in book 1, the billboard for The Warmest Winter has Victoria and a random man on it, but in book 3 The Warmest Winter is a lesbian drama
im gonna go ahead and assume that it's due to PB Fucked Up but. i think a good in-universe explanation is that The Warmest Winter is Lesbian Brokeback Mountain so all of the promotional stuff makes it look Heterosexual

did someone say... northern ireland travelogue?
i’ll start by saying that i was there for two days so i didn’t exactly have the deepest experience. mainly what i saw was the legacy of the troubles (which to be fair isn’t exactly made discrete). so my account is probably a bit unfair to northern ireland! my main, subjective takeaway was that it was quite... weird, but for many, many people living there it’s not. so while i’ll talk a lot about things that strike me an outsider to sectarianism, and i’ll discuss subjectively how i saw the north differ to the south, in a way that’s doing northern ireland a disservice. but that said... its not like there isn’t much to talk about
if you’re wondering when i first heard the word “wee” it was on the train from dublin to belfast. and if you’re wondering when i first got offended it was upon exiting the train at belfast and seeing a sign that said “londonderry”
lad quotient of belfast is higher than in dublin, smaller than in cork, as is to be expected. homo quotient surprisingly high. jerseys are political here. i did spot of few GAA ones.
belfast to me seemed very different from any other irish city i’ve been to. lots of new, nondescript, sorta ugly buildings which i’m not used to seeing in an irish city centre. but at the same time there was old buildings that were much more impressive and beautiful than you’d find anywhere else in ireland, even in dublin (maybe worth mentioning that at the time of partition belfast was the largest city in ireland).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the fact that these buildings were mixed with (and somewhat overshadowed by) bland new development i found strange. i haven’t seen any building in the rest of ireland as classically beautiful as belfast city hall (first one), but then note the bland glass building in the background. also, from many of the main streets you can see the completely uninhabited mountains very close nearby, making the city seem startlingly small. it has an urban vibe in the centre similar to dublin but the centre itself isn’t that big. and while i’m talking about the centre i should say that its mixed, modern and bears little relation to the kinds of things i’ll be talking about below. at night (albeit a monday night) it felt lively and safe. though this wouldn’t have been the case thirty years ago, you can’t tell when you’re there.
btw i had considered that there’d be union jacks in belfast so i wasn’t so surprised at the sight of those but it was seeing statues of queen victoria that made be think “oh, this place really is all that”
so now we get to falls road and shankhill, only a 10 minutes walk or so from the centre. this area is famous for the “peace wall,” which separates the catholic falls road from the protestant shankhill. this was the centre of much of belfast’s violence during the troubles and today remains a deeply political area. it’s a poorer residential area. i went to falls road first and then to shankhill so i’ll talk about it in that order.
both disconcerting names but at the end of the day i’d rather fall on a road then get shanked on a hill
on falls road you’d see an irish tricolour maybe every few minutes walking down the street. LOTS of palestine flags and pro-palestine murals here (in the north, some people express their politics by supporting either palestine if they’re catholic, or israel if they’re unionist. in my experience i didn’t see any israeli flags though the unionists showed little engagement with politics that weren’t their own. conversely the nationalists are supporting catalonia now.)
along with the irish tricolour there were many rainbow flags hanging from streets and houses, and many, many murals such as these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
seriously a LOT of palestine stuff
the messages of the falls road murals were nationalist, leftist, and supportive of disenfranchised peoples across the world. still, i found the level of politics on the street gave it a hard edge. ahh but i was very naive then and had not yet been to...
shankhill! lads without prejudice this area was quite bizarre. whereas i saw maybe five tricolours along falls road, shankhill looked like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i stress that these photos do not convey the amount of union jacks along this road. for the first picture, the entire street was like that. for the second picture, the entire row of houses was like that. i went into a catholic pub along falls road and saw a single, small tricolour behind the bar. i went into a protestant pub on shankhill and the entire place was covered in union jacks and slogans of “no surrender”
“no surrender” was their only slogan. their murals were graphic accounts of IRA terrorism, sometimes combined with very graphic images (to be fair, I saw some graphic images displayed by catholics in derry also). the posters had captions like “IRA - Sinn Fein - ISIS no difference.”
where falls road was political, shankhill was territorial. they displayed the crimes of their adversaries but ignored their own. i think the murals on shankhill are a response to those on falls road. they feel more than a bit propagandistic.
as i said, i didn’t find falls road to be exactly pleasant either. but with its LGBT support, and its support for oppressed peoples, it at least didn’t feel hostile. now HERE’S me being non-objective: unionists can’t seem to grasp to a righteous political cause. not that being unionist is an invalid position (i disagree with it, but they have their reasons), but their side was the side of the oppressors. they have no cause for the political engagement visible on falls road.
in general it was much, much more common to see union jacks flying in NI than tricolours. again, depends on the area, but while catholic areas would have a few tricolours, protestant areas would have many union jacks. the catholic areas were often ostentatious with... other things, though. still, never very much confusion as to which side you’re on.
Tumblr media
this is divis flats on falls road, which looms over its part of belfast. until 2005 the top two floors were an observation post for the british army. during the troubles soldiers had to enter by helicopter at the top of the flats because of hostility from the locals living there. that’s the strangest thing about the troubles: the domesticity of the violence. despite falls road and shankhill being highly political, i found it hard to imagine the violence that must have taken place there. they were otherwise fairly normal-looking residential areas. an apartment building like this would also be a rare sight in the south. anyway anyway anyway in this picture you can see (if you look closely) one tricolour and two palestinian flags hanging from the windows. have fun spotting them as i write my post on derry...
it’s a privilege to live without considering politics and in northern ireland i found the very visible politics, from whichever side, to be wearying. it’s wearying to talk a walk across belfast and suddenly see a dozen union jacks, and know you’re in a protestant area. at the same time, i didn’t exactly love the sight of the irish tricolour either.

London has been a stop on my journeys a lot. I can’t avoid mentioning how many cool things you can discover there. Things that most of the tourists actually are not aware of. Especially by using some fancy and expensive guidebooks or, even worse, prepared trips by some company. Being indoors of Buckingham Palace was never my ambition. I’d rather jump in some huge bookstore. Or in some unknown place that is not completely overcrowded with tourists. I can absolutely relate to Claude Monet who despised tourists while being one. These people are nuts.
So here’s my pocket travel guide or things that geeks and nerds might find mind-blowing. Nothing much, just some hints I’ve discovered by myself. Because trust me, whenever I am in this city, it is completely different. I had believed that after this trip I would have most of my “To-Visit” list checked. Well, I’ve found even more fun stuff to discover!
  Platform 9 ¾
This one’s cheesy, I know. I’ve been a Potterhead my whole life but my trips have never got me there. Took a few pictures of this damn trolley but wasn’t exactly eager to wait in this huge queue to get a picture of me. Well, not a fan of these anyway. It seemed fun though. You get a wand and a house scarf of your choice. Not sure if you have to pay 10 pounds for your own pictures but it sounds quite ridiculous to me.
I was actually more interested in the Potter shop there. It was everything and nothing I’ve expected. There were damn owl cages stuck to the ceiling and people saying “There’s a ghost in that section” whenever some things fell or something. I felt magical there. But the shop itself is magically overpriced. I need to buy my scarf eventually but maybe not there since it is over 30 pounds. At least books are quite all right.
Anyway, it’s a necessary stop for Potterheads and, to be honest, it is amazing even if you’re not exactly a fan of the series.
Details: it’s not on the actual platform which is kind of sad but luckily there’s no need to enter to the platforms which you know… costs money. If you’d like to run between 9th and 10th platform be my guest but muggles will get you down soon enough.
  House of Minalima
Getting not so far from Pottermania, this one is so damn cool. I wouldn’t have found it without my Londoner friend and I’m so glad. It’s a house made by Potterheads for Potterheads. It is a shop on the ground floor, but everything else is amazing. It has a chimney with the letters falling out of it, a lot of film props and a nice small corridor with Wanted wizard posters. Not necessarily a very fancy place but definitely a pearl in this huge city. This is something that may be easily overlooked if you don’t have a clue about it.
Details: Soho
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Soho
I find nothing fancy in there but anyone enjoying any kind of Asian culture would get a nice vibe. You can buy all kinds of stuff from Japan or Korea. I assume anyone visiting London knows about that place already so it’s just a mention.
221B Baker Street and Sherlock Museum
I am still unable to accept how many great things London has because of… Scots. Arthur Conan Doyle was one of them and here I am discovering his greatest fictional characters interiors in the centre of London. I felt a little off being there and I wanted to shout that Sherlock was never really here, but it seemed plenty of people got that weird belief he was an actual person. Well, Sherlock fame may be a little low at the moment but it is not making him less popular.
The museum itself is lovely, though. It has small interiors with a lot of Victorian-era items which are real and were actually used back then. And the rooms are incredibly detailed. Obviously, everything is based on the books themselves. So there’s that skull, Victoria bust, make-up set and everything else Sherlock used. You can find a lot of resemblances between these and the series with Benedict Cumberbatch. I was always amazed how detailed the series is and how they tried to create Sherlock to be true to his Victorian self. The film with Robert Downey Jr is fun but it does not have these similarities. It’s not, you know, very British, to be fair.
Then there’re also a bunch of wax figures that shows the famous characters themselves and a few people from the most popular cases. Obviously, Moriarty is there, too. What I enjoyed was also plenty of things connected to the cases as well. A painting of hounds might be my favourite but there’re a few more I’ll let you discover on your own.
Details: 15 pounds entrance; You need to buy a ticket in the store next to the 221B door; Baker Street
Film Museum
It was not what I’ve expected. Well, I might have hoped for something more but apparently, the exhibitions are changing quite often. So for me, it was rather a James Bond museum than a Film one.
It was incredible nonetheless. There are actual cars used in the films and a lot of props I couldn’t believe were reachable. I was happy to see an ID for Ben Whishaw’s Q, but it’s me. I guess a lot of men (generalizing here) would be happy to see the actual Aston Martin. I’m a complete ignorant of the cars subject but I know my man was in some kind of heaven. And not only Bond’s cars are there. A lot of villains models are there as well. Do not ask me which. Car ignorant. But good looking ones.
Furthermore, there were a lot of other vehicles including boats and planes from the Bond films, too. Apart from these, if you’re not interested – tuxes. Not necessarily ones with bullet holes or something but the sharp and handsome ones.
Details: 15 pounds (concession 9.50 for students); Covent Garden
SIS Building
Being in the Bond subject there’s MI6 building I find cool to see. You know, the one from the films. It’s literally a Secret Intelligence Service building. And it’s actually easily reachable while strolling next to the Thames. Just hope for a nice weather.
There’re plenty of other secret agencies buildings throughout London if you’re only eager to search for those so good luck there. Maybe they’ll appreciate your secret skills after such search, eh?
Shopping time!
Forbidden Planet
This is my go-to place whenever I’m in London. Usually, I visit it a couple of times not to miss any deliveries. This is literally my heaven. You get two floors of geek stuff. The ground floor is full of figurines of all kinds and other collectables. Oh, and there’s a huge glassed exhibition with most beautiful figures (and most pricey). So just dive in the world with all kinds of stuff your heart might desire.
The basement is more of a brain desire. It’s full of comics and books and everything paper. You can find a cute bargain only by making a research in their older comics or find a book you’ve been looking for. Personally, I still love their special stuff such as Fight Club comic with Chuck Palahniuk autograph. Pricey, but damn, worth it. There’s very small count of times I leave Forbidden Planet empty-handed.
Details: Covent Garden
Disney Store
You can find everything on Oxford Street. And Disney store is the one you really want to enter. Even just for a quick look, it’s worth checking out. There’s even that damn carriage from Cinderella. And obviously, everything that Disney has rights to, which includes Marvel merchandise. Who knows, maybe it’ll include all Fox-related stuff as well?
Anyway, it’s a fun shop to enter. If you’re in need of a Funko related to Disney then it has quite normal prices. And there’s some stuff only available in their stores so it’s worth checking just to be sure.
Details: Oxford Street
HMV
Recently HMV got worse than ever with their prices but old love forgives a lot. I’ve been checking out this store since my very first London trip and it has changed greatly with time, especially since there’s not many HMVs left now. But if you’re in need of some culture related item it’s worth checking out, especially since it’s right in front of Disney Store.
WHat’s in there? Everything and nothing, actually. They used to have only music and films, but right now there’re also shirts, Funko Pops and other geek gizmos, plenty of books and comics and so on. So basically if your needs aren’t covered anywhere else, it’s worth checking. Sometimes they have some bargains you could enjoy.
Details: Oxford Street
Lego Store
It’s a new one. I mean, I’ve just seen it this year. But damn, it’s almost like a small Legoland. There’s everything Lego, you can check out the bigger sets come to life on the VR and see quite a lot of cool constructions. These include Millenium Falcon, Hulkbuster, Shakespeare, Telephone Booth (1:1 size) and so on. Of course, you can build something yourself… If you’re cool with sharing with kids. And if you find a place to yourself.
But if you need a rest and level up your sugar there’s also M&Ms store right next to it, so feel free to wonder there as well.
Details: Leicester Square
Porgs!
Foyles
Everyone loves four storey bookstore! If not then you might be on a way to start. It has tons of books, comics, stationery, art albums and tons of other stuff that may just get you curious. On the top floor, there is a cute little cafe and some adorable stuff. So just don’t lose too much money there.
Camden Town + Mega City Comics
This one I haven’t visited for a while now. But I’ll hold a special place for this part of London. This store was the one I spent my last money on my very first ever comic book. That’s a kind of things you don’t forget. It was the very first sheet of Avengers vs X-men and I recommend this story from the bottom of my heart. And the place as well.
Camden Town is actually something else. It’s a place where all the possible “weirdos” get together. There’re a lot of shops for every possible subculture and it’s so damn incredible. You can find there very dark and gothic houses, a lot of punks with their mohawk being almost as long as their arms and so on. I loved it there. Everyone’s so friendly, most of them are fine with taking pictures with you. So go ahead and take a look around. Oh, and don’t forget that a lot of booths wants you to make some deals by some trading. Not my thing, actually, but just to be aware.
Is that it?
No, not really. While researching the subjects I’ve noticed plenty of other fun museums or places I’d like to visit. I’ve been hearing that WB Harry Potter tour is worth its high price so next time I might just check it out. And well, nothing stays the same, so hopefully, I’ll make a new post on the subject after my next visit!
PS. Also, this post was getting so long I decided to leave a few things for the next round. Cheers!
London for geeks London has been a stop on my journeys a lot. I can’t avoid mentioning how many cool things you can discover there.
