hi! i just wanted to share this after seeing your 7 anon! i had a larry interaction with louis last year! i brought my rbb bear to the stone pony show and he pointed at it, nodded, and smiled then walked away. he could’ve chosen not to engage with me, but he did sooooo….
this is a video of it
Ohhhh that’s so amazing. 🤩 I’m very happy for you that you got noticed like that!!
I’ve totally blocked out all the interactions at LTWT and FITFWT. But it’s definitely worth mentioning that Louis is sooo different to his fans in person vs. in interviews.

hey!! i saw your post about moving to ireland and that is definitely in my plan for the next few years! i’m in college and i’m studying abroad there hopefully next spring. would you be able to just tell me some of the basics of what it’s like to live there? like transportation, expenses, housing demand, etc! thanks in advance 🫶
Hey, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, of course I can. I'll talk about the basics here but if you'd like to go into details that would suit your situation more (for example, if you're planning to work or not etc) feel free to pm me 😊
Transportation
Transportation depends on the city you'd want to live in, I can only speak for Dublin right now so that's what I'll go into. When it comes to public transportation the standard ticket is valid for 90 minutes on all transport, including switching between different bus lines and trams. It's €2 if you have a leap card. Leap card is a plastic card you'll have to buy when you arrive (for €5 euro) either at the airport or at one of the special spots in the city center. Once you have it you can charge it through the app, at spar shops or at ticket machines and tap in or out at buses, trams (called luas here) and trains (dart). There is also student card options for cheaper. You can find more information here:
Find out more about saving with Leap Card in the Dublin and its surrounding counties.
Unfortunately, the buses are not very reliable so if you're planning to use public transport the safest bet would be to find housing near either of the luas lines. (There is a green and red line. Green one is considered safer but I never had any trouble on either, that's just what I've been told by the locals).
Lots of people bike around or drive. I can't drive but I had a couple of friends with US drivers licence who had no problem getting an irish drivers licence in a sensible amount of time.
Expenses
Dublin is bit expensive to live in. I would say I spend around 280-300 euro a month on groceries. If you move around the city 5 days a week it costs around 80-100 euro a month on public transport. Rent averages 650-1000 a month on shared housing and so far my bills came down to 60-80€ a month but I haven't been here for the winter yet and I would assume it all depends on your housing situation. Minumum wage currently is 12.70€/h and is said to be rised next year but will likely be rised to around 13 euro.
Housing
Currently there is a housing crisis but it is possible to find a room. It just takes longer time to find anything decent for rational pricing. To find a place to live you will need to do viewings in person, so if you won't do student halls etc I would recommend getting an airbnb first or subleting a room from somebody for at least 2 weeks, even a month and spend that time on viewing as many places as possible. (Subletting is usually a lot cheaper and you can use the adress to set up a bank account if you are living there long enough to recieve a letter from the bank. It is important to get premission from the owner of the house to do that. They usually don't mind, people here are super helpful and friendly. The letter from the bank usually takes a week to get to you but can take longer). Both regular rental housing and subletting is posted on daft.ie.

To secure a flat/room they usually want you to show a job offer or last two paychecks. It can be different for work visa holders. It's good to save up 3 months rent in advance + deposit (which is usually equivalent to one months worth of rent) and use it as a negotiation leverage, offering to pay in advance once you secure the room.
Don't try finding anything on Facebook and never pay a deposit before viewing. There is a lot of scams around.
Necessities to function legally
Get an Irish phone number!!!
People rarely respond when you add foreign number as your contact information. It is especially important to secure flat viewings and job interviews. Your best bet is to visit Ireland before you move (maybe when/if you'd want to visit collages or unis for open days) and buy a sim card with a phone number. You can get one with a phone plan of monthly payment of 15-20 euro. Once you have it, activate the card and use that phone number for everything.
PPSN
Another important thing is PPS Number. Its kind of like a social security number. It is given to you by the government so you can pay taxes and be registered for social services like healthcare. I think you can apply for it on a different basis when you have a visa but I am not sure. Otherwise, you'd need to have a job offer or letter of employment to apply for it. Sometimes when you're applying for renting they can ask for this number too. You can read more here:
To apply for a PPS Number, you need a basic MyGovID account. You need to upload copies of your identity document, your proof of address, and
Irish bank account
Try to get an irish bank account as soon as possible. You will need a permanent adress in Ireland to apply for it. You will need a bank account to apply for most of the jobs but once again it may be different for visa holders.
It is a bit of a tricky loophole situation at the beginning with setting yourself up legaly so I would say securing the phone number and an adress is the most important at first. You can handle anything else after. You've got this! 😊
TL;DR you will need:
Leap card
Irish phone number
Irish adress
Irish bank account
(Job)
PPS Number
If anybody has any questions or would like to discuss their situation in more detail feel free to send asks or pm me. I'll try my best to help out. Stay strong lovelies! 💕
heyy again! i had a meeting with my study abroad advisor and he told me about some other and easier options in ireland like limerick and cork! i was wondering if you’ve been to either one of those cities? 🫶🫶
Hi lovely! Unfortunately, I haven't been to either. I heard good things about Cork tho. I think out of those two Cork will be bit more queer friendly if that is something you'd want to consider 💕
you’re so sweet!! this made my whole night, thank you 🥹💖
Hi!! I'm glad and is just the truth. I always looking for to see your posts. They are just so cute, great and original and it takes time and effort to make them so I really appreciated it.
