You Can Drool Over Your Vanilla Gay Wizards All Along, I Have My Niche Crack Ship As A Hill To Die On

Important to me that Hob Gadling is not understood to be a good man. Or at least; hes been a bad man for far longer than he had been a good one. He was cruel, before he was kind, unthinking before considering, violent before he was mild. Greedy, greedy, greedy. A different kind of greedy, but there exists no man who wishes for immortality that is in any way satiable. Hob is a man who wants for simple pleasures, yes. Fighting, eating, sleeping, fucking. But he probably has killed men for want of things, (hes been soldier and reiver and highwayman and bandit before a printer, and certainly before scholar.) He's probably killed men for less. Im sure there is SOME moral code, but he for a very long time, this is not a good man. Stop treating him as such. I hope we see Hob kill people.

I still hide you

in my poetry

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

That's why she's a 10

She’s a 10 but she’s protecting her heart

mucho like pero ningún "buenas noches mi amor"

i think it is very depressing that like every aesthetic people try to emulate are of people doing things but they themselves are incapable of being somebody that does things… the mall goth 2005 aesthetic revived in 2022 but nobody goes to the mall to be annoying and weird and nobody lets themselves be cringe… the cottagecore aesthetic but nobody knows how to raise gardens or live self sufficiently … the dark academia aesthetic but nobody actually reads books…. The obsession of looking like you are a type of person who does something without actually doing anything … the Instagram effect

Why can't they just like forgive the English? /sarcastic

Ireland grapples with singing of pro-IRA chant

Country debates whether chant is legitimate expression of national pride or an affront to victims of the Troubles

The footage went viral and triggered a row about glorifying the IRA’s campaign during the Troubles that has left Ireland grappling with fraught questions about national identity, pride and history.

The controversy swelled when Celtic Symphony topped Ireland’s iTunes charts and people were filmed chanting the chorus at a Dublin airport pub.

Northern Ireland’s unionist leaders asked the taoiseach, Micheál Martin, to use his influence to curb the practice, calling it an affront to those injured and bereaved by the IRA. John Baron, a Conservative MP, told the House of Commons it marked a “low point” [sic] in relations between the UK and Ireland.[...]

The phenomenon coincides with the ascendance of Sinn Féin. Once an IRA mouthpiece with fringe support, it is now Ireland’s most popular party and appears poised to lead the next government.

A recent poll put combined support for Sinn Féin and smaller leftwing parties among people aged 18-34 at 73%. The party’s promise to fix a housing crisis and redistribute wealth has driven the surge, but many supporters also adopt the party’s defence of the IRA campaign. “As Sinn Féin grows, past violence is retrospectively endorsed,” one commentator, Newton Emerson, wrote in the Irish Times.

Opinion in Northern Ireland, where Sinn Féin has become the largest party, has shifted: in a recent poll, 69% of nationalist voters agreed with the party that there was “no alternative” to violent resistance during the Troubles – a reversal from 1998 when 70% of Catholics rejected republican justifications for violence.
