Been thinking lately about the term Anglo-Irish. Specifically in the context of notable historical figures such as Oscar Wilde, J. M. Synge, W. B. Yeats, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift, Maria Edgeworth, and so many others. We’re so quick to claim that they’re not British that they’re Irish, but it’s not as straight forward as that is it? The same issue arises with notable Northern Irish people. Sometimes it’s clear if they identify as British or Irish, but not always.

Obviously we want to claim the brillance of Anglo-Irish people in history because they came from our home and that is important. But on the other hand, the Anglo-Irish were the ones making waves because of that privilege. That is important too. The Anglo-Irish - as a whole - were generally better off and a higher class than the general Irish population. That can’t be ignored. They become well known and influential outside of Ireland because they have the money and the connections to do that. Many other Irish people were probably as talented but just didn’t get the chance.

A lot of the notable Anglo-Irish people did go over to England and prosper there, which is probably part of the reason that people call them British. But even if their families were well off english landlord types, a lot of them were raised in ireland and that matters.

Wikipedia says

The Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Bowen memorably described her experience as feeling "English in Ireland, Irish in England" and not accepted fully as belonging to either.

Many Irish people today have family in the UK. Many of my peers have one British parent or grandparent, myself included. While the countries are separate places and should be treated as such, the people are still messy. I was born in England to an English mother and an English-born Irish father then raised in Ireland. Up until I was 15 or 16 I was a British citizen, then I was imported and now all my documentation says I’m Irish. I don’t consider myself English or British at all. And today, that distinction doesn’t really make much difference. I’m not any better or worse than my neighbours whose family have lived and died in the same area for generations. But historically, for these notable Anglo-Irish people, that distinction did make a difference.

#this has been in my drafts since….9th of may 20222 #I know I had a really interesting conversation about the term Anglo Irish and specifically bram stoker and dracula with fiona at the bus #station and I promised them I would write more about what we’d said #but I forgot and this draft has sat here ever since. untouched. #so you get this half thought #please do feel free to add on to it! I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on the term anglo-irish and their domination of the arts #other things too but those were what I was focusing on in a historical context #my own post #ireland #Anglo-Irish #irish #it’s probably more poignant now that I am living in the uk #and interestingly how many people i have met over here who have one irish grandparent and how many irish people my granny knows #who have never lived long term in ireland. people like my father whose parents left home in search of work and settled in the uk

Daniel complaining to the cameras that he should just pack his bags now, that he has to still live with these people, and they should just end the season because “as a fan” this season sucks.

And I gotta say dude, as a fan, i fully disagree. I love to see you struggling week after week after your side of the house thought you had so much power and attacked a woman who was simply minding her own business and your dumbass thought your final 2 going on the block was a smart decision.

This season only sucks in your perspective because you’re bad at it.

#if you ask me this season has gotten so entertaining the last couple weeks #i can’t argue with the results #the blindsides #and the house flips #the house being split after so many seasons #Turner getting HOH rlly changed things #never thought we’d be here fr #bb24

#I feel like I’m getting to the stage of grief where thinking about angus’s death doesn’t hurt quite as much #and it does make me a bit mad and a tad scared #but also… I never knew him in real life but yet he was a constant ‘fixture’ in my life #and ill feel pain about his death and random things about him but it doesn’t hurt as much and idk… it hurts #I want to continue to be sad about his death but I know it’s fruitful to continue to do so due to the parasocial relationship issues #like today I kinda laughed reminiscing about the Sunday spottings and watching all them waiting to see if he’d show up and when he would #we’d all be like ohh that’s insane he’s famous enough to be part of the deuxmoi Sunday spottings #or the time my speculation about him and dru made for a blind about him #man… it’s still so hard to believe it’s been over a fucking month since he left earth #and yet i still vividly remember everything about that day and how that date will forever mare my future feelings #wish he was still here #anyways #just thought I’d update my grieving process incase others needed something or felt the same way and as a way to just give words to stuff #and like block me if you hate me now with my bs ramblings

I’m not upset. i let go. there is a difference #and also I explained to her how I’ve felt trapped all my life and if I can’t talk to her about little things why would I feel comfortable #about more important things #she’s upset bc she thinks that I’m just gonna up and disappear out of her life #quite frankly I deserve to be able to but I’m not planning on it #at the moment that is #and I’m like look I asked u to leave me alone until I left which was only 2 weeks and considering everything you said that’s no time at all #and she’s like yeah but you’re never coming back #and I’m like. i have a job here I enjoy. i have to come back regardless #she unfortunately cannot see out of her own unhappiness and she’s never been able to #she’s like well it’s not fair you’ve spent 19 years miserable and didn’t tell me that’s not fair to me #and I’m like. i tried. again and again. nothing worked #like girl if you say to ur kid you’ve spent 19 years miserable. it’s not fair to me?? to you??? it’s not fair you made me miserable for 19 #years???? and you think it’s unfair to you??? excuse me?? girl how do u think I feel about the fairness of this #not to mention. i sure did try. but I was more worried about making it to the end of the week. to college. to whenever I could get out #so yeah. and then she was like well I thought talking to you would fix things but I guess you’re not interested #like. did u seriously think in like 2 weeks we’d be doing great? #I’m not even mad I just asked to be left alone until I moved. and she’s upset I don’t wanna be besties #even though we’ve Never gotten along. ok. yeah sure. bc moving out for 4 days is the way to win me over. ok #it’s amazing how she’s still managing to try to convince me that she is the victim here #soup talks

What do you do to treat your adhd?

hoo boy there's a lot of things I'm trying to do. The problem is that adhd affects an entire slew of things, like the way I remember stuff, starting/stopping tasks, time blindness/unable to conceptualize time as it passes, brain won't shut up enough to let me sleep, etc. This ends up compounding into other things, such as depression and anxiety which I also juggle with, and a big symptom is insomnia, which then lack of sleep affects everything else in my life. (oversleeping is bad too. i had to stop that to help my depression)

It feels like a constant balancing act, honestly. Right now I'd say the most important things I'm doing to treat it is therapy, medication, and have people i can turn to and engage with. Therapy has been helping a lot for me to see how my adhd affects me in all sorts of ways, and how sometimes I have to life-hack it to get around some of the problems (such as grouping together things, like group 1 is I wake up, go to the bathroom for water and take my pills and group 2 is I eat, wash my hands, put in contacts, comb hair, get on clothes, and brush my teeth. Yes the groupings are weird but it has turned many steps into two steps). I had to learn how to use reminders on my phone. I had to realize that I'm not disciplined enough to keep myself on a schedule of exercise, so I need to go to a gym/program that'll keep me on track. Stuff like that is great to hash out in therapy, plus it's good to know it's a safe environment and even though talking out what I feel sometimes feels stupid, it's taken seriously enough and we can work towards solutions. I still feel like I'm wrestling to get it under control rather than living with it, but hey, I only recently got diagnosed and I'm still dealing with past events that don't want to leave me alone.

For medication I'm on something that is in a different family from Adderall so my addictive tendencies don't creep in. I'm on Strattera. Funnily enough, I accidentally ran out of pills because I forgot to renew the prescription (irony!) and I missed a day. That day was absolute HELL because I didn't know how much the medication was doing for me! My thoughts were all scattered, I absolutely could NOT sit still, I was experiencing Evil Boredom (nothing could keep my brain engaged and nothing sounded good enough to), and it was exhausting to deal with all of my symptoms unchecked. So kudos to the medication for keeping me Normal, Mostly.

Lastly I've just been doing a lot of research. It's good to know exactly what you're fighting and how to deal with it, and find out the ways it impacts you so you can see it coming before it knocks you off your feet. Currently I've been watching HealthyGamerGG (Dr. K)'s videos on adhd and how it affects stuff like depression, substance abuse, and how to turn it around to have positive effects rather than just negative ones. I'd highly recommend checking out his videos.

Anyway, that's just some of the things I'm doing. Haha funny joke the ADHDer writes long reply, other ADHDer may not read because Long. (I see you, I feel you, I love you anyways,) I could keep talking, but this feels like an appropriate place to stop before I spiral down so many rabbit holes I create my own warren.

#asks #anonymous #gladie talks #the adhd experience #jk still talking down here #I didn’t get into stuff like hyperfixation and what it means and stuff like choice paralysis #or more of the nitty gritty I have to do to keep myself on track #I didn’t feel like it was worth getting into otherwise we’d be here all day #I do think it’s good to share experiences with our health and all facets of it #maybe this’ll help someone out! maybe it’ll be thought provoking! idk! #but yeah even if you find online hacks ‘just for adhd people’ but it works for you? take it steal it use it #in other news when I had that day off meds my wife told me I was absolutely manic and it was frightening lmao #I wish to never give the adhd full power like that again #bounce my leg that’s all the bodily autonomy you get asshole

#somehow got caught up looking at old messages on here from my ex-best friend from 2020 #idk why I decided to open the chat and go through it #something just caught me for some reason and I wanted to see what we’d been talking about so long ago before things went bad I guess #was starting to get a little in my feelings as I so often do #but before I could spiral I got a text from my girlfriend #she confirmed plans for our date night on Saturday and said I should come meet one of her family members when I go to pick her up #and it made me readjust my thinking #because why am I getting hung up on an old friend who hurt me when I’ve got this bright life I’m living now? #I’ve got a girlfriend and a best friend that treat me better than my ex-best friend ever did #they both make me feel like they want to be with me and talk to me pretty much every single day because they enjoy my company #and I’m so much happier now because I don’t have to wonder about their feelings or intentions #things are going so well and my girlfriend gives me butterflies and pulls me up from these bad times without even realizing it #and that’s how a relationship should be I think #easy and natural and helping prop each other up just by being together and talking to each other #I never thought I could be this happy actually #moving to Utah really was the best change I ever made in life #personal

how crazy do you think the AO3 authours notes are in gotham?

"Joker killed my grandma with a reindeer whilst playing 'grandma got run over by a reindeer' and i don't think i can continue to write this JokerBat fic anymore guys sorry :/ it just feels disrespectful."

“Look, I get if Batman/Clark Kent isn’t your cup of tea, but the guy writes more about Batman than anyone else outside of Gotham. There’s got to be a reason, is all I’m saying.”

“And here I am, jumping on the Batman/Bruce Wayne train like the rest of our beloved hellhole. Anyway, if you’re not from Gotham you can keep your criticisms to yourself or I will not be held responsible for the bloodshed that will occur should you insult our beloved sunshine child and his goth sugar baby. You don’t know them like we do.”

“Hey, sorry I haven’t updated in awhile. I died and then got caught up in this whole my-father-didn’t-avenge-me angst thing. Which was completely justified in my opinion. Anyway…”

“Let’s be honest, this entire series is dedicated to the fact that Red Hood could crush any of us with his thighs and we’d say thank you.”

“I just read a fic shipping Nightwing/Superman and I mean, come on. The author is clearly not from Gotham but I can never unsee that and I think I should be entitled to financial compensation.”

“Sorry it’s been awhile, I just got a new job! With the Best Boss™️ (if you know, you know). Also, my boss said he’d give a hundred bucks if I wrote a Batman bashing fic? Thoughts? Ngl I don’t think it’d even be that hard.”

“‘WHy aRE yoU WriTIng ABouT FakE SupERheROes WHen THe rEAl oNEs aRE riGHt tHEre?’ Uh, because it’s Gotham and they’re all a disaster? And also because I don’t want to be haunted by the venegeful spirits of robins past idk. Thinking of doing a crossover though. Batman in the Avengers? Thoughts?”

“I just want my husband Nightwing to be happy, is that too much to ask?”

“I came across Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy on my way home from school today and will now be hyperfixating on that ship, thanks.”

“Leave me and my 235k word fic of Prince!Bruce/Knight!Batman alone you Metropolis and Superman-loving traitors. This is not for you.”
