Favourite Irish history fact?

Now this is VERY difficult but right now it's probably the way that renowned early eighteenth century presbyterian philosopher samuel boyse, who ran in the same circles as the people who started the scottish enlightenment and whose religious thought strongly influenced modern ireland on both sides of the border through william drennan, would raise money when he couldn't pay his rent

#bonus story I first read this while trying to get home at four in the morning in the dublin airport in june of last year after spending #an entire transatlantic flight dead awake and I laughed so hard I choked a crisp and a stranger nearly had to perform the #heimlich manoeuvre on me. memories ♥️ #ID in alt #asks #anon #irish history #jory.txt

You can knock down a genuine belief, if you load up with enough facts that contradict it; but a belief that's built on nothing except who the person wants to be, nothing can crumble that.

Little Old Library|Seungmin

Summary: bf!Seungmin takes you on a walk to see one the biggest historical libraries

Notes: I'm sorry if the information is a little off, I've never been to Dublin before😅

Warnings: I've literally never written a full Seungmin fic before I am so sorry

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Take a walk with me."

You look up at the sound of your lover's voice, head cocking to the side ever so slightly. "A walk?" You bemused.

Seungmin nods, hand reaching out to yours to lift you off the couch. He could understand your hesitancy, as you had done plenty of walking the days prior. You declared just yesterday evening that you were officially done walking the area, tired and sore from not packing the right shoes. Now, he offers to go again, unprompted.

He grabbed his long brown coat, draping it carefully over his shoulders before doing the same to yours. Satisfied, he took your hand and led you down the black spiral stairs and out of the motel. The once-foreign town was becoming familiar with each passing day of your vacation. Every tourist attraction was nearby and accessible by foot. The long rows and rows of apartments and businesses in brown buildings was what made the walk worth it. Eventually, you came across a bus that led you to the needed destination.

Seungmin walked hand in hand with you, adjusting the black bag on his shoulders after exiting the bus. "We are here!"

You look around for signs, a little bewildered at the large building before you. "Where are we?"

Although this location wasn't on your list of to-dos, Seungmin's encouragement to check it out was hard to ignore. He tugs you along silently, a smile pulling at the corner of his lips. He paused his movements upon getting closer to the large tower before him.

"Wow, this is beautiful!" Your eyes couldn't help but wander around, not recognizing anything. The old tower with a dome-shape top bore a gilded cross and articulate designs all over. The design was meant for a bell tower, now an arch many people were underneath to cross sections of the land.

"This is the Campanile," your boyfriend explains softly, watching you with light eyes as you look around. "A bell tower made in 1853. It's part of the Trinity College; the buildings are just on the other side."

Impressed with the sudden overflow of knowledge, you send a smirk his way. "Look who decided to do research beforehand," you teased, patting the lips of his jacket against his chest.

Seungmin rolled his eyes with a tsk. "If I didn't tell you any of this, you'd wonder why we're here."

Surprised to know there was more to anticipate, you followed closely behind him as he began to move forward again. You couldn't help but be in awe of your surroundings, the historical buildings designed so intricately you could see it from far away. There was many others stopping to snap photos, probably none knowing nearly the same amount of information your boyfriend did of the landmark.

Finally, after small stops to sightsee different rooms, he took you into the place he truly wanted you to see. He warned you ahead, hoping to prepare your heart, that pictures could never describe the feeling of it in person. And while he didn't mind taking photos with you before, he wanted you to enjoy the sight you were about to see.

"You're so dramatic," you laugh at him, rolling your eyes. "What could possibly be so amazing-oh my God."

Your words stopped in your mouth upon the sight of the large room. Rows and rows, shelves upon shelves, all stacked with neatly placed books. The hallway lined with signs to signafy where to go in case one got lost in the maze-like building. A library so large, a bookworm would never leave.

Seungmin happily watched the sparkle glow in your eyes. "This is only part of it," he informs you with a smile. "But it's the largest. 'The Long Room in the Old Library'."

"How did you find something so amazing?" You gasped in excitement, unsure where you land your eyes first. The overwhelming feeling of the large arches towering over you, hallway after hallway filled to the brim with books, had you near tears of joy.

He followed behind you as you went to the left side first, softly gazing at you with pride. Min was proud to make you so thrilled to see the library, feeling as if he accomplished something huge. Although aware you weren't willing to do anything on the last day of your vacation, he just knew he'd regret it if he didn't drag you there. Seeing you smile so brightly, calling him over to your side to see the books together, his heart warmed.

"These books must be a million years old!" You gasped.

"Something like that," he agrees. "They have copies of all works published in Ireland. Dating back to like, 1801."

Your eyes widened. "That's insane." After a moment to sink in the information, you glanced at your lover from the corner of your eye. "Is this why you stayed up so late last night?"

A sudden sheepish look skimmed across his features. "No," he lies, tearing his gaze from yours. He clears his throat, attempting to move to a new section of books to change your attention.

After a moment, the two of you began to hold hands again to stroll down the hallway with interest. Seungmin played with your fingers occasionally, finding it soothing to have you right there beside him at all times. The pride that bubbled in his chest didn't go away, even during that evening when you both lied in bed and settled down for the next day. It stayed there, simmering alongside the content your smile made his heart.

Charles and Sarah relax in the grass behind his house on a rare sunny day ft. very slightly anachronistic but thematically appropriate reading material which I literally didn't even remember was out of place until like 2 minutes ago 😑 perils of writing historical fiction ig

#I also don't think charles would even like malthus I think one of his friends or one of the other dublin castle undersecretaries would peer #pressure him into reading it and he would not understand it at all and beg sarah to also read it and explain it to him like he is 2 yrs old #and then he would go to parliament and explain that his latest peasant killing machine idea is inspired by malthus and they would go omg #charles u understand economics so well. meanwhile sarah is using it to convince the local defenders that they should never have sex again #for no reason at all other than to psychologically torment them. this is canon now btw #wip: rrl #c: lord charles #c: sarah connolly #digital art #jory.img
