Didn't post it because I genuinely hate how it turned out, but I don't care anymore. Thank you to @tacoscribs and your post for the inspo.

Another batch of Characters I have as dolls.

This time with Aura, Noah, Lili, Benedikt, Keith, Delilah, Samuel, Saramir, Elana, Loreley, CiR, Josephine, Furuta and CuS.

Bits and more regarding the characters behind the cut C:

Aura - Counterpart to Trauma, she's based on another LP, but only roughly on one song (aka 'Aura und das Schneckenhaus'), she's also a underling of Pierre but can't remember her former life.

Noah - Lydia's twin brother, very confused. I took forever to find him a doll shell. As a character he ends up corrupted and turns into a man named Ephraim. Funfact: Samuel's first doll shell was supposed to be Ephraim.

Lili - Pierre's little sister, or lets say... what is left of her. She was the first one he tried to patch up but kind of failed. She is mute but their sibling relationship is still intact.

Benedikt - Reverse Pinocchio, as mentioned not too long ago he wished to be a doll as his mother always favored dolls over him. As he turned into one she wa so shocked she lost her sanity. Benedikt never learned that her dolls were corpses she had prepared after killing the people she found 'fitting'.

Keith - or Kayleigh. Super spoiled fashion victim, changes styles as much as they change their pronouns, they are genderfluid and born with the ability to see ghosts, nobody ever believes them until.... Trauma appears and starts talking back.

Delilah - Protagonist of 'Weltenzirkus' and one of my most disliked OCs. Maybe because a former friend helped fleshing her out and that friend ended up being super abusive and toxic :') so eh ... not my fav but important for the story. She's bratty and never is responsible for anything (according to herself).

Samuel - My first ever OC, changed through the years but still holds a very special place in my heart. He's a clown but currently forbidden to perform as he got injured, he is now... the errand boy. Until Delilah pops up and gets partnered with him and he is forced to perform again...

Loreley - My witch, I think out of my female dolls she is the most spoiled one I own. She actually started out as random Minifee I wanted as dress up doll but then split into ... 3 other dolls.

Elana - The second out of the "dress up Minifee". She's as a character not only Loreley's lover but also Samuel's foster mother, she sadly disappears without a trace one day.

Saramir - Current Vice Ringmaster of the circus and Samuel's 'Dad' figure. He is not allowed to help Samuel but still ... helps him where is able to. Bigger brother to Oisín but has no clue his brother turned cruel in the meantime.

CiR & CuS - putting them together. I originally had ordered CuS (DC Jakov), got the wrong doll (DC Andre) but didn't notice until I had customized the doll. I ... bought the wrong doll off the dealer after noticing and then got the original doll I had ordered. As I wanted them to match I made up a new concept for them. They sell tickets and advertise the circus.

Josephine - I'm not much into cat themed dolls but this little cheshire cat with the grin... I fell for her. She arrived on christmas eve and is my little holiday doll. I kind of adore her overall concept with the little store to sell candy T.T one of the cutest concepts I came up with.

Furuta (Minami) - I won the head in a photography contest from Peakswoods and I am still thankful I got it. The character was first supposed to be a supporting character for Samuel, that's why I sometimes use 'Minami' as name. But the character became Furuta from Tokyo Ghoul, he's a Clown and aside Kaneki and Takiwaza my fav from the series.

Record Store Day Roundup: 2024 Edition

Another Record Store Day has come and gone. Did you snag that coveted pressing of that album you had your eye on? Hopefully your experience was as good as mine was, and you were able to grab at least something on your list either in-person or online afterwards. In this article, I’ll be recapping things I noticed about the most popular titles going first, providing feedback on the pressing numbers for this year’s collection, and ways to keep vinyl fans engaged with their local record stores throughout the year. Most Popular Titles Across the board, it seemed that the fastest title to leave the record store shelves were the ultra-coveted 7 inch split between Olivia Rodrigo/Noah Kahan for “Stick Season/Lucy.” The single was pressed on a colored vinyl, and was limited to 15,000 copies. If you weren’t able to snag this title, the good news is that it’s labeled as “RSD First” title, meaning that it plans to get a future pressing. Another title that was unique and in very limited quantities was a cool looking mini record player plus 3″ singles from a little band known as The Beatles. This Bluetooth-enabled mini turntable featured a Beatles-branded dust cover and was packaged with four mini singles of “She Loves You,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Til There Was You,” and “I Saw Her Standing There.” The cute set was limited to 2,300 units, and was partially responsible for the long lines during Record Store Day. Another surprisingly coveted release was the ITEIAD Sessions by The Japanese House, which was limited to just 800 copies. This set featured alternate session versions of In The End It Always Does, including an alternative version of lead single, “Boyhood,” and a cover of ABBA’s “Super Trouper.” This “RSD First” title will get another pressing, but this 6-track EP pressed on white vinyl was a hot item on the secondary market. The last “hot item” that I was lucky enough to get my hands on was the long out of print sophomore album by At The Drive-In called In/Casino/Out. This Craft Recordings “RSD First” exclusive was limited to 3,500 copies, and was a fast mover at record stores across the country. It was pressed on a cool, Purple/Green Smoke LP, and it sounds pretty damn dynamic to my ears on my turntable. The Introduction of Discogs’ Record Store Day Afters Another cool component of this year’s Record Store Day was the unveiling of an International Discogs database of RSD-exclusives from 13 countries. This is called the “Record Store Day Afters” website, and launches today at 3 PM (Eastern Time Zone) here. Additionally, other stores across the U.S. released their Record Store Day stock on Discogs and their own websites, at retail cost, as early as the day after Record Store Day 2024. This greatly helped me, and thousands of other vinyl collectors, in obtaining those RSD exclusives without being scalped on Ebay and other secondary auction sites. Recommendations for Improvements for Future Record Store Day Observances While my experience was overwhelmingly positive, I have heard from others in the vinyl community that there is still room for improvement in the Record Store Day process. The lines are a tough situation to navigate, but I feel like our indie record stores are getting better at keeping the lines moving by having helpful staff determine which titles are gone throughout the day and assisting customers with finding their wanted titles in a timely fashion. Other suggestions would be to limit the “flip through” process of the RSD bins by having customers with their lists handy to ask if certain titles are in stock so they don’t hold up the lines searching for a title that isn’t there. Many great indie stores across the U.S. were up front and communicative about their RSD stock, and this transparency will help out customers in feeling a sense of community with their local shops. The pressing numbers were fairly on point this year, with a few exceptions that I’ve already outlined. As long as Record… https://chorus.fm/features/record-store-day-roundup-2024-edition/

Wild World: Books & Where to Read Them

A few weeks ago we came into possession of a spare copy of a beautiful book called Wild World, courtesy of travel publisher Lonely Planet. You won’t find (well, we haven’t) a more stunning photographic collection of landscapes and other natural phenomena, and thanks to LP’s generosity, we were able to offer it as a raffle prize to our customers. The randomly-selected winner was Rachel Feng, who couldn’t have been more excited to be chosen--her delight was worth everything that went into the raffle and then some.

But after she left with her book we realized we were sitting on a prize of our own. We’d hung a world map at the front counter and asked entrants to mark it with a sticker indicating “the most interesting place” they’d ever been. They also wrote the name of the place on their entry forms along with the title of a book they thought would be good to read on a visit there.

Home Insurance Startup Hippo Joins the ‘Unicorn’ Club: Term Sheet

We’ve got a new unicorn, and my colleague Robert Hackett has the exclusive.

Hippo, a tech startup focused on the insurance market, has raised $100 million in new venture capital at a $1 billion valuation, the threshold for so-called unicorn status. 

Hippo’s latest cash injection was spearheaded by Bond Capital, an investment firm that well-known investor Mary Meeker recently spun out of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a Silicon Valley venture capital stalwart. (Read my recent feature about Kleiner’s downfall.) This is Bond’s second-ever investment following a bet in May on Canva, an Australia-based provider of graphic design tools.

Hackett reports:

Noah Knauf, the Bond investor who led Hippo’s latest funding round and is joining the company’s board as part of the deal, says that financial services are in the middle of a “massive and tectonic disruption.” He describes home insurance as one of fintech’s “gnarliest” challenges due to the prevalence of regulations in the insurance market. 

“We’re religious, and compliance is the religion,” Wand tells Fortune. After mentioning how Hippo puts the customer first, Wand revises his statement, saying, “Actually, the customer comes second, after compliance.” 

Aside from the big kahunas, such as Allstate and Travelers, Hippo’s biggest rival is Lemonade, a Softbank-backed fintech startup that reached a $2 billion private valuation in April. Lemonade is better known for selling renters’ insurance, though it also offers homeowner’s insurance. 

Hippo has raised a total of $209 million in funding to date. Existing investors such as Comcast Ventures, real estate giant Lennar, venture capital firm Iconiq Capital, and others also contributed to the latest round of funding.

There’s plenty of investor appetite in the insurance sector. According to CB Insights, global insurance tech investment reached $4.15 billion in 2018. Expect more big dollars on the horizon.

WeWork IPO UPDATE: WeWork plans to make its initial public debut in September, which is earlier than investors had expected. The company, which filed its IPO paperwork confidentially late last year, is expected to publicly disclose it in August, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

WeWork is reportedly meeting with Wall Street banks this week about an asset-backed loan and is expected to raise $5 billion to $6 billion, or about $2 billion more than it had originally sought. The funds will lessen the amount WeWork needs to raise in the IPO, which could increase the probability of success for a company with ballooning losses, the story says. Read more.

PE FEEDBACK: Yesterday, I asked Term Sheet readers to weigh in on Leo Hindery Jr.’s Fortune op-ed in which he makes the case for the ‘Stop Wall Street Looting Act’ and explains why the private equity industry needs to be reined in. Here’s what you had to say in response: 

Jeff: Mr. Hindrey’s op-ed is so loaded with factual errors and logical fallacies that it’s hard to know where to begin critiquing it. At the core, he rejects the American Way—the free enterprise system. If he has a better model for private equity, he should do the hard work of convincing LPs, of buying companies, and building a team that can repeat that over and over. He could use his success as a shining example and urge all to emulate. Instead, he wants to use government force to have central planners—without any capital of their own at risk—to force others to conform to Sen. Warren’s views of what is best. This type of busybody regulation has always reduced capital formation, which would in turn harm most the very people he claims to champion. This is pure demagoguery.

Colin: Modern PE firms are by no means the robber barons of yesteryear. The easiest way to succeed in private equity is for your companies to hit it out of the park and grow like a weed. With that said, PE’s presence in certain industries, as Leo notes, does create perverse incentives. The recent growth of PE into healthcare providers has provided little value creation beyond gamesmanship around M&A and multiple arbitrage, while likely driving up costs for patients. Is Elizabeth Warren’s bill the right solution? Probably not. Another economic downturn would certain throttle back many of the excesses of the industry in an equally meaningful way.

Michael: As a sector-focused VC, I can’t see doing it any other way. The value we give to our LPs (many of them strategic), and to our portfolio companies (many of whom we are engaged on a near-daily basis), is entirely connected to our depth of focus on the world of mobility– from OEMs like our investors Renault-Nissan, BMW, Hyundai, to the world of micromobility with companies like Bird and Lime and everything in between.

Home Insurance Startup Hippo Joins the ‘Unicorn’ Club: Term Sheet

We’ve got a new unicorn, and my colleague Robert Hackett has the exclusive.

Hippo, a tech startup focused on the insurance market, has raised $100 million in new venture capital at a $1 billion valuation, the threshold for so-called unicorn status. 

Hippo’s latest cash injection was spearheaded by Bond Capital, an investment firm that well-known investor Mary Meeker recently spun out of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a Silicon Valley venture capital stalwart. (Read my recent feature about Kleiner’s downfall.) This is Bond’s second-ever investment following a bet in May on Canva, an Australia-based provider of graphic design tools.

Hackett reports:

Noah Knauf, the Bond investor who led Hippo’s latest funding round and is joining the company’s board as part of the deal, says that financial services are in the middle of a “massive and tectonic disruption.” He describes home insurance as one of fintech’s “gnarliest” challenges due to the prevalence of regulations in the insurance market. 

“We’re religious, and compliance is the religion,” Wand tells Fortune. After mentioning how Hippo puts the customer first, Wand revises his statement, saying, “Actually, the customer comes second, after compliance.” 

Aside from the big kahunas, such as Allstate and Travelers, Hippo’s biggest rival is Lemonade, a Softbank-backed fintech startup that reached a $2 billion private valuation in April. Lemonade is better known for selling renters’ insurance, though it also offers homeowner’s insurance. 

Hippo has raised a total of $209 million in funding to date. Existing investors such as Comcast Ventures, real estate giant Lennar, venture capital firm Iconiq Capital, and others also contributed to the latest round of funding.

There’s plenty of investor appetite in the insurance sector. According to CB Insights, global insurance tech investment reached $4.15 billion in 2018. Expect more big dollars on the horizon.

Read the full story here.

WeWork IPO UPDATE: WeWork plans to make its initial public debut in September, which is earlier than investors had expected. The company, which filed its IPO paperwork confidentially late last year, is expected to publicly disclose it in August, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

WeWork is reportedly meeting with Wall Street banks this week about an asset-backed loan and is expected to raise $5 billion to $6 billion, or about $2 billion more than it had originally sought. The funds will lessen the amount WeWork needs to raise in the IPO, which could increase the probability of success for a company with ballooning losses, the story says. Read more.

PE FEEDBACK: Yesterday, I asked Term Sheet readers to weigh in on Leo Hindery Jr.’s Fortune op-ed in which he makes the case for the ‘Stop Wall Street Looting Act’ and explains why the private equity industry needs to be reined in. Here’s what you had to say in response: 

Jeff: Mr. Hindrey’s op-ed is so loaded with factual errors and logical fallacies that it’s hard to know where to begin critiquing it. At the core, he rejects the American Way—the free enterprise system. If he has a better model for private equity, he should do the hard work of convincing LPs, of buying companies, and building a team that can repeat that over and over. He could use his success as a shining example and urge all to emulate. Instead, he wants to use government force to have central planners—without any capital of their own at risk—to force others to conform to Sen. Warren’s views of what is best. This type of busybody regulation has always reduced capital formation, which would in turn harm most the very people he claims to champion. This is pure demagoguery.

Colin: Modern PE firms are by no means the robber barons of yesteryear. The easiest way to succeed in private equity is for your companies to hit it out of the park and grow like a weed. With that said, PE’s presence in certain industries, as Leo notes, does create perverse incentives. The recent growth of PE into healthcare providers has provided little value creation beyond gamesmanship around M&A and multiple arbitrage, while likely driving up costs for patients. Is Elizabeth Warren’s bill the right solution? Probably not. Another economic downturn would certain throttle back many of the excesses of the industry in an equally meaningful way.

Michael: As a sector-focused VC, I can’t see doing it any other way. The value we give to our LPs (many of them strategic), and to our portfolio companies (many of whom we are engaged on a near-daily basis), is entirely connected to our depth of focus on the world of mobility– from OEMs like our investors Renault-Nissan, BMW, Hyundai, to the world of micromobility with companies like Bird and Lime and everything in between.

What's up, boys. I'm back with another practice LPS custom, and the paint job came out clumpier than I'd like, but other than that, they're 👌

His name is Murphy. He's a shoebill stork. I gifted him to my sister because shoebill storks are her favorite bird. (She loves birds.)

Taking in the sunset...

Fun fact: an adult shoebill stork is five feet tall with an eight-foot-long wingspan and although rare, these birds are very capable of killing and eating you.

If you've never seen a shoebill stork before, you are not ready for these photos.

Wow, that's intimidating, isn't it? Well, guess what. These murderous-looking birds can also look like this:

Muppet. 😌

Just wanted to show what Pinecone looked like beforehand in a separate post.

And the claws were added on halfway through the process because I forgot pangolins have claws. Haha

[roahs-lps-ark]

I made my first custom in four years!

They've got imperfections, but I'd say they're decent, considering I'm out of practice. Their name is Enby. ;)

[roahs-lps-ark]

My lesbian couple adopted Enby. 😌

Fambly. 💛

Also, do you guys have any name suggestions for this persian and poodle? I've had them forever, but they've never had official names.
