Saying that, there is no in between in The Mabinogion. Either everyone is incredibly kind to one another, lavishing gifts and sweet words. Or you have characters like the fucker Efnysien who take great pleasure in maiming and killing ☹️

No one prepared me for how much of a chuckle-fest The Mabinogion would be!

An Irish lord sees a monstrous, (emphasis on) UGLY man and woman emerging from the lake of the cauldron with a massive cauldron on his back. Waits to greet them and says "Well. How are things going with you?"
LIKE, DUDE. RUN 🤣🤣

The amount of "Between me and God"s I've encountered in the first few pages is giving me the giggles.

Arawn having a big old bitch to Pwyll about his manners and he kicks off with "Between me a God" 😂 incredible.

Exquisite illustrations!

Year 3. Ah fuck, oh shit. Math took you and bro's piglet son and is raising it as his own. And now you're a she-wolf and bro's a wolf and it's your turn to get knocked up again. Fuck.
But hey, last year you gotta do this. When you come back this time, you're back to being a human. Gonna be weird hanging out for you two going forward I think

Year 2! Guess what - Math takes your fawn son and raises it as his own and then boom! Now you're a boar and he's a sow! And now you gotta knock your bro up! Now let's see how year 3 goes...

did you and your bud violate Math, son of Mathonwy's virgin whose sole duty is to hold his feet in his lap when he's not away at war? One year of you being a hind and your bro a stag...and you're getting knocked up! I wonder what happens in year 2...

Finally have time to finish reading this woooo
