I can't believe Fatou and Kieu My have been dating for almost three years now

[evakuality]

4 years of Druck s3 - week 7

Things of note in this episode:

1.  This is probably my favourite episode and so this is likely to be lengthy!

2.  I really love how this conversation with Hans differs from the og.  In a lot of ways I prefer this one, unlike the one in episode 5.  In this, first, Matteo says ‘if it makes you happy’ he’ll call him his guru and I love that change in the dynamic.  Plus, I really do love that Hans is attuned enough to religion that he takes Matteo into church to have this conversation (and so Matteo’s mother does in a way see him in church that day).  I think it’s very important that a lot of Matteo’s issues about all this stem from religion and so taking him into a place of religion to demystify it is so important.  Also, Hans’s advice about David isn’t that he’s probably playing Matteo (as Eskild suggests to Isak), but that he’s probably not out and needs time and respect for that or to be left alone.  It resonates in a different way, and the fact that this religious breakthrough happens at Easter is a really lovely touch.  Plus we get the whole bit about Matteo’s mother, and he’s able to come to terms with her and her issues in a way that leaves him much calmer and more at peace.  Compare the above picture to this one from the start of the episode:

This earlier Matteo was so sad and he was at seas and all confused.  But at least he knew that going to Hans would help - and was able to do it even when Hans had been so upset with him before.  And kudos to Hans for seeing past all that and recognising that Matteo genuinely does need a gay guru and being that person for him.  This conversation has done exactly what Matteo needed it to and he’s so much happier and more at ease both with the David thing and with his mother.  

3.  Speaking of religion, this whole bit with Amira is a) so lovely and b) so important.  After their previous discussion, this has needed to be addressed and she does it in such a gracious way - which he returns.  I do think that without the chat with Hans he may have been less keen to hear what Islam thinks about homosexuality but together these two conversations have really helped him unpack some of his prejudices about religion, and he is far more willing and able to open up to hi9s mother with the hope that she won’t reject him.  I absolutely love that ‘for Easter’ Amira’s family has made some food to share, thus showing Matteo that religion can be open and accepting of other faiths, cultures and lifestyles.  Amira doesn’t just tell him she and her religion accept him, she shows him and it’s very powerful.  Even if her bringing outside food into a cafe worries me, since you’re absolutely not allowed to do it here.

4.  I really love the colours in this episode - they’re so much warmer and more cheerful than the previous ones.  Partly that’s because this was Easter and the colours work really well for that time of year.  But also because Matteo is starting to warm up and open up into his new self.  I am, once again, so impressed by the way light and colour is used in this show.  It’s just soooo goooooood.

I also love how much Carlos has grown - Kiki has such strong views and she wants everyone to agree with them.  In a lot of her life, people just don’t (I imagine Zoe must be such a stress for her, for example), but Carlos, who has been shown as a bit of a lad and quite ignorant and occasionally offensive, has taken it all on board and you can see it in the way he acts and the things he says now.  He enjoys his new knowledge and certainly has a lot of sensitivity to people and their relationships.  He’s the one who knew things were off with Matteo and Sara, and he’s the one who moves to listen actively to Matteo here and who says things he hopes are supportive and encouraging.

5.  Sara.  This poor kid.  We see here the culmination of everything that’s been going wrong in her life and it must have been so hard seeing Matteo in the midst of all this.  But I like to think that she feels lighter and happier after this is done.  We do know what she reaches out to Leonie after Matteo suggests that talking to people helps.  If we compare this picture of her to the way she was shown in s1 and even 2, she’s so diminished, shot from above and looks so weak and vulnerable.  Even compared to the social media post she made wearing this exact outfit, she looks different.  But it’s maybe like a wound being lanced - like Matteo she was trying to put up a facade, live a fake life in that earlier post.  But now she’s able to be real and yeah that hurts but it’s better and they will both be able to move on and be happier more authentic people in the aftermath.

6.  Speaking of hurting - Matteo makes so much great progress this episode and he’s able to become a happier and more settled person.  But at the core is this boy who misses the boy he thought he was creating something nice with.  He told Hans he ‘can’t believe’ that David doesn’t want him and I think that makes this even harder.  The pictures and videos David sends are sending him mixed messages.  On one hand, he’s keeping up the contact and trying to maintain something with Matteo - on the other, this stuff is all ‘it’s not you it’s me’ ‘in a different life we’d be in Detroit’ etc etc.  There’s no hint that things can be ‘real’ between them in this life and so Matteo keeps having these small moments of sadness throughout the episode.

7.  And so that’s why this whole part is tinged with a melancholy.  Unlike in other versions, there’s no passion here, no ‘throwing caution to the wind’ or anything.  Instead it’s so gentle and cautious, so fragile.  There’s a sigh of relief that David is here, but neither of them is at ease.  Of course, we start to understand David’s thing the next day.  But even here it’s so clear why Matteo feels the way he does - everything since David told him he’s not into him has been such a rollercoaster that it’s not possible for him to throw caution to the wind.  He’s felt so much sadness and heartbreak about David even this week that he can’t allow himself to fully dive into this moment.  And of course we’re left with this shot of David’s face and we get to see that he’s not happy either.  It’s a long long few hours til the next morning and David’s secret!

Some thoughts on Heartstopper s2:

Overall, I liked Tara and Darcy's arc, but I wish it had been set up better. I got the impression in s1 that Tara and Darcy have been dating forever, maybe even since they were like 13-14, and I just can't believe that the ilu issue hadn't come up yet. Particularly on a show like this when even platonic friends will say ilu to each other all the time. I think a better way to set up the sl would've been:

show Tara saying ilu to Darcy without expecting reciprocation, portrayed like it's something she does all the time.

show Tara longingly watching Nick and Charlie saying ilu to each other.

have Tara say ilu to Darcy now with the hope/expectation that Darcy will say it back.

everything else takes place exactly as it did on the show.

Similarly, I loved Tao and Elle's arc. I was really looking forward to their getting together after s1, and throughout the season I was 😍😍😍😍. I just didn't connect with Elle's mood after the movie date. I guess I myself would've been disappointed, but not to that extent, and so that part didn't work for me.

While I'm glad that Imogen will be wlw (more in a sec), a part of me wishes she hadn't been just to compare the way people reacted to her character in s1 vs s2. Because really, Imogen acted exactly the same in both seasons (it was the way the dude treated her that changed), but I can't imagine people would have the same reactions towards her with Nick vs towards her with Ben.

I do hope Imogen will be a lesbian, mostly because of the lesbian lighting. That being said, I wish it was Sahar who got the self-discovery arc. In the end though, I want a wlw to get the Heartstopper self-discovery arc, and I look forward to whatever happens with Imogen (and Sahar!).

I was also looking forward to Isaac's arc and it didn't disappoint. I think Isaac is the first explicitly ace character (maybe also aro?) with a self-discovery arc I've watched, and I was really interested in how it was going to be portrayed. I love Isaac's actor's smile, I think he's so cute.

Olivia Colman put her whole pussy into that family dinner scene, whew! Nick's mom's role wasn't that large, but she stole the show with her facial expressions and her whole "I just don't know wtf is wrong with this man!" attitude.

I feel sorry for Ben despite his whole evil Mark Owen thing, but I also like that Alice Oseman chose not to redeem him. I am mighty tired of bullies and abusers getting half baked redemption arcs (hi Druck s7 and s8), and it's plausible for Ben to just not be there yet. I think Heartstopper as a comic and show has people being lovely more often than not. So I think it's a brave choice not to redeem Ben, and let us give him a happier ending in our mind if we so wish.

And on that note I really appreciate that Heartstopper allows its characters to call out bullies, abusers, bad parents, and tells its audiences they don't have to forgive bad treatment if they don't want to. For a show that's been so criticized for being wholesome (i.e. sexless) and, for that reason, not ~challenging~ enough, I think allowing its characters not to forgive is actually a subtly subversive choice. I think just about any other teen show would've made Charlie allow his former bullies into the party because the ringleader had been a bit nicer in the Eiffel Tower. Imo it's details like that that show an actually queer person is behind the show, compared to the shows produced, written or directed by straight people.

Hiii, ik it's been a while sorry about that pooks but I watched it, they're so cute, Bobbie is so pretty I'm gay lol, and honestly same I haven't watched all of them bc I mostly watch the wlw seasons sorry not sorry, but Evak season it's just so good also I love how the use social media I think that's one of my favorites things, abt the vilde/Nora season oml actually that was the only one I watched besides the gays, but I genuinely don't like the Nora and other guy relationship it's so icky I'm sorry, and vilde is so cute I'm sorry I forget the name in Spanish I'm so bad with names, also the special clips with Joana that last season ate fr, and I too have beef with skam France 😒 and about the new fic

Ok so maybe I'm a bit dumb, but are we dead on the WandaVision fics, bc most of the time, I like to believe we for some reason, situation, circumstance we just grew apart yk, bc it's too sad to imagine we're actually dead, unless the fic very specifically says so, but, I want to know what you say dear author

-🐜

Oh my god, I love talking about Skam so it's your fault I got carried away and this got long.

YES, Nell Cattrysse (Bobbie) is insanely beautiful, both girls are in fact but that's no surprise because Skam has a talent for finding these supermodels for their roles, I remember seeing the Norwegian version as a teenager and being speechless at how beautiful Noora was. But anyway, I'm glad you liked the seasons!! I love knowing that someone else liked it, because it's my favorite series ever and I don't have any friends who watch it to talk about it. I can't judge you for going for the gays seasons, I think you're absolutely right actually. Time is precious and we must always prioritize queers' narratives. In the Spanish version, I think it was the intention that the couple (Nora and the toxic guy whose I don't remember name) gave us the ick, she would only be with Alejandro (the William of this version) at the end, and I heard something about the directors having decided on the narrative of an abusive relationship for Nora precisely because Norway William was toxic and the relationship was not well worked on. It was a dig at the original, I would say. In the end, none of the straight couples really interest me in almost any version. For me, the best Vilde to date is from NL Skam, she was very sweet and I feel so bad that she never got her own season. Druck's Vilde (Kiki) has the most striking personality and was very shippable with Mia (Noora in this version). MY BABY JOANA I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISES ABOUT HER - I can hardly believe she had a happy ending that didn't ignore the difficulties of her illness. And she was so beautiful in the extra scenes, it was so special. And I think we all have problems with Skam France, right? I still can't believe that of all the couples, the sapphics were the ones they separated. It was really frustrating. Good thing fanfics exist.

NOW SPEAKING OF WANDA -

I didn't think of an exact plot for these rewritten scenes; they are just one-shots really. Reader replaces Vision in the story and that's it - In one of them I mention that Reader is on the other side of the world being stitched back together giving the idea that the original was really dead but I didn't really think about any plot. We can pretend that Y/N is a representation of Wanda's love and grief created by the stone as Vision was, it is really the choice of whoever is reading. If I'm ever going to do a series about Wandavison, I'll definitely start from scratch and ignore these ones haha

now this is too long so byee <3

[best-fnaf-song-competition]

As of me sending this ask, A Pizza The Action is at 44.1% and I Can't Fix You is at 55.9%

A Pizza The Action is losing </3 so here's my propaganda >:]

I myself am a big TLT fan! I love their old songs, covers, remixes, and even TLT's newer songs! (Discord, September, Epoch, My Ordinary Life, Druck and all just a few faves that immediately come to mind for me) And AS a big TLT fan. I don't want the next round to be 3 TLT songs. I definitely don't want the finale to be ALL TLT songs

Also?? A Pizza The Action is SO SO good. It's so so good please go watch and listen to it.The production quality?! The Talent?! The Music Video?! The song itself?! It all SO GOOD

(And then listen to more Stupendium songs that aren't Fnaf bc they all slap. I love their Poppy Playtime song and I don't even like Poppy Playtime. The songs. And the costumes!! It's all so good it's so so good oh my gosh (other Stupendium songs I enjoy are The Most Fashionable Faction, What A Fowl Day, and sometimes I listen to the horror holiday songs for silly fun. And!! Android Hell Blues! Which doesn't seem to be on their channel but was written and composed by the Stupendium. Man I absolutely adore that one)

OK ok back to A Pizza The Action-

A PIZZA THE ACTION IS ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD!!! EVERY OTHER FNAF SONG LEFT IN THIS COMPETITION RANGES FROM 6-8 YEARS OLD!!!! A Pizza The Action is completely nostalgia free babey, so I'm always really proud of its progress as i know its something people aren't just voting for bc it's a familiar friend :,]

Additional notes:

1: I think it'd be really fucking cool if A Pizza The Action vs Fnaf 1 was the finale. Imagine. I wouldn't even care who won it'd be so fun

2: Sorry I keep insulting I Can't Fix You, I don't actually mind it all that much, but it killed alot of my faves, and I genuinely do feel like nostalgia has been affecting the votes for it (I think thats whats happening for pretty much any song that's 6+ years old so yknow) (don't take me seriously) (I'm just willing to die on really small hills) (and I love hating things) (I Can't Fix You is real good tho when I'm in the mood for it)

Additional propaganda (if A Pizza The Action wins)

1: More cat and kitten pictures

2: I'll show yall pics of my room which I have been working for awhile to paint like a fnaf location. I should have a floor by the time this poll is over (hopefully)

3: (bonus) I will Draw Cosmo and Circus Baby hanging out. I don't draw animatronics all that often so I can't promise much, but I will try my very best

Closing Notes: Music good. And goodnight

Okay at this point everyone has to vote a pizza the action just from the sheer amount of art people have offered to make if it wins oh my GOD

We respect artists in this house!!! Stupendium puts their whole heart into everything!!! If you didn't vote for a pizza the action please go appreciate the art that is the video and song itself because holy shit holy shit holy shit

Also! While we're talking about the other bangers they've made! My personal favorites are Find The Keys (it took me ages to realize the title was a pun and I'm an animator), The Fine Print (I don't even know the source material, the lyrics here just go Hard), and Why Did I Say Okie Doki? (HOW DO THEY SO PERFECTLY MATCH THE STYLE OF THE GAME WHEN MAKING VIDEOS also the song just slaps)

We Can Make No Anthem

by Prevalent_Masters

The old Sander Driesen could not imagine war. He could not imagine death. He could not imagine this fight lasting longer than a few months, even as the Germans overwhelmed them, even as he loaded a gun with inexperienced, fumbling hands, even as he shot it over and over again, even as he watched men die around him and his city go up in flames. He could not imagine what would come as he walked through rain and mud with the remains of his division west to the IJzer. He could not imagine what would come even after that first true battle, sunk down in trenches for two weeks straight, peppered by machine gun fire and shrapnel, awake for days at a time and walking over, sitting on, tripping over, shitting on corpses–even then. Even then. The mind cannot wrap itself around such horrors. Sometimes, instead, it simply breaks apart.

okay here we go. I know I've made a post explaining this like six times. but. imagine for a moment it's the end of skam austin season 4 and they do a classic druck (i think it was just druck) end credits dance scene set to this song (or like the last minute or two or something) and the small screen of the cast dancing turns to full screen in the very last bit of the song and it's just valeria vera (she's either distinctly in costume/character or not it doesn't matter either way) and she lip syncs to the "here we go again" lyric cut to black and we've just teased jo season 5

[calliettes-posts]

In a different timeline Zoe and Finn would be still together and Yara would have a great female love interest with a great developed plot

[marianiguez]

And you're telling me that they aren't the Problem????

R. hat sich in den Schritt gepackt, während die Tochter der Königin von Spanien neben ihm stand. Natürlich nuuuur im Augenblick der Freude, weil Spanien das Spiel gewonnen hat. Da ist der erste Griff natürlich der zum Schritt.

R. hat Jenni auf den MUND geküsst und sie hat danach deutlich gemacht, dass sie es NICHT wollte und sie sich total unwohl gefühlt hat. Und was macht V.? Er unterstützt seine Spielerinnen nicht, sondern setzt die Familien unter Druck, um sie zu einem falschen Statement zu bringen, nennt sie verwöhnte Gören. Und wenn die Spielerin dann trotzdem noch Nein sagt, wird ein Statement verfasst, wo behauptet wird, dass der Kuss von beiden Seiten okay war... And you are telling me that they aren't the Problem?!? If they can’t behave for two hours while knowing the world is watching, imagine what they’re like the rest of the time

[evakuality]

4 years of Druck s3 - week 2

Things of note in this episode:

1.  It’s still sad boy time!  Having just rewatched Skam s3, it’s such a stark difference between the two boys.  Isak holds his sadness far closer to his chest.  On the surface he seems like one of the bros and is happy enough to go about his life.  But here, Matteo is definitely showing it even if he tries to sort of cover it.  Jonas even checks in with him about it because it is noticeable to the others.  It’s nice to be so fully reminded of the differences.

2.  However, our boy shows some signs of happiness when he’s with David and I really like that the change is so obvious in the film techniques, (body language, costuming etc etc ) I’ve talked about that at length before so I won’t rehash now but it remains a beautifully made difference.  This part really highlights for me the things Matteo is experiencing: the hopeful and considering way he looks at David vs the uneasy and apathetic way he is with Sara.  Again, it’s not fair to her but I can see why she falls for his lies - the social media is so playful even when we can see him on screen being very unhappy as he does parts of it.

3. Kiki in this episode is so fascinating.  She has this vision of how life should be and is so annoyed when Matteo (quite reasonably) doesn’t want to let her into his home for her party.  Instead of taking no for an answer, she gets progressively more pissed off with what she sees as obstinance.  Of course, lovely Hanna then comes in as the peacemaker and smooths it over.  But it really does highlight how desperate Kiki is to maintain control over something in her life even as her home life is obviously crumbling already.

4.  Jonas is still so considerate of Hanna and her feelings and I love him for that.  Abdi bumbles around being stupid about how he and Jonas can’t go out because they want to pick up girls, Jonas shuts him down quickly.  I used to think this was about Kiki and her annoyance, but watching it this time, it seems clear that Jonas is shining attention towards Hanna.  I like that we do get hints that neither of them is fully past what they had: it makes the eventual reunion make a lot of sense.

5.  Carlos’s comment that of course he loves Kiki otherwise he wouldn’t be dating her should have been a hint to Matteo but sadly he’s too busy fantasising about a swilring David.  And so unfortunately, instead of acknowledging this and doing the decent thing and breaking up with Sara, Matteo keeps dragging the whole thing out as time moves on.

6.  I’m still baffled that the school allowed this specific ‘motto week’ day to go ahead.  They must know why David changed schools and any reasonable admin would know this could be potentially very tough for him.  I understand in the context of a show why you’d do it, but the school?... hmmmm.   I like to imagine that David sees that Matteo isn’t dressing up and it makes him feel even more positively towards him, allowing him to ‘save’ Matteo in his turn on the bus (blurry photo of David, sorry, but bonus ‘??????’ from Matteo as he tries to work out what David is up to)

[ismaelontherun]

So this is on my mind since Sunday, maybe it helps if i just rant a bit.

So 3 Things first:

A.) I am sober since New Year

B.) It's not very far.

C.) I am barefoot.

So on Saturday, some friends and me participated in a small soccer/football competition. I was the driver as i am not drinking anyway and they wanted to drink.

For the Competition itself... well it was a penalty shootout. Very easy. We got DEAD LAST. Wich is fine we where there for the fun of it.

So the afternoon rolls around everyone was drinking and just hanging out and time passes, at the evening there was a Band. Everything goes by fine, but the alcohol consumption slowly creeped in.

So at this point 00:00 AM. Point A and Point C kind of get important. Druck people are not always fun when sober and also they tend to make a huge mess... My social Battery is at it's end as i had to deal with people for over 12h. So i go around collecting my Friends / ask them if they want to stay or they want to go. Wich as you can imagin is annoying AF.

Most of them are dead drunk at this point, but still want to Party on. I have repeated myself 3-4 times that I. THE DRIVER. am going home. I was a mess my feet where sticky i was sweaty and the atmosphere was not for me anymore.

~01:00AM So now i am at home. I shower lie into my bed and be happy.

So i thought. Well you guys don't know me that well yet but... I am a person you can always reach. I mean ALWAYS. As you can imaging, this was a bad idea. 02:30AM i get called by as you can guess! MY FRIENDS wich insited they would take a Cab/Taxi.

Well they did not actually driectly ask me to get them, but the senseless rambling only someone with no braincapacity left could utter. I took a strong guess.

So i stood up. Dressed myself and drove back. When i got there it was a mess. One went missing one was just lying around/nearly puking! Others tried to stand.

03:30AM i am at home again. Noone puked thankfully into my Car. It was a long Day/Night. I go back sleep.

The only thought i had left was. Is this how it is to have Teenagers? Am I a parent now?

[Interview] mit Ken Follett zum 30. Geburtstag seines Weltbestsellers „Die Säulen der Erde“

„Die Säulen der Erde“ – ein Weltbestseller feiert einen ganz besonderen Geburtstag. Hätten Sie sich jemals träumen lassen, dass Ihr erster historischer Roman über das Mittelalter solch eine Karriere haben würde? Ja, ich habe mir das in der Tat so vorstellen können. Allerdings hat niemand sonst daran geglaubt, als das Buch seinerzeit veröffentlicht wurde. Die Resonanz war bescheiden. In der „New York Times“ erschien eine fürchterliche Besprechung. Zu Beginn unterschieden sich die Verkaufszahlen nicht wesentlich von denen meiner vorherigen Bücher. Aber dann starteten die Verkäufe plötzlich durch. Die ersten Leserstimmen tauchten auf, die erklärten: „Das ist das beste Buch, das ich jemals gelesen habe!“, was definitiv bei keinem meiner früheren Bücher passiert ist. Und so langsam begann ich zu realisieren, dass ich da etwas ganz Besonderes geschrieben hatte. In „Die Säulen der Erde“ führen Sie uns zum ersten Mal in den von Ihnen erfundenen Ort Kingsbridge. Mittlerweile haben sie zwei weitere Kingsbridge-Romane geschrieben, die auch beide Weltbestseller wurden. Wenn Sie vor mehr als 30 Jahren gewusst hätten, dass Sie so viel Zeit in Kingsbridge verbringen würden, hätte Sie in ihrer imaginären Stadtplanung etwas anders gemacht? Ja, auf alle Fälle hätte ich mir einen aufregenderen Namen als „Kingsbridge“ einfallen lassen. Aber ich kann mich nicht beschweren. Mein Bild meiner erfundenen Stadt ist über die Jahre organisch gewachsen, ein bisschen hier, ein wenig da, ganz wie ein richtiger Ort. Wenn Sie eine Zeitreise machen dürften, mit welcher Ihrer Hauptfiguren würden Sie gerne zu Abend essen? Aliena. Und sehr wahrscheinlich würde ich sie fragen, ob sie meine Frau werden möchte. Und wem würden Sie auf gar keinen Fall begegnen wollen? William Hamleigh. Würde ich ihm auf meiner Zeitreise jemals begegnen, wäre ich mehr als froh, wenn ich eine Pistole bei mir hätte. „Die Säulen der Erde“ hat rund um den Globus viele Menschen in den unterschiedlichsten Weisen inspiriert, es wurde eine TV-Serie gedreht, Spiele wurden entwickelt, ein Musical komponiert, Eltern haben ihre Kinder nach Ihren Charakteren benannt, in Quiz-Shows werden Fragen zu Ihrem Buch gestellt. Was war für Sie am erstaunlichsten in der Geschichte der Wahrnehmung des Buches? Mehrere Leser haben mir erzählt, dass das Buch ihnen dabei geholfen hat, eine schwierige oder tragische Zeit zu überstehen, eine Krankheit, einen Trauerfall oder andere Sorgen. Das hätte ich mir nie vorstellen können, aber es macht mich sehr glücklich. Bastei Lübbe veröffentlicht eine Jubiläumsausgabe von „Die Säulen der Erde“ mit mehr als 100 Illustrationen von Markus Weber. Wie gefällt Ihnen die Idee, Ihr Buch zu illustrieren? Im Mittelalter waren alle Bücher illustriert. Bevor der Druck erfunden wurde, war jeder Großbuchstabe ein Miniaturbild. Bunte Blätter, Vögel, andere Tieren sowie dramatische Szenen aus der Bibel zierten die Seiten. Bilder von Heiligen und Engeln wechselten sich mit Abbildungen von seltsamen Monstern ab, Menschen mit Schwänzen, zweibeinige Pferde, Köpfe mit zwei Gesichtern und andere, die so seltsam sind, dass man sie unmöglich beschreiben kann. Manchmal bestätigen die Illustrationen in einem Buch die Welt, wie sie beim Lesen in unseren Köpfen entstanden ist: Gesichter, Häuser, Fahrzeuge, Straßen. Oft bieten sie jedoch ein ganz anderes Bild als das in unserer Imagination. Dann können wir wählen, welches Bild wir bevorzugen, das der Illustration oder das in unserem Kopf. Aber in den meisten Fällen bereichern Illustrationen das, was uns die Worte geben. Mir gefällt die neue illustrierte Ausgabe von „Die Säulen der Erde“ ausnehmend gut. In diesem Jahr haben Sie für Ihr Schaffen einige wohlverdiente hohe Auszeichnungen erhalten, Sie wurden „Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL)“, bekamen die Ehrendoktorwürde der University of Hertfordshire angetragen und wurden von Prinz Charles persönlich für Ihre Verdienste um die Literatur und Wohltätigkeit als „Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE)“ geehrt. Was bedeuten Ihnen diese Auszeichnungen? Ich war sehr erfreut und es hat mich mit Stolz erfüllt, dass ich diese Auszeichnungen für etwas erhalten habe, was ich so sehr liebe: Bücher und Geschichten so unterhaltsam und zugänglich wie möglich zu machen. Lesen ist ein immens wichtiger Bestandteil meines Lebens und ich bin sehr froh, wenn ich dazu beitragen kann, dass andere Menschen eine ebenso große Freude am Lesen empfinden wie ich. Ihre Fans weltweit sind neugierig: Werden wir bald weitere Bücher über Kingsbridge lesen dürfen? Ich habe gerade den ersten Entwurf eines neuen Romans fertig gestellt. Es ist eine Art Vorgeschichte zu „Die Säulen der Erde“, spielt hauptsächlich um die erste Jahrtausendwende herum in Kingsbridge, das damals allerdings noch keine Stadt war, noch nicht einmal ein Dorf, sondern eine Siedlung der Angelsachsen, die von Wikingern bedroht wird. Mehr wird allerdings im Moment noch nicht verraten!  (c) Bastei Lübbe Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

ALEXANDER HADENBERG IMAGINE - roommate AU!

a/n: requested by @okteivia-manawa, sorry it took so long! and also, sorry for making this one so long too, i really enjoyed writing this one, hope you like it <3

tv show: druck (skam germany)

words count: 2,139

Masterlist ❁

gif’s not mine!

"A dating app? Are you that desperate?" Alexander asked, appearing literally out of nowhere behind you. His voice made you jump, throwing your phone up just so it could fall on the ground with a huge bang.

"You better pray for any God you believe in, cause if my phone cracked up the screen, I am punching your face," you hissed at him, heart still beating like crazy inside your chest, your cheeks flushing due to the embarrassment,  "why are you home already? Didn't you have class the whole afternoon on Friday?"

"Cancelled," he said, falling on the other couch on your apartment, "so, a date? Looking for someone to take to Sam's party tonight? I thought you said you were not going."

"I am not going," you repeated yourself once again, for what looks like the eighth time this week. It is not you didn't want to go, but you were used to avoid any place that has both alcohol and your roommate, Alexandre Hadenberg, since the chances of you getting too drunk and spilling all the details on your crush for him are way too high for you own good.

When you moved to Berlin, you had to find somewhere to stay for a while. You had to admit, you never thought you would end up living with the school biggest fuckboy, but he needed someone to share rent with and you were hopeless at that point, thinking you would never find someone decent to live with. In the beginning, you thought he would hit on you 24/7. Instead, every day he had proven himself to be a gentleman and a really good friend - what you didn't predicted was the fact you were fall for that boy.

"Hmmm, since I won't be here, you will take the opportunity and bring someone home? That's..." he trailed off.

"Naughty?" you chuckled.

"Dangerous," he said, staring at the ceiling, "everybody knows the first date should be on a public space, you never know what kind of person you could find on internet."

His eyelids dropped as you got up and walked toward him. Once you were practically on top of him, you sat on his stomach, using his body as a huge cushion. He groaned but didn't make anything to move you, "you're right."

"Wow, that's a first," he rested his hand on your thigh. You could feel the heat burning your skin where he was touching.

"Can you imagine if I get someone like you on those apps? That would be terrible," you joked, trying to think about anything else but how badly you wanted to kiss him.

He rolled his eyes at you. The next thing you know, you changed your position, putting one leg at each side of him. You knew you were playing with fire, but you couldn't stop yourself. Instantly you felt your heart flutter and your stomach knot, the way he always made you feel every time you decided to be that close to each other. Some day were on his bed, talking about many random things, like aliens, trees and how plastic is ruining the oceans, on other days, you watched foreign movies on the couches while eating whatever he decided to cook that day.

This time, he put both hands on your knees, and you congratulated yourself for the hot weather and the shorts you decided to put on that morning, "let's go to the party, maybe I can help you get laid if you're so interested," he started to draw lines from your knee to the edge of the jeans fabric, all you could do was swallow hard, "or maybe... I can help you with that myself,"

You thanked God for his closed eyes, you don't think you would be able to hide the luxury from your face at that moment.

Doing the hardest thing you could do, you got up. "I was just messing around, you idiot, I am not that desperate," you defended yourself, "and to prove that to you, I will go to the party tonight and won't hook up with anyone," this statement made him open his eyes. Just like that, you had agreed to come along.

"Samuel will be heartbroken," his lips pursed in a close mouthed smile in your direction, "you know since you moved in with me, he is dying to, well... You know."

"I know, and I've already told you," you belted out, both of your arms outstretched in his direction, "I am not hooking up with my roommate's best friend," he smiled widely, "by the way, I need to pick something to wear," you said, suddenly changing the subject. There was not a single thing in this world that would collaborate for you and Samuel Fischer to be together, even if you weren't in love with his best friend.

"The party starts in 5 hours, y/n," Alex frowned.

"It means I don't have much time," you said, before kissing his forehead and heading to your room.

-

"I saw that!" Samuel blurted out, opening the door before you and Alex even knocked.

"What?" Alex asked, confused by his best friend reception

"You let her drive your car," he said, childishly, "why did you let her and not me? I am your best friend, dude," you rolled your eyes at his attitude, anxious to find someone more interesting to talk about then Samuel.

"Well, she is my roommate,"  Alex simply said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "the amount of hours she needs to bear me is higher than yours, I need to repay her somehow," you looked over him and you could feel a smirk forming on his lips.

"Hello to you too, Sam," you decided to divert your attention from Alex's lips.

"Hi princess," he said, changing his act to the fuckboy you were so used to, "I will pretend Alex didn't hurt my feelings but honestly?" he questioned, turning towards you. "I get him, I would let you drive everything you wanted from me, too."

"Gross," you said, passing directly through him and entering his house, while hearing Alex laugh on the back.

-

Three hours later of talking to people, drinking - not as much as you wanted to, because you were coming home with Alex - , dancing and watching your roommate talk to every single female soul on the place, you saw him and Samuel talking next to the bar and walked straight to them.

"I think this place will soon be lacking girls for you to hit on," you teased Alex, earning a grin from him.

"Maybe I should expand my options and start to hit on boys, too," he joked back, while pulling you closer and wrapping one arm on your waist.

"Dude, I would totally let you hit on me if you just let me drive your fucking car," Samuel told him, making both of us laugh. You could smell his expensive cologne he used before coming to the party, it was your favorite one by far. The scent added to the alcohol you've been drinking were doing wonder to your mind.

"Not happening, Samuel. Get over it," Alex said, his voice snapping you out of your deep thoughts.

"You know what? I feel eager to see the day where you will finally fall in love and turn your cold heart into a melted one," Samuel pointed at Alex, "Tell me, Alex, what is your type of girl? I will find you your soulmate," he told him, gesticulating the room around.

You both laughed to his question, but suddenly you realized it was the perfect opportunity for you to find out more about his taste on girls.

"Yeah, Alex, tell us," you complemented, escaping his grip and looking around.

He looked away embarrassed, and for a moment you thought he was going to ignore you both, but he locked his eyes on yours.

"She needs to be independent, and she can't be afraid to call me out when I do something wrong. Someone brave enough to fight for what she believes, and lazy enough to stay in bed with me all day, doing literally nothing. A chatty, annoying and sarcastic girl who is the most clever person I've met in my life, yet about some subjects, it's like she is totally oblivious," you noticed the way the phrases started to change. No more 'need to be'. He started talking about a real girl, and you felt your throat closing in jealousy. He has already found her. "Someone who has the most beautiful smile I've seen. She is just a good person in so many ways that always make me respect her that much more." he chuckled, looking at Samuel, "what do you think?"

"Wow, Alexander, who would've thought you are so romantic?" Sam teased him, "the way you said, it seems like you've already found her."

"Who knows?"

"Hmm, I will get something for me to drink, if you too don't mind," you informed them, feeling the defeat instantly creeping up on you as you forced yourself to let anything roll off your tongue. Knowing for sure Alex was in love with somebody else just put a bad taste in your mouth.

-

It took a few more hours so you two could finally leave. Doing your best to avoid Alex the rest of the party, you started talking to everyone who had a mouth, looking for a distraction - and a way to take Alexander off your mind. But as soon as you started talking to a cute boy named Jonas, Alex came and said he was going to call the night off. You didn't have another option than leave the poor boy and follow Alex to his car.

The whole trajectory you both stayed in a terrible silence,  not wanting to disturb the other on their thoughts. It seemed it took forever until you saw the little building you both lived on. When you open the door, you thought you were going directly to your room, to put on some pajamas and think how would you deal with your recent discover. But Alex had other plans.

"What, y/n?" he questioned as soon as he locked the door. You were standing next to the couch that same day you were intertwined on him. The memory made your heart ached, even more now that you knew those kind of moments never meant anything for him as it meant for you.

"What what, Alex?" You looked over at him, sensing the seriousness in the air of the apartment.

"You've been quiet since we left the party, didn't say a single word during the way home," "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, I am just tired," you exhale heavily.

"No, you are not," he looked skeptical at your sudden tactic to wrap this subject. His bright brown eyes narrowed in your direction, eyebrows playfully scrunching. His voice cracked when he spoke, "It is because of how I described my type of girl, right?"

"No!" It totally was, but you wouldn't let him know about it.

He shook his head, "it is not my fault if you are my kind of girl, y/n! I am sorry if I had to describe you," he snapped. It took you a few moments until you actually meant what he had just said.

"Wait, you did what?" your throat closed up at the sudden confession, you eyes widening as he stared intently into your eyes, slowly walking towards you.

"You didn't notice I was talking about you?" he replied, his brows knitted on confusion, then realization when he understood what he had just done.

"WHAT? NO!" you screamed, completely in shook.

"I thought you were mad at me because, you know, we are not supposed to happen and-" he yelled back.

"No, you idiot! I am mad because I thought you were describing someone else!" you cut him off. His couple steps felt like miles as he made his way towards your downcast figure. Once he approached you, you could lightly feel his breath hitting your nose.

"Remember I said how you are the most clever person I know but can be extremely oblivious sometimes? This is what I was talking about, y/n," he smiled lightly, he pulled you so your bodies were glued at each other's.

"I hate you, Alexander," you whispered, his lips centimeters away from yours.

"I am crazy about you, too," he muttered against your lips, his hands quickly yet gently grabbed your face and brought your lips up to his softly.  Your mind once again clouded with nothing but thoughts of Alexander. You kissed back, gently pressing your lips back against his, hands wrapping around his neck, to rest in that soft brown hair you yearned to tug on for months.
