little bits of irish history for curious hozier fans: street signs edition

Do you love the song Butchered Tongue? Pay attention to these lines here:

So, may I draw your attention to the The Official Languages Act 2003 (Section 9) Regulations 2008 (S.I. No. 391 of 2008).

ok stay with me

In 2008, the Irish government passed legislation that made it mandatory for road signs in Ireland to have both Irish (Gaeilge) AND English names on them (or, in Gaeltacht areas where Gaeilge is still the first language, only in Irish). Here’s an example:

The Irish, or Gaeilge, is always above the English and italicised. This is because that while Gaeilge and English are both official languages of Ireland, Gaeilge is the ‘first’ official language

However, while it was technically only legislated in 2008, bilingual road sings in Ireland had been extremely common for decades prior to it officially being made law. In fact, the first bilingual signs date back to the early 20th century - before our independence from Britain!

In Tom Spalding’s book Layers: The Design, History and Meaning of Public Street Signage in Cork and Other Irish Cities, he found that the first recorded bilingual street sign was in Blackrock, Dublin (An Charraig Dhubh, Baile Átha Cliath). Their local council in 1901 rolled out yellow and black bilingual road sings as part of the Gaelic Revival.

The Gaeilc Revical was a period of time in Irish history that saw a huge resurgence of Gaelic art, sport, and language. Literature was written by Irish people about Irish history, current affairs, and folklore. Traditional Irish music was learned and played again. Gaelic games (Gaelic football and Hurling) spread across the country. And Gaeilge, our language, was to experience an incredible revival.

Despite Ireland’s long colonial history, Gaeilge actually remained the majority tongue until the early 19th century. However, a combination of teachers beating children for speaking it at school, the genocide of the famine wiping out mainly poorer communities more likely to speak Gaeilge, and the knowledge that speaking English unfortunately provided more opportunities than Gaeilge, the language was almost killed off. (This is shown most clearly after the 1800 Act of Union that meant Ireland was ruled directly from London, with no parliament in Dublin).

Although these maps make for grim viewing, Irish is so very far from dead. Our children learn it from the ages of 4-18 in school (though I believe it can and should be taught better, but I digress). Gaeltacht communities are still going strong particularly in the west of the country. There are more Irish-language schools (gaelscoileanna) than ever before.

And every day as we pass by road signs that display Gaeilge proudly, it is as a result of decades, centuries of people refusing to stop speaking our mother tongue despite incredible violence.

I am far from a fluent Irish speaker, despite my 14 years of learning the language in school. But what Gaeilge I have, I have proudly.

(The work isn’t over, however. I do not feel knowledgeable enough to speak on Northern Irish efforts to implement more widespread bilingual signage but anyone who wishes to share some info please do!!)

i cant tell if ragnaros looks better with the legs or without. or if his classic look is better than his cataclysm look

his classic look barely has any armour so i think that takes the cake. but has no leggies ... so that's a hard one i guess

BLACKROCK ( doesn’t ) RULES !

"With the Zionist regime as its proxy, the US government is pursuing a policy of attempting to crush the entire population of Gaza with the belief that this will inflict a strategic defeat on the regional Axis of Resistance. This strategy represents what could be Washington’s final bid to reassert American dominance over West Asia and dismantle governing forces indigenous to the region.

When we talk of the collective West, we are really discussing a tyrannical empire with its headquarters in Washington DC. It should be clear by now that the European nations are not independent in any meaningful sense, and the interests of their governing officials are those of the corporate elites. The Israelis are also in this fold and, evidently, hold considerable power through their extensive multi-national lobbying campaigns, yet in this case have become the convenient proxy force and attack dog to prove a point to the Global South.

If one is to look into mega-corporations in the West, the likes of Vanguard and Blackrock to name a few, it quickly becomes obvious that their interests are inherently intertwined as they quite literally own each other and are therefore working for their own collective success as mega-corporations. Why talk about mega-corporations when assessing US foreign policy in West Asia? Because 'The West' as we know it is no more than a collection of mega-corporations to begin with. Its democratic elections have been revealed to be shams, as all viable candidates work for the donor class and not the people who vote for them. Even the experts that Western politicians trust to shape policy for them are directly financed by the same corporate elites, with every major think tank that helps frame the opinions of advisors being on the same payroll. ... Instead of viewing the policies of Western nations as representing any kind of desire to serve the interests of the working people that reside there, we must remove the notion that any of these governments work on behalf of the populations that reside in these countries. Instead, they must be viewed in the same manner that Arab regimes like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are, in that they may occasionally take their populations into consideration but ultimately serve an agenda that works to the benefit of the despotic ruling elites. In the case of the Western empire, they pursue global dominance and seek to undermine indigenous self-determination, because this represents the single greatest threat to their tyranny. " Robert Inlakesh for Al Mayadeen, "US Empire believes that defeating Gaza is defeating Axis of Resistance," 14 March 24

Been thinking a lot about the Phighting Faction Leaders. Last that I checked, not only was it confirmed that each faction had its own leader, but that the four leaders would be/would be related to Korblox, Redcliff, Overseer, and Darkage. But who rules what faction, exactly?

Well, let’s start with something simple. Darkage is the leader of Thieves’ Den. Not only is the map Darkage Cliffs specifically said to take place in Thieves’ Den, but all the Roblox Darkage gears were made for a made-up group called the Darkage Ninjas, and Thieves’ Den seems pretty strongly tied to Japanese culture.

Next off, another relatively simple pairing for who rules which faction: Korblox rules Blackrock. The Korblox Roblox gears were made for the Korblox, a group of people, (barbarians? Zombies? Or both, I forgor), who live in an icy wasteland, and I’m pretty sure Blackrock has a cold, icy climate and is located in the mountains.

But then that leaves the question of which factions Overseer and Redcliff rule, which seems complicated at first, but can be figured out via the official lore for these made-up Roblox kingdoms and clans that their gears are made for, and based on the Phighting lore.

Redcliff rules Playground. Playground and Blackrock are said to be enemies, and who else are said to be enemies? Korblox and Redcliff. If Korblox rules Blackrock, then Redcliff would have to rule Playground, Blackrock’s main enemy.

And then that leaves Overseer as the ruler of Lost Temple by default, although, with all the teal/green associated with Lost Temple and the weird potential cult activity that lines up pretty well with the Overseers’ weird cryptic nature, Overseer does seem to be a pretty solid fit as the leader of Lost Temple. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Overseer ends up being directly involved with the cult activity, perhaps even being the leader of whatever cult is going on. But Overseer is probably going to be one of the richest demons alive, that too.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed the ramblings of a sleep-deprived maniac. Have a good day/night.

guys guys guys. hear me out guys i have a random nerdy headcanon. what if when hyperlaser was younger he was kind of rebellious (without getting himself killed because i feel like blackrock would be fucking insane with its rules) and snuck out of his faction a lot to do stupid shit. wouldnt that be awesome.

also bonus for the hypertana shippers. what if hyperlaser sneaks out of his faction to meet katana sometimes, therefore bringing out his rebellious side from back when he was younger JUST to see katana even though he could be getting himself killed. wouldnt that be cool. guys im going crazy

James O’Keefe - EXPOSES BlackRock Employee, Revealing “Evil” Intentions Of Global Ruling Class

Intro post yahoo!!!

hello i've decided to make a rp acc for an au of subspace i've made, the whole au is practically the same as phighting, it's just the confrontation between subspace and medkit was instigated by medkit and subspace lashed out in self defense the profile pic is a place holder till i either get art for this blog or draw my own

Mod account is @one-idiot-one-braincell i'm a fictionkin drop by and look at how cringe i am or whatever :)

some base rules

Stray away from NSFW, i may be an adult but i don't feel comfortable with NSFW things

No proships, do not bring that here

Try to be civil in normal circumstances, you are allowed to be rude to subspace but don't go too far

anyone is welcome to interact as long as you follow the rules

More information about subspace and the au under the cut!

She found out she was trans when she was looking in a mirror and said she didn't like how she looked, and one of the biograft's mentioned she could be trans

She had no father and was raised by a mother who, back before she was a cracked egg, said she'd end up like "all men" and be a hostile monster who would only hurt everyone around her

Medkit lied about the situation, telling everyone subspace instigated the attack and caused the rest of the phighting cast to shun her

Subspace uses She/They pronouns!

Subspace hardly eats or sleeps

Subspace started working at Blackrock at the age of 5!

Subspace sees each and every Biograft she ever made as her child, and is VERY protective of each one, to the point she would put herself way in harms way to keep them safe

Subspace has a scorpion tail! she can inject venom but she doesn't, she puts a cork on her tail tip to avoid harming others, for fear her mother's words would come true, she read the frog and the scorpion alot as a kid.

THE WORMHOLE, OR VECTOR WORMHOLE, IS AN ANOMALY LOCATED IN A PARTICULAR PART OF BLACKROCK. ITS MOST PROMINENT EFFECT IS REARRANGING THE WAY ANY BEING THAT ENTERS ITS IMPACT AREA FUNCTIONS UNTIL THEY ARE NOT THEMSELVES ANYMORE, AFFECTING YOU MORE THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO IT. ALSO AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU DEPEND ON IT SO MUCH YOU DISSOLVE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO LEAVE. WE ARE ALL.. STUCK IN HERE, ESSENTIALLY.

MONOCHROMATIC NIGHTMARE? "IVORY"?

..I AM DEFINITELY NOT FAMILIAR WITH THOSE. SEEMS THIS IS A CASE OF BOUNCE AFTER ALL.

...ARE YOU ALRIGHT? SECOND.. CREATOR?

Alright as I can be, I’m- alive annd mostly intact!…. Mostly- and that’s all I can hope for… jeez thats sounds- pretty bad! There has been no such case here but.. I hope there is someway you can eventually leave, sounds hellish just being there with no way out…

Almost the whole world over here is in black and white, ruled with an iron fist by some bitch named Ivory Periastron…

Also, since Rythian won the Yogs sexyman poll and Zoey won the Yogs sexynotman poll, Blackrock is OFFICIALLY the sexiest series. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
