Is it just me or is the sussex Christmas pic with the kids kinda funny. It just gives the impression that the couple came back from months months of oversees trips and holidays and were the kids after aaaaages. And also, it's basically a still grab from a video.

Very unconventional for a Christmas card, to have a collage of your couple pics and videos that already in the public domain and then just slyly insert a screenshot from a private video in there. Tells me Meghan chose the pics she thought she looked best in and then insisted it was more professional this way.

I'm going to add this incident to the divorce watch list because this past week we also had articles separately from him and her blaming eachother for polo. There was an article from Harry's perspective blaming Meghan for not working enough. Then there was one from her perspective distancing herself from polo and saying they had no control over the final edit.

I think Harry's team is sneakily working on his return to "serious work". I'm waiting for when they start saying that most of the money making projects have been his - heart of Invictus, polo, that one documentary about world leaders (it's his kinda people after all, not her network), spare, Harry and Meghan the real story - it's all been either his interests or his family that was cashed upon. Meghan's ventures haven't made any money - bench, podcast. Or they never took off (40x40, jam making).

Do you think it's strategic that Meghan isn't actually working and making any money and letting Harry bring in the serious money that they have been living off of? It seems rather obvious by now and goes against everything that she told us she was 6 years back.

Yeah, I thought that picture of the kids was weird too. It's very much projecting "one big happy family" (which is also an indicator in divorce watch, so...).

Do I think it's strategic Meghan isn't working? Yes and no.

Yes, because it's to her advantage if there's a divorce. If she can show that Harry is the main breadwinner and that his income afforded the children a certain and precise standard of luxury living that they're accustomed to while she has been the primary caretaker at home, then Meghan has a very solid case to request huge sums in monthly child support and alimony and she may likely get it.

No, because it's clear Meghan fancies herself an entrepreneur of some kind (and she has since at least 2012ish when she launched The Tig) and you can tell it really bothers here- maybe even angers her - when her ideas don't work or something isn't received or executed the way she wants. The flaw in this approach is that Meghan can't focus on just one thing; she changes her mind and switches her idea every couple of months when it isn't the overnight success she expects. She needs to pick just one thing and stick with it, giving it time (like years-long time) instead of losing interest the second something shinier comes along.

December patron poll is live! This month's theme is more...winter-oriented, let's say. We're keeping it simple and figuring out what form (and outfit) to give Glamor for the holidays.

... Wait, what? Patron poll? For my older tumblr following this probably comes as a surprise but, yeah, I do have a Patreon page. I've recently restructured it to offer better benefits, and have finally started running polls for my supporters to vote on monthly character pieces.

Have a quick breakdown:

The poll-voted pieces will also be patron-exclusive for a month, as thanks to my supporters. But, no worries, they will be made public once the following month's poll drawing is finished.

If Patreon isn't really your jam, I have a SubscribeStar instead, for those who prefer it.

(Pardon my shilling, I don't like doing it but times are getting tougher and any support I can get is honestly a blessing. Thanks, fellas. <3 )

Okay, y'all, one of my least favorite things to do is ask for help, but I'm backed into another corner.

To sum up what's in the GoFundMe story, my parents are angling to take over my finances and their way of doing that is charging me the big yearly bills for my house and car, but doing it in a way that disability doesn't recognize as rent, so I get no allowance for housing in my monthly disability payments.

I have the first bill of $955 coming up in early June - house insurance - and no way of covering it right now.

I've set up this GoFundMe, but if that isn't your jam, I also have Paypal, Ko-Fi, Venmo, and am willing to discuss commissions.
