SPANISH CIVIL WAR MEMORIAL IN BELFAST AT WRITERS SQUARE

In the 1930s, nearly 1,000 Irishmen followed in the long tradition of foreign service by enlisting to fight in the Spanish Civil War;

SCULPTED BY ANTO BRENNAN A few years ago, while I was in the process of photographing this memorial, a passerby asked me why I was interested in a statue of an American soldier. There are a number of memorials to Belfast’s Spanish volunteers, from this bronze statue at Writers’ Square, opposite St Anne’s Cathedral, to the plaque in The John Hewitt bar. Note: Hewitt and his wife, Roberta, took…

Does anybody else hate the need to know everything about it when you get a new hyperfixation but then you get overwhelmed by the amount you need to know so you just give up and become depressed

because your brain isn’t being satisfied by the knowledge of your hyperfixation and you’re tired from being overwhelmed which only makes the depression worse???

Happens to me all the time…

i think part of what makes the IDW Sonic supporting cast so endearing is how well they fit into the franchise as a whole. like the Archie Sonic characters were created by and large to match the SatAM continuity, which was created by and large to give context to things happening in the games because it was made at a time when audiences knew shit from fuck about these characters or their world... so those characters kinda retroactively just don't mesh with the games at all. they're adjacent to an adjacency to the main franchise, so trying to imagine them existing in the tone and context of the modern games doesn't line up.

but then you look at the IDW characters, and they are entirely, wholly made to fit into the same mold and world as the games without being redundant expies of existing characters. Surge might be "another rival to Sonic", but she fits a narrative purpose Shadow, Knuckles, and Metal Sonic completely don't; the stories you can tell with Surge and Kit are unique to them, and no other characters would fit those roles. same with Tangle and Whisper; they make the world feel lived-in, remind you that things are happening and having an impact on people whenever Sonic and co. aren't onscreen.

they also have that quality that Pit has in Smash Brawl, where they feel like they have this super storied history and evolution over the course of years that we just didn't get to see. until i actually read IDW you could've 100% convinced me the IDW-originals were all updated versions of forgotten side-characters from spin-off games like Dark Brotherhood or Rivals, and i think that says a lot about how well-conceived they all are.

There's a dagger in my heart, but I'm here anyway with episode 6 of Peaceful Property.

As suspectet there was much gay angst this episode but gay angst is still gay so here we go:

1

Home dreams of Peach in his bed.

And this is what dream Peach says to him:

It takes Home a while to remember that Peach's not supposed to be there. But before he does, the scene that his sleeping mind paints is very domestic. Peach looks right at home sleeping in his bed. Not like a friend staying over but like a partner who's always there. Dream Peach reacts to Home telling him he had a nightmare with the reassurance that he's here so Home doesn't have to be afraid. You know, like a partner would do. Because Peach is safety and comfort to Home. And then he pulls him back to lie down with him. And Peach is laying down turned towards Home and he looks completly unguarded. And that's how Home wishes them to be.

There's two common dream phenomena in this part of his nightmare. The waking up but you're actually still dreaming and the good dream that turns into a nightmare. This moment, before Peach starts bleeding and attacking Home, is the good part. This is what Home wishes would be reality and it's clearly a level of intimacy that goes beyond platonic. And even when the dream turns back into a nightmare, they're still in Home's bed, Peach is straddling and choking him.

That is quite an intimate method of killing someone. So even in Home's guilt induced nightmares, there is a big emphasis on the closeness he feels to Peach.

(Also when he wakes up for real, the first thing he does is look/feel for Peach in the spot where dream Peach was sleeping, so.)

2

Home keeps seeing Peach all bloody so he's jumpy like Peach used to be.

Peach is worried about Home, but now Home can't find comfort with Peach in those moments because the very sight of him is a reminder of the guilt that haunts him.

3

The next time we see Home (attempt to) sleep, he uses both pillows and sleeps right in the middle of the bed

perhaps in an effort to not let himself dream of a certain other man in his bed?

And yet, when he realises sleep won't come, Peach is still the person he calls. (And Peach answers without hesitation)

4

Home has a contact picture for Peach. And not just any picture either. It's one that looks like he took it from either Pangpang's stream or Peach's social media. And because the picture was taken during the events of the frst episode, it seems like Home has had that contact picture for Peach pretty much from the start. And maybe other people feel differently, but in my opinion, going through the trouble of setting a contact picture for some random guy you just barely met seems strange ... unless he was already kinda crushing on Peach, of course. And to choose one where/cut it so that you are the only other person fully visible in the picture? Alright, Home.

(Compare that with his ex gf who was saved as Baby #13, no pic. I'd say it's pretty clear whom Home is more serious about)

5

Home wants to know Peach's dream.

As soon as he learns about it he starts planning its realisation. And while part of this is definitely him trying to make amends before he even tells Peach the truth, he's also genuinely excited to help Peach with this. And he even goes the extra step, because Peach said nothing about getting a do-over with Chai-Un. So that part is Home knowing how to help Peach without needing to be told. And it's Home wanting to add something extra to Peach's wish to make it even better.

He is so excited

and proud that he gets to do this for his boyfriend.

And when they succed? Well those are truly some heart eyes

He even gets a Peach-initiated hug as a reward

6

At this point Home and Peach regard each other (and Pangpang) as family. They protested it when Pangpang initially brought it up but by now they have fully accepted it.

Look at Home's happy little smile as he's watching their antics.

And Peach's reaction to Home taking on Chef Hong's mantle again

No more annoyance or exasperation at Home's antics. Now it just makes him happy.

Happy family group hug. Kan isn't part of the family yet because she's still holding back (and she's also about to break apart this happy family so the red is quite fitting), and we'll see what happens with Suradech. But for now it's Peach and Home and their youngest child Pangpang.

Again Home allows himself to be vulnerable with Peach. And just like Home helped Peach to achieve his dream, Peach is giving Home what he always wanted. A family.

7

They CHOSE to walk like this. Peach could have just closed his eyes, or they could have blindfolded him if Home wanted to make extra sure he wouldn't peek. But no, they chose the option with the most touching. Obviously.

8

Pangpang has long dreamd of her brother bagging a rich man. And she certainly seems to approve of this one.

9

Peach really trusts Home now. (Because of course we need to build them high so the fall hurts more)

He asks him to help with the cooking even though Home barely knows a pan from a pot (remember, Peach inviting Home to cook with him was a big step symbolising Peach letting Home in, at the beginning of their relationship.)

He trusts him with his carrer and cooking future in general when he trusts Home to tell him which the fake chickpeas are. And he states that trust explicitly when introducing his dish

Even when everyone else is panicking his trust in himself and Home remains steadfast.

Home's insistence last episode truely allowed Peach to take a major step in his growth.

10

Obviously the thing Home wants to confess is the hit-and-run thing but it is still interesting that he is prompted to do so by Chai-Un ccoming out to his dead mother

11

Pangpang is back to streaming and her viewers are back to shipping

12

He can have 1 (one) husband instead.

13

And now to the tragedy. (fitting number I guess)

In the first place it was heterosexuality that lead to the crash because he picked up the phone after his ex gf? kept calling him. (Seriously, Home? Baby#13? Wow.) (also there's that 13 again)

But more importantly, it was looking good. Home was ready to confess, Peach was in a state of mind regarding Home that was probably as good as it was ever going to get to receive that confession.

And yet it seems like everyone outside of their little family conspired against them. Kan didn't give Home the time, Kid took his agency, Suradech and the evil lawyer enabled Kid. Even fucking Best had to chime in so Home wouldn't get his chance to confess. The only one who tried to keep them together is fellow family mamber Pangpang.

Unfortunately the manner in which Peach found out naturally left him feeling very betrayed by Home. And so he doesn't let himself hope that Home wouldn't just hide this from him, that he wouldn't send his lawyer after him. He gives up. Walks away like the unpriviledged heroine of an inter-class romance he is. Head held high. Not taking the money to show that's not what he cares about, to show the heroines moral superiority over the evil rich family. Not giving them the satisfaction of seeing him cry.

And meanwhile Home is running after him, held back by his evil rich environment, struggling but ultimately unable to do anything but watch his love walk away even though he was ready to risk it all for him. (We get a punch again, here. But this time not out of fear but out of anger and with full intentionality. Because this is the last straw for the rich love interest. It's the only way he can express his frustration at having everybody else act on "what's best for him".)

But that's ok! (Yes, this is cope but I'm also serious.) Because it just makes more obvious than ever that their's is a love story. This whole last part follows romance tropes, exactly. And BL conventions state that Home was never going to get the chance to tell Peach himself. Home needs to run but be too late anyway. They need to be separated and alone and crying tragically! And so we end with both of them alone, Peach crying in the shower, Home back to eating fast food by himself. All of this is episode 11 standard fare. The only difference is that we're getting it in episode 6 already. Which gives me hope that they'll give us a proper exploration of how they will inevitably get over this that's deeper than the usual "they kiss so everything's ok now".

Can you do pros and cons when a man have his Venus squared the mars of a women ? Thanks if you do

Sure!

𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗦 (partnership)

Mars represent drive, our willingness, ego , scars and ways to take an action. Meanwhile the Venus; Our preferences whether in love and in life.

It seems like if you have your Mars square in someone's Venus more likely there is a tension between you and whoever it was

So the relationship is more like this:

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒

📍One '"passive" and one is "active "

📍One is "stable" and another one is super "aggressive"

📍End up competing with each other due to insecurities —either in oneself or projecting it to other people.

📍Venus person can't change the Mars person. But Venus person can adjust for Mars person.

📍Prone to behavioral issues. A lot of arguments especially for Mars persom

📍Affairs both side

📍Dealing with blended beliefs

📍Addition to aggresivesness

📍Sexual issues

📍Tendency to reject the partner (if not in relationship)

📍needs a lot of Time to understand each other

📍Mars person can leave the Venus person so fast.

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗦:

📍intense sexual relationship

📍 sex as a conflict resolution for couples

📍Mars tends to chase Venus person especially if it's venusian degree or venusian aspects..

📍Venus person can shock his/her Mars partner like imagine sending his/her own nudes to that Mars person. Anything!

📍Plenty opportunity. They can learn being together.

that's all for now! ❣️

Personally, I am not in favour of this placement since it sounds unhealthy to me before the two couples realise their worth. But of course, It could work out especially if there is efforts, time, open-mindness and awareness.

Sometimes I think about the past

Because I know we were able to sit and do nothing

For hours

If we wanted.

No question to it.

Because then,

Everyone had the time to fully decompress. To the point of real

Boredom.

I think about the past because it gives me a space to do that.

It gives me a reason to simply be, to ponder the walls around me. Enjoy the colors, fabrics and textures of the world.

Vibrations of a train nearby when it shakes your room,

or music so loud it threatens to rearrange your heart

To hear crickets on the first hot night of the year

And it’s mid June—

You can pay attention to things like that when you’re bored like this.

Enough to start realizing the weather is never the same as yesterday.
