One day after the Proclamation of the Irish Republic is read by Pádraig Pearse on Easter Monday and a day of limited activity, British authorities start to take action.

I have no idea if I've asked this before, so if I have, deepest apologies 😭
Your GhostSoap is so pretty! I was wondering if you'd be open to drawing any other COD ships, like AleRudy or NikPrice! Heavy on NikPrice, I adore them and there's nearly nothing on them 😢
If not, that's totally understandable! I love all the tiny details in your work, they make it all feel more real. Hope you have a good day!
hey there! no worries, I don't think anyone's asked this before actually..🤔
this may be a *controversial* answer, but truthfully, the only ship I care about is ghostsoap 😔(soapghost, ghoap, Jimon™️, etc...)
I adhere to the ancient laws of otp in that they are the only two losers I care about being in love :'D sure, there are other ships that I can acknowledge and potentially enjoy--but for now, I'm contractually obligated to wave the flag for these bastards only ✌️
thanks for your kind words, regardless <33

Time to bring back my favourite Trooping the Colour footage from 1949. Then Princess Elizabeth, on her horse Tommy, is coming closer to Prince Philip who’s behind the camera and it’s like you get to see a glimpse of the real Lilibet .

#OTD in 1920 – On hearing of British atrocities in Ireland, soldiers of the Connaught Rangers mutiny in protest; three are shot dead; a fourth, Private James Daly, is court-martialled and executed by firing squad.
The Connaught Rangers (The Devil’s Own) was an Irish line infantry regiment of the British Army originally raised in 1793 as the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers), which gained a reputation both for indiscipline and for its prowess as shock troops and streetfighters with the bayonet while serving under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War in Spain.
James Daly, a native of Co…
