#OTD in 1914 – Cumann na mBan, Irish women’s Republican movement, was founded.

Ní saoirse go saoirse na mban. Over 100 women gathered in Dublin to discuss the role of women in the lead-up to revolution. The meeting, at Wynn’s Hotel, was presided over by Agnes O’Farrelly. The first provisional committee of Cumann na mBan included Agnes MacNeill, Nancy O’Rahilly, Mary Colum, Jenny Wyse Power, Louise Gavan Duffy and Elizabeth Bloxham. They adopted a constitution which stated…

Hey, it's me again! Sorry for being mousey last time.

I know this is a bit recent but if I wait too long I'll either lose the idea or my nerve.

For some reason, I adore the Transfem "Kieran" Duffy HC. It's almost certainly projection, because while I was never held hostage by a roving band of psychotic Irishmen, I am shy, neurodivergent, and paranoid to the point of having escape plans I will never use.

I know you already did one for 1899 Kieran (which may or may not have cursed me with a love of an incredibly niche HC for an already very niche character) but could you maybe do one for Timewarp?

Alternatively, if you would like something different, Sean and his father learn about everything that happened in Ireland after their deaths. The 1916 Easter Rising, The Troubles, or Margaret Thatcher as a whole.

As another alternative, disregard this ask all together, and go get a snack. You probably need one.

A snack would be good rn I'll have a snack with one hand and reply with the other.

Transfem Kieran,,, beloved.

Bessie motherfucking Matthews can smell gender dysphoria like a bloodhound and would notice the second they brought the non-verbal smelly homeless former-O'Driscoll home.

Kieran's been sleeping rough for a month, just like when he was first let off the tree in Horseshoe he desperately needs a bath.

After a slight miscommunication about hot water (and the concept of not needing to share bath water), Kieran is sitting on the couch two hours later shivering in three layers of clean clothes and a blanket with Bessie very gently and patiently brushing the knots and mats out of his hair. The first thing Kieran makes close to a noise is a delighted squeak in the back of his throat as Bessie says what nice hair he has. Bessie immediately ties a little braid in Kieran's hair, to another overjoyed squeak.

Kieran absolutely latches onto Bessie as a safe person. When her husband assures her Kieran had always been around the women in camp and just seemed to prefer their company, Bessie takes note.

Innocently saying that they weren't expecting any more timewarpers for a while so Kieran has to go shopping in her wardrobe for a bit. While Hosea's clothes are in there too he picks out a v-neck and a chunky knitted cardigan and looks very content in women's clothing that still fits loose because of how scrawny he is.

Bessie also offers to help Kieran shave. Getting a close shave was still a fairly rare occasion thing in 1890s so she could easily say it was a treat to make timewarping seem less scary.

Instead Mair gets a moment of seeing herself with her hair perfectly washed and brushed and soft and clean shaven in femme-presenting clothes that didn't even exist in canon era and very quickly goes from 'yay men can be pretty in modern era' to the gender euphoria of 'wait am I a man? or am I a pretty lady? can i,, oh i can be a pretty lady!!'.

Bessie would also be euphoric because a) timewarp actually giving people a chance to explore gender identity in a way they couldn't in canon era and proving all the fear and learning to adapt to modern era is a good thing b) she finally gets a daughter because throughout all the children she has accidentally adopted over her lifetime (Arthur, John, Sean, Lenny) she is yet to actually have a daughter due to dying before the gang picked up Tilly.

Bessie would adore brushing Mair's hair and taking her shopping to get fancy nice smelling soaps and clothes. Mair would still be a hoodie gremlin but the classic oversized paired with a mini skirt but the hoodie's so long it just looks like she's not wearing anything under it.

Exception being first-time she sees a dress she absolutely must have. It very much looks like something from the early 20th century and only modern to the gang, with a bell skirt and petticoat to match.

Processing timewarp honestly takes up so much of the gang's time most would struggle to actually recognise Mair as Kieran except for the OG timewarpers who would respect times change I guess Mair is her name now. 'There's cars now and no one owns horses, and robbing banks and getting away with murder is almost impossible, you have to get an actual paying law-abiding job, also sometimes people change gender'.

Molly would absolutely fall in love with having another girl in the gang who doesn't actively hate her (her and Karen still have some beef to work out) and spend hours doing Mair's make-up with all her fancy products and Mair would adore it. Otherwise she is useless at doing make-up because that shit is hard.

She's somehow an even bigger horsegirl because she really identified with the being a girl part. People thought Kieran was obnoxious with his love of horses? Mair is worse, infinitely, infinitely worse. The few who make the connection Mair was once Kieran Duffy? The way she talks about horses.

My Little Pony backpack that goes everywhere with her.

She makes friendship bracelets for her favourite people, because she would never part with any of her precious horse figurines for any reason. She would still bite Sean for touching any one of them.

Bessie: precious darling daughter would you like to get our nails done together? Mair: yes please!! - after - Mair: yay pretty nails!! pretty!! Bessie: Bessie: it's okay if you want to take them off Mair: oh my god yes please

100 Days of Productivity (7/100)

First off, I'd like to wish a happy Easter to everyone who celebrates ♡ I hope your holidays went well!

I took a week off to focus on my mental health for a bit, and during that time I haven't studied at all, and only "practice" I've had was talking to my partner, and using German from time to time (⌒_⌒;) I also spent this week deep cleaning my room, and I finally finished on Sunday. It shouldn't have taken that long, but work was exhausting this week, so I didn't want to force myself even more.

I am now going back to studying, but I'll give myself less work throughout the week, as I believe studying every day is what caused the burnout. I'm moving onto the second unit, and I'm happy my pronunciation is getting better ♡ I'm also trying to get back into reading, after being in a slump for ages. I'm starting with J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.

Duffy's Birthday or What I did on my Memorial Day Holiday

[meret118]

Cosmo UK: Hey Charlie. Why did you want to tell a story centred on Greek mythology? Out of all the myths you could have explored, why did you pick this story to tell?

Charlie: I was a massive nerd who was obsessed with the original Clash of the Titans film; I watched it weekly, if not daily. I got given a book of Greek mythology for children, and I just loved it. As I got older, I started really enjoying any reinterpretations of the myths, like Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad and Carol Ann Duffy's The World's Wife. She has a brilliant reinterpretation of Orpheus and Eurydice, which was a big inspiration.

More at the link.

This contains spoilers for the series! I recommend watching it first. No word on a season two yet. :(

I came across this really cute lavender plush rabbit on Taobao, and the title of the listing, in true Taobao style, was like . . . "Celebrity purple rabbit plush toy stuffed animal." I had to know more so I searched for "celebrity plush" and soon found that rabbit was StellaLou, a friend of Duffy the bear. Which in turn led me to this fascinating video. I ended up ordering Duffy & Friends plushies for my great-nieces and -nephews for Easter (upcoming). :)

DP Writing Prompt

Someone in the DP universe suddenly starts acting weird.

They seem to have gained additional personalities. Except. The personalities aren't random.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write this person using any personas available on the voice actor's roster.

For instance, Dark Dan would be Eric Roberts in the US version.

Some fun characters for Dan that you could play around with include:

Sal Maroni from The Dark Knight

Dante in Dante's Hell Animated

Dr. Lee Parsons in Star Trek: Captain Pike

Detective Jack Boudin in Beverly Hill Bandits

Steven from the Drew Carrey Show

The Master/Bruce from Doctor Who

Raymond "The Madman" Ricci from Falcone

Sam Winfield or Roy Hubert from Law and Order

Mongul from Justice League

Agent Thompson from Heroes

Ken Kramer from CSI: Miami

Andy Armus from Criminal Minds

Reed Perkins from Burn Notice

Senator Starling from High Heels, Low Standards

Richard Sheridan from Hawaii-five-0

Charles Forstman from Suits

Dr. Albert Beck in Stalked by my Doctor and all the sequels lol

I find it so funny to think about Dan just constantly switching between a spy, lawyer, cop or mafia man until he just randomly gets a small bout of "I am now Duffy the talking cat," or "I am suddenly the fundraising coordinator for the Glee club." XD

The cause of this phenomenon could be a parallel universe problem or not. I leave that up to you.

You could also include an Easter egg that Dan is convinced Julia Roberts is his sister. XD

Have not had time to take new pictures of my newer rocks, as I have been super busy working on my MSc, so I thought I would upload some reflected light images from my thesis! If it seems like these are something folks want to see, I have loads more where this came from. Plus tumblr has a lack of reflected light microscopy images anyways. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this stuff!

Adeline: Hmmph, it's April already, huh? Time's really flying so fast.

Susato: I heard that there's an activity called "Easter hunting eggs" in Western Countries. I wonder what's that and have you ever doing that before, Miss Adeline?

Adeline: Oh the finding eggs one? Well, I don't really remember, but I think I'm over the year to do that anymore. Maybe you could do this in 221B?

Susato: Oww that's too bad. And I doubt I could find all the eggs in the house, you knew how messy they could be. Especially Naruhodo-sama.

Adeline: Fair points.

Lady Duffy: Adeline!! How are you my lovely lady?

Adeline: Lady Duffy! It's surprising to see you! I heard that you were in America?

Lady Duffy: Well, yeah, but I came back two weeks ago. The America trip inspired me so much that I can't wait to design new night gowns.

Adeline and Susato:

Lady Duffy: Speaking of it, why don't you two become my models? I've just made some design for Easter days.

Adeline: Well, we appreciate your invitation, but I am not sure if we could be the proper model......

Lady Duffy: Nonsense! Two pretty young ladies just what I need. Now, let's head back to my mansion, shall we?

Adeline: Pull the tips if you feel uncomfortable, Susato. Call Naruhodo and Asogi ASAP so that they'll come to the rescue. *Whisper to Susato*

Susato: Don't you want to contact them or Lord Van Zieks right now, Miss Adeline?

Adeline: Nah I thinks it's interesting, and I am really curious about the design that Lady Duffy wants to show me, it could be my new inspiration for the next book.

Adeline: But I get that if you don't want to come with me. And I don't want to force you.

Susato: ... It's a good way to learn more about other culture, and I am not alone. So yeah, let's do this!

*Looking at the outfits*

Adeline:......

Susato: Do we really ... have to wear this? This... this fabric?

Lady Duffy: Awww you're so shy aren't you, my little bunnies?

Susato: Li-little bunnies...?

Lady Duffy: I know——. You two have some suitors, and these ourfits are our weapons for those men, ladies.

Adeline: I suppose that would be some gowns but not this, this—— I can't say that.

Lady Duffy: Just something new, my dear. The British are too old for the night activities sometimes. We deserve to have some fun in our bedroom, wouldn't you agree?

Adeline: Perhaps you're not wrong but——

Lady Duffy: Excellent! Now change them for me, I can't wait to see you two adorable bunnies come out! *Shove the clothes to them and push them into the change room*

Adeline: *turns the doorknob and found it's locked* I guess we don't have choice right now.

Susato: Can we call Kazuma-sama and Naruhodo-sama right here?

Adeline: Yeah go ahead, please! And then we can leave here soon.

⟦Prosecutor's Office building⟧

Naruhodo: ...Yes, it's Naruhodo Ryunosuke. Susato: Naruhodo-sama!! Naruhodo: !? Ye-yes I heard you, Susato-san, what's wrong? You sound like we have an emergency. Susato: Because it is! Miss Adeline and I came to Lady Duffy's new fashion show models, but the outfits were too hilarious and inappropriate to wear! Still, we don't think we can leave Lady Duffy's mansion alone. So...... Asogi, who listened to the whole words Susato just said: Susato, we'll come to you, don't worry about it.

Susato: Kazuma-sama, Susato...don't know how to say more to convey my appreciation.

Barok: Lady Duffy you said? The famous designer for ladies' gowns?

Susato:... Yes, Lord Van Zieks. Miss Adeline and her seem to be friends.

Barok: How is my feline friend going? She's not there, with you?

Susato: Miss Adeline took the outfit and went to change it minutes ago.

Barok: Now I know where you are, refuse if you don't want to fulfil her desire, Miss Mikotoba.

Before the phone hung up, the three gentlemen heard the doors open and another woman's voice.

Lady Duffy: Oh my lady, why are you still in your kimono? Don't you like my design? Or the colour?

*loud click sound*

Barok: Lady Duffy's mansion is on the south side of London. We'll take my carriage to get there. There's no time to waste.

Naruhodo: Better hurry, It's rare that Susato would be so anxious and ask for help. They might be in danger.

Asogi: Time to save the princesses.

On the subject of tucks, who wants one of my favorite serger techniques: serged pintucks.

Sorry for no progress pictures. I did this today at work, but I'll take some pictures if someone needs them.

You set your serger for a rolled hem (this is a 2-thread), disengage your blade, and then fold the fabric and serge along the fold.

Here I used 40wt rayon embroidery thread for the green tucks, and metallic embroidery thread for the gold one. I did the alternating colors by having two sergers set up with different colors (hey, I work in a sewing machine store. I'm going to take advantage of that).

I've been told that you can do a 3-thread with one of each color in the looper, and then alternate which looper has the high tension, but I don't think you'd get quite as clean a look.

When you press the fabric and get all the tucks to lay in one direction, it looks a little more like this.

Unfortunately, I don't currently have any non-bear pictures of this technique.

This is another one where you don't see it done too often in commercial lolita, but that doesn't mean it's not a technique that could be used. A lot of handmade lolita it about finding the right balance of texture and scale, and a few of these near the bottom of a skirt to highlight a nice lace could add some pretty good texture.
