Eurovision Fact #678:

In preparation for the making of his Eurovision-based movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, Will Ferrell attended the 2018 contest. He watched in the audience during the first Semi-Final and met some of try contestants backstage.

In 2019, Ferrell and his co-star Rachel McAdams went to the 2019 contest together.

A small twisting sensation at your hair pulls you out of your deep sleep. You squint, rubbing the sleep away from your eyes, as the events of the night slowly come back to you.

Alexander hosted a huge pre-Eurovision party, socialising, getting to know everybody. You felt extremely out of place just being a runner on the set, surrounded by all these amazing singers. But you and Alexander just... clicked. He ended up inviting you. You got a little carried away... wait... you got carried away....

You jump awake and see Alexander lying next to you. Your head on his lap as he braids your hair. You furrow your eyebrows in confusion at the sight, your mind them flashes back to last night.

"'Zander? Last night... did we... you know?"

"Oh no no I am gentleman", he rests his hand on his chest, further emphasising that he was honourable.

You start to calm down, Alexander can't help but frown slightly, thinking there's a possibility you were repulsed at the idea of being together. Of course, that was the opposite. You liked Alexander. A lot. He was very sweet to you, most people would barely even look in your direction, nevermind inviting you to the party of the year. But you wanted to remember your time with him, not waste him as a drunken one night stand.

Two quick knocks on the bedroom door break the awkward silence.

Alexander greets them, "зайди (zaydi)" [come in]

A lady about your age pushes a trolley, closhes covering what you imagine is food. Alexander points, talking to the lady in Russian, presumably instructions where to leave the trolley. She wheels it over to his side of the bed, about arms length away, and promptly leaves, closing the door behind her.

"Some of my personal favourite hangover cures", he explains.

With your head still on Alexander's lap, he reaches over to uncover some of the dishes. He grabs a strawberry, holding it towards your mouth. You bite into it and realise they're chocolate coated, melting on your tongue. The fruit is deliciously ripe, so juicy some accidently dribbles out of your mouth as you bite down.

"Well? How is it?", he looks at you intently.

Your hand instinctively goes to wipe away the juice at your mouth, but Alexander stops you, grabbing your wrist.

"Actually, don't tell me."

Alexander places his thumb under your chin before kissing you, passionately. You close your eyes, feeling his lips wipe the juice away from the corner of yours. His tongue slides into your mouth, lapping up the flavours. Alexander pulls away, your eyes closed, licking your lips and savouring the taste.

"Mmm, you taste better than the strawberry", you look up at him, smiling.

Alexander smiles back, "Close your eyes".

You do as you're told, Alexander's body weight shifting from under you as he reaches over for another item. There's a pause, then another reach back. You can feel a finger on your bottom lip, signaling you to open your mouth. You comply, before feeling a rush of red wine fill your mouth, sealed with a kiss. The dry tang is the perfect pair to wash the strawberry down with, enhancing the leftover chocolate notes still dancing around on your tongue.

You open your eyes as you swallow the wine, moaning lightly as you do so, very turned on by the intimate act of Alexander spitting alcohol into your mouth.

"Your hangover cure is... more alcohol?", you realise.

"Hair of the dog, common Russian remedy."

"Are there... any other Russian remedies?", you look up at him, subtly biting your lip, your gaze drifting between his eyes and his mouth.

He smirks, "I can think of one."

Lars, do you believe in elves?

Lars: *is literally a medium and communicates with the ghost of a dead singer*

Lars: no

It's silly, but I think one of my favourite things about the Eurovision movie is that up until the semi-final, we don't get to hear any more than the first verse of Double Trouble before it gets cut off. So by the time we get to it, we've been teased by the opening of this damn song at least three times now, and we're dying to know how the rest of it goes. And so the performance starts, Fire Saga start singing, they reach the end of the first verse and stare into each other's eyes, and there's a brief pause, and you think 'oh shit, not again, what's gonna happen this time?'

...And then they turn to the camera and keep singing, and you think "Oh sweet! They're gonna do the whole song just like in a real semi-final!"

And then they do not do the whole song.

I just got the most cursed little image in my mind while listening to this song.

Halit-as-Süleyman singing Lion of Love from the Eurovision movie.

I just watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga for the first time and ??????? It was really fun! Deeply weird though. It had three good jokes that really worked for me:

1. Salvador Sobral’s song (I really love it, it won for a reason) being an absolutely magical piece of ost that was revealed to be sung by him as a street musician performing for money, which shows you the true cultural significance of the competition, sorry.

2. The fact that it was obvious from the first second that the Russian singer was gay.

3. Will Ferrell hating on Americans.

It’s really weird to know it’s an American movie because I don’t see it working out there at all. I liked everything that wasn’t straight from a script writer’s textbook (misunderstandings, forced conflict etc). But yeah, I had a lot of fun! It was weird!

Ficlet Advent Calendar 2022

In the past 3 years I was doing an advent calendar challenge to write a short fic every day from December 1 to 24. And since I was having a lot of fun with these little ficlets, I decided to do this challenge this year, too. (Although I’m not sure if I can finish it on time - I could only do that two years ago when the usual Christmas Chaos was cancelled due to covid)

Like in the previous years, I’ll be taking prompts as well: I have a list of Christmas/Winter writing prompts, so feel free to send me some with the characters and/or pairings you’d like me to write it, and I’ll add it to the challenge! Also, if something comes to your mind that’s not on the list, you can send me that, too! I only use the prompt list as a guideline anyways. Although I do reserve the right to say no to a prompt.

My advent calendar challenges are multifandom, so it can happen that in one chapter we have Mr Carson decorating the Christmas tree and in the next one Kingsman agents are having a sleepover. Just like in the previous years, you can expect some silly festive fluff with a bit of angst, and there will be Christmas sweaters as well.

Based on the current state of my brain, this year’s challenge will most probably be related to Top Gun (both films), Downton Abbey, Gossip Girl, Our Flag Means Death, Ted Lasso, and The Bodyguard (which is my Kingsman - Eurovision Song Contest crossover), but other fandoms might be involved as well, so if you have a prompt from a fandom that’s not on the list, please still send it in!

Also, this year I’ve decided to put together some “best of” posts from the previous challenges to give those fics some love, because some of them turned out pretty neat and when else shall I re-share my Christmas-themed fics than in December? Those will be organized by fandoms (like Christmas at Donwton) or by topics (Santa Claus or Snow).

Since this challenge will be quite intense, my other fics will be on hold, so there won’t be any updates on Dancing on the clouds below and on For a little bit of sunshine during the challenge. Although this doesn’t mean there will not be chapters set in the same verse as these fics. ;)

Lastly, if you’d like to be notified about the updates on the challenge, please let me know and I’ll add you to the tag list.

The pervious advent calendar challenges can be found here: 2019 I 2020 I 2021

And the prompt list is here. (It’s rebloggable, so others can use it, too)
