Oh you weren’t online so you didn’t see that she posted the “I will die on this hill” (marriage/ceremony), then 20 minutes later posted speculation that YLM = Taylor had a miscarriage and it led to them breaking up for a while, 51 minutes after the first post is when Tree tweeted with a screenshot. Then about an hour later Melissa (deuxmoi) posted an “apology” throwing Ana’s death in Taylor’s face by saying “also, to reference something that happened years ago to “pain & trauma” after what just happened seems like a poor choice of words”, then she deleted the miscarriage speculation (some think she was told to delete), then her apology was removed, then doubled down and posted a “swiftie” asking why Taylor was all of a sudden throwing Joe under the bus especially if she’s so happy and moved on with Travis (hi Calvin?), and she’s been trying to spread these TnT engagement rumors for weeks now claiming he’s planned to propose on her birthday/christmas and so then she started saying a lot of people are realizing they’re trying to change the narrative of Joe to lay the groundwork for the upcoming engagement news, then another questioning why Taylor and Tree would want these marriage/ceremony rumors shit down if they’re not doing anything bad it’s just speculation there’s nothing wrong with it. The cherry on top was after saying she doesn’t get paid for this she posted her subscribers only live reminder (that’s the last I kept up so idk if there’s more)
And that’s what you missed on SWIFTIELAND!
to the tune of glee! of course
JESUS CHRIST???????

“Cool, Humans freak out just like us!”
That’s what Gus is saying in the clip.
So if I had to guess, this might be one of the times where Luz and co are trying to open a portal, clearly inside the Noceda household, and whatever happens with it may frighten Camila?
In other observations,
1. Luz has the bi flag on her beanie, so the remaining “Luz isn’t out to Camila” purists can suck it once more.
2. Luz and Hunter seem to have matching sweatpants. Hunter’s has watermelons for pockets.
3. Hunter’s hair looks really nice animated. I knew they’d make it look good.
4. Gus has some weird ear-coverings that seem to look similar to the phone Hunter’s holding. Maybe some means of communications, or even something to do with a potential portal?
5. Luz also has another pin on her beanie, which almost looks like the Oracle track symbol? It’s interesting.

E/riels can play the hell out of guilty as sin? (it is a fantastic song) but they’ll never ever get this type of scene from Elain & Az 😉🙂↔️
Feysand:
Nessian:
Elucien, before the bond is even accepted:
Also, both mated couples describe their bond as “golden threads” and a song between their souls.
We have THIS from Elucien:
and THIS from Gwynriel:
As much as I rag on feysand & nessian, SJM clearly follows a pattern. I don’t see her straying far from it, especially not after the ACOSF bonus chapter. It’s a good song though 🙏

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.
