a summary of the Monaco Tea, creds to the lovely anon who sent me the article <3
btw most of the information on the family was in article one, the latter were more just info on real estate + off shore accounts
again, this info is all coming from the former accountant of the family:
Prince Rainier III was seriously considering changing succession laws so Caroline would be the head of the family and Monaco as he found Albert to be weak. Albert is said to be the "despised member of the clan" who would stutter while speaking to his father. Rainier even looked into what this would mean to the Grimaldi name since Andrea - at the time 17 - obviously carries his father's name (Casiraghi) and not his mother's (Grimaldi). Rainier told the ones carrying the investigation that this was done in case Albert died.
the funds from Albert's state endowment and his private funds would be mixed all the time.
Albert would say yes to essentially everything his family asked for, including a $30 million apartment for Stephanie
Palmero (the accountant) would frequently buy things for the family to keep "their privacy". He bought Charlene's engagement ring and multiple properties for the Grimaldi's in France. He would pay property taxes for those properties and have the family pay him back.
Caroline and Stephanie would frequently make use of and sell family property (Rainier's cars, family jewelry and art, etc) without letting him know, even though they technically belonged to Albert.
Caroline is in charge of the family's castle in Marchais, which he had an issue with as she would always go off budget.
he makes a note to pay attention to Pierre Casiraghi as he is very ambitious and his dealings in real estate could create problems (spoiler alert: it did)
Caroline is said to hate Charlene
the allowance that Charlene, Caroline and Stephanie receive increases constantly, which worried Palmero. As of late, they were: 1,5 million euros for Charlene, 900.000 for Caroline and 800.000 for Stephanie yearly. This follows the family hierarchy.
 Jazmin Grace receives 86,000 dollars per quarter. In February 2010, Palmero had to spend $5,000 “extra for her birthday”. Albert also bought her a $3 million apartment in New York City.
Albert spends almost a million a year funding Nicole Coste's (the mother of Albert's second illegimate child) fashion business. It's all in Alexandre Coste's name as Nicole fears that Charlene might create issues when Albert dies.
loots about Charlene. She frequently demands high sums in cash, her personal chef is $300 a day, she has multiple undocumented people from the Philippines working in her staff, the celebrations for the birth and baptism of the twins was well over half a million euros, in eight years Charlene spent around 15 million euros when she received 7.5 million euros in endowment (the Palace didn't deny this and said that the accountant was simply told to pay the difference with the family's personal funds), she spent 965,000 on a villa in two and a half months, her office decoration cost a million euros, she requested 3 x 300,000 for her brother's house.
Palmero made sure to change Monaco's regency laws so in case something happens to Albert while Jacques is underage Charlene won't be regent. Instead, the principality will be ruled by a regency council.
Albert has a secret apartment in Monaco, bought by one of Palmero's secret companies. He also got rid of problematic photographs of Albert (hinted at blackmail).
there was a whole system for hiding sums used on "special missions". They were labeled DS (for special destinations) and with time were used to pay for an informal intelligence unit that operated within the police force of the principality. They'd collect information on those close to the family and even on politians of the principality. He would also pay journalists to paint a good picture of Monaco while Hollande was president in France and was constantly criticizing tax-havens.
the DS accounts would be used to hide over-budget situations, including budget for the children's nannies and the budget for the wedding.
they were terrified of the Panama papers, as a lot of money laundering funds go through Monaco and the family had accounts on Panamanian banks.
a link between a Russian billionaire and the Monegasque Minister of Justice was revealed in 2017 and the Minister was forced to resign. An investigation was launched by a French judge and there was fears that the palace would be involved: jurisdictional immunity was granted to members of the sovereign family by order. There was rumours that the French judge wanted to hear the Prince as a witness......he was told to leave the principality. He was accused of having, through his “behavior perceived as authoritarian and vexatious”, “endangered the proper functioning of the criminal justice system”.
the real estate market is a big point of collision here and a big focus of article 3. Nothing too interesting to report - Palmero says he tried mingling in the market to break down the monopoly of real estate owners in Monaco (centered around a bestie of the Casiraghi brothers) while Albert claims Palmero had close ties with some of the developers and tried mingling with things that were of interest of the government in order to make money. The real estate issue was what eventually led Palmero to be fired. Palmero and a former laywer of Albert who was his childhood bestfriend and is also now a persona non grata claims that Albert is now fully under the influence of the bestie of the Casiraghi brothers who now controls the real estate in Monaco.
Palmaro is STILL paying property tax on properties he bought for the family!! crazy!!
Palmero detailed a number of off-shore accounts that hold about 250 million euros of the family's fortune including a company created specifically for Charlotte Casiraghi. He passed on the information from that account to Albert's new accountant at a monitored meeting.
Albert's explanation is lowkey....pathetic. He claims he told Palmero to move all of his family's assets from off-shore accounts to Monaco but Palmero never did it and that was that. He claims he was never able to obtain a precise statement on the family assets due to Palmero's secrecy and Albert just trusted him. He claims Palmero would act in his name and refuse to delay his decisions.

I've never seen a single episode of anything related to watcher but I am eating up all this drama. Also sorry to y'all going through this
i appreciate that anon 😭 i've seen several good nuanced takes on the situation thankfully. the company definitely did mess up how it introduced the streaming service to people: they said in the video they were going to paywall all existing and new content and then in the comments and in the variety article pretended like that was never their intent. the variety article reveals that they were in fact initially told watcher was going to delete all existing content. the CEO in particular but in general all the founders said that the amount they are charging is affordable - specifically that anyone could afford it - which no they can't obviously. As they are now finding out the hard way. The CEO Steven also made an instagram post insinuating people who wouldn't subscribe just no longer want to watch them, rather than the reality which is that a massive majority of the audience can't afford to. Because he is the CEO, people are blaming the entire thing on him, but it's also important to remember there are actually three founder-owners with decision-making abilities in the company. Shane and Ryan are adults, and the way people are acting like Steven is some kind of dictator, Ryan just went along with it but Shane is the people's anticapitalist hero who was simply outvoted is not a great look. Especially the posts that refuse to acknowledge even the possibility of racial biases here. Mistakes were made, poc are not immune to criticism, but let's consider why so many feel like Shane was forced into this by the evil Steven (and people in the comments have literally called him evil for this) and either lump Ryan in with him or give Ryan no agency in the situation whatsoever. Steven is the most likely to have made the proposal as the closest thing Watcher has to a business-minded founder, but the other two clearly agreed with him. They could have just decided not to be in the video. I also don't see a world where they contractually obligated themselves to every whim of Steven's like some people are suggesting.
Do I think they're a bit sheltered in their LA life? Yeah, probably. I'm pretty sheltered myself - I live a comfortable middle class life in Australia, have a good job and am studying law. I could definitely afford the subscription. But I don't want to atm, or at least until they respond to the situation. Are they the worst most evil capitalists because they want to charge money for the content they create? No, not inherently. People supported them on Patreon because of course creatives should be paid for their labour, and ideally paid well enough to live comfortably. But the combo of bad business decisions (e.g. hiring too many staff too quickly while also wanting to pay them above a living wage, not advertising the patreon, not utilising revenue streams that aren't a streaming service like youtube memberships, spending what Ryan has said is hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single season of a series they have called Ghost Files) and the fact the CEO is pretty open about his comfortable lifestyle (drives a tesla which btw folks isn't a luxury car it's just a more expensive one, has a $300 matcha machine, has a series based on fine dining vs more affordable restaurants), means people are understandably mad because they are struggling financially and the founders (from what we know) are not - but they're trying to tell people that 6 USD is affordable for everyone.
It's a lot less to do with the fact of them charging for content as much as the way they went about it and in particular how it's been phrased to people has come across really insensitive. There's other logistics with the streaming service itself that were not thought out at all for international viewers, but I won't get into that here. And the pretending they were always going to leave their content up and telling viewers not to spread misinformation is scummy to me - at least acknowledge that was a mistake you made and backtracked on. It's just a mess but I really loved their videos and hope they make Youtube's Greatest Apology Video Ever (unironically) and try to undo some of the damage.
edit: someone in the replies made a great point that teslas could actually be considered a luxury car in some countries outside of the US, and I fully agree that 6 USD is 1) too much for what they offer, esp in this economic climate and 2) wayyyyy too much when converted to other currencies. I've seen other Australians say the conversion is too much for them but I know viewers in other countries say it comes out to literally thousands for them - if they can even access the site at all from their country.

WIBTA for asking my flatmate to actually go halves in rent + pay on time and / or asking her to help pay utilities?
(Long one sorry)
So I(25 FTM) live in a 2 bedroom flat with my flatmate (>25F) and my cat (11F). I've been living in the flat for around 3 years with different flatmates, and only my name is on the lease. It's always been a 50/50 split for rent even though the rooms are different sizes (mine is the smaller room) which I rationalised for myself as paying a bit more because I have my cat and myself.
However my current flatmate has not been paying half the rent for the year+ she's lived here, which was annoying but I could manage (was only a $30 difference or so), but recently our rent has gone up a lot (like almost $300 a month) which means I've really had to reassess a lot of my spending (hard cause I don't spend a lot outside of absolute necessities). Now this might be assholey but the last time she paid rent (the new amount) it was a very small amount short of half (like less than a dollar) but I already have a lot of issues with the general living situation so kinda want to have the correct amount even if its barely short of 50%.
She often pays rent late (longest was close to 2 weeks, rent is monthly) , which I wouldn't mind if she gave me a heads up or apologised or something but she hasn't at all.
The other issue is that our utility costs are going up. Currently I cover electricity and internet 100% on my own. I was fine covering the internet cause I work from home and previous flatmates didn't, but I did previously go 50/50 with the electricity bill with other flatmates. I probs wouldn't try to push for her to pay 50/50, but maybe if she could pay the difference with the internet (~$10 /month)
Important context (maybe?):
I did not really know my current flatmate before she moved in so we have no established relationship or anything like that
I was desperate to fill the room after my previous flatmate moved for uni, because of this splitting of utilities was not properly discussed before she moved in
I work minimum wage and can't do a lot of hours because of a variety of health stuff / disabilities so my money situation is not great nor stable
She is an international student doing her PhD but money does not seem to be too big an issue for her eg. travelling overseas (not back to her home country), going to music festivals , buying pricey tech for herself, etc.
(again sorry for length, unfortunately I post too much of my cat on my blog to safely pay the cat tax while still being anon sorry)
So, WIBTA for asking my flatmate to actually go halves in rent + pay on time and / or asking her to help pay utilities?
What are these acronyms?

Today wasn’t the best day for Uryu.
The 27 year old just blew over four hundred dollars for someone to come to his house and fix up his fan and his thermostat. Since someone couldn’t stop touching the damn things when he was sleep, which was you, his husband. And boy, was he pissed when he checked the hallway cameras and saw it was you that was constantly turning the fan on and off along with the thermostat. Damn, you couldn’t leave at least one of them alone?! Your excuse was that you were “sleepwalking” and it was the “weather demons” waking you up every two minutes of the night.
Uryu was a doctor, and he made plenty of money—but it wasn’t that part that ticked him off badly. It was the fact this wasn’t your first time doing this! Last year he went through the same situation because you kept sweating in your sleep one minute, and the next minute you would be freezing with your nose running. But Uryu knew you were sensitive to the weather, so he wasn’t upset with you about it.
But this time, as you would say, really rusted up his gears.
You were currently laying down on the couch with an apple juice and bag of chips in your hand as you watched the man fix the thermostat. As you watched him you couldn’t help but feel a pair of holes burning into your head, which was no other than your boyfriend. Maybe if I ignore him then he’ll stop looking you mentally spoke to yourself with a small form of sweat appearing on the side of your head. He couldn’t stare for long right?
10 minutes later, he was still glaring. And for someone who said he was no longer angry, he surely didn’t keep up to his word. This man had his arms crossed and was tapping his foot against the shiny wooden floors while staring you down.
“Are you still mad?”
“No, what made you say that?”
“. . . You’re literally burning holes into the side of my head, Uryu. I understand if you’re still upset, y’know.”
“I can never be mad at my beautiful husband. My gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous husband. The one I work for so he can get what he wants? The same one who not only broke the thermostat, but somehow the fan as well? No, I can never be upset at you.”
You couldn’t help but deadpan at the way he said all of this with a fake smile on his face. He was a terrible liar, his lying skills were so bad and noticeable till the point of his ears turning a dark shade of red every time he lies. Which was pretty cute, in your opinion—back in school, you would often teased him about that. And the fact he was in 15 and walking around with a middle part in his hair and his pants being jacked up to his belly button, as if he was a grown man in a child’s body.
You let out a sigh and placed your snacks down so you could make your way towards him. Once you were within his space, you immediately wrapped your arms around him—pulling him closer to your body with your head resting on his shoulder. Just like when he was a teenager, his body immediately became as stiff as a mannequin for a nearly thirty seconds. Until he realized, you were his husband, not his boyfriend anymore. His eyes completely softened and he wrapped his arms around you as well. Even though you weren’t looking at him, you could feel the warmth in those eyes behind those glasses.
“I’m so—”
“Don’t worry about it. I have the money for it.”
You smiled and chuckled when he said those words. This man couldn’t choose whether he wanted to be happy one minute then said the next, it was cute.
Tumblr media
You could feel the sweat dripping from your forehead as you laid on the pillow. You hated being hot, but you didn’t want to break the thermostat or fan again and you didn’t want to make Uryu upset again, so you decided to just lay there . . . motionlessly. Your eyes sealed shut, you tried not to think about it but how the hell can you do that when you feel like your shirt is melting off your body?
As you felt yourself melting into the bed you suddenly felt a refreshing and cool breeze on your skin. Which made you relax into the bed and open your eyes almost instantly, trying to figure out where that sensation came from. When you looked up, you saw a fan in on your side of the bed, and your husband who was adjusting the settings on it as well. You couldn’t help but smile softly at the man who was focused on the fan that he didn’t even noticed you were awake.
“You’re doing that for me?” You spoke softly, your eyes holding nothing but love and admiration for the man in front of you. You felt at ease now, like you were given a cold drink of water on a hot summer day. Uryu turned his head to you with a soft smile on his lips as well before he grabbed a mini remote from the nightstand and laid it beside your pillow—you took a small glance at it and it was for the fan. It had speed settings, rotating mode, and an off button.
Instead of being upset with you all day, he decided to make your problem easier for the both of you. How considerate of him.
“Here, now we both don’t have to worry about you getting up every two minutes of the night.” You felt his lips against your forehead while you’ve already sunk deep in the bed. You could feel his presence even closer to you when you heard the bed creak and arms wrap around your waist, pulling you closer. Oh, how you loved your husband more than anything.

As per the post I just reblogged.
My debt is no one's business and no one's concern. I'm not going to fault an anyone but myself because I'm easily manipulated when I am in love, I was dating an addict and I was easily swooned into paying for everything when he lost his job. I also paid for his dope. I also paid for his gas, his groceries, his life basically for 5 months so I spiraled into debt. I also became an addict for 2 months , I won't elaborate because it isn't tumblrs business but I almost lost my life twice this year.
When someone purchases content or sends me money I always make sure that they can afford it and I show how appreciated I am for it. My friend and I almost lost our lives in a car accident back in April. I almost lost my life due to addiction where it was extremely noticeable.
I went on a leave of absence for stress & mental health from my job because I wasn't eating, sleeping and I was suicidal. I was visibly sick and finally decided to take time off work. I'm collecting sick benefits which pay me about 300 dollars bi weekly. That doesn't cover the fucking cost of anything.
Lol nails and hair? Where? I get my nails done once every 5 months and use 10.00 box dye. A hotel room is because I collect points and use a credit card. Any money * earned from content is put towards bills or groceries. This person is so envious that they can't wrap their heads around it.
I was also fired from my job while on stress leave so now I am jobless as well. I've been diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety and I'm being referred to a psychiatrist because I might have extreme manic depressive disorder.
Every choice I make is my own, but I am not going to sit here and let some coward behind a screen tell me and my friend that we are scam artists when we have been through the worst year of our lives.
She lost her sister, her uncle, and she almost lost her best friend (twice). You're mad because we make a little extra cash selling booty pics? You're lame and need to find a new obsession please. This town is so small and creepy I can't even bother to care about what people say anymore because I'm just grateful to be alive and have a network of people who care about my health, safety and sobriety.
So anon, from the bottom of my heart - please put all your energy into something else & respectfully go fuck yourself.

hii it’s ‘🪦’ anon. i wanted to come back for a quick second and share some stuff. recently, i’ve manifested so much stuff since i first sent an ask and even before that with only being in this year for two months.
month of janurary in order:
- my parents divorce being over after years (everything working out how we planned). this was also the reason i had got into LOA all those years ago, so i did cry for like a day straight, it was really my wakeup call.
- 2 week vacation to my favorite tropical area for the month of feburary (i just got back from traveling and i enjoyed myself sm)
- i tapped into the void state about two times that month as well. i affirmed for always being aware of when i’m in it.
- a healthier relationship with my family. the past few years i did struggle with feeling close with them but we’ve grown so much in a short amount of time now.
- 300 dollars worth of clothes + a skims dress (the package was gonna be way more and i had already spent a lot of money for the vacation in advance)
- three new pairs of desired shoes
- this was random but, my mom always gives me money monthly to spend freely or to save but i had already gotten that months worth. so i was like my mom is gonna give me more money, not even 30 minutes later she’s asking how much i wanted?? 😭😭
month of feburary in order:
- over the years my family has definitely gotten more lenient especially since i’m damn near grown LMAO but it feels nice to do stuff without feeling like there’s going to be consequences, so i manifested for my family to be more lenient with my desired things.
- to get rid of my cold/flu a few days before vacation. i had gotten “sick” (like a common cough and runny nose) from a family member. i haven’t been sick in years so i was genuinely pissed about it. i affirmed one night when i was sleepy to wakeup without the sickness, and when i woke-up it was gone.
- my sister got paid earlier than she expected. and the amount was a few more thousands than she normally would get. it was funny when she came to tell me because she always has to make a joke out of everything. 😭
- my mothers approval for more piercings and maybe even a tattoo? (probably not, i’d def pussy out LMDAOO)
- so this was the biggest one besides the divorce but we got offers for two homes. the same homes that we looked at years ago and it honestly freaked me out. i genuinely did want to move again so i could be closer to my friends house to hangout more (we both met through LOA about three years ago and just so happened to live almost an hour away). i glanced at both house listings online after talking to her and i believed that i was gonna move. NEXT DAY, MY MOM AND SISTER GOT TWO CALLS BACK TO BACK. so now we’re moving into both homes because of something that happened 😭 it’s not bad but it was funny. i’ll be there in less than a week so i’m excited!
- another thing that happened was earlier this month. i tapped into the void for fun through this guided hypnosis video post made by gorgeouslypink and i was curious. i didn’t have any intent on manifesting anything there nor did i actually think i was gonna go through with it. i laid down right after and i tapped into it immediately while following the last speaking. personally, i don’t feel the need for the void because at the end of the day, ts is a deep meditative state inside of me. manifesting in the void is instant, and so is manifesting any other way. i also texted my friend right before and after. she thought i was gonna do it another day by u disappeared for like an hour or two and she was shocked. i was gonna send proof of everything but idk how to do this shit through anon but changing the font tbh this is sad.
all of the stuff that i mentioned within these two past months were all manifested without using the void. i hope that this can bring more positivity and enthusiasm for a lot of people who’ll see this post. ofc you can use the void but realize your power, it all starts with you and ends with you. don’t forget that you promised yourself these things so give them to yourself. sending love 💓 i’ll check back in monthly probably bc this is fun sharing my experiences and using the pink font color 💟 see you next time!
babes……. HELLO YOU DID THAT🥺i’m so proud and happy for you ! 🫶🏾 you’re only gonna get better and better and i can’t wait🥰i hope you enjoy all you’ve manifested 🕺🏾and have an absolute ball

Could you do a cute one shot or headcannon of reader and Agatha baking together?
Like maybe one of then isn't the best so the other has to help?
Icing | Agatha Harkness x Reader
A/N: Hey anon! So firstly I want to apologize profusely for taking almost a year to get this done for you, I've been distant from Tumblr, and even though I had the fic as a WIP, I couldn't find the time to complete it, but it's finally done!
Summary: Agatha wants to start baking again, and requests your help. The only problem is that you have no idea how.
Word Count: 864
TW: Minor swearing?
Tumblr media
Ever since you and Agatha started portraying your roles in Westview, it gave you and your wife a chance to take up new hobbies and activities, since you had to pretend to be held captive in the fantasy as well.
Agatha was next door, and Wanda was baking some sort of Sokovian pastry for the twins.
Being a 300 year old witch, Agatha has a lot of experience in almost everything, of course. One of them being baking, since she has generally done a lot of that in her life. She hasn't baked in years, and she was inspired by the redhead.
So that's why you found her in the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets as you came home from your walk.
You approached her, looking around at all the open cabinets. "So, what's up with all this?" You chuckled.
"It's all Wanda's fault. I want to bake again, I haven't done it in years!" She exclaimed, "We need to go shopping." She added.
You raised an eyebrow at her "Why not just... Use your magic?"
She simply glared at you, shaking her head. "I want the full experience." She grinned, and grabbed your arm as you walked to the car.
You looked at her in amusement, not protesting whatsoever as you entered the passengers seat.
Not even a minute on the road, and she was singing "Sweet Child of Mine" at the top of her lungs as it blasted on the radio. You do regret your life decisions sometimes, but you wouldn't change it for the world.
Westview's local grocery store only has specific things in stock at certain times. Thankfully, since you had decided to go at the time you did, there were baking products.
It was frustrating when Agatha wanted to make a meal, but Wanda hadn't stocked the shop with the ingredients she needed, just because her so called best friend didn't currently need them.
Your luck was fine, so that's when you found yourselves picking up a lot of supplies, a bit too much, just in case it took a while for the next stock.
Your wife had picked up some bags of flour, sugar, baking powder, some cake mixes, and pretty much anything that was baking related.
"Your total comes to 376 dollars."
Agatha looked at the cashier for a moment, "Sure..." She smirked.
Let's just say you only paid 10 dollars, after she used her powers to manipulate the woman behind the cash register.
As you arrived home, the witch placed the five shopping bags, which you weren't allowed to carry, onto the table, and grinned.
"This is perfect!" She exclaimed.
You kissed her on the cheek, and helped her unpack everything.
You smirked, "Of course."
She sighed after everything was put in its place, before thinking for a moment.
"Do you like cupcakes and cookies?" She suddenly asked.
You blushed slightly, "I actually have no idea how to bake..." You admitted, shrugging.
She beamed, and used her powers to bring over the ingredients, along with some cooking essentials.
"Right, we're making strawberry and chocolate cupcakes with cookie toppings and sprinkles, as well as some red velvet cookies, and you're going to help me." She demanded, grinning.
Agatha's smile grew, and took you by the hand over to the counter next to her. "There's a first time for everything!"
The purple witch pulled out a baking tray, inspecting it slightly before placing it on the counter. You handed her the dough, which the two of you had made together, attempting to make various shapes.
You shaped out a cat for a cookie, you think, it could've been a cow, or even a lizard. You weren't quite sure about the answer. Agatha on the other hand, had somehow managed to perfectly sculpt a rose.
Agatha then turned to you, grinning, "Now we get to make the icing!" You smiled back at her, allowing her to guide you.
She handed you a bag of flour, and you carefully took it, and attempting to pour it into the bowl Agatha had set out in front of you.
Most of what you were supposed to put in had fallen out or ended up on you and Agatha's face.
"Oops..." You looked at Agatha, who was completely covered in flour.
Half an hour later, after adding the toppings and finishing up, you finally put the cupcakes into the oven, as Agatha took off her messy apron and smirked. "Most of this mess is your fault," She chuckled, and you rolled your eyes while smiling.
"You know I'm crap at baking!" You whined, and she laughed again, "I know, I know. But I'm so happy that you tried for me anyway!" She beamed at you, and you kissed her cheek as you smirked.
When you heard the alarm of the oven going off, you quickly turned it off, taking the tray out and placing it on the counter top to cool down. "They look great!" You exclaimed, and your wife nodded in agreement. "I'm quite surprised that the shapes turned out so good." She replied.
You both took a cupcake, admiring the mini cookies and sprinkles that you had added, and took a bite. You weren't sure what to expect, but they tasted just as good as they looked, and the same went with the cookies.
Agatha then smirked, "Next time, we're making a cake!"

Hi. Math anon again. Hey you know the picture with all the other birds in it ? I researched some more. I'm pissed about it. In the pictures you can see a barn owl, pigeon, the peacocks (the white one in the back), and a macaw.
Barn owls sculpts are pretty expensive. Not as much as peacocks for obvious reasons, but on high end still. The one in the picture was in midflight position, which would add even more to its cost. From the sites I searched, they ranged from 500-800. Highest end was 800£, which roughly translates to 1,017 dollars. The closest one that matched up was this one, going for 700 dollars.
[Sauce: https://www.storetaxidermy.com/barn-owl-taxidermy-bird-mount-st7383.html]
Pigeon sculpt looks small, pretty common kind of bird. The grey head and fat neck suggest common pigeon, feral or wood. (the lighting makes it really hard to tell). Now, you'd think that due to how small pigeons are, they'd be cheaper, right ? WRONG. The loose feathers of their bodies make it really hard to make sculpts, meaning there's added cost depending on how good a job the artist does in not making the pigeon look like it's going to fall apart at any minute. Grade quality pigeon sculpts go for 700+, almost as much as the owl. And this one isn't posed !! For these guys, any price is fair game, but according to my sources, it'd be about 300 dollars.
The Taxidermy Macaw. That's a Blue gold macaw, barely posed, with what I *believe* is a pole. The average starts out at 1k+. And, if my sources are right, this could also be the same site sbe originally got the two peacocks from:
[https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/more-furniture-collectibles/collectibles-curiosities/taxidermy/taxidermy-blue-gold-macaw/id-f_9053563/This one is 2.5k, and in my opinion looks pretty close to how its posed in the picture.]
[https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/more-furniture-collectibles/collectibles-curiosities/taxidermy/taxidermy-blue-gold-macaw-mounted-on-branch/id-f_6585183/ There's also one for 1.4k.]
That's an average of 1,950k.
So vivziepop spent roughly 2.5k, with the Macaw weighing in for most of it. Peacocks were 6.4k, so the full collection must be 9,440 dollars. And for shits and giggles, lets add the small crocodilian skull from the back. That's around 100-500, but I'm willing to bet its about 200 due to the fact it's open. So actually 9.6k dollars on a bunch of dead animals. Indie animation is in GREAT hands guys
youtube
This, but it's Vivzie and her expensive bird mounts and instead of downloading her shows for free, it's giving her very gentle criticism.

To the te3nytinkers anon who bought to support, I feel you. I bought a doll to support another artist's first preorder, and it seemed according to promo pics that she was going to be a great poser and a lovely doll. Then I got her...she can't hold any pose. Just keeping her legs straight is a hassle, they cross automatically, and even restringing and sueding doesn't help. She's pretty but can't do anything a BJD is meant to do :( I feel really sad about it especially because this same artist made an incredibly successful doll recently with vassssst improvements, but the price tag went up another $300-$400 dollars. I'm def salty.

Our actions, our regrets.
“What changed?” Daeron asked.
“Not your business, Uncle.” Joffrey snapped. Where did this boldness come suddenly? He had no idea. “What I want from you is obvious. The question is, what do you want from me?”
“Slow down, Dragon,” Daeron said. “I want to know. You looked like you wanted to punch me, and now you are here.”
Joffrey thought about telling Daeron everything, but why would he care? Daeron's family was one of the reasons for the disgrace of Joffrey's family. He never cared in all these years. “I decided my pride did not worth 300.000 dollars.”
“Get to the point. What can I do for you? Be mine, what does that mean? Do you wanna marry me?” Joffrey said. Daeron laughed humorlessly. He stopped and considered for a while.
“I want to fuck you. I want to have you.” Daeron said in a quiet voice.
“Fine. For how long?” Joffrey says through clenched teeth.
“A year.” “Half blood valerian, brown eyes, beautiful curls, nice body... Yes, a prostitute in your calibre would cost a thousand dollars a night. So, yes, roughly a year.”
Joffrey turned his gaze to the ground. He felt so humiliated and disgusted with himself.
"Look at me, nephew," said Daeron. Daeron dropped his hand to Joffrey's chest as their eyes met.
Daeron smiled. "I have two rules. Number one. Professional life and private life must be kept separate. Don't expect me to favor you because you're my nephew or my whore." He removed his hand from Joffrey's grip. "Rule number two: you don't disobey me."
Hi, anon! Following is my vision of their first time. Hope you enjoy it. It’s not betaed so I apologize for any mistakes!
When Joffrey stepped out of the bathroom in nothing but a nightgown, he shivered from the cold. The air-conditioner in the penthouse was in full force, making the temperature so low that goosebumps began to creep up Joffrey’s arms.
Daeron was nowhere to be seen. Joffrey bit his lower lip, his fingers tightening around the metal collar in his hand. Daeron had instructed him to take a shower and put the collar on after Joffrey showed up in the penthouse. Joffrey looked over his shoulder, taking a final look at the pile of clothes he left in the bathroom, shabby sweatshirt and a pair of baggy jeans. Joffrey knew there would be no turning back if he put the collar on. His identity, his dignity, his pride, would all be taken from him. He would truly become Daeron’s whore.
Joffrey shivered again. He closed his eyes for a moment before walking towards the study, where he could hear some faint keyboard sound from.
Compared to Joffrey’s near nakedness, Daeron was dressed handsomely. He was in his usual business attire, crisply ironed button-down shirt, light purple tie that matched his eyes and a pair of dragon cufflinks. He looked up from his laptop and frowned at Joffrey’s appearance.
“I told you to put the collar on.” Daeron said coldly.
Joffrey clenched the collar, the pointed metal heads embedding in his palm.
“What’s the No.2 rule we’ve agreed on?” Daeron leaned back in his chair, “If you are not willing to cooperate, I will have to deduct your payment today. Say, 100 dollars off.”
“It’s not fair!” Joffrey spoke for the first time tonight.
“200.” Daeron sneered, “One more word and it’s 300. Now put the collar on and get to work, Joffrey. The money won’t come by itself.”
Joffrey had no choice but to obey. He put the black leather around his neck clumsily, the sharp metal cutting open his finger, leaving a small red stain on the collar.
“Come.” Daeron let Joffrey settle between his legs as he cupped the brunette’s face in his palm, “Now, tell me, have you sucked cock before?”
Joffrey shook his head.
“Well, you will tonight.” Daeron pushed Joffrey’s face to his crotch, “Be good and warm my cock with your mouth when I am attending a conference call.”
A musky scent invaded Joffrey’s nostril. He was not lying; he had never sucked another man’s cock. Why would he? He was no whore. With trembling hands, Joffrey unzipped Daeron’s pants, taking out the blonde’s soft cock.
Daeron’s cock showed no sign of arousal, as if a naked Joffrey between his legs was not enough to arouse Daeron’s interest. Joffrey swallowed as he gently stroked Daeron’s cock a few times before taking it into his mouth.
Joffrey didn’t dare to suck immediately. He took some time to get used to the feeling of cock in his mouth, the softness of its tip brushing against the back of his throat. Daeron’s cock tasted like fresh shower gel and salty sweat. Joffrey had no idea what to do, so he just took a wild guess and ran his tongue over the tip of Daeron’s cock. That was what he would have liked if he was the one being blown.
Daeron said something to the headphone, something about a mis-calculated number in the cash flow statement. His voice was so calm that no one would have guessed that Daeron was having his cock sucked. Daeron kept one his hand on the back of Joffrey’s head, threading his fingers in the thick curls, scratching, tugging and rubbing, playing with Joffrey’s hair as if he was playing with a puppy.
Joffrey had no idea how much time had passed. He forced himself to concentrate on sucking, the only way to keep his mind present. He kept telling himself that he was no longer Joffrey, just a warm hole for Daeron’s cock.
“Enough.” Daeron ended the conference call and pushed Joffrey away, “You are a shit cock sucker, Joff. I am disappointed.”
Joffrey landed on his butt. He kept his head down, too ashamed to look up. He had made a fool of himself. His jaw was covered in drool and pre-cum, his lips swollen and his cheeks sore from all the sucking. Daeron’s cock dangled between his legs, half-hard and covered in Joffrey’s saliva.
“Speak.” Daeron demanded as he pulled Joffrey’s collar, forcing the brunette to look at him in the eye, “I didn’t hire a mute, did I?”
“I thought you didn’t want to hear me.” Joffrey replied, shameful tears threatening to slide down his cheek, “You said you would deduct 300 dollars from my payment if I said one more word.”
Daeron’s eyes narrowed, but he remained silent for a moment.
“Playing smart, are you?” Daeron pulled Joffrey up by his collar, before pinning the brunette on the pristine working desk, “Your mouth is hopeless. Let’s see if your other hole would be better.”
Joffrey let out a surprised squeal as Daeron flipped him over, spread his legs and pushed one finger in without warning. Joffrey’s breath caught from the sudden intrusion. Even though he had prepared himself as best as he could, the pain and the humiliation made him tremble miserably.
“You are loose.” Daeron observed, “Did you prepare yourself?”
“Y-yes.” Joffrey chocked, his legs shaking, the tears finally breaking free.
“How? Tell me.” Daeron pushed in another finger and began to scissor, his other hand pulling Joffrey’s collar, suffocating the poor brunette.
“I-in the shower, with my fingers,” Joffrey struggled to voice his words because the collar had become too tight around his neck, “a-and lube.”
Daeon laughed as he nibbled Joffrey’s pink ear. He soon replaced his fingers with his cock, finally in full arousal. Joffrey’s tears excited him, filling him with the satisfaction that he had conquered a strong-willed warrior.
“This hole is not too bad.” Daeron said before beginning to thrust.
Joffrey screamed in pain as his hole was stretched to its limit, Daeron’s cock invading him mercilessly, opening him up like an explorer discovering a new land. No matter how well he had prepared himself, it was still not enough. Daeron was too cruel, too demanding, too merciless that Joffrey wished he had never agreed to such arrangements.
Daeron kept fucking him with passion. Joffrey could do nothing but whine, submitting himself to Daeron completely. Joffrey heard some rustling sound before feeling something thin pressed on his back.
Joffrey tried to look back, but Daeron wouldn’t allow him. Fortunately, the pressure was gone as quickly as it had appeared. A piece of paper was pushed into Joffrey’s blurred vision.
“Here. Your check, Joffrey. Take it.”
Take it? How? Joffrey’s arms were twisted back, so he couldn’t use his hands. The only thing he could now was his mouth, still wet and swollen from the blow session. Joffrey realized soon enough that Daeron meant for him to take the check with his mouth.
Joffrey obeyed. He took the check between his teeth, careful not to stain it with the overflowing saliva.
“Good boy.” Daeron whispered in his ear.

This isn't art related but i wanted to ask for help. Does anyone have any tips on buying stevie nicks tickets that dont cost one thousand dollars. How did you see her? I want to see her but i can not drop that type of money the max is maybe 300. How can i see stevie without paying insane prices.
i’ll be honest anon, it used to be a lot easier.
pre covid, ticketbastard hadn’t introduced dynamic pricing yet and you could get a floor ticket for her for $150 - expensive but could be worse. i was on the floor for the first 2 times i saw her, but since 2021 tm has introduced so many horrible changes and bots/scalpers have only gotten worse (just look at what happened with eras tour). when i saw her and billy last year i paid $300 for the worst seat in the football stadium and it was mainly bc i wanted to see billy. it’s getting too expensive to see any bigger classic rock act and i will probably never see stevie again. honesty, i’m probably done seeing big classic rock acts entirely unless paul mccartney tours again bc i’m a barista with a credit card payment and i can’t justify it.
i’m sorry i can’t be more helpful, but i will say that if you’re willing to put aside a couple hundred and wait til the morning of the show to buy, sometimes you’ll get a good deal from a desperate scalper trying to break even? good luck anon 🫡

I mean biopics tend to be successful at the box office in general but FA has the added benefit of having one of the best producers in Amy pascal, the marketing that sony can provide (sony can spend tons of money on marketing), and Tom Holland like people underestimate how much reagualr moviegoers know him especially with spiderman he can bring people to theatres. Will FA be a billion dollars definitely not but can get $ 300 to 400 million at box office probably I think thats what sonys banking on.
I agree Anon! 😊
I think people sometimes underestimate how much people usually enjoy biopics. Even if you weren't a fan of the person who's biopic is being shown onscreen, it's just interesting (to MOST people) to know what was going on in someone's life during that time period...or to know more about the individual. A lot of stuff is tweaked or fabricated for "Hollywood dramatic effect" (true), but people can easily pick up a book if they want to know more of the REAL deal.
Biopics are just supposed to be fun, enjoyable, and introduce some to people in history, or to allow people to have some nostalgia (if they were alive during the time period the biopic film is about).
I feel it will do well. Tom has great star power and can bring audiences to the crowd, and just about everyone knows who Fred Astaire was. I think the film will do great 😊

hi hi : ) saw you mention 'stardew valley' and was curious to hear about your playing habits / style... i'm always curious about people's chosen farm type. neither a genshin impact nor league of legends player myself (probably for the best...); are there any other video games that you like? hoping that you're well + take care!
good for you anon i’m proud of u for not touching the toxic garbage games despite the peer pressure
i first played stardew after a horrible breakup (which was actually self inflicted emotional damage bc i dumped him) but anyways i clocked like 300 hours in the game at that point and i was glued to the wiki, did the community center year 1 challenge, make my farm a mega million dollar producing starfruit winery, etc. the first run i married sebastian (lol) but i ended up dumping him for krobus who i married every time since. my favorite skill is def farming and i also really like going to the mines and skull cavern
this time i’m trying to force myself to _not_ minmax and just play more randomly and go with the flow. it’s kind of weird. i’m used to having 1 million gold always and this run i’ve been constantly broke, but it’s also good because i have to be more creative with how i do things
i also started fishing more, i used to hate fishing bc my macbook keyboard was IMPOSSIBLE to do it on but with my gaming pc it’s actually manageable to fish now yay
