Children of the Red King, Charlie Bone and the Hidden King: Part Five
Tumblr media
As always, such a loving sibling relationship 💞
Tumblr media
I want to open Grizelda's head and study her brain. Is there any remorse at all in there for what they all did to her son? I have a kind of headcanon actually, that the Bloors originally wanted to kill him but she begged them not to.
Tumblr media
I do find it fascinating that their endowments can change - and I want to know what causes it! Bye bye hypnotising stare, hello fire-hands! 🔥
Tumblr media
They're all so protective of their friend I'M GONNA CRY-
Tumblr media
I really love just how supportive the "good" parents in this series are. Olivia's mum is a movie star, yet she's still willing to drop everything to help her daughter and her friends. I also have a soft spot for powerful mother-daughter teams.
Tumblr media
It's pretty impressive tbh that Olivia's illusion endowment also does sound AND smell. Dang girl. 9/10 low-level DnD mages are jealous.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here we have it - the big reveal of the identity of Charlie's father! And then of course (not pictured) Mr Pilgrim/Lyell doesn't remember him. :( But I loved the whole imagery of this scene as we delved back into Charlie's early memories.
Tumblr media
The King still protecting his descendents in every way possible <3 Also, this entire scene with Count Harken would have the most amazing visuals if it was adapted to TV. I wanna see it so badly.
Tumblr media
😂 BEST MOMENT OF THE WHOLE BOOK. LYSANDER. He is sooo 😭
Tumblr media
On the one hand, the parents all being their as protection for their kids is so SOFT and so different to most YA novels where the child protags do everything themselves. But on the other hand I feel like it would would draw more attention, which they're trying to avoid?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hmmm I don't think it's entirely fair for Bartholemew to act like Paton is more to blame than himself for "allowing" Lyell to go missing. Sure Paton has been keeping his head down for many years and hiding in his room, but Bartholemew has just been hiding away in the forest. Anyway.. I want to rotate the complicated relationship between these three guys in the washing machine for a while.
Tumblr media
Was Joshua and co. really just standing in the ruin all night hurling rocks at every passing bird just in case they happened to be Emma? Did they even have any reason to believe she'd be flying around or do they just do that every night lmao. Maybe they do it in shifts.
Tumblr media
The way Paton has grown to care for his nephew's in-laws as his own family is just so heartwarming 🥰But then, most of his own family sucks ass, so...
It is kinda awkward to have a frozen person lying in your bathtub for weeks tho when you just wanna shower.
Tumblr media
I'm sorry - the what? Ok sure, it's the middle of winter but Ms. Nimmo - have you ever been in a city in the weekend that wasn't full of people? What is this: March 2020??
Tumblr media
Omg they're not endowed. It's literally nothing to do with any of them - but the Gunns are all still here to support the cause in the best way they can 😭😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He came back and did the right thing. Of course he did. This is so wholesome. Help.
Tumblr media
👠👢Shoe Update!!! Olivia will never learn to wear sensible footwear and I love that about her. Queen!
Tumblr media
And here we have it: The proof that endowed kids can change their fates! They're not destined to be "good" or "evil". Oh Asa, my precious boy. Doing the right thing. I wanna give him a big hug.
Tumblr media
Maisie Jones is truly something else. Woman wakes up from being cyrogenically frozen and instead of freaking out, her first thought is "gotta make a cake"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My booooooooooooooooyyyyy 💔💔 I know he survives (to only get killed again later) but I still can't believe this was his intended end. I still don't think he deserves to die :((
Tumblr media
I still can't believe she ended the book there. I can't believe this was originally THE end. I'm sure when I read this the first time round, I didn't even know there were gonna be more books, and I vaguely remember LOSING MY SHIT over this.
But anyway. Charlie finally has both his parents back together. And all is right in the world.... for now.

Designed by local architect Joshua Nimmo with interior design by William Nash, this 2017-built home in the North Dallas neighbourhood of Hillcrest Estates, was inspired by Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and its iconic use of glass and steel. The single-story home took some 60 tons of steel to build and was constructed on a five-foot-deep basement with cantilevered I beams to create the illusion that it’s floating. It’s on the market for $7,495,000 -- via Curbed

Democracy and the Corrupt Seven (Eight)   19 Feb, 2019  UPDATE
 So now it is eight. If you want to understand that the UK truly is not a functioning democracy, consider this. Joan Ryan is all over the MSM this morning as being the eighth defector to the Independent Group. Yet astonishingly, while she is universally reported as citing anti-semitism as the reason she is leaving, it appears not one MSM journalist has asked her about her receipt of US$1 million from the Israeli Embassy for spreading Israeli influence. Not one. Nor has any mainstream media outlet cited the fact in its reporting today. Most, of course, never even mentioned it at the time.
ORIGINAL
I have heard it argued again and again on television this last 48 hours that it is deeply undemocratic for the electorate to be offered a choice that is any more complicated than between Red Tories and Blue Tories. It is apparently unthinkable and deeply wrong that Corbyn’s standard German style social democracy – which is routinely labeled “hard left” and “communist” – should be proffered to voters for them to support, or not.
The overwhelmingly Blairite MPs have put this case again and again to Labour Party members in repeated leadership elections, and have been roundly and repeatedly defeated. But now, according to no less a person than Tom Watson, Deputy Leader of the party, the losers’ policies must be embraced by the Party and adopted by its leadership, as to do otherwise is an affront to democracy. I confess I find this argument impossible to follow.
Corbyn has compromised already to a huge extent, even accepting that a Labour government will retain massive WMDs, in deference both to the imperialist pretensions of the Blairites and the personal greed of the demented Strangeloves who comprise the membership of the GMB Union. Labour’s pro-Trident stance will persist, until such time as enough Blairites join this forced march, or rather chauffeur driven drive, across their personal caviar and champagne strewn desert to their promised land of media contracts, massively remunerated charity executive jobs, and non-executive directorships.
Democracy is a strange thing. This episode has revealed that it is apparently a democratic necessity that we have another referendum on Brexit, while being a democratic necessity not to have another referendum on Scottish Independence, while the notion that the MPs, who now have abandoned the party and manifesto on which they stood, might face their electorates again, is so disregarded that none of the fawning MSM journalists are asking about it. In rejecting this option, the Corrupt Seven are managing the incredible feat of being less honorable than Tory MPs defecting to UKIP, who did have the basic decency to resign and fight again on their new prospectus.
Dick Taverne is a more directly relevant precedent, particularly as he was deselected as sitting Labour MP precisely because of his support for the EU. Taverne resigned, and fought and won his seat in a by-election in 1973, before losing it in the second 1974 election. There are also precedents for crossing the floor and not resigning and fighting under your new banner, but then there are also precedents for mugging old ladies. It is deeply dishonorable.
Luciana Berger is a one trick pony and it is worth noting that her complaints about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party date back to at least 2005, while Tony Blair was still Prime Minister. Berger had already by April 2005 spotted anti-Semitism in the National Union of Students, in the Labour Party and in her student union newspaper, those being merely the examples cited in this single Daily Telegraph article. I am extremely sorry and somewhat shocked to hear of the swamp of anti-semitism in which we were all already mired in 2005, but I do find it rather difficult to understand why the fault is therefore that of Jeremy Corbyn. And given that Tony Blair was at that time Prime Minister for eight years, I cannot understand why it is all Corbyn’s fault and responsibility now, but it was not Blair’s fault then.
On the contrary, the Telegraph puff piece states that Berger had met Blair several times and was Euan Blair’s girlfriend. This was of course before the privately educated Londoner was foisted on the unfortunate people of Liverpool Wavetree, doubtless completely unfacilitated by her relationship with Euan Blair.
The kind of abuse Berger has evidently been attracting since at least 2005 is of course a crime. Two people have quite rightly been convicted of it. Joshua Bonehill-Paine and John Nimmo sent a series of truly disgusting tweets and both were jailed. Both are committed long term neo-nazis. Yet I have repeatedly heard media references to the convictions squarely in the context of Labour Party anti-semitism. I have never heard on broadcast media it explained that neither had anything to do with the Labour Party. Like the left wing anti-semitism Berger has been reporting since at least 2005, this Nazi abuse too is all somehow Jeremy Corbyn’s fault.
It is further worth noting that in that 2005 article Berger claims a 47% increase in attacks on Jews, which is highly reminiscent of recent claims from community groups, such as the 44% increase claimed 2015 to 2017 or the 78% increase in violent crimes against Jews in the UK in 2017 alone claimed by the government of Israel.
One antisemitic attack is too many and all anti-semitism is to be deplored and rooted out. But if all these claims repeated again and again over decades of 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70% increases in attacks per year were true, then we would be now talking of at least 12,000 violent attacks on Jews per year, if we take Ms Berger’s 2005 claim as the baseline.
Yet we are not seeing that. The average number of convictions per year for violent, racially motivated attacks on Jewish people in the UK is less than one.
If we add in non-violent crimes, the number of people convicted per year for anti-semitic hate crime still remains under 20. And I am not aware of a single such conviction related in any way to the Labour Party.
Let me be perfectly plain. I want everybody convicted and imprisoned who is involved in anti-semitic hate crime. But the facts given above would cause any honest journalist to treat with more scepticism than they do, the repeated old chestnut claims of huge year on year increases in anti-semitic incidents.
There really are in logic only two choices; either anti-semitism is, contrary to all the hype, thankfully rare, or the entire British police, prosecutorial and judicial system must be systematically protecting the anti-semites. And I hardly see how they could blame Jeremy Corbyn for that.
None of this will stop the relentless promotion of the “Corbyn anti-semitism” theme, as the idea of a leader not completely behind the slow extirpation of the Palestinian people is unthinkable to the mainstream media class. The Corbyn anti-semitism meme is possibly the most remarkable example of evidence free journalism I have ever encountered.
Still more fascinating is the way the broadcasters are going to devote an astonishing amount of time to these political puppets. Of one thing I can assure you – these seven MPs will get more airtime than the 35 MPs of the SNP, with at least twice as many Question Time and Today programme appearances.
At some stage they will have to form a new party, in order to get airtime in elections. At what stage Blair declares for them is an interesting question. It is also a crucial test of just how horribly degraded the Lib Dems have now become. My old friend Charlie Kennedy will be spinning in his grave at an alliance with the Blairite warmonger faction, but the modern party appears bereft of any of the old Liberal values, cleared away by Clegg and his fellow orange Tories. If the party members do not revolt at association with Mike Gapes and Angela Smith, it really is time to wind the party up.
That the Corrupt Seven are some of the most unpleasant people in British politics is not entirely relevant, nor is the question of which interest groups are funding them. They are just an emission of pus, a symptom of the rottenness of the British body politic. They have nothing interesting to say and are feeble tools of the wealthy, thrown out as protection for a crumbling political system. The end of the UK is not pretty, and this is one of its uglier moments. It really is beyond time to crack on with Scottish Independence and the reunification of Ireland.
Unlike our adversaries including the Integrity Initiative, the 77th Brigade, Bellingcat, the Atlantic Council and hundreds of other warmongering propaganda operations, this blog has no source of state, corporate or institutional finance whatsoever. It runs entirely on voluntary subscriptions from its readers – many of whom do not necessarily agree with the articles, but welcome the alternative voice, insider information and debate.
Craig Murray is an author, broadcaster and human rights activist. He was British Ambassador to Uzbekistan from August 2002 to October 2004 and Rector of the University of Dundee from 2007 to 2010.

Children of the Red King, Charlie Bone and the Red Knight: Part Two
Tumblr media
You know what, I'm also wondering about the Branko twins - or to be specific, twins in general. We know that being endowed is an inherited trait, but also that not all descendents of the Red King are endowed. I would be curious to know what part of the genetic makeup/dna causes it. Are monozygotic twins always both or neither, and will they always have the same endowment? Questions questions questions...
Tumblr media
The Silks are such good eggs, they really are. You know they're the kind of poor(ish) people who share everything they have, no matter how little. An example to us all. (I say -ish, because they still live in the heights, and can afford Gabriel's gerbil habit).
Tumblr media
Can you imagine rebranding your entire business just because some gangly loser (affectionate) 19 year-old is petty af. He probably hypnotised them. Once again, Manfred - I am begging you to get a hobby. What happened to interior design? You used to love interior design.
Tumblr media
This is.. I don't know what else to say other than it's hard. Damn. I imagine this is a lot like watching your parent get dementia. It's a special kind of grieving process having to come to terms with the fact your close family member will never fully recover from something. 💔💔
Tumblr media
hehe typo
Tumblr media
Honest to god, sometimes I just want to grab Charlie Bone and shake him and see if anything resembling a brain falls out. I hate to say it, but the Yewbeam aunts might be onto something when they go on about how stupid he is. Like, he KNOWS there are people IN THE SHOP with him, searching for a secret door. So what does he do? He leads them right to it. 🤦
Tumblr media
OH WHAT A SURPRISE
Tumblr media
These kids owe so much to this Red Knight just deus ex machina-ing all over the place and repeatedly saving their butts. (Also something is triggering in my memory that it's actually his dad? I mean sure, LARP-ing is fun, but this is certainly an odd way to go about it)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LMAO the Flames basically just said "Do you even lift, bro?"
Tumblr media
Maybe learn to cook then you lazy little shit. You're 12. It's not hard. I'm being very mean to Charlie today but honestly I think it's justified.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This development of Charlie's powers though - gaining the ability to see people just by thinking about them - is horrifying invasion of personal privacy and one day he's gonna see something he wishes he hadn't 😂
Tumblr media
I will literally NEVER get tired of this no-life loser (affectionate) Manfred popping up like this. I wouldnn't care if it happened 5 times per book. I'm obsessed.
Tumblr media
Sometimes I wish there wasn't such an innapropriate age gap between these two because the IMAGERY. idc, hypnotism is sexy and evil and I live for problematic toxic relationships in fiction.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
brb The love these kids have for each other is everything to me. (I do wonder if Jenny Nimmo was setting Charlie and Olivia up to be a couple in the future? But idk I just love them as platonic bffs)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sorry but this is literally all I could think about during this whole scene
Tumblr media
I'm not sure if I talked about the Grimwald curse before but it's so INTERESTING to me. Also I'm surprised that the family lasted this long, because surely at some point, the son would be the only child and his father would kill him, and that would be the end of it? For it to work, they must always have other siblings to carry on the bloodline.
Tumblr media
Joshua Tiplin is giving me ADHD vibes, I'm not gonna lie.
Tumblr media
Dr Saltweather is an elderly distinguished gay, and Cook is also gay, and they're old gay bffs who hang out all day. Try to prove me wrong. I dare you. Either that or they're dating. I can't decide.
Tumblr media
Maybe dating. Old people dating is cute tbh. But if they are, they're still some flavour of queer. Probably ace.

Modern Masterpiece! This $7.5M Glass House in Dallas Is Clearly a Must-See
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
If you’re not the stone-throwing type and don’t mind washing windows, this modern home in Dallas, TX, fits the bill.
The three-bedroom residence on West Ricks Circle is made almost entirely of glass, 40 slabs of marble, and 60 tons of steel.
“It is a really special house. It’s a piece of art,” says the listing agent, Ryan Streiff. “It’s a good house in the day, but it’s spectacular at night.”
The home has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half-baths and is listed for $7.5 million. The current owners had the home custom-built, but never moved in.
“They put a ton of money into it and will not be recouping all [of it], so they’re pragmatic about the fact they’re going to be selling what was their vision to somebody else,” Streiff says.
Exterior
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
Streiff says the owners were inspired by the Farnsworth House in Plano, IL. The celebrated architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed that home in 1945, and completed it in 1951. It’s basically a glass box that floats above the ground. Today, the distinctive structure is a museum.
Joshua Nimmo is the architect who designed the Dallas home, with a similar floating design and a sleek and streamlined look. All the mechanics for the 6,325-square-foot dwelling are hidden under the house, in a 5-foot basement of sorts.
Exterior
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
The interior is sturdy with polished concrete floors, and most of the walls that aren’t glass are made of Calacatta marble.
A marble cube in the middle of the living space houses a powder room and entry closet.
The kitchen is sleek and long, with gorgeous cabinetry and most of the Miele appliances hidden from view. The interior designer William Nash created the indoor space.
Interior
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
Kitchen
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
“It was designed to host large parties and spill out on the terraces and the lawns,” Streiff explains, adding that the acoustics are excellent, thanks to the custom-designed ceilings.
Streiff envisions the potential buyers as “extremely minimalist.” The house could, for example, serve as a second home for somebody who likes to entertain and might not live in the house year-round, he suggests.
In the master wing, the breathtaking master bathroom features black Agata marble, and brass fixtures designed to look like polished jewelry.
Streiff notes that the house displays some “incredible” engineering feats, given the weight of the marble slabs used.
Bathroom
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
“The fixtures are really high-end,” Streiff says.”They didn’t spare any expense.”
The bathroom floors are heated, and the bathtub and shower are white. The drawers next to the sinks are made of marble and needed specially designed motors to be opened and closed, due to their weight.
Bathroom
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
Even though the house is made of glass, it has a private feel, Streiff adds. The landscape architect David Hocker designed the grounds surrounding the home, to take advantage of the live oaks and red oaks on the property.
Grounds
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
“You can’t see into the house from the street at all,” Streiff says. “There’s a thick hedge going across the front and a canopy of live oaks.”
The back area has a metal fence covered with ivy.
“There’s all these layers to give privacy,” the agent added, to allow for the possibility of lighting the whole house up at night.
Interior
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
Hocker also designed a reflective pool made of black granite that could potentially be used a swimming pool, if a buyer desires.
As currently configured, the circular body of water is mainly there for looks.
“It’s just this wonderful trickling sound, and it runs over the edge of the circular pool,” says Streiff, who adds that it sounds something like a river.
Pool
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
There is a four-car garage with racing track lights, configured for a car collector.
Hidden doors will hide anything an owner stores in the garage, without adding clutter. You can’t even see the mechanism that makes the garage door go up and down.
Garage
Costa Christ/Stephen Reed
The home sits on 1.33 acres in Hillcrest Estates, a neighborhood where all of the homes are on an acre or more.
“In Dallas, if you’re zoned for 1 acre-plus, you could still technically have livestock, two per acre,” Streiff explains.
This home, though, is built more for art than animals.
“It was designed for empty nesters, art enthusiasts, particularly those who might have a sculpture collection, because it would be an amazing setting to have sculptures positioned all around the home,” he says. “I would say well-heeled buyers, but probably not many with kids.”

M. W. Turner and Thomas Girtin, and Renaissance masterpieces by Giovanni Bellini, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto and El Greco.
