#I see this for jewelry a lot

I hate how so many shops now on Etsy just take general product images from other stores and use them in their store front so you have to scour the reviews hoping someone’s posted pictures so you can see images of the ACTUAL product.

And you never really know who the original producer/maker of the item is when there’s 5 other products with the SAME EXACT IMAGE all from FIVE DIFFERENT SELLERS

Every time I think about Lords of Fortune and their cultural sensitivity I have to go 'Don't think about it' like that Portal 2 scene, because I get too invested trying to understand the logic behind it and eventually short circuit.

The Tromsø Pearl Pendant Tiara

Also called the Tromsø Halo tiara, this tiara is one of the newest acquisitions in the Carrington Royal Family's vaults and one of the oldest created, this tiara was once owned by Queen Anna of Tromsø (1834-1914, pictured above), who in turn, is an ancestress of Elissa, the Queen Dowager and the rest of the Wilkes family and their descendants.

The tiara was constructed in 1863 to mark Anna's husband, Henrik's, accession to the Tromsø throne as King Henrik III. The tiara is constructed of over 1,000 brilliantly cut diamonds and 21 teardrop pearls, most of which Anna brought with her when she married Henrik at 16.

Anna wore the tiara frequently throughout her time as Queen, and it was said to have been one of her favorites. Indeed, it must be so, as it was one of the tiaras she smuggled with her into the Akershus Fortress in 1872 after Anna spoke up against Henrik for invading her home country, Ålesund, and trying to execute her younger half-brother, King Mikael of Ålesund.

Anna smuggled the tiara out of the fort again in 1875 due to both rousing suspicion against her loyalties to her husband and to give as a wedding present to her eldest daughter, Princess Elsje, who was engaged to marry Bjørn, the Viscount Wilkes.

Elsje kept the tiara in her family's collection on multiple occasions and her granddaughter-in-law, Helena Malen, wore the tiara to the coronation of Queen Theresa-Marie of Carrington in 1928.

Later in the 20th century, the tiara was considered to be missing, as it did not appear on Victoria, the Duchess of Wilkes at the coronation of King Kristof VI in 1975 nor on Clara, the Viscountess Wilkes at the coronation of King Louis in 1984. The former master of the jewels for the Duke of Wilkes stated in 1993 that the tiara was too delicate and fragile to wear without the proper precautions.

When Clara's daughter, Elissa, began dating then Crown Prince Richard in the early 2000s, many in the royal circles expressed a hope that a reappearance of the tiara was imminent and when their engaged was announced, the tiara was one of the ones that many hoped to see on her at her wedding.

Elissa has worn the tiara on a handful of occasions, most of those overseas to represent the Royal Family and most of the appearances occurred while she was still Crown Princess. Her first appearance wearing the tiara was to the wedding of Prince Carl-Philip of Sweden and Sofia Hellqvist (as seen above) in 2015.

Since then, the tiara has made infrequent appearances on Queen Anastasia and the Countess of Betancourt, who wore the tiara to the coronation of Queen Anastasia, the first coronation it had attended in 120 years. Other female members of the Royal Family have not been loaned the tiara by the Queen or Queen Dowager, including Princess Katherine and the Duchess of Asbury.

Some reports after Elissa wore the tiara for the first time indicated that it was a wedding present gifted to her by her grandmother, Victoria, the then Dowager Duchess of Wilkes, and that it was never intended to be loaned out to other members of the Royal Family besides Elissa and her female descendants. The tiara has not yet been loaned to either Princess Alice, Elissa's youngest daughter, nor Thalia, the Duchess of Exeter, Elissa's only daughter-in-law (the wife of her eldest son Michael), at the time of writing.

I'm genuinely just so happy that everyone in shinee has non-idol-life related hobbies and interests, and are actively developing themselves outside of music. minho has soccer and golf, onew has yoga (and is now officially a yoga instructor??), key has his food (and a certificate in cooking??), taemin is only just making baby steps but to hear he's been cycling and just hanging out and discovering hobbies and seeing how much happier and calmer he looks than before

I'm just really here to support them in whatever they choose to do, even - or especially - if it's off-camera and not at all related to their main jobs.

i had a horrible(ly funny) realization

yall know old town road? that shit was so popular in the us with the 6 and below crowd when it came out, i know because i worked with that age group at the time and it was all i heard. every single day. every single movement break. old town road. but not by lil naz x. by kidz bop.

so, the realization: if cha cha cha was released in the usa, there'd totally be a kids bop version
