I have specifically crawled SJ's vlog for Tony's reaction and was shocked to not see something like this there!! Tony being so shook is hilarious!

He has (or had) Stephanie and her viewers. That's where Tatty found him and stalked him, and saw that her audience could be hers as well ... and she went after him thinking she had found her golden egg for advertising her ideas and fund raising them.

The Chateau was put on the market in May 2021.

Château DYI I had jumped your courtyard surprise! Davey’s plan called for trees to be planted outside the box hedge. I wrote about it in the comments when I saw them measuring up the courtyard, and the are drawn in the plans.

I don't have very good feeling of Tatyana. My senses say that there is something suspicious about her. Her entire presence seems quite shallow and even her speaking voice/tone doesn't sound really hers.

There is no time limit for love or how long you have to love someone to truly love them BUT I always get suspicious when people get together and start making big changes, such as huge financial purchases together. It is just unwise.

How long they have actually known each other, like in person, I don't mean online relationship. Half a year?

I don't mean that he had anything materially to offer but I suspect that it was his online platform that was the appeal. She doesn't seem to lie attracted to him or even to like him and I think he is desperate for someone.

ADVENT SEASON HAS BEGUN

Yesterday was the first Sunday of Advent, wasn't it?

Uhmmm....where's the much-anticipated first and second days of Advent vlogs?

Did SJ speak ex-cathedra and decide to have her own religious calendar?

Or is it just her being herself pissing on other people's religious festivals?

Or will she blame Dan the Gardener for not meeting his deadline for the Advent intro video?

Phoenix. I sat next to your fashion Santa on the streetcar


That’s legit. There’s a long long quarantine for dogs entering the UK
Since the advent of the 'pet passport', if you follow all of the rules (microchipped, vet check/clean bill of health within certain time span before travel, rabies shot & other vaccines up to date and pet passport) then there's no quarantine. If you don't meet all the criteria, then you might face a 4 month quarantine. Years ago, before the pet passports, it was a manditory six month quarantine.

... Once they have bought the chateau, no events will be organized. They will blame Covid or anything else outside their responsibility.

That's my concern. What is Kickstarter's policy for something that is successfully crowd funded but not carried through to the funders? Usually what I've seen on Kickstarter are actual tangible products. I recall looking at one for a specifically put together goal planner and another for a handbag. So, once it's funded, the journal (or handbag) is made and those who pledged, get one when it's finally made .
But in this intangible product of a festival that can be cancelled due to so many uncontrollable reasons particularly during a freaking PANDEMIC... well, it's truly strange.
Kickstarter must have some sort of policy for promised product not being delivered? Most are entrepreneurs who do want their products to be successful though , they don't run off with a bunch of produced products and disappear.

I have been lurking in this forum for a while because I wasn’t really sure how to feel about CD (personally I don’t care about the whole youtube grift so much since clearly a lot of people are still watching).

BUT that whole kickstarter for Selmar really takes the cake. First of all, the audacity to ask for this much money for a fully furnished castle that is worth like 1.5 mil. It’s really not in a chateau DIY spirit. Because at least with the other chateaux owners you can see the angle of “help us save and renovate this historic monument”. Selmar’s is just a fancy castle - why should anyone want to pay him to live there?

As for the festival plans: as someone who has already organized public cultural events, I feel like they have no idea how hard it is to organize a 2000 people event. Organizational and financial deficits aside, where are these people supposed to come from? You’d need a huge marketing budget and a lot of time to reach so many people. That’s why most event planners start with small events and work their way up.

I think a lot of people consider Dec 1 the first day of Advent - you wouldn't want to run out of chocolate ahead of time, right?

Does she write fanfic? Let's not forget you don't have to be a great writer to get a huge book deal that then leads to a movie deal! See: Twilight saga , 50 Shades Of Grey (both started off as fan fic and blew up and neither are particularly well-written.)

I agree, without the online platform, she would not have been aware of him and it's likely they would not have met. I don't get the impression that she doesn't like him though...I guess we all interpret things differently.
Since they're probably set in their ways, there's going to be a period of adjustment like any couple...maybe even more so since they sort of jumped in together feet first and moved I think a little too fast.

i dont have much experience with mortgages, but i dont imagine it being so easy to get a loan for 1.7 million..they have hardly an income...or are the banks in France so easygoing??
They *specifically* have said they don't want a loan. That's why they are crowdfunding and doing it from the other direction... Raising money from custumers ahead of the product .

Philjars should f##k right off. He looks like a nephew dealing with an ailing aunt. That said, I've been through his insta and there is a slight resemblance between Stepjars and his own mother. (Who is probably within 5 years of Steppie's age) The whole thing reminds me of a 14 year old boy I once hugged when I was 16 and we had to date for 6 weeks. I couldn't wait to get rid of him.

100 % AGREE. And the way she just showed up was really strange. I doubt even six months of knowing eachother. Mind you she could have been following his facebook page for some time. I get a sense she's going to hightail sooner rather than later. Correct me if I'm wrong, was she the one who got Selmar into a patreon account? I really hope she doesn't have access to those funds.
