AMAZING. So, if you'll indulge me in a little local politics for a moment, the context to this is that Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in the UK - and the source of a large proportion of Northern Ireland's drinking water - is horribly polluted with blue-green algae, agricultural run-off, you name it, it's in the drink. This, and I'll not mince words, because vampires need a good verbal staking, is because some parasite of an Earl who's barely even been to Northern Ireland owns the bed of the Lough, and has profited (e.g. via dredging operations) from letting it get into this state.

It's worth noting that, as well as currently being hopping mad about the state of Lough Neagh, the Northern Ireland public have always been very good at celebrating Hallowe'en, so adding a peripatetic cursed doll to our unique cultural traditions at this time of year is very apt move...

For your ask post:

If they were ever granted one wish, what would they wish for?

Sighs in wistful lactose intolerance, "to eat a cheesecake." 😔

#rp #wren speaks #wren tries to be funny #writing the rest OOC bc Wren is very unlikely to say any of these out loud 😆 It's going to get a bit convoluted from here #and I really want to take this chance to add something more in depth instead of just something quippy as usual #a little backstory tidbit #Ok so Wren was born in Dublin but her family moved to Belfast #a violent and overcrowded city with deteriorating conditions at the time HL takes place (I did my history homework lol) #at some point Wren's childhood was plagued with riots and arsons #it's why she dislikes the spell Incendio 🔥 #yet even since attending Hogwarts #her parents for some reason insist on staying in Belfast #more than anything Wren wants her parents to see sense #that whatever academic or business pursuits they have aren't worth risking their lives every time they leave the house #and maybe convince the Ministry into relocating her parents to Hogsmeade #or at least somewhere nearby in Scotland where she can keep an eye on them #but her parents are as stubborn as a mule #and they don't write to her often #Wren has no choice but make do with the occasional letters from home #then go to bed every night riddled with anxiety #thinking whether her family made back home safely #😃

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality

#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh #like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good #but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees #the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support #and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well #like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people #maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a #whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously #women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women #or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak #like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years #but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people #i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse #drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so* #and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles #+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries #and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation #isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote #*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now #and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad #but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing #and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this. #love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol

Watching the dungeon meshi anime is really scary. Americans in there.

#Idk I read the manga forgetting that America existed #In my mind they have normal accents u know #Marcelle is an incredibly out of touch posh girl so she's from dalkey or if we r going international with it she's a posh londoner #Chilchuck is so obviously a working class lad from like. Well my heart tells me Fermanagh but somewhere more industrial would make more sen #From Fermanagh worked for years in Belfast lets say #Laios is some doctor's son from a small town who went to blackrock college & got bullied so badly that he left to be a spelunker #Falin also went to a boarding school. It went better. #Senshi is my uncle who lived in a shed without plumbing or electricity for 3 years #If they are American Chilchuck should at least have the accent from the city where good will hunting is set. #Me Fein #Dungeon meshi
