#btt musings

[irlusa]

💕 🌹 🖊️ for the ask game!

💕: who’s a character you love but never (or rarely) talk about?

Honestly like the entire bft/btt!!! I know I talk about pru very occasionally, but I used to talk about all of them so much more. I adore each of them and their whole dynamic together- I think the one I talk about least though is spain, which is wild bc he used to be one of my main/most used rp muses.

🌹: which character are you most attracted to? (physically or personality-wise!)

I mean I won't shut up about Alfred like ever so take that how you will, but.... It's actually hard to pick just one, especially with how many interpretations there are out there. If I had to pick one probably Ivan?

🖊️:  do you have a headcanon that you love, but directly contradicts canon?

I... haven't interacted with much canon in a hot minute unfortunately (though I should again ngl), so I don't 100% remember how much of it has been fabricated in my own head lol. But I do love the idea that Alfred's demeanor during, say, world meetings and such is mostly just a mask/front of sorts. IIRC don't often see much of a cold or calculating side in canon, but I think he can be very ruthless and decisive if he has to. (And for all his talk of saving the world and helping everyone, deep down it's somewhat for personal gain and because it makes HIM feel good)

Looking Back On It...

Spain: “So what were you in high school, Gilly? A jock?”

Prussia: “Nah a goth.”

France: “A goth?!”

Prussia: “Visigoth.”

[20s-turtle-posting]

Just thought about another reason why I actually love Fast Forward a lot despite its flaws, and that reason is that it's a canon future for the turtles where, presumably, they lived happy and fulfilling lives and died in peace. The world they fought and sacrificed so much for? It's okay, it's still standing

But the best part? It's a canon future where they are remembered, even if only by a few. In the future there are people who know them, people who talk about them, admire them, and try to emulate them

After they're gone, there are still people who love them. In the future they have family

I need to find a new FC for Maria, I think. My old one was Sa.oir.se Ro.na.n, and I still think she works well in almost all aspects, but resources are a little slim.

I’d also used Eva.nna Lyn.ch from her HP days because I felt she had that delicate, almost frail look that I think is important. Her hair is also platinum blonde. But it’s rare that her clothes suit Maria.

I’ve also considered Mkenna Grace... but finding enough material to icon a broad range of emotions might be even slimmer than with the other two.

I’m a bit out of the loop with newer child actresses. Does anyone know of any good ones that might suit her?

Others took ahold of the opportunity and robbed others, saying a quick “happy holidays” in an amusing tone under their breath while they left. If anyone was to profit on the holiday, they thought, might as well be them.

           But, for a few members, they took it with a deep feeling of sorrow. Remembering their past and whatever might make them feel this way. They only thought of hurt, and that was the end of it. They tended to be quieter, be out on their lonesome. Cassie wanted to cheer those up, be a listening ear to those that feel they have nothing.

            The door opened and Cassie stepped into the home. The gang took a liking to a small shack on one of their moves. There were only three rooms within it, but Cassie enjoyed it more than camping in the middle of the woods.

           Her eyes were met with the other, not sure what their thoughts were on the soon holiday.

Vinnie Dakota Tag Dump!

[allthingshetalia]

Hi, I really love your blog! ❤❤ Can I request Germany's reaction to his s/o after they tease him in front of Prussia? (I just can't get enough of him😂) You can decide if it's gonna be a smut or fluff Thank you!

💕I’m going to make it smutty💕

Ludwig tensed when your fingers danced up his thigh. He tried to focus on whatever crazy story Gilbert was telling. Ludwig adjusted in his seat trying to shake your hand off. His hand shot down and gripped your wrist squeezing it in warning. He heard you giggle- and he didn’t know if it was because of Gilbert’s story or him. You put your hand in your lap and Ludwig relaxed again.

It was short lived though when your hand made your way back. Your hand quickly darted to his growing buldge and rubbed it through the fabric of his pants. Ludwig inhaled sharply he leaned forward so his elbows were against the table. You continued your torture for a minute and withdrew your hand.

Your legs clenched together tightly and you shook excitedly in your seat. You were definitely going to get it. Time seemed to slow as Gilbert finished his story. Ludwig sneakily pushed him along and Gilbert left the house to meet the rest of the BTT for who knows what. As soon as the Prussian left the top half of your body was immediatly pushed against the table so your backside was forced in the air.

“You think you can get away with things like that?” Ludwig mused. His hands trailed up the back of your thigh, pushing your legs so they were together. His fingers gripped in the waistband of your shorts pulling them down. He made sure to avoid your underwear. You pressed your butt against his hand and you gripped the table. “You’re enjoying this aren’t you?” He growled. His hand left you butt for the first time and reconnected with the mound of flesh. The loud sound flowed through dinning room and you yelped.

“1.” You moaned. You wiggled your butt against his hand hoping he would press his hand against it to soothe the ache. He offered you no such luxury, his hand leaving your flesh again.

🤚🏻🍑✋🏻🍑✋🏻🍑✋🏻

“25.” A few tears rolled down your face and your butt felt like it was on fire. His hard slaps didn’t falter throughout the ordeal and the last five were almost hell- but yet heavenly. His hand left your back and you stood up. His hand immediately fled to your hips and he lifted you, your legs wrapping around his waist. His arm rested under the back of your thigh, making sure to avoid your butt. He laid you so your stomach was against the soft mattress. He went into the bathroom and quickly came back with some soothing gel. You winced as he tugged your underwear off the fabric brushing against your sore skin.

You sighed in relief as the cooling soothed the heated skin- Ludwig gentle hand helped the ache.

“You did so good Kätzchen.” Ludwig praised. “I didn’t even have to tell you to count.” Your heart swelled a little at his soft words of praise, that continued to flow from his lips. He placed soft kisses against your head and back and even placed a few on your butt causing you to smile. Once he finished he laid on his back, smiling as you immediately curled up on his chest. He brushed your hair away from his face and kissed the top of your head, his hands running up and down your back soothingly. “You better not do that again though.” Ludwig warned, his finger lightly tapping against your sore bum. You jumped but giggled.

“I promise.” You swore. Yet you both knew you would find another way to misbehave.

[dark-infatuation]

3, 4, 5, 6 (besides for filled with lovers XD), 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

3. Describe the skin type of your muse. What’s the color of their skin? Is it smooth or bumpy? Thick or plush? Hairy or not? Etc.

His skin is grey, obviously sdkjfg, and as a result at night, whne moonlight hits him, he looks like he glows a bit...his skin's very smooth and soft, he doesn't have much hair usually because he shaves/waxes pretty regularly, but when he does it's also very soft skfjd

4. Does your muse have an unconscious habits that could be considered embarrassing?

I don't think so? Most of his habits just involve him being very tactile and gotta touch things/people, and he wouldn't consider them embarrassing

5. What keeps your muse up at night? An embarrassing thought, a dark memory, a funny memory, a loving one, or maybe even a sad one.

Nightmares. He has such severe nightmares at this point he's pretty afraid of them, nightmares about his death, the Actor, that Other House and his ex, BTT, and more normal nightmares over fearing Illi or Yancy or Yanny are gonna bite off more than they can chew some day and end up dead somewhere. He...has a lot to fear, I think. Plus if it's ever storming some night, that will also Very much keep him awake.

6. How does your muse like their bed? Do they decorate with lots of pillows and blankets or do they prefer a simplistic design?

So many pillows.....Dark likes his luxury kdjfgn but in terms of like -- design on his pillows and blankets, he prefers simple to the point of just solid color skdfjgn

7. How would the peers of your muse describe them?

His peers being the people he 'works' with? The big one would be terrifying djfsg terrifying, a massive threat, someone who needs to be silenced somehow, but no one has the balls to do it, since the last time they tried a lot of people ended up very very dead

8. How would the teachers of your muse describe them?

Well, their teachers described Damien as pretty thoughtful and studious, a good kid, good heir, with how hard he tried to be exactly that. Celine was...less favorable, she was a hellion, unladylike, she needed to be sent somewhere proper to set her straight...

9. What catches the eye of your muse in another person? What about their personality is intriguing?

For Illinois, it was how kind he was. He was just so sweet, and caring, and willing to stick around even with how depressed and clinging Dark was at the time, he couldn't help but fall in love.....For Yancy, he liked how fighty he was XD He was 100% attracted to how abrasive Yancy was sdkfjgn even if it did piss him off a bit in the beginning, though there was also a healthy dose of 'oh he's cute' when Illi first brought him home ksjdf he likes how fun Yancy is XD and along the same lines with Yanny, he likes how sweet he is, how loving and caring he is, he also likes poking the bastard out of him XD

10. Bluetooth or cord accessories?

Dark doesn't care, he doesn't understand bluetooth in the slightest, so someone's definitely gonna have to help him set it up every time, but he doesn't overly have a preference XD he'll use whatever he's got skdfjg

11. Pet peeves?

He really doesn't like lying, and he doesn't like clutter much either, he likes his space being organized, the only exception would be the kitchen while he's making something XD He doesn't entirely follow 'clean as you go' sdfjgn

Each TMNT Incarnation and Where They Stand With Me :)

(Nervous chuckle) ... Yeah no, I suck at titles. Moving on! 

Y’all can go ahead and skip this part if you’re not interested in senseless rambling and just wanna get to the TMNT fun~ ;) 

Soooooo, I’ve recently updated my Tumblr page to a blog dedicated to all my fandoms (musing, headcanons, writing, gifs, pics, the works, basically anything and everything in relation to them) since I wasn’t really ever doing anything with it other than using it to share pics mostly. But ever since I stumbled back into the TMNT fandom, I’ve been searching Tumblr for fan content and OMGOSH, did I hit the jackpot! Headcanons, fanfics, Turtle x reader stories, so much juicy stuff! Am hooked! Dunno why I never tried searching for similar stuff in the past for my other fandoms! I guess I just... didn’t realize there was so much content here. :O But anyway, I always wanted a place to share ideas and thoughts regarding my fandoms outside of sites like Deviantart and Fanfiction.net, and heck, it’s been here under my nose all this time... Y’all gonna have to forgive me; I’m an old fart. ;P (Insert image of Slowpoke for reference) So without further ado... 

LET’S GET THIS PIZZA PARTY STARTED! 

Imma start this blog off really simple and, as the title states, just give you all a small-ish idea of where each TMNT universe stands (or ranks?) with me, personally... Note the ‘personally’ part so please don’t feel offended if I don’t share the same opinion as you on a particular verse. ^^; I have my own tastes and will respect the next person’s when it comes to them. ;) Also, please beware the typos (which there most definitely will be)...

IN RELEASE DATE ORDER: (Hopefully they’re right)

MIRAGE COMICS~

Imma just say it: I haven’t read any of them yet. :/ There probably are sites out there that would allow you to view them online for free, but in truth, I’ve been a little slack about trying to find any... That may however change someday as I always tell myself I should really seek out the source material so it’s only a matter of time. What I do know, however, is that they’re of course a lot darker than most incarnations (which I don’t have a problem with personally) and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious as to exactly how much darker. X’D The closest I’ve come to ‘knowing’ these Turts comes from watching the Turtles Forever movie and they weren’t in it for a long time so it’s very difficult to say what they actually mean to me, so we’ll just put these guys down in the ‘not sure’ column for now. ;)

1987 CARTOON~

HAHA~ I think any fan of the franchise as a whole knows this little gem! The series that really hit it off and spawned over a 190 eps! Quite an impressive feat for a Saturday morning cartoon! It made its way to TVs the year before I was born, but it would take another few before it would reach our tubes (we’re always a few years behind the rest of the world :/ ) so I was around four when I was first introduced to it and needless to say, I loved it back then! Michelangelo was initially my fav due to him being my older brothers’ fav and the one they mainly spoke of, but it didn’t take long before my favering gravitated towards Leonardo (even at such a young age) and has been that way ever since. ;) But where exactly does the series stand with me as an adult nowadays with so many other verses we’ve been exposed to? I do hold a lot of nostalgia (as many older do) for it, and I mean, come on, that theme song is ageless, and I even started watching a lot of vids involving the original VAs and the shenanigans they get up to and seriously, it’s so heartwarming and fun to see them! But I have to be honest...

It’s not my fav verse, honestly. I will always adore them, of course, because of the nostalgia and the goofiness... But it’s the latter that’s mostly the reason for it being placed a bit lower on the favoritism ladder. While its a fun watch if you want something lighthearted, I still prefer the idea of the darker undertones that comes with being associated with ninjas. It’s just a preference. Plus, the Turtles designs are big one for me, and I’m sorry to say, but I keep seeing these fellas as more frog-like than turtle, despite the shells. X’D So yeah, no big reasoning for it, and even if someone were to ask me if I like these guys, I’ll still say yes, just that they’re not my ultimate fav is all. ;)

Also, we won’t talk about the Japanese Anime Ninja Turtles: Superman Legend or something to that extent... We’ll just let that one be gently swept under the carpet. ;) Only ever saw the trailer for it and that’s all I’ll ever need to see in my lifetime.

1990 MOVIES TRILOGY~

Now funny enough, I really don’t remember ever seeing these movies as a kid, though it’s possible I did and just maybe blocked the memory, but I highly doubt it... So yeah, I saw these movies as an adult already. The first is praised by most fans, and honestly, I can see why: it’s pretty good! :D The acting is very decent and the humour’s brilliant! The two sequels... not so much but still okay. ;) Where they sit with me... Not too far on the ladder again I’m afraid. :/ While I do really enjoy and appreciate the acting and that humour (”I made a funny.” X’D) it mostly comes down to the Turtles designs again... I really can’t see past them being actors in costumes rather than characters. :’( Granted, good actors. ;) And heck, Jim Henson did a phenomenal job! They’re just not really the movies for me is all, even if I do go back and watch ‘em every now and then. X’D I do however melt every time at the scene in the first movie where Raph wakes up in the bath and Leo’s there and apologizing and all... Makes me all gooey inside! X’D The feels are real! Speaking of Leo, though, he sounds even younger than Mikey. Small nitpick, that, but... why? X’D

But yeah, let’s just say, they’re good movies, just, not my favs.

Also, Coming Out Of Their Shells tour... Yeah, I’m gonna just... pretend that doesn’t exist for a minute. 

THE NEXT MUTATION~

Nope.

Saw one ep as a kid and am not interested in seeing anymore.

Although, VA Matt Hill voices Raph. That’s one good thing.

2003/2k3~

Well it wasn’t already apparent by my avatar... Ladies and gents, I present to you... My fav TMNT verse to date! Oh my goodness, where do I even begin with this delicious series?! :D Firstly, animation: so appealing, comic book-y style! Their designs: without sounding pervy, veeeeeeeery appealing (hehehehehe), no seriously, they sometimes have a bitta bulk to them but it honestly works, and dem muscles, and the cool eyes! The VAs: spot on! Perfect! Wouldn’t have ‘em any other way! Make me melt, Mr. Michael Sinterniklaas~ (cough) Their personalities: Omgosh, just yes! So perfect! They’re easily differentiated and yet still work together so well. Leo’s mature and level-headed (well, most of the time ;P ) yet still gets tested a lot and even has a fun side that’s shown on occasion. Raph’s grouchy and violent but is shown on more than one occasion that’s he’s total softie and really does care. Don’s just a sweetheart and freakishly smart and even has slips ups from time to time. Mikey... omgosh, best Mikey ever! So much fun! So hilarious! And just a bundle of energy, but not at all an idiot like he’s sometimes portrayed in other verses. He’s witty, mischievous and just so adorable! Heck, even Master Splinter, April, Casey, the lot of them are just awesome in this series! And wow, they really do lean more towards the source material (or so I’m told) when it comes to the plots! It’s darker than the other previous verses yet still remaining kid-friendly (although I question it at times XD) and omgosh, it’s just everything I want in a TMNT universe! Granted, it’s not perfect perfect, but it nailed it for me. ;) It really showed so lovely character developments, alsortsa different genres, the humour will leave you in stitches, the Turts are all just so lovable, I can’t get enough of them! This series was really my high point and I’ve yet to find one that tops it~

Btw, this even includes Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer (BTTS). The former being my least fav of the series simply due to the setting and again, it’s just preference. I even liked BTTS, even though I’m not overly fond of a cyberspace setting, but I found myself really liking the art style and the general plot. :D 

2007/2k7~

As with the last, if you’ve picked up on the page’s header/banner, you’d have probably guessed that the 2007 movie is also a good candidate for one my favs... And you’d be correct. ;) I’m actually very fond of this movie, and it’s largely due to the Turtles designs. I love how they were done! They just look so cool! <3 Subtle differences tell the viewer who’s who even if they didn’t have a mask or weapons. The VAs were also pretty good~ Now, the story isn’t the greatest, I’ll admit. Personally I thought it was okay, but know many fans think otherwise. But I did like the confrontation between Leo and Raph! It got real there, peeps! :O Now here’s also where it falls a little on its face for me: I didn’t really like how they handled Leo’s personality (if you haven’t already picked up on it, yes, I’m a Leo fangirl and I’m picky when it comes to how they handle his personality) but it’s a nitpick again, yet, I still feel compelled to state my opinion: the whole “I’m better than you.” comment really took me back and made me think they pushed it. I honestly like to believe he’d never actually say something like that... at least, 2003!Leo wouldn’t. X’D But that’s just my problem: I’m comparing a different verse’s Leo to this one and whether I like it or not, he said it. :/ Oh well, it still made for some fun action scenes and I’ll still always like the movie.

Bit of a goof on my side: I honestly thought that this movie was made to tie in with the 2003!verse due to the timeline in which it was produced, but turns out, it’s actually closer to the 1990′s timeline although still considered it’s own verse.

2012/2k12~

Oooh boy, lemme prepare for the backlash real quick... I’m uhhhh... not a fan of these boys. :/ I don’t mind them, but I’m honestly never gonna watch the series again. It’s hard to top your fav when you’ve kinda already hit your high point, ya know. Now before you light your torches and sharpen your pitchforks, hear me out: I will never bash the series, or make fun of anyone who likes it! Or anything to that extent! It’s just wasn’t for me, plain and simple, and it’s got nothing to do with it being ‘new’ or I’m just an old fart stuck in my ways. Heck, If you’re still reading, you would’ve found out that even nostalgia couldn’t beat the series that grasped me in my teens! So no, it has nothing to do with age. But if you do need a reason: I wasn’t overly fond of how they handle the characters. For one, they look and act a bit too young, Mikey is just... wow, something else. Donnie’s... sheesh, pretty snappy and antagonising. Raph’s well... okay, he’s meant to be angry half the time, and they did give him some more layers with Spike and Mona Lisa and whatnot, but he still kinda never learns his lesson if I can say that? He’ll learn that he shouldn’t cause issues with others, yet next episode he’s back at it again. :/ Leo’s... wow, just not like other Leos. X’D Best way I can describe him is... young? Very childlike. And even when he was progressing to becoming this better leader, I honestly couldn’t even see the change. My mind was just stuck on this “He’s a babeh.” notion. Also, I’m not even gonna start on this April and Casey. Just. No. Most of the characters were annoying and I just kept seeing recycled plot after plot. What I did like was the romance that blossomed between Raph and Mona (albeit far too rushed) and even Donnie liking April was adorable (but seriously Donnie, you can do so much better), and there were some really heartfelt moments, like Splinter telling Leo to leo his brothers with his heart and not his head, and the scenes when they were Tots will always make me squeal... But yeah... without leaving any spoilers.... about Splinter... just... thanks, Nickelodeon. Y’all know what I mean. Not once... But twice.... Really? So yeah, look, I realized some of those reasons might even be petty, but again, it’s just not the series for me, but anyone who’s a fan... You keep being a fan! ;) I’m glad you can enjoy something I can’t. ;)

2014/2k14/2016/2k16 AKA BAYVERSE~

HAHA~ Every fan’s favorite... If only. X’D Jokes aside, despite many fans claiming the Bay movies ruined the franchise, these two films gathered a small following... And I’m apart of it. :) Funny enough, I honestly didn’t know what to think of them when the movie first came out. I think I was just taken aback by the sheer amount of detail and all that went into their designs. I didn’t not like them, but again, their designs were a lot to take in. :O Even now after seeing the movies quite a few times over, I find myself constantly discovering something I didn’t notice on them before, be it a strap or a scar etc. And it honestly took some getting use to their sizes, I mean, sheesh! :O Not to mention the different background story, and Megan Fox’s wooden, expressionless acting, but despite all that... I found myself actually growing attached to these hulks of Turtles. They still have a lot of that heart in them and plus they’re just so much fun, I mean, can we say ‘Elevator scene’? X’D Now again, not perfect by anys mean, but still fun and pretty decent incarnations to add to the franchise. Again, Leo’s been given this ‘Better than you’ a bit which irked me to be frank. Not always but it’s there sometimes, but otherwise alright. Raph’s a decent Raph. Even had some tender moments. Donnie’s adorable! X’D This slightly potty mouthed geek that you just gotta love. And Mikey... although given that bitta ‘idiot’ feel, is also just as lovable and you want to hug him every time he’s onscreen! 

In short, I like ‘em. :) They’re actually closer to the top of the ladder than some others.

RISE OF THE TMNT/ROTTMNT/2018/2K18~

Yeeeeeeeeuuuuuuh... no. Sorry. Not for me. :/ Again, gonna remind y’all, nothing to do with age. Nothing to do with change. I will say that the fluid animation is nice, and the fact that they chose 2D animation. :) Buuuuuut, wow, they were certainly a lot to take in. Almost as much as Bay’s Turtles. After watching a few eps, I will conclude that they really just aren’t what I’m looking for. I found that the constant joking, while sometimes funny, got a little bit much, plus such short eps. Raph being leader was a switch and one that took awhile to get use to and honestly, I’m just not for it, I don’t even know where to begin with Donnie, Mikey’s okay, Leo... (deep breath) I don’t know what they were thinking... Let’s not even go to Master Splinter. But anyways, I get that change was what they were going for and that it was more so based on the 1987 toon with the silliness so that’s fine. I’m glad it’s got so many fans. :) And honestly, I wanna end off just by saying...

That no matter what your thoughts on what I’ve said, I hope you can respect my opinions and choices cause at the end of the day, they’re just my own, and I will always respect yours! :D If you adore the verses I’m not too crazy about, that’s great! :D I want you all to love the heck out of them! And honestly, this is what’s so great about this franchise: there are so many verses to choose from! So many options and tastes to suit any and all! You don’t have to follow the masses! You go enjoy whichever incarnation(s) you want to! ;) 

And there we have it, my first fandom bloggy thingy~ Hope there’ll be many more where that came from! :D

This is Drag0n-Mistr3ss signing off~

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz

the salty af munday meme | accepting!

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz

Once, and this is a bit of a story that requires a bit of context. Let’s step over to 2014, my TMNT days, back when I was roleplaying my favorite turtle —- Raphael.

For those of you unfamiliar with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, due to the amount of series that the franchise has had, each is divided by the year in which the series premiered, occasionally bringing up where the show actually played. The Raph that I played was a 2003/4kids/Fox Box variant, of which I was the only one that generally stayed active until about 2015-ish, mostly due to the fact that me and my ship partner at the time agreed that the doors were closed on those muses and they were happy enough on their own.

The final season of the 2003 series was known as “Back to the Sewers”, or BTTS for short, and it gave the turtles a sort of redesign or at least an updated art style.

Pre-BTTS looked like this:

BTTS looked like this:

You’ll notice that there’s eyes that are visible through the mask, right? Green eyes. Well, a friend of mine had actually edited these to be gold to match my pre-existing headcanon about his eyes. I was so surprised and grateful, thanked them profusely, and began using the new icons immediately.

So you can imagine just how upset I was that someone had taken the gold-eyed icons and was using them without that friend’s permission or even crediting them for it. I wasn’t too fussed about the rest of the icons that I’d cropped, since said friend had also given me a ton of screenshots from the series, but those gold-eyed ones were made PERSONALLY for me as a gift from a friend.

I told them to cut it out, privately, and they said okay. Cool.

Then they stole my opens and reused them nearly word-for-word. I’ll give them credit, they did remove my very obvious accent marks ( which would’ve most definitely outed them, considering that I write my Raph’s accent similarly to how I write Licorice’s ).

Then they were using the gold-eyed icons AGAIN.

Needless to say, I called them out for these actions publicly, since they weren’t seeming to get the message. They apologized again, stating they’d remove the icons from their folders, since they’d “forgotten” to delete them.

The salt in the wound was that I said it was fine for them to use any other icons BESIDES the gold-eyed ones, and they STILL used the gold-eyed ones. Of all the nerve, right?

Moral of the story: if you have to rely on stealing icons and even fucking opens from a blog of the same muse, maybe you should just throw the entire blog away and actually do up a muse you can write and gather icons for.

V automobilovém světě jsou některá auta velmi zajímavá, ačkoliv tak na první pohled nemusejí vypadat. A jedním z nich je rozhodně Volkswagen Phaeton, který jsme jako devítiletou ojetinu vyzkoušeli v rámci týdenního testu.

Auto na objednávku šéfa VW

Říkáte si, co je na Phetonu zvláštního? Vždyť jde prostě jen o převlečené Audi A8. Jenže tak to právě není. Auto vzniklo vlastně na objednávku koncernového šéfa Ferdinanda Piëcha, který ho chtěl jako konkurenci Mercedes-Benzu třídy S, ale i BMW řady 7. Měl k tomu i další požadavky jako to, aby klimatizace byla “bezprůvanová” a i v 50°C vedrech dokázala v autě udržet 22°C. Velká limuzína musela mít pod kapotou i dvanáctiválec a měla umět jezdit dlouhodobě 300 km/h, ačkoliv rychlost byla omezena na 250 km/h.

Test Audi A8: Na silnici jako v obýváku

A to inženýři splnili a v roce 1999 představili na autosalonu ve Frankfurtu koncept s názvem Volkswagen Concept D. Šlo právě o koncept Phaetonu, ale byl to liftback. Pod kapotou měl potentní 230kW motor V10 5.0 TDI se 750 Nm točivého momentu, automatickou převodovku, ale nechyběl mu ani pohon všech kol a vzduchové odpružení. Sériový Volkswagen Phaeton nakonec vyjel o tři roky později a vyráběl se s dvěma modernizacemi v letech 2007 a 2010 až do roku 2016.

Mimochodem vyráběl se v Drážďanech a Volkswagen pro něj postavil speciální továrnu. Skleněná manufaktura, jak se továrna jmenovala, byla docela jinou továrnou, než v které se vyrábějí běžná auta. Tady bylo naprosté ticho, čisto a podlahy byly dřevěné. Vyráběl se tu jen Volkswagen Phaeton a vznikal ručně.

Po ukončení výroby Phaetonu se sem přesunula výroba elektromobilu Volkswagen e-Golf a dalších elektrických modelů.

Trochu Bentley, trochu Passat

Některé z vás možná překvapí, že Volkswagen Phaeton nestojí na platformě Audi A8. A prozradí to už jen samotný klíč k autu. Ten se totiž nápadně podobá modelům Bentley, což má svůj důvod. Pro základ luxusní “lidové” limuzíny byla totiž použita stejná podvozková platforma jako pro Bentley Continental GT a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. S Audi A8 nicméně Phaeton sdílel některé motory, ale i automatickou převodovku.

Pokud jste se podívali na auto zvenku, pak jste v něm mohli vidět základní znaky dobového Volkswagenu Passat, tím spíše u auta po posledním faceliftu, které jsme testovali my. A to bylo pro spoustu majitelů plusem, protože si jejich velké a drahé luxusní auto, které nabízelo velmi podobný komfort jako už na první pohled luxusní Bentley, mohli plést s menším Passatem.

Přesto ale šlo o opravdu velké auto, které se nabízelo se dvěma rozvory. Celková délka byla v obou případech více než pět metrů a rozvor překonával třímetrovou hranici. A i díky tomu bylo uvnitř opravdu hodně místa na předních, ale zadních sedadlech.

Komfortem překvapí i dnes

To, že Volkswagen Phaeton vznikl na přelomu milénia, dnes už nezamaskuje. Nejvíce je to vidět v interiéru. Středový panel je plný tlačítek, jejichž poznání vyžaduje určitý čas. Pořád je to ale podle mého názoru lepší, než dnešní všudypřítomné dotekové displeje, na jejichž ovládání se musíte opravdu zaměřit – okem najít ikonku a pak sledovat prst tak, aby se na ni přesně trefil. Na druhé straně jsou dnešní interiéry luxusních modelů čistější, hladší a takové “uklizené”.

Když se posadíte do pohodlných předních sedadel, která vypadají jako křesla od televize, ovšem s docela slušným bočním vedením, můžete si je elektricky seřídit (včetně opěrky hlavy, ale i výšky pásů v B-sloupku) v mnoha směrech. Elektricky je nastavitelný i volant. Vše si pak můžete uložit do paměti. Přední i zadní sedadla mohou být vyhřívaná i ventilovaná, což testovaný kousek měl. Vyhřívání však na řidičově sedadle nefungovalo. Pokud jste si připlatili, všechna sedadla mohla mít i masážní funkci.

Volkswagen Phaeton mě překvapil i několika zajímavými detaily, které známe z luxusních modelů jiných značek. Mluvím například o parkovacích senzorech s grafickým znázorněním vzdálenosti po vzoru modelů Mercedes-Benz (přední senzory se ukazují na vrchu palubní desky v rozích u A-sloupku, ty zadní na stropě uprostřed před zadním oknem), ale také o tom, že si lze nastavit teplotu ofuků v palubní desce (tak to mají modely BMW).

Zajímavá je i funkce ofukování předních bočních skel, na která je samostatné tlačítko přímo na dveřích. Šikovná funkce s nešikovným ovládáním, protože pokud s sebou nevezete spolujezdce, bude ovládání pravého předního okna poněkud nešikovné. Každá strana se totiž ovládá na těch konkrétních dveřích.

Největším překvapením je i po devíti letech provozu a přibližně 190 tisících najetých kilometrů podvozek. Ten byl už v základu vzduchový a nabízel několik možností nastavení tuhosti. K dispozici byly čtyři, ale prakticky nebylo potřeba měnit ho z toho nejkomfortnějšího. V tom se auto opravdu moc příjemně pohupuje na silnici a pohodlím se nezadá ani s některými dnešními limuzínami. Komfortu pomáhají i nevelká 18″ kola s poměrně vysokými pneumatikami.

Chce jezdit v klidu

Do sportovního režimu jsem auto přepnul vlastně jen abych vyzkoušel, jak funguje. Se sportovností nemá společného zhola nic. Auto je navíc opravdu velké a i poměrně těžké, v osvědčení o registraci vozidla, tedy v tzv. malém techničáku se u tohoto konkrétního kusu píše 2233 kg. Auto je poměrně těžkopádné, což dokazují i technické údaje (zrychlení z 0 na 100 km/h za 8,3 sekundy a maximální rychlost 237 km/h), ale vlastně to ani nevadí, protože klidná a plavná jízda mu jde nejvíc. Vlastně mě to za těch pár stovek kilometrů ani nelákalo jezdit rychle.

Motor má ale příjemný zvuk, rychlé reakce na sešlápnutí plynového pedálu a je použitelný v širokém spektru otáčkoměru. Jeho výkon je 176 kW/240 koní při 4000 ot./min a točivý moment 500 Nm je k dispozici od 1500 do 3000 ot./min. Z uživatelského hlediska jde o příjemný motor, jakkoliv jde o úplný základ nabídky.

Motor se v tak velkém a těžkém autě docela nadře a je to znát i na spotřebě paliva. Když jsme auto vraceli, na barevném displeji palubního počítače svítila spotřeba převyšující 10 l/100 km. Tempo bylo klidné, kombinovali jsme přibližně ve stejném poměru město a dálnice. Okresních silnic bylo minimum.

Testované auto ve velmi dobrém stavu

Auto z fotek, které nám k testu zapůjčil pražský autobazar MAMA Car, pochází z roku 2010 a najeto má 190 tisíc kilometrů. Není to na něm příliš znát, jakkoliv několik parkovacích lišejů na něm najdete. Odřený je hlavně zadní nárazník na rozích. Interiér je zachovalý, volant i pedály pěkné, ale poškozený je sedák u řidiče.

Na autě vše důležité funguje. Motor táhne, jak má, nekouří. A rovné a s dobrým účinkem jsou i brzdy. Dokonce ani od podvozku se neozývají žádné rány, drobné ťukání se ozvalo jen při přejíždění příčného prahu (žlutočerného retardéru). V řízení, ani v nápravách se nezdála být žádná vůle. I řazení šestistupňové automatické převodovky bylo parádně hladké a jemné.

Přesto je tu několik drobných nedostatků. Tím nejzásadnějším je fakt, že auto je po kuřákovi. Těmi drobnějšími jsou nefunkční ostřikovače (motorek slyšet je, ale z trysek voda nestříká), světla svítící do země (asi bude stačit seřídit) a sporadicky (4x za celý týden) se vyskytující chyba tlačítka asistentů na páčce směrových světel (tlačítko ale bez problémů fungovalo). A péči by si zasloužil i lak, který je poměrně zašlý.

Na co si dát pozor?

Jde o nejluxusnější model značky, který býval zpravidla bohatě vybaven. A to může (zejména s přibývajícími lety) způsobovat problémy s trvanlivostí a spolehlivostí. V nabídce bylo v průběhu 14 let výroby celkem 9 motorů: 5 benzinových a čtyři naftové.

V rámci benzinových motorizací tvořil základ nabídky v době uvedení auta (2002 – 2008) motor VR6 3,2 litru. Jeho výkon byl 177 kW/241 koní a točivý moment jen 315 Nm. Na tak velké a těžké auto to nebyl dostatečný motor, vždyť zrychlení z 0 n a 100 km/h bylo 9,4 sekundy… Auto jste tak museli “honit” a i díky tomu dnes tyto motory trpí na vyšší spotřebu oleje, mají občasné problémy s bloky. Později byl motor vyměněn za novější a výkonnější motor VR6 3,6 FSI, který se montoval třeba i do Škody Superb. A ten je nejen výkonnější (206 kW/280 koní a 370 Nm, 0-100 km/h: 8,6 s, max. rychlost: 250 km/h), ale i o poznání spolehlivější. Do auta se montoval v letech 2008 až do konce výroby v roce 2016.

Stálicí byla jednotka V8 4,2 litru, kterou jste mohli pořídit po celou dobu produkce. Z pohledu výkonu šlo o jednotku s výkonem 246 kW/335 koní a maximum točivého momentu 430 Nm leží 3500 ot./min. Z 0 na 100 km/h zrychlí za 6,9 sekundy a maximální rychlost je elektronicky omezena na 250 km/h. Z hlediska spolehlivosti jde o motor, který, pokud dostával pravidelnou péči, netrápí na žádné specifické neduhy.

Vrcholem nabídky byly verze s motorem W12. Šestilitrové dvanáctiválce se pod kapotou vystřídaly dva. V letech 2002 až 2004 to byl motor BAN s 309 kW/420 koňmi a 550 Nm (0-100 km/h: 6.1 sekundy, maximální rychlost 250 km/h), od roku 2004 do roku 2016 to byly motory BRN a BTT, které měly 331 kW/450 koní a maximum točivého momentu 560 Nm. Díky tomu dokázala velká limuzína zrychlit na stovku za 5.9 sekundy a maximální rychlost bylo omezena na 250 km/h. A protože jde o opravdu aristokratický motor, pak je potřeba počítat s vysokými servisními náklady. Pokud mu dopřejete vše, co je potřeba, je motor spolehlivý.

Pro ty, kdož jezdí hodně, se hodil některý ze vznětových motorů. Třílitrové šestiválcové jednotky se pod kapotou vystřídaly v průběhu výroby tři s výkony 165 kW/225 koní, 171 kW/233 koní a 176 kW/240 koní. Dva slabší motory se mohly pochlubit 450 Nm točivého momentu, ten nejvýkonnější měl 500 Nm. Opět platí, že motory nejsou nijak nespolehlivé a pokud mají to, co mít mají, pracují správně.

To se nedá říct o vrcholném, opravdu působivém desetiválci. Motor 5.0 TDI V10 sice podle dobových testů “jede jako lokomotiva”, ale servisně jde o poměrně náročný agregát. Problémy často působí průsaky z vodní pumpy, odlupující se povrch z vnitřní stěny válců či přidřená ložiska na klikové hřídeli. Motor se nabízel jen v letech 2003 – 2007 a řidiči nabízel 230 kW/313 koní a 750 Nm, což vystačilo ke zrychlení z 0 na 100 km/h za 6.9 sekundy a maximální rychlost bylo obligátně omezena na 250 km/h.

Závěr

Volkswagen Phaeton byl nenápadný na pohled, ale luxusní při jízdě. Už tehdy nabízel výbavu, která se teprve dnes dostává do běžných modelů (například hlídání mrtvého úhlu). Samozřejmostí je veškeré ovládání v elektrice, ale třeba ovladač na vnější zpětná zrcátka nevyniká ideálním umístěním, protože je nalevo od voliče automatické převodovky, kde překáží. Přitom je to věc, kterou budete potřebovat velmi výjimečně…

I po těch letech jde o velmi pohodlné a komfortně jezdící auto, které vás po zavření dveří velmi příjemně izoluje od vnějšího světa (i díky dvojitým sklům). U luxusních limuzín je opravdu hodně znát, jak doba letí – zejména na technologiích a prvcích výbavy. Nejnovějším modelům se Volkswagen Phaeton rozhodně nevyrovná, ale i tehdejší výbava překvapí, protože ji nemají ani některá dnešní auta.

A pokud byste si zážitek z luxusní limuzíny chtěli užívat i vy, pak vězte, že v MAMA Caru byste si to mohli dopřát. Testovaný Volkswagen Phaeton je tu v prodeji za 300 tisíc korun. Navíc je na něj možnost odpočtu DPH.
