Does he actually have any formal qualifications in marketing, or does he just self-identify as a “branding expert”?

Nathen's face is that of a man who long ago has renounced any belief in traditional, stifling copyright conventions. Because simply though becoming an entergager (read rich failson) one is granted the rights to get haram with others' intellectual property. Like publishing astroturfing posters for unironic vegan pokemon merch, and without the slightest chance of trademark infringement.

He was branded as a branding expert by the worlds oldest youngest Garfield license franchise.

There is nothing in that chocolate tweet to indicate this store has been closed for almost two years and he hasn't held that license for 18 months. It seems like it is offering free chocolate for ordering.

Nathen is a very poor writer and also a genuinely crazy person so I don't know why people are shocked he can't get his tenses right. I'm not even sure he understands the concept of linear time.

“Sourced”. It’s literally just a “do you remember when” post. You’re absolutely correct that it’s not clear though

He seems to have grown a year younger recently, which seems like something that could create some confusion in your life.

Unless he just copy-pasted some old ad copy for that tweet, of course. Or he just forgot how his world-youngest-garfield-licence-holder-age is even supposed to work in relation to his real age.

Or he just removed it to give himself a treat.

When you are as odd as Nathen, there is no shortage of possible explanations.

It's into the realm of narcissism for an Arab failson on an allowance to cast himself as a Superhero for starting a website where you can get branded merch, and desperately always trying to get free labor to do his business endeavors from his "fans".

Superheroes are a fantasy, as is eGeez ever haviing any company sell stuff through it, as is anyone ever doing a significant amount of unpaid work for Nathen.

He is nothing if not unrealistic.

he’s a gay man or some kind of queer esp given past posts here seeing him in circuit parties and on Grindr or w/e. but that wouldn’t necessarily get you anything good, especially if you had to go back to Dubai with him to visit daddy. seems like a good way to end up dead tbh. the only safe option given that is ‘cis woman,’ as going over there as a tran seems like a very bad idea

In the dark days of Nathan's childhood there was only the modest humor of the Garfield comic strip and the dim haze of his mother's Valium to cut through his father's icy disapproval.

Make a Grindr profile for a giant stuffed Garfield and you have a winner.

You’ve seen the video he posted making out with a giant stuffed Garfield while eye loving the camera right? I’d say if anything, he enjoys Garfield a little too much.

Performative and somehow still purely surface-level interest in things seems pretty common amongst malignant e-ntrepreneurs like this piece of poo poo. If he had a genuine appreciation or understanding for anything he would be able to produce actual ideas instead of the vague whispers of them

Nathen's dad isn't like a Saudi Prince, he's rich but not super wealthy, Nathen's occasional displays of conspicuous consumption are pretty modest. Yeah, he spent 8-10k on a shopping spree once, maybe. If he was really on some crazy allowance he wouldn't be constantly trying to get "fanvestors" to "fanvest" for free.

I think he never really has to work, he can't buy a yacht or probably even rent one for a weekend.

Living with a semi-closeted gay guy [celibate] who is quite possibly mentally ill and a narcissist and also wants to pretend to be super rich but in fact has to live on a fairly strict budget and has delusions of competence and grandeur while constantly self-promoting sounds remarkably close to the 2nd circle of hell to me.
