“Of course I wrote most of the Constitution myself. I remember hesitating for a long time over the US presidential system. But it wouldn't have done - we were too trained in English democracy to sit down under a dictatorship which is what the American system really is.” - Éamon de Valera (1882-1975), former President and Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland.

Eamon de Valera, a leader of the Irish independence movement, delivered an address to a crowd estimated at 40,000 at the Polo Grounds late in 1920. The speech was a memorial in honor of Terence MacSwiney, the Lord Mayor of Cork, who had died in a British prison after a 74-day hunger strike in October.

Pedro Albizu Campos meets Irish Republic Leader Eamon de Valera in Boston and Campos later becomes a consultant in the drafting of Ireland's constitution [they were trying to separate from Great Britain]. In Harvard he would also learn about Subhas Chandra Bose, an Indian nationalist in defiance of British authority in India.
Ireland being under the colonial control of a much larger empire - Britain - would influence Pedro to take a closer look at that Nationalist struggle and draw lessons for his own homeland's struggle.

It was also at Harvard where Pedro established a relationship with two Catholic priests that motivated his commitment to Catholicism as a means of preserving and defending tradition in the face of colonial opposition. The Irish Father John Ryan, Father Jack Ryan, and Father Luis Rhodes are said to have discussed Catholicism with him.
It was also during this time that Pedro studied the works of Jaime Balmes, a 19th century Spanish Catholic Priest known for writing in defense of the values of Catholicism and Spain. Interestingly, Jaime Balmes would go on to be quoted by many Irish Nationalists. The influences of Balmes on Pedro was clear; he provided the philosophical basis for their national struggle as a people of Roman Catholic tradition against a non-Catholic invading force.

I love your Alan Rickman fics! but sometimes i just insert myself as the masc one cuz im a boy... would you.. maybe make a Male reader pov? cuz i feel so left out with the fanfics (And please Eamon de Valera?? or Phil Allen)
Tumblr media
Title: Styled with Love
Summary: You and Phil have fun.
Pairing: Phil Allen × Male! Reader
Warnings: none
Author's Notes: Thank you very much for your request! I hope you like it, this is the first time I write about Phil. (And oh, I wrote this with a male reader in mind, but you can read it as a gender-neutral reader too.)
"Are you sure about that shirt, darling?" Phil's voice floated from the other room, his tone laced with playful skepticism.
Tumblr media
You stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of the shirt you had chosen for your day out with Phil. It was supposed to be a simple outing, just the two of you enjoying each other's company, but Phil seemed determined to make it difficult.
You rolled your eyes, knowing this routine all too well. "Yes, Phil, I'm sure. It looks fine."
But Phil appeared in the doorway, a mischievous grin on his face as he scrutinized your outfit. "I don't know, love. It's a bit... bland, don't you think?"
You sighed, feeling amusement bubbling up within you. "Phil, we've been through this. I like this shirt. Can we please just go?"
But Phil shook his head, still wearing that cheeky grin. "I'm sorry, darling, but I can't let you go out looking like that. It's simply not up to my standards."
You groaned inwardly, knowing there was no point in arguing with him. Phil had always been particular about fashion, even more so now that he was no longer in the hairdressing business. He seemed to take great pleasure in teasing you about your wardrobe choices, always insisting on making last-minute adjustments.
With a resigned chuckle, you headed back to your closet, searching for another outfit that might meet Phil's approval. As you changed, you couldn't help but chuckle to yourself, realizing that maybe Phil just wanted an excuse to play fashion critic.
"Alright, how about this?" you asked, stepping back into the room in a different shirt, hoping this one would pass muster.
Phil's eyes lit up with mock seriousness as he took in your appearance, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Now that's more like it," he declared dramatically, his voice filled with mock satisfaction. "You look absolutely stunning, my dear."
You grinned, feeling a sense of satisfaction at Phil's over-the-top approval. Despite his fussiness, you knew that his intentions were good, and you couldn't help but be amused by his antics.
"Thank you, Phil," you replied, your voice tinged with amusement. "I'm glad you approve."
And as you headed out together, hand in hand, you couldn't help but feel grateful for Phil's unique sense of humor and love. Despite his quirky ways, he was the one who made you laugh and feel special, and for that, you would always cherish him.
As you and Phil entered the diner, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, enticing you both with the promise of a delicious meal. You settled into a cozy booth by the window, the morning sunlight streaming in to warm your skin as you perused the menu.
Lost in thought, you barely noticed when Phil nudged you, his voice low and urgent as he whispered, "Hey, love, check out the woman sitting at the table across from us. She's been eyeing you since we walked in."
You glanced up, catching the gaze of the woman in question as she quickly averted her eyes, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. You couldn't help but chuckle, a surge of confidence swelling within you as you turned back to the menu.
"Can you blame her?" you replied with a playful wink, your tone light and teasing. "I mean, look at me. I'm irresistible."
Phil rolled his eyes, though there was a hint of amusement in his expression. "Oh, here we go again with the ego boost."
You chuckled, reaching across the table to playfully nudge him. "Hey, you know it's true."
But before you could continue, Phil's hand shot out, swatting your arm with exaggerated force. It drew the attention of nearby diners as you blinked in surprise.
"What was that for?" you demanded, feigning offense as you rubbed your arm where Phil had made contact.
Phil's eyes danced with amusement as he leaned in closer, his voice filled with mock seriousness. "I can't let you get too cocky now, can I? Gotta keep that ego in check."
You laughed, shaking your head at Phil's antics. Despite his teasing, you knew that his love for you ran deep, and you couldn't imagine spending your life with anyone else.
With a smile, you leaned back in your booth, ready to enjoy your meal and the playful banter that always accompanied your outings with Phil. With him by your side, every day was an adventure filled with laughter and love, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
As you and Phil stepped through the door of your home, Phil couldn't resist a playful quip, "Well, if it isn't the dynamic duo returning from their diner escapade."
You chuckled, the tension from earlier dissipating as Phil's lightheartedness washed over you. Closing the door behind you, you felt the magnetic pull drawing you towards him, prompting a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
In one swift movement, you closed the distance between you, your lips crashing together in a fervent kiss. Phil responded eagerly, his arms wrapping around you as he joked, "I hope you didn't eat all the pie without me, darling."
The passion between you ignited, and as you kissed, the world around you faded into oblivion, leaving only the two of you locked in a playful dance of tongues and lips. Phil's playful banter continued as he teased, "You know, they say kissing burns calories. We might need to order another pie."
You laughed into the kiss, the tension melting away as Phil's humor lightened the mood. His touch was both playful and tender, a testament to the unique bond you shared. And as you lost yourselves in each other's embrace, you couldn't help but feel grateful for the undeniable connection that bound you together, heart and soul.
With a mischievous glint in his eye, Phil knelt in front of you, his hands expertly removing your pants and underwear. "Alright, time for the main event," he joked, his grin infectious as he prepared to take control of the situation. And with a shared laugh, you surrendered yourself to the playful passion of your beloved Phil.

I keep mostly innocuously calling our cat '"the long fellow" because when he stretches himself out he's like the width of my bed and my mother HATEEEES it because she says I'm accusing the cat of being like eamon de valera. btw
