Deep in my Jude Law obsession right now and also relistening to Winnetou audiobooks and I feel like he would make a great Old Shatterhand.

Maybe not now but in 2010 he would be perfect. I think his portrayal of John Watson in films with Robert Downey Jr. gives the same vibe. Not really sure who would be a great Winnetou.

Also, not many fanfics out there I know the books are gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide, however, I would appreciate any and all recommendations in English, Czech or Slovak.

AU were Winnetou and OS switch souls and wake up on each other's bodies for an entire week.

I wonder how Karl May decided that Winnetou was going to be a Mescalero Apache specifically. Did he throw a dart on his map? Thoughts?

Just. The fact that I need to make the original novels less gay in order to write gay fanfic.

Brought to you by me wanting them to pine while being separated in the books and not, as in canon, kiss. This is now a kiss on the cheek. They will pine.

Even after many years I still absolutely love how Old Shatterhand and Winnetou resemble Yin-Yang. They are so different and yet so perfect together! <3 <3 - Dark, straight shiny bluish-black hair vs ruffled, short, blonde ones. - Velvety almost black eyes vs sparkling blue - A son of a prominent chief vs a man who grew up in a very poor environment - Native American vs white German - Man with no family left vs man with many siblings and both parents still alive - Man of faith in Manitou vs Christian - One who speaks only when necessary vs one whose job is bound with words Despite all the differences they deeply love each other to the moon and back, they share values like friendship, honor, truth, and kindness, they both are brave and courageous, but at the same time empathetic, open-minded, caring, strong yet sometimes fragile... I love their dynamics absolutely, the way they were able to even get over the fact Winnetou attempted to kill Old Shatterhand only to be the first one after the fight to take care of the nearly fatal wound caused by his own hand. There are tons of wonderful moments between them in the books. I really think when they have to part for some time, be it when OS leaves for other travels, or they are separated by circumstances, it nearly physically hurts them, because they are meant to be "one warrior in two bodies". Alright, end of my rant about OSW, because I would be able to write 10 pages in half an hour about how perfect they are :-D :-D :-D

I wrote a new story:

This one is more on the fluffy side, to make up for last time XD. I tried and failed to make it pornographic 🤷. Oh well...

Question for the Karl May fans around:

Has anyone read "The Sable Hunter"? It's a rework of the "German Hearts" cycle. (The Dervish, Death Valley and The Sable Hunter). Sam Hawkens, Dick Stone and Will Parker are playing the role Old Shatterhand usually does. Charlie doesn't show up until the epilogue, where the three visit him at home, in Germany.

I was wondering if that scene shows up in other translations. I only found it a few years ago. The volume hadn't been translated in our language before then.

I'm not very fond of the trilogy, but it's hilarious how *everybody* shows up (including Winnetou and David Lindsay), except Old Shatterhand. Sam and Lindsay even ask each other if the other had received any news from him. Winnetou is all distant and mysterious. And then that scene at the end, it's hilarious. 😂😂😂

I know there are a lot of differences between editions and translations with Karl May, and I was curious about this one.

I nearly melted into a puddle of water when seeing this picture!<3<3<3 OMG, OMG, the way how Charley holds Winnetou's shoulder, the look in his eyes, the radiant blue-black color of W's hair, their closeness and the sharp but at the same time somewhat vulnerable look on Charley's eyes...Awwwwww!!!!
