and will remain one of my 'recommended reading' books

What if MC behaves with their children the same way Alf treated them? MC loves his children and will protect them and won't let anyone say a bad word about them, but they are cold and distant. What will be the reaction of the RO?
Even after all the damage the MC went through as a child, you'd still want an MC like Ahlf 😔🥲
Irus: He doesn't know what a good parent is supposed to look like but he knows for certain it isn't how the MC is acting. He'd try to talk to the MC to tell them that they need to be more present with their child.
Elora: She definitely knows how painful it can be to have a distant parent and will give the MC a good talking-to so that they can remedy their issues before it's too late.
Oren: He's happy enough to give his and the MC's child extra love and attention but will have a heart-to-heart with the MC about their actions/behaviour when they're alone.
Anu: She wouldn't notice anything wrong with the MC's distance unless it started to negatively affect their child but if it didn't, there's no problem here.
