#OTD in 1650 – Kilkenny surrendered to Oliver Cromwell.

The success of Oliver Cromwell’s Irish campaign during the autumn of 1649 caused further divisions in the Marquis of Ormond’s Royalist-Confederate coalition. With the defeat of British and Scottish forces in Ulster and the defection of most of Lord Inchiquin’s Protestant troops to the Parliamentarians, Ormond was obliged to rely increasingly upon Catholic support. Early in December 1649, the…

The State of the Place

A recent post here about the neglect of historic buildings in Drogheda, County Louth attracted quite a lot of comment (see: Where The Streets Have No Shame « The Irish Aesthete) but its miserable condition is by no means unique. Everywhere one travels in Ireland, the same circumstances prevail, the core of cities, towns and villages suffering the same shameful neglect, buildings left boarded up…

to this day one of the strangest situations i've ever been in is, in the year of our lord 2023, having a debate with a middle-aged woman from texas who was trying to write a graduate thesis over whether or not it was utilizing girl power for american colonist women in the 1770s to remain loyal to the british empire. i think about it a lot.

#wow look something original!!#also the reason i was interacting with her at all is that she had come to our museum to ask us if we knew of any loyalist women in our town #and we said. No. and she said are you sure.#and we said ma'am there were 18 families here at the time of the revolution and they were all scottish or irish. we're sure.#and then she stayed in our museum for another hour arguing with us about our OWN STATE #shes so lucky that my boss was there or i mightve been angry enough to try and fight a grown woman

i think michael and adam should to move to a tiny coastal village in ireland (under the pretense of adam wanting to ‘reconnect with his ancestral roots’) because that way all of his weird behaviour (talking to thin air, staring at something for an hour straight, etc) would just be written off as him being ‘a yank’

#i think itd be cute. i think itd be sweet. i think im projecting missing ireland onto midam #they could also enjoy a lot of other small irish village experiences! they wouldnt even be the weirdest ppl in town! no thats aul gerry #and his collection of carefully preserved salmon heads #and adam not knowing how to use modern technology wouldnt be a problem because nobody else would either!#anyway. midam culchie era real #midam #adam milligan #spn michael

A Model Village

‘What immediately strikes the stranger is the substantial and comfortable appearance of the mill and its surroundings. At Bessbrook each house consists of from three to five rooms, according to the size of the family occupying it. Every arrangement necessary to promote cleanliness and health is resorted to. As you pass up, some of the first buildings you come to are the schoolrooms, which are for…

#OTD in 1942 – Birth of artist and musician, Phil Coulter, in Co Derry.

Coulter’s father, also called Phil, encouraged music in the house. He played the fiddle whilst his wife played the upright piano. The younger Coulter recalls this piano, made by Challen, as ‘the most important piece of furniture in the house’. ‘I always stayed away from the fiddle, having inflicted enough pain on my family with the piano,’ he laughed. Coulter confesses that he came close to…

increasingly feel like if your idea of the perfect life isn't a 3 bed semi-detached in a car-dependent housing estate of identical houses for you and your 2.5 kids, Ireland just isn't the country to live in.

#Ireland does not do urban living well at all #god forbid you actually WANT a decent-quality apartment in a dense urban development with public transportation and lots of amenities #Irish planners still clearly view apartments as temporary things for young people getting on the property ladder #the vast majority of apartments here are TINY and poorly constructed #any that are actually decent are wildly expensive #like #this isn't manhattan here #we have one of the lowest population densities in western Europe #we do not need every apartment to be the size of a closet #and/or they're on the very edge of the city where you don't even get the benefits of being close to town

@fluctuating-fanby | 👀

You have opened a can of worms by allowing me tot talk and I appreciate it so much! ...I accidentally deleted the post but shhh... it's fiiiine.

First please enjoy a quick and easy map of how the Desert is laid out!

The capitalization is deliberate! It is a desert, but this one is specifically the Desert. It has some mild degree of sentience, and is protective over it's chosen Voices.

Each city is connected to route 800 through two exits, and this means that say... people in Night Vale can travel to Red Mesa without going through Desert Bluffs, just near to. Somewhere on the map is a secret, hidden 7th town called Radium Cavern.

A note on all the voices: There are 3 sets of 2. Red Mesa and Cactus park, Night Vale and Desert Bluffs, and Haven Lake and Pine Cliff (Radium Cavern is weird). The same applies to the towns themselves. Additionally, each Voice has two main people in their family, none of which are the same. (Ie. Kevin and Cecil have an older sister, Emory and Edward have a twin brother).

The impossible geography is never mentioned or made a note of. It’s treated as perfectly normal. So onto the the towns themselves!

Towns

Night Vale Central Horror: Probably surveillance mixed with some more eldritch aspects. Emotion?:Suspicion Voice: Cecil Palmer Distinguishing geographic feature: Flat, dry scrubland Common NPCs or other fun facts: Theseus Noble (weatherman— he and Ted are Doubles, Rian is not). More or less canon compliant-- in the particular AU where these cities originate, it falls to Strex.

Desert Bluffs Central Horror: Business Emotion?: ...Joy? Voice: Kevin Distinguishing geographic feature: sand dunes (The reason why Strex uses Kevin as their Voice, instead of killing him and replacing him with someone loyal is due to this! They nearly did his first re-education, until the city itself started to sink into the sands. Strex decided it was better not to kill him, and it stopped. The Desert is mildly sentient thing and it protects its chosen Voices). Common NPCs or other fun facts: Vanessa (radio intern), Ted (weatherman), Dan (Vanessa's brother, former intern, current mayor), Maddy (Kevin's sister), Jocelin (Maddy's kid), sometimes Daniel (producer- former human, under Strex made into a biomachine).

Red Mesa Central Horror: Space, to a smaller extent, aliens. Emotion?: Guilt (They took in a decent number, but no where near enough refugees and escapes from Desert Bluffs as Strex became more entrenched) Voice: Pandora (Probably the most well-adjusted one of them to be honest). Distinguishing geographic feature: Mesas-- the city proper is built on the largest one of these. Common NPCs or other fun facts: Zadie (would have been Vanessa's fiance. Left DB when Strex came), Pandora's father (schoolteacher), Pandora's Uncle.

Cactus Park/Stone Meadow (Eventually it will become Cactus Meadow, but that's still a ways off-- the art is discordant as a result_. Central Horror: Beauty (The reason it's split is the town itself is. Half of it values a sort of unnatural beauty-- everything is fake, plastic. There's a massive income of plastic surgery. Stone Meadow values the beauty in the natural world instead. The two sides do not get along). Emotion?: Disgust Voice: Persephone (alongside Kevin, they are the most physically altered Voices; she keeps her third eye closed, but can, if so desired, open it). Distinguishing geographic feature: Cacti Common NPCs or other fun facts: Persephone's father (Left the city when Cactus Park became more powerful. Stone Meadow through and through), Persephone's Uncle (Agreed with Cactus Park, powerful figure in community). For those who go under the knife, it's tradition to keep a locket of what they looked like before

Haven Lake Central Horror: Religion Emotion?: Devotion Voice: Emory Hable (he and Edward’s tattoos are both still. Edward because he is a ghost, and Emory, in the great flood, died very briefly… and saw nothing. No God, no Heaven. His tattoos didn’t start moving again). His tattoos are grey/white. Distinguishing geographic feature: The entire city is built on a lake. The original city suffered from a drought one year, and then there was 40 days and 40 nights of rain, creating the lake. The original city is long gone. Common NPCs or other fun facts: Lisette (Radio engineer), Rian (weatherman, Lisette’s brother), the other two or three (as yet unnamed) people who work at the radio station, Cyrus (Emory's twin and defacto leader of the city. Head of the church), their mother. Has a sort of vintage vibe to the whole city. The city has virtually no cars, but does have an incredibly refined trolly system.

Pine Cliff Central Horror: Ghosts Emotion?: Acceptance Voice: Edward (His tattoos are black vines) Distinguishing geographic feature: Cliffs! Pine trees! You would never guess it's inside a desert. Common NPCs or other fun facts: Edward's twin and their mother. The Doubling effect of the cities is why Pine Cliff is a bunch of ghosts and not wiped out, and why Emory is sort of perpetually caught between.

Radium Cavern Central Horror: Knowledge Emotion?: Pride Voices (a set of triplets): Cassius, Elijah, Penelope Distinguishing geographic feature: bioluminescent phenomena inside the cave the city is built in. The central bell-tower is called the Citadel.

#Kevin|character #Kevin|headcanon #Emory|character #Emory|headcanon #mute the sound|out of character #Rian has a massive crush on Emory- Lisette is aro and mocks him for it #Haven Lake is entirely hc #the others are (slightly) grounded in canon mentions #the stone meadow/cactus park thing emerges from #the wiki for stone meadow saying that #'It is possible Stone Meadow may have been an earlier name for Cactus Park as the two share the same sports mascot'#some definite Irish peacewalls inspiration there #the idea is that they're all essentially fragments of what would #have in an ideal world been one whole #the 7 radium cavern dots represent the 7 towns
