[fruifruit]

i like these kids :)

[cherrymoyas]

ngl whenever i see stuff like "prince florian is gonna betray mario!!" or "hes secretly a horrendous eldritch abomination!!" i get kinda annoyed.

first off, this is mario not kirby. two completely different franchises and no mario partner has ever done that before. plus kirbys literally only done that 2 times? come on

secondly it just makes no sense!! what kind of ulterior motive could this guy have. he asks us to beat up bowser and save his kingdom and we already KNOW bowser is evil. you guys think hes gonna sic the entire flower kingdom onto the mushroom kingdom or something after we save it? this is mario i dont think thats gonna happen

anyway let funny silly guys be silly and fun! we are going to save his kingdom and he will be grateful and happy

I love it 🙌🏼🙌🏼

@/iMiaSanMia: 📸🇩🇪 The team has arrived in Dortmund ahead of tomorrow's game against France

[marukuroshima]

My AU’s family tree + Noelle and Rudy designs !

Also : Rudy, Asgore, Toriel, Philomena, Gaster and Eidothea were a group of friends when they were younger, so they kids used to play together as well (expect papyrus who was a baby and Felix and Noelle who weren’t born yet.)

A lot of drama happened, causing the families to break. Little Sans ran away from his dad and ended up being adopted by Philomena but sadly couldn’t bring Papyrus, who was only a baby… Papyrus never knew why his brother ran, since Gaster raised him normally. He’s not an abuser. Toriel got disgusted of Asgore and left with Asriel… The underground got split in two kingdoms… It’s a messy story, I admit it.

If you want to know more about my AU, you can check Troublemaker’s wiki page ! It contains a lot of informations, despite him not being the protagonist of it (the protagonists being Frisk, Felix and Florian/monster kid)

Here’s the link : https://undertale-au-fanon.fandom.com/wiki/Troublemaker!Sans

Anyway, back to the tree !

I wanted to add some deltarune characters for fun and also didn’t want Asgore to end up alone so Noelle and her father Rudy are a part of my AU ! Rudy works in a library in my AU. They won’t be an important part of the story, I just wanted a new beginning and a happy ending for Asgore ! So I decided that these two would have a cameo in my UT AU despite being Deltarune characters And beside, isn’t Deltarune technically an AU ?

Please don’t judge, I’m only doing this for fun!

Also, here are the ages of the characters !

+ •Rudy : 59

• Noelle : 17

(And many more coming soon !)

Hope you like my work ! Have a nice day/night !

This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the #nfcdab project, which could not exist without the trust of the artists. The idea was born at a time when not everyone was aware of the coming revolution in the reception of digital content caused by the advent of smartphones. In 2014, QR codes or NFC tags were a technology on the verge of becoming commonplace, and the same was true of wireless Internet and unfettered access to the Internet. 10 years later, we are in very different times. That's why we trusted the idea of DIWO, which is an important element of this - let's not be afraid to use the word: "research" project. The whole concept would not have been possible thanks to the help from browserbased.org and noemata.net in the persons of Zsolt Mesterhazy and Bjørn Magnhildøen, I must also mention Brian Khuu being our Australian liaison to the antipodes, and I want to thank the many people who have helped us over the years in organizing our shows: Konstantina Mavridou, Radovan Misovic aka Rad0, Tibor Horvath, Florian Kuhlmann.

Florian Rudy Interview (spring 2018)

Sorry for misspelled words. This was recorded before the world cup in Russia 2018 took place.

F:      My name is Florian Rudy. I’m 29 years old. And I live in Stuttgart.

N:     Who is your brother?

F:      Well, I have more than one brother. (laughs). The oldest is Sebastian. And I guess he is the one that this interview is all about. And then I have Felix and Maximilian too. And a sister as well.

N:     And your sister is older, younger?

F:      My sister is in the middle. She’s 19 years old.

N:     Did she enjoy being between all the older and younger boys?

F:      I think it wasn’t so easy for her in the beginning. Having three big brothers. She really had to deal with a lot. And I think she just handed it down to the youngest sibling and she was able to let everything out on him. But now I think it has alot of advantages. I think three big brother that protect her is always good.

N:     Really nice. Do you feel good today?

F:      Absolutely! I was really looking forward for this interview today! And I’m very motivated.

N:     Good. Well then tell us something about yourself. Back when you were little. How did you discover sports? Has football been already very present in your family?

F:      Yes football has always played a big role in our family. It has always been a topic of discussion. We are a complete football-family in that regard. My father played himself. I think he also played with Jürgen Klinsmann in one team. My mother was a football fan as well. She is from Kaiserslautern. She has always been on the Betzenberg (Stadium in Kaiserslautern) … so for us as children we had the perfect circumstances in that regard. And thats what they handed over to us as kids. We grew up with football from the very beginning. And we… I think I was five years old and Sebastian four – when we both started playing football. So those were the first steps we took.

N:     I mean if you are young have you guys – or you in particular – thought about doing different sports? I mean there are so many other sports you can try – other than football.

F:      Yeah sure. I would say football has always been our main sport, simply because of our parents. But my parents also insisted to try out other sports as well. We also played tennis and ice hockey.  But then slowly those sports took a step back in our lives and it all narrowed down to football again. Because we also made to the upper youth teams as kids around at VfB Stuttgart, where he went at a very young age. And then we didnt have enough time for other sports.

N:     But those changes in terms of sports – how does puberty play a role? I mean it is still very young…

F:      Sure. Sebastian was fourteen and I was fifteen years old.

N:     Leaving home at that young age – how was it like for you guys?

F:      Lets put it this way: at the beginning we didn’t leave our home immediately. Only our parents had to drive us to Stuttgart every day. Almost 100 kilometers…

N:     How about all the other siblings? Did they have to go with you guys… or were they brought to their grandmother? But it really consumed the daily life of the family…

F:      Absolutely! Sebastian and I – we were driven to Stuttgart for practice. The others were smaller back then, they stayed home. One year after that – my path took me to Kaiserslautern and so I had to move out my parents home at the age of fifteen. But that wasn’t a problem at all for me. I always wanted to go out and see the world and explore stuff. I think it was difficult for our mom though. The fact that the first son leaves home… yeah.

N:     Well you then have a lot of practice sessions; games over the weekends… did you develop other hobbys? I mean especially at that young age and if you want to explore the world… Or are you this much into football and everything? Because you have to pay special attention to your body and all… I dont think you were able to go into clubs until the early morning every now and then…

F:      Hm, well I think you dont pay that much attention to your body at that age. You dont listen as much to your body because you try to do more and more… and try everything. But football really dictated our day. It was only school, football, eating and sleeping… thats it.

N:     Did you expericence like mood swings? Having days where you woke up and thought „I dont want to do anything today“?

F:      I cant recall anything like that, no.

N:     Oh ok. It was pure fevor!?

F:      Absolutely. I mean it started very early. We used to get back home from school. Throwing away your school bags, grab your friends and went outside to the local football pitch and we played the whole day. I dont think many boys and girls do not do this anymore. Because of cellphones, I-pads and so on… but it was exactly like this back in the day. We played on the field, on the streets…

N:     Did you use like furniture or things at home to play football?

F:      Oh yeah! (laughs). Many! (laughs). Especially if we started playing in the living room with dad. And then my mother came from the back and yelled „Stop it!“ (laughs). Back in the day, we even took the playpen of your youngest brother Maximilian and try to kick the ball into it from everywhere in our house. (laughs).

N:     How many pair of shoes did you need over the year with all this football playing going on?

F:      Absolutely. Every few months we needed new shoes. Also because our feet grew. We needed new ones all the time. And those pairs usually wear themselves off very quick.

N:     Do you remember back in your rooms… did you have – especially from the national team or german football – posters of any big idols or role models? Or players that where very special for you? They don’t have to be german (laughs).

F:      No, well I have to think. I for my part had a jersey and a poster of Cristiano Ronaldo. Sebastian has always been a Leverkusen fan. He had Leverkusen bed linen and he one poster of Bernd Schneider in his room.

N:     I guess its always a dream coming true if you suddently end up playing with or against these player or team for that matter. Sounds exciting…

F:      Absolutely yeah. Its like a dream if you witness something like that.  

N:     Do you have a certain kind of nickname for each other?

F:      (smirks) Yeah, my brother has a family nickname which I dont want to reveal (laughs). But just „Basti“ or “Sippi” thats what his teammates call him regularly. And mine is „Flo“ like many can guess.

N:     Did you have a favorite dish at home? Is there something that just bonds you and him?

F:      Nothing in particular. But back when we were kids, we used to have Maultaschen. That was really our favorite food. We used to have competitions on who can eat more Maultauschen. And this lead to a situation once, where my father intervened because Sebastian already had – I think – nineteen of those and he was scared something bad is about to happen to him. (laughs).

N:     Oh my… stomach pain! (laughs)

F:      Yeah exactly (laughs). But he said he could have eaten more.

N:     Ahm, you yourself also used to play football for some time. And also successful. So how has your path changed? Did you reach physical boundaries? Or how did you experience it?

F:      No not at all. I’m very fit today. I quit playing football at 26 years of age. Thats my personal dead line I had set myself. Because you want to play in the Bundesliga or Second Division around that age – I was playing Third Division and thats were I decided to quit. But I’m still very fit physically like I was back then. But in the end it was a decision about my future. What happens down the road? What do you still want to accomplish? What do you want to do next? And thats were I put an end to professional football.

N:     But wasn’t that more of a decision of reason or was it more like lovesickness and… I guess you still play football, right?

F:      No I quit football completely.

N:     Completely?

F:      Yes, completely. But of course I didnt stop doing sports. I did a lot of fitness training. Running. Going to the gym. I tried out many other things. I once rode my bike 200 kilometers home from Hoffenheim. Or I ran a marathon – so I tried these things as well.

N:     How was the marathon experience?

F:      It was a cool one. I got to know my personal boundaries.

N:     In what time?

F:      I think it was around four hours… I have never trained for a marathon.

N:     But four hours is an impressive time…

F:      It was a quick reaction.

N:     Where did you run?

F:      I for myself ran in Heidelberg. I just told some of my buddies on Friday „Hey I will run a marathon on Monday“ and I never ran a longer distance than 10 kilometers before. So I did it.

N:     And you weren‘t able to walk for three days after that?

F:      I was injured for eight weeks after that. (laughs)

N:     (laughs). I know stories of people running a marathon with no preparation.

F:      Yeah, I really wanted to proof to everyone that I can do it. And I did. But of course I haven’t thought about the consequences about things that can happen or go broke afterwards.

N:     So you also closely followed the development your brother. Did you follow him all the way? Where you with him? Or to put it differently: will you go to Russia to see him play?

F:      Sure. We will fly to Russia with our whole family yeah. Or I will be there – sure.

        (9:56min)

N:     Are you excited?

F:      Sure! It’s his first world cup. That itself is special, but playing your first one is even more special I think.

N:     Do you think of something special as a family in Russia?

F:      Actually we haven’t thought about it yet.

N:     Your relationship with Russia? Have you been there before?

F:      Yes during the Confed Cup. I flew over for the final with my mom and dad and my brother Felix. We watched the final. We saw Saint Petersburg – a great city! Very nice city. But thats all I can say about Russia.

N:     So you there’s a lot more to come…

F:      Absolutely. Since I like to travel anyway and I like to explore the world… I always enjoy seeing new cities.

N:     So what about yourself. Where are you now? You started to study. What did you study?

F:      Right. I started to study sports business management after I quit playing football. And I tried to position myself on as many different fields possible. I went to Hoffenheim and trained with Julian Nagelsmann. I was part of his coaching staff with the U19 team. And I went through all branches there basically. Yes and the studies. So thats how I tried to position myself as good as I can. I also started an apprenticeship as a personal trainer. And last year I started an consulting agency with Christian Nerlinger.

N:     And you are consulting football players… ?

F:      Yes, for professional football players. And Sebastian is one of them – of course.

N:     Has this always been part of your life? Didn’t you at one point… or let me put it differently: when you were five years old, what did you want to become initially? Like firefighter? Doctor? Pilot?

F:      Well, the big goal has always been being a professional football player.

N:     So then, when you started with your studies, it had to be something with football?

F:      Not necessarily. My major at university doesn’t really has to do alot with football. Sport generally has always been important to me. And I needed a break for a while, once I quit football as a player. I was really burned-out I have to say. And thats why I wasn’t able to watch an awful lot of football shortly afterwards. But after a while I was fine again and I was able to watch football in a comftable and relaxed manner.

N:     Your brother became father just recently.

F:      Correct.

N:     Sounds like it’s going to be difficult to play now and being away for a long period of time. Or do they travel with him?

F:      His son is with his wife. And yes she takes care of him, since Sebastian is away very often and she isn’t able to travel alot yet. She just gave birth a week ago. And I think he was very happy to go back home right after the game of the national team recently.

N:     That’s a new treasure…

F:      Absolutely! Its a complete new chapter in his life. Not only for his life, but for us as a family as well. My parents became grand-parents for the first time. I became an uncle for the first time. A special moment – yes.

N:     How do think the tournament will go? Is there something you wish?

F:      I wish my brother gets enough time on the pitch to play. And hopefully Germany plays an successful world cup.

N:     Do you think you will soon carry a fifth star on your jersey?

F:      Thats a difficult… ahm… alot oft hings have to work out perfectly at the same time. Sometimes you need luck. Your performance on a specific day. How do the other teams do? It’s really tough to remain world champions – it would be nice if it would work. That would be a giant event – giant miracle. But I think it’s going to be tough.

N:     Do you have secret favourite team to win? Is there a favourite team or are we all in for a surprise?

F:      I dont think there’s a secret favourite. The Spanish team is strong as usual. I think they will play an important role.

N:     Well, then lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for a good world cup. And that you will be successful in your personal goals.

F:      Thank you very much.

N:     And what do you wish for yourself in the next couple of years?

F:      For me personally?

N:     Yup.

F:      There are alot of things on my personal agenda this year. I just recently moved in together with my girlfriend.

N:     A new chapter for you?

F:      Yeah, I mean we are in a relationship for a couple of years now, things have changed since we only live together for about half a year. In a positive way. And I’m very excited to contine to go down that path. My girlfriend also starts working now. She works for Daimler. A totally new chapter for her as well. Then we will see how my personal development will progress – with my agency. Many exciting things to come – for sure. And then let’s see how planing in terms of family will go. (smirks)
