꣑ৎ welcome to my blog! ꣑ৎ

about me!

hello hello! my name is Maire (pronounced the same as Maura - it's the Irish spelling!), I'm eighteen years old and my pronouns are she/her exclusively! I live in Ireland, which I know sounds like a mystical fairyland to a lot of people who don't live here, but trust me, it's not, we have the same issues as most other countries lol. anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself lol, I should write down my interests!

my interests include:

• fashion! my favourite style is the downtown girl style, and my overall favourite fashion eras are the Regency period, 1960s mod, and the late 2000s! anything in pink and lacy is a must!!!

• chocolate and sweets! I am a strong believer in decadence and hedonism haha

• as you may have guessed, anything related to the 1960s lol!!!

• reading whatever I can get my hands on! My personal favourite books at the moment are My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell and The Secret History by Donna Tartt!!!

• fandom stuff! like most people on here I'm an avid user of AO3, but I still haven't posted anything on there, sob sob 😭

• history! my particular favourite is late 19th to 20th century Irish history, mostly because my family has some insane stories from those times lolsies.

• pre Raphaelite paintings! God, I love me some beautiful gowns and medieval imagery.

any do's/don'ts?

• DO interact with me if you have a similar taste in fashion, DON'T come near me if you promote toxic beauty standards to go with it (no pro ana/pro mia/hyper eurocentric beauty propaganda allowed here)

• DO interact with me if you like Irish history, DON'T come near me if you're one of those freaks who use the Signatories of the Proclamation as an excuse to be racist and homophobic ('Let no Irishman throw a stone at a foreigner; he may hit his own clansman.' - James Connolly)

• DO interact with me if you're a feminist, DON'T come near me if you're a TERF or SWERF! trans women and sex workers are disproportionately targeted by male violence and to exclude them from your 'feminism' is an absolute disservice to the cause.

• DO interact if you're into Vladimir Nabokov, DON'T come near me if you defend Humbert Humbert. I don't even have anything funny to say with this one you guys are just vile.

• lastly, DO interact with me if you're a girl around my age! and DON'T come near me if you're a creep, not interested in that shit!

Love you all, signed Máire

The stereotype of the nerd girl taking her glasses off and suddenly she's beautiful, but in reverse. A cold tough mean office lady who glares at everyone until she gets glasses and suddenly becomes sweet, approachable and friendly since she no longer has a constant headache over not being able to fucking see, doesn't need to squint at everything, and actually remembers individual people by name now that she can tell them apart at all.

praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.

[bideogaymes]

like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!

paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!

[creatingblackcharacters]

It's also like... Unless everyone over there is wearing shirts that say "Safe Catholic Irish" and "Bad UK Irish", there's no way a Black person is gonna know who is safe and who's not. So this idea that "it's not the real Irish" well then yeah the Real Irish need to stand up and get outside then because otherwise... You look just like the guy who burned my house down and I don't have time to give you a ten minute interview on your politics 🤷🏾‍♀️

gay men brought back 70s mustaches, lesbians brought back 80s mullets, and now straight dudes are just walking around with both thinking they stumbled onto this styling choice by accident. say the line meryl (cerulean sweater monologue but specifically about how gay culture creates taste)

like idk if you were close friends with beautiful and troubled girls in the latter half of high school the events of twin peaks and esp fire walk with me just register as like an amalgam of various peoples' lived experiences as fiction in the same way as stone butch blues. i have known several Laura Palmers like i have known several Jess Goldbergs

shout-out to all the trans guys going through male pattern baldness right now as a side effect of testosterone, happy pride and remember to apply sunscreen to your scalp when going to the parades if the sun is out and most of your hair is gone!!! scalp sunburn is absolutely gnarly and takes a while to heal so stay safe out there!!!
