[takadanobaba]

If you don't mind me making another long post, I'll talk about the current view I had for a part 2 and the what I thought of the characters first thought of the twins. Feel free to correct anything I miss interpretate, we currently don't have too much about the town's folks individual options on the twins and their Pokémon.

I sorted the town's folks into categories based on their opinion on Pokémon instead of the twins themselves but quite a few probably would be cut from the actual chapter unless I made a part 3

Likes Pokémon:

Jas, Vincent, Evelyn, George, Wizard

(George likes Pokémon but doesn't appear to, kinda like the dog owner who insults their dog but still gives it a treat. He might like their Pokémon but he doesn't like the twins because he doesn't want them to mess up the train station.)

Lukewarm about Pokémon:

Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Emily, Leah, Maru, Penny, Caroline, Clint, Gil, Gunther, Linus, Marlon, Marnie, Robin, Willy

(Alex, Elliott, Emily, Maru and Penny are all scared of Pokémon but think they're interest/cool but will observe from a safe distance. Penny is the most scared but also most intrigued)

(Harvey, Leah, Caroline, Linus, Marnie and Willy are scared of Pokémon but have more a neutral option of them and see they more like unprodicatable animals. Harvey favours Klinklang since its the least dangerous looking (and I like to think the Klink line is associated with anything with mechanics like the air force). Linus has mixed feelings about Garbodor, he feels a kinship since they're outcast but has a dislike since she might steal his dinner.)

(Clint, Gil, Gunther, Marlon and Robin are scared of Pokémon but aware that they can be tamed and are often used in their jobs outside of Stardew. Clint would like Boldore. Robin would like Gurdurr. Gunther is aware of fossil Pokémon.)

Plain fear of Pokémon:

Sam, Sebastian, Abigail, Hailey, Gus, Jodi, Lewis

(Sam, Sebastian and Lewis try not to show their fear but would run away if a Pokémon got too close.)

Hostility towards Pokémon:

Shane, Demetrius, Kent, Pam, Pierre

(All hostility mainly stems from parental overprotectiveness but witha small. Since Pam was the original bus driver, she possibly had seen some Pokémon battles outside of Stardew and seen how strong they could get. Kent is probably the only one to never fully like Pokémon.)

HI! Doctorsparkle here! Takadanobaba showed me your ask and well ... he is letting me take the stage on this main replay! I got to say tho Kraken! You are on the right tracks! I have to say you are amazing for paying attention to so many details and nuggets we have placed throughout various posts!

Your fanfic based on the mod is amazing as well and we are glad for all the ideas you have thrown at us. It really helps us when we are stumped.

Few things about some characters.

George - George’s relationship with Submas Twins is - Tolerating their presence.

Ingo and Emmet have a good relation with their wife, Evelyn, and they know that Evelyn adores Pokémon. (He knew she had one, as did he... when they where in their younger years before Stardew got rid of them. Evelyn had a Bellosom. While George problem had a a Crab-Related Pokemon. Like Krabby or Dwebble, really family Pokémon. They weren't trainers, just average folk.)

And since they have a good relation with the wife, well, you know the saying, happy wife. Happy life. As for his views on the train station.. he really doesn’t care… simply due to his age, him being wheelchair bound... and there has been dialogue related to him how he isn’t religious but since he is up there in age he preys to Yoba. (To which I can relate to, George and Evelyn as characters based on my own personal experiences with older family members.)

So really he doesn’t like the twins but as long as his wife is happy and the Pokémon are nice. He doesn’t care what they do… He's probably glad to have some form of company.

Harvey - Harvey is most definitely going to like Klinklang, however, he still views it as dangerous. Every Pokémon the Submas twins has is dangerous in their own way…. For Klinklang tho… well... giant spinning gears. And moving parts. If anyone who has worked with heavy equipment or machinery. Gears and sharp can be dangerous. Get your clothing stuck in there and well— RIP your arm or leg. Or your favorite outfit. He will still be wary and cautious about all moving parts on a Pokémon. Organic or Mechanical. Hence why he harps on the twins about their health more than anything. It's a hate-love relationship. Think of a nagging parent. He doesn’t outright dislike Pokémon but he just can’t turn off his doctor brain. Ya know?

Views on Job Related Pokemon

(Robin, Clint, etc) - LOVE THIS TO BITS! However, do keep in mind that Stardew Valley is isolated… it is a separate region. So, unless you're someone like Pam who travel across Stardew Valley. You're not going to see a Pokemon. Or a Pokemon Battle. I bet you no one even knows what a Pokemon Battle is.

I think they would learn about how Pokemon can help them with their own professions through casual talks with the Submas Twins when they have to say ask Robin for a commission or head down to Clint's to get some metal work done. The knowledge of Pokémon is lacking…. Which feeds into the fear and stigmatization of them. Knowledge is power. The government will most likely be censoring Pokémon related media... except for a few things that fall through the cracks like fashion magazines.

Which we’ll segway into… Hailey and Emily - They will most definitely fear Pokémon, however, we have some plans for the two with Elesa! They will know a little bit about Pokémon but only through fashion magazines. So think cute Pokémon like Happiny or Pachirisu. Anything bigger then a cat… forget it. They will be terrified of all of Submas Pokémon but over time it’ll dull down… they’ll still be jumpy but its not an outright dislike. Just... they prefer to see them from afar or in fashionable clothing in a book or magazine.

Gus - Definitely a fear of Pokemon... however! There are some exceptions. Joltik. And Garbador. Joltik I won’t go into details just yet, but one shows up in an event where Gus is. Garbador tho, think of Linus. Gus will most likely think of Garbador like Linus… so he isn’t scared of them. Plus. They keep the trash clean… so no raccoons or rats near the establishment. Lol. He'd be happy that no food/trash would go to waste and they make less of a mess than the other scavengers, so it's better to have it go to them.

Demetrius - Now he is a complicated one. I would say yes to hating Pokémon HOWEVER, there is definitely some character growth and development with him simply due to how Maru interacts with Pokémon and how much Stardew Valley is changing.

There is dialogue about Demetrius saying it's better that Stardew Valley- or this case the Ferngill Republic- is isolated. He could hate the Pokémon and dislike the twins at first because they are breaking the norm.

Maru, on the other hand, is absolutely fascinated about the changes. Scared and wary, but in awe of the Pokémon. The scientist in her is wanting to challenge the norm, while Demetrius is conservative and stuck in his ways… we’re also not a 100% concrete on this concept yet due to needing to double check dialogue and how his personality is in game but for Demetrius definitely a character development kinda guy.

As for how Stardew Valley relates globally with the Pokémon world stuff, I have been going off of the Setting article on this Wiki here

It shows a very pixel crude map of Ferngill Republic and Gotoro Empire. They are both continents or in this case regions.

You can’t drive to Ferngill Republic through Unova or any other Pokémon region. Only way to get there is by flight and then travel by bus. However when the train-station is up and running there will be Surfliner Routes, theoretical underwater train lines, or a giant bridge.

In Black and White and Black and White 2 there are the Wifi-Lines. I believe these to be international lines that connect to other regions. So, say for example, a train from Kalos deciding to go to Unova via this Wifi-Line or the Cyan Line. etc. etc. since Stardew Valley and Ferngill Republic has been isolated, banned on Pokémon etc. Passenger lines cannot travel on these train lines… also with the state of the station in Stardew, it probably isn't the best either.

The Ferngill Republic, however, conducts Agricultural and Economic trade with the other regions. Tomatos, meat, etc. due to possibly how taboo it is in some regions to kill and to eat Pokémon. Even though Magikarp and Slowpoke Tails might be a delicacy... the culture surrounding Pokémon as being our friends, family, partners in life... well you wouldn't want to murder Mr. Mittens now would you. That wouldn't sit right with some people.

So with the train station being rebuilt, expect a lot more economical benefits etc. and trade.

Hope this least clears up some things but also.. I just info-dumped like Ingo LOLOL. Aaaaaah…. Theres definitely a lot more I can write. Guess you can say… i’m like Lore Keeper Dani from Criticalrole. Anyway! Hope you enjoy this long reply to chew on!

Ibizaversary 2 - Parliament bogaloo

Wollte ich diesen Post eigentlich am 17. Mai machen? Ja. Hab ich vor gehabt ihn am 18. Mai zu posten als sich das am 17. nicht mehr ausgegangen ist? Ebenfalls ja. Sind mittlerweile 5 Tage vergangen und ich hab's immer noch nicht gepostet? 100%

Nun gut, da das Ganze jetzt schon vor 2 Jahren passiert ist und wir seitdem sowieso jedes Konzept von Zeit verloren haben, glaube ich das ist trotzdem okay.

And before you ask, I also do not know why I keep doing this. Es ist eine gute Fingerübung und ich habe Freunde die mir gerne solche Ideen bringen, also was bleibt mir anderes übrig als weiterhin die sexual und emotional exploits unserer lieben Politiker aufs Papier zu bringen?

Um der Tradition treu zu bleiben, tagge ich hier ein paar der anderen Ritter der fragwürdigen Tafelrunde: @snowstuckytrail @the-sturz-must-go-on @daddykurz @hc-strache-ontherun @not-the-real-norbert-hofer @the-real-daddy-van-der-bellen - Happy (belated) Ibizaversary!

Without further ado, enjoy Kümel!

Bettgeflüster – A Kümel Story

16.05.2021 – 23:54

„Oh, Basti, du bist wunderbar.“, begleitet von diesen Worten, rollte sich der Bundeskanzler von seinem Liebhaber, bis er schwer atmend auf seinem Rücken zum Liegen kam. Ohne groß darüber nachzudenken streckte er seine Hand nach dem Mann neben ihm aus und streichelte über dessen nackten Arm. Er fühlte das Muskelspiel des anderen, als dieser eine Hand hob um die seine zu umschließen. Die Vertrautheit der Geste zauberte ein Lächeln auf seine Lippen. Vor nur einem Jahr wäre das undenkbar gewesen, doch nun wüsste er nicht mehr was er ohne diese leisen Zuwendungen tun würde. Jeder Tag war von Stress geprägt, Fallzahlen, wenn es um Corona geht, Einzelfälle, wenn es um seine Minister geht, es war für einen einzelnen Menschen kaum zumutbar. Er brauchte einen Ausgleich, einen Safe Space, und genau deshalb lag sein Fels in der Brandung in diesem Moment neben ihm und hielt seine Hand, half ihm dabei sich wie ein Mensch zu fühlen und nicht unter den Ansprüchen einer Nation im Ausnahmezustand zu zerbröckeln. Seine Jünger, ähm, Anhänger, natürlich, brauchten ihn, als ihren stoischen Führer, als den blutjungen Politiker, der vor Charisma und Charme nur so sprühte. Er konnte es sich nicht erlauben Schwäche zu zeigen, vor allem nicht in der Öffentlichkeit.

Der junge Sebastian verlor sich ganz und gar in seinen Gedanken, bis eine Stimme ihn ins hier und jetzt zurückholte: „Sebastian, worüber zerbrichst du dir jetzt schon wieder deinen hübschen Kopf?“ Ganz unkanzlerhaft antwortete er mit: „Nix, mein Schatz, über absolut gar nix.“ Sie wussten beide, dass das gelogen war, doch er kannte Sebastian gut genug um nicht gleich nachzuhaken. Einige Stille Momente verstrichen und des Jüngeren Blick fiel auf die rot leuchtende digitale Anzeige eines Weckers, der am Nachttisch stand.

17.05.2021 – 00:00

Ohne es kommen gesehen zu haben, wusch plötzlich eine Welle an Emotion über den jungen Kanzler. Er brauchte einen Augenblick um das Gefühl zuzuordnen, doch es fühlte sich so bitter vertraut an. Es war das dumpfe Pochen einer Wunde, die er längst verheilt geglaubt hatte, die Erinnerung an einen Schmerz, der ihm vor zwei Jahren den Atem geraubt hatte und ihn in einer Hülle seines Selbst verwandelt hatte. Bevor er es verhindern konnte, quollen Tränen in seinen Augen auf, die er versuchte wegzublinzeln. Gerade als er glaubte seine Gefühle gut genug im Griff zu haben um den Mann neben ihm nicht zu beunruhigen, drehte dieser sich zu ihm und sah ihn mit besorgter Miene an. „Was liegt dir auf dem Herzen? Du weißt du kannst mit mir über alles reden, das ist Teil unseres Deals“, sagte er als er eine Hand auf Bastis Wange legte. Er wollte antworten, doch der Kloß in seinem Hals hinderte ihn daran, also schüttelte er nur sanft seinen Kopf. Es war eines der Themen, das der jugendhafte Politiker nur allzu ungern ansprach, vor allem in Gegenwart seines Finanzministers, Gernot Blümel, dem in diesem Moment klar wurde, worum es ging.

„Du denkst an ihn“, stellte der ältere der beiden trocken fest, „Jahrestag.“ Trotz des offensichtlichen Versuchs nicht zu kalt zu klingen, konnte Gernot die Galle in seinen Worten nicht gänzlich verbergen.

Zwei Jahre war es nun her, dass das berüchtigte Ibiza Video, mit dem ehemalige Vizekanzler und auserkorenen Clown der Nation HC Strache in der Hauptrolle veröffentlicht worden war, siebenhunderteinunddreißig Tage seit dem Beginn vom Ende der Koalition Türkis-Blau I. Das hieß auch, dass Sebastian Kurz vor genau siebenhundertdreißig Tagen die schwerste Entscheidung seines Lebens getroffen hatte.

Die Züge des Kanzlers verhärteten und der Finanzminister ließ sich auf seinen Rücken fallen. „Ich kann immer noch nicht glauben, dass du mich für einen Blauen verlassen hast, noch dazu für den Heinz-Christian. Du…“, doch weiter kam Gernot nicht, denn er wurde scharf von seinem Basti unterbrochen: „Willst du mir das ewig vorhalten? Weißt du, Gernot, du brauchst gar nicht so zu tun als hättest du nicht das Gleiche getan. Es war eine Gelegenheit, die ich ergriffen habe und es liegt in der Vergangenheit. Und ‚verlassen‘ ist wirklich ein grobes Wort. Was haben wir schon groß gemacht, außer miteinander schlafen. Außerdem hast du deshalb einen Ministerposten gekriegt, ich weiß wirklich nicht was du willst.“

„Geghosted, verlassen, was macht’s schon für einen Unterschied, alleine dastehen hast du mich lassen, und das komplett ohne Erklärung. Und du kannst dir nicht einmal eingestehen, dass was passiert ist, so vorhersehbar war, dass du was passiert ist sehen kommen hättest müssen“, echauffierte sich der Finanzminister mit abgeschlossenem Philosophiestudium. Anstelle einer Antwort hört er ein unterdrücktes Schluchzen. So sehr er auch hart bleiben wollte, wenn Sebastian weinte, konnte Gernot nicht böse bleiben, also drehte er sich zu seinem Schatz, streckte die Hand nach ihm aus um ihn zu beruhigen und sagte: „Ach, Sebastian, wein doch jetzt bitte nicht, du weißt doch, dass ich das nicht so gemeint…“, doch bevor er ausreden konnte, war der Kanzler aus dem Bett aufgesprungen und schloss sich ins Badezimmer ein.

17.05.2021 – 00:29

„Sebastian, Basti, mein Bastiboy, mach doch wenigstens die Tür auf. Ich mach mir Sorgen, du bist jetzt schon fast zwanzig Minuten da drin“, versuchte es der noch-Finanzminister erneut, doch wieder kam keine Antwort. Indessen lag der junge ÖVP-Zögling in Embryonalstellung am beheizten Fliesenboden des Badezimmers und weinte stille Tränen. Gernot hatte kein Recht ihm solche Vorwürfe zu machen, kein Recht ihm die Schuld in die Schuhe zu ziehen.

Ja, Sebastian hatte ein paar Anrufe und SMS von Gernot ignoriert, als er mit Heinz-Christian zusammen war, doch „verlassen“ war doch wirklich was anderes. Er hatte sich Hals über Kopf in den Parteichef der FPÖ verliebt, das war doch nicht seine Schuld! Der Mann war in beinahe unbegrenztem Maße charismatisch und er war so unglaublich schön, auf seine ganz eigene, unkonventionelle Art und Weise. Und der Sex, oh Gott, der Sex war unglaublich.

Doch all das erblasste im Schatten des Betrugs, des Verrats, für den dieser Mann verantwortlich war. Sebastian hatte einen Schlussstrich gezogen und er hatte sich eingeredet er wäre darüber hinweg, doch anscheinend waren auch zwei Jahre nicht genug, vor allem wenn sein neuer alter Liebhaber das Thema im Bett anschneidet. Und jetzt konnte Gernot so viel an die Tür klopfen, wie er wollte, Sebastian blieb stur.

Schlussendlich gab sich der ältere der beiden geschlagen und sank mit seinem Rücken zur Tür zu Boden und legte seinen Kopf in seine Hände. Wieso war Sebastian nur so stur? Natürlich war nichts an dieser Situation einfach. Der Ibiza Skandal vor zwei Jahren war nur der Anfang einer Kaskade an Katastrophen. Vom Misstrauensantrag über die Pandemie bis hin zu Skandalen um Regierungsmitglieder, Gernot selbst eingeschlossen, keine dieser Dinge machten Sebastians Leben auch nur irgendwie leichter und der Finanzminister wollte nichts mehr als das.

Nach weiteren fünf Minuten Stille begann Gernot Blümel zu singen.

17.05.2021 – 00:40

„You are my fire“

Zuerst war seine Stimme nur zaghaft zu hören, sodass Sebastian sich nicht sicher war, ob er sich nicht verhört hatte, doch mit der nächsten Zeile war jeder Zweifel verloren.

„The one desire“

Das Herz des Kanzlers machte einen kleinen freudigen Sprung. Gernot wusste genau wie er ihm in solchen Situationen helfen musste, deshalb liebte er ihn. Plötzlich wurde ihm klar, dass er ihm das noch gar nie so explizit gesagt hatte.

„Believe, when I say“

Mittlerweile hatte sich Sebastian aus seiner Embryonalstellung aufgerappelt und schob sich in Richtung der Tür. Dort angelangt, stimmte er mit ein.

„I want it that way“

Des Finanzministers Lippen verzogen sich zu einem erleichterten Lächeln, als er die engelsgleiche Stimme seines Liebsten durch die Tür hörte und er setzte enthusiastisch fort.

„Tell me why“

Sebastian zögerte noch die Tür zu öffnen, doch er sang die Echo-Stimme.

„Ain’t nothing but a heartache“

Mit jeder anderen Person würde sich Gernot Blümel in dieser Situation wie ein Trottel fühlen, doch nicht mit seinem Kanzler. Für seinen Kanzler würde er fast alles tun.

„Tell me why“

Der junge Politiker war mittlerweile auf den Beinen, seine Hand lag auf der Klinke, bereit die Tür mit der nächsten Zeile zu öffnen.

„Ain’t nothing but a mistake“

Der plötzliche Verlust der Tür, gegen die er gelehnt war, brachte Gernot beinahe aus dem Gleichgewicht, doch er konnte sich noch fangen. Hoffnungsvoll sah er in das Gesicht seines Herzblatts.

„I never wanna hear you say“

Sein Gesicht war gerötet, die Augen leicht geschwollen, doch sein Blick war voller Liebe. Mit einem schnellen Schritt stand er vor seinem Finanzminister und hockte sich nieder um mit ihm auf Augenhöhe zu sein. Gemeinsam sangen sie den folgenden Vers.

„I want it that way“

Und mit diesen Worten nahm Sebastian das Gesicht seines Gegenübers in die Hände und küsste ihn mit all der Liebe und Hingabe, die er fühlte. Als sich ihre Lippen voneinander lösten und sie sich schwer atmend in die Augen sahen, begannen sie beide zugleich zu sprechen. „Gernot…“ „Basti…“ „Du zuerst, Gernot.“

Der Finanzminister fasste sich ein Herz: „Es tut mir leid, meine Reaktion war nicht gerechtfertigt. Du weißt, dass ich dir nicht wehtun wollte, ich will dir nie wehtun, ich will nur das allerbeste für dich.“ Diese Worte reichten aus um Sebastian den letzten Schubs zu geben und er erwiderte ohne zu zögern: „Oh Gott, Gernot, ich liebe dich“, und zog ihn erneut in einen Kuss.

17.05.2021 – 00:54

Als ob es die letzten sechzig Minuten nicht gegeben hätte, lagen die beiden wieder im Bett, diesmal eng umschlungen und sich innig küssend, sodass Minister Blümel bisher keine Möglichkeit gehabt hatte auf das Liebesgeständnis des Kanzlers zu antworten. Völlig außer Atem, brachte er durch eine Hand auf Bastis Brust etwas Distanz zwischen sie beide und grinste versonnen. „Ich liebe dich auch, Basti.“

Ohne auch nur eine Sekunde zu verlieren, verschmolzen sie wieder zu einer untrennbaren Einheit, geformt von der Welt die um sie in Flammen stand.

2020 Summary of Art

Well, I can't do the traditional "Art of the Year" summary thing since I'm not a visual artist, but I figured, why not do something similar with my writing? A paragraph I worked on or posted during each month. January: Time isn't the only problem, of course, or even the main one. Your powers of telekinesis are pitiful, too—the only thing saving you out on the field currently is your, admittedly, impressive physical strength, but you can't depend on that forever. The best Pushers don't rely on pure brute strength like you do. How can you ever hope to reach the level of your hero, Xultan Matzos, without the mental powers to match? February: It was his picture. That was Ciel's first thought. Then he realized it couldn't be him—the boy in the picture was older, yes, but what drew Ciel's attention was the boy's eyes: both were visible and clear. Which was impossible—the contract showed up in photos, and he was bound to Sebastian until the demon consumed his soul. Looking closer, peering over Dipper's shoulder, Ciel noticed something far more alarming: the part in the boy's hair was opposite to his own. March: Motherfuckin’ paydirt. “He better be happy to see me,” you say, although it’s hard to say whether he actually will be or not. You two are bros, and you get along fairly well when you’re both not going out of your ways to be dicks to each other (ironically!), but he can be unpredictable. You know he isn’t going to like how much danger you’ve put yourself in for his sake. His poor self-hating heart just can’t accept that other people actually give a damn about him. It’d make you cry if you weren’t such a stone cold bad ass. “Where is he?” April: Klink wasn’t sure if he was more amused by this display or infuriated. That the American could sit there and say such ridiculous things with a straight face... Either Hogan was being fanatically naïve, or he thought that Klink was fantastically stupid. His hand clenched around the damp handkerchief. More likely than not, it was the latter. He didn’t know why the thought stung so much—it wasn’t anything he didn’t already know. “Victory?” he echoed, allowing Hogan to hear his scorn for the notion. “You think this,” he threw his hand out to indicate the space around himself, “is a victory?” May: “Well you’re looking older and dumber,” Karkat returned hotly. He didn’t turn his back on the adult human, but he backed up to the door. “You’re not my Dave, and I’m not the Karkat you know, so this must be paradox space fucking with me once again, because the universe loves nothing more than shitting on Karkat Vantas.” June: When Karkat pulls down his pants, Dave finds all thoughts of heat stroke leaving his mind. What the hell... It's a fucking tentacle. It's all Dave can do not to break down in hysterical laughter. Oh God. He gets it: this is a hentai. His life has become a fucking anime. Karkat is the eldritch horror, and he is the Japanese school girl about to get tentacle fucked within an inch of her life. This is his fate. July: "yea like we're peak middle school up in here passing notes to each other," Dave is clearly gearing up for a ramble, and Karkat smiles despite himself, "do you like me or like like me but weve got to keep it on the downlow so the teacher doesnt notice and find our note because our reps will never survive if she reads it to the class and she will because thats how teachers roll" August: Dave is still frowning into the mirror, his hands coming up to trace the lines on his chest. He's muscular, but in a wiry way. Trim like Karkat isn't. Pale in a way that begs for a tan. He's beautiful. Karkat has thought this before, but seeing him like this makes the thought rise up again: Dave is beautiful even if he's glaring at himself in a way which reminds Karkat uncomfortably of similar looks Karkat has directed towards a mirror more than once. September: “That’s not how you say those?” He shrugged, watching with barely contained glee as Karkat’s face darkened. “It’s like I told you, Kitbit, I don’t do that boujee shit.” And now, for the piece of resistance: “I’m just here puttin' in the time, spittin' my rhymes. You know I do this on a dime. It ain't work for me; it's play the way the insults fly, leavin' you with l'esprit de l'escalier when I say goodbye.” Then he lifted up his glasses and winked, enjoying the view of Karkat realizing he’d been being played in full color. October: Karkat’s head is pounding from all the thinking he’s had to do to learn Davuh’s words, but it’s a good pain--the kind of pain that means something is growing stronger. He enjoys the warmth of the human next to him, feeling drowsy. He doesn’t always sleep well… he rarely sleeps well. But it’s different with Davuh there. There’s something in his belly, his head aches, and Davuh is warm. November: It was… Xefros doesn’t have the words to describe it. Joey, going around, treating trolls like… like they were the same as her. Like they would just return her kindness and trust because she gave it to them first. Kind of incredible how often she was right. And then she was wrong. Very wrong. December: “No!” The boy’s anger should be frightening what with his sharp teeth prominently displayed in a snarl, but the combination of the drying, cracking green slime coating and the pure offense in his tone makes his posturing more funny than threatening. “No, you don’t get to break into my hive, drag me out of my recuperacoon, feel me up, make weird ass concuspiant passes at me, *and* tell me I need to *chill*! I am the perfectly sane amount of chill for this situation!” Homestuck features pretty heavily this year :D

Big GIF art show

http://wellnow.wtf/

The Internet – Museums are closed. School is cancelled. The world is shut off and we’re stuck indoors. All the bread has been sold and Twitter has lost its mind. Fox News is killing off its own demographic. While everything is cancelled, why not have a show?

In spite of everything, Silicon Valet is pleased to present Well Now WTF?, an online exhibition curated by Faith Holland, Lorna Mills, and Wade Wallerstein with web design by Kelani Nichole. Featuring over 90 artists with moving image practices, the show will open April 4, 2020 from 5 to 10 pm EST and run indefinitely.

With everything going on, we ask ourselves: Well Now WTF? We have no answer, but we do know how to make GIFs. We can come together and use the creative tools at our disposal to build a space for release outside of anxiety-inducing news cycles and banal social media feeds.

As co-curator Lorna Mills suggests, “Why masturbate alone, when we can all be wankers together?”

Well Now WTF? is as much an art show as a community gathering. Beginning with the opening on April 4 and throughout the exhibition, we will hold online events on the site itself and via Twitch where people can gather and talk as they would normally for a physical exhibition.

The exhibition will also be accompanied by essays by Wade Wallerstein and Seth Watter.

Well Now WTF? will be available online at wellnow.wtf. Join us for the opening party on April 4 via the embedded chatroom.The exhibition will be free and open to the public, with a $5 suggested, pay-what-you-wish entry that gets redistributed to the artists contributing work.

Images from the exhibition are available here. Please credit artists listed in file names when using.

Participating Artists: A Bill Miller, Ad Minoliti, Adrienne Crossman, Alex McLeod, Alice Bucknell, Alma Alloro, Andres Manniste, Anneli Goeller, Anthony Antonellis, Antonio Roberts, Ben Sang, Benjamin Gaulon, Bob Bicknell-Knight, Carla Gannis, Casey Kauffmann, Casey Reas, Cassie McQuater, Chiara Passa, Chris Collins, Cibelle Cavalli Bastos, Claudia Bitran, Claudia Hart, Clusterduck Collective, Daniel Temkin, Devin Kenny & Morgan Green, Don Hanson, Dominic Quagliozzi, Elektra KB, Ellen.Gif, Eltons Kuns, Emilie Gervais, Erica Lapadat-Janzen, Erica Magrey, Erin Gee, Eva Papamargariti, Faith Holland, Guido Segni, Hyo Myoung Kim, Ian Bruner, Jan Robert Leegte, Jenson Leonard, Jeremy Bailey, Jillian McDonald, Kamilia Kard, Kid Xanthrax, LaTurbo Avedon, Laura Gillmore, Laura Hyunjhee Kim, Lauryn Siegel, Libbi Ponce, Lilly Handley, Lorna Mills, LoVid, Mara Oscar Cassiani, Mark Dorf, Mark Klink, Maurice Andresen, Maya Ben David, Molly Erin McCarthy, Molly Soda, Nicolas Sassoon, Nicole Killian, Off Site Project, Olia Svetlanova, Olivia Ross, Pastiche Lumumba, Peter Burr, Petra Cortright, Rafia Santana, Rick Silva, Rita Jiménez, Rosa Menkman, Ryan Kuo, Ryan Trecartin, Santa France, Sara Ludy, Sebastian Schmieg, Shawné Michaelain Holloway, Stacie Ant, Sydney Shavers, Terrell Davis, Theo Triantafyllidis, Tiare Ribeaux, Travess Smalley, Wednesday Kim, Will Pappenheimer, Yidi Tsao, Yoshi Sodeoka, and more to be announced.

To Clemont and Junie's kids, what is your opinion on Pokémon and being trainers?

It was NPC Evening (last week)

Sofia giggled excitedly, cheering as the subject was brought up, “I love all pokemon! From Swannas to Patrats to Purrloins! Even the big ones like mama’s Rhyperior! I’ll be a trainer someday too! And I’ll even have a Rhyhorn to ride like mama used to! We’re going to go so fast!”

Tobias was excited, but took a careful moment to consider his answer, “Pokemon are cool! But the best ones are the fossil ones! I watch mom work in the laboratory all the time! I want to help revive them just like she does! I can be a trainer too... maybe, just that I get some experience and know what I’m doing, but I want to be like mom and grandpa and learn about pokemon that lived thousands of years ago!”

“YANMA AND I ARE READY TO GO ALREADY!” barely even waiting for the question to come his way, Sebastian butt into the conversation, “We’ve watched all of dad’s battles that are on film, back from the gym in Kalos, and now as an Elite Four too! We’re gonna go on a journey that never ends! Meeting more and more new pokemon, catching the biggest, baddest, strongest ones and then taking out the gym leaders in battles so we can make a big name for ourselves in the leagues!”

“Rude of you to just jump in like that...” Cassandra scoffed, taking a deep breath after having to deal with her rowdy brother’s loud voice, “I already have a pokemon. It’s my Klink, and it’s my best friend. I met him in Chargestone Cave with my mom and dad and we got to take him home! But I don’t... really know if I want to be a trainer...” she grew shy turning away, playing with her hands idly, “I... just want to do what papa does and build things. Klink helps a lot with that. I want to make dad proud and build something as revolutionary as he did!”

“Pokemon are great! But I want to know how they work...” Lucas stared with fascination at the Tepig that his mother was feeding, “Like... how do the fire types breath fire... or the water types make so much water! I want to know the answers! Maybe becoming a trainer will explain it... but I feel like I get more answers in my mama’s lab than I do watching league battles on TV...”

“Ever since I met Auntie Elesa, I wanted to train electric pokemon! They’re cute, yellow... fast, all of dad’s are great too!” Alyssa practically glowed with adoration as she spoke about the pokemon type, “I want to talk to Wattson, and Volkner, and Lieu... Lieu...” she fumbled for a moment, “Mr. Surge too! I want to see how all of them train their electric types, and then become a great trainer like dad is! Maybe I can even run an electric gym one day like dad did in Prism Tower!”

6 things to consider for a kitchen breakfast bar

We earn a commission for products purchased through some links in this article.

There are many benefits to having a breakfast bar in the kitchen. As well as creating a communal, welcoming hub, it can be a great space-saving dining option and can offer storage solutions too. To help you make the perfect choice in choosing yours, we’ve compiled a concise, need-to-know buying guide on breakfast bars.

You're reading: 6 things to consider for a kitchen breakfast bar

Breakfast bars are typically incorporated within kitchen islands or peninsula-style layouts to create a laid-back, informal space. But what are the main differences?

A kitchen island is a freestanding unit providing counter and cabinet space, usually in the centre of a large kitchen. As well as providing additional seating (like the Carnegie kitchen at Masterclass Kitchens pictured above), it can be used to place stoves, stovetops, ovens, coffee machines, and even a second sink.

A peninsula is similar to an island but is fixed to at least one wall, so instead of having access to all four sides, you’ll have access to just three sides. Peninsula kitchen designs are ideal for narrow or small kitchens, and helps to transform an L-shaped kitchen layout into a horseshoe or a U-shape.

A breakfast bar can be incorporated within a kitchen island unit or as part of a peninsula. Doubling up a kitchen island as a breakfast bar is a popular option and creates the ultimate social space in the kitchen. But peninsulas can also make handy breakfast bars and this is a common option in smaller kitchens. Alternatively, a cost-effective solution is to buy a freestanding breakfast bar – depending on where you shop and the size you want, you can buy a breakfast bar and stools set from £150 upwards.

See some examples of freestanding breakfast bar sets below:

Whether you are in the middle of a kitchen renovation or simply pondering design ideas for the near future, these breakfast bar ideas will help you consider all the essentials…

Industrial-inspired shaker kitchen at Harvey Jones

Harvey Jones

A breakfast bar can be a long-term dream for many to have in their home. But before you begin on design ideas, ensure you have enough space for it to work.

‘One of the advantages of a breakfast bar is its size. Freestanding breakfast bars take up much less space than a dining table, particularly considering it’s usually styled with stools that will be tucked underneath. If it’s incorporated into an island, there really is no need for a dining table, unless you have the space for it,’ Melissa Klink, Harvey Jones’ Head of Design tells House Beautiful UK.

‘Before investing in a breakfast bar, make sure you choose the right size for your space: a small breakfast bar will look out of place in a large room and will need to be paired with a wider island or a dining table.’

‘The size is really dependant upon the space and architect of the room,’ Brenda Gibson from Tom Howley tells us.

When you’re designing your space, be careful not to simply opt for the biggest breakfast bar. While a larger one may seem better, if it’s too big for your kitchen it will be impractical. Things to ask before specifying a breakfast bar include…

Do you want your main sink or prep sink on the island?

Do you want the hob on the island?

Do you want a clear island free of appliances?

Are you looking to have bar seating?

What storage do you require?

Does a peninsula style work better?

What shape works best with the space and the functional requirements?

2.Think carefully about the dimensions

Dunham kitchen range at Magnet

In the UK, a standard worktop will be around 600mm deep, or 620mm if you have an overhang. If you’re looking to transform your island into a practical breakfast bar, you will want to add at least 300mm to the depth for bar stools.

The average height of a breakfast bar is around 42 inches (107cm), but it’s always recommended to seek the help of a professional to work out exactly the size you need for your kitchen.

‘An island with enough depth underneath the countertop will allow barstools to be tucked discretely beneath to maintain the sleek feel of the island,’ Mor Krishner, Head of Product Design for Caesarstone tells us.

When it comes to a breakfast bar overhang, the standard size for this should be 18 inches to allow for enough leg room.

3. Opt for durable material

A place where many will gather for coffee, meals and endless conversations, you need your breakfast bar to cater for all kinds of occasions. As well as opting for a timeless design you love, it’s vital you choose a resistant, heavy-duty material that will last. Choosing something with a beautiful appearance will simply be a waste of money if it won’t stand the test of time.

‘In terms of materials, breakfast bars need to be durable, hardwearing and easy to clean. Quartz is a beautiful resilient surface – smooth and easy to clean, while also largely scratch and stain resistant,’ says Melissa Klink.

4. Think about its position in the kitchen

‘A well-planned breakfast bar is also important. It can cleverly act as a divider in open plan spaces between living and cooking areas, so think about the shape of your room,’ says Darren Watts, Showroom Development and Design Director at Wren Kitchens. ‘If you’re lucky enough to have a beautiful view in your kitchen, take advantage of it and face your seating towards it.’

When you plan your breakfast bar, think of its purpose. Will it be a place where children sit to eat breakfast, or perhaps where friends gather over coffee and cake, or even as a workspace? Taking these into consideration will help you design the best breakfast bar for your home.

Mark Scott

A kitchen breakfast bar or larger island can work as a dining area and clever place for storage — but remember, you’ll want to ensure the area is well-lit. ‘Lighting should be considered from the very beginning of the planning process,’ Sinead Trainor, Kitchen Category Manager at LochAnna tells us.

‘Cabinets and units should be designed to work around windows to maximise the amount of natural light available. In terms of artificial light, LED flexible strip lighting is a popular option for incorporating mood lighting into a kitchen design and is commonly used along the plinth or on the underside of worktops or breakfast bars. They are a great way to add depth to a room and can easily create a change of atmosphere when required.’

6. Don’t be afraid to mix and match

‘An ongoing trend is using multiple materials for your breakfast bar to create two dedicated areas for practical use and dining,’ says Darren Watts from Wren Kitchens. ‘For illustration, you could use Wren’s Luxury Laminate thick 60mm worktop as a practical area and as contrast, choose the sleek 20mm Xena Quartz in Aspen Ice. It creates a unique and bespoke look.’

Breakfast bars are flexible by nature – there are so many design possibilities that they can fit into almost any space. Whatever size, shape or layout you’re working with, there’s a kitchen breakfast bar for you.

A look at some top Products from the best European Interior Designers

After having a look at some top products from some of the greatest interior designers from the USA, we now turn our focus towards European talents, among them the UK, France, Italy among many other relevant names. Join us into this new journey through some of the best talents in design that this continent has ever seen.

Kelly Hoppen

  The Ottoman bench is one of the highlights of Kelly Hoppen’s career.  It is enormously versatile and works as a perfect footstool or additional seating in any room. The wooden table piece attached also slides across the top adding a further useful function as well.

  Philippe Starck

  Citrus-squeezer in aluminium casting, mirror polished.‎  A truly iconic object and symbol not only of Philippe Starck but of Alessi itself, this citrus squeezer – as revolutionary as it is surprisingly functional – was sketched in its essentials by Starck during a holiday by the sea in Italy, on a pizzeria napkin.‎

  David Chipperfield

The Fayland product family was designed by David Chipperfield in collaboration with the furniture manufacturer e15 and comprises a dining table, a coffee table, a bench, a stool and a sideboard. All items of the family are made from solid wood. The Fayland dining table was originally developed for Fayland House, a residential project in the English countryside. It is essentially a modern and versatile farmhouse table, characterised by the pure use of material coupled with a clear and elegant design.

  Alberto Pinto Studio

  Alberto Pinto Interior Design appropriates the eclectic taste of its international clientele in adjusting its decors to each of their desires all the while adding elegance which creates a balance within such opulence. The main example here is the Tres Ilhas table which is composed of three nesting tables in brown horn marquetry and gilded natural horn fillets.

  Zaha Hadid

  Referencing Zaha Hadid’s design process, with each new project, Zaha Hadid Design (ZHD) continues to examine its significance within the dialogue of contemporary design. ZHD interprets both the present and the future, by continuing to share Hadid’s story with the public, as it did at the latest edition of Maison et Objet, where the brand showcased its latest collection featuring innovative trays.

Jean Nouvel

  Designed for the fit-out of the Foundation Cartier offices in Paris, the Less range has become a major reference in the history of contemporary design. Jean Nouvel wanted to add a sympathetic furniture range to the architecture of the Foundation Cartier, which is distinguished by its transparency and dematerialisation, and so he proposed a silent furniture system that’s simply elegant, free of any rhetorical flourishes.

  Álvaro Siza Vieira

  The extraordinary thing about the Flamingo cannot be appreciated in photographs, nor even in detailed design plans.‎ What distinguishes it from any other lamp is its use.‎ Its unusual height, the quality of its light, the neutrality and apparent fragility of its variable and detachable structure, the mobility of its very delicate wings, all allow for unsuspected uses.‎

Karim Rashid

  The Voxel Chair is a minimal, simple yet voluminous stackable chair that is faceted just in the perfect places for comfort, just in the right angles for hyper-strength, imbuing the correct creases for beauty, and just the few merging and converging lines for purity.

  Patricia Urquiola

  One of the best design accomplishments by Patricia Urquiola is the Fjord chairs. This chair becomes an armchair and then stool. Its broken form and abstract concept together become an object of design: smooth lines that support and envelop are picked out in decorative stitching in harmony with the essence of the chair’s structure.

  Antonio Citterio

  The acclaimed designer Antonio Citterio has launched an outdoor collection in partnership with B&B Italia. Featuring a textile design inspired by traditional South American fabrics, Ribes is a flexible new outdoor seating system that can be customized to different settings and tastes.

  Marcel Wanders

  Extraordinary iconic furniture, lighting and home accessories define the pieces by Moooi. These versatile works are eclectic, playful, surreal and explore the complete scope of Marcel Wanders’ signature design, especially the Rocking Chair. Marcel Wanders envisions and creates a giant rocking O-shaped seat with an identity of its own.‎ As big as a person and available in various elegant colour nuances, it rocks!

  Piet Boon

  Inspired by the shape of the iconic Piet Boon KLINK side table, the OLLE designer furniture series is infused with the same non-geometric contour. The generous proportioned OLLE dining-and more accessible bistro table is the first table design to not have a head to the table, enabling users to sit intuitively and making everyone equally important.

Recycling, Vol. 2, Pages 21: Materials Stock of the Civilian Aircraft Fleet

Recycling, Vol. 2, Pages 21: Materials Stock of the Civilian Aircraft Fleet

Recycling doi: 10.3390/recycling2040021

Authors: Jrg Woidasky Christian Klinke Sebastian Jeanvr

Currently, about 25,500 large commercial aircraft are in use for passenger transport or as freighters, or in storage. As of today, the most prevalent metals in aircraft recycling are aluminium, as well as nickel and titanium super alloys, e.g., for the engines. The total fleet weight amounts to about 1.3 million metric tons of materials (not only metals). The aircraft engine material stock alone amounts to about 170,000 metric tons in the entire fleet. In the coming decade, more than 200,000 metric tons of obsolete aircraft structural materials can be expected for recycling. This article aims to quantify this flying stock in more detail.

Wer steht so wirklich auf Anal weiblich od. männlich ? Also Leute, Ladys & Gentleman. Ich habe bereits in vielen Foren gesucht und immer nur zweideutige Antworten erhalten, manche von ihnen sind direkt und sagen ja, ich steh voll auf Anal. Dann gibt es wiederum die andere Gruppe die sagen nein es schmerzt zu sehr. Aber es gibt auch noch die dritte Gruppe die es gerne versuchen wollen, die keine Scheu davor haben, die auch gerne davor reden und während sie darüber reden sich selbst Lust machen dabei. Ich habe bereits viel Analsex mit Frauen praktiziert, die es auch freiwillig ohne zwang versuchten und ihren Spaß dabei hatten. Ich bin der Meinung oder vertrete die Einstellung, der weibliche Körper ist ihre Haut, von oben bis zu den Zehen, sicher sind die Genitalbereiche genauso wichtig, nur um einer Frau so richtig einzuheizen sollte das Vorspiel mit einem Bad mit Ölen, Kerzen, Shampoo und danach eine Ganzkörpermassage und als Getränke ihrer Wahl wie Prosecco oder Tee mit Cognac oder was auch immer sie sich vorstellt. Nach der Massage wird sie sanft ans Bett gefesselt und verwöhnt solange sie es erträgt. Ich würde jetzt gerne eure Meinungen dazu lesen, Wer steht so wirklich auf Anal weiblich od. männlich ? bis dahin liebe Grüße Iyakuum beim lesen erweckt es etwas den eindruck... als ob dies ein gesuch nach entsprechendem personal für solches wäre. *gruebel* kann mich natürlich auch getäuscht haben. beim lesen deiner Frage, stellt man doch schon fest, das du die drei Möglichkeiten, die es geben kann schon beantwortet hast. Dann hättest du das ganze wohl mal besser als Umfrage machen sollen. So etwas soll doch immer freiwillig und ohne Zwang stattfinden. beim lesen erweckt es etwas den eindruck... als ob dies ein gesuch nach entsprechendem personal für solches wäre. Den Eindruck hatte ich auch. Ich lese wohl zu oft die Uni-Zeitung, in der Fußfetischisten, Mollig-Fans und XXL-Würmer sich die Klinke geben... *lol* Anal? Nun, ich frage nie eine Frau danach und doch kommt es immer dazu. Ich bin entweder sehr clever oder eben ziemlich einfühlsam. Oder ich kenne nur Frauen, die sowieso drauf stehen. Oder eine Mischung von all dem... *gg* Wenn man sich Zeit lässt und überlegt, wer da was mitmacht, macht man es auch aufmerksam genug, die Sache mit dem Schmerz zu reduzieren. Und nein, ich habe noch nie zwölf Millionen Teelichter hingestellt, 100 Duftkerzen angezündet und weißen Nebel versprüht. Hilfe! (...) Ungeachtet dessen, es wird wohl beiderlei Geschlecht mitunter Gefallen. Alles eine Frage der persönlichen Vorlieben und Erfahrungen damit. Und wenn man es "richtig" macht (ich definiere das so: es muss v.a. ihr gefallen), dann haben beide davon mitunter ein recht sinnliches Erlebnis. Wobei ich offen gestehe, dass auf die harte Tour habe ich (bislang) noch nicht ausprobiert... *wink* Eine schöne Fantasie. Aber hat mit der Fragestellung ... Wer steht so wirklich auf Anal weiblich od. männlich ? ... nicht wirklich viel zu tun, oder? *zwinker* Frau steht auf Analverkehr, wenn sie den Eindruck hat, dass es mit dem jeweiligen Partner passen könnte und er einfühlsam genug ist, dass es zu einem schönen und nicht *autsch*-Erlebnis wird. Dann gibt es wiederum die andere Gruppe die sagen nein es schmerzt zu sehr. Was ist denn das für eine Gruppe? Ich vermute, du meintest Frauen, habe noch nie gehört, dass Männer anal als zu schmerzhaft empfunden hätten. Kann es sein, dass du selbst davon ausgehst, dass Frauen eigentlich keinen Analsex mögen, man sie aber sanft überreden kann, ganz besonders, wenn man vorher ordentlich Gedöns auffährt? Dann braucht es auch überhaupt keinen Zwang. Frauen, die gern Analsex haben, machen das nicht, um den Männern eine Freude zu bereiten. Sondern, weil sie selbst Freude daran haben wollen. Weil sie drauf stehen. Und es gibt gar nicht wenige Männer, die nicht drauf stehen. Tja, lieber TE, deine Ausführungen mit all dem - pardon - Gedöhnse sind sicherlich äusserst romantisch, aber das echte Leben da draußen ist keine kunterbunte Pornowelt. Mir wäre es ehrlich gesagt eine Spur zu anstrengend, nur weil ich Lust habe, das Hintertürchen meiner Liebsten zu bedienen. Sex ist etwas für zwei Menschen die sich im Idealfall auch ziemlich gern mögen - und da ergibt sich so etwas aus der Nähe zueinander. Es braucht also weder Kerzen, ein warmes Bad, ein bis drei Flaschen Prosecco (willst du sie abfüllen?) oder Marcello's Oboenkonzert in einer Transkription von Johann Sebastian Bach - sondern lediglich das Vertrauen, den Respekt und die - erraten! - Lust zu und aufeinander. Aber um nun nicht gänzlich abzuschweifen, möchte ich natürlich auch gerne deine Frage beantworten: Ich stehe drauf. Nicht immer und keineswegs zu jeder Zeit, denn das hängt von einigen Faktoren (Fuck-toren?) ab, die ich oben zum Teil schon angerissen habe. Ansonsten gilt: Nicht jeder Arsch der glänzt, lässt sich auch ficken.

Blue Motion Night – Fürst Albert hält Hof auf der boot

Düsseldorf. Mit ein wenig Verspätung schritt er über den Teppich, um bei der Blue Motion Night der Messe Düsseldorf dabei zu sein. Sein Auftreten war wie zu erwarten royal gelassen.

Der Anlass: Der Fürst – in der Landeshauptstadt als Privatperson Albert Grimaldi unterwegs – wollte über die Kooperation der Fondation Prince Albert II. mit der Deutschen Meeresstiftung sprechen und lobte den “Ocean Tribute”-Award zum Schutz der Meere aus.

Fürst Albert besucht die Blue Motion Night

Ehrfurchtsvoll sinnierte er über die “wichtige Arbeit der Meeresstiftung”. Wer könne, solle seine Energien auf den Erhalt der Ozeane richten, sagte er. Nach fast 25 Jahren besuchte Fürst Albert II. von Monaco erneut die Wassersportmesse Boot. Er war ohne Zweifel der Star-Gast der Blue Motion Night, bei der sich spannende Persönlichkeiten die Klinke in die Hand gaben. Aldi-Witwe Babette Albrecht, Oberbürgermeister Thomas Geisel und seine Ehefrau Vera waren da, Unternehmer Josef Klüh, Richard Oetker, Versandhaus-Größe Frank Otto und Lebensgefährtin Nathalie Volk, Arag-Chef Paul-Otto Fassbender, Chocolatier Heinz-Richard Heinemann.

Außerdem in der Halle: Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Breidenbacher-Hof-Direktor Cyrus Heydarian und Kollege Carsten Fritz vom Steigenberger Parkhotel. RTL-Moderatorin Annett Möller fand den Fürsten “sehr sympathisch”. Ein Typ, mit dem man sich einen lustigen Abend vorstellen könne. Er habe etwas von einem verschmitzten Jungen, sagte Designer Thomas Rath.

Juwelierin Christel Heilmann lernte Albert Grimaldi bereits vor 30 Jahren kennen. “Er ist ein sehr angenehmer Mensch.” Rolf Königs, Unternehmer und Borussia-Mönchengladbach-Präsident, befand: “Er ist ein Business-Mann durch und durch.” Für Verleger Sebastian te Neues ist er ein Vorzeige-Kosmpolit. Düsseldorf-Festival-Intendantin Christiane Oxenfort sah das ähnlich: “Er ist weltmännisch und wirkt ausgesprochen kompetent.

” Professor Dietrich Baumgart, gefragter Kardiologe, empfand Fürst Albert als ausgesprochen zugewandt. Albert Grimaldi lobte den “Ocean Tribute”-Award mit Frank Schweikert, Vorsitzender der Deutschen Meeresstiftung, und Werner Dornscheidt, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der Messe Düsseldorf, aus. Dornscheidt überreichte Fürst Albert einen Scheck in Höhe von 10.

000 Euro. Er sei sehr glücklich, wieder einmal in Düsseldorf zu sein, sagte Fürst Albert später. Er habe an diese Stadt nur die besten Erinnerungen. Dass er 1994 mit seinem Vater Rainier hier gewesen sei, “das sei schon etwas ganz Besonderes”. Brigitte Pavetic
