So… I need some help. (Commissions open!!)
I honestly didn’t think I’d end up here. I’ve always been able to handle my finances so that I’d get through the month just fine with a little left over at the end of the month.
But now with CoVid, all of that money I saved is gone. I normally work in tourism/political education, and we were not allowed to do our jobs properly during the pandemic, and even in the few weeks we were allowed to work last summer, due to the fact that there were no international tourists and no school classes (since schools were either closed or had to catch up), we hardly worked anyways. And just when I thought I had enough to make it through, I had to spend 400€ at the vet to save my baby Woody.
But all of that is going to change soon. I have a few jobs in June and July; still not nearly enough, but at least some, and we hope that in August the internationals might come back. I’m also moving back to my parents in July, so then I’ll be fine.
But I could really use some help getting there.
I still have some vet expenses, I need to pay for the move and I need a few things to get ready for work. Overall, it’s not too much, but if you have a few bucks to spare, I’d appreciate it a ton.
I set up a Ko-Fi here, but I also want to give something back, so, if you’d like to commission some poses, deco sims or something else within my skill set, please send me a dm! You could also support me by subscribing to my Patreon, where I plan to do more polls, share some wips, etc. Reblogs are also greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance, I truly appreciate it!
xx

Henry, Earl of Alconbury: Mother, what a pleasant surprise! I did not expect you in London quite so soon.
Catherine, Dowager Countess of Alconbury: Yes, we decided to come earlier, you see. You look well, dear Alconbury, what about Julia? How has she been?
Henry: She is as lovely as ever, of course. Julia will be overjoyed to hear of your arrival and keen to see Arabella again, just as I find me to be. Do tell her she already has two fast friends in us.
Tumblr media
Catherine: I shall certainly do so. And since you did not come here to see me, I will keep you no longer. I suppose you wish to see the duke?
Henry: Indeed, Madam. I take it he's in the library?
Catherine: I fear your cousin is not at home. He was unwell earlier today and left soon after I noticed it. I do not know where he is.
Henry: Unwell? What do you mean?
Catherine: We were talking, and suddenly he paled, seemed a bit lightheaded as well.
Tumblr media
Henry: I see. But in any case, you need not worry about his health, mother, for his sullen disposition belies a strong constitution.
Catherine: I am glad to hear it. Howbeit, I am sorry you wasted your journey.
Henry: The joy it brings me to see you outweighs any possible inconvenience, mother. And I could hardly call it wasted: Wolverham is not half as elusive as he fancies himself to be.

Antique photographs (1860s-1910s)
I don’t know how useful this is but there are about 50 photographs of European nobility and royalty (mostly Russian) in two files because I don’t know how to merge the two packages :/
The mesh is by Severinka and you need it for this to work.
Hope you like it!

Doctor, look into my eyes I've been breathing air, but there's no sign of life Doctor, the problem's in my chest My heart feels cold as ice, but it's anybody's guess
---- transcript ----
- I must say, Wolverham, this house is almost exactly as your mother left it.
- I am not particular about furniture. There has never been any reason to make changes.
- Well, she would have been glad to see everything is as she liked.
- Did she ever tell you how much she loathed London?
- Did she? One would never tell just by looking at her. Your mother was a great hostess. And your sister seems to be following her footsteps; I have no doubt her first Season will be a success. Your parents would be so very proud.
- You speak as though that were a good thing.
- I have upset you. Please, forgive me for bringing such a subject up. Shall we move on to more cheerful topics? Since itt has already been mentioned: we must prepare for Arabella’s presentation.
- She is quite eager to do well and I hope you have been paving the way for her. Have you been hosting? What have you been doing to aid your sister?
when have you ever done anything for your sister?...I come in peace, father...
- Are you alright?
you have disrespected me enough for one lifetime...now you have decided to play the fool?...you wretched devil
- Aunt, I beg your pardon but I fear we shall have to continue this conversation later. Once again, do forgive me. And I am quite well, thank you for inquiring.

If my true love won't go
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go
