My Fitzsimmons headcanons that nobody asked for
Okay, I would just like to state that this is my first time writing long posts like this, so it’s definitely not aesthetic and stuff, but I tried alright 😭 These headcanons are mostly about Alya tbh (and her relationship with Owen) because she’s definitely one of my favourite characters.
1. Jemma is a horrible driver. She got her license after moving to Perthshire by some miracle, but she only drives when it’s an emergency and Alya isn’t with her. The last time she borrowed Fitz’s car, she got three speeding tickets in one day.
2. They don’t want Alya to skip too many grades so that she can have some sort of social life, but they agree to let her skip two years after a lot of begging from the little girl.
3. Alya gets an offer to study at Coulson academy when she’s only 13, despite not having any PHDs or degrees, but it’s an easy offer to pass.
4. Daisy visits them ALL the time. Coulson sometimes jokes that she only returns to Earth to see Alya. She always rolls her eyes, and goes to stay with him and May for a while after.
5. Owen Shaw turns out to be Bobbi and Hunter’s kid. They change their names after the Romanian police puts them on the most wanted list, and move to Scotland- because they know Fitzsimmons live there.
          -Fitz facepalms when he finds out. But he’s less devastated once he agrees that atleast it’s Hunter and Bobbi’s kid that his little star ends up with.
          -They obviously introduce her to Owen when she’s still very young, and Jemma tries to ‘give them hints’ countless times throughout the course of their friendship. Alya’s smart, though, and figures out that something is up. Her parents tell her the truth not too long after that.
6. Alya and Owen turn out to be best friends, and when they’re young- they decide to ignore everything their parents said about their future altogether, pretending they never even heard.
7. When she was 13, Alya once put hot pink streaks in her hair after looking at old photos of her Aunt Daisy. It looked so bad that she had to cut off a part of her hair only two days in. That’s the last time she ever experiments with her hair.
8. Daisy and Jemma call each other sisters barely a year after their last mission, with Jemma often saying that her sibling is out of town when Daisy’s back in space.
9. When Alya is 16, Daisy finally convinces her to cut herself some bangs- after the younger girl confides to her that it’s something she’s always wanted to do. Fitz almost bans her from visiting Alya completely, but Daisy just coolly replies that she has to ‘be the cool aunt somehow, Fitzy! Honestly!’
10. Alya goes through countless relationships in the course of her high school years, even going through a ‘heartbreaker' phase when she’s around 15. Her and Owen become distant too after some time, but they find their way back to each other.
11. Jemma starts working as a biology teacher in a school nearby when Alya also starts going to school regularly. Fitz joins as a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D. 4 years after, agreeing to go by a fake name and after assurance that there would be no stored records of his help. 
12. Alya and Owen finally decide to try dating each other when she’s 22, and he’s a little over 21. They date each other for five years... after that; they get married.
          -They have a son after two years of marriage, and name him Deke after Alya’s parents convince her that he was an old friend who helped them out during their S.H.I.E.L.D. days.
          -Alya, to this day, doesn’t know what her mother meant when she told her father ‘now you’ll have to deal with him all over again’ when Deke was born, to which her father only groaned (but she could see him smiling).

Timeline part 3 February 2022 - July 2022
Timeline part 3 covering February 2022 - July 2022 See for previous dates part 2 here
He flew back from NZ to London (not via LA) during the storm Eunice, a fan spotted him on February 19 2022 in London and reported about it. Doing promo and some photoshoots and having a little family dinner the evening before
This morning and the London Premiere of OL S6 on February 24 2022.
Again on the move few days later February 28 to NYC where he started with a conversation with Josh and a very busy schedule of promo and photoshoots. Numerous pics and fan pics. But still had time to go see a rangers game and being caught by a pap with MC which didn't take place on March 7 as the article mentions, but in the weekend before, as on March 7 he was in
LA for OL promo, talkshows and FYC panel and on a podcast of tompapa which gave away he was in LA on March 7 2022
Meanwhile we learned that his brief visit to Kansas City would be for a (quite expensive) con, on March 12 where he slipped and hit his head at the cardoor and since then has a scar
He flew back to London from there and was spotted by fans on March 15 2022. Then went to a Triumph bikers event with Nic R on March 18. Briony let us know on March 19 how she was away for the weekend working on something special, which (as suspected) was the photoshoot for the bookcover. He posted a motorbike pic from his home on March 20.
Meanwhile the OL crew was already gearing up as of mid March 2022 according to schedules of extras. And we saw the first pics in April, on April 7 S, boat scenes at the docks, 
Tumblr media
Still he had time to get to NYC on April 17 during Easter break, no not for MC but for a theatre visit at the BAM theatre seeing James McAvoy in Cyrano where he was also spotted by a fan that weekend.
And back to OL filming. Jon Muir at Dunbar was set up and reported already on April 8 2022, where we saw them filming on April 20 and some videos of the BTS pics
But seems a visit to London and a walk with Katrina around 25 April did fit in his 'busy' filming schedule also, having a drink with CB on April 29 in Glasgow. The birthday weekend was for the MPC gala and tree planting
Meanwhile Midhope Castle posted dates the castle was closed due to OL filming. And there was a live IG on May 2 with S+C.
In May we could almost follow every weekend what he was doing. As it seems AN stayed in Scotland and they were seen multiple times in Edinburgh. Beginning with the MPC Gala, birthday weekend Friday May 6 he was spotted in Edinburgh by a fan, and Saturday in the Balmarol hotel. They seem to have been at the Johnny Walker distillery in Edinburgh and a week later he was spotted at Glenturret distillery and in Glasgow for a Sunday lunch at Crabshakk Botanics on May 15. Next weekend of course was reserved for the DGR, after NIck R showing us around the house and especially the garage where the bikes were, we got a video to reveal the helmet on May 20 he'd be wearing for the DGR, the weekend started the next day at Murray field where some fans spotted him and his own selfie with his 'team'. Several pics and videos of the ride itself on May 22 and nice of Nick R to post his weekend video so we could follow it all by the minute.
Meanwhile new sets where discovered, the Hunter house
Tumblr media
And filming seemed to be going on at Midhope Castle, we got to know about nightshoots on May 27
During Pentecost weekend he stayed in Amsterdam per the interviewer of Esquire who talked to him on zoom from his Amsterdam hotel and a fan pic taken on June 4
Suspect is about to be released and he's doing promo for it, a number of interviews and a live appearance on Loraine on June 16 while he is in London, and also posts a 'father's day promo' from his hotel room at the Soho hotel. He also recorded the Gold Derby interview there and BBC the Edit on June 21
Trailers were spotted at Pollok Park in Glasgow on June 22 where filming seems to be going on
On June 25 he at the Giorgio Armani Tennis tournament at the Hurlingham Club with his mother, a fan took a fan pic with him
Next appearance is at the Highlander con in Glasgow on July 2nd, he's filmed by many (and RR) leaving the building. Of course many fan pics
Outlander filming was seen in Newmills on July 5 though most likely not all the main cast. SS was there and (as we learned later on Chris Fulton as Rob Cameron)
July 7 2022 in Glasgow he was receiving his honorary Doctor degree for the RCS and thanked them with a recycled speech. The next day (July 8) a fan posted a picture with him at juicy uk, a superfood bar
After that last pic things went a little quiet, it seems the 6 weeks break for filming had started mid July. He posted a story signing bookplates on his deck in his garden on July 22nd. The next pic he posted was on July 23, the infamous bucket hat pic, which seems to be in the area his friend from EDA Tommy had his bachelor party in Glasgow (or part of it). There were some videos, there is one where supposedly his head is seen.

D.Brown & A.R. Fausset, Church of Scotland [1871] | Psalm 27:4-5
The secret of HIS confidence is HIS delight in communion with GOD [Ps 16:11; 23:6], beholding the harmony of His perfections, & seeking His favor in His temple or palace; a term applicable to the tabernacle [compare Ps 5:7].
There he is safe [Ps 31:21; 61:5].
The figure is changed in the last clause, but the sentiment is the same.
The Treasury of David 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord, & to enquire in HIS temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in HIS pavilion:
in the secret of HIS tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me-therefore will I offer in HIS tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
"One thing." Divided aims tend to distraction, weakness, disappointment.
The man of one book is eminent, the man of one pursuit is successful.
Let all our affection be bound up in one affection, & that affection set upon Heavenly things.
"Have I desired" - what we cannot at once attain, it is well to desire.
GOD judges us very much by the desire of our hearts.
He who rides a lame horse is not blamed by HIS master for want of speed, if he makes all the haste he can, & would make more if he could; GOD takes the will for the deed with HIS children.
"Of the Lord." This is the right target for desires, this is the well into which to dip our buckets, this is the door to knock at, the bank to draw upon; desire of men, & lie on the dunghill with Lazarus:
desire of the Lord, & be carried of angels into Abraham's bosom.
Our desires of the Lord should be sanctified, humble, constant, submissive, fervent, & it is well if, as with the Psalmist, they are all molten into one mass.
Under David's painful circumstances we might have expected HIM to desire repose, safety, & a thousand other good things, but no, he has set HIS heart on the pearl, & leaves the rest.
"That will I seek after." Holy desires must lead to resolute action.
The old proverb says, "Wishers & woulders are never good housekeepers," & "wishing never fills a sack." Desires are seeds which must be sown in the good soil of activity for they will yield no harvest.
We shall find our desires to be like clouds without rain, unless followed up by practical endeavours.
"That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." For the sake of communion with the King, David longed to dwell always in the palace; so far from being wearied with the services of the Tabernacle, he longed to be constantly engaged in them, as HIS lifelong pleasure.
He desired above all things to be one of the household of GOD, a home-born child, living at home with HIS Father.
This is our dearest wish, only we extend it to those days of our immortal life which have not yet dawned.
We pine for our Father's house above, the home of our souls; if we may but dwell there for ever, we care but little for the goods or ills of this poor life.
"Jerusalem the golden" is the one & only goal of our heart's longings.
"To behold the beauty of the Lord." An exercise both for Earthly & Heavenly worshippers.
We must not enter the assemblies of the saints in order to see & be seen, or merely to hear the minister; we must repair to the gatherings of the righteous, intent upon the gracious object of learning more of the loving Father, more of the glorified Jesus, more of the mysterious Spirit, in order that we may the more lovingly admire, & the more reverently adore our glorious GOD.
What a word is that, "the beauty of the Lord!" Think of it, dear reader! Better far - behold it by faith! What a sight will that be when every faithful follower of Jesus shall behold "the King in HIS beauty!" Oh, for that infinitely blessed vision! "And to enquire in HIS temple." We should make our visits to the Lord's house enquirers' meetings.
Not seeking sinners alone, but assured saints should be enquirers.
We must enquire as to the will of GOD & how we may do it; as to our interest in the Heavenly city, & how we may be more assured of it.
We shall not need to make enquiries in Heaven, for there we shall know even as we are known; but meanwhile we should sit at Jesus' feet, & awaken all our faculties to learn of him.
Psalm 27:5
This verse gives an excellent reason for the Psalmist's desire after communion with GOD, namely, that he was thus secured in the hour of peril.
"For in the time of trouble," that needy time, that time when others forsake me, "he shall hide me in HIS pavilion:" he shall give me the best of shelter in the worst of danger.
The royal pavilion was erected in the centre of the army, & around it all the mighty men kept guard at all hours; thus in that divine sovereignty which almighty power is sworn to maintain, the believer peacefully is hidden, hidden not by himself furtively, but by the king, who hospitably entertains him.
"In the secret of HIS tabernacle shall he hide me." Sacrifice aids sovereignty in screening the elect from harm.
No one of old dared to enter the most holy place on pain of death; & if the Lord has hidden HIS people there, what foe shall venture to molest them? "He shall set me up upon a rock." Immutability, eternity, & infinite power here come to the aid of sovereignty & sacrifice.
How blessed is the standing of the man whom GOD himself sets on high above HIS foes, upon an impregnable rock which never can be stormed! Well may we desire to dwell with the Lord who so effectually protects HIS people.
Psalm 27:6
"And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me." - He is quite sure of it.
GODly men of old prayed in faith, nothing wavering, & spoke of the answer to their prayers as a certainty.
David was by faith so sure of a glorious victory over all those who beset him, that he arranged in HIS OWN heart what he would do when HIS foes lay all prostrate before him; that arrangement was such as gratitude suggested.
"Therefore will I offer in HIS tabernacles sacrifices of joy." That place for which he longed in HIS conflict, should see HIS thankful joy in HIS triumphant return.
He does not speak of jubilations to be offered in HIS palace, & feastings in HIS banqueting halls, but holy mirth he selects as most fitting for so divine a deliverance.
"I will sing." This is the most natural mode of expressing thankfulness.
"Yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord." The vow is confirmed by repetition, & explained by addition, which addition vows all the praise unto YHWH.
Let who will be silent, the believer when HIS prayer is heard, must & will make HIS praise to be heard also; & let who will sing unto the vanities of the world, the believer reserves HIS music for the Lord alone.

Dates or Time of Year for Each Nancy Drew Game
Tumblr media
whatamagicalplace made one of these charts last year. Those efforts gave me a starting point but I wanted to tweak it after doing my own research. I decided to share my final result since my version differs from hers in several ways. My reasoning for each game is discussed below; but if you have any evidence to add, feel free.
SCK: Nancy says in the opening letter she took a semester off school to visit Eloise in Florida. The banners for Senior Prom are still prominent throughout the school and the event is scheduled for May 23. Game takes place in a single day but that day could be any time in late spring semester prior to May 23.
SCK2: Homecoming banners are prominent and the event is scheduled for Sept 23. A flyer with Jake’s secret messages has a date of Sept 05, so let’s assume Jake was still alive then. The game says Nancy is there to investigate after Jake was murdered “last week.” That could mean three to seven days after the murder since it happened on a Thurs. Thus Remastered takes place in a single day but that day could be anywhere from Sept 08 to 22.
STFD: Nov 13 (confirmed with calendar). Game takes place for as many days and nights as player needs.
MHM: “Winter Festival” and Charlie studying for finals indicates late Nov to early Dec. Newspaper about the lost gold at the end is dated Mar 03; it could’ve been published after money settlement and the renovations completed though. Game takes place for as many days and nights as player needs.
TRT: December. The Spanish letter from Lisa’s friend is dated Nov 30 and acknowledges that Lisa is already in Wisconsin. By now, time should be well into Dec. 
FIN: Possibly Nov (game’s release) but there are no confirmed dates on anything. It’s likely during the school year since Maya is doing the interview for the student newspaper. Game takes place over three days.
SSH: Calendar on Henrik’s desk is for the month of April. The book version takes place during the DC Cherry Blossom parade which usually occurs last week of March or early April. Game takes place for as many days as player needs. (Early April timeline would match with end of game trailer and dates for DOG.)
DOG: Jeff’s calendar is open to April. Culprit’s log book says Sally is due to move in to the cabin on April 19. Sally says she spent four weeks at Moon Lake, implying the game starts May 18. But I really don’t see Jeff’s character forgetting to change the calendar, so either Sally moved in early or she means four weeks total including seeing the property, bidding, and the final sale plus moving in. And let’s remember there’s no safe water source, so it’s unlikely Sally could live there for four weeks straight. Sally says the dogs howled a full week before they attacked the house and then they appeared every night since; maybe Sally lasted 9-14 days with the ghost dogs. The game could likely begin anywhere between Apr 28 and May 18. Then continue for as many days and nights as the player needs.
CAR: Culprit’s emails with black market dealer date from May 23 through June 04. Harlan’s appt book opens to June 09-13 with the significant clue on June 10. Game is a single day, likely on June 10, but could be as early as June 05.
DDI: June 17 (confirmed with calendar). Single day of gameplay.
SHA: Sept 15 to 17. Nancy’s airline ticket confirms arrival date in AZ. Timeline of the game takes place in three days. (Tex’s b-day is Sept 16!)
CUR: This is anybody’s guess. Hugh and Linda were married Aug 22. The lawyer’s letter to Mrs. Drake states Linda must live at the manor for another three months to fulfill the “six-month-habitation-clause” and those six months must be consecutive in the first year of marriage. Game could be late Nov at the earliest. However, frogs are chirping when Nancy arrives at the manor which is a spring thing and Bess and George say they are attending sailing camp. The fact that no one is suggesting that Linda can leave due to health reasons and start the six months over when she’s well again makes me think the year is half gone already. So the game could also be taking place in April or May at the latest.
CLK: May 07 (confirmed with calendar). Single day of gameplay.
TRN: We see snow in Copper Gorge, but it’s in Colorado and snow can be any time of year there. Frank and Lori are wearing the puffy vests and everyone else has jackets and sweaters. Fatima says it’s the off-season now and summer is the busy season. Makes me think winter is my best guess.
DAN: Game takes place for as many days as player needs. The newspaper on Day 1 is dated Aug 28. Newspapers continue to appear through Sept 06, which publishes that the journalists are negotiating for raises and the sounds of the impending strike are occurring outside JJ’s apartment. Day 11 (Sept 07) and onward have no more newspapers appear on the kitchen table. Let’s say Aug 28 to Sept 07 for simplicity.
CRE: Mike’s calendar is set to March. Quigley’s tape recorder log updates as of Mar 28. Craven’s shipping records say his latest sample was sent to Aikens Biotech on Apr 09. Game takes place in a single day, probably Apr 09 or 10. (Mike just hasn’t turned over the calendar yet)
ICE: Newspaper in the lodge is dated Jan 13. Elsa’s resignation letter is dated Jan 15. Lodge computer says Lupe checked in on Jan 15 and she noticed the lack of maid services for days. Game likely takes place that same week, starting maybe Jan 18 at the earliest, and lasts over several days and nights.
CRY: May 31 (confirmed with calendar). Single day of gameplay.
VEN: Newspaper in the Ca’ terrace says chalice was stolen “this morning” and the police records say the theft happened Jan 25. When Nancy nabs Nico on the stakeout, the next day’s newspaper is dated Feb 03. Since game takes place over several days, it likely plays from Jan 25 to Feb 03.
HAU: Night of May 28. The wedding is set for June 01. The end dialogue says Kyler and Matt couldn’t stop saying “I love you” from when the rocket launched to four days later, which was their wedding day.
RAN: The float plane pilot says resorts like Dread Isle shut down in the summer for “hurricane season” in the Bahamas. And the game was released in July. Since we see the map that charts all of Nancy’s past cases (including HAU) so the game is after the wedding on Jun 01. But there is no reference to the current date aside from “summer.” Single day of gameplay.
WAC: The essay Mel receives from her teacher with the plagiarist comments is dated Nov 21. Since two more nights of sleep are required to trigger events in the game, we can figure that the game takes place from Nov 21 to 23.
TOT: Scott’s calendar is open to May and filled in with code until the 19th. The log book of precipitation is filled out until May 24. Game likely takes place from May 20 to 25.
SAW: The TE-Japan brochure in Nancy’s teacher tote says her exchange program runs from Jun 01 to Sept 15 with different durations of 2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, and 5-8 weeks. With no specific date in the game and the player taking as many days and nights as needed to solve the mystery, we have to settle for saying it takes place in “summer.”
CAP: Karl’s daily calendar is on page March 12. When Nancy finds the final forged email from “Markus” she remarks that it has tomorrow’s date, which is Mar 13. Game is a single night of play on Mar 12.
ASH: Newspaper and police report of Nancy’s arrest say the game is done in a single day of August 18. The fire took place on Aug 17.
TMB: It’s the desert and there are no dates on any clue in the game. Since Lily is a student and Abdullah and Jon are professors, perhaps the game takes place in summer between any busy semester/class schedules.
DED: Ellie’s notepad in the control booth says she gave the coil demo to Nancy on Oct 29. Nancy arrived in daylight hours but since Ellie is on the night shift, the demo could have taken place on either side of midnight which means the game could start on either Oct 28 or 29. (Nancy arrived 10/28, night fell and midnight passed, then Ellie gives demo 10/29 OR Nancy arrives 10/29, night fell and it’s not midnight yet, then Ellie gives the demo still on 10/29.) Game continues for as many days and nights as the player needs.
GTH: Jessalyn’s phone recorded her bachelorette party antics from the night of Oct 27 to early morning of Oct 28. Addison says Jess had vanished for the second time after sun-up. It is unclear how many days Jessalyn has been missing before Nancy arrives on the island. Nancy was deep asleep when Savannah calls her for help, which means Jess has been gone at least a full day. Then Nancy arrives on the island at night which either means it’s evening on the same day of Savannah’s call or another day has passed by the time Nancy gets there. Oct 29 is the earliest possibility. Game takes place over three nights. Likely set between Oct 29 and Nov 01.
SPY: The newspaper reports that July 14 is near and it will be the eighth anniversary of Revenant’s first attack. Alec’s letter documents that his sister was kidnapped on the first of the month and has not been seen since. Game takes place between Jul 02 and 14. While Nancy cannot sleep or change the time of day, it is hard to believe that traveling back and forth throughout Scotland’s towns and the different phases of the spy operation all take place in a single day.
MED: Summer in the southern hemisphere, so datewise it’s set between Dec and Feb. Again there’s no sleep or time of day transitions but the elimination rounds likely take place over several days.
LIE: Employee timecards are recorded through July 05, the artifact exchange log is filled out through July 06, and the packing slip on the open crate says received July 06. Game is a single day of play, likely on July 06 or 07.
SEA: Soren’s winter guest log says Nancy is visiting in January. Game takes place for as many days and nights as player needs.
MID: Minion’s plane ticket TO Austria where the game begins is dated Oct 26 and the game goes into Halloween.

Beltane
Beltane or Beltain (/ˈbɛl.teɪn/) is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. In Irish the name for the festival day is Lá Bealtaine ([l̪ˠaː ˈbʲal̪ˠt̪ˠənʲə]), in Scottish Gaelic Là Bealltainn ([l̪ˠaː ˈpjaul̪ˠt̪ɪɲ]) and in Manx Gaelic Laa Boaltinn/Boaldyn. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh—and is similar to the Welsh Calan Mai.

Beltane is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and is associated with important events in Irish mythology. Also known as Cétshamhain ("first of summer"), it marked the beginning of summer and it was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were performed to protect the cattle, crops and people, and to encourage growth. Special bonfires were kindled, and their flames, smoke and ashes were deemed to have protective powers. The people and their cattle would walk around or between bonfires, and sometimes leap over the flames or embers. All household fires would be doused and then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire. These gatherings would be accompanied by a feast, and some of the food and drink would be offered to the aos sí. Doors, windows, byres and livestock would be decorated with yellow May flowers, perhaps because they evoked fire. In parts of Ireland, people would make a May Bush: typically a thorn bush or branch decorated with flowers, ribbons, bright shells and rushlights. Holy wells were also visited, while Beltane dew was thought to bring beauty and maintain youthfulness. Many of these customs were part of May Day or Midsummer festivals in other parts of Great Britain and Europe.
Beltane celebrations had largely died out by the mid-20th century, although some of its customs continued and in some places it has been revived as a cultural event. Since the late 20th century, Celtic neopagans and Wiccans have observed Beltane or a related festival as a religious holiday. Neopagans in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate Beltane on or around 1 November.
Historic Beltane customs
Beltane was one of four Gaelic seasonal festivals: Samhain (~1 November), Imbolc (~1 February), Beltane (~1 May), and Lughnasadh (~1 August). Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season, when livestock were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were held at that time to protect them from harm, both natural and supernatural, and this mainly involved the "symbolic use of fire". There were also rituals to protect crops, dairy products and people, and to encourage growth. The aos sí (often referred to as spirits or fairies) were thought to be especially active at Beltane (as at Samhain) and the goal of many Beltane rituals was to appease them. Most scholars see the aos sí as remnants of the pagan gods and nature spirits. Beltane was a "spring time festival of optimism" during which "fertility ritual again was important, perhaps connecting with the waxing power of the sun".
Before the modern era
Beltane (the beginning of summer) and Samhain (the beginning of winter) are thought to have been the most important of the four Gaelic festivals. Sir James George Frazer wrote in The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion that the times of Beltane and Samhain are of little importance to European crop-growers, but of great importance to herdsmen. Thus, he suggests that halving the year at 1 May and 1 November dates from a time when the Celts were mainly a pastoral people, dependent on their herds.
The earliest mention of Beltane is in Old Irish literature from Gaelic Ireland. According to the early medieval texts Sanas Cormaic (written by Cormac mac Cuilennáin) and Tochmarc Emire, Beltane was held on 1 May and marked the beginning of summer. The texts say that, to protect cattle from disease, the druids would make two fires "with great incantations" and drive the cattle between them.
According to 17th-century historian Geoffrey Keating, there was a great gathering at the hill of Uisneach each Beltane in medieval Ireland, where a sacrifice was made to a god named Beil. Keating wrote that two bonfires would be lit in every district of Ireland, and cattle would be driven between them to protect them from disease. There is no reference to such a gathering in the annals, but the medieval Dindsenchas includes a tale of a hero lighting a holy fire on Uisneach that blazed for seven years. Ronald Hutton writes that this may "preserve a tradition of Beltane ceremonies there", but adds "Keating or his source may simply have conflated this legend with the information in Sanas Chormaic to produce a piece of pseudo-history. Nevertheless, excavations at Uisneach in the 20th century found evidence of large fires and charred bones, showing it to have been ritually significant.
Beltane is also mentioned in medieval Scottish literature. An early reference is found in the poem 'Peblis to the Play', contained in the Maitland Manuscripts of 15th- and 16th-century Scots poetry, which describes the celebration in the town of Peebles.
Modern era
From the late 18th century to the mid 20th century, many accounts of Beltane customs were recorded by folklorists and other writers. For example John Jamieson, in his Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language (1808) describes some of the Beltane customs which persisted in the 18th and early 19th centuries in parts of Scotland, which he noted were beginning to die out. In the 19th century, folklorist Alexander Carmichael (1832–1912), collected the Gaellic song Am Beannachadh Bealltain (The Beltane Blessing) in his Carmina Gadelica, which he heard from a crofter in South Uist. The first two verses were sung as follows:
Beannaich, a Thrianailt fhioir nach gann, (Bless, O Threefold true and bountiful,)
Mi fein, mo cheile agus mo chlann, (Myself, my spouse and my children,)
Mo chlann mhaoth's am mathair chaomh 'n an ceann, (My tender children and their beloved mother at their head,)
Air chlar chubhr nan raon, air airidh chaon nam beann, (On the fragrant plain, at the gay mountain sheiling,)
Air chlar chubhr nan raon, air airidh chaon nam beam. (On the fragrant plain, at the gay mountain sheiling.)
Gach ni na m' fhardaich, no ta 'na m' shealbh, (Everything within my dwelling or in my possession,)
Gach buar is barr, gach tan is tealbh, (All kine and crops, all flocks and corn,)
Bho Oidhche Shamhna chon Oidhche Bheallt, (From Hallow Eve to Beltane Eve,)
Piseach maith, agus beannachd mallt, (With goodly progress and gentle blessing,)
Bho mhuir, gu muir, agus bun gach allt, (From sea to sea, and every river mouth,)
Bho thonn gu tonn, agus bonn gach steallt. (From wave to wave, and base of waterfall.)[18]
Bonfires
A Beltane bonfire at Butser Ancient Farm
Bonfires continued to be a key part of the festival in the modern era. All hearth fires and candles would be doused before the bonfire was lit, generally on a mountain or hill. Ronald Hutton writes that "To increase the potency of the holy flames, in Britain at least they were often kindled by the most primitive of all means, of friction between wood." In the 19th century, for example, John Ramsay described Scottish Highlanders kindling a need-fire or force-fire at Beltane. Such a fire was deemed sacred. In the 19th century, the ritual of driving cattle between two fires—as described in Sanas Cormaic almost 1000 years before—was still practised across most of Ireland and in parts of Scotland. Sometimes the cattle would be driven "around" a bonfire or be made to leap over flames or embers. The people themselves would do likewise. In the Isle of Man, people ensured that the smoke blew over them and their cattle. When the bonfire had died down, people would daub themselves with its ashes and sprinkle it over their crops and livestock. Burning torches from the bonfire would be taken home, where they would be carried around the house or boundary of the farmstead and would be used to re-light the hearth. From these rituals, it is clear that the fire was seen as having protective powers. Similar rituals were part of May Day, Midsummer or Easter customs in other parts of the British Isles and mainland Europe. According to Frazer, the fire rituals are a kind of imitative or sympathetic magic. According to one theory, they were meant to mimic the Sun and to "ensure a needful supply of sunshine for men, animals, and plants". According to another, they were meant to symbolically "burn up and destroy all harmful influences".
Food was also cooked at the bonfire and there were rituals involving it. Alexander Carmichael wrote that there was a feast featuring lamb, and that formerly this lamb was sacrificed. In 1769, Thomas Pennant wrote that, in Perthshire, a caudle made from eggs, butter, oatmeal and milk was cooked on the bonfire. Some of the mixture was poured on the ground as a libation. Everyone present would then take an oatmeal cake, called the bannoch Bealltainn or "Beltane bannock". A bit of it was offered to the spirits to protect their livestock (one bit to protect the horses, one bit to protect the sheep, and so forth) and a bit was offered to each of the animals that might harm their livestock (one to the fox, one to the eagle, and so forth). Afterwards, they would drink the caudle.
According to 18th century writers, in parts of Scotland there was another ritual involving the oatmeal cake. The cake would be cut and one of the slices marked with charcoal. The slices would then be put in a bonnet and everyone would take one out while blindfolded. According to one writer, whoever got the marked piece would have to leap through the fire three times. According to another, those present would pretend to throw them into the fire and, for some time afterwards, they would speak of them as if they were dead. This "may embody a memory of actual human sacrifice", or it may have always been symbolic. A similar ritual (i.e. of pretending to burn someone in the fire) was practised at spring and summer bonfire festivals in other parts of Europe.
Flowers and May Bushes
A flowering hawthorn
Yellow flowers such as primrose, rowan, hawthorn, gorse, hazel, and marsh marigold were placed at doorways and windows in 19th century Ireland, Scotland and Mann. Sometimes loose flowers were strewn at the doors and windows and sometimes they were made into bouquets, garlands or crosses and fastened to them. They would also be fastened to cows and equipment for milking and butter making. It is likely that such flowers were used because they evoked fire. Similar May Day customs are found across Europe.
The May Bush and May Bough was popular in parts of Ireland until the late 19th century. This was a small tree or branch—typically hawthorn, rowan, holly or sycamore—decorated with bright flowers, ribbons, painted shells, and so forth. The tree would either be decorated where it stood, or branches would be decorated and placed inside or outside the house. It may also be decorated with candles or rushlights. Sometimes a May Bush would be paraded through the town. In parts of southern Ireland, gold and silver hurling balls known as May Balls would be hung on these May Bushes and handed out to children or given to the winners of a hurling match. In Dublin and Belfast, May Bushes were brought into town from the countryside and decorated by the whole neighbourhood. Each neighbourhood vied for the most handsome tree and, sometimes, residents of one would try to steal the May Bush of another. This led to the May Bush being outlawed in Victorian times. In some places, it was customary to dance around the May Bush, and at the end of the festivities it may be burnt in the bonfire.
Thorn trees were seen as special trees and were associated with the aos sí. The custom of decorating a May Bush or May Tree was found in many parts of Europe. Frazer believes that such customs are a relic of tree worship and writes: "The intention of these customs is to bring home to the village, and to each house, the blessings which the tree-spirit has in its power to bestow."Emyr Estyn Evans suggests that the May Bush custom may have come to Ireland from England, because it seemed to be found in areas with strong English influence and because the Irish saw it as unlucky to damage certain thorn trees. However, "lucky" and "unlucky" trees varied by region, and it has been suggested that Beltane was the only time when cutting thorn trees was allowed. The practice of bedecking a May Bush with flowers, ribbons, garlands and bright shells is found among the Gaelic diaspora, most notably in Newfoundland, and in some Easter traditions on the East Coast of the United States.
Other customs
Holy wells were often visited at Beltane, and at the other Gaelic festivals of Imbolc and Lughnasadh. Visitors to holy wells would pray for health while walking sunwise (moving from east to west) around the well. They would then leave offerings; typically coins or clooties (see clootie well). The first water drawn from a well on Beltane was seen as being especially potent, as was Beltane morning dew. At dawn on Beltane, maidens would roll in the dew or wash their faces with it. It would also be collected in a jar, left in the sunlight, and then filtered. The dew was thought to increase sexual attractiveness, maintain youthfulness, and help with skin ailments.
People also took steps specifically to ward-off or appease the aos sí. Food was left or milk poured at the doorstep or places associated with the aos sí, such as 'fairy trees', as an offering. In Ireland, cattle would be brought to 'fairy forts', where a small amount of their blood would be collected. The owners would then pour it into the earth with prayers for the herd's safety. Sometimes the blood would be left to dry and then be burnt. It was thought that dairy products were especially at risk from harmful spirits. To protect farm produce and encourage fertility, farmers would lead a procession around the boundaries of their farm. They would "carry with them seeds of grain, implements of husbandry, the first well water, and the herb vervain (or rowan as a substitute). The procession generally stopped at the four cardinal points of the compass, beginning in the east, and rituals were performed in each of the four directions".
The festival persisted widely up until the 1950s, and in some places the celebration of Beltane continues today.
As a festival, Beltane had largely died out by the mid-20th century, although some of its customs continued and in some places it has been revived as a cultural event. In Ireland, Beltane fires were common until the mid 20th century, but the custom seems to have lasted to the present day only in County Limerick (especially in Limerick itself) and in Arklow, County Wicklow. However, the custom has been revived in some parts of the country. Some cultural groups have sought to revive the custom at Uisneach and perhaps at the Hill of Tara. The lighting of a community Beltane fire from which each hearth fire is then relit is observed today in some parts of the Gaelic diaspora, though in most of these cases it is a cultural revival rather than an unbroken survival of the ancient tradition. In some areas of Newfoundland, the custom of decorating the May Bush is also still extant. The town of Peebles in the Scottish Borders holds a traditional week-long Beltane Fair every year in June, when a local girl is crowned Beltane Queen on the steps of the parish church. Like other Borders festivals, it incorporates a Common Riding.
Since 1988, a Beltane Fire Festival has been held every year during the night of 30 April on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. While inspired by traditional Beltane, this festival is a modern arts and cultural event which incorporates myth and drama from a variety of world cultures and diverse literary sources. Two central figures of the Bel Fire procession and performance are the May Queen and the Green Man.
Neo-Paganism
Beltane and Beltane-based festivals are held by some Neopagans. As there are many kinds of Neopaganism, their Beltane celebrations can be very different despite the shared name. Some try to emulate the historic festival as much as possible. Other Neopagans base their celebrations on many sources, the Gaelic festival being only one of them.
Neopagans usually celebrate Beltane on 30 April – 1 May in the Northern Hemisphere and 31 October – 1 November in the Southern Hemisphere, beginning and ending at sunset. Some Neopagans celebrate it at the astronomical midpoint between the spring equinox and summer solstice (or the full moon nearest this point). In the Northern Hemisphere, this midpoint is when the ecliptic longitude of the Sun reaches 45 degrees.
Celtic Reconstructionist
Celtic Reconstructionists strive to reconstruct the pre-Christian religions of the Celts. Their religious practices are based on research and historical accounts, but may be modified slightly to suit modern life. They avoid modern syncretism and eclecticism (i.e. combining practises from unrelated cultures).
Celtic Reconstructionists usually celebrate Lá Bealtaine when the local hawthorn trees are in bloom. Many observe the traditional bonfire rites, to whatever extent this is feasible where they live. This may involve passing themselves and their pets or livestock between two bonfires, and bringing home a candle lit from the bonfire. If they are unable to make a bonfire or attend a bonfire ceremony, torches or candles may be used instead. They may decorate their homes with a May Bush, branches from blooming thorn trees, or equal-armed rowan crosses. Holy wells may be visited and offerings made to the spirits or deities of the wells. Traditional festival foods may also be prepared.
Wicca
Wiccans use the name Beltane or Beltain for their May Day celebrations. It is one of the yearly Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, following Ostara and preceding Midsummer. Unlike Celtic Reconstructionism, Wicca is syncretic and melds practices from many different cultures. In general, the Wiccan Beltane is more akin to the Germanic/English May Day festival, both in its significance (focusing on fertility) and its rituals (such as maypole dancing). Some Wiccans enact a ritual union of the May Lord and May Lady.
Name
In Irish, the festival is usually called Lá Bealtaine ('day of Beltane') while the month of May is Mí Bhealtaine ("month of Beltane"). In Scottish Gaelic, the festival is Latha Bealltainn and the month is An Cèitean or a' Mhàigh. Sometimes the older Scottish Gaelic spelling Bealltuinn is used. The word Céitean comes from Cétshamain ('first of summer'), an old alternative name for the festival. The term Latha Buidhe Bealltainn (Scottish) or Lá Buidhe Bealtaine (Irish), 'the bright or yellow day of Beltane', means the first of May. In Ireland it is referred to in a common folk tale as Luan Lae Bealtaine; the first day of the week (Monday/Luan) is added to emphasise the first day of summer.
The name is anglicized as Beltane, Beltain, Beltaine, Beltine and Beltany.
Etymology
Two modern etymologies have been proposed. Beltaine could derive from a Common Celtic *belo-te(p)niâ, meaning 'bright fire'. The element *belo- might be cognate with the English word bale (as in bale-fire) meaning 'white' or 'shining'; compare Old English bǣl, and Lithuanian/Latvian baltas/balts, found in the name of the Baltic; in Slavic languages byelo or beloye also means 'white', as in Беларусь ('White Rus′' or Belarus) or Бе́лое мо́ре ('White Sea').[citation needed] Alternatively, Beltaine might stem from a Common Celtic form reconstructed as *Beltiniyā, which would be cognate with the name of the Lithuanian goddess of death Giltinė, both from an earlier *gʷel-tiōn-, formed with the Proto-Indo-European root *gʷelH- ('suffering, death'). The absence of syncope (Irish sound laws rather predict a **Beltne form) is explained by the popular belief that Beltaine was a compound of the word for 'fire', tene.
In Ó Duinnín's Irish dictionary (1904), Beltane is referred to as Céadamh(ain) which it explains is short for Céad-shamh(ain) meaning 'first (of) summer'. The dictionary also states that Dia Céadamhan is May Day and Mí Céadamhan is the month of May.
There are a number of place names in Ireland containing the word Bealtaine, indicating places where Bealtaine festivities were once held. It is often anglicised as Beltany. There are three Beltanys in County Donegal, including the Beltany stone circle, and two in County Tyrone. In County Armagh there is a place called Tamnaghvelton/Tamhnach Bhealtaine ('the Beltane field'). Lisbalting/Lios Bealtaine ('the Beltane ringfort') is in County Tipperary, while Glasheennabaultina/Glaisín na Bealtaine ('the Beltane stream') is the name of a stream joining the River Galey in County Limerick.

“I was gonna leave The Week In Tory until Friday the 2nd October but at their current rate it'll be very long by then, and I'm worried about you, mate.
It's OK to get drunk on at 5pm on Monday the 28th of September, isn't it? Well, that's my recommendation anyway. Here goes...
1. In June UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said to Black Lives Matter protestors: “I hear you”, and acknowledged the “incontrovertible, undeniable feeling of injustice” that “we simply cannot ignore”
So obviously, 40 Tory MPs refused to take part in unconscious bias training
2. The government shut pubs an hour early, seemingly under the impression coronavirus (an inert, sub-microscopic infectious entity with no brain or nervous system) can tell the time.
The government demanded we all follow the rules
The government exempted House Of Commons bars from the rules
3. Health Minister Helen Whately said “people who get drunk and leave the pub to keep on partying should remember their responsibility for the nation’s health”
Helen Whateley, who is *actually* responsible for the nation’s health, was sober when she said this. Presumably
4. After 6 months of world-leading “throwing apps in the bin but taking the cash anyway”, the government finally proudly released an NHS Testing App
It didn't work with NHS tests
Or on 18% of phones
Or in Scotland or Northern Ireland
And a report said only 10% of the us will use it, cos we don’t trust Dominic Cummings with our data
Nor should we: the Data Commissioner said Cummings' proposed changes to privacy law will see the UK barred from sharing global data, and cost the UK economy "up to £80bn"
5. Meanwhile the promise of 500,000 tests per day won’t be reached because, in news that should shock nobody, the government failed to order enough raw materials
So the government stopped releasing evidence of how many are being tested, cos if you don't look at it, it isn't real
6. The government, which only weeks ago was demanding we go back to work or all get sacked, now demands we all stay at home
7. Them the government said the reason the UK had the worst Covid response AND worst economy in Europe is because we are “freedom-loving”
8. And then government freedom-lovingly banned schools from using any materials that criticised capitalism
Not content with this, they also banned schools discussing “victim narratives”, which is going to make it tough to maintain their national anti-bullying strategy
9. And then a leaked report said the government was planning to freedom-lovingly deploy the military on the streets
10. Meanwhile, the government announced only 24% of businesses have done any preparation for Brexit, and only 30% of cross-channel HGVs have the correct paperwork
11. The government finally admitted what they’d been told repeatedly since 2016, and said Brexit would create 2-day queues of 7000 lorries at Channel ports
7000 lorries (at the average 16.5m each) is 1155km. That’s a queue over 70 miles long. Every day.
To solve this, the government announced a new internal border in Kent, helpfully relocating 70 miles of queues to London, Essex, Surrey and East Sussex instead
A month ago, Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh was demanding we “take back” Calais. Now we’re essentially abandoning Kent.
Because we only had 4 years to plan for this, our lovely new border will start on 1 January and be controlled by software that – and you should probably open a second bottle around now - won’t be ready until at least 4 months later
Oh, and border checks won’t be ready in Northern Ireland either
But we might not have a problem anyway: it was revealed there are just 2000 EU haulage permits for our 40,000 UK hauliers. That’s 5% of what we need, for any Govt Ministers struggling with the maths
12. And we don’t even have enough pallets for the goods we import, cos we currently rely on a supply we share with the EU, and have neither the wood nor the treatment plants, nor the required chemicals to make and treat our own
So now the government has to make a 200m border, a mechanism for policing it, an internal passport system, software, admin, buy 38,000 permits and grow enough trees for 700,000 pallets. In 3 months.
It had 5 months to add up some A-Level results, and that went swimmingly
13. I’m sure supply-and-demand won’t force prices sky high, cos it never does when you have 5% of the food the nation needs and a govt which boasts about breaking the law, but it was also announced tariffs will add £3.1bn to the nation’s food bill in Jan 2021
14. As a mark of confidence, Jim Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man and a leading Brexiteer, buggered off to Monaco
15. And an unnamed minister was quoted: “We are stuck in a bind. If we try to cancel Brexit we destroy ourselves; if we go ahead with it we destroy the country”
16. The London School of Economics reported the long-term cost of Brexit will be 2-3 times the cost of Covid
So Rishi Sunak cancelled the budget, cos once again, if you don’t look at it, it doesn’t exist
17. JPMorgan shifted £200 billion out of the UK and into Germany calling it “a result of Brexit”.
At least 22% of our entire national economy depends on international banks based in the City of London, so when the largest one fucks off, it's a relaxing development
18. Former Prime Minister Theresa May said the government’s bill to break international law is “reckless” and “risks the integrity of the United Kingdom”
19. The Attorney General, who takes an oath to parliament, the Queen and The Bar to observe the law, said she was “very proud” to be breaking the law
The UK is a signatory and legal guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, which brought peace to the island of Ireland after 3600 violent deaths. The Attorney General, who is sworn to maintain peace, says Brexit will break the GFA, and she is “extremely proud” of that too.
Turns out, the advisory Professor who told her she should go ahead and break the law and endanger peace in Ireland is the partner of Michael Gove’s special advisor. It’s amazing, these coincidences. Almost as if they don’t want to listen to anybody else
20. Speaking of which, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s old friend and unfailingly irrumating backer (google it) Charles Moore, who has spent his life demanding the end of the BBC, and said the BBC causes "human misery worthy of Dickens" (does he mean Mrs Brown's Boys?) is in line to run the BBC
And it was reported ex Daily Mail Editor Paul Dacre, who shouts c*unt so much his meetings are called “the vagina monologues”, and whose paper is banned as a Wiki reference cos it lies so often, is going to be put in charge of Ofcom: ensuring decent and honest broadcasting
Oh yeah, and Boris Johnson tweeted “a free press is vital in holding the government to account”, which is probably why the people holding his govt to account are being replaced with his mates and cheerleaders
21. Tory MP and successful conscience-donor Andrea Jenkins got paid £25k from a thinktank that doesn’t exist
22. And because no list is complete without a disturbing nocturnal visitation from the smirking angel of death, Home Office Secretary Priti Patel was accused of incitement to racial hatred
23. Whilst Patel, Jenkyns and the Attorney General were busy redefining “the party of Law and Order” the rest of the govt took a wild swing at “the party of fiscal responsibility”, when it was revealed the government has wasted £3,895,556,000 since March.
This includes unsafe testing kits; face masks that don’t work; broken tracing systems; useless antibody tests; cancelled ventilator challenge; and inexplicable contracts to sweet manufacturers and dormant companies with no employees, to provide PPE that never arrived!
24. The government, which insisted schools and universities reopened, said it was now vital to lock down students and prevent them from mixing in large groups
And then the government said it was sanctioning class sizes of up to 60 which ... remind me, is that more or fewer than 6?
25. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said “we’re giving up to 11,000 iPads to care homes to enable residents to connect with loved ones”
“Up to” is a bit telling, but even if it’s 11,000, there are 21,700 care homes in the UK. I guess they’ll just have to share. Goodbye forever, nana!
26. And finally, if you feel all alone in despairing at this: you aren’t. Belief in Britain as a “global force for good” has fallen 10% since 2019. I, for one, am shocked to the core....”-Russ

London To Edinburgh Train
 Edinburgh is a famous cultural city in Britain and the capital of Scotland. It is located on the east coast of Scotland and built on a rocky cliff. The city of Edinburgh is not big. You can walk the whole city in two or three hours on foot. If you are used to a modern city full of skyscrapers, and then come to Edinburgh, you will find that the contrast is very big. Skyscrapers basically can’t be seen in Edinburgh, here are all some old buildings.

6. Any tattoos you want? I would like it but I would have to think of a tattoo that I want too much, because I am very indecisive and it may be that after a while that tattoo does not mean anything to me, but I would like to tattoo an octopus on my left arm (like John Frusciante's, don't ask why).
7. Any piercings you want? For now, nah. Not my favorite thing.
8. OTP? A what? I'm🤡
9. Favourite show(s)? I don't watch a lot TV but I like That 70's Show, Seindfeld, The Office, Game of Thrones and a lot of varied documentaries.
10. Favourite band? My favorite bands always vary actually, but the one that I consider my favorite forever is Pink Floyd (I think it was obvious)
11. Something you miss? I miss being able to go to the outskirts of the city for a while, being among the mountains and putting my feet in the river, I hope I can do it again soon.
12. Favourite song(s)? Well, there are many but the ones I have been listening to often for now are: Wild World by Cat Stevens, My Sweet Lord by George Harrison, Always See Your Face by Love, See-Saw by Pink Floyd and I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James.
13. How old are you? I turn 16 in a few days :)
14. Zodiac Sign? Virgo like Freddy Mercury and Roger Waters.
15. Hair Colour? Dark blonde but not so dark
16. Favourite Quote? Many. “Solo en sueños, en la poesía, en el juego —encender una vela, andar con ella por el corredor— nos asomamos a veces a lo que fuimos antes de ser esto que vaya a saber si somos” by Julio Cortázar in his book Rayuela. ("Only in dreams, in poetry, in games - lighting a candle, walking with it down the corridor - do we sometimes peek into what we were before being this, who will know if we are").
17. Favourite singer? Janis Joplin, Freddy Mercury, David Gilmour, Robert Plant, Judy Garland, Florence Welch, Joan Baez and surely I forget many.
18. Favourite colour(s)? Brown, dark green, yellow, gold, purple and silver.
19. Loud music or soft music? Both actually, quiet music low and hard music louder.
20. Where do you go when you’re sad? I like to be in nature (same as the girl who nominated me)
21. How long does it take you to shower? 30 minutes/one hour lmao, I like to take a relaxing bath but it depends on how long I have.
22. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 20 or 30 minutes.
23. Ever been in a physical fight? Nope, I'm pretty calm. In 2018 a classmate wanted to hit me after school for being a weirdo but I was able to stop the fight in time, something bad would have happened to me because I can't hit anyone ;)
24. Turn on(s)? Effective communicator, being kind to others, helping others, respectful towards others, someone who doesn’t like conflict and prefers peace, compassion, good sense of humour, groovy sense of style, good taste in music, non-verbal communication, respecting my need for space and respecting that I value my personal freedom, open minded but has their own opinions, willing to enlighten me, being able to let go and be free with me, piercing eyes, nice smile, being able to understand me (same as the girl who nominated me again)
25. Turn off(s)? Manipulation or toxic actions, being disrespectful, inappropriate jokes, believing that you are better than everyone, not being grateful, not respecting my personal space and personal things, etc, etc.
26. The reason I joined Tumblr? I wanted to get into a place where I can share my nonsense and taste, share ideas and jokes in a non-toxic place like Twitter. Luckily the people I have talked here are nice and the pink floyd community and other bands are pretty good💖✨.
27. Fears? Many people are afraid of the death of oneself but I am more afraid of the death of my loved ones, the ocean gives me a lot of panic (although I would love to dive) and I am afraid of being standing next to a statue or something carved with shape that is bigger than me, like the cat litter statues in Egyptian.
28. Last thing that made you cry? The movie about Judy Garland, gosh💔.
29. Last time you cried? Last night.
30. Meaning behind your URL? Iggy the Eskimo is the nickname of the naked girl who is in some photos of Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs, and I love her so much (not much of a story behind my URL really).
31. Last book you read? Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, very good.
32. Last song you listened to? Green is the Colour by Pink Floyd.
33. Last show you watched? The Office.
34. Last person you talked to? My grandma or my boyfriend, I don't remember.
35. The relationship between you and the person you last texted? They are my grandmother and my boyfriend, I mean ?
36. Favorite food? Pasta :) if you want my heart just give me pasta. And I'm trying to start being a vegetarian.
37. Place you want to visit? I want to travel all the world really, but Greece, London, Scotland, India and Nordic countries are my fav.
38. Last place you were? The last place where I traveled? To Bariloche, south of Argentina in January of this year :)
39. Do you have a crush? Yup.
40. Last time you kissed someone? Some days ago i guess.
41. Last time you were insulted and what was it? It's weird that people insult me because I don't usually do bad things and mostly when I'm surrounded by people they rarely notice me, so I really don't remember when they last insulted me.
42. What color underwear are you wearing? Calm down honey
43. What colour shirt are you wearing? Multicolour, are these t-shirts that are dyed.
44. What colour bottoms are you wearing? Dark blue jeans.
45. Wearing any bracelets? Noup, although I usually wear some.
46. Last sport you played? Maybe volleyball in February at school (I probably played bad).
47. Last song you sang? I sing pieces of songs all day so I don't remember which one was the last one.
48. Last prank call you remember doing? Idk, maybe when I was younger and have friends.
49. Last time you hung out with someone? Loooooooooong time ago.
50. Favourite movie(s)? The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, The Godfather (all), Judy, Rocketman, The Wall and many that I do not remember lol.
This took me a long time so if you read everything thank you💖I'm not sure if the people I'm nominating have already been nominated but
@artsyhippie @divine-and-decaying @whatdyoumean-interesting @herrmiu (only if you want to) and anyone who wants to ✨
