Good Morning-
Some years ago, last century, when the world was much larger my teenage self fell in love with Ireland.
It started with a school project for the year.
Write about strife in the history of the world.
I chose 1916 Ireland.
In that year, I learned everything I possibly could.
A few years later when it was time to apply for college, I applied to Trinity College in Dublin.
Imagine my thrill when a huge envelope with postage from Ireland appeared in our mailbox.
I was accepted.
My dreamy romantic plan was to live in Ireland in a tiny thatched cottage by the sea, ride horses on the beach, pick heather on the cliffs and write.
I never went, as my mom explained that JFK Airport was not going to be a weekly commuting hub.
Perhaps one day I shall.
My other little story about Ireland is more recent and took place when I lived in Manhattan.
What I loved most about the city was its diversity. That it was kaleidoscopic in the fact that every day and moment was different.
One day I heard a beautiful Irish voice in conversation, behind me on 5th Avenue.
I slowed my pace.
At the corner, by the red light. I turned to my right side to see Bono standing next to me.
I wanted to simply state my gratitude that 'your music saved me on so many levels. Your gorgeous voice took me on a journey. That during the saddest moment in my life, your music comforted me.'
But instead I remained cool New Yorker who respects another's space, and simply smiled.
Happy St.Patrick's Day💚☘️🇨🇮
Love,
beautflstranger

pomefiore headcanons and projections 🔱
⚠️ warnings: self destructive behavior, unsafe binding, restrictive eating disorders
big thank you to @onemunchyboi for helping me with this, basically all of these hcs are pulled directly from him/his art because hes the pomefiore CEO
last updated: apr 6, 2024
VIL SCHOENHEIT !! 👑❤🔥
🇩🇪🇺🇸🇮🇳 QUEER POLYAM + GENDERQUEER TRANSFEM (she/her)
APPEARANCE HCS:
i base a lot of vils looks off of marilyn monroe and 1920-1950 trends
slightly pudgy because back then being bigger was the beauty standard
has a few moles here and there teehee
medium length hair she doesn't style much, she just keeps it neat
RANDOM HCS:
when laughing genuinely she snorts and gets really embarrassed about it
random, but i hc vils mom is divorced and one of those "rich evil unwed women," but instead of flirting with the pool boy she flirts with maids (lesbian)
vil doesnt talk about her mom because she's no longer in contact with her
both parents are successful actors that got together for PR and convenience
╰ got mannerisms/habits from her mother, gets advice and doted on by her father
used to dye her hair a lot but realized it wasn't healthy and just touches up the purple tint occasionally now. she's a natural blonde.
he has naturally long nails and prefers clear or slightly translucent nail polish
extremely picky eater. if it looks or smells a certain way, she wont eat it
especially sensitive to mushy pudding-like textures (hates bananas)
VERY EXPRESSIVE. rolls her eyes so far back and scoffs SO aggressively
BPD, HPD, autism. her BPD and HPD are genetic!
her special interests include film and film history, as well as cosmetics history
triggering content below!
has anxiety and self-image issues as well as paranoid delusions. she had an ED her freshman-sophomore years and are still in recovery!
one delusion is that she's actually a villain due to her consistent casting as one
╰ this is why she gets aggressive with neige, fine with reality checks from rook EXCLUSIVELY (unless she really needs it)
ROOK HUNT !! 🏹💘
🇨🇦🇿🇦🇨🇮 PANSEXUAL POLYAM + AGENDER (they/them)
APPEARANCE HCS:
i think theyre extremely racially ambiguous, it's also hard to tell their gender
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN ROOK HUNT FUCKASS BOB. IT'S STYLED RIGHT.
bangs constantly cover their eyebrows so its hard to ever tell their expression
in the summer they get really dark and stay tan in the winter
theatre kid
after vil introduced them to dressing "neater," they've been obsessed with shopping for clothes, perfume, hair products, etc.
despite being a pomefiore rich kid they're still a grimy savanaclaw member at heart who crouches to look at cool bugs once and a while
used to have a LOT of acne, especially on their back and face
had braces their sophomore year, they used to have little buckteeth
because they're a hunter they're scarily good at being super quiet
atp no one notices when they enter a room and it scares the shit out of people
when they're upset they go quiet. absolute master of silent treatment.
can be really competitive (because they have so many siblings)
never lost the tan from their savanaclaw days, still has freckles here and there
absolutely insane preposterous eyebags
triggering content below!
they are bulimic.
EPEL FELMIER !! 🍎🎀
🇹🇷🇺🇸 BISEXUAL TRANS MAN (he/him)
APPEARANCE HCS:
fat + apple body shape and kinda muscular idc
the middle photo below is my faceclaim for him :3 his skin is darker tho
vil teases him for his southern accent which gets worse when hes upset
has/had extremely crooked teeth and has been wearing braces for a while
has a slight stutter and lisp (mostly from the braces)
constantly biting the side of his cheek or tongue on accident
wears those colorful star-shaped pimple patches
likes baggy clothes for when he can't bind, vil only accommodates to his southern grunge style when he's dysphoric, needs comfort, or is feeling homesick
used to chew with his mouth slightly open until vil looked at him with such disgust his body learned how to correct it himself
triggering content below!
extreme body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria
he actively avoids mirrors (i think im so clever for this hc. do you get it... snow white... mirror mirror on the wall...? im so fucking smart...)

I just saw your addition to the post about using emoji as warnings/disclaimers, and ngl 🇨🇮👶🥧 as a disclaimer for satire fucking killed me, funniest shit I've seen in a while, you definitely made my day
Thank you. I'm sure you're aware, but I've been wanting to explain it and you're the first person to mention it.
So, Irish baby pie is a reference to Johnathan Swift's A Modest Proposal in which Swift details the plight of the poor (mostly) Irish and then satirically suggest the british solve the problem by using Irish babies as cooking ingredients:
"A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."
I think I'm clever.
