#OTD in Irish History – 20 May:

1311 – The war of the O’Briens of Thomond escalates as the Norman-Irish become involved on both sides: the de Burghs support Dermot O’Brien and Richard de Clare supports Donough O’Brien. There is a pitched battle at Bunratty on this date, with heavy losses on both sides; de Burgh and others are imprisoned. 1648 – Truce between the confederates and Inchiquin; its adherents are excommunicated by…

Im supposed to be studying for my exams but the course im currently studying sucks so im going to make this fun my doing my end of the year annual wrap-up every once in a while. I used to do them on Google Docs for the last few years, I do a ranking from a few categories like top songs, top singers, top books top book series top ships etc.

I do this so I can look back at what I liked that specific year and to keep track of how my taste evolved and what fandoms I joined etc. And since I just joined tumblr it’s a great way for you to get to know me!

Favorite authors :

1- Cassandra Clare - one of the best moments of this year for me was meeting her for the first time, I completely lost my mind and it made my day, I love the Shadowhunter Chronicles so so much

2- Rick Riordan - I have loved the Riordanverse books ever since I started reading PJO at age 10 (8 years ago now wow) and it made me so emotional to watch the PJO TV series last December, then to read The Chalice of the Gods right before summer (I know I was very late but I was insanely busy trying to get into university just like Percy) it felt like I got to grow up with the characters and yeah just love the Riordanverse so much. If I could be anywhere right now I would be in Camp Half-Blood.

3- Alice Oseman - I still haven’t read all her books yet but I loved reading Loveless (as someone currently in their first year of uni AND in the process of figuring out if I’m aroace or not) and don’t even get me started on how much I love the Heartstopper comics and the show. I’m planning on rereading Solitaire sometime soon and on reading Alice’s other books. LGBTQ+ representation is so so important and I will die on this hill, it’s amazing that Heartstopper has become so mainstream and showcases so many LGBTQ+ characters and storylines.

4- Suzanne Collins - I recently reread the Hunger Games and it’s insane how many people are writing essays or filming video essays about these books and movies even now, because what she’s written is still relevant to this day. All the characters are important, every detail is essential and adds so much to the story. It’s awe-inspiring how thought-through and profound everything is, and I am looking forward to reading HG5 !

i honestly don’t really have “favorite authors” per se the way i have favorite series or favorite books so umm yeah honorable mentions are

5- Holly Jackson (read AGGGTM trilogy this year and I stayed up reading AGAD until 2am it was exhilarating)

6- Casey McQuiston (The Pairing was so fun!! They write some of my favorite romances)

7- Kristin Cashore (the Graceling Realm series are soo underrated go read them!! Complex flawed FMCs who are all strong in their own way and btw I haven’t read Seasparrow yet it’s been sitting on my shelf for a year now)

8- Roshani Chokshi (loved the Pandava series loved The Gilded Wolves haven’t read the rest yet but I am definitely getting around to it)

9- Holly Black (write a book abt Vivi and Heather and how they got back together after TFOTA and my life is yours!! Also Taryn apologist it’s not the hill I will die on and I get the hate but pls it’s not the most evil thing someone has ever done in these books or ever)

10- Jonathan Stroud - I read Lockwood & Co this year after watching the TV show last year and right after finishing The Empty Grave immediately went back and rewatched the show. Phenomenal series loved the found family ans Netflix cancelling the show was a crime.

Cassandra Clare: is a straight woman who writes compelling straight protagonists but also a lot of really well-written queer side characters

Shadowhunters fans: why doesn’t she write more queer characters agsghfjgklhl😠😠

what kind of judicial system exists?

"Bleh, what a question. Let me see what I can remember."

"When we first moved here, there wasn't really a police force or anything. It was mostly vigilantism, with the Exploration Teams stationed here from Red Bay acting as enforcement. If you could avoid pissing them off, you could basically get away with anything."

"We only really got a proper police station after our own Guild was properly established and the Red Bay affilated Teams left us alone. Our sherriff right now is a Weavile named Briar Rose. She still works under Red Bay officially, so we still haven't been able to fully separate from Red Bay."

"The court system... is really complicated and annoying. I've only been to court once."

"Ugh..."

"That was not a great time for me. Or for any of us. I don't like the searchlight of the law system. It makes me feel..."

"Vulnerable."

"We won in the end, though. And he went to prison for several seasons, adding up to a total of three years. And he can't come anywhere near me or Wish Town anymore. So that's good news!"

"Gods, I'd hate for him to somehow find out we have kittens now. The last thing we need is your insane ex harrassing us again."

Ruins of the O’Davoren Law School | Cahermacnaghten, Co Clare

The Ó Duibhdábhoireann (O’Davoren) family were scholarly clan of Corcomroe, Thomond (modern-day Co Clare), active since medieval times. Famed for their sponsorship of schools and knowledge of history and Early Irish law, the Uí Dhuibh dá Bhoireann were known throughout Ireland as a literary family and held estates in the Burren down to the mid seventeenth century at the time of the Cromwellian…

How throwing a #Christmastree cost £650,000 in #compensation

To “swinging the lead” and “pulling a fast one” we can now add “throwing a Christmas tree” as a euphemism for trickery or deceit after a court in Limerick in Ireland dismissed Kamila Grabska’s £650,000 compensation claim for injuries sustained after a car accident in 2017. She had claimed that the injuries to her back and neck were so disabling that she had been unable to work for more than five…
