I thought Kein had an army of zits accounts. Whatever happened to those?

@The Smiling Pony
 
I’m wondering why unregistered people can upload images.

For reference, Kein commissioned this, which is the reason he keeps uploading it. Amusingly as an unregistered user, so it wouldn’t actually show that he was involved in it at all.
 
The annoying part is since he never, ever talks back to us (except to insult us, of course), we have no way to, you, add a note on the description, or hell, maybe even change uploader credit (if the original uploader would be OK with that).

@RIG  
I’ve only heard rumors and vague words, the internet equivalent of old, drunk sailor stories, so I would like a wiki like that.

>get away with it  
dude…you have no idea…Kein is not normal…he is harder to kill than fucking Kratos…TSP could write a whole wikipedia page about the “Kein”.

@RIG
 
Seriously? And here I am getting shit for delayed tagging and someone gets away with stuff like that?

@RIG  
Oh, ok then.

@Aegis Steadfast  
this pic has been reposted like 5 time by kein by the only reason that he is butthurt over the fact someone else posted it, my last comment doesn’t have context anymore because the last dupe was merged.

@RIG  
Yeah, I’m going to second that what.

@RIG
 
What? What’s going on?

for fuck sake kein…give up already

If there is one thing I never liked about the conversion efforts by the early Christians, it will be how they did their best to not syncretizing or at least preserve as cultural practices, the rituals of the previous people and religions. Sure, it would have been harder and all that, but culture is valuable.

Beautiful work!

Well, I was aware of the basics that a lot of modern Fantasy is an amalgam of European mythologies, including Celtic mythology, but I wasn’t aware that its influence was that huge.
 
From that point of view, Celtic heritage is broader than it may appear at first.
 
I’m Orthodox myself, but here in Russia, we also have Pagan communities. Not really into the whole ritualistic part, but it’s definitely a piece of culture worth keeping, I think.

@Radiant Heart
 
Trippy now yes, but it was religion then. A lot of the “fantasy” creatures we have now in popular culture were dreamed up by the early Celtics. It would have been perfectly normal for them.
 
I have a marked fascination with them, being a modern Pagan myself. Granted, much of modern Druidism is actually more based along Anglo-kin reinterpretations of ancient Celtic beliefs, since, as I said the Celtics didn’t write shit down. But, their descendents did, after of course their beliefs had inter-mingled with the Norse and Germanic beliefs….I’m pontificating on a pony board again, I really need to stop doing that.

@Zincy  
Sounded frighteningly like tripping…

@Radiant Heart
 
Few are, they tended not to write down a lot. Modern artistic representation of Celtic art typically look like this. Lots of plants and magical beings boppin around.

@Zincy  
Not all that familiar with Celtic culture, thus, my assumptions lay elsewhere.

@Radiant Heart
 
I’ve seen quite a few pictures of Horses having their mane stroked by Fae folk long before this. I would have just assumed it was a Celtic image.

About 1.5 years ago, before I was introduced to MLP:FiM, a picture with a (winged) unicorn having its hair brushed by fairies in a magical forest would cause me to cringe for usual (urrrrgh-so-ghey) reasons.
 
But now I actually find it several kinds of cute, adorable and lovely. What has MLP done to me :P
