Yay for Gaelic & Freeborn Minglings
I have no idea where to post this but I was actually wondering if it was just me or if the background changed on the Freeborn page -- Here.
I thought the edges didn't have writing on them so now I'm curious...
"Bean mo chroi" is on the page on the left (means 'Woman of my heart')
On the right is "Ni heolas go haontios" (this means "There is no knowledge without unity" or something to that extent).
I think it's cute -- but is it just me? Is it new? Or did I miss something completely?
This amuses me to no end for some strange reason...

Now that you mention it, I don't think it was always there. I think it is a recent thing. But, it is a very nice touch.
I love all things Irish. If there is going to be some sort of prevailing culture in the movie, I definitely think Irish is the way to go. (Unlike the OVERWHELMING number of werewolf artists who go with native). A slight hint of Irish culture in Freeborn would enhance the mood, I think (based, of course, on what my perceptions of the mood to be).

well, if that's the case, i.e.: with the gaelic being used on the front page, maybe we could play off that in the werewolf slang thread. i know a little gaelic, i looked up what i needed for my webcomic online.
fael=wolf
mag=paw, that of a wolf or other canine
i'll be sure to look some other stuff up if you guys would like me to. post a list for me and i'll look up the words for you.

i'm just stating what i know and what i think, if you don't like it, you can leave me alone.
i am the well-read werewolf
moon= re
silver= airgiod
blood= creoth
howl= burral
these weren't the only finds, but they fit the idea best. there are different words for different contexts, but in the context of a werewolf, these words would be about accurate.
and actually list the words, i can't guess all the words you are interested in.

It's been there since June 14. I even translated it, much as you did.

...sorry ;) Being half-Irish at least, my relatives showed me what a real party is like. Heh.

I think for Freeborn, it might be a good idea to leave out the drunkenness.

Re: Yay for Gaelic & Freeborn Minglings
ITs been there for awhile. I believe AB said the second (Ni heolas go haontios) was more towardss "You don't know someone until you live with them" or something. My memory's bad. But it's suiting for Freeborn (Just think of the guy saying it being Jack, then it fits. )Ink wrote:I have no idea where to post this but I was actually wondering if it was just me or if the background changed on the Freeborn page -- Here.

Re: Yay for Gaelic & Freeborn Minglings
Yeah. That's in there as one of the more loose definitions. It's a proverb/saying so technically it has some figurative standing. I guess in the end it's how you want to frame it.Aki wrote: ITs been there for awhile.

It still amuses me. A lot. For no apparent reason...
I can't find my copy of Boondock Saints to satiate my lust for Irish boys with guns. Damn it.

I have the Freeborn background on my laptop and thought the words looked Gaelic, but figured I was going dyslexic That is pretty cool though. My screen name on a different forum is "Faoladh Gaelige" which is supposed to be "Gaelic Werewolf" Erin go Braugh!
