Hat Trick - Part 2 (The Playoffs)
3.4K / Safest with You AU Retired Mob Enforcer!Din Djarin x fem!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Din eats you out while you watch a playoffs game. That’s it.
Warnings: 18+ content (MDNI please) F!oral, fingering, nearing overstimulation, dirty talk, pet names as usual (pretty bird, baby, sweetheart, etc.), m!masterbation, established relationship. Inadvertent hockey double entendres, possibly.
A/N: Vancouver won last night so I thought I should post this while they’re up 😂 Inspired by @beskarandblasters’s I Want It, I got It and @swiftispunk’s ask(s) from @arainbowsiren - thank y’all and your respective mens for their service 🫡🫡🤗. You can if you want, of course 😊 but no need to read Part 1, as it’s not a direct continuation. Anyways, go Canucks go! 🏒🏒
Tumblr media
If dread is defined as “painful agitation in the presence or anticipation of danger,” then for the entirety of your relationship, Din has never dreaded seeing you.  Not when either of you has had one of those bad day at work where you just need to vent for hours afterwards, or when Jimmy had accidentally used a sweater you left in Din’s office to towel off after a sparring session, or even that time Din took Al to the dog park by himself and didn’t realize the other dog moms were flirting with him until one of them shoved her number into his hand.  Nope, it didn’t matter what nonsense was going on while you were apart, the moment he looks upon his pretty bird’s face, Din’s day automatically takes a turn for the better.
But these past few weeks, Din feels like it’s possible he’s being tested in this regard.  Still not dread… maybe some mild foreboding?  That sounds bad, he thinks.  He’s worried is what he is.
Your hockey team is in the playoffs, and at first you were thrilled.  But your excitement has quickly given way to a much more volatile emotional cocktail of anticipation, nervousness and agitation.  If anything, you’re the one who’s been in a state of dread.
The first round was okay.  Your team won the series 4-1; it was a little nerve-wracking after Game 2, but the team rallied and after some nail-biting overtime games, they prevailed.  At your encouragement, he had hosted the series at his place since neither of you were able to get any tickets for the home games.  You had readily cooked up a storm in the kitchen to work out your pregame nerves, and your friends and the Mandos came over to reaped the culinary benefits of your stress. 
Your friends already knew this about you, of course, but Din is learning that playoffs you is very different from regular season you.  Regular season you loves hockey.  Playoffs you loves winning.
You’re the personification of nail-biting anxiety during every game; eyes glued to the screen, barely eating or drinking except during commercials or intermissions.  Every missed shot on goal results in shouting and arms raised in frustration.  Ever unanswered check on your players, vexation and name calling.  Power plays or offensive drives that can't be capitalized on have you covering your face in defeat.
His pretty bird stresses.
It’s not all bitterness and disappointment, thankfully.  Your face when your team scores lights up entire the room.  Every save your goalie makes has you cheering in elation, high fiving everyone in sight with enthusiasm.  When your team wins, your cute butt won’t stop wiggling with victory dance moves.
But the good cannot come without the bad.  Penalties called against your team trigger a spitting of expletives Din didn’t think were possible from your sweet mouth.  Holes in your defense that the other team exploits have you calling for someone’s head (the coach? The team captain?  Din’s??!)
Every game is a rollercoaster of emotions.
Oh.  And if your team loses… it’s like a dark cloud materializes over your head.  Your mood is already gloomy when the final buzzer sounds, improving only to pouty and restless by the time you start nearing the next game.
Din doesn’t like to see you so stressed (over a game, he might add, if he didn’t seriously fear the repercussions of saying that out loud to you).
Round 2 has been… interesting.  No, that's too forgiving.  It’s been… a nightmare.  You team is down 1-3 in the series and tonight is Game 5.  The make-or-break game that will either eliminate your team from the playoffs, or let them live to fight another game where they can attempt to claw their way to a decider seventh game.  After winning the series opener, the team’s three consecutive losses have left you nearly despondent - your mood getting progressively worse with every loss.  It’s not that you were mean or snappish – you were still kind and helpful, and all sweetness with Din and his friends.  But you smile a lot less and your playfulness is missing; you tell less jokes and your laughter, if any, is shorter and less vibrant than it is normally.  This past week, there’s been an ever present tension in your body that doesn’t seem to melt away no matter how much affection Din shows you, and you’re constantly furrowing your brow at things you read on your phone. 
When you start to make the grocery list for what you need to prepare the spread for Game 5, you call out to Din, “Baby, is Mayfeld going to come over for the game?  If he is, I’ll have to get parsley for the garlic knots.”
“Oh… pretty bird, I think most of the guys are going to go to a sports bar for Game 5,” Din says with a bit a trepidation.  He doesn’t say that he was the one who had made the suggestion that they do so, thinking it was unnecessary pressure for you to host a viewing party.  When Woves and Mayfeld had complained, Din reminded them about how they had both spilled beer all over the carpet during a goal celebration during the last game.  He had found you at 2 a.m. taking out your frustration over the loss with a brush, scrubbing the carpet vigorously on your hands and knees until he had managed to coax you back to bed for what was ultimately a night of restless tossing and turning.
“Did you want to go too?” you ask, wide-eyed.
“Nah, let’s just relax and watch here, baby,” Din’s smile is easy going, “I’ll order in, okay?  No need to make food.  It can just be a relaxing time.”  He hopes he isn’t emphasizing the word relax too much.
You look at him for a beat and nod, before going back to the grocery list.  Din exhales a little breath of relief. 
Tumblr media
Game 5 is not going well.
Your team is leading in shots on goal, but just can’t seem convert shots to goals.  Din thinks it’s almost worse watching your body tense up in excitement, just to deflate in disappointment, over and over.  The opposing team doesn’t seem to have the same problem – scoring two goals in quick succession during the first ten minutes of the game that have you flopping back onto the coach, heels of your palms pressed to your eyes as you groan in pain. 
At the first intermission, your team is trailing 0-3 and Din hides (?) in the kitchen while you call Rory and Katie, and the three of you bemoan and rant about the last period over speakerphone.  You pace the same route throughout the apartment so many times, Din wouldn’t be surprised if you actually wore a path. 
He reemerges from the kitchen just as the second period is about to start and sees that you’re already perched on the edge of the couch, elbows on your knees, hands holding your own face as you stare at the television intently.
The puck drops just as Din places a plate of food on the coffee table in front of you, and you look at him with a calm expression and soft, sweet smile that he doesn’t think he’s seen for weeks, “Thank you, bab- WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?”
And like that, it’s gone – replaced by an expression of disbelief as you point agitatedly at the screen.  Din turns to see your team captain skating towards the penalty box, and looks back to see you shaking with fury and muttering, “Hooking my ass...  Barely tapped him…”
“That’s it,” says Din firmly.
“Hmm?” you’re not even looking at him, too busy throwing dagger eyes at the ref on screen who’s announcing the penalty details, getting ready to boo when he’s done.
“Stand up please, pretty bird,” commands Din, not really asking as he slips his paw like hands under your arms and hauls you up gently before you even process his request.  Your eyes narrow as you register something happening, but your attention is still on the game.
It’s not until Din yanks down your leggings and kneels to start pulling your feet through the legs that you snap your head down, “Din!! What are you doing?”
Left in just your pink lace trimmed panties and your “I just hope both teams have fun” sweatshirt, you look at Din with a confused expression. He rises and towers over you purposefully, crowding you back against the couch so that you’re forced to sit down with a bounce when it hits the back of your legs.
“I don’t like seeing you so stressed, sweetheart.  So, I’m going to help you relax, and you’re going to remember that this game is supposed to be fun.”
You screw up your face, unimpressed, “I know it’s supposed to be fun!  I’m having tons of fun.  Look at me, I’m- OH!!”
Din’s had enough.  It wasn’t supposed to be a negotiation anyways.  With one hand, he presses against your chest, forcing you to lean back into the couch, and with the other he spreads open your legs and lowers himself to press a firm kiss right on your clit.
“Din!!”
“Relax, baby,” he mouths against the fabric of your underwear, dipping his head and nuzzling your bud with his strong nose.  He spread your legs wider and holds them open as he starts his slow torture.
The other team’s powerplay starts and you try to keep your eyes on the game.  Normally you would be yelling at the screen for your team to clear it, but right now all you can think about is how Din’s slowly tracing over your folds with the tips of his nose and tongue.
As the powerplay clock starts to wind down, your favourite right winger intercepts a pass and tears down the ice on a breakaway.  Chased by his own teammates and the opposing team, he sets up, shoots and scores!!  Usually a short-handed goal would have you jumping up and down, cheering, but Din’s holding you down and at the exact same moment he gives your mound an open mouth kiss, tonguing your clit with a deliberate flick that has you grabbing onto his hair instead, “Yesssssssss!”
Din pays the goal no mind nor anything else that’s happening in the game, he just continues mapping and teasing your cunt through your underwear with his mouth, tongue and nose until the fabric is soaked through.
You go back to watching the game, half listening to the commentators and half following the players on the ice, all the while whimpering and softly moaning as Din works you up until you’re leaking down your ass, about to make a mess of the couch beneath.  Slowly, slowly, as Din continues to massage and prod at your dripping hole, you start to melt, stress and tension lifting from your body, replaced with a warm, buzzing pleasure emanating from your core.
The period’s half over, and you haven’t yelled at the screen once. 
“Feels so good, daddy,” you whine, when Din’s tongue presses your panties into your seam, forcing the fabric pulled tight and wet to stay tucked between your folds, finally revealing part of your pretty cunt to his gleaming eye.
“Fuck.  Pussy’s so pretty, baby.  So wet for me,” Din growls, and the vibration of his tenor works it way in, riding that same buzzing wave that’s coursing through your body, straight to your throat where it escapes as a tight wail.
“Oh Daddy!”
“Keep watching the game, pretty bird.  And remember… relax,” Din’s last word muffled as he dives face first into your pussy, open mouth kissing your slit - licking every crest and wave he has access to with a low, burning sensuality that’s driving you insane. 
“More, please – Din, I need more.  Ngggh!”
About to pull the damp gusset of your panties to the side and really starting devouring you, Din pauses with a wicked idea.  He pinches the fabric between his fingers and gives it a little tug so that the hem of your panties glides over your clit – the unexpected friction has you yelping in surprise, “Oh, fuck!”
Chuckling, Din tugs the fabric over your swollen bud a few more times and drinks in your heady moans before finally pulling it all the way aside to display your glistening cunt.
“Eyes on the game, baby.”  You look down to see Din’s face buried between your legs, but his eyes are locked onto yours, dark and blown – you nod and flick you eyes back to the screen.  Three more minutes left in the second period.
“Good girl,” Din rumbles against your slick coated seam; he licks a hot stripe from your tight hole all the way up to your throbbing clit, then back down, pushing and swirling his tongue through your arousal.  He hums as he repeats this pattern over and over as you start to pant above him.
“Close baby?”  You look away from the face-off on screen to nod at Din, he’s been eating you out for nearly the entire period of play, building you up from nothing and now you can feel yourself approaching the edge of euphoria, ready to teeter over.
“Daddy will take care of you, pretty girl.  Just relax and watch the game, kay?”
When he sees your hazy eyes flick back up to the tv, he presses in deep, opening his mouth to consume as much of your pussy as he can, tongue dancing through your folds before it burrows into your clenching hole.  His nose nudges your slippery clit as he tongue fucks you with vigor.
Above him, you’re faintly cheering on your team.
“Oh yes!  Press them!  Press them hard!”
“Nice pass!  Fuck, such a good pass!”
“Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it – yessssss!”
You come just as the team’s star rookie scores a top shelf goal, crying out So good, so good, so good as your orgasm washes over you in never-ending waves.  Apparently, you had a lot of pent up stress you needed to release.
Closing your eyes, you rest your head against the back of the couch and listen to the announcements celebrating the goal, coming down from your high as Din continues to press butterfly kisses to your pussy.  Only when you hear the buzzer signalling the end of the period do you open your eyes and smile down at Din, “Thank you, daddy.”
Making a movement to get up so you can dispense a little love of your own to Din, you’re bewildered when Din holds you down with a forearm across your stomach and shakes his head, mouth still latched to your heat. 
“Din.”
Shake, shake.
The movement of Din’s head restarts a warmth in your belly.  Your laugh is featherlight, “Din, I have to get up!  At least let me get up to buy the 50-50 tickets.”
Without releasing you, Din feels behind him blindly with his free hand until he finds your phone on the coffee table and places it in your waiting hands; he then reaches into his back pocket and takes out his wallet which he also hands over before mumbling against your slit, “Buy your tickets, baby.”
“Din, you don’t have to!  I have my ow- ah!”
Having given your clit a playful snip, Din soothes it with a soft kiss, “It’s for charity, sweetheart.”
Dreamily, you sigh in agreement, “For charity.”
Din licks you lazily through the second intermission, cleaning up your spend and using his tongue to spread the fresh slick trickling from your cunt up to and around your swollen clit.  He rests his head against your thigh and chuckles as he watches you take over ten minutes to purchase your charity raffle tickets; you used to only be able to buy 50-50 tickets if you were in attendance at the game, but the team’s charitable foundation had recently started selling them online during the game as well – and it’s taking all your concentration to navigate the site without being distracted by Din’s slow teasing.
You have to enter Din’s credit card number five times before you get it right and you think you accidentally buy twice the number of tickets you mean to.
By the time the third period starts, you’ve lost your underwear; eyes glossing over while you resume watching the game, you’re spread bare for Din as he adds his fingers to his efforts, all in the name of ‘relaxation’.  When your team can’t capitalize on their first power play of the period, he inserts one curling finger, and you concede that the missed goal opportunity isn’t the end of the world.  When your goalie has to make four heart-stopping saves in a row as the other team piles on, Din adds a second, and you passively sing encouraging praise at the TV while dissolving into the couch.  When your coach deploys his special teams, your heart rate speeds up, but not because your offensive line is absolutely dominating in the attacking zone, but because Din squeezes in a third finger, stretching your fitted walls to their limit.
“So fucking tight for me,” Din hisses, looking absolutely hypnotized as he watches his thick fingers disappear into your cunt.  The vulgar wet slaps and squelches your pussy is making nearly drowning out the commentary from the game; you moan and writhe against Din’s hand, begging him for more, “Daddy, so fucking good!  Love your fingers, please… need your mouth, dadddyyyyyyy….”
The onslaught on the ice and against your pussy continue without reprieve; Din nibbles your puffy clit between his teeth before pulling it in between his lips and sucking.  He builds and builds as the team presses and presses, no relief for your poor aching pussy or the opposing team’s goalie.  You think you might float away if Din wasn’t still holding you down, your body tingling right through to the finger tips that you have buried in Din’s hair – you pull him closer, grinding against his mouth seeking, more, more, more. 
“Soak me, pretty girl,” you feel rather than hear, Din’s command echoing deep to that spot inside you only he can reach and the vibration sets you off.  You come, a fresh wave of arousal hits Din’s chin as you chant out his name until you’re hoarse.  Trailing off with a whimper, somewhere through your thick fog of pleasure, you hear the buzzer of the second goal your favourite right winger scores tonight.
The game’s all tied up and you’re spent.
Glassy eyed and fully blissed out, you beckon Din to come kiss you with a weak smile and curl of the fingers on the hand you’ve released from his hair. 
Din’s taking out his cock from his sweatpants and lubing it up with your cum, but he doesn’t rise, “Give me one more, pretty bird.  Let’s make it a hat trick.”
You whine in protest, “Can’t, Din.  It’s too much.”
He fists his hard length and presses the barest of chaste kisses to your still pulsing clit, “Be a good girl for me.  One more, baby.”
There’s nothing, not even winning this game, that you want more than to please him so you give him a brave little nod – even though his feathery touch made you jump.
His thumb brushes gently over your slippery bundle - light pets at first, mindful that you’re nearing overstimulation.  In contrast, his other hand pumps his cock with increasing pressure and speed – already throbbing and painfully hard just from eating you out for the last 40 minutes.  Seeing how turned-on Din is just from pleasuring you has another wave of want coursing through your veins; pushing up your sweatshirt above your braless breasts, you start to play with your tits - pinching and rolling your nipples between your fingers as you throw you head back and moan, low and throaty.
The raunchy sight sends Din into overdrive.  He starts to draw gentle but consistent figure eights over your clit then bends down again to inhale the smell of your honey before pressing a series of sweet tender kisses to your still leaking hole.  All the while, choking his dick and keeping his eyes on you as you touch your perfect tits.  He stays the course with his mouth and thumb, letting you decide how much you can take when you start to buck your hips lightly.
Your third orgasm approaches faster than you anticipate, body already halfway there after that last brain numbing high.  Din reads the tensing of your stomach and your quickening breaths, “Give it to me, baby girl.  Give it to me and I’ll come all over this pretty pussy.”  With Din’s dirty promise ringing in your ear, you come with a shuddering arch of your back and a soundless scream.  Just as you’re completing your hat trick, in an arena across town your right winger is completing his.
But your eyes aren’t for him, they’re for the man who’s now milking his impressive cock, splattering rope after rope of white, glossy cum over the lips of your overwrought cunt.  You giggle as Din runs the tip of his cock through your folds, pushing in as much of his spend as he can before he heaves a heavy, satiated sigh.
Looking at you with a smirk, he chuckles, “How you feeling, pretty bird?  Relaxed?”
You laugh a genuine, musical laugh before pulling his face to yours, kissing yourself on his lips – so euphoric and peaceful from Din’s magical touch.  After a quick cleanup, you rest cozily in Din’s arms, kissing sweetly as the two of you watch your team successfully defend their lead for the final minutes of the game.  Final winning score for your team, 4-3.
Resting your sleepy head on Din’s shoulder, you confess, “I didn’t realize I was being such a stress ball about the playoffs, Din.  I’m sorry.”
Kissing your temple, Din gives you a reassuring squeeze, “No need to apologize, pretty bird.  It’s okay if you get stressed.  Just know I’m always here to help, okay?  I love you.”
You lift your head to nod and mouth the same words back to him, nearly getting lost in the dreamy eyes of the man you can’t quite believe loves you the way he does.  In a little voice you cheer, “We won, yay!”
“Yay!” chuckles Din.
Suddenly, a look of epiphany washes over your face as you pan to the screen where the winning score is displayed in bold font beneath the post game show hosts.  You turn to look at Din, then slowly again to the TV and back.  Sitting up straight, all business-like, you grin, “Seriously, Din - I’m going to need you to do this again.  Every game until we win the cup.”
“Done.”

Good News - July 1-7
Like these weekly compilations? Tip me at $Kaybarr1735! And if you tip me and give me a way to contact you, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week!
1. Footage reveals 'miracle eagle chick' in flight
Tumblr media
“In an unprecedented display of extended eagle parenting, the two white-tailed parents skipped this year's breeding season to continue to tend to their year-old offspring. The youngster's wing was broken when the nest fell to the ground during unseasonably wild weather last year. […] The fully-grown chick was being fed fish by its parents, caring behaviour that the eagle expert described as “unprecedented” for the birds. […] “If an immature bird was to reappear near its nesting parents or any other pair the following year [after dispersing], it would likely be aggressively chased away. That’s why this is so exceptional.””
2. Rare wild horses back on Kazakhstan’s Golden Steppe after being saved from extinction
Tumblr media
“For the first time in at least 200 years, wild Przewalski's horses have returned to Kazakhstan’s Golden Steppe. [...] Przewalski's horses are considered the last truly wild horse left on the planet as other species like the American Mustang are descended from domesticated animals. The species were once common across the vast steppes of Central Asia. [...] The zoo will also be sending some Przewalski’s to Mongolia in 2026 where a reintroduction programme has seen their population boom to well over 850 animals.”
3. For one Austin summer camp, public transit is part of the adventure
Tumblr media
“[... “O]ver 90% of the kids will tell you that their favorite part of ATX Kids Club is riding the bus.” That’s the program’s goal: getting kids to have fun on public transit so they’ll grow up using it. The nonprofit’s summer camp, which takes kids ages 4 to 12 on field trip “adventures” around the city, uses Capital Metro buses as its main form of transportation. [...] Before camp, [the field trip leader] said, he believed in stereotypes about transit being dirty and “scary” — but his experience with Austin’s bus system has been the opposite so far.”
4. Brazil Prevents Meta from Using People to Power Its AI
Tumblr media
“[…P]ersonal photos of Brazilian children are used to build powerful AI tools without their knowledge or consent. In turn, others use these tools to create malicious deepfakes, putting even more children at risk of harm. […] The Brazilian government’s decision is a powerful, proactive move to protect people’s data privacy in the face of swiftly evolving uses and misuses of AI. Yesterday’s action especially helps to protect children from worrying that their personal data, shared with friends and family on Meta’s platforms, might be used to harm them in ways that are impossible to anticipate or guard against.”
5. Ambitious Living Shoreline Project Combats Coastal Land Loss in South Carolina
Tumblr media
“Living shorelines stabilize coastlines by reducing the impacts of waves and rising sea levels. They are made of materials that promote the growth of marsh grasses and commercially important species like oysters and crabs. […C]oastal sites could offset almost 80 percent of tidal habitat loss with careful conservation and management. […] Young people in this AmeriCorps program receive training, a living stipend, an education award, and connections to potential employers.”
6. Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge announces proposal to modernize water infrastructure
Tumblr media
“Under the refuge’s proposal, the Service would improve 4,400 feet of an earthen water delivery ditch, rehabilitate 1,200 feet of Upper Lake Dam, develop 100 feet of new diversion channel into critical nesting habit for federally endangered southwestern willow flycatcher, modernize current water monitoring stations and improve 640 feet of the Pahranagat Ditch Drain. […] The improvements will result in significant habitat improvements for multiple bird species, [… and] also enhance flood control holding capabilities of the Upper Lake for the Pahranagat Valley.”
7. New chemical process separates textile fibers for easier recycling
Tumblr media
“A combined team of chemical and biomolecular engineers [... have] developed a way to chemically separate fibers in textiles, allowing them to be recycled more quickly and cheaply than conventional methods. [... T]hey found they could break apart the textiles in as little as 15 minutes. They also noted that the process [breaks down polyester and spandex into] organic compound[s] that could conceivably be used to create more polyester. [... T]he material integrity of both the nylon and the cotton were retained, suggesting they could be used to make new batches of clothes.”
8. Pongamia trees grow where citrus once flourished, offering renewable energy and plant-based protein
Tumblr media
“[Some Floridian] farmers are turning to the pongamia tree, a climate-resilient tree with the potential to produce plant-based proteins and a sustainable biofuel. […] Pongamia trees also don't need fertilizer or pesticides. They flourish in drought or rainy conditions. And they don't require teams of workers to pick the beans. […] The legume is now being used to produce several products, including Panova table oil, Kona protein bars and protein flour. The legumes also produce oil that can be used as a biofuel, largely for aviation, which leaves a very low carbon footprint[….]”
9. Trans candidate celebrates receiving more votes than anti-trans campaigner Posie Parker
Tumblr media
“An independent trans candidate says that she hopes receiving more total votes than anti-trans campaigner Posie Parker at the general election will show trans children that they are loved. […] Bristol Central was won by Green Party’s out bisexual co-leader Carla Denyer, while Parker received just 196 votes, equal to 0.5 per cent[….] Elsewhere, trans candidate Sophie Molly secured 225 votes standing as an independent at the other end of the country, in Aberdeen South[….]”
10. Ohio zoo celebrates birth of critically endangered western lowland gorilla
Tumblr media
“The Columbus Zoo said the gorilla was born June 29 and first-time mother Sue is "very attentive and providing excellent care to her little one, who she nuzzles and cradles closely." […] “With tiny hands and beautiful big brown eyes that melt our hearts, this baby is absolutely precious—in regard to both the cuteness factor and what the baby represents for this species’ future. We are proud of the dedication of our care teams who diligently work to provide the gorillas with top quality care and wellbeing while continuing the legacy of the Columbus Zoo’s renowned gorilla program,” said Audra Meinelt, curator of the Columbus Zoo’s Congo Expedition region.”

Wow, 138 tons of CO2 emissions simply for a dick appointment.And her fans say that she’s this baby angel billionaire princess. She really flies to wherever he’s playing for a day or two and then fucks off back to New York.
‘If you had a PJ you’d do the same’. The fuck I wouldn’t. One thing if you’re constantly on the go for work purposes and are traveling either with at least 5 people or your family with you on the board and the other is hopping around the country to suck a dick and get photographed or broadcasted at the nfl game. I get that A-list celebs may be unsafe flying commercial especially in the social media era. There have been numerous instances where stalkers have found out the flight info and booked a seat next or near them. Some have licked toilet seats they sat on or done other creepy shit. That could make the experience of a whole flight passengers unpleasant and possibly get the said celeb on the no fly list. But this shit is truly next level, I’d understand if most of the time her jets were in a hangar and she was renting it to other people so the service and maintenance would pay off but 99% she’s the one on those flights. And why on Gods green Earth would you need a second one at that?
This mediocre hunchback Barbie is inescapable and I’m sick of her
With the insane amount of stalkers, kpop idols still fly commercially with proper amount of bodyguards. So TS can at least afford proper measurements for her safety with 1.1 billion dollars in her bank account. Keeping that aside, if she can't fly commercially, she can at least lessen the nonsense back and forth she keeps doing just to get some dick, maybe do facetimes like a normal person or like buy some sex toys if she's that desperate. But no, miss goth punk artist will produce 138 tons carbon emission for a guy that's gonna last for like 5 months before she moves onto the next one. Call me mysogynistic or whatever but that's who she is.

for the matchup event, i’d like a matchup for the honkai star rail and genshin impact guys please!
~~~
i’m an enfp 4w3 and i’m currently a sciences student at school! deep down my passion is in voice acting, but i can’t pursue it for the time being because of my studies piling up xd
still, i have big dreams of landing character roles that people can relate to and potentially singing, voicing commercials or audiobooks!
in a perfect world, my dream future would be to devote the rest of my life to creating art that’s from my heart and that will move others!
i’m in a leadership role at school because i like to be of service to others in the greatest way possible. i didn’t get enough votes to be president, but i was voted to be secretary, so i take note of everyone’s ideas and also our final decisions at meetings!
i prefer to compile people’s ideas and try to make them all come true in some way than to lead people towards a singular cause. in that respect, i don’t always enjoy leading people or competition.
im also super into psychology and typology (mbti, enneagram) and can usually tell who’s what personality type after getting to know them a little~
while i’m ambiverted, i’m definitely a little more extroverted than introverted (the latter probably stems from fluctuating confidence). but anyways, i have a couple friends — and i get along best with the people who are intuitive types (mbti with the N).
i’m pretty distracted at times. i don’t always remember or hear things people say, which i’m hoping to improve on. in general, i like finding improvements to myself!
as for looove,, i’m pretty dreamy and romantic, but i’m not actively searching for love just yet. there’s so many things i wanna do with my life before truly settling down, but i won’t refuse getting to know “the one” if i meet them along the way.
my type is someone introverted/ambiverted. i’d really like a partner who has a different side to them when we’re alone~ — like shy guys in public who are dominant in private (*blushes*), or charismatic guys in public who need cuddles and a safe space in private. (i don’t mind it if they don’t fit this criteria! i’ll do all i can to give my partner a safe space regardless ^^)
i hope this wasn’t too long and that it all helps! have a lovely day! 🥰
HAII SWEETHEARTTTT oh my god now that I put it that way i seriously can't comprehend how big it is, and actually were on 352 by now like isn't that insane?? It's genuinely so crazy to me how plp actually enjoy my content like-....
Little a/n - also I'm so impressed by your like life and how put together you are like idk it just so cool to hear about your life and shi, keep doing you babe I'm your biggest supporter and hope to see you as a voice actor one day (。˃ ᵕ ˂ *) ウン
Anyyyways... Time for your matchup woooo~👻
Your matchups are....
.
.
.
XIAO
Maybe not exactly the thing you're looking for, but surely worth a shot?
Partner that takes charge x partner that follows the other around like a puppy
Xiao isn't fond of making decisions, so he'll leave it up to you, but he will help in making the decision become reality if needed
He's also very passively supporting you. He understands that you wish to focus on your career and live life before settling down, and he's never gonna hold you down from it, he's gonna get out of your way in case you want to go out with friends or like clubs or traveling, though do reassure him sometimes otherwise he'll be very distant
Also generally it will take him a while to warm up to your but after that he'll follow you around and always be near you.
He considers you very intelligent and reliable, which makes him like you a lot more in a way, he enjoys the secure feeling you give off
Think of it as having a black cat pet, it always lingers around you but doesn't interact much, yet it still loves you. And in those rare moments it comes to cuddle with you it's like a blessing by the archons themselves
GEPARD
I don't know I just feel like after that deep matchup W xiao, that you deserve someone to actually love you properly
Busy busy man gepard who still finds time to spend with his sweetheart
He's the type of person who's forced to lead in a lot of situations, around you he enjoys letting you take over and he can just sit back and help you out without the hard decision making
He's very sweet but very professional in real life as we know because of status
But inside he's a big big softie
Random but I like to imagine he would write you little letters, sometimes just to tell you to stay safe and stuff but sometimes actual love letters where he expresses how much he loves you
But don't be fooled, at times he can also take the charge in things, so it's like getting the best of both worlds
He understands what it's like to want to focus on yourself and your future, so he's gonna step back if you need him to, he can wait months, years, however long you need to let him love you╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Shen Yuan and the ancient hairdresser
Ok, so fun fact about Ancient China: there were professional commercial hairdressers.
No, not for cutting hair. They washed and combed hair.
In the Song dynasty commercial hairdressers began to appear in significant numbers. Known as “tweezers workers (镊工)” or “comb workers (栉工),” these craftsmen could earn a decent living. Writer Zhang Duanyi (张端义) recorded in his Gui’er Ji (《贵耳集》), a book collecting anecdotes of the Song dynasty, that the infamously corrupt chancellor Qin Hui (秦桧) once paid 5,000 wen for a haircut, enough to buy about 120 kilograms of rice at that time.
So... who has access to that kind of ungodly amount of money for such luxuries and would spend that kind of money? Shen Qingqiu.
Not Shen Jiu, mind you. He is more than aware of the value of each coin and copper. He'd know where to go find a valuable bargain... if he could even bare to allow someone near his neck like that other than courtesans. He probably had courtesans combing his hair in fact.
Now Shen Yuan on the other hand has no concept of ancient money. Well, even if he did, he would lack the common sense coming from a rich background.
(Shen Yuan: What could a banana cost? 10 bucks? Pft, that's cheap. Shang Qinghua: Bro...)
And even if he knew how much it cost... a freshly transmigrated Shen Yuan would consist it a worthy investment because he doesn't want to do it, he has to stay in character and Shen Qingqiu was known for his Pristine Appearance. It's not like the original goods had any servants on hand and Shen Yuan couldn't very well have a disciple do it! Plus the original goods had plenty of money laying around (and plenty more letters of rich nobles offering sky high prices for calligraphy and painting commissions that Shen Yuan didn't have to even complete - he just had to find something from Shen Jiu's piles of practice sheets from years prior to ship out.)
So Shen Yuan heads into town (following the helpful google map instructions of the system) to find a hairdressing artist to do his hair. And he gets into the habit of going down every week for a lovely comb and washing. It's great! The guy is good looking and a great conversationalist. A+++ service!
(Historical note: In Lin’an, the capital of the Southern Song dynasty (1127 – 1279), the hairdressers even formed an industrial association, called the “hair-dressing community (净发社).” The members of the association, known as “hairdressing artists (净发艺人),” established an industry guidebook, which was titled “Instructions on Hairdressing (《净发须知》).” The guidebook listed 10 requirements for hairdressers, not only calling for them to have excellent professional skills, but also to be good-looking, intelligent, eloquent, and easygoing, so that they could provide good service.)
Hence, even after Luo Binghe moves into the bamboo cottage and offers to help comb his shizun's hair, Shen Yuan still goes down every week to visit his go-to hairdresser, unaware of the fuming jealous little sheep he leaves behind each time. He's also totally unaware of the fact that the rest of the sect thinks he's sneaking off to the brothels with each trip too (since that's where the original goods got his hair washed and combed at.)

Day 4 - That’s history!!!
Hello all! I apologize for such a late update. I had my usual morning post all done and ready to go and then no service when I went to post.
The chilly temperature this morning in Custer woke me up early so I decided to take Lily for a walk around the lake as the sun came up. Lily enjoyed all the strange smells and I think she was trying her best to hunt down that bison who was in camp the night before. (Side note, when we pulled out this morning the behemoth beast was standing right at the edge of the road. I guess he likes camping!) taking that lake walk this morning was contagious. Everyone went walking by the lake in their own time, but Todd was the only one lucky enough to see any horned wildlife. Well, I guess Mom saw some too since she went with Dad. 😊
After walking and organizing, we headed towards Mountain Rushmore. A dear friend of mine, Joanie, told me once “It is like nothing you have ever seen. Indescribable.” She was not wrong!
As Todd maneuvered the camper van through the S curves and beautiful mountains, there it was. The feeling brought me back to that same excitement when I was a kid screaming, “I see the Eiffel Tower!!!” as we neared King’s Island. But this…WOW! To see one and only completed, hand carved, rock sculpture of the faces of four of the most influential presidents U.S. history is truly unbelievable. Seeing it in books and pictures just doesn’t do it justice. Even Lily stopped to look!!! I asked Mom if she ever thought she would see it in person…her response was nothing short of what anyone reading this would expect, “No, I did not.” I am so thankful that she was able to see what some might call the 8th Wonder of the World. (I don’t know if anyone actually calls it that except the guy I heard say it while we were there, but it sounded feasible to me!)
After our visit to Mount Rushmore, we made our way to Deadwood, SD, where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are laid to rest. After watching, the HBO series of the same name a few years back, I couldn’t wait to visit the famous western gold mining town. I have to say, I was highly disappointed in the town as it was not the original or even the close reproduction that I had expected, but much more commercialized with casinos and souvenir shops being nearly every establishment on Main Street. We didn’t let that ruin our fun! Todd’s hopes were deflated when he discovered the brothel had been shut down by the FBI over 40 years ago. Just kidding….he had no idea…didn’t even know the sign was there when I took his picture!! 😂
While Calamity Jane always raised a ruckus, I knew Dad would give her a run for her money. A local bartender recommended the Oyster Bay restaurant for the best pizza in town, so off we went. Like everywhere else, they had slot machines. What we learned is that not only Dad, but Mom, had missed their calling….millwright and customer service worker, pfft! They should have moved west and became gamblers! We gave them each $2 and Todd showed them how the penny slot worked. Mom won $9.64 and Dad won $7.35! They nearly won enough to pay for their lunch AND were smart enough to cash out and be done!
After making a brief stop at the Bar where Wild Bill Hickok was shot while holding a hand of Aces and Eights, we decided to head out of town after making one last stop at Mt. Moriah cemetery where Bill, Jane and the town’s first sheriff, Seth Bullock, were buried. I mean, we were there, right? Why not?
On the road again, Wyoming brings a different kind of terrain….many meadows of antelope, but coolest of all was seeing Devil’s Tower in the distance as we made our way to our campground in Moorcroft. I guess I have been doing this way too long both Mom and Todd just asked if I had posted. Until tomorrow family and friends! ❤️

This guide will walk you through the essential steps to finding the best "Commercial Real Estate for Rent Near Me," ensuring you make an informed decision. Commercial Real Estate for Rent Near Me
1. Identify Your Business Needs
Tumblr media
Before you begin your search, it's crucial to clearly define what you need from your commercial space. Consider the following factors:
Size and Layout: How much square footage do you need? What layout will best suit your operations?
Location: Which areas are most convenient for your customers, employees, and suppliers?
Budget: What is your price range, including rent, utilities, and other expenses?
Amenities: Are there specific features or services that your business requires, such as parking, security, or high-speed internet?
2. Research the Local Market
Tumblr media
Understanding the local commercial real estate market is essential for finding the best options. Use the following strategies:
Online Listings: Start by searching online for "Commercial Real Estate for Rent Near Me." Websites like LoopNet, Zillow, and local real estate agencies often have comprehensive listings.
Commercial Real Estate Brokers: Consider hiring a broker who specializes in commercial properties in your area. They can provide valuable insights and help you find properties that meet your criteria.
Market Trends: Stay informed about local market trends, including average rental rates, vacancy rates, and new developments. This knowledge can help you negotiate better terms.
3. Visit Potential Spaces
Tumblr media
Once you've shortlisted a few properties, schedule visits to assess them in person. During your visit:
Evaluate the Location: Is it easily accessible? Is there enough foot traffic if needed? How is the neighborhood?
Inspect the Property: Look for any signs of wear and tear, and assess the overall condition of the building.
Check Compliance: Ensure that the space complies with local zoning laws and building codes. You may need to verify if the property is suitable for your specific type of business.
Consider Future Growth: Choose a space that can accommodate your business as it grows. Flexibility in the lease terms can be beneficial.
4. Negotiate the Lease
After finding the ideal space, the next step is to negotiate the lease terms. Here’s what to consider:
Lease Length: Determine the ideal duration of the lease. Longer leases may offer stability, while shorter leases provide flexibility.
Rent Increases: Understand how rent will increase over time and whether there are caps on these increases.
Maintenance Responsibilities: Clarify who is responsible for repairs and maintenance—landlord or tenant.
Exit Clauses: Ensure there are clear terms regarding breaking the lease if necessary.
5. Finalizing the Deal
Tumblr media
Before signing the lease, take the following precautions:
Legal Review: Have a legal professional review the lease to ensure it protects your interests.
Get Everything in Writing: Any verbal agreements or promises made during negotiations should be documented in the lease.
Insurance: Arrange for the necessary insurance coverage for your new business space.
6. Prepare for Move-In
Once the lease is signed, start preparing for the move. Consider the following:
Renovations: If the space needs modifications to fit your business, coordinate these before moving in.
Utilities and Services: Set up utilities, internet, and any other essential services in advance.
Furnishing and Equipment: Plan the layout and order any furniture or equipment needed for your operations.
Conclusion
Finding the best "Commercial Real Estate for Rent Near Me" requires time, research, and careful consideration of your business needs. By following these steps, you can secure a space that not only meets your current requirements but also supports your long-term business goals. Remember, the right location and setup can make a significant difference in your business’s success, so take the time to find the perfect fit.

Why do u think the Rods chose to live in Ohio? Because of the Amish, because of home schooling rules? To be closer to family? Where did they move from? When did Jill leave New York? Was it when she got married
me trying to recover from this rapid line of questioning like
Tumblr media
For me, the most likely reason for their move to Ohio (from West Virginia, to answer your question) is homeschooling laws. Some states don't allow you to homeschool your kids if you've had a certain amount of interaction with Child Protective Services, and snarkers had called CPS on the Rods enough to get them to visit their house. It's possible that one more visit would have made it impossible for Jill to 'homeschool'.
The Rods explanation is that they just needed more space for their printing ministry but to me that doesn't make any sense, since almost all of Jill's family (her mom and dad, sister Amy, and Amy's entire family) had just moved down to West Virginia to be closer to them. It seems to me it was likely under duress.
Jill, David, and their families are from New York state and they lived there for a few years after getting married I believe. After awhile David quit his commercial printing job and they decided to do 'ministry' full-time, so they traveled around in the RV for around 2 years I think, and then somehow were eventually able to buy a house in West Virginia while still doing part-time RVing (there's a rumor the house was gifted to them but there's no proof that I've seen).
*Also mandatory side note that I always add re this topic: do not under any circumstances ever call CPS on fundies you follow on social media!!! In most places it's near fucking impossible to get CPS to act even with evidence of neglect, so making reports with no concrete evidence on people you've never met just encourages CPS to ignore future calls that might actually be legitimate.
It's really sad that if the Rodrigues kids or the Collins kids etc actually *do* need CPS in the future it will be that much harder for them to get assistance because snarkers have abused the system so much. I've known of cases where the kids themselves call CPS and there's still no action taken, so please for the love of god don't do that shit!!!!!*

On the mass murder of golden geese
Georgetown is not far from where I live. Now, if you’re familiar with the DC area this has been a trendy commercial area since DC was chartered - before, in fact, though it wasn’t called Georgetown back then.
Today, it’s considered “older” and less trendy but still gets an enormous amount of foot traffic in spite of not being directly serviced by the metro.
One place there which I particularly love is Ching Ching Cha, DC’s only really good Chinese teahouse.
Except... they closed at the end of last month. Not because they weren’t getting enough business: I’d not describe them as having lines out the door, but they always had customers and they were a local mainstay. But apparently the building they were in changed ownership; the owner of Ching Ching Cha met with the new owners and they could not work out an agreement. She will be moving to a smaller space near Dupont Circle.
I will be going to Dupont Circle more often.
See, Georgetown now is a revolving menu of overpriced clothing stores and cookie cutter 3rd-wave coffee shops. Everything interesting is getting priced out of the area.
I’ve seen this happen with trendy commercial districts before: you have a walkable area (yes, walkable areas in US metropolitan regions are a limited resource) which gets a couple of cool shops which brings in people, and over time more interesting shops and restaurants open. These bring in more foot traffic and everyone prospers.
Then the Fire Nation Attacked. I mean, the real estate investors. They buy up the now-valuable properties, jack up the rents, and for a while businesses endure. But the first ones to go are those unique, small businesses which don’t have deep corporate pockets to swallow excessive rents. Which means before long the tea shop which brought in foot traffic is gone, but the Subway which moved in down the block is still there. And who’s gonna walk from Rosslyn to go to a Subway?
I wish that in the USA we had a model where property owners could just maintain these areas. Because the alternative is simply neglect - they don’t take care of the area at all, everything becomes decrepit, and no one wants to go to a place fading signs, broken crosswalks, and boarded over pad sites.
There’s demand, why are the only options “squeeze every bit of money out until it dies” or “Meh, let it die anyway I don’t care”.?

Chapter 2 - Beyond the Veil
Did I mean to post this way sooner? Yes. Did I? No, but I enjoyed my vacation.
Warning: I do not plan on editing things until I finish this story so there may be minor errors and such but I will try to make sure there are no plot holes at least.
p.s. I loathe dialogue but there is a lot here.
-----------
I was given my own quarters in an expensive neighborhood courtesy of the Gojo matriarch, I doubt she wants me anywhere near her compound where I could sully her family name. It’s a beautiful apartment in the outskirts of Tokyo, near Jujutsu Prefectural High School where I am meant to go talk to the principal tomorrow.
             My stomach clenches at the thought. I was told by the higher ups to act clueless, as if my knowledge of cursed energy was rudimentary at best. As if I only knew bits and pieces of cursed energy and my own abilities. I don’t know whether they think I can trick Satoru or whether they want to keep it hidden that the world of Jujutsu extends far beyond Japan. I don’t think I care either way. At the end of the day I am just some sacrificial pawn on the chess board until I can make myself valuable enough to become the queen. 
            I shake my head, clearing away the migraine inducing thoughts. I need to distract myself.
            Hours later I find myself still wandering the streets of the Tokyo commercial district absent mindedly. Bags hang on my arms and the wonder of the place has worn off. It’s overcrowded during this time of day. 
            The hairs on the back of my neck rise, I feel the intense desire to face whatever predator is staring at me but I resist barely faltering. It feels as if a tiger’s eyes are pinned on me, following my procession through the streets. I can’t pinpoint a direction without letting them know I am aware they are here. 
            I wander seemingly aimlessly and find a seat at a small café overlooking the street. I’ve barely settled in the seat when from one blink to the next a presence appears: a tall, foreboding man with jet black hair.
            “Ah, so this is Satoru’s fiancée!” he says with the controlled expression.
            I don’t reply to him as a waitress comes by and asks for our order, I order one of their pastries and a fruity drink while he orders a floral tea.
            When the waitress leaves I turn to him, “And you are?”
            He feigns hurt, “I can’t believe Satoru hasn’t spoken about his best friend.”
            “Don’t be, he hasn’t spoken to his fiancée either.”
            He grins, “So that’s how it is.”
            I eye him warily, “He didn’t tell his best friend.”
            “You could say we had a falling out, but you also knew that already.” He smile widens and his eyes close, almost mockingly.
            My gaze lifts to his, “Then answer me this, what could one of Japan’s most wanted sorcerers want with me here?”
            His shoulders lift in a nonchalant move, “I could always be here to kill you, now wouldn’t that be something.
            “I doubt that’s why you’re here Geto.”
            Our gazes meet, “You could say I’m here to offer my services.”
            “I don’t want anything from you.”
            A single dark brow arches, “Are you sure? Not even for your darling little brother? I heard he is doing great in America, already has new friends and everything.”
            The waitress interrupts us with a cheery smile, depositing our orders in front of us. He thanks her with a smile and she blushes as she leaves our table.
            My nails are digging into the skin of my palms, begging to draw blood - preferably his blood. “What would you know about it?”
            “Oh my,” he says, “You really want to know don’t you, Y/N?”
            I scoff, he can’t be telling the truth, no one was supposed to know about my brother. But it’s pointless to think it’s impossible. Somehow the higher ups found out and Aimi knew too.
            My gaze on him intensifies, “If you even think of harming him I’ll kill your precious Nanako and Mimiko and make you watch.”
            He smirks, “Not playing clueless and weak now, are you?” He takes a long sip of his tea, “I’m not completely sure about your abilities but I saw what you did to those cursed spirits in Brazil.”
            “You better not have touched them,” I can feel rage bubbling under my skin, begging to be released.
            He waves a dismissive hand, “I don’t exorcise cursed spirits completely now, yours wouldn’t give in to my will.”
            I think of the countless tries it took to create them, cursed spirits that only existed for the sole purpose of protecting the village and the forest. How long it had taken until my Frankenstein monster was able to draw cursed energy from the earth sustainably instead of humans. 
            “Then tell me what you want,” I grit out.
            He produces a neat slip of paper with a phone number, “I just wanted to offer my help. Give me a call if you want to get away from Satoru.”
            I look at it for a moment, then allow cursed energy to flow into blue flames engulfing the strip. The smug bastard knows I already memorized it.
            A second later he stands, giving me a small wave before disappearing into the crowd. His presence is completely gone and his teacup drained. 
            The damned man left me with the bill.

How to install a inverter battery?
Tumblr media
Inverter batteries have a small amount of current consistent for a long time period. Lithium batteries are the best batteries for inverters. These are low-maintenance and the self-discharge is also less. Installing lithium batteries is the source to store electricity for later use. These batteries are mostly used for commercial, residential, and industrial areas. Installing a lithium inverter battery is a task that requires careful planning and execution to guarantee safety and optimal performance. Here are the general moves toward installing a lithium inverter battery.
What is Inverter Battery?
A lithium inverter battery, referred to as a lithium-ion battery for inverters, is a kind of rechargeable battery that is specifically designed for use in conjunction with inverters. Inverters are gadgets that convert Direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used in household appliances and electronics use. These inverters are normally utilized in off-grid solar power systems, backup power systems, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Lithium-ion batteries offer long life, quick battery charging, maintenance-free operation, and consistent backup.

The interior designer and social commentator Nicky Haslam has just released the latest annual version of his fabled tea towel, on which he lists some more of the things that he “finds common”. (This year’s entries include Bond Street, coriander, divorce, porn, Stanley Johnson, hydrangeas, foundations and side plates.) Far be it from any of us to suggest culprits for the next one, but I do think “being angry with Meghan and Harry” should be a contender. Let’s be honest: there really isn’t much more desperately naff than allowing oneself to be conversationally infuriated by the commercial behaviour/comings-and-goings/mere existence of “the Sussexes”. It is hugely infra dig.
And yet the couple continue to drive swathes of people quite mad. For a huge throng of the vicariously enraged, this week’s release of the cover of Harry’s forthcoming memoir has once again proved a ticket to near-apoplexy. The book is to be called Spare – a hilarious and brilliant title, despite kneejerk criticism of it from people whose own books are called perfectly gopping things like “Diana’s Babies: Kate, William and the repair of a broken family”. Given Spare isn’t out till January, we’ve no idea yet of the quality of its content, though I note Harry has benefited from Andre Agassi’s ghostwriter. So we could be in for more unforgettable and award-winning sections on hair loss in the public eye.
We hardly need to recap the backstory with the duke and duchess, but for the sake of form let’s go once more round the houses/palaces /mock-Mediterranean Montecito mansions: Harry and his wife were made so clearly and understandably miserable by royal life that they resigned from it, and have since become a pair of frequently unbearable Californian wellness bores wafting round the same ghastly smalltown farmers’ market as Gwyneth Paltrow. Hey – it’s a living. I’m sure we’d all cross the street to avoid having a pint of improving green juice with any of them. But ultimately, so what? If the Sussexes wish to continue living their life as a lucrative soap opera – and you surely wouldn’t be publishing yet another version of “your truth” in book form if you didn’t – then it isn’t really the worst thing in the world, except arguably for certain members of their families who their haters don’t know socially.
Quite why Harry can’t simply be shunted into the “annoying, but amusing” category that Gwyneth herself has long occupied is unclear, even if he hasn’t yet suggested past lives therapy or popping the Koh-i-noor diamond up your fanny. Instead, the Sussexes draw more online and offline ire than homicidal and genocidal dictators. This feels somehow … uncool, on the part of the irate.
Perhaps, like me, you can’t quite work out in whose service the extreme anger at Harry’s every move is now unleashed. It supposedly used to be on unbidden behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, but now she is “sadly passed” (a phrase which also features on the Haslam drying-up cloth this year), it’s hard to decide for whom all this category-5 curtain-twitching fury is occurring. Is it for King Charles, who graspingly accepted literal suitcases of charity cash from a former Qatari prime minister, with one such holdall containing more than a million euros? The new sovereign also gratefully received – against all advice – a £1m payment from a member of the Bin Laden family. Yes, perhaps it is on Charles’s behalf that people are against anything that feels like an absolute pisstake by someone who is already beyond super-rich.
Either way, one does start to drift off a bit when people suggest the Sussexes are not very talented and should not have this path to vast unearned wealth. Perhaps not. But life isn’t fair. Most importantly, can royalists ever really get into the deserved-riches argument? The British royal family’s stupidity has been internationally reputed since at least George I. In an actual meritocracy they’d probably be unemployable, or podcasters. Instead they cut ribbons several days a week and lead an obviously straitjacketed existence of public duty, in return for living like kings. Sorry – living as kings. I can’t help feeling that those who are more angry than anything at Harry and Meghan’s pathway to vast unearned wealth are so close to understanding why they’re really angry – and yet, still so far away.
