@ Apple: Lock your bedroom door and turn up the music.

What do you think of this image? I found it in yesterday Drawfriend and want to write a fic based off it. Any ideas?

@ Apple: What about getting out of the house for a while?

Maybe this will cheer you up a bit.

@Apple: Isn't Belfast currently on fire? I can't imagine it being any cooler out there...

I thought Belfast was going to be rioting tomorrow. Is it today?

What, we have to schedule these things, now?

Of course. How else will all the rioters know when to show up?

From what I understand it's technically a holiday. Or something. It just happens to be a holiday(Or something) that is primarily celebrated by setting stuff on fire.

Yes, today is the holiday were the loyalists march around the city, celebrate the disenfranchising of Catholics hundreds of years ago, sing sectarian songs and burn giant bonfires, with some time left over for drinking and rioting. So the city is closed...I'm stuck in here, it's too warm to go into my room, and I just want to draw but the two fuckers I'm unfortunately related to wont fuck off and let me get on with it.

So... let me see if I've got this right:

You're in North Ireland, which is separate and I think Catholic? And there's a holiday where people who don't like the fact that they're a separate country celebrate a victory by the country that your broke away from, over their country - a subject of such contention it spawned a terrorist organization. A victory that also lead to the disenfranchisement of the(Assumed) religious majority.

...sounds like a shitstorm just waiting to happen, If I've got that all right. Jesus.

Large crowds, bonfires, anger and drinking. What could possibly go wrong?

Ugh, sounds like a miserable time, Apps. Not much I can say or do will help.

Logic, they do not have it.

Not quite. 'Ulster' (of which Northern Ireland is six of it's nine counties) is predominately protestant and loyal to the crown (loyalist). The rest of Ireland is predominately Catholic. In the past, the Catholic majority had no right to vote, hold public office, carry firearms, go to school etc after the introduction of the Penal Laws following defeat of the (English but Catholic) King James' army at the Battle Of The Boyne (River) in 1690. The 12th is about celebrating all that.

Many claim that the Orange Order are like the KKK if they celebrated the establishment of the Jim Crow laws. After partition in 1921 (were six counties of Ulster became Northern Ireland under British rule and the rest eventually became the republic of Ireland, a separate country) the Orange Order liked to remind those Catholics living in N.I who was in charge...with violence and intimation. It helped that like 90% of the Order's members where also members of the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force. Some think the IRA caused the troubles of 1969-1994/2007...what actually happened was that the UVF were shocked at Catholic Nationalists daring to ask for an end to discrimination (inspired by Doctor King's movement in the 60s) and celebrating 50 years of Irish independence...and promptly started murdering them left right and center. Cue IRA number three rising up to fight back.
