One Of The Most Unrealistic Things In Trc Imo Is That Theres No Hint Of Irish Lynch Relatives Descending

one of the most unrealistic things in trc imo is that there’s no hint of irish Lynch relatives descending on Henrietta en masse for Niall or Aurora’s funerals. like we as a people are obbsessed with funerals - everyone’s parents keep a constant eye on rip.ie, a site that’s a frequent cultural reference in irish memes, and we tend to go to wakes and funerals even if we don’t know the person all that well or haven’t seen them in years or they’re related or close to someone we know, even if we don’t know them personally. You don’t have to be invited personally to attend, we put out a notice and whoever wants to can come basically, and indeed if you don’t show face it can be considered rude or uncaring, unless the notice says house private, in which case it’s a more private ceremony. But even then any extended family typically goes along. Like did Declan discourage them from coming in a misguided attempt to give Ronan time to process after Niall’s death? That’s literally the only thing that makes sense to me and I can see that causing a lot of familial tension tbh. And also that may work once but I don’t see them not coming over when they lose a second parent so soon afterwards.

andrew, gesturing at the ravens: look at all these chickens

howdy friends - sorry i’ve been so low on the content of late, i’ve just moved country and started a new job but soon SOON i will have time to think again 

can you imagine Andrew coming back from reliving weeks of abuse with Proust and one of the first things he sees is Neil waiting for him with his eyes and part of his face bruised and with medical tape on his cheek and when they get to the car, Neil wincing when he has to bend to get inside and sit and then flinching when Nicky grabs his wrist and it’s a feeling he knows all too well and off of his meds, he starts to realize he doesn’t just care about Neil because it’s convenient, he cares because Neil is the only thing that makes him feel alive, and the fact that the only thing that makes him feel at all again cannot take a single step without clenching his teeth in pain, the fact that the only thing that makes his life worth something was nearly taken away from him because of him and, most importantly, for him makes Andrew realize that no matter how beaten up Neil comes back to him, Neil will always come back, and Andrew will always be waiting for him

the fact that ronan doesn’t have a million ugly stick ‘n pokes is definitely gansey’s influence and praise the lord for that

I'm French and Irish living in the US and my Irish grandfather once listened to me read aloud some stage Irish BS headcanons for Ronan and other characters (just general things a lot of them have) and he went on a huge rant, I'm so glad this blog exists so we don't have to deal with that anymore... hopefully

Hahahahaha this give me LIFE oh my god - i do this constantly too, i am both you and your grandfather. What are your/his top pet peeves? 💖 Honestly I cannot deal with some of the absolute ridiculousness that people have been conditioned to think about contemporary Ireland or Ireland in general, the level of cringe is immeasurable. If only I had the sway to eradicate it from all Tumblr fandoms and the wider world of writing, so glad to hear that you think I’m making an impact. I live and dream. You’ve actually inspired me to create a tag for all my Irish content, so thanks so much for that! & thanks for messaging me in general, it’s so nice to vibe with someone on here =)
