Why would one want to marry a beast? They can't hold a conversation for shit. I couldn't imagine how boring that would be.

Imagine They never spoke again. I couldn't handle it. Bitch better learn sign language.
 
Just speculating but how about a real world, smart phone-based Fallout - game? You'd look through your smart phone camera at your surroundings and walk around in it, it would be a post-apo wasteland. Every now and then rad-scorpions and super-muties would attack. You'd loot stuff etc. Could be fun.

New creatures for each state and some pokedex like facts to go with them... Yeah I'd like it. Monthly updates add new creatures. Yes. I like the idea but feel we should focus more on actual fallout games.
 
I want to live in a Celtic house.

I don't even know where Celts are from. Y'know typical American. Has no idea about the rest of the world. Anyone else have a tendency to like shitty movies for no explicable reason? I love the American pie movies. Love without a paddle. Howard the duck. Anyone got some guilty pleasure movies?

The Celts came from Northern and Central Europe, which they dominated as the most powerful people there from about 750 BC to 12 BC. They also settled parts of Eastern Europe.

I love the Celtic way of life and society, and how many of them were skilled craftsmen. I'll go into detail about warfare later.

Some were blacksmiths (working with iron), bronze smiths, leather workers, potters (potters wheel introduced around 150 BC) and carpenters. They could make elaborate and beautiful Jewellery out of precious stones and gold. They could make glass, and glass beads, decorate metal goods with enamel, and many of their swords and shields were finely decorated.

Celtic Society is also interesting. It was hierarchical; at the top were the nobles, led by a king or chieftain, then the craftsmen (metal workers were the most important), then the farmers who provided most of the food supply, and fought for the chief. There was also a slave class in Celtic England.
The Celts were separated into tribes, with no political unity at all and a whole shit ton of fighting.

Celts grew crops in square shaped fields and raised pigs, sheep and cattle. They could brew beer from barley. Grain was stored in pits lined with either stone or wicker, and then sealed with clay.

Trade with Europe was often. Metals like tin, iron and lead were exported from England, with grains, cloth, wool and skin being imported. At first, the Celts used Iron Bars as currency but got onto using gold coins by 50 BC.

I always wanted to live in a Celtic House. They used low tables, benches (that could be beds too), with a fire in the middle, and the walls were wattle and daub. Most were built around a central pole, with horizontal poles going out from the central pole, and then that resting on vertical poles.

There clothes were way better than ours. Men would put on tunics and trousers, with women wearing long dresses. Rich people wore torques, gold ornaments. Many had moustaches, but not beards. Music was played from flutes or lyres. As a makeshift hair gel, men used lime water to make their hair stand on end.

They had religion, led by druids, who worshipped many Gods. Druids were also scholars who advised chiefs and were judges.
The best bit is they didn't build temples like Rome and Greece did. They worshipped in natural places, like tree groves or lakes. To please the Gods, valuable things were thrown into rivers and lakes.

They had the best hobbies ever. They were fucking cool.
In good weather they held chariot and horse races, and hunted wild boar on horseback. Also, they played board games and played music.

Dead people were buried in individual graves like we do. They were buried with goods, showing a strong belief in the afterlife.

They had a load of festivals. I'll cut and paste this for you, since its a lot to type.
Imbolc at the beginning of February at the start of the lambing season, Beltane at the beginning of May, when cattle were sent out to graze in the fields after being kept indoors and fed on hay during the Winter, Lughasad in August when the crops were growing ripe and Samhain at the beginning of November. That was the time when animals were brought in from the fields for the Winter. The Celts could not grow enough hay to feed them all so those not needed for breeding were slaughtered.

Women had many rights in Celtic life, far more than the Romans.

Moving on to one of the most badass bits, Celtic warfare.
About 650 BC the Celts introduced iron into Britain and they made the first swords. Warfare was common throughout the iron age, and many hill forts (basically fortified settlements) were built around that time. The Celts fought from horses or light wooden chariots. They threw spears and used swords. The Celts had wooden shields (many decorated) and some wore chain mail.
