#gráinne mhaol

[jo-the-bass-stealer]

atla canon rewrite where sokka and zuko are girls day three (well it's day four rn but I forgot to post yesterday)

imagine little sokka asking her dad to bring her out sailing, but he says no bc her hair is too long, and it would get caught in the rigging (years later she realises this was bullshit bc a lot of the men had long hair too but being 6 she didn't think of it at the time). so she goes home, gets a little knife, and cuts all her hair off in crazy clumps. she marches up to her dad as soon as he comes back and he's like WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOU HAIR??? she just says "it's not too long now."

hakoda takes her out sailing the next day. after her mother fixes up her hair a bit, of course. to this day, she still keeps the sides shaved.

Every time I think about Gráinne Mhaol I want to cry. Why oh why must she be called Grace? Why is Granuaile so disgusting to look at? Grania is…bad but actually not too bad in comparison to what else there is. Gráinne is not a hard name or an unusual name. I know multiple Gráinnes. I will completely accept Gráinne O’Malley instead of Gráinne Ní Mháille or Gráinne Ó Máille (which she reportedly used) because that’s still the same name effectively. Grace and Gráinne have nothing to do with one another except beginning with G and being a virtue. Is it so hard to respect someone’s name?

Bhí Gráinne Mhaol iontach tabhachtach dom mar fear beag trasinscineach, so táim ag iarradh an ceist a chur

Agus má tugann tú freagar, beidh sé deas chun do fhéiniúlacht(anna) a chur sna tags, so bheidh níos mó eolas ann!

[gonzoinamaskandcape]

ok so as an irish person, i have complicated feelings about the pirate queen musical (i just think that the show as a whole might have benefitted from a bit more input from irish people) unfortunately ill be there is one of my favourite all time songs and honestly its probably for the best its not on spotify bc if it was i would listen to literally nothing else

grace o’malley, pirate queen of ireland

“legend has it that when grace was young, she wanted to travel on an expedition with her father. she was told she couldn't go as her long hair would catch in the ship's ropes. to embarrass her father, she cut off most of her hair which earned her the nickname "gráinne mhaol" which means bald grace.”

“during her life, some considered grace a bold and courageous heroine; others thought of her as a cutthroat thief. whatever the case, grace chose an adventurous life that was rare for a woman in her time. the o'malley clan's motto, "powerful by land and by sea" was an accurate description of grace herself.”

#OTD in 1594 – English expedition sets out from Galway to kill pirate queen, Gráinne Ní Mháille (Grace O’Malley).

England used Galway as a launching pad for capturing the Pirate Queen, Gráinne Ní Mháille — and failed miserably. Gráinne Ní Mháille was chieftain of the Ó Máille clan in the west of Ireland, following in the footsteps of her father Eoghan Dubhdara Ó Máille. Commonly known as Gráinne Mhaol (anglicised as Granuaile) in Irish folklore, she is a well-known historical figure in 16th-century Irish…

mustelid monday!

I had a couple of requests for ferret pics ( @weirdsociology​ @stripedroseandsketchpads​ ), so here goes. I’m not putting them under a cut because everyone deserves to enjoy them :)

Also I stg they are different ferrets, but yeah, working out who’s who does often involve a process of elimination. The first four are siblings, who were referred to as the pirates because they came to the rescue from Penzance. So they have pirate names.

1) Gráinne Mhaol (aka Grace O’Malley aka Not-the-Face Grace), scourge of soft plastics, bullyer of brothers

2) Somerled, a good Hiberno-Norse pirate name for a lilttle berserkr. He wants to eat you. In a mostly friendly way.

Mostly.

3) Longjohn. Because ferrets would love to be allowed to go up your long-johns! And you’d almost trust this lad, he’s a sweetheart.

4) Hook. When he decides to hook those teeth in BOY do you know about it. But mostly he’s just a big lazy potato. Too beautiful for boiling, mashing, sticking in a stew.

5) Frobisher. Not a pirate! The only chap we still have from the Arctic exploration gang (we had a Tuunbaq and Lulik (<pualulik, an Inuk word for a baby seal that I probably made meaningless by splitting like that, but we liked the sound and it suited her).

Frobisher is the kind of guy who would get excited about iron pyrite and you’d just have to have a mutiny against him. The most pathetic wet rag of a ferret. But we love him. He thinks everyone’s out to bully him, when really they just want to use him as a comfy pillow, which he’s ok with.

6) Calico (aka Cally). This boy’s got Fashion - not an albino! But he did come with the pirates, so he gets a pirate name. The rescue mostly palmed albinos off on us because they’re slower to get adopted, while we don’t mind what colour they are. But Cally’s allergic to Outside, so he had to come with us and be an inside ferret. He’s got sqeaky lungs and he loves to cuddle :3

[sraithpics]

If you could spend a day with anyone from Irish history, who would you choose and what with you do with/talk to them about?

I think it would have to be Gráinne Mhaol, I bet she would have some great stories. I'd love to hear her tell her life in her own words.

Isidora Pires

A writing gift I did for Tun @rheethecharr where I created a VtM Gangrel for her! Introducing Isidora Pires, with mentions of her Lasombra friend (who will get her own stories later).

Note, like all games in the World of Darkness setting, VtM is strictly 18+. And, like all kindred, Isidora is a monster. Do not expect her to be a good, kind person.

Gráinne Mhaol, Queen Of Pirates – Miracle of Sound

Isidora Pires is an imposing woman. Tall, bulky, and owns a voice that carries hard and gets attention fast. The type of person one wants to be friends with, but you still feel weary of in some way.

Oh, how odd kine can be.

Other kindred however? They count on her for many things. Underground, shady things. Get your car in working order, make you a mini-tank, make your gun kick ass things. Be your muscle if so needed.

A lot of them often wondered how she became the biggest ally for their best driver, Dionísia. The two of them came into town years ago, with the Gangrel loudly laughing and the Lasombra carrying the head of a clan mate.

They all learned quickly not to ask questions about their past. Oh, but they wanted to know. Everybody did.

But, as she is with everything else, Isidora’s imposing nature keeps question askers at bay.

After getting Dionísia’s makeup done for the night, Isidora turned her attention to her other tasks. One does not ask a Lasombra for help and then laze about; she’d been whacked one too many times with those damn shadows thank you very much. The first order of business for the night is getting the boss’ favorite car in working order. Not too hard, except for the one thing she asked Dionísia to go get for her.

At least she could get started on it now.

Standing on the mat into her workshop, she removed her boots in order to pull on her coveralls. She may be undead, but there was no reason to let her get too covered in oil. Not now anyway; no use pulling off the hard working gal look where there weren’t other women to swoon over it. Wheeling the toolbox over, she removed the creeper roller from the specially made rack attached to it.

Setting it down, the Gangrel removed several tools, laid down on the roller, and disappeared underneath. It was time to get to work on the old pink Cadillac, remove any problems. And it wouldn’t hurt to give the ol’ girl a much needed check up, eh?

Several hours later, Isidora was waiting on somebody. Most of her work done, she sat on a stool and waited for the person to show up already. Seriously, how long would it take...BAM.

Looking up, she saw Dionísia standing there, box tucked underneath her arm. Hair? Perfect. Makeup? Perfect, on point, she did an amazing job. Attitude? Er...indecipherable. Probably best not to ask. Instead she got up, walking over to take the package from her.

“You’re the best Fracturada! Knowing the others I wouldn’t have gotten this until tomorrow if I was lucky.” She grabbed a pocket knife from her pocket, flipping it open to start removing the tape from the box.

“Yeah, whatever you say Onça,” there was a knowing tone to her voice, a little smugness. The Lasombra knew she was the best driver there, but she didn’t openly admit it. Why should she? Everybody knew, especially the Gangrel.

Though she knew that back when they first met, when they were still alive.

She soon found her prize, holding up the part and grinning. Hard to find, harder to convince somebody to fork it over. However the mere mention of the boss’s name did wonders, like always. It held weight, meaning, a threat if you would. Taking the part, she laid back down on her roller and went underneath.

It took her about five minutes to put the part in and snap it in place.

Rolling out with the broken part that was replaced, she looked up at her friend who was watching. Always watching this one, never needed to ask what she was doing. Though she’d never admit it, Dionísia was pretty well versed in knowing how things ticked. She watched, she asked, and she learned.

And Isidora loved it.

After stripping out of her coverall and putting her shoes back on, she went to the sink to start washing grease off her hands. Her phone pinged, and she turned to the Lasombra who gave her a look before picking it up. Using the attached keyboard to tap in, she looked at the text message and raised an eyebrow.

“You need to hurry up it seems.”

“What’s up?”

“There’s rumors of a fight about to start at the bar, boss wants ya there pronto.”

Oh, this was going to be fun.

Devil’s Dance Floor – Flogging Molly

Isidora was not wrong about this being fun.

As soon as she stepped into the bar, the fight was clearly two seconds away from starting. The two groups heeded her no mind before just lunging at each other. She knew Dionísia was watching from behind her, and she tilted her head in silent communication. Their eyes looked the people over, deciding how hard she could rough house.

Two groups of humans, being stupid, possibly drunk.

Damn, gentle it was.

Without saying a word, the Gangrel motioned to the other bouncers who all leapt in with her. They began to pull them apart, shouting to knock it the hell off. However, one of them decided that he believes in equal rights.

Including punching a woman.

Sadly for him, said woman was Isidora.

It took not even half a second for him to realize how stupid that was as he was just lifted in the air. He could see the wheels in her head turning, deciding what to do about this slight. He could sense that she was stronger than him, and could easily hurt him to the point that he’d have multiple casts.

Instead, she spoke, “Don’t do that again.”

He nodded, and she let him down, releasing his shirt. The fight stopped, much to her dismay, and the other bouncers started chewing the humans out for their stupidity.

However, she nodded to Dionísia who nodded back. The two left the bar, walking back down the street to the shop. There was a few things left to do before the boss arrived for her car.

And they wanted to be presentable.

About an hour later, the door to the shop opened. Looking up, Isidora smirked and tossed the Cadillac’s keys towards it. The person in the doorway caught them, smiling as she stood in the shadows. The boss was happy, very happy.

And that, as always, was what Isidora wanted.

Isidora Pires is an imposing woman. Tall, bulky, and owns a voice that carries hard and gets attention fast. The type of person one wants to be friends with, but you still feel weary of in some way.

And it is in your best interest to feel that way.
