Cindy Picos was dropped by her home insurer last month. The reason: aerial photos of her roof, which her insurer refused to let her see.
“I thought they had the wrong house,” said Picos, who lives in northern California. “Our roof is in fine shape.” 
Her insurer said its images showed her roof had “lived its life expectancy.” Picos paid for an independent inspection that found the roof had another 10 years of life. Her insurer declined to reconsider its decision.
Across the U.S., insurance companies are using aerial images of homes as a tool to ditch properties seen as higher risk. 
Nearly every building in the country is being photographed, often without the owner’s knowledge. Companies are deploying drones, manned airplanes and high-altitude balloons to take images of properties. No place is shielded: The industry-funded Geospatial Insurance Consortium has an airplane imagery program it says covers 99% of the U.S. population. 
The array of photos is being sorted by computer models to spy out underwriting no-nos, such as damaged roof shingles, yard debris, overhanging tree branches and undeclared swimming pools or trampolines. The red-flagged images are providing insurers with ammunition for nonrenewal notices nationwide.
“We’ve seen a dramatic increase across the country in reports from consumers who’ve been dropped by their insurers on the basis of an aerial image,” said Amy Bach, executive director of consumer group United Policyholders. 
The increasingly sophisticated use of flyby photos comes as home insurers nationwide scramble to “derisk” their property portfolios, dropping less-than-perfect homes in an effort to recover from big underwriting losses.

^ This is the very first design of the character Kitty Fazbear from the second The Return to Freddy’s game. It is very bad. Below is the model for the final version of the game
Tumblr media
Kitty Fazcat was created by Tyler’s exgirlfriend (who people at some point lied and convinced Tyler was actually his sister somehow, I believe??). Many people think it’s stolen from Cindy’s design from FNaC, but that’s untrue. It is not an unreasonable thing to think because here is Sugar, Kitty Fazcat’s counterpart.
Tumblr media
Now if that doesn’t look familiar, here’s the first game’s design:
Tumblr media
Yeah.
Other things:
-The original TRTF is entirely stolen assets. It was also originally called… Five Nights at Freddy’s 3. Before FNaF 3 came out. People were not happy.
-There was going to be an animatronic strip club at some point.
-a character named Gronk or something slips on a bar of soap and somehow falls into a springlock suit and dies. Like. He falls. Into the springlock suit. So that he is Wearing it. This was retconned later to him killing himself but I won’t let anyone forget this.
-there is a… “””novel”””. It is bad.
-super cancer is a major plot point. So is ‘99% immortality’, I think it’s called. It’s a potion that rots your skin, makes you immortal, and makes you infertile or something.
-one of the games explains the entire story to you in a giant wall of text before the game starts. Like you click play and it tells you all this shit or something.
-when this guy stole Candy the Cat to make sugar, the creator of Candy told him to stop, but later told him he could use candy, I believe? But he later stopped using candy. But despite this, he still used Kitty Fazcat, his ex girlfriends character, though I don’t think she ever cared nor should she tbh.
-I don’t like shitting on self inserts but Lockjaw/Frankfurt/BFP has to be the weirdest self insert I have ever seen and I strive to be that fucking batshit and cringe.
Anyway here are the other versions of kitty Fazcat.

I think she was plot important or something I dunno.

Obsessed with the Thai poster that just has a random picture of Cindy Morgan on it
Tumblr media
There’s so many layers of hilarity here.
1.) there are several pictures of Lora to use, most posters would use her in the laser lab or in Flynn’s apartment . They are available.
2.) there is no other “real world” counterpart on the poster. Just Lora. Not even Flynn who’s arguably the main character
3.) at no point does she look like that in the movie. Her hair is straightened/wavy but not full on curly
4.) I’m 99% sure this is ripped from a love scene? It could be a strapless dress but I’m pretty sure she’s topless and in bed sheets. They just rip a picture from another movie… sex sells? 🤷‍♀️
It’s just so funny because a part from this it’s a really nice poster?

Hi Moyo :)
I would really love to know about your rules regarding wants/ltws/secondary asp etc. How do you choose aspirations for your sims? Is ltw (for example, career one) more important to you than regular wants (for different careers for example)? Are you trying to acomplish ltw even if sim doesnt have many wants about it?
Hope this is not too much questions :)
Have a nice day!
Hi nonny!
That is so weird, I was just thinking last night I wondered if I should post about some of my gameplay rules and here you asked! Let's see, how can I organize my response to not ramble... I'm gonna ramble anyways I can't help it.
I try to follow my sims' wants, within reason. 90% of the time I'll do whatever they want but it is my game at the end of the day. I don't have a lot of specific want-related rules. One that comes to mind is when teens roll the go to college want. I will entirely ignore it if they roll it prior to their birthday. If they roll it any time on their final teen day then I'll lock it in and then they'll go. But I don't lock it in before because they could change their mind 😉 College is a big decision! With things like engagement & marriage I'd ideally like both sims to want it but that doesn't always happen and then I have to decide whether I think the desire of the sim who does want it trumps the other sim not having the want. Usually I decide it does.
Sims don't get jobs unless they want one, meaning there's no guarantee a sim with a career-related LTW will fill that. However, I do keep it in mind when a sim is looking for a job - in the cases where they just roll a generic 'get a job' want or if they roll any job want I'll hold their LTW career in higher regard and if it's one of the options I will choose it instead of whatever the want is for. I won't spoil which sim but this exact example is in my queue atm. But if my sim isn't showing any want indication for a job I won't go out of my way to be like "well your LTW is x so here you go!"
So to answer that question I'm not sure if that makes LTWs more or less important than regular wants...I guess they sort of are less important because I want there to be a chance that not every sim is fulfilled. At the same time there's a lot of gray area. You could argue with former-townie Renee Andrews who has the custom Self-Employed Talent LTW that I shouldn't make her start a business until she has a regular want for one, but I've kind of made the executive decision that whenever she can afford to that I want her to start one...mostly because businesses are really fun imo.
The same goes for whether or not I'm trying to accomplish a LTW even if they don't roll many regular wants regarding it - it's a big ol' depends. Pol's LTW is to raise 20 puppies/kittens but it's not like he's had wants for Baby and Tarabas to try for kittens (is there even a want for that?). Pol did want to obtain a pet and adopted Baby, but I had to force the adoption of Tarabas and do the rest. But that's because I've personally never completed that LTW and I want to give it a shot so I am. The Max 7 Skills LTW is usually pretty easy because Knowledge sims always want to skill anyways so I don't have to intervene at all there. Same with Romance sims, they'll roll wants to have x lovers or woohoo with x sims regardless. But I obviously have their LTWs written on my spreadsheet for a reason. I'm not going out of my way to fulfill them but they're always in the back of my mind. I guess that's the answer.
Aspirations are chosen based on Zodiac. I have two tables saved on my spreadsheet and I'm 99% sure they're from Cindy/Pleasant Sims because I borrow a lot of the way I play these days from her. I have one that does incorporate Pleasure as a primary asp and one that doesn't - and seems like from my past-self's decision to highlight the one that does that I am using that one for Strangetown 😜
Tumblr media
Secondary Aspirations are calculated using interests with this calculator, which I don't know if it was made by Cindy? But I know I borrowed from her. The only additional rules I have regarding secondary asps are that I only assign them once a sim is an adult, and if a sim has the highest number of points in their primary asp then they won't have a secondary. If they tie in a category then I choose.
This seems like a good point to mention that I also don't look at LTWs until a sim is a young adult...unless of course I see it by accident. I have a few age-specific 'rules' for when I check things and add to my spreadsheet. Here are those, along with some other rules I wrote down for myself so I don't forget. Such as because I use the shorter university mod I cheat sims $1k for each semester it skips because idk I think that's fair... gives graduates a little extra money. And then I wrote down the actual amounts per grade in case the popup disappears before I see it since I will put that into each sim's individual bank account. Wondering now if it'd make more sense for me to do body hair as teen too... 🤔 I've always done it at YA but I only recently added in that I want to start rolling for glasses and facial hair otherwise I forget and none of my sims will ever have them. Dunno.
Tumblr media
Let me know if you want clarification on anything or have any other questions! I'm always happy to answer about the way I play 🤗 One of the best things about this community is being able to inspire and be inspired by each other!

De Algemene Verwarring #111 - 29 April 2024
Episode one hundred and eleven of De Algemene Verwarring was broadcast on Monday, April 29, 2024, and you can listen to it by clicking on the link below that will take you directly to the Mixcloud page:
First of all, apologies for the late update of the Tumblr page again, I'm kinda slacking with it lately. Sometimes there's just not enough time to get everything done. The usual order is: Monday: making the episode, Tuesday: putting the show online and spreading the word on the social media, and Wednesday: Tumblr. But you know sometimes there's just other things to do on Wednesdays and then I tend to forget the following days. Anyway, let's get down to business. Pictured below is the Australian almost unpronounceable duo Troth. I recently picked up the CD compilation of their early work "Uncut Flowers", released last year by the fine people of Fördämning Arkiv, and I absolutely love it. It compiles early very limited cassettes and some compilation tracks and I think that at this very moment I like it more than the two albums I have from the band (one on Knekelhuis and the other on Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox), but I'll have to give those two another spin. It's a pretty unique band anyway, combining elements of the Bristol scene with dub and kraut influences. Very good release, and it's still available at Discreet Music. And it's on CD and yeah seems like the noise and experimental scene is totally into CDs again and I don't really have an excellent cd player anymore so it's always a surprise if it will play or not, but this one does so me happy.
Some other music in this episode: Primetime, Blank Statements, Lime Crush, Jeanines, Paperniks, X-Mal Deutschland, Can Kicker, Rose Mercie, Cindy, Nina Harker, and Mosquitoes. And beneath the photo you can find the playlist for the show. Enjoy!

luciana  saphira  ,  is  very  kind     (     but  dont  get  her  wrong  .  she  can  hit  her  limit  and  that  kindness  can  slip  up  .     )      she  grew  up  in  a  family  that  strived  for something  picture  perfect  and  that  turned  her  into  a  perfectionist  .  as  much  as  she  doesn't  want  to  live  with  that  same  kind  of  pressure  ,  she  can't  help  it  .  on  the  outside  she  can  seem  like  everything  is  perfectly  fine  but  on  the  inside  she  has  this  very  deep  seeded  loneliness  and  sadness  she  carries  onto  .  she  can  be  bubbly  when  she  wants  to  but  she  can  hit  her  social  limit  and  at  that  point  it  just  becomes  too  much  .  she  is  prone  to  meltdowns  . . .  she's  a  sensitive  person  .  feels  things  really  hard  but  also  throws  up  barriers  with  herself  and  pushes  down  99 %  of  her  emotions  when  they  become  too  much  .  she's  a  loyal  person  to  her  friends  and  the  people  she  cares  about  . really , she would do anything for anyone . to the point where it could get a bit toxic and she drowns herself in it .  as  much  as  she  loves  the  universe  and  the  stars  ,  as  much  as  she  likes  to  dream  . . .  she  also  has  this  fear  of  it  all  as  well  . and although positive outwardly , she can be a bit negative inwardly . but the way there's this  endlessness  of the world and life , that scares her  . . .  she  has  trouble  with  her  own  self  and  identity  .  and  as  much  as  a  hopeless  romantic  she  can  be  she's  also  unable  to  hold  onto  relationships  for  long  .  has  a  fear  of  getting  too  close  to  people  and  is  one  of  those  people  that  craves  affection  but  flinches  at  it  at  the  same  time  .  pretty  much  she's  a  soft  little  baby  .  she  just  wants  to  make  people  feel  good  but  also  . . .  she's  deeply  sad  . . . even though she's a sweet little contradictory romantic type girl . . . she also can be a bit reckless in her own way . throwing herself down potholes for some kind of sign of life .           (     rip  ,  i  have  a  theme  to  uphold  .  long  live  the  emos  .     )
!!!   𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑  𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆  𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓   !!!   :   neglect  ,  parental  neglect  ,  parental  mental  abuse  ,  trauma  ,  adulatory  and  addiction  .
ever  since  the  moment  luciana  was  born  her  life  was  orchestrated  ,  almost  like  performance  art  . there wasn't a time she could remember when eyes weren't on her and her family .  her  parents  had  always  been  the  type  of  people  that  wanted  it  to  seem  as  though  they  had  the  picture  perfect  family  .  pristine  ,  almost  to  the  point  where  the  family  seemed  plastic  .  and  that's  just  how  they  wanted  it  to  seem  .  the  wealthy  and  elite  family  all  smiles  and  handshakes  .  all  fancy  parties  and  sucking  up  to  all  the  right  people  . all the people that could get them further into that life of wealth .
  luciana  and  her  older  brother  were dragged  along  to  anything  and  everything  their  parents  could  get  them  into  .  a  way  to  show  the  world  they  had  something  they  didn't  . . .  that their family  had  everything  .  the  perfect  little  family  ,  the  riches  ,  the  reputation  . . .  it  was  everything  the  money  hungry  parents  wanted , even if it was anything but the truth .
a question , was  the  life  they  lead  really  all  that  perfect  or  great  ?  not  at  all  .  luciana  knew  at  a  young  age  how  dysfunctional  her  family  was  .  the  way  they  said  one  thing  to  the  world  but  everything  was  completely  opposite  or  different  inside  . . .  it  confused  her  .  the  constant  distrust  in  the  people  around  her  and  this  loneliness  she  had  never  been  able  to  let  go  of began to creep onto her until it swallowed her whole  . 
the  moment  she  was  able  to  be  put  in  front  of  a  camera  ,  luciana's  parents  made  sure  of  it  .  putting  her  in  the  hands  of  any  and  every  person  in  the  industry  .  no  real  safety  net  despite  having  her  so - called  mom - ager  there  to  protect  her  .  if  anything  ,  luci  felt  as  though  she  was  less  protected  when  her  mother  was  around  .  the  way  the  woman  would  throw  her  to  the  wolves  just  to  get  the  attention  she  desired  .  wanting  to  live  through  her  daughter  .  playing  puppet master  and  treating  her  own  child  as  if  she  was  a  little  doll  she  could  bend  and  control  anyway  she  wanted  to  .
( TW : PILLS / NEGLECT / CHEATING . ) when  the  eyes  weren't  on  the  family  ,  the  issues  came  in  swarms  .  luciana  watching  as  her  mother  abused  different  pills and alcohol  ,  her  brother  drowned  himself  in  anything  he  could  get  his  hands  on , trying to silence the noise of heated arguments  and  his  father  cheating  with  various  different  woman  . luciana seeing things she shouldn't but felt she had to hold onto and keep secret . they were  a  broken  family  behind  closed  doors  but  the  moment  they  had  eyes  on  them  ,  everyone  would  pretend  nothing  was  wrong  .  a  smile  forming  on  what  was  once  a  miserable  face  . ( / END TW . )
as  much  as  luci  doesn't  want  to  be  under  her  mothers  control  or  her  parents  . . .  she  is  .  unable  to  really  get  out  from  under  their  grasps  .  at  a  young  age  she  had  went  through  something  traumatic  .  no  help  in  the  way  she  was  thrown  to  the  wolves  and  that  began  the  spiraling  that  luci  began  to  go  through  .
a  little  reckless  in  her  behavior  ,  although  under  the  radar  .  then  again  ,  she'd  always  felt  like  she  could  be  screaming  for  help  in  front  of  the  people  in  her  life  and  no  one  would  see  or  hear  her  .  after  an  episode  that  was  too  catastrophic  to  ignore  ,  her  parents  sent  her  off  to  a  nature  retreat  . . .  a  way  to  be  calm  and  become  one  with  the  earth  .  although  ,  they  didn't  want  to  address  the  situation  of  not  only  what  their  daughter  had  been  through  and  the  secrets  she  held  onto  but  they  also  didn't  want  to  believe  that  there  could  be  something  actually  wrong  with  her  . or something she could actually be struggling with .  instead  sending  her  off  on  a  pointless  journey  that  didn't  take  away  all  the  hurt  and  pain  she  had  been  through  .
once back , luci's parents moved their family to lincoln city , where luciana ended up becoming a student at st. mary's , now known as new horizons for her last couple years of high school . this was a new start . new masks for the family to wear but in a much more quiet setting .
luci didn't really know christopher wilder but from afar , she had always had a way of latching onto different boys even if they didn't know it . nevertheless , after everything had happened . luci had stayed in lincoln city for a bit before her family decided to move back to new york , where she followed . starting her career and thinking , the past was in the best . but she obviously spoke too soon .
copy & paste what i said about kai here : there's  some  things  missing  ,  i'm  sure  !  but  for  now  ,  this  is  what  i  got  .  going  with  the  flow  as  i  figure  him  out  more  !  please  ,  have  this  trash  as  my  token  of  gratitude  .  and  i'm  sorry  you  had  to  endure  this  struggle  and  ramble  .

crosshair is a character that i find narratively interesting (like skeen in andor) but have zero desire to play with him in my head because 1) i don’t like him, and 2) his narrative doesn’t need expounding because he is the only character besides the one-note imperial officers who’s function is carved into the story.
like, crosshair is just straight up a bad dude. (a bad dude on a graded character journey, but yeah — bad dude set in his ways.) not because he is a soldier (the narrative does not condemn him for that) but because, initially, his world view truly does align with the empire’s. he doesn’t have a control chip. he really does just think jedi and children and whoever else are expendable because it’s easy, because it’s his job to pull the trigger, and because he will do anything so long as it keeps him alive, because crosshair, unlike hunter, unlike the rest of clone force 99, is not a protector; he’s a survivor in the worst way. and just like the ice vultures prominent in last episode, he is perfectly fine living off the flesh of his dead brethren — good clones he’s killed on orders, innocent and good people he’s killed on orders, people he’s treated as expendable, like he’s been treated, hurting people because he wants to and not because he has to — if it means he’ll live another day.
until, slowly, that changes, and he isn’t as okay with damning other clones and people just so he can live — not because he is suddenly moral and good and wants the best for everyone, but because he has finally gotten it through his thick thumb-shaped head that the empire does not give a single goddamn fuck about him. he is one tiny cog in the wheel of a failing machine, and the empire will sap everything it can from him before grinding him to dust and replacing him with a shinier, newer model that will meet the same fate.
it is not chiefly morality or a grinch scenario that makes him change. crosshair just realizes, oh fuck. CF99 was full of idiots, but i was a person to them. like mayday was a person to his squad. and i’d rather die as a person making my own choices than live as a soulless cog in the machine.
and that’s a good lesson, precisely because crosshair does not have a sudden change of heart. he is still reacting out of a need for survival, which frankly motivates more people irl than pure morals do. throwing your lot in with rebellion against tyranny not because you believe in the rebellion but because you know that the their enemy will come for you next so it’s in your best interest to team up is a real one. it’s a fucked up angle but a necessary one to consider, and a refreshing spin on the usual emotional turn these characters take.
i’m sure he will eventually either be redeemed through death or will have a full grinch moment with omega as his cindy lou who somewhere down the line, but for now i like where he’s headed because it makes him the most interesting character in the show. unfortunately. because again, the man looks like a fucking thumb-thumb.

I know we're all bored and frustrated with the strikes getting in the way of Austin's upcoming projects. But with so many serious issues out there, let's stop this hate already. Let's all take your own referenced advice- Let It Be.
And by that I mean... unless you truly believe he is involved in a dangerous or illegal situation that requires immediate physical intervention, I say let it go. Whether real or fake, or pr or organic, living together or not, coerced by Cindy/Rande/KatePR/the voices in his head or not... just let.it.be. Statistically, you can take comfort in knowing that this relationship, whatever its nature or intensity, like any other relationship, will run its course.
I'm asking all of us to stop making other women our enemies, whether that's Kaia or other Austin fans (again, unless they are engaging in illegal acts). Let's say the shoe was on the other foot? What if you were the one involved with Austin, and had to deal with weird accusations from strangers involving convoluted conspiracies? You may disagree, and Hollywood may be a wild place, but I typically follow Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Two people are together because they are attracted to one another and get along. When it's no longer the case, they break up. We have very creative minds over here, but most times it's not that complicated.
I'm over here on my blog minding my own business, answering questions when they crop up in my DMs which recently has been a lot. But 99% of the time, my blog does not engage in this kind of discourse on the regular.
I understand that as women we should stick together and not be down each other's throats. But it's hard to have any kind of genuine sympathy for women that engage in harassment, bullying, and cyber stalking. Just because somebody is female does not mean we as women have to 100% like them. And i'm not going to stand for the vicious attacks against either myself or my followers that are being targeted by harassment on the daily by other women.
Perhaps since i grew up in a different time, i believe that i don't have to be on somebody's side blindly just because they're also a female like me. I choose to uplift anybody of any gender that are good people. And when i see people engaging in deplorable behavior then i don't stand by them.
I also say this all the time, i do not force anybody to be on my blog, to like me, or to agree with me. Women can also partake is disgusting behaviors. But just because they're a fellow woman that means that we have to stand by their actions? Absolutely not. Gender has nothing to do with this at all.
This is simply a matter of differing opinions on a subject matter. We can all disagree, or agree, or something in between. Im fine with people who think they're in a genuine connection. But what i do not stand for is the vicious attacks on myself and my fellow friends when i'm just talking on my own blog.
I also see what you're saying and upon reading this again to make sure i got exactly what you intended with this message, i agree that i think both sides need to take accountability where it's needed.

   QUICK  PERSONALITY  CHECK   …
a  quick  little  personality  check          ⏤         luciana  is  very  kind     (     but  dont  get  her  wrong  .  she  can  hit  her  limit  and  that  kindness  can  slip  up  .     )      she  grew  up  in  a  family  that  strived  for something  picture  perfect  and  that  turned  her  into  a  perfectionist  .  as  much  as  she  doesn't  want  to  live  with  that  same  kind  of  pressure  ,  she  can't  help  it  .  on  the  outside  she  can  seem  like  everything  is  perfectly  fine  but  on  the  inside  she  has  this  very  deep  seeded  loneliness  and  sadness  she  carries  onto  .  she  can  be  bubbly  when  she  wants  to  but  she  can  hit  her  social  limit  and  at  that  point  it  just  becomes  too  much  .  she  is  prone  to  meltdowns  . . .  she's  a  senstive  person  .  feels  things  really  hard  but  also  throws  up  barrers  with  herself  and  pushs  down  99 %  of  her  emotions  when  they  become  too  much  .  she's  a  loyal  person  to  her  friends  and  the  people  she  cares  about  . really , she would do anything for anyone . to the point where it could get a bit toxic and she drowns herself in it .  as  much  as  she  loves  the  universe  and  the  stars  ,  as  much  as  she  likes  to  dream  . . .  she  also  has  this  fear  of  it  all  as  well  . and although positive outwardly , she can be a bit negative inwardly . but the way there's this  endlessness  of the world and life , that scares her  . . .  she  has  trouble  with  her  own  self  and  identity  .  and  as  much  as  a  hopeless  romantic  she  can  be  she's  also  unable  to  hold  onto  relationships  for  long  .  has  a  fear  of  getting  too  close  to  people  and  is  one  of  those  people  that  craves  affection  but  flinches  at  it  at  the  same  time  .  pretty  much  she's  a  soft  little  baby  .  she  just  wants  to  make  people  feel  good  but  also  . . .  she's  deeply  sad  . . . even though she's a sweet little contradictory romantic type girl . . . she also can be a bit reckless in her own way . throwing herself down potholes for some kind of sign of life .           (     rip  ,  i  have  a  theme  to  uphold  .  long  live  the  emos  .     )
triggers  :   neglect  ,  parental  neglect  ,  parental  mental  abuse  ,  trauma  ,  adulatory  and  addiction  .
ever  since  the  moment  luciana  was  born  her  life  was  orchestrated  ,  almost  like  performance  art  . there wasn't a time she could remember when eyes weren't on her and her family .  her  parents  had  always  been  the  type  of  people  that  wanted  it  to  seem  as  though  they  had  the  picture  perfect  family  .  pristine  ,  almost  to  the  point  where  the  family  seemed  plastic  .  and  that's  just  how  they  wanted  it  to  seem  .  the  wealthy  and  elite  family  all  smiles  and  handshakes  .  all  fancy  parties  and  sucking  up  to  all  the  right  people  . all the people that could get them further into that life of wealth and fame .
  luciana  and  her  older  brother  were dragged  along  to  anything  and  everything  their  parents  could  get  them  into  .  a  way  to  show  the  world  they  had  something  they  didn't  . . .  that their family  had  everything  .  the  perfect  little  family  ,  the  riches  ,  the  fame  . . .  it  was  everything  the  money  and  fame  hungry  parents  wanted , even if it was anything but the truth .
a question , was  the  life  they  lead  really  all  that  perfect  or  great  ?  not  at  all  .  luciana  knew  at  a  young  age  how  dysfunctional  her  family  was  .  the  way  they  said  one  thing  to  the  world  but  everything  was  completely  opposite  or  different  inside  . . .  it  confused  her  .  the  constant  distrust  in  the  people  around  her  and  this  loneliness  she  had  never  been  able  to  let  go  of began to creep onto her until it swallowed her whole  . 
the  moment  she  was  able  to  be  put  in  front  of  a  camera  ,  luciana's  parents  made  sure  of  it  .  putting  her  in  the  hands  of  any  and  every  person  in  the  industry  .  no  real  safety  net  despite  having  her  so - called  mom - ager  there  to  protect  her  .  if  anything  ,  luci  felt  as  though  she  was  less  protected  when  her  mother  was  around  .  the  way  the  woman  would  throw  her  to  the  wolves  just  to  get  the  attention  she  desired  .  wanting  to  live  through  her  daughter  .  playing  puppet master  and  treating  her  own  child  as  if  she  was  a  little  doll  she  could  bend  and  control  anyway  she  wanted  to  .
when  the  cameras  weren't  on  the  family  ,  the  issues  came  in  swarms  .  luciana  watching  as  her  mother  abused  different  pills and alcohol  ,  her  brother  drowned  himself  in  anything  he  could  get  his  hands  on , trying to silence the noise of heated arguments  and  his  father  cheating  with  various  different  woman  . luciana seeing things she shouldn't but felt she had to hold onto and keep secret . they were  a  broken  family  behind  closed  doors  but  the  moment  they  had  eyes  on  them  ,  everyone  would  pretend  nothing  was  wrong  .  a  smile  forming  on  what  was  once  a  miserable  face  .
as  much  as  luci  doesn't  want  to  be  under  her  mothers  control  or  her  parents  . . .  she  is  .  unable  to  really  get  out  from  under  their  grasps  .  at  a  young  age  she  had  went  through  something  traumatic  .  no  help  in  the  way  she  was  thrown  to  the  wolves  and  that  began  the  spiraling  that  luci  began  to  go  through  .
a  little  reckless  in  her  behavior  ,  although  under  the  radar  .  then  again  ,  she'd  always  felt  like  she  could  be  screaming  for  help  in  front  of  the  people  in  her  life  and  no  one  would  see  or  hear  her  .  after  an  episode  that  was  too  catastrophic  to  ignore  ,  her  parents  sent  her  off  to  a  nature  retreat  . . .  a  way  to  be  calm  and  become  one  with  the  earth  .  although  ,  they  didn't  want  to  address  the  situation  of  not  only  what  their  daughter  had  been  through  and  the  secrets  she  held  onto  but  they  also  didn't  want  to  believe  that  there  could  be  something  actually  wrong  with  her  . or something she could actually be struggling with .  instead  sending  her  off  on  a  pointless  journey  that  didn't  take  away  all  the  hurt  and  pain  she  had  been  through  .
once  back  ,  she  was  thrown  back  into  her  work  .  back  to  playing  the  part  of  the  perfect  untouched  and  lovely  daughter  her  mother  wanted  her  to  be  .  back  to  being  the  little  doll  her  mother  wanted  to  control  .

99% of the problems some of y’all have with kaia are problems you need to have with cindy crawford and rande, not her. cindy has never had that girl’s best interests at heart ever, or her brother’s for that matter. if kaia truly does want this relationship to be different/more private i hope her parents don’t sabotage that for her.
