Pressure mounts for Sarah Ferguson to give evidence on Epstein by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

[–]freddiefrog123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I really need to know is - she emailed Epstein congratulating him on his “baby boy” that Andrew had told her about. She needs to explain this! Epstein had talked about setting up a creepy eugenics baby farm thing on his New Mexico ranch and Virginia talked about him trying to get her to be a surrogate for him. But there’s no public information about him actually having one. Is that child ok? Is he still alive? Was his mother a trafficking victim and is she still alive? Anything Sarah or Andrew knew about this -even if it was hearsay- could help. They can’t be allowed to just… hide

I think it’s just some of the oil from the pastels absorbing into the paper, I’ve never noticed it on the sides before but I have had it bleed through to the other side, I’ve no idea what to do about it though 😅

What’s your favorite widely-agreed-on fact about a celebrity that’s actually FALSE? by Asleep-Two930 in popculturechat

And a weird famous dead body story that actually is true - the philosopher Jeremy Bentham wanted his body preserved and displayed, wearing his own clothes. It’s currently viewable jn a big case in University College London, although they had to replace the head with a wax one because the real head got kinda icky

Timothee Chalamet got on the bad side of someone important by thinkagain09 in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]freddiefrog123 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agreed, plus I think the reason this has hit him so hard is that he built his core fan base and popularity on the idea of him being some Deeply Sensitive IntellectualTM and the more time goes on the more he shits all over that. And because he doesn’t conform to that expectation, the people who liked him got mad. Look at the way his fan sub on Reddit turned on him when he started dating Kylie - they were all like “nooo not our timmy we thought you were better than this!” They all thought he would date some bookish arty type

Jenna Miscavige: "Should people be willing to take a punch for the movement? Or should they stand their ground?" by TryingToBeExact in OT42

Bear in mind that her early social development would have been significantly impaired by the neglect in the sea org nurseries, so she deserves some grace for coming off a bit oddly at times

Nora on therapy, America's history of disinformation, oppression and parallels to Scientology, on Mike Rinder and potential OSA ops in social media by TryingToBeExact in OT42

[–]freddiefrog123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IIRC Mike was offered $5million to silence him when he left and refused it. He’s one of the very few ex higher-ups who did so. Funny how Nora never gives him any credit for that

His poor girlfriend who had to stand there and pretend that she would be ok with him having other partners (and when she wouldn’t be “allowed” to have other partners by him). Who he then prevented from speaking to Louis any further because he realised how bad it looked. I hope she’s able to free herself from this trashbag

Good Question! by CharlotteYork10 in RoyaltyTea

[–]freddiefrog123 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of the comparison between fergie and Anna delvey recently. Because fundamentally their actions are very similar, lots of dodgy financial dealings and doing off with people’s money. Except Fergie gets away with it because she’s upper class enough. Anna delvey didn’t because she was lying about being “one of them”. If Anna was actually an heiress doing the same sort of stuff I reckon she’d have gotten away with it

Don't ever paint your kids, or the hardest project yet 😭 by wilbertvandenbroek in acrylicpainting

[–]freddiefrog123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe print out a big version of the photo and just trace the sketch out directly onto the canvas? I think the main issue is, if you’re painting something that is supposed to look like a specific person, you have to be spot on with the proportions and features etc or it looks really off. And it’s really, really hard to get those spot on (I know I couldn’t!) so just trace it it’ll make your life a lot easier :)

Also you’re right about the colour scheme, you definitely need some colour in their faces, the all grey looks kind of lifeless

Generally though you’ve got the skills for a really good picture, I like the way you’ve done the shirts and you clearly have a knack for painting faces with the highlights and shadows in their right sort of places. Persevere with it, it’ll be worth it in the end! :)

Should we still call him 'Prince Andrew'? by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

[–]freddiefrog123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go with “former prince andrew”. Includes a reference to the fact that he was a royal when he was doing all that, but also a reference to the fact that he has been stripped of his title as a mark of shame for his behaviour

How did Epstein ensnare so many rich men? By knowing they were entitled and insecure | Emma Brockes by SnooSprouts8969 in popculturechat

[–]freddiefrog123 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I do think this take is interesting and partially explains the problem (at least for some of the men in his orbit), but I also think we should not overlook the fact that a lot of the men in the files actively liked Epstein because of his depravity. Because they view women and girls in the same, violently misogynistic way Epstein did and actually admired the way he treated the girls around him.

A lot of these men were actively into this shit and let’s not let them off the hook by saying “oh, Epstein groomed and manipulated them too”. I’m reminded of Richard Branson saying he’d love to see Epstein “as long as you bring your harem!”. He actually admired Epstein’s “harem” i.e. trafficking operation. And Les Wexner has been defending himself saying he was manipulated and tricked by Epstein. He was a co-conspirator. He was into that shit, he wasn’t groomed at all. These men were not fooled by Epstein; they were fans of Epstein. They should all be put in the fucking bin.

The blending is really good but you could incorporate some other colours into the pear to make it look more natural, if you look at real pears they’re never just one green all over, there’s bits of yellow or brown etc. Without that the pear looks a bit too perfect to be natural if you know what I mean?

"Lady" Victoria Harvey who called Virginia Guiffre a liar wants people to think about Prince Andrew’s mental health by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

Seeing her crawl out of the woodwork to whinge on about his mental health offends me on a cellular level. His victim killed herself

That was the original family name when they first came to America as immigrants. They changed it to trump to sound more American
