Baron Von Steuer
week 15! "nicknamed 'the tax collector' by the thirians of the valley, he is a wretched spirit of pure greed, valuing nothing besides his own wealth and riches.. he doesnt even realize hes dead, gleefully dancing around on his mountain of stolen wealth. few remember his life, but long ago, he was once one of the financial founders of misenheim, investing his whole fortune into it.. with its incredible prosperity, he made his investment back 100x fold, losing his mind to pure glee.. he made even the other barons seem poor. he practically owned the kingdom's wealth, and only wanted more. he pulled away from the valley, losing his mind and life to his wealth. for his whole life, he was a husk of a man, and now, he was even less than that. through his wealth, he managed to procure a method to extract 1% of the coin from every transaction in the valley, a tax almost matching that of the empire's, while contributing absolutely nothing.. a literal leech on the economy, contributing to the growing instability across the kingdom even at the end of the world, he went out of his way to take advantage of the situation, trading basic amenities for the fortunes of anyone trying to flee and survive. many were swindled out of their life's savings for what would be pocket change to the baron and his merchants. he is, without a doubt, the most hated individual in the valley, and there are groups dedicated to hunting him down in his elusive hiding place, and blasting his cackling skull to pieces" -the historian, 406sd hi hi! here is week 15! took me about 4 hours, and has only 144 unique colors. i figured ive been posting too many cutesy characters, so i wanted to draw a villain >:3. anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Fuck, marry, kill- Ratliff edition
If you have to choose one of the Ratliff men for each action above, what would it be?
Here are my choices:
Fuck Tim. I mean, take a look at this dandified wealthy daddy- can't forget his nice cock. Besides, I think that man needs to unload a lot of pain, sorrow and tension into something. Or someone. And don't give this man a gun!
Marry Saxon. For me it's clear as sun because he's the most attractive one. Also, after his brotherly trauma he might finally get his shit together. Maybe fixing his dad's finances will make him the cast-iron bum Alpha he should be. So yeah, I want these family jewels next to me.
Kill Lochlan. No doubt he is cute, kind and sensitive, but drugs or no drugs- you shouldn't have sex with your siblings! I know that family got issues but no monk will help him with his beyond the pale sexual desires. Sorry but once you eat the forbidden fruit you get punished.
Feel free to comment your choices :)

Sometimes i wish i was born wealthy. Not for personal use but so i could use money to give others an opportunity they wouldnt have originally have had in life. Money is needed in order to make any sort of change. Not everybody is born into an environment where they are set up for success. If anything they live FAR from it and Its heartbreaking to realize some of the paths people take is because they had no other option. Some choices can simply mean being able to have food and shelter. I wish there was MORE i could do to change the world.
“To be poor but content is actually to be quite rich. But you can have endless riches and still be as poor as anyone if you are always afraid of losing your riches.”
Othello, William Shakespeare
Original quote: "Poor and content is rich, and rich enough, / But riches fineless is as poor as winter / To him that ever fears he shall be poor."
I’ve found that a lot of people, including myself, have trouble visualizing exactly how much a billion dollars is-- this is a very helpful source that not only effectively shows the vast scale of billionaires’ wealth, but explains what we could potentially do with that much money. (I don’t own the site, all credit goes to Matt Korostoff: https://mkorostoff.github.io/)
716 billion dollars. Seven hundred sixteen billion U.S. dollars.
One billion is equal to a thousand millions. This is seven hundred sixteen billion. This is an insane amount of money.
Think of the millions of human beings on this planet who don’t have homes, who don’t have jobs, who wonder whether they’re going to be able to afford to eat tomorrow. Then think about the seven hundred sixteen billion dollars that we spent on the military. Just in 2019.

This ^ source says it was 732 billion dollars from October 2018 to September 2019. I’m sure you could find different sources listing 705 billion, or 720 billion. The exact number does not matter. The fact is that there are people dying of hunger while this unfathomable amount of money goes to the military.

This ^ source isn’t related to the military budget or other government spending, but I found it to be useful in helping to understand exactly how much a billion is. We could help so many people with 716 billion dollars.
