health has gotten to the point where I'm too weak/shaky and in pain to draw so sorry if I'm gone for a bit.
asked pcp for a neurologist referral but who knows when I'll actually get in to see one.

Hi! I was wondering if there was ANY indications of head coverings being used for religious purposes in 'celtic' (insular celtic if possible) traditions before Christianity?
Hi there! Thank you for the question.
From what I understand, no. There is of course no certainty as in all things of this nature we cannot be 100% on anything. However there is little to no indication that head coverings were used in a ceremonial fashion. All I can find are references to crowns or diadems.
That doesn't mean headwear wasn't worn of course, there seems to be some surviving examples of head coverings usually in the forms of bonnets, these do seem to be much more practical in nature however.
There was a very prominent tradition of catholic veiling in Ireland, my grandmother apparently had to wear one to mass as a child but that's mostly done away with now. I believe women were supposed to cover their heads while receiving the eucharist. This is however a distinctly Christian practice.
The Cailleach I believe is can mean "hooded one" but this has a latin root word, which generally in Irish implies something after catholic influence(link)
There is a wide array of pagan veilers if that is something you are interested in(link). While it certainly does not seem to be an pre christian celtic practice you can still do it if you want to. If you're the hardest of hard reconstructionists then maybe not, but like you can just do celtic recon stuff and wear a head covering, as long as you aren't claiming it to be a super secret ancient celtic practice, no harm is done. Who would stop you?

The Vampire Aesthetic
Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.
Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.
Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.
“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?
Everyone freezes.
Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.
“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”
Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.
He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.
People are weird! He doesn’t judge!

will never forgive what corporations have done to feminism and how they have brainwashed countless young girls into thinking this new wave of feminism is how it should be. that they are rebelling by not being basic yet still being as pretty as humanly possible at all times. that the best place a girl can be is a ceo. that womanhood is sacred and divine and specific and cant be dirty or ugly or annoying or come in different shapes and sizes. we are slowly turning back to being pure and beautiful as possible through some warped ass tiktok “spirituality”

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
