So, one of my hobbies is looking at real estate websites and checking out the best and worst out there. I like seeing what crazy things people come up with.
I would like to take you on a ride. Today, it's not a good ride.
The first thing you need to know is that I live in Romania, so the real estate websites I look at tend to be Romanian. The best known is probably imobiliare.ro, which literally means "real estate dot ro".
The second thing you need to know is that Romanians tend to be home owners, not renters, unless they're students or young.
The third thing you need to know is that ther's a wide availability of offers for everything home-related, and it's not that expensive, but taste is in short supply.
That being said, I was looking at houses in Bucharest today. I found one that was built in 1999, 5 rooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 balcony, 312.58 square meters total, built on 120 square meters on the surface. Selling price: 239,000 euros, which feels too cheap for such a big place in the capital (even if it's in an undesirable area).
Are you ready?
This is the place. Look at that building. Somebody went creative on it. It's like you bought your own plot of land, but missed the apartment block aesthetic and wanted to recreate it. Except maybe with some really weird choices regarding the... gables? Roof? I can't tell from here.
It's nice having a courtyard that you've cemented. It really cements the fact that this is your property and you can do whatever on it.
I'm more used to seeing this... cement marble mosaic or whatever indoors, in institutions. Schools, maybe?
Oh. Wait. They've added it indoors and I don't even. Why would you use it inside your house? Why do the stairs not have a railing? Why do the doors look like they miss the castle they were stolen from? Why is there an extra step next to the stairs? Why is there what appears to be a tiny door towards the *inside* of the stair? (Cupboard maybe?)
This will be a ride.
The kitchen! The owners went wild here. I'm not sure what they were going for, but they definitely got something. I wonder if the table truly matches the walls or if it's just an impression. I feel like every color here clashes with every other color.
I used to live in a place that had a similar kitchen, except the walls were shades of pink. I used to cry when cleaning it, because its colors showed under the grime.
The back of the chair has writing on it saying
"back of a chair
1 person
6 pieces"
Where are the other 5 chairs? Don't answer that.
The bathroom! Huge. Blue, except for the cement. No cupboards. A toilet and a bidet. I think I'd feel awkward taking a bath there. It would feel like taking a bath in a disused storage room. Not sure why.
Going up the stairs, these people *really* don't believe in railings, but they at least have a desk to block your impending doom if you wander too close to the stairwell.
The cement mosaic stays and feels oppressive. I'm loathing it with a passion, but the Greek-style, waist-high decorative column on the left distracts me from the ugliness with confusion. There seems to be a bonsai on top.
Next to a mirror, someone who might be a silver Virgin Mary stares at us.
A photo taken from the opposite direction shows us more castle doors and shelves hold porcelains, mostly depicting animals.
This house feels disconnected. Like the rooms are probably their separate, individual places. These huge hallways are just meant to connect them. Maybe this place belongs to 5 separate people who each do their thing.
Maybe not.
Finally, a room.
This looks like granny's workout room. The pale blue walls, the watercolor painting in the gilded frame, the old-style, cheap, lacquered wardrobe... All it's missing is some stucco.
I wonder why they bought two identical smaller carpets when they could've bought a bigger one.
But at least it has wooden flooring! It doesn't look as uncomfortably cold and hard!
Another angle makes this room look entirely different. Almost like the wardrobe isn't hanging out on half the wall awkwardly. We see another framed watercolor and what seems to be an overly crowded table.
This bedroom doesn't contradict my theory that people might be living here separately. It's big enough that I can see someone hang in there whenever they're home. And there's the workout equipment. All it needs is a TV.
Never mind, it has a TV, too. (But no place where you might sit with a laptop.)
A picture of another bathroom, this one in black. It has a cupboard and a shower curtain and looks like it might be used on purpose.
Another room!
This one's blue. Blue-painted wooden floor, blue-ish carpets. Someone put some thought into making it comfortable and nice. It has shelves, and a wardrobe that stretches the whole length of the wall, and loads of light. I can even see a theme here, as each room seems to have some workout equipment.
While a breath of fresh air, it reminds me of camgirl aesthetic.
It's also the last room we get to see.
Except this one, unless it's a hallway. It has a ping-pong table! Neat. And loads of maps on the walls, presumably so the owners find someplace to run that's not this house.
A picture from the other side shows us more workout equipment. What even is this place?
More workout equipment. What is this, a gym with bedrooms attached? I've got nothing.
And that's about all the relevant pictures.
What can I say? The more I look at it, the more perplexing, ugly and uncomfortable it seems. It never ceases to baffle me that somebody chose to make it like this. Presumably they liked it, if they either lived there for 20 years or bought it and moved there at some point during that period.
You can see the listing here, with a few extra pics from different angles.

I FOUND SAMPO CONCEPT ART!!!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/sl110s10/status/1783260491948933463
Here is the translation from Google:
This is huge:
it confirms that Sampo’s design is mean to be snake based
directly talks about some hidden powers of his and describes him as dangerous and someone who hides their true thoughts
also he’s a KEY FIGURE!!!
And he is the one changing the outcome of the war, confirming that he kind of is orchestrating Jarilo-VI’s events behind the scenes

johnny likes it when you’re laying on your front, body pressed flush on the bed. like this, he always make sure to take the time to rut his cock in the cleft of your ass, only ever to tease—to make you feel the girth and the length of his dick.
there are times when he lathers himself with lube, slicking his prick and your ass—maybe finger your hole too, plugging both your cunt and your hole at the same time—for a long foreplay of humping, like this is the first time you’re having sex with him and he’s giving you a show of how he’ll drill you.
but today, the lube remains untouched on your bedside table, and johnny’s turned to rutting just to see the way his cock is sandwiched between your ass cheeks. it makes johnny feral, grunting, turning animalistic with drool frothing from the corners of his lips.
