Can you move aquarium fish to another country? And if so, how? I mean, I know they need a filtration system. So could you put their tank in a car/moving van/trailer hooked up to a car, and hook it up to a portable generator? And would you be able to get the tank through customs?

See, I’m working on an embryonic fic. My first in well over a decade. Damn, right now the fic is terrible, and may never see the light of day. But I have writers block because I’m stuck on logistics.

But in my fic idea, Wilhelm and Simon broke up during the university years. At 29 they run into each other again, perhaps at Felice’s wedding, perhaps at some other plot device to get them in the same room. And there are still sparks. They have a quickie in a closet and after that it’s really awkward. But eventually they start talking, texting, etc. And eventually decide to give it another shot.

But in this fic idea, Simon left Sweden as soon as he graduated from the Royal College of Music, because it was too painful seeing reminders of Wilhelm everywhere in Stockholm. He bounced around Europe for a few years before settling down in Berlin. Simon’s been working there as a singer, songwriter, and music producer. And he has a tank of tropical fish he adores and wouldn’t dream of just giving away.

After he and Wille have been doing the long distance thing for a while, Simon decides to move back to Stockholm. Wilhelm wants him to move in with him at Haga, but Simon is cautious, arranges to sign a 6 month lease on an apartment of his own. If things are still working out after 6 months, he’ll move in with Wilhelm in Haga.

But he has these fish, with a specially designed custom tank that was a present from Simon to Simon when he won his first major award. I’m pretty sure he can’t fly from Berlin to Stockholm with the tank in the cargo hold. Even if the airline would agree to take it, the unheated hold and the changes in air pressure during the flight might kill his tropical fish. I don’t know that for sure, but im thinking if air pressure on flights makes people’s ears pop, what coulf it do to poor innocent Nemo.

So I devised this plan for Ayub to fly to Berlin and help Simon drive from Berlin to Stockholm, with the fish and a portable generator.

They could drive from Berlin to Kiel, then take an 14 hour overnight ferry to Gotheburg. Did you know that on long ferry trips you can book a cabin so you can sleep during the voyage? So I’m envisioning Ayub and Simon checking on the fish on the vehicle deck every so often. And then in the morning they disembark.

They drive the car and trailer, or moving van they’ve hired or whatever, from Gothenburg to Stockholm. Where they can unload the custom fish tank and plug it in at Simon’s new apartment. And unload all the other crap they’d brought all the way from Germany.

But I’m not sure if that’s even possible. Would a ferry company agree to take a tank of live tropical fish on the vehicle deck, even contained? I know you can get portable generators that are electric rather than diesel. A good solar generator with the battery fully charged could keep the filtration system ticking along for a long time before needing more sunlight to recharge.

And now I have writers block because I’m stuck on the logistics of how to transport the fish. I have already considered (and discarded) the ideas of Simon not having fish as a 29 year old. Or of him giving them away to fellow fish fanciers in Berlin. An empty, unplugged custom fish tank would be much easier to transport. But I am stubborn.

This is the fish tank I had in mind, by the way. Because in my headcanon, future Simon also has a cat. Who he got after he already had fish.

The whole custom fish tank idea is a blatant ripoff of a ficlet written by….someone on Tumblr. There was this non-royal AU where Wilhelm lives in one of the fanciest apartments in a building, while Simon has a shoebox sized apartment in the same building. Wilhelm’s cat keeps escaping out the window to visit Simon, so he assumes it’s a stray and starts feeding it. He already has a tank of fish.

Simon and Wilhelm eventually meet in person (through “their” cat), and start dating. When Simon finally moves into Wille’s ridiculously large penthouse, Wilhelm orders a custom fish tank so Simon’s fish can be safe and have plenty of room to swim around. But Wille’s cat can enjoy aquatic observation.

I should note that the fic I’m working on stole ONLY the idea of a custom fish tank and a cat and a tank of fish coexisting. The rest is different. And if you’re the person who came up with the idea of Non-Royal Wilhelm’s cat deciding to set him up with Simon, please let me know. I can edit the post to link to your fic and credit your username.

Was wondering what would become of Zomers after Häcken loaned her to a club I can't remember right now. She didn't get much playing time but scored some goals. Has good qualities she can develop.

She fell down in Häcken's lap and wasn't a planned signing. Her bf (ex bf?) plays (played?) for the men's team and she moved from Iceland to Gotheburg to be with him. Her plan was to study at university and look up a local women's team not necessarily the top team. Häcken got a tips and she basically showed up at a training and wondered if she could testtrain for them. They were positively surprised by her and signed her to their women's A-squad. They have a women's team in a lower division to, then their development team played in division 1 and not like now when they play in the relegation league.

So earlier this year a tax was imposed on the kind of plastic disposable bags you find in the geens and veggies section of the grocery stores here in Sweden, which I heartily applauded. Most big chains rapidly supplied sufficiently durable paper bags, with a few models that handily double as compost bags for the kitchen compost. Of fucking course the right wing dude, formerly the head of the youth group of the largest rw party, now head of... some other fucking bourgeoisie propaganda organization comes out decrying this in several papers, talking about the horrors of taxation and the burden(!) imposed on the taxpayer. Now, plastic is rather ubiquitous in our societies, and I’m sure you all have seen some report or other that they’ve found plastic particles in the intestines of penguins  on fucking Antarctica or something. Well, something more close to home is the fact that the dirt used for flowerbeds, lawns and graves in the graveyards here in Gotheburg commonly has scraps of plastic bags in it. The sorting machinery they use can’t really get it out. The compost heaps are full of it, since visitors insist on throwing their plastic garbage in the clearly marked compost bins. Can’t be got rid of. And that’s just macroplastics. So when you die, you can be more or less sure that you’ll be buried among the refuse and debris of a society that has come across materials it simply was not suited to handle. It is fucking disgusting. Anyone trying to impede the shift away from plastics is either a brute or an imbecile.
