A bit more about…

Blodeuwedd

Lleu Llaw Gyffes

Gwyn ap Nudd is the king of the Welsh underworld.

I see a lot of American cryptids and mythical creatures on here, so I thought I'd share some of my favourite creatures from here in Wales! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Afanc

A crocodile and beaver type creature. It lives in welsh lakes, and sometimes Conwy river. It's a demonic creature that eats anyone who swims in its home.

Ceffyl Dwr

Similar to the Scottish kelpie. It inhabits mountain pools and waterfalls. North wales lore says it's quite evil and foreboding, whereas south wales lore says it's quite a friendly creature. I'm north Walian so this is our version: It entices people to ride it and then evaporates mid air, so the rider falls to his death.

Llamhygin Y Dwr

The Water Leaper. It's a bat/frog/lizard hybrid. It lives in lakes and ponds, snapping fisherman's lines and eats livestock and fishermen.

Y Ddraig

The famous welsh dragon, featured on our flag. Legend says that Vortigen wanted to build a castle right where 2 dragons were said to be sleeping. When they started digging, they found 2 dragons fighting, one white and one red. The red dragon won.

Gwillgi

Similar to the English black shuck, gwillgi is a fearsome black dog who haunts rural welsh roads at night.

Coblynau

Gnome like fairy creatures, they live in Welsh mines. They help the miners find the rich veins of ore and other treasures by knocking.

Cyhyraeth

Similar to the Irish Bean Sidhe, y cyhyraeth is a disembodied moaning voice that foretells death.

Cath Palug

Palugs cat was an enormous cat that lived on Anglesey. It killed 180 warriors who were sent to kill it.

Adar Llwch Gwin

Griffin type creatures that were gifted to Drudwas ap Tryffin by his faerie wife. They understand human language and obey commands.

Cadair Idris

Translates to "Chair of Idris". Idris was a huge giant and this mountain was his chair. Legend has it that if you sleep on this mountain, you'll either wake a madman or never wake at all. I've actually been here, it's not far from my house.

Hope you enjoyed these few creatures from Wales!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Some amazing Aeriseph screenshots from this video here.

Sorry about the low quality of the pictures, but the video itself isn’t any better. I wanted to share anyway, just in case you don’t own a Niconico account. I thought these absolutely needed to be seen by every Aeriseph shipper like myself. :)

I love it when artists draw visual parallels/symbolism between the two characters.

Thoughts on Berserk.

As much as people want to see Griffith/Femto die a bloody death. I don't think it will happen like that, Guts story is kinda done. He's had Casca healed as much as she can be at the island.

Now I think it's her turn for a Heroine's Journey. One of the big plot points of the Heroine's Journey is the taming of the devine Masculine. For her I don't think this is Guts I think this will be Griffith. He was the one who scared her. This is her battle, to give her closure and bring this evil masclin to heel.

Lol love this.

Hyperion is known to understand and control the cosmos and seasons so I like to think that he bosses Helios and Selene around even though they already know what they’re doing because they’ve been doing it since almost the beginning of time.
