The Dagda, the first born and powerful chief of the Tuatha dé danann, he’s Married to the goddess the Morrigan. The Dagda is a god of many things, such as: fertility, strength, fatherhood, magic, weather, plant life, druidry, wisdom, life and death. To accentuate his many faceted qualities, his title of ‘the Dagda’ means ‘the good god’ attesting his excellence at all things. He may be the true identity of the god Briain, the first son of Donn and Danu. Briain, underestimating his own strength, killing his father in an attempt to free his other siblings from his parent’s embrace. The Dagda was also a major player in the wars against the Firbolg and the Fomorians. The Dagda’s role however wasn’t as great as his brother’s: Nuada. But when Nuada was injured in battle, the Dagda carried him back to safety.
Like most of the Irish Celtic gods, after christianization, the Dagda’s divinity was stripped away, with Christian writers depicting him as a mere sorcerer. But his popularity endured, those same Christian writers immortalized his myths in written form. The Dagda was also commonly conflated with the Norse Odin, as well as being connected to the Vedic god Varuna.

whenever I feel sad, overwhelmed, stressed or plain disgusted with life I watch some unhinged British TV (especially comedy panels and shows)
No cure like that
*warning - obsession with comedy shows has been revived

Dara's outfit additions for CoC3.
Enjoying that all of them apart from the 'wait, what?' Are team task moments.

Photo
[ID: Eight screencaps from Taskmaster. Dara Ó Briain, Fern Brady and John Kearns stand in a row behind Greg Davies. Dara is holding a round paddle saying “HELICOPTER”. He says, “Which aircraft...” Fern continues, “...crashes more...” She laughs as Dara falls to his knees with his head in his hands. Alex Horne laughs with his hand over his face. Crouching on the floor, Dara wipes his eyes, his bald head flushed. As Dara recovers, Alex asks, “John, would you mind finishing off the question?” John says, “...into mountains?” Fern and Dara double up with laughter again. End ID.]
