[spottys-rathole]

Des fois j'fais des rêves à la con, et dès fois les gens du serveur se chauffent à les développer. Anyway qui a demandé des gangsters qui s'efforcent de rester calme sur le parking de l'école ?

"C'est qui le monsieur ?" "Personne, juste un type que papa a planté en prison. Mets ta ceinture"

"Speaking of angsty things, when are you bringing Phoebus back, Immy?"

//When the counter reaches 100.

"What counter??"

//Nothing.

Bien sûr, bien sûr, je sais vous savez nous savons que Liam est en fait Barbie et que Marcello est en fait Ken dans le couple, mais on sait aussi que les expressions leur correspondent mieux ainsi alors lezgo en fait

Liam m'a fait putain de galérer avec son visage, il m'a foutu les nerfs en rogne et j'en suis toujours pas satisfait, mais je suis content de la différence d'expressions entre eux deux, c'est drôle

Okay it is time for me to talk about rpz characters !

Small explanation on what is rpZ : a gta rp server that was created by Zeraror made to last 2 weeks exactly. It was the first introduction to rp for a lot of French streamers. It was full rp and almost everything was impro. The only big event really organized was elections for the mayor (won by a dog who gives free cocaine btw)

All of our french qsmp stremears (expect Kameto) participated.

ANTOINE CROUTE (he/him)

Baghera character

He is 16 years old, youngest of the server, often misgender because of his high-pitched voice. He spent the full two weeks with his cousin Daniel Croute (play on words with Antoine Daniel), so we can't speak about one without speaking about the other two they are basically soulmate. At first we think they both have parents and we don't see them because they are on holidays, but towards the end given the fact that they confess that there parents don't give news and the fact that they live on the street we understand they have been abandoned.

Antoine often says he is the muscle and Daniel the brain but they both aren't that smart and very naive and get themself into a lot of troubles. They are looking for an internship but always inevitably get fired because of their numerous mistacke. They will finaly found a job at Montazac(Antoine characters)'s vineyard even after a few incident in the end Donatien de Montazac permently hire them, makes them heir then adopt them.

Links with q!Baghera :

The obvious one is their need for a family and habit to get attached quickly to anyone who start to respond to their need. Baghera did it with philza and Antoine with Donatien and Doc Maison(a mentor of his). The fact that they don't have a "real" familly hurt their selfestem

Then more funny(?) is their relationship with death. Or if we want to be precise the temporary kind of death (because of the coma dynamic in gta and respawn in Minecraft ). If you are familiar with q!Baghera she as a tendency to die a lot but also to encourage other to do so, saying they should die more, have more fun with death in general. She steps on mine, drown herself, jump of clif, for fun and giggle a lot. In the spawn of two weeks Antoine had 48 coma, the record of the server (compilation of all his coma). Antoine keeps on dying dumb way and never learn his lesson as doctors will anyway always come to help him

Their compassion and the way they always go out of their way to help. q!Baghera in a way that she always tries to find the best solution to help their friends and resolve situations and Antoine just throws himself into dangerous situation to help his loved one.

In the first week of the qsmp, Baghera told the adventures of the Croute cousins to Pomme as a bed time story. The moral was that even when adversity kept making their life difficult they kept hoping for their happy ending with they got.

DONATIEN DE MONTAZAC (he/him)

Antoine's character. He is a winery owner, very rich, and has for motivation getting even richer. We understand quite fast that he doesn't care for no one except him and his money(but his characters evolve during the weeks). He is taken ostage at least 4 times and somwhat always manage to escape the situation harmless and with more money than before. He isn't violent but is in an relashionship with the Vagos (local mafia) to protect his domain. He presented himself to the election and had a lot of votes, he was quite pised to lost against a dog.

For multiple reason (he snitched on him to the cops) he is hated by doctor Cox, a dangerous ex psychologist with a love for revenge. Cox will try to manipulate antoine into betraying Donatien without sucees. The last day he will kidnapepd both Croute cousins and will force Donatien to choose one to kill, he will refuse to but will instead forced to beat them up. They will be ultimatly be saved by the fact that Cox henchman don't want kids to be hurt in the conflict and called the police. After the incident he will confess that for them he would have been capable of paying any ransom (wich is a lot coming from him)

Links with q!Antoine :

I think q!antoine is really different from Donatien but one thing they do have in common is their selfishness. Not in a particularly mean way but they both put their own interests as an all top priority and won't go out of their way to help other if it doesn't benefices them.

But also both character soften their way for they kids, Donatien for Antoine and Daniel and Antoine for Pomme. In both case it is a slow warming to them and then love with a powerful want to protect(less shown with Donatien because Antoine is already almost an adult and can take care of himself)

He reference his character out of rp : During qsmp 2024 anytime he was winning a lot of money he would jokingly said he was in a "Donatien arc". During the elections arc, he said that he gave enough before and don't want to try to lose to the dumb mascot again (Gegg in qsmp, the dog in rpz)

PATRICK PAGNOLESS (he/him)

Aypierre's character.

(Okay, so I didn't watch his pov. This is more what I know from wiki fandom/clips/seeing him in other pov)

He is the owner of the Pagnoless brother with his brother Jackyyy (played by JimmyBoyyy which you might have seen during purgatory 2). It is the richest enterprise as well as the one with more depts. He is from the south of France and left to escape the Corse mafia.

Link to q!Aypierre :

Obviously his love for capitalism and troling (wich is more a Cc!Aypieree thing)

RAYOU WHITE (he/him)

Etoiles's character.

Not much to say since because of scheduling conflict and difficulties with rp Etoiles didn't play much. He was basically a bald doctor with depression. He is really passive aggressive and hates his job.

ANYWAY, that was not short at all but I cut a lot of things and tried to make it still understandable.I maybe forgotten things, rpz were a pretty eventful 2 weeks.

If you have questions drop them in my askbox ! Also if you don't agree or want to add someting to my analysis please feel free I'm very interested !

J'ai fait une édition d'une de mes fanfics !! C'est une histoire de police donc je voulais que ça fasse un peu dossier et je suis assez fière d'avoir fait tout ça avec juste le matériel de chez moi. Open office, une petite imprimante domestique et du papier d'imprimante basique.

I made a printed version of one of my fanfictions, it's a crime story so I kinda wanted it to look like a folder. I'm pretty happy I managed to make it using only stuff I had at home. Open office a little family printer and basic printing paper.

[gay-impressionist]

QUESTIONS FOR 15 FRIENDS

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

Nope. All my three names are just names that my parents liked

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

Honestly no idea lol. But somewhere in the last week or two probably. Maybe when I read about the death of that non-binary 16yo. I remember that made me cry.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

No, and don't want any.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?

I haven't exercised in a very long time lol. But I swam, did gymnastics and judo in primary school. After that, I only played sports for school.

DO YOU USE SARCASM?

Depends on the context ? With my family, definitely. But outside of that, people don't always recognize it so I tend not to use it as much. Maybe more now that I work with people who like sarcasm lol

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?

Their "regard", aka the look in their eyes for lack of a better traduction. It shows personalities a lot I'd say.

Also their hair, smile and general vibe/style.

WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOUR?

Blue. Grey-blue if you want to get specific.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?

Happy endings 😌 I'm not into stuff that scares me, it's not a feeling I like to experience on purpose. I have enough of it with my anxiety lol.

ANY TALENTS?

No lol. I'm good at a lot of stuff, but I don't have any talent per se.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

Paris ! (12ème arrondissement rpz)

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Listening to music, reading, watching movies/tv shows, japanese bookbinding, seeing my friends, travelling, going on tumblr, taking photos...

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?

Nope. I used to have a goldfish named Coco because that's all my parents would allowed us to have (I wanted a bunny) though.

HOW TALL ARE YOU?

1m69

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?

History ! And sociology

DREAM JOB?

I kinda have it? Lol. My dream job is to work for a big public administration, in HR and/or in the field of diversity/equality/discriminations, where I can work on a variety of subjects, as interdisciplinary as possible, with some activity monitoring and some projects. And that's my current job haha. I'd like to be more on a macro level though, whereas I do a lot of micro rn.

But tbh, what's most important for me is to work with people you like to work with. You can cope with a job that's mostly uninteresting and ungratifying if your coworkers and boss are cool. And so far, it's mostly been the case for me. My current coworkers are mostly meh and annoying, but never mean or whatever, and I get on like a house on fire with my boss and her deputy, and that's enough for me.

une partie de la montazac family ( j’ai eu la paresse de dessiner un design pour Fab :( ) qui prend un bain de soleil, les croutes arrivent pas à rester tranquille. Du marcelliam tout soft et une petite Haylie qui chasse :3

Tout ces magnifique designs sont de @mllenugget !!!

[pikmininaplane]

Du coup si tu veux varier un peu 👀

Est ce que ça te dit de répondre à l'ask game au sujet de MT et/ou Lenny ?

(attention faut pas hésiter à me mettre un stop parce que je vais demander tout le cast)

(referring to this ask game)

😭 I mean, moi je veux bien faire tout le cast, hein, suffit de demander /hj

MT

Sexuality Headcanon : Aroace ou arogay <3 C'est pas pour rien qu'il aime le vert ce saligaud /j

Gender Headcanon : Homme cis I guess ?

A ship I have with said character : Classique mais efficace, le LT X) Mais je suis ouverte à la possibilité du Boid/MT..... wink wink, tousse tousse, oui je vais la lire cette fic je l'jure

A BROTP I have with said character : Ça sort peut-être un peu de nulle part, mais Béa ! Enfin, j'HC que Béa est très pote avec tous les Families, mais en particulier avec MT – les personnalités opposées qui pourtant s'entendent bien, tout ça...

A NOTP I have with said character : J'en ai aucun qui me vienne en tête j'avoue... ? Peut-être avec Yann, et encore...

A random headcanon : Quand il se retrouve à faire une tâche seul, parfois, il chantonne à voix basse. Mais si Thomas vous affirme qu’il l’a entendu, sachez que c’est un menteur et qu’il n’a aucune preuve >:(

General Opinion over said character : Très très cool :] Intimidant depuis les autres POVs, hilarant depuis ceux des Families, il méritait son vert pomme 🫵

Lenny

Sexuality Headcanon : Gay, parfois aro, selon mon humeur :3c

Gender Headcanon : Homme cis

A ship I have with said character : Bien entendu comme ont pu le prouver nos échanges je suis extrêmement normale au sujet du Donalenny. Bien sûr.

A BROTP I have with said character : Haylie. Mlm-wlw solidarity <3

A NOTP I have with said character : Oooh, top 10 des phrases que je ne dirais pas sur le serveur, numéro 4 : je suis. Pas fan du Lenneth en vrai X) Après je les ai pas tant vus que ça, mais le peu que j’en ai vu m’a paaas spécialement donné envie. Est-ce que c’est au rang de NOTP ? Peut-être pas, mais 😔

A random headcanon : De temps en temps, il va voir Matéo et lui dit qu’ils ont une mission super importante à accomplir rien que tout les deux ; en réalité, c’est surtout une excuse pour s’éloigner du chaos qu’est être le chef des Vagos. Ils ne font rien de vraiment important, ils traînent en ville, se prennent à manger et se posent quelques part. Ils le faisaient surtout quand Matéo était plus jeune - maintenant, Lenny est plus occupé, et Matéo refuse parfois de venir parce qu’il trouve que Lenny l’infantilise trop, mais s’il a du mal à l’admettre, il apprécie quand même ces moments.

General Opinion over said character : Je veux voir sa POV en fait c’est un besoin. Un de mes persos préférés de RPZ, et pas seulement à cause de son chapeau <3 Donnez un peu de repos à ce pauvre homme enfin 😔

[manglechan1204]

Joséphine pour le blorbo ?

Let's go un peu de RPZ avec notre chère Joséphine !

De ce ask game !

Sexuality Headcanon: Hétéro peut être ace !

Gender Headcanon: Femme cis ( ouais je sais on dors, mais pour ma défense je l'imagine bien comme ce genre de parents qui ne sont pas du tout familiers avec tout ca, mais qui essayent de s'y intéresser et de comprendre, notamment elle avec les Croutes ( trans Croutes my beloveds <3 )

A ship I have with said character: Ok c'est la que ma méconnaissance du personnage rentre en jeu, je n'ai pas vraiment de ship ^^'

A BROTP I have with said character: Joséphine et Tim !! ( Dites moi y'a un nom de duo avec un jeu de mot religieux douteux pour ces 2 la. ) Ca me fait rire de les voir ensemble réunis pour prêcher la bonne foi et imaginer leurs relations aller au dela de juste leurs interêts commun

A NOTP I have with said character: Pas vraiment un notp mais je suis pas la plus grande fan de Joséphine x Bénard ( ET ENCORE ! Au final le contraste entre ces deux là me fait beaucoup rire ! peut être du coup plus en bon pote malgrès leurs différences 🤔)

A random headcanon: Honnêtement j’en ai pas.. ( Même si du coup le Bernard et elle en amis m’intrigue … )

General Opinion over said character: Ca a l’air d’être une gentille dame qui n’a que de bonne attention pour son entourage même si des fois elle peut avoir l’air fermé d’esprit du à ses croyances. En plus d’avoir un passé assez sombre, genre elle a tué son mari ? ( Je suis vraiment pas sur ). Du coup je sais pas si je préfère la version ou elle l’a tué en mode badass vu que dans mon souvenir y’a ce côté un peu blague quand le sujet viens, ou bien une version plus dramatique de cette histoire…

Pixel art post !!! Antoine Croute + Daniel Croute

I forgot how posting on tumblr works LMAO So it's just a quick test because it's been years since the last time I posted something on here (I swear I used to have posts on here, I just deleted them because it was very old stuff XD). I actually need to publish and talk about my OC. It will happen at some point, I promise xD Not right now right now, but it will happen !! But for the time being, just enjoy these two pixel art of Antoine Croute and Daniel Croute from RPZ, a french GTA RP that happened in 2021. I watched the Croute POV recently and I enjoyed it so much. Now I need to watch tons of other POVs XD But I cherish so much the found family of the vineyard domain of Montazac. But I do enjoy the angsty stuff about them as well...... So much potential in AUs and stuff, aaaaaah. Like what if Cox successfully manipulated Antoine and/or Daniel ? Either making them not trust Donatien anymore or just joining Cox gang ? What if Cox really killed Donatien ? What if Donatien chose to kill one of the cousins in the final confrontation... ? (That one Daniel clip talking about how he was thinking that Donatien would have chosen to kill him instead of Antoine when Cox tried to force Donatien to "chose a favorite" made me feel so bad, that's where this angsty though of an AU came frome) So much things, so much things to think about... I will forever be a fluff and angst enjoyer, these are both parts of me. I can't enjoy fluff without imagining angst. Some of their episodes were mine of potential angst AUs anyways. But I swear I do enjoy the fluff and how their little story ended. It was very sweet. As I said, vineyard domain family is my current biggest hyperfixation x) Anyways, here are the two pixel arts of Antoine and Daniel ! :D

Expert Letting Tips in a Regulated Market – Maximising Rental Income in Dublin

Dublin’s rental market has experienced significant changes in recent years, driven by a combination of increasing demand for housing and regulatory adjustments aimed at ensuring fair rental practices. With the city’s vibrant economy attracting a diverse population, landlords find themselves navigating a complex landscape that includes rent caps and pressure zones. In this regulated environment, seeking expert advice becomes essential for landlords aiming to maximise their rental income while remaining compliant with the law. Understanding the nuances of this market can empower property owners to make informed decisions, optimise their rental strategies, and ultimately enhance their profitability.

Understanding Dublin’s Property Landscape

Current Rental Market Trends

The Dublin rental market is characterised by fluctuating demand, influenced by factors such as economic growth and demographic shifts. Recent data indicates a steady increase in rental prices, contributing to a competitive landscape where landlords must strategically position their properties to attract tenants. Moreover, the introduction of new regulations has prompted many landlords to adapt their strategies, ensuring compliance while maximising returns. Trends such as the rise of remote work have also shifted interest to suburban areas, leading to evolving demands for different types of rental properties.

Popular Residential Areas and Their Rental Potential

Certain areas in Dublin have emerged as hotspots for rental properties, each offering unique features that appeal to various demographics. Areas like Dublin 4 and Dublin 2 are known for their proximity to the city centre, attracting young professionals and expatriates willing to pay a premium for convenience and lifestyle amenities. Conversely, neighbourhoods such as Dublin 15 and Raheny offer a more family-oriented environment with access to green spaces, schools, and community services. Understanding the dynamics of these areas is crucial for landlords aiming to capitalise on rental potential while meeting tenant needs.

Navigating Rent Pressure Zones and Rent Caps

Explanation of Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs)

Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs) are designated areas within Dublin where rental increases are regulated to protect tenants from excessive rent hikes. Introduced as part of the Residential Tenancies Act, RPZs are defined based on specific criteria, including the existing rental prices and the level of rent increase. In these zones, landlords are restricted to raising rents within a set percentage limit, which aims to curb the continuous rise in rental prices and ensure affordability for residents. Understanding the boundaries and regulations of RPZs is vital for landlords in order to remain compliant and make informed rental decisions.

Understanding Rent Caps and Their Implications

The rent caps within RPZs are determined by the Annual Rent Increase (ARI), which is set by legislative guidelines. This cap limits how much landlords can increase rent each year, currently pegged to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 2%. For landlords, this means that while they can seek to maximise rental income, they must navigate the constraints imposed by these caps. Failure to comply with rent regulations can lead to penalties, making it essential for property owners to keep abreast of changes to the law and any adjustments to the ARI.

Legal Ways to Adjust Rent Within RPZs

Despite the constraints of rent caps, there are legal avenues available for landlords to adjust rent within RPZs. One method includes justifying increases by demonstrating improvements made to the property that enhance its value or tenant experience, such as renovations or upgrades to utilities. Additionally, landlords may apply for a rent review if they believe that the current rent is significantly below the market rate due to unique circumstances or changes in the local market dynamics. It is crucial, however, to follow the proper processes and documentation requirements established by the Residential Tenancies Board to ensure any adjustments are lawful and justifiable.

Maximising Rental Income in a Regulated Market

Strategies for Setting Competitive Yet Compliant Rental Prices

To maximise rental income while adhering to the regulations, landlords must conduct thorough market research to understand the pricing dynamics in their area. One effective strategy is to regularly analyse comparable properties to gauge competitive rental rates. This allows landlords to set prices that are attractive to prospective tenants while remaining within the legal limits imposed by rent caps. Additionally, offering flexible lease terms or including utilities in the rental price can enhance the property’s appeal, making it easier to justify pricing within the regulated limits.

Tips for Property Upgrades to Justify Rent Increases

Upgrading a rental property is an essential tactic for justifying rent increases within Rent Pressure Zones. Focus on improvements that directly enhance tenant satisfaction and property value, such as modernising kitchens and bathrooms, enhancing energy efficiency, or providing high-speed internet access. Minor upgrades, like fresh paint or new flooring, can significantly elevate the aesthetic appeal without massive costs. Furthermore, obtaining necessary permits and keeping comprehensive documentation of all improvements is vital, as these records can support rent adjustments when applying for a review or addressing tenant inquiries.

Understanding Allowable Expenses and Tax Deductions

Key Allowable Expenses for Landlords

Landlords in Dublin can benefit from a range of allowable expenses that can be deducted from their taxable income. These expenses typically include mortgage interest, property management fees, maintenance and repairs, insurance premiums, and any specific costs related to advertising for new tenants. Additionally, costs associated with professional services, such as legal advice and accounting, may also be claimed as allowable deductions. Understanding these expenses is crucial for optimising tax positions and ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

Tax Deductions Related to Property Improvements

While many improvements to rental properties can enhance their value, not all improvements are immediately deductible. Landlords should be aware that expenses incurred for substantial improvements—those that increase the property’s overall value or extend its lifespan—may need to be capitalised and depreciated over time rather than deducted in the year they are incurred. Keeping detailed records of all expenses, including receipts and invoices, is essential for accurate reporting and to maximise potential deductions at tax time. Additionally, consulting with a tax professional can provide tailored guidance based on individual circumstances and the latest tax laws.

Renting Out Your Property: Insights from Letting Agents

The Role of Letting Agents in the Current Market

Letting agents play a pivotal role in streamlining the rental process for both landlords and tenants in today’s regulated market. They possess in-depth knowledge of the local rental landscape, guiding landlords through compliance with regulations such as RPZs and rent caps. Additionally, letting agents provide valuable insights into market trends, helping property owners set competitive rental prices and maximise their rental income potential. By handling marketing, tenant inquiries, and lease negotiations, letting agents free up landlords to focus on other aspects of property management.

Finding and Screening Reliable Tenants

One of the most crucial responsibilities of letting agents is to find and screen reliable tenants. They employ a thorough vetting process that typically includes credit checks, employment verification, and references from previous landlords. This helps ensure that prospective tenants have a solid financial background and a history of responsible tenancy. Furthermore, effective communication throughout this process builds a trusting relationship between the agent and both the landlord and tenant, ensuring a smoother rental experience.

Tips for Creating Attractive Rental Listings

Crafting an appealing rental listing is essential for attracting prospective tenants. Start with high-quality images that showcase the property’s best features, such as spacious interiors or modern amenities. A well-written description should highlight unique selling points, such as proximity to public transport or local attractions. Including specific details, such as the number of bedrooms, available appliances, and any included utilities, can help set clear expectations. Additionally, consider promoting flexible lease terms or incentives like discounted first-month rent to make your listing stand out in a competitive market.

Working with a Letting Agent

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Estate Agent

Partnering with a letting agent can significantly ease the burdens of property management. Professional agents bring valuable expertise and resources, ensuring compliance with local regulations and market standards, which can save landlords both time and potential legal challenges. They are equipped to handle tenant communications, property marketing, and maintenance issues swiftly and efficiently, leading to reduced vacancy periods and maximised rental returns. Moreover, letting agents typically have access to broader networks, enabling them to find reliable tenants more quickly than an individual landlord might.

How to Choose the Right Letting Agent

Selecting the right letting agent is crucial for a successful rental experience. Begin by researching local agents and reviewing their credentials, including accreditations and client reviews. It’s important to consider their experience and specialisation in your property type or location. Schedule consultations with potential agents to gauge their communication style, market knowledge, and willingness to address your specific needs. Always ask about their fee structure and services offered to ensure alignment with your expectations and budget.

What to Expect from Your Dublin Estate Agent

When working with a letting agent, landlords can expect a variety of essential services. These may include comprehensive market analysis to set competitive rental prices, marketing the property effectively across multiple platforms, and conducting meticulous tenant screenings to ensure high-quality applicants. Agents should also provide ongoing management support, including regular property inspections and maintenance coordination, as well as financial reporting to keep landlords informed about income and expenses. Furthermore, a reliable letting agent will communicate openly and promptly, fostering a strong working relationship to enhance the overall rental experience.

Conclusion

In summary, successfully letting a property involves understanding tax deductions related to allowable expenses and property improvements, as well as leveraging the expertise of letting agents. Effective marketing, tenant screening, and compliance with local regulations are crucial for optimising rental income and minimising risks. We encourage landlords to seek expert advice, ensuring they navigate the complexities of property management with confidence. For tailored support and guidance through your letting journey, contact Howley Souhan today for personalised assistance.
