#GERMANY YOU BETTER WIN THO

[silkclove]

petition to keep both spain and germany in the euros and kick portugal and france out

[hawky-mc-hawkface]

I have theories about what has gone "wrong" so Germany came last (or at least contributed to this). Still i dont understand it. But here it goes. Not backed up by looking at the numbers again tho. Iam still in bed.

1. As there were no Jurys in the semis, only fan favourites were in the final. This means it was harder to get many Televoting Points, especially against songs like Finland or Sweden that were massivly more popular.

2. It also means there were less jury favourites in the final, thus the Jury Points are rather concentrated on only a handful of songs. But on the other hand we knew we couldn't count on the Jurys. But at least more than 3 Points would have been nice. (Looking at you Finnland)

3. Australia got an surprising amount of jury Points, i think because while also some kind of metal for diversity in the voting of a jury, its far more "mainstream" and softer than Lotl. Don't get me wrong, i like the song. But when the Jurys wanted to honor "metal" at Eurovison, they chose Australia and not Germany.

I mean that does not really explain last place to me, i like the song, i like the band, i liked the performance. It was something out of the ordinary. I didnt expect them to win, but come on... last place? Ok maybe the people were to distracted by Chris bulge... idk...

Also the poor Austrians. Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe. It was a certified BOP! You deserved better!

[rei-does-stuff]

Don’t be a coward.

France x America

This gives me an excuse to put my fic abt them here!

Context My France and America aren’t related like most other peoples hcs bc I’m an annoying contrarian

And I find the will they won’t they dynamic, friendly flirting between them a way funner dynamic, they aren’t together but they’re definitely at least a little into each other even if they won’t act on it

UK hates it bc hes hopelessly in love with france even tho she DOES NOT like him in the slightest like at all, like 0% like he is NEVER GONNA WIN HER EVER

Okay? Okay time for the bad fanfic now <3

—

Already the UK found this party atmosphere stifling, being a literal demon from hell usually had its perks but being the only who couldn’t get drunk wasn’t one of them. And god he wished he could drink away the sight before him.

“Oh Amé! You look ridiculous! Do you even know how to wear a tux properly? I swear the only thing you even know how to wear are those ugly sunglasses!” France teased.

“Ugly? Oh now you’re just insulting my poor heart! It’s very fragile, you know?” America said, feigning offense.

“Oh I bet, is that why you can’t even button your shirt properly?” France said as she went close to fix America’s clothes herself.

“Well if you have so many opinions maybe you should just dress me yourself?” America told her with a wink.

“Maybe I should, you’d look a lot better.”

“Oh so I already do look good?”

“Oh don’t flatter yourself, god knows your ego is big enough.” France laughed as she handed America a pocket mirror. “There we go, you look a million times better!”

“Well look at that! I guess ya have some talent!” America said as he looked at himself with France’s mirror.

“Don’t push your luck with me.”

“Oo scary! You could kill me that with that stare!” America teased.

“I hope I can, wipe that smug smile off your face for once!”

“Can’t help it with that priceless reaction of yours Frenchy! Why don’t I get you another glass of wine as a thank you gift? Hm?”

“Oh now you’re just trying to bribe me!” France scoffed.

“I didn’t hear a no!”

“Oh shut up! Hurry up, I don’t like waiting you know? Better make it two, as an apology for having to deal with you.”

“You got it baby!”

“Don’t call me that.”

“Can’t hear you, getting your wine!” America called out as he goes off to get France her wine. UK could have sworn he saw her smile a little.

As America went over to the bar he could see the UK glaring at him. “Woah, what’s with the scary look old man?” He asked.

“You did that on purpose didn’t you?”

“Did what?”

“Dress all ridiculous! You were trying to get her attention, that’s cheap even for you!” The UK said bitterly.

“Uh? Duh? It worked didn’t it? You sound angry man!” America almost immediately realized what was going on though. Surprising, for him. “Ohh right, you’re like really into France aren’t you? Oh you must’ve been pretty pissed huh? Ha! Oh man, I was wondering why you were creep-watching us you weirdo!” He laughed.

“You’re not funny.”

“She doesn’t think so! Oh don’t look at me like that, I’m not gonna do anything like THAT. I ain’t into French girls.” America said nonchalantly.

“So what’s even the point?”

“Uh? Because I’m a grown ass man who can do whatever the hell he wants. Plus knowing it pisses you makes me wanna do it even more? Maybe I should sleep with her now honestly….Relax! Relax! Stop death glaring at me I’m only kidding!”

“What the hell does she even see in you? You’re a mess!” The UK exclaimed.

“A hot, funny, charming mess! That’s my appeal! Sorry to say but most women aren’t into sad bitter old men dude.” America said.

“I can be charming!”

“Can you though? I mean even Germany can get a date and he’s not even into that crap!” America said, he looked back at France who looked like she was getting impatient. “Ah shit! Gotta run, look man, instead of sitting here brooding and watching us like a weirdo, try to do something! Or I dunno, maybe try getting with someone else cause she is INTO me!” He laughed as he left with the wine.

UK growled seeing them talking, but the twat’s words did kick in, probably wasn’t a good idea to keep staring at him, if he was gonna get France’s attention be was gonna have to try harder…

But for now the sight of them together was making him sick enough to leave, tomorrow though? He’d make sure that American stood no chance against him.

Basically UK gets cucked, the fic! Not that great but I haven’t written ch stuff in a bit so shhhhh

[frozencapybara]

It’s EUROVISON 2024 AW YEAH, time for semifinal 1! (which was yesterday, I'm just getting around to posting)

My rankings for Semifinal 1, best to worst: Croatia & Ireland (tied); Finland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Slovenia, Serbia, everyone else

And all seven qualified! That never happens. Even better, there weren’t any acts i couldn’t stand - nobody ranked lower than “eh, it’s fine”. That’ll probably change with semi 2 but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

Notes on all the acts behind the readmore:

Note that all this is based purely on the semifinal broadcast and zero research, just initial thoughts.

Cyprus (qualified): I understand you don’t want your backup dancers to upstage your outfit, but please consider something a bit more than “what I could grab off Target’s discount rack”? Overall a decent if not memorable entry.

Serbia (qualified): I’m not usually a fan of ballads, but this isn’t bad, and the Hot Topic On a Rock (affectionate) staging put it a cut above the usual.

Lithuania (qualified): Outfits from the Talking Heads Factory Outlet on Arrakis (affectionate). Slightly 80s new wave vibes, in a good way. Not my absolute top choice, but I would absolutely not be mad if this wins.

Ireland (qualified): OH SHIT THIS SLAPS SO HARD. Love a good scream session. Top pick. Very likely to be my “I’m super mad this only got two votes” entry.

Ukraine (qualified): Ukraine loves them a mid-song rap breakdown, which isn’t always my fave but much like in 2021, they make it work for them. Singer has a heck of a vocal range. Won’t be mad if it wins.

Poland (did not qualify): Good staging, mid song. Singer keeps saying she built this tower, which seems somewhat disrespectful to the stagecraft crew. Unless she did help, in which case I retract my objection.

Croatia (qualified): OH SHIT THIS SLAPS SO HARD. I was expecting Peak Eurovision Nonsense out of Croatia, but this just straight up slaps. I’m bad at predicting but I honestly hope this has a chance in the finals.

Iceland (did not qualify): Iceland heard they were gonna be in Sweden and sent the ABBA they had at home. It’s a perfectly cromulent example of what it is, but I’m not vibing with it.

Slovenia (qualified): Reminds me of Loreen, but not in a bad way. Tick off your “sheer bodysuit” bingo square. Overall a good pick.

Finland (qualified): Most Peak Eurovision Nonsense of the semifinal. Love it.

Moldova (did not qualify): Look it’s fine, but I have expectations for Moldova based on past performances and this did not meet them. Also a huge waste of a violin solo.

Azerbaijan (did not qualify): If you told me Azerbaijan was going to bring a ballad to Eurovision, this is exactly what I would have expected. It’s fine, but I’m not sad it didn’t advance.

Australia (did not qualify): I kept going back and forth on this one. On the one hand, it gave big Prime-Time TV Appropriate Message energy. On the other hand, didgeridoo? Overall, not mad it didn’t advance. Especially since Australia will never win Eurovision (sorry Australians, you know it’s true tho) so if they’re going to take a finals slot they better bring it.

Portugal (qualified): As ballads go, it’s decent. It is still a ballad. Points for not being in English.

Luxembourg (qualified): I don’t think this will win the final, but it does have a shot at taking the obligatory “conventionally attractive young woman shaking her ass to a pop song” vote (not derogatory, just, it’s a specific eurovision category). I don’t hate it, it’s a bop, I prefer Cyprus’s song in that category but Luxembourg’s staging is better.

Bonus already-qualified songs:

UK: Homoerotic boxing match in zero-G is a staging choice and I’m here for it. Too bad the song doesn’t live up to it. It’s fine.

Germany: Staging: [this is fine dot gif]. Song: I have never heard a song be more Eurovision Bait (derogatory) in my life. Boring. Try harder Germany, I know you can do it.

Sweden: Bland white boys in the Borg cube. The lyrics are “she’s unforgettable” which is ironic as I’ve already forgotten the song.

EUROVISION ABSOLUTE FUCKING BRAIN DUMP

Tonight, the night where... some... of Europe comes together and sings in an ..... something way, is the night I am willing to barf my brain out onto a page and commentate on the entire thing start to finish. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!! Strap in motherfuckers....

We started the evening with the performance of last year's winner Ukraine (MWAH) starring Kate Middleton for some reason and Sam Ryder stood on top of some building in Liverpool. I had totally forgotten how earwormy that song was. I literally can't get it out of my head even now. We saw the countries come out onto stage to a very random compilation it seemed. I think Australia stole Germany's flag though.

PERFORMANCE 1 : ALBANIA- WHO THE HELL IS EDGAR? - TEYA & SALENA I'm not lying here when I say I LOVED this song. I loved how it took so much inspiration from Michael Jackson in the dance moves. The girl with the black hair was mind-blowing. Like, she was unbelievably gorgeous. I'm not saying the other one wasn't- they were both incredible. I loved how much colour and enthusiasm they seemed to have. IT WAS SO RANDOM AND I FREAKING LOVED IT. Rank no.5

PERFORMANCE 2 : PORTUGAL- AI CORAÇÃO- MIMICAT The dress. Oh my god that dress was DIVINE. I loved how like bright it was to be honest. It was just so dramatic and it felt like it had a lot of variety. I don't really know why it just really appealed to me. Her voice is DIVINE too. Rank no.6

PERFORMANCE 3 : SWITZERLAND- WATERGUN- REMO FORRER I'm not lying when I say that this song brought a tear to my eye. It was so moving but god, that guy needed to put a few more clothes on. I really liked it. Remo Forrer can sing so beatifully and yet I didn't know who he was before tonight. That low note made my jaw drop. Powerful. All I can say really. The guy also reminded me of Noah Schnapp for some goddamn insane reason. Rank no.7

PERFORMANCE 4 : POLAND- SOLO- BLANKA I had to rewatch it cause it was kind of forgettable. Felt like it had been done so much before. I don't mean any hate by this but I just didn't like it. I wasn't as WOW as other songs have been. It gave me the vibe of the Stuck In The Middle theme mixed with Despacito. It just didn't feel if you know what I mean. Rank no.23

PERFORMANCE 5 : SERBIA- SAMO MI SE SPAVA- LUKE BLACK Perfection. It was so.... I don't have words for it. It was just fantastic. It showed so much talent and I loved the Graham Norton description of the nerdiness and that definitely came across so incredibly in the performance. It was just like smoke sweat and tears. I LOVED THE VIDEO GAME BIT. It's a great song, it's a wonderful performance. It's the best. Also, take a moment to consider how fit the guy was. This was no doubt the best act in my opinion but I know not many people have the same opinions as me so I'm accepting the fact that he's probably not gonna win. Rank no.1

PERFORMANCE 6 : FRANCE- LA ZARRA- Évidement It had such a french vibe to it for some reason. It's stuck in my head. I really enjoyed it to be honest. The outfit was genuinely on point and the vocals were stunning. The chorus kinda gave me Dua Lipa vibes but there's nothing wrong with that is there. The lyrics were kinda dramatic. Overall, I ate it up. Freaking glorious song there was just a lot of good competition. Rank no.10

PERFORMANCE 7 : CYPRUS- BREAK A BROKEN HEART- ANDREW LAMBROU Not memorable. It was quite sad. He's got a good voice, there were just better songs to be honest. It was quite repetetitive. I didn't enjoy it particularly it was just there. A few more layers would be nice. He sung quite high and it wasn't necessarilly appealing. THE FIRE THO. That arena must have been so hot. His voice at the end was beautiful, fight me. Rank no.16

PERFORMANCE 8 : SPAIN- EAEA- BLANCA PALOMA The bit at the beginning with the vocalisations (I think that's what they're called) was incredible. It gave off quite a middle eastern movie vibe which I wasn't expecting from Spain. Her top genuinely looked like it had been melted by heat which made me laugh. It gave off a Satanic ritual vibe. I liked the song but the electronic parts really didn't fit her talented and gorgeous voice. Rank no.22

PERFORMANCE 9 : SWEDEN- TATTOO- LOREEN I loved the vibes she gave off espescially in the introduction bit to the song, she looked like a batty pintrest witch which is a look I adore. Her hair was just stunning but for some reason it didn't look real, I don't know. THE NAILS!! God, they were so long. Her whole set was just tattooine(hmm maybe she thought about that) to me. It gave Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus. I really liked it. The whole song was so nice. There's not really any other way to say it than that. I really liked it though. I'm happy it was her that won. Rank no.12

PERFORMANCE 10 : ALBANIA- DUJE- ALBINA & FAMILJA KELMENDI I really looked forward to this one because it was a family quite like me and my siblings but I felt quite sorry because only one of the girls really got to sing in it. You could tell who was the favourite child. I loved the sister's outfits and the bit where it basically turned into the parents' love song was great. It was a good performance but it wasn't anything special. Rank no.15

10 down, 16 to go!

PERFORMANCE 11 : ITALY- DUE VITA- MARCO MENGONI I liked the top, make me one. He has a gorgeous voice. It was quite moving in some ways but I did get distracted by the trampoline guys in the back. I LOVED THEM. The lyrics were a bit random, I had it on translating subtitles. It was okay, I didn't think it was anything special though. It was a sway with your arms in the air type of song. He's such a good singer, I swear, I just didn't love the song. Rank no.19

PERFORMANCE 12 : ESTONIA- BRIDGES- ALIKA It was a magical song. I really enjoyed how it gave off fairy Elsa vibes for some reason. I don't really have many words it was just lovely. She has such an incredible voice. I loved her outfit as well it was fabulous. It was just a gorgeous song, I really liked it. She has such a powerful voice. It was divine. Rank no.8

PERFORMANCE 13 : FINLAND- CHA CHA CHA- KÄÄRIJÄ If you're here for a specific song, it's probably gonna be this one. The hulk forgets to put on his chestpiece and he's on the stage at Eurovision singing a heavy-metal-techno-pop number. I still can't understand what the fuck this song was about. It's really confusing but it's a bop. I'm just blasting out CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA in my brain the whole time. I really liked it. It was a proper random Eurovision song and I LIVE for em. The guy's got a good voice on him though, the prolonged shouting must have been hard. Rank no.9

PERFORMANCE 14 : CZECHIA- MY SISTER'S CROWN- VESNA It gave ballet recital gone wrong for me. It sounded a bit too like the winning song from last year for my liking but it was incredible with the harmonies. I didn't really get the hair message. They were doing feminism stuff but sticking directly to the gender roles traditionally set which I didn't understand. It was powerful and I did like it. Rank no.18

PERFORMANCE 15 : AUSTRALIA- PROMISE- VOYAGER I love watching forty odd year olds dance around on stage like they're twenty one. It felt like someone had gone through my playlist, taken the best bits from each song and melted them into a pot together. It is an anthem and I adore that. I loved the woman on guitar. She was so good. I loved the vibes it sounded like it could be in a video game and honest to god it was one of my favourites of the night. Rank no.3

PERFORMANCE 16 : BELGIUM- BECAUSE OF YOU- GUSTAPH The Boy George vibes were real. His outfit gave rich man goes on safari but there's been an incident with a red sock. It was a BOP like literally. I just wanted to do the macerena the whole time. The start bit reminded me of a musical I can't remember the name of. It was kind of repetetive which I didn't like. It was okay to be honest. Shoutout to the guy who was willing to be a furry stripper for this. Rank no.17

PERFORMANCE 17 : ARMENIA- FUTURE LOVER- BRUNETTE The singer gave me Ariana Grande vibes. It was average. It was a bit like an I'm not like other girls. She has a lovely voice but it did get quite lost in the other countries amazingnesses. It didn't really stick in my head so I had to rewatch the full thing whereas with most of the others I either don't have to watch it or I only need a memory jog. The getup was stunning. The boots should have had black laces though, it would've fit do much better. She's incredibly talented but there were better songs. Rank no.21

PERFORMANCE 18 : MOLDOVA- SOARELE ŞI LUNA- PASHA PARFENI Welcome to the stage... satanic yoga teacher. I liked it. It was so European. It was a great watch. It reminded me of the Mandolorian theme which is a massive compliment in my book. The horny women were great. (They had horns in their hair.) It was very Eurovision esque and I really liked it. It was quite funny and my little brother voted for it. Great song. Rank no.13

PERFORMANCE 19 : UKRAINE- HEART OF STEEL- TVORCHI After last year, I had very high hopes for Ukraine. I enjoyed it. I really liked all the staging it was stunning but it didn't stand out to me very much. The phantom of the opera guy got the night off though! It was a great song. It would be great at a festival, I can see it now. I don't have a ton to say about it. It was good but not mind-blowing. Rank no.14

PERFORMANCE 20 : NORWAY- QUEEN OF THE KINGS- ALESSANDRA This whole song makes make me want to yell with happiness. It just like scratches my brain for some reason. It was the only song this year that I had heard before and even though I had, it did not disappoint. I swear it was a whole vibe. Her outfit was literally straight from SIX, bite me. I loved it. I loved every second of it but there were better songs. The high note showed talent. I mean, I can do it but, but it still shows years of effort and training. Rank no.11

Only 6 left!

PERFORMANCE 21 : GERMANY- BLOOD & GLITTER- LORD OF THE LOST HUGE SLAY. I loved it. In my honest opinion, I would've loved it to be in German but I do speak German so it wouldn't be that hard to understand. They really reminded me of Ghost with the whole red satan type vibe and the song itself. The makeup was FINE! I mean that in an attractive way. The start was so INCREDIBLE. He looked and sounded quite like Bowie and if you know me, you know I love Bowie. The heavy metal singing was on point. I'm suprised that they came last because they were pretty much tied with Serbia in my book I decided the ranks at like 1 am and my 1 am thoughts are always the best. Rank no.2

PERFORMANCE 22 : LITHUANIA- STAY- MONIKA LINKYTÉ The start made me think of the Lion King- just getting that off my chest before I dive into this one. It was lovely, it was beautiful but that's not really the winning characteristics. It was incredible. It gave off the sort of 2014 'Fight Song' vibe which I feel has been done so much already. I want to be able to mark this one higher but I feel I can't because of how high rated the other songs are. Rank no.20

PERFORMANCE 23 : ISRAEL- UNICORN- NOA KIREL Before I say anything, this is just me putting my opinions out there to get them off my head. I really didn't like this song. It was weird and it wasn't a song that I enjoyed watching. It's started off okay with a slight Melanie Martinez vibe but honestly shit hit the fan pretty quickly. It turned into a feminine anthem and, to me, all those songs sound the same. The worst bit was the bit where she said watch me dance and stripped off and basically became a stripper in her dance moves. There were children watching. You can't do that. Rank no.26

PERFORMANCE 24 : SLOVENIA- CARPE DIEM- JOKER OUT This was one of my favourite songs of the night. I adored the whole performance. It was like a step back into the past when Eurovision wasn't as big of an event and they didn't have all the feathers and glitter. It felt quite wholesome to me for an unknown reason. Personally, I don't think it was Eurovision standard. It was a lot more indie than all the other songs and it popped out of the page because of that. It had a very different view and appearance to the viewers. I have listened to this song about five times this morning I like it so much. Special mention to the guitarist because you look fantabulous. Like, you're so good-looking I can't understand wether it's gender envy or attraction. I loved the fits by the way. Rank no.4

PERFORMANCE 25 : CROATIA- MAMA ŠČ- Let 3 This performance made me really uncomfortable. They looked like a rip off of the YMCA and the song wasn't that good to be honest. It was just a bunch of people's grandads singing a dumb army style song and then stripping off. It wasn't enjoyable, it was very mildly funny and I just really didn't like it. It wasn't as bad as Israel or the UK though. Rank no.24

PERFORMANCE 26 : UK- I WROTE A SONG- MAE MULLER It was really just a mid song. She doesn't have the nicest voice and the song choice emphasised that. It was really repetetive and definately deserved the ranking it got. I do feel sorry for Mae though, she must have tried so hard. The staging wasn't that appealing and her outfit didn't fit the set. I would probably rate it 5/10 if I was doing that but I'm not. There was a lot of good competition and it simply wasn't as good. Rank no.25

AND THAT'S A WRAP MY DUDES!!

I think Tattoo winning was a great descision. It isn't one I would've made but it really stood out. I do think Germany deserved a lot more than it was given and I feel extremely sorry for Spain who only got 5 points for the public because that must've hurt.

Shoutout to Sam Ryder with his really nice song at the end, I though it was great. Also, they managed to get ROGER TAYLOR for it. FREAKING ROGER TAYLOR!!!

Have a nice day/night reader and I hope you return next year for another unnecessarily long Eurovision rant.

‘i wrote a song’ well maybe you shouldn’t have

circus mircus

[wakemeupinmay]

My thoughts on the Eurovision songs this year

1. 🇦🇱 Albania - Duje - Albina & Familja Kelmendi

VERY dramatic, but I could shake my ass to the part in which she isn’t singing

2. 🇦🇲 Armenia - Future Lover - Brunette

„I just wanna make art, read books, be loved and called a good girl“ okay ma'am that’s everyone ur not special

3. 🇦🇺 Australia - Promise - Voyager

Do we know why they are headbanging this much? It couldn’t be bc of this song right?

4. 🇦🇹 Austria - Who the hell is Edgar? - Teya & Salena

Not often is a song made spicier by adding some church singing

5. 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan - Tell me more - TuralTuranX

I have just watched the video for the third time and I start to suspect that there is more than one guy singing, I could be wrong tho

6. 🇧🇪 Belgium - Because of you - Gustaph

He looks like a gay musketeer + weirdly enough this song doesn’t make me want to dance, it makes me want to walk???

7. 🇭🇷 Croatia - Mama ŠČ - Let 3

Thankfully for them I love chaos and not knowing what is going on, BUT I did get scared for a second when they undressed

8. 🇨🇾 Cyprus - Break a broken heart - Andrew Lambrou

I am mesmerized but that won’t get me to like the song :/

9. 🇨🇿 Czechia - My sister‘s crown - Vesna

Idk guys, is this a good song or does it just have a good message? It doesn’t bop for me, I’m so sorry I tried

10. 🇩🇰 Denmark - Breaking my heart - Reiley

Okay, do we also have a version in which we can hear his voice in the chorus better? Thanks, the distorted one playing over his singing is a no no. I dig the outfit tho 10/10 very cute

11. 🇪🇪 Estonia - Bridges - Alika

Don’t worry guys, Estonia is bringing the compulsory piano to the contest this year

12. 🇫🇮 Finland - Cha Cha Cha - Käärijä

Very entertaining and very eurovision by the hulk goblin king, very appreciated by me :)

13. 🇫🇷 France - Évidemment - La Zarra

This. woman. has. the. most. snatched. waist. I. have. ever. seen. Other than that, once again France does what it does best, which is being french

14. 🇬🇪 Georgia - Echo - Iru

Did she get turned into a white worm halfway through? + They surely get the award of „lyrics that make the least sense“ this year. „THIS FEELING IS LORD“

15. 🇩🇪 Germany - Blood & Glitter - Lord of the lost

So happy for Germany leaving its shell for once but maybe reconsider the red latex suit. Otherwise they are really cute and make me smile

16. 🇬🇷 Greece - What they say - Victor Vernicos

How did Greece get Tom Shelby’s son dressed like a school boy from the 1940ies to sing about his hurt feelings?

17. 🇮🇸 Iceland - Power - Diljá

So sad Iceland couldn’t keep up the streak of rly good entries. Unfortunately this song holds no PPPPower over me

18. 🇮🇪 Ireland - We are one - Wild Youth

Don’t worry guys, our knights in shining masks are here to save us. Not rly tho, the song is not that much fun :/

19. 🇮🇱 Israel - Unicorn - Noa Kirel

A song called Unicorn has no business being this serious

20. 🇮🇹 Italy - Due vite - Marco Mengoni

What can I tell u…. It’s definitely Italys entry + Does he sound like an italian Michael Jackson???

21. 🇱🇻 Latvia - Aijā - Sudden Lights

The last time I saw lights like these on stage Germany got 0 points, be careful Latvia

22. 🇱🇹 Lithuania - Stay - Monika Linkytė

What does Čiūto tūto mean?

23. 🇲🇹 Malta - Dance (our own party) - The Busker

I see you Malta, trying to have your own little epic sax moment

24. 🇲🇩 Moldova - Soarele si Luna - Pasha Parfeni

This felt like a spiritual fever dream + gotta love the nuns in the crowd

25. 🇳🇱 Netherlands - Burning Daylight - Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper

This song is all the stages of grief I go through once my favourite does not win eurovision

26. 🇳🇴 Norway - Queen of Kings - Alessandra

Aye aye captain we stan! BUT I would have looooved if the show (costumes, dance,…) were a cringey eurovisiony pirate thing

27. 🇵🇱 Poland - Solo - Blanka

Why is it giving parody of rich spoiled brat that thinks she can sing bc daddy said so?

28. 🇵🇹 Portugal - Ai Coração - Mimicat

I like it, it’s not a ballad and fun also she looks exactly how I would imagine a Mimicat

29. 🇷🇴 Romania - D.G.T. (Off and On) - Theodor Andrei

I didn’t expect to be going to an underage bondage strip club tonight.

30. 🇸🇲 San Marino - Like an animal - Piqued Jacks

He is giving me mixed signals. Am I sexy Aphrodite or do I stink and am poisonous? Why is he chasing me? Is that good or bad? I’m worried

31. 🇷🇸 Serbia - Samo mi she spava - Luke Black

He is very much Melovin coded but I do connect with the message an awful lot

32. 🇸🇮 Slovenia - Carpe Diem - Joker Out

It’s good, I get the hype, curious what they’ll do on stage tho

33. 🇪🇸 Spain - Eaea - Blanca Paloma

Is it allowed to perform religious rituals on stage?

34. 🇸🇪 Sweden - Tattoo - Loreen

After that huge TV fell on that one kpop performers head this performance makes me extra nervous

35. 🇨🇭 Switzerland - Watergun - Remo Forrer

Don’t worry Remo, Switzerland is one of the safest countries on earth

36. 🇺🇦 Ukraine - Heart of Steel - Tvorchi

I think I have never been more surprised by a country sending a generic pop song. Or maybe it was to be expected the most rn. It’s not bad by any means but also def not a winner and everyone knows that

37. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom - I wrote a song - Mae Muller

If I don’t see the name Mae Muller on the writing credits to this song I will absolutely throw a fit

(List of videos I watched)

[six-paths-of-jeanmarco]

OGAE Second Chance Contest 2023 (My Top)

inspired by @residentraccoon's post and this one video yt keeps recommending me even tho I haven't enjoyed the lame karaoke party they also happened to host the contest at that much

#TODOSJUNTOS World Cup 2022: a review

8 years ago, I wrote a review for WC’14 to remind me that all of my fave teams won the medals; Gold for Germany, Argentina the silver, and the Netherlands got bronze. As for WC’18 I wrote none because of Argentina’s catastrophic result. And now after the La Scaloneta fucking finally became the World Champion I know I have to write how history is being made from my point of view.

And to write better I also know I have to sort out all information that I have before I put it into words. The problem is, tho it has been a week since the most stressful night, my emotion is still fucking raw from what happened, and my head is dizzy thanks to my PMS, but I want to write it soon while my memory is still fresh. So, pardon my messy review.

I start this by telling you what I did an hour before Qatar played their first game against Ecuador. I went to google to know the players who’ll play this year. I wanted to check how many familiar names I know since I am no longer an avid soccer/football fan like I used to be in the past.

For starter, Der Panzer. They still have Neuer, Muller, Kimmich, Gotze, and Gundogan. As for Argentina even though I claim myself as their fan but tbh I really am not familiar with them since their last 2018 squad, so I only know Messi, Dybala, Di Maria, and Otamendi. Netherland: Van Dijk, Depay, De Ligt, and Blind. Spain: Busquets, Morata, Asensio, Dani Carvajal, and Jordi Alba. France: Mbappe, Griezzman, Giroud, Lloris, Dembele, Varane, Pavard, and Coman. Some other familiar players: CR7, Pepe, Suarez, Cavani, Ochoa, Modric, Harry Kane, and Maguire.

And then I also looked out to which games that worth watching because my old body can no longer wake up at 02.00 am to see my fave teams play.

You’d be surprised if I tell you that as far as I can remember I only watched Qatar and England’s 1st game, Spain vs Germany, some Les Blues’ games but I forgot the opponents, Netherlands vs USA (Round of 16), Morocco vs Spain, Netherland vs Argentina (QF), Argentina vs Croatia (SF), and ofc the Final match between Argentina vs France. #shameonme to only watch the last 3 games of Argentina. But I remember that I said this to myself, 

I won't forgive myself if Argentina drops out of the tournament before I have a chance to watch one of their games.

Ironically the first game from La Albiceleste that I finally watched was when they went against the Netherlands. My heart is already torn into pieces because one of them will go home. Before Weghorst tied the game, I was confident for Argentina to face Croatia in Semifinal. But I wasn’t confident if they could beat Croatia since I heard news about just how marvelous Luca Modric’s team was (they brought tears to Neymar ffs!). But after Weghorst forced them to play extra time, my heart shifted direction toward Der Oranje. And so, they gave in to penalty shoot-out. Dibu Martinez blocked not one, but 2 penalty shoot-outs from the Flying Dutchman squad. 

Funny how I wasn’t that sad for the Netherlands maybe because I know they are all still young there’ll be next time.

Next game, Argentina vs Croatia. My only comment was just how lucky Alvarez was to play alongside Messi in this World Cup. Messi’s assist to his 2nd goal was just the absolute best. 

And I was happy that Scaloni finally gave Dybala a chance to play for the first time when he replaced Alvarez 15mins before the game ended. Not only that, but I also read how Scaloni wasn’t afraid to let the young players take part by letting them play.

There was 2 days break before D-day. I used it to watch La Seleccion’s docu-series the one available on Prime. It tells about Argentina’s journey to win Copa America 2021, Finalissima 2022, and their Road to Qatar. By watching that docu I got more insight into this team and learned more about the players.

While watching Argentina I noticed they have Walter Samuel as one of their Assistant Coach. But from the docu, I just realized that they have Pablo Aymar and Roberto Ayala as well. I am familiar with the three of them, but I don’t remember their coach Lionel Scaloni as a player at all.

From the docu I believe we’re all agreed that one of the factors that this team looks pretty amazing is because of the camaraderie between the players and the whole Coaches/Staffs. It’s obvious. 

The players show so much respect towards Scaloni. And I love how the young players really look up to the senior players (to Messi, I mean) while at the same time the senior players seem like make sure these chicos are comfortable during the whole training sessions and thus, they create such a strong bond.

In one interview Dibu said he’d be happy to see the senior players win the title, seeing just how much pain Leo, Di Maria, Kun, and Otamendi had to face from all the previous losses (4x Runner Ups: 3 Copas, 1 WC), he also added that he’d die just to win the tournament on behalf of Messi. I think everyone on that team is more than willing to die just to see their captain lift that World Cup trophy.

Then I thought, my decision to watch that docu could backfire on me because now I know the inside story of this team, it’d crush me more if they lost for the 5th time. I mean, I’ve been there in all those devastating final games, I don’t think my heart can afford to see if Di Maria cries one more time, not when I know this final will be his last game with La Seleccion. That’s why I only watched 3 eps out of total 6 episodes from the docu series.

Everything about this final game is nothing but pressure. And without further ado, to the final game we go.

First of all, something I didn’t get it is when I read some fans said they don’t wish to see Di Maria in Scaloni’s starting lineup. Some fans said Di Maria only plays better as a replacement. 

But guess what? Scaloni did the opposite and Angelito was the reason behind Messi’s first goal, which was taken from a penalty kick after Dembele’s foul on Fide.

Not only that, he also showed us once again his magic. That this guy always scores a goal in every Final game that Argentina ended up winning. 2008 Olympic game 1-0, 2021 Copa America 1-0, and the latest 2022 Finalissima 3-0.

Then he was benched in the 2nd half. The pundit said there was a change once Di Maria was out because Acuna couldn’t play like him, and meanwhile, France got their chance to attack back and that’s how Mbappe tied the score with his 2 goals which led to the extra time. I wondered why Scaloni had to wait until ET to play Lautaro and Paredes. And oh boy, once he was in, Lautaro gave new energy for Argentina right away and that’s when Messi scored his 2nd goal,

 but the celebration didn’t last long when Mbappe scored his hattrick that made Di Maria cover his teary worried face with a towel. El Fideo cried already.

At last, a Penalty shoot-out would determine the winner.

I’m telling you this, I always feel like throwing up every time I get stressed because of watching a penalty shoot-out. That happened again in this game. And I always cover my ear and shut my eyes when it’s my fave team’s turn to kick. I did the same when Messi, Dybala, and Paredes kicked the ball. But I was aware when Dibu blocked Coman’s penalty and closed my eyes again when it was Montiel's turn.

Otamendi Kun is exactly me during the penalty shoot-out

Players marched toward 3 different points; Messi, Martinez, and Montiel.

    So that’s how history is written. One that will definitely live in our head rent-free. How Messi led his team to win the World Cup. Added 1 star for Argentina’s jersey, the 3rd title after the last one they had with Maradona in 1986. Everyone agreed this final is one for the book with all the dramas that happened on the field. Mbappe stole the Golden Boot with 8 goals, while Golden Gloves, Best Young Player, and Golden Ball all belong to Dibu, Enzo, and Messi.

What a night. What a memory.

 Interesting stories from this WC to name a few:

The host Qatar sparked controversies at the beginning of the tournament. One of the reasons, due to the weather FIFA delayed the tournament until December and put a temporary pause on the ongoing European Leagues, which caused so many star players couldn’t participate due to the injuries that happened during the leagues.

The most-shocking result came from German, who failed from the first start thanks to Japan. 

Marocco steals everyone’s heart by beating Spain (Round of 16) and Portugal (Ronaldo’s last World Cup, he returned to the dressing room walked in tears) as they marched toward semifinal, becoming the 1st African country ever to do that.

As from the Argentina squad, people from across the world unite as one to celebrate Messi made his dream come true. While haters talked about how this is a rigged tournament as they believed FIFA is in favor to let Messi win World Cup because half of his goals are from a penalty kick.

And then we got Emiliano Dibu Martinez who sparked controversies after controversies which later gave him this....

Are you #TeamDibu or not?

And Kun Aguero who retired last year due to his heart problem, came to Lusail Stadium (as per Messi’s invitation) with Otamendi’s #19 jersey, blended in just fine with the other ‘official’ squad when Argentina celebrated their winning over France.

People don’t get John Terry’s jokes istg something is wrong with those people. I mean, I even get the joke!!

As for Dybala, crazy how he played no longer than 30-40mins throughout this WC but ended up as one of the key players for his successful penalty shoot-out in the Final and his last minute’s tackle/clearance over Mbappe’s attempt.

Dybala later said Dibu gave him the direction to where he should point his shoot

And my personal favorite goes to the jokes of the year about how people nicknamed Rodrigo de Paul as Messi’s bodyguard, just because when there’s Messi, you’ll see De Paul right next to him. Always together, rarely separated.

Also, it’s a crime not to mention how Papu transformed himself into ‘Beckham’ with his new haircut which also began “the Beckham jokes”, all thanks to Kun’s Twitch streaming which took place a couple days before the QF game.

And again, thanks to Kun’s IG Live streaming, we saw all the crazy stuffs La Scaloneta squad did as part of their celebrations on their dressing room.

Messi gone crazy + Nico (one of their staff) took a dive into a trashbin

I can’t wait to see Messi goes back to France, meeting Mbappe on PSG after his whole squad did this to his clubmate 😂

+bonus pict: Kun & Beckham Gomez

The final night felt so magical. Maybe because everything is about Messi and his dream. Although this team started off badly, losing to Saudi Arabia in their 1st match but they came back stronger afterward. And people who believe in such a thing as fate will say that the stars have aligned for the Scaloni team. Copa America 2021 for instance, they should have played the 2nd game against Brazil in Argentina, but due to Covid19 they were forced to play the final in Maracana. It was later revealed from the Netflix Docu (the one I don’t watch yet because the series isn’t available on my country) that Messi's pep talk to his team was about how fate led them to win the long-awaited trophy against their long-time rival, Brazil, in their enemy’s own place.

De Paul also got his prediction correct for the 2nd time; first when he -while intoxicated- said in a video that they will win Copa in Maracana, and 2nd when he wrote “La Seleccion will win World Cup 2022” on his jersey.

As if all that Nostradamus prophecies isn’t enough, Di Maria’s wife also revealed the WhatsApp chat Fide sent to her a day before the final, for her husband who strongly believed they will win the trophy and for him to score another Final goal.

Now, can we talk about Di Maria?

This national team has been through so many thin moments ever since the Messi era, but I stay loyal since 2007 Copa America because I have my favorite players (Mascherano then, Di Maria now), and Fide was the reason I felt so overpoured with emotions. 

This is the feeling that, even though I cheer for Germany & Netherland NT, but with them I have no players I dote on. And I’m beyond relieved knowing both Fide and Leo stay for more games with their Argentina jersey, cuz I can’t afford losing the legendary trio (Leo - Fide - Kun) altogether in such a short time.

In short, this World Cup is really a happy ending story for so many souls. Most notably, as I said previously, this triumph belongs to the trio Leo - Kun - Fide who’ve been side-by-side since the 2008 Olympic games, bestfriend from that moment, although club-wise the three of them once a rival in La Liga -before Kun finally moved to Barca only for Messi to leave him to play with Fide in PSG for a while (Kun only has a roommate priviledge but Fide won the prize for being a clubmate with Leo)-. Within a year, the trio helped their National Team to win all 3 prestigious tournaments.

 p.s: I cried watching the crowd erupted when Fide-Leo hugged each other 😭

Such an unforgettable moment for us to live by as we are all so lucky to witness this World Cup final game :’)

sorry I am new to this but what is the difference between bundesliga and dfb pokal? how come bayern won bundesliga multiple times yet not pokal? is it more difficult competition? :/

hi, welcome! nice to have you here!

so basically bundesliga is the league, "daily business" as bayern bosses would say. we have 18 clubs in the first bundesliga. everyone plays against each other twice, once at home, once away. whoever has the most points in the end wins the league. so it's all about consistency.. you have to beat as many teams as possible during the season and collect many points. because bayern has a very good squad and tends to win loads games the won a lot. part of that is that many competitors aren't as consistent.

the dfb pokal is a cup. in the first round are teams from the bundesliga, bundsliga 2, 3.liga and down to some small local clubs that play in one the regional leagues (not all of them tho.. there are certain criteria that i don't even know)

the first and second round of games are drawn from two pots, one with the professionals (better clubs) and one from the lower league clubs, which means bayern often gets a very small club as a first opponent.

since it's a knock-out competition and you only get one chance of winning the game and getting to the next round, chances are higher that you are out of the pokal when you have a bad day or are simply unlucky. in Germany we say "der Pokal hat seine eigenen Gesetzte" (pokal has its own rules) because there are usually some crazy matches with lots of goals or a small club kicking out a bundesliga 1 team. so fun times all around.

and especially in the last years bayern had some pretty bad second round matches.. and that's the reason they didn't win as much

(+ the second round is often in late autumn or winter and bayern play their worst matches during that time lol)

hope that helps and sorry for the long post :)

sky sport germany and german f1 community i‘m in your walls.

let me start this off that i too want more german drivers and a german grand prix again, i‘d be overjoyed actually.

but it‘s so annoying that we have to hate on every single driver who gets a f1 seat over dear baby mick schumacher.

every single week there are new speculations, various sources (also called ralf schumacher) and rumors about him getting a seat next season. btw these mostly get ignored by international media (except the williams seat now).

let me show you:

• starting when mick lost his haas seat, they wanted him in mclaren alongside norris. remember that piastri was already confirmed at that time and they were not convinced by him (winning f2 and f3 championships in your rookie year doesn’t help anymore it seems…)

• when has was dropped from the ferrari academy at the end of that season and mercedes took him in as their test/simulator/reserve driver, they wanted him to get the full time seat and replace the lewis hamilton, saying he‘d be way too old by now and should make space for younger drivers

• since being merc‘s reserve, they reached a deal with aston martin (and mclaren) that he’d also be available for them. this obviously means that they used the same argument for fernando to give up his seat for mick that they used for lewis (being to old) and wanting stroll out because he’s only there because his dad owns the team.

• before nyck de vries joined alpha tauri last season, they also wanted mick in there. it was confirmed that franz tost also thought about signing him but helmut marko was against it because he wasn’t a red bull junior or at least associated with them (he was still in the ferrari academy at that time)

this is not the right order, just how they came up in my mind. now let’s talk about this season tho because it gets ugly.

• it obviously all started on february 1st, when it was leaked/announced that lewis would be moving to ferrari next season. for german media it was clear: mick would be getting his second chance in f1 with mercedes since he’s their reserve, toto often talks „high“ about him and that seemed to be the only logical consequence. toto denied the rumors pretty quickly tho and said that he hadn’t thought about it yet, the season was going to be long and everything could happen.

• next possible scenario for them: audi! surely they must want a full german lineup, it would give them such good pr! so it was clear again: sebastian vettel and mick schumacher will make f1 a german sport in their audis again! when it was announced that seb would not return, the speculations started about sainz. when it was confirmed that nico hülkenberg would go to sauber/audi the full german line up rumors made a comeback tho, even more when sainz was confirmed for williams. since this is now the last open seat for next season, we can expect many more mick rumors about this team yay

• let’s come to alpine: for german media it was as good as announced: mick drives for alpine in wec, surely he’ll drive for them in f1 next season. when it was announced that there would be a shoot out between jack doohan and mick, everyone was ecstatic. too early as we later learned, jack was chosen and german fans and media were outraged. how could this have happened, wasn’t it confirmed already? and then, the rumors start: it’s only because doohan‘s bringing in more money (?), it’s because of doohan‘s dad (??????), it’s because they have new team leaders, the old ones would have chosen him (???????). it didn’t stop. mind you, the doohans and the schumachers are very close and mick‘s named after mick doohan, jack‘s dad. trying to create beef between them is useless. but now they don’t want him there anyway because alpine‘s not a good team anyway and mick deserves better than them. after months of forcing this rumors. yup.

• next up: williams. before they signed sainz, german media was already convinced that mick would be getting the seat („toto could just call james and tell him to give mick the contract“).

now, after yesterdays announcement, everyone is kinda shocked, that franco colapinto will drive the williams for the remainder of the season. and while i am of the same opinion and agree that it’s very early for franco and hope his career won’t get ruined by this, german fans and media don’t want him in this seat for another reason. because „it should have been mick“. for me personally that would’ve been his most possible chance for a seat but do you need to spread lies about franco and his life for that? do you need to bring down everybody just to put mick on a pedestal?

• last but not least, i‘m sure we will see as much, if not more, discourse and hate about kimi antonelli when they announce him for merc next season.

maybe german media, fans and the schumacher family, especially ralf, should work on their critical thinking skills. if mick is really that good of a driver, why doesn’t every team want him? why do they all take other drivers over him?

I don’t want this to come off as hate towards mick, i agree that his two years in f1 were sometimes overshadowed by other factors but he still crashed, lost haas a lot of money and was worse than kevin magnussen (and that’s really not steiner’s fault now). and maybe to this, we can add that teams have seen what you’ve done to steiner and that they don’t want and don’t need you constantly in their damn business, mobbing everyone who doesn’t suck off mick, his dad and you.

i know this may has some minimal mistakes, i didn’t really research anything i said and just went through my memory but all in all it doesn’t change my point.

as i said, no hate to mick, i hope he’s doing good in wec and i wish him nothing but the best. i also know that national bias is normal but at this point, it’s just annoying that we can never celebrate other drivers reaching their dreams but have to make it about mick and how much he’s hated by everybody. i promise that man could’ve had a far worse life.

First Date

Charles held me back as I wanted to walk outside. “What are you doing?” i asked him amused as he dragged me away. “I wanted to ask you out” he said smirking and I laughed. “What?” i asked amused. “Well it’s not asking out I think but maybe we could do something later…your friends go first” he said and my heart kinda skipped a beat. “Sounds great but not in public please…I had enough surprised for today” i said looking up at him. “We can do whatever you want” he said smiling. “Great, I’ll text you later” i said smiling. “Have fun” he said and I smiled at him. “You too” i said and he sighed frustrated. I smiled at him a last time before walking outside. We decided to go for dinner since it was already 5 p.m which made us question what took us that long. “How about this one?” Maureen asked. “No…they don’t have good drinks” Candice said. “That’s the most important thing “ Olga said and I shook my head amused walking next to Maureen. While Olga and Candice were deciding for a restaurant Maureen gave me excited and asking looks. “Will you tell me what it is now with Charles?” she asked desperately. “The same as before…we talked things out” i said to calm her. “He should come to the point soon” she said. “He is a man…they’re not like us” i said amused. “To me it sounds as if he doesn’t know what he wants” she said and I boxed her arm. “You’re terrible” i said to her. They found a restaurant and I thanked god that it didn’t take longer than 10 minutes. While walking to the restaurant we were stopped by fans and some paparazzis. Today it was fun compared to yesterday. We posed a little and took pictures with fans, autographs following same as quick convos.

I took a sip of the wine and looked around. We had the luck to sit on the terrace where we had a beautiful view on the Eiffel Tower besides hungry paparazzis taking pictures. “On vacation…they taste the best” Olga said and I nodded taking another sip. It was already my third and not because I was thirsty, they tasted better than in Germany and that was a big win. I had Charles’s jacket around the chair just in case I’d get cold tho it had 28 degrees (around 82 fahrenheit) which was rare lately. We took a picture and posted it on instagram. “So when is the fashion show?” Candice asked. “Chanel is in two weeks and Dior next month” i said softly. “Fetch” Maureen said and we smirked at each other. After dinner I had my fourth glass of wine and as I looked onto my phone I noticed that it was already 6 p.m so I leaning over to whisper into Maureen’s ear. “I kinda have plans tonight” i whispered into her ear. She looked at me with big eyes. “You’re joking” she said smirking and I chuckled. “We’re gonna pay soon and get back I guess” she said in a whisper. “Are you going back to the hotel?” i asked her and she tilted her head grimacing. “I guess” she said and I nodded. “I’ll text him” i said getting my phone to text Charles.

I showed it to Maureen scratching the top of my nose carefully. She gave me a thumbs up with a big smile.

Everything went really fast, I changed into something comfortable and gathered some things. My outfit were some blue jeans shorts and a t-shirt that was white, my Nike shoes and a black bag where the most important things were inside. I put on Charles’s jacket and said goodbye to my friends before leaving the hotel Annabelle and Maureen smirking at me. I took a Taxi to the hotel since he sent me his location right after the chatting. As soon as I got there I immediately ran inside texting him. It didn’t take long and he was walking up to me in black pants and a white t-shirt, basic but hot. “Hey” he said wrapping an arm around me to pull me close. “Come” he said taking my hand to lead me to the elevator. “I’m not really organised so it could be a little messy up there” he said scratching the back of his head as we entered the elevator. “I don’t mind” i said laughing. “Good” he said and I smiled at him. He unlocked the door to his hotel room with the card and let me go inside first. “Wow…this room is huge” i said as I got inside. “Only the best” he said smirking as he closed the door. I immediately saw the kitchen that was in the hotel room and of course the living room which was huge too and connected with the kitchen. “And here I thought our hotel was already huge” i said amused and he chuckled. I took a quick glance at the bedroom on the left side which had a bathroom in it too. His suitcases were on the floor and wide open. “And it’s really okay that I’m here?” i asked softly turning to him. “Don’t worry…Alexandra’s gone and after all I asked you to come here” he said walking over to the kitchen. “She’s gone?” i asked confused. “Yeah…she was overwhelmed with the situation and about what a bad boyfriend I am so she left to go back to Monaco” he said annoyed. “Oh…I’m sorry” i said walking over to him before adding “You’re not a bad boyfriend…You’re probably the best boyfriend a girl could ask for” i said arriving the kitchen counter opposite of him. “That’s nice of you” he said turning to me. “You know…I never told anyone that besides my friends but Alexandra once was my stalker” he said amused and I laughed. “What?” i asked laughing and in disbelief. “Yeah…she stalked me and Charlotte for good 5 years” he said and I froze. “That’s crazy” i said and he nodded leaning on the kitchen counter. “When I met her I didn’t know it she told me on our second or third date” he said and I shook my head. “Like a Hailey and Justin story” i said and he laughed. “Yeah…now it sounds crazy to me too” he said and I couldn’t help but shake my head. “She waited for you, literally” i said amused and he nodded. “mhm” he mumbled before shaking his head adding “What do you want to drink? Wine, tea, coffee, water or maybe something without alcohol” he listed smirking. “I had enough wine for today” i said grimacing. “You don’t seem drunk” he said smiling. “It was a light one” i said and he nodded. “Tea would be great…” i said softly. “Fruit tea, herbal tea or maybe a green tea” he said snd I chuckled. “Herbal sounds great” he said and he immediately made me some in a mug handing it to me. “Thanks” i said as I took it placing it on the counter. “You’re leaving tomorrow again, huh?” he said and I nodded with a sigh. “That’s bad…” he said and I raised an eyebrow. “Why?” i asked him confused. “Because I actually wanted to ask you out for tomorrow” he said giving me a soft smile. “What?” i asked surprised. “I wanted to ask you out for dinner tomorrow” he said and I straightened my back. “Like a…date?” i asked carefully. “A date, yes” he said smiling and I looked away smiling to myself. “Now I want to stay here” i said biting my lip, grimacing. “Unfavourable” he said and I thought about it. “I mean…I could stay it’s not like I have something important…I wanted to visit my parents in Bavaria so I would fly without my friends” i said thinking about it and he smiled at me. “I think…we could arrange that” i said smiling at him. “Then it’s a date” he said and I chuckled.

We were settling to the couch and he had a spotify playlist on, connected to a jukebox. We laughed a lot and had good talk, as always. “I think Paris is going to be our city” he said amused and I laughed. “Come to Monaco please” he said nudging me with his arm. “Never” i said confidently. “Come to my race then” he said and I laughed before I rolled my eyes. I had already told my girls about my plans and they were okay with me staying one day more, of course they were. “Wow…you look pretty good here” he said showing me a video on tiktok where me and Maureen took pictures with fans and signed some things. “Stop” i said amused. “But this one is even better” he said showing me an edit of me, one of already many. “Come on” i said taking away his phone. “It suits you…and the cameras seem to be obsessed with you” he said pulling me closer so I was resting against his chest with my back. He had changed into a hoodie while I was drinking my tea since it cooled down with time. “Not only cameras” i said smirking and he tickled my waist. “You’re acting like a teenager please stop” i said amused and he laughed. “I’m just trying to fit in” he said playfully. “Great…you being twenty-sic and me being nineteen…I can already see the headlines” i said and he rolled his eyes. “In my eyes your art” he said and I laughed. “I know that you don’t understand my obsession with art but please stop sizing teasing me with those allusions” i said and he smirked at me.

We were sitting on his balcony and I was drinking my water. “To be honest…I don’t want to leave” i said amused sitting there and he smirked. “You can stay too” he said and I rolled my eyes standing up. “Not yet” i said smirking and he groaned. “Are the customs in France that strict?” he asked smirking and I nodded. “At first yes but we’ll see” i said and he came closer to me almost too close to bear. “Stay with me” he said giving me those eyes. “You are unbelievably” i said and he came even closer our bodies close to touching. 9I put my hand on his abs or more the hoodie stopping him. “You know…space is just a word made up of someone who’s afraid of getting close” he said looking down at me. I shook my head and he pulled me in to hug me tight. With his arms around my waist and mine around his neck we hugged, my head resting against his shoulders. Now I nodded how tall he actually was. He was almost two or three heads taller than me which made me look pretty good next to him tho I had model height. “I really should go it’s already past midnight” i said pulling away. “I understand that” he said letting go of me. “I’ll get my things” i said walking inside to get my bag and his jacket. “You’re still wearing it?” he asked and I smiled. “I never stopped” i said and he smiled softly. “Good night, Madlen” he said and I shook my head. “Good night, Charles” i said and he smirked. “I’ll pick you up at 6 p.m tomorrow, be ready” he said pointing at me. “Got it” i said amused and with that I was leaving his hotel getting back to mine as quick as possible in hope that no one saw me which was quite safe around this time. It felt like back then at school vacation when you weren’t allowed to go out after the curfew but you were still going out with your friends to drink alcohol. I had a huge flashback.

I was picking out an outfit for tonight and the girls wanted to help me before they’d leave. “That one would look good…blue is YOUR colour” Annabelle said snd I nodded. “I don’t get why you’re going out with him” Olga said confused. “It’s just a date…it dies not mean anything” i said amused. “Not yet” Maureen said and I rolled my eyes. “Date or not he ‘s gonna find you adorable in everything but we can’t let you go naked so we need an outfit” Annabelle said determined. “I’d take this one” Olga said pointing at one of the three outfits and we three looked at it before looking at each other. “Mhm” Maureen mumbled. “Sounds good” Annabelle said and I nodded. “I’ll go with that” i said.

“And you’re really getting along without us?” Maureen asked smirking. “Definitely but I’ll call you” i said smirking as we stood on the airport. “See ya” Maureen said and hugged me. “Tell your parents I said hi” Olga said hugging me too after Annabelle hugged me. “Have a good flight” i said waving at them before they got inside. I was bringing them to the airport to say goodbye and make sure they are safe. I got back and it was 3 p.m so I decided to get ready with skincare, haircare and everything. I washed my hair, did a whole skincare on my face and did my hair before doing my makeup. I had a natural makeup with my fake lashes that looked quite natural tho they were fake. My hair was curly on the ends and shined in my cold chocolate brown which was even more beautiful since I got my hair cut two days ago. My outfit was really adorable.

I was putting on my favourite black boots and grabbing my black bag putting in some things I needed. I put my phone inside and took the elevator down to the lobby. I was walking along the halls and immediately saw Charles standing at the lobby. “You look absolutely breathtaking” he said pulling me in for a hug with his arm. “Thank you” i said giving him a hug before eyeing him up and down. He was wearing black pants and a white polo shirt with buttons and black shoes, he looked like one of those guys in those old money videos and I loved it. “You give me vibes” i said impressed and he took my arm to hook it on his. “No matter how good I look with you at my side I look even better” he said and I rolled my eyes. “Ready?” he asked smiling snd I nodded. We walked out of the hotel and got into the taxi that already waited for us. Inside I ran a hand through my hair. “I love your hair” he said his hand going through my hair which made me chuckle. “Me too” i said confidently and he shook his head laughing handing me a bouquet with white roses. “For me?” i asked smirking and he nodded. “I didn’t know which flowers you like so I took the most beautiful in the shop…quite fitting to you” he said and I smiled before sniffing at them. “They’re perfect” i said holding them in my hand. “Which one are your favourites?” he asked putting his arm around my shoulder as the taxi took off to the restaurant. “Red roses” i said smirking and he bit hus lip before smirking. “Now I know” he said and I shook my head.

We were sitting at our table and I asked for a vase which the waiter brought us. I put the roses inside and placed them on the side of the table. “What can I bring you to drink?” the waiter asked us. “Are you in for wine or are you on a special diet?” he asked and I laughed. “I’m down…diet’s starting next week” i said amused. He ordered us wine and by the way he ordered it I knew that he knows a lot about wine and that it probably was his favourite. He smiled at me snd couldn’t take his eyes off me. “It’s pretty hard to look away from you” he said snd I smirked. “That’s how it should be” i said confidently and he smirked. “I already saw some jealous stares…I hope I don’t have to punch some faces” he said smirking and I shook my head with both of my arms rested on the table. “You have no rival…yet” i said confidently. And he exhaled impressed. “Hard to get, huh?” he asked snd I nodded. The waiter brought us the wine and we ordered our food. I couldn’t hide a smile as the waiter lit the candles on the table. Charles smirked and we clinked our glasses. He really was a gentleman and I had the luck to get a taste of his princess treatment. “Aren’t you overwhelmed sometimes?” i asked as we talked about his job again, a topic that made me curious every time and I wanted to show off my knowledge. “With what exactly?” he asked taking another sip of his wine. “Races…every second week a race and the qualifies and training races” i said confidently and he raised his eyebrows. “Someone did her homework” he said impressed and I smirked proudly. “It can get hard but I’m one of the best” he said and I rolled my eyes. “It’s true, I always come out on top…and I always get what I want” he said taking my hand in his which made me smirk. “And what do you want?” i asked him interested. “A second date” he said in a whisper. “Already?” i asked playfully impressed and he nodded. “Maybe…we’ll see” i said teasingly and he shut his eyes. “Wow…getting famous changed you” he said and I threw a rose petal at him with a chuckle. “You just fucked up your wish for a second date” i said moving my hair behind. “Can I make it up to you?” he asked pouting and I looked at him with a head shake. “That depends” i said teasingly and gently raised my hand which was in his to his mouth and pressed a kiss onto my knuckles which made me blush. “You’re unbelievable” i said giving up and he put my hand down admiring my leopard nails. “I dud them with Valentina…I’m a leopard flag” i said playfully and he laughed.

After we ate he changed from wine to champagne. “That’s gonna get expensive” i said taking a sip of the champagne. “If you knew how much money I make you’ll change that sentence” he said confidently and I rolled my eyes. “I’m too independent for that” i said and he exhaled impressed. “A feminist?” he asked and I smirked. “I don’t want to argue with you about the bill again so just let me be a gentleman” he said and I nodded. “How could I deny that to you” i said getting my bag. “I’m going to the toilet real quick” i said getting up after he nodded. I walked to the past him and looked around trying to find the toilet. After washing my hands I admired myself in the mirror before refreshing my makeup a little putting on some lipstick and powdering my under eyes again to refresh my makeup. I smiled to myself and walked back to Charles.

The night continued and continued, it probably was the best date I had and there were a lot in the past. He paid the bill just as he wanted to and I watched everything he did, every step, every move, every gesture with his hands. I admired that he was playing piano which I didn’t know but I found it intriguing. I had already given him back his jacket as we passed by at my hotel. “To be honest, this was my favourite date” i said smiling. “For me too” he said and I smiled. “Will you call me tomorrow?” he asked and I nodded “Of course” i said with a smile. “My Madlen” he said pulling me closer and wrapping his arms around me protectively. It was not like his other hugs it was way tighter and closer… It was protective as if he was trying to safe me. I had my arms around his back and he had one around my neck running his free hand through my hair and stroking the back of my head while hugging me. I rested my head against his chest and nuzzled into it. He kept fondling with my hair. “I don’t want you to leave again” i said laughing into his chest. “I don’t want that either but we won’t have a choice” he said amused looking down at me while fondling with my hair. “Good night” i said looking up at him. “Good night” he said and I pulled away, his touch almost burning into my skin. That’s when I knew. I knew that I wanted him.

Hello, I’m back to annoy you😇

We won the DFB Pokal💚🐺🏆🥳

How are you?

Also I saw you had some interviews a while ago and did definitely not forget to ask about them until now🙃

So, how did it go, also if you don‘t mind sharing, what were they for and where (as in are you staying in Australia or are you going back to Germany)

Sorry if I’m being to noisy, you are in no way required to answer all my questions, just answer the ones you feel comfortable sharing😊

I‘m on my second internship, it’s radiotherapy right now, the first two weeks at one of the two locations I’m at wasn’t great cause there is some tension within that team and also I still had ( and still have) a lot to learn, and well let’s just say while the people were mostly very friendly they were kind of, impatient? Anyway it just wasn’t exactly a great situation and I just kind of felt like I was getting on their nerves or always in the way? I dunno it was not good

Now that I’m at the second location it’s way more fun, it’s still kind of mentally and emotionally draining cause I work with cancer patients all day long, but I think I’ve found a good way to recharge and handle it. Anyway the people there are great and I love em, I honestly don‘t want to leave there. They take time to explain stuff and answer questions as good as they can and honestly it’s a dream. They also just straight up tell me if I made a mistake or if I did something well, which luckily it’s mostly just been me doing things well, but I dunno I just need that transparency, like please do talk to me and tell me how I can do this or that better or how I can handle a situation better and don‘t just say at the end of the internship, you remember this situation from like three weeks ago? Yeah you shouldn‘t have done that, said this or whatever. And at the same time it‘s also nice hearing that you did something well.

Welp that got long quickly, sorry for the rant.

I hope you have a great day🫶

Einmal Wolfsburg, Immer Wolfsburg🐺💚

🩻

Hey, I missed you and you never annoy me 😊

We did I was pumped even tho I was absolutely freezing and dead tired 💚🏆

I‘m good on camp in the Outback at the moment. Honestly can’t wait to return from it. In 6 days a friend is flying over to visit so I’m hyped for that one.

One interview was really good like the people I had it with sounded super nice and the job didn’t seem bad as well. The second one was so horrendous that I hope they either don’t take me or one of the other ones work out because I really don’t think I would enjoy that one at all. Like they where so unorganized that they didn’t even know where I or what I wanted to study. The interview was for a duales Studium!? Like come on, it’s also nearly double the hours then the first one.

I have another one next week and one in two weeks hope they will be great since they are kinda from the job description my favorite ones

Oh yeah they are for my studying when I’m back in October

Yeah the first placement sounds terrible, definitely get what you mean.

But the second one sounds good, but I imagine it’s quite challenging so please take care of yourself! And feedback is so important like just tell me what to do and if the way I do it is good or what I have to do differently. Like you would think everyone just does that

Also love your life updates like you made my morning with it…. after obviously the Wolfsburg win 😇💚

Thanks and you too 🫶🏼

Einmal Wolfsburg, IMMER WOLFSBURG 💚🐺🏆

The following is a stupid thing I did on discord at 2 in the morning on discord where I created a whole world because I though of a reference to a dead meme. This is basically a monologue with one part from a different person on the discord which started the Canada lore. Otherwise there is no logic behind any of this. Without further a due, let’s begin:

Ight we’re going back to the First World War to get the French off the menu

That’s right, we’re going back to the First World War to get the French off the menu

I’m back from going back to the First World War to get the French off the menu

RIP British isles

They didn’t expect the Germans to go through Belgium to invade England

Hitler doesn’t come to power because he drowned on the march across the English Channel

But England then becomes communist with Churchill in charge and teams up with Stalin who still comes to power to start ww2

France is a powerhouse in the sequel tho so that’s cool

(Friend) What if the US had control over all of North America?

They tried that when the British went commie but unfortunately they didn’t expect the winter and got bogged down in the snow

Alaska then succeeds and invades Canada from the north while they are distracted by the Americans and win but refuses to team up with America and starts its own country

It’s ok As a country

Also the balkans are taken over by the ottomans who are back

And they go to Balkan therapy and make up

The ottomans then let them go and the Balkans form a big country called the bulkans

Anyway Africa is still messed up

And China invades Japan first

Because of a series of unfortunate events where the diplomats start shooting at each other over a mistranslation of “how’s the wife”

They take Okinawa but unfortunately due to poor military cohesion along with sabotage from spies from Vietnam, Cambodia, and New Zealand they struggle to take anything else and can only barely hold on to the territory they got

Also the Vietnamese revolted from the French earlier

It was a whole thing during the new ww1

They are doing pretty good for themselves

Oh right Australia gets invaded by New Zealand who also left the UK when they went commie

Australia didn’t leave and turned commie as well but gets conquered by New Zealand in the early 30s which is all part of New Zealand’s plan to become more powerful

The US after trying to invade Canada decides fuck it I’m isolationist again and shut off all foreign contact except with its neighbors

New Zealand does also buy Hawaii from the US

It then pulls a real Japan and starts taking over the pacific which is why it was so interested in taking a chunk out of China earlier and is actively supporting the Japanese

India is Facist

Facist India doesn’t really do much

Kinda boring

Oh right Brazil

Brazil invaded Southern Africa????

Like they just did it

There wasn’t a political reason or anything they saw that it was up for grabs because Commie UK was going crazy and just went for it

Well I guess the reason was probably resources but there are probably better places to go

Ight

UK

It went commie and Ireland and Scotland immediately dipped

Scotland is a democracy and Ireland is a Monarchy

They had to dig up a lot of genetic records to figure out who

Wales tried to leave but it wasn’t strong enough

RIP Wales

Although independence is a huge movement in Wales

During the Second World War the British try to take the Irish and Scots back but they have prepared for this so it’s a tough fight

The French join on the side of the Irish and scots because fuck England and the Soviets who are mostly the same from our timeline join the British

Germany sits it out but sells guns to the entante

Oh right the French faction is the entante and the communist faction is the Combined powers

Germany still has a Kaiser btw

Not Wilhelm II tho he died of heart attack in 1935 it’s his son Wilhelm III who was like 53 at the time

To be continued
