Die Nibelungen: Siegfried (1924)

dir. Fritz Lang

[von-helden-lobebaeren]

Brünhild.

Maybe she was the eagle after all…

[toastedcinnamonflakes]

Siegfried wird nervös, wenn er zu lange in geschlossenen Räumen ist. Er fängt an, mit Zeug herumzuspielen, klopft mit den Fingern auf dem Tisch herum, auf seinem Knie, auf der Stuhllehne. Wenn er versucht, lange still zu sitzen, beginnt er ganz automatisch, mit einem Bein zu wippen.

Hagen ist die Ruhe selbst und kann gelassen zuhören, sich Notizen machen, ruhig sitzen.

Während Meetings sitzen sie meistens nebeneinander. Irgendwann reicht es Hagen, und er legt unter dem Tisch eine Hand auf Siegfrieds Knie, um das Wippen zu beenden. Siegfried scheint danach ruhiger zu sein. Hagen behält seine Hand für den Rest des Meetings dort.

Would anybody be interested in reading a Hagen/Siegfried fanfic, based on the movie „Hagen - Im Tal der Nibelungen“?

[naihaan]

Brunhild - almost exactly the way i imagine her to be, winged crown, haughty expression and all. And Alberich with his only two creations - his favourite one and Hagen.

Day 3

Favourite male character

I must confess that I too am not immune to Hagen. But since everyone else here has already written about him and I don't think that I can really add anything anymore I might as well write about Volker instead (and also because I have to hold a presentation about him in a few weeks).

Now the reason why I like Volker and consider him one of my favourites is actually very simple and superficial: He plays an instrument. I play an instrument (even if it's not the same one). I like fictional characters that play instruments (because they are rare). But that probably isn't a very satisfying answer to this already starving fandom so I guess I'll have to go into at least a bit more detail.

It's a bit more difficult to form an opinion about Volker than about the other more prominent characters because he doesn't appear for a chunk of it. When he reappears in the second half, the narrator has to actually introduce him a second time because by then the reader has probably already forgotten who he was, and that he already appeared during the war with the Danes and the Saxons as a standard bearer, and from then on he suddenly becomes a main character out of nowhere.

From then on he becomes one of those characters that probably the funniest to watch (or in this case read about), mainly because he is quite similar to Hagen in many respects and even worse in others. That man is so impulsive that even Mr. Let’s-provoke-the-woman-that-wants-to-kill-us(-and-other-genius-ideas) has to hold him back several times.

Also the sword-is-a-fiddle-fiddle-is-a-sword allegory thing that he has going on, is so extremely interesting because it is entirely unique to this character. The Nibelungenlied doesn’t really use a lot of allegories in the first place (the only slightly similar thing I can think of is “X made a woman cry” as a way of saying that X killed some guy, and also maybe Kriemhild and Ute’s dreams), and the one time that the Lied consistently uses such artistry like a stylistic device, it is for the one character that is also an artist, which I find very fitting.

Okay one more ask: Do you ever think about how Giselher was only one step away from escaping his family's nonsense by marrying into Rudiger's family? Only they still all had to go to that dang feast.

And another thought on the younger Nibelungs, just from the Norse material, I imagine Gernot has the iron stomach of the family and is willing to eat almost anything. Even Hagen's cooking, if he ever cooks.

It's the main reason I ship Giselher/Dietlinde. Do we get a lot about them? No, even if what little we do get is pretty cute imo. But do I think there was happiness and warmth and hope in their meeting, and that Giselher was probably thinking about coming back to Dietlinde and enjoying something safe and peaceful and far away from all the tensions and angst in his family with her? Yes.

And then, ofc, he dies a brutal death. And so does poor, honorable Rüdiger, his father-in-law. And thinking about Dietlinde and Gotelinde hearing the news after always kills me.

... and I wasn't expecting that Gernot headcanon after thinking about all that, but I love it. XD Just like I love the idea of Hagen being a terrible cook. XDD

Tbf, that last one is partly because, in Modern AU scenarios, I can't help but see Hagen as someone who would probably try to subsist mainly on black coffee and cigarettes if not for a vague, disgruntled awareness that he has to eat at least sort-of healthy to keep himself in shape. Tho that still doesn't stop him from being kind of hopeless in the kitchen. XD

(Btw, kind of off-topic but thinking about Hagen and cooking also made me think back to this delightful little fic, so have a random rec!)

Ich habe zum ersten Mal seit Wochen, wenn nicht Monaten was geschrieben, das keine Hausarbeit ist und es musste natürlich eine fanfic zu was Mittelhochdeutschem sein.

Ich präsentiere: eine Nibelungenlied fanfic zu den iconic gay men Hagen und Volker!

[haljathefangirlcat]

This isn't even the same imagery but... look, I simply HAD to.

okay I just had this mental image of Hagen delivering a presentation (with a flipchart!) called Top Three Reasons Kriemhild Should Not Marry Etzel. inspired by those stanzas in the NL (1204, 1206) where Gunther asks Hagen why they shouldn't let her marry; he asks that two times in a row, each time starting with "why", but Hagen doesn't provide a clear explanation until 1209 when Giselher arrives XD

(Mr. Reichert would totally say that Hagen likes Giselher WAY more than Gunther XD)

The frames are just as artistically done as the paintings themselves

I'm putting 15 on the cat. The shorter reach is what's gonna get most people, but they forget the higher agility and faster reaction time!

Ich habe das Gefühl, zu dem neuen "Hagen" Film könnte man eine Menge gute Fanfictions machen....ich meine... Siegfried und Hagens gegenseitiges Misstrauen, dann der wachsende Respekt...die Szene nackt im Wasser...der Betrug....Hagen, der sich am sterbenden Siegfried festklammert...ich sehe das Potential, meine Leute.
