there's literally no other reason for it to be oversized like that 🖤❤️
I mean look at them. in my mind, those tshirts are from one of those multipacks where you get like, the same basic tshirt in a couple of different colours. which is something I can imagine young till buying just because it's cheap and practical. and young richard keeps stealing them from him whenever he gets tired of running around shirtless
🥺-Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in you feels?
*Having them tell each other how much they love each other and valuing their relationships.
⛔️-Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?
*I don't think I've ever officially scrapped anything, but I've taken bits and pieces from some different things and combined them into new stuff that may or may not ever see the light of day.
🤩-Who is your favorite character to write?
*Hmm...I don't know if I have a favorite, but I have different reasons for why I like writing each of them. Paul I think is the most fun to write though. Especially when interacting with Flake.
Tumblr is dead! I feel like leaving for good! Do you know any good alternative? Or some blogs to follow here? Maybe I'm missing some...
It's true that at the moment Tumblr has become a bit empty, and the ratings and visibility (if that's what you're interested in) are catastrophic. And I also understand that what's going on with the band at the moment may have chilled a lot of people and driven them away from the fandom. Personally, I still like Tumblr, I feel good there and I've only met good people.
I don't have too many alternatives to recommend, apart from the networks you probably already know (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok)...
For the blogs I have to recommend here on Tumblr, there are :

So this is it - the final post of my Oliver Riedel 31 Days Idol Challenge. My top pick is this shot by Iver68 from the 2022 Europe Stadium Tour, where Oliver Riedel and Paul Landers are sharing a moment on the B-stage. One of the absolute highlights of the tour was how much fun the band seemed to have on stage, and this photo definitely captures that.
Bonus screenshots:
1) Oliver smiling in the Du hast music video.
2) Oliver smiling when captured by the police in the Ich will music video.
3) Oliver and Paul smiling when Till Lindemann's blue underpants show on the screen. From the Making of Rosenrot.
4) Oliver smiling at the footage of Till being beaten up. From the Making of Rosenrot.
5) Oliver smiling in the In Amerika documentary.
6) Oliver smiling in the Mein Land music video.
7) And finally - Oliver smiling after playing classical guitar in the shower - absolutely adorable.
And that's it, folks. Thank you for checking out my Oliver Riedel challenge. Until next time!

Probably the hardest because if you're looking for a man who knows how to dress, Till is the one! All of his outfits are my fav so it's impossible to choose! Prepare for a long post (leaving out the majority or it'll be endless!)
Current obsessions: getting Skyrim to work on my computer after the new unnecessary update. Thank you Bethesda 😡
Tagging @themarten @frostlikeashes @wilhelm--fink @schnoodlestein and anyone else who wants to do it. Seriously I am cool if you do this and say i tagged you 🖤
Day twenty-nine reading. I already posted a lot of photos with Paul reading something, but there are still some amazing moments I will gladly post now.
Did I already mention how much I love Mark for filming or taking photos of Paul and Arielle? Thanks to him we can see the same amazing moments with them. Like this one. Paul reading some wisdom from the fortune cookie 😆 One day you gonna make onions cry. I would be puzzled the same way they are. And we can hear Arielle speaking 🥰
Original video here
Paul in the documentary film about his friends' band DEKAdance. Paul and Flake were playing a part of the commission which was giving the license to the band. In East Germany, every band had to have this license to be able to play shows.
Whole video here
Paul reading the newspaper. It looks like this is very popular activity for our boys while flying to a new destination. There are so many photos of them in the airplane with newspapers in their hands.
Quick - rank cozzie livs, platty joobs and statey funes best to least best. Because they're all excellent lbr.
#1 cozzie livs - the hunnification of dystopia at it's finest, barely makes sense, perfectly encapsulates the absolute farce that is life on This Cursèd Isle
#2 statey funes - nearly put it last bc it has the worst flow but it's just such an inherently funny way to refer to the literal queen's funeral, the antithesis to the Respectful greyscale branding of all the corporate social media accounts
#3 platty joobs - the OG, sounds comical, fun to say, last but by no means least
Honourable mention: corriebobs. Absolute dogshit, I love it.
Last song: "The Battle of the Hornburg" from the Two Towers soundtrack. I was planning to watch the trilogy next week for the twentieth anniversary of ROTK's release, but after filling my ears with Howard Shore today, I don't know if I can wait that long...
Fave colours: Blues! All blues, but especially dark blues. And greys.
Last movie: Sis insisted we watch the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Have to say, it was actually pretty fun. :)
Last TV series: We're about halfway through a rewatch of the 2005 Bleak House series, so that.
Sweet, spicy or savoury: Oh God, I love them all. But my sweet tooth wins, rip.
Relationship status: As before, terminally single.
Last thing googled: The etymology of "buffoon". XD
Current obsessions: Dark Lords and unhinged elves, literary Jacobites and their attached Whigs, Roman Britain's northern frontier and its people. :D
Tagging, with no pressure: @technicallycleverdetective, @themalhambird, @chaotic-historian, @vicivefallen, @pathfinderswiftpen, @chiropteracupola, @thebeautifulsoup, @kitthefox.
I chose today's pick because it's so casual, plus I'm quite fascinated by how Oliver's head almost hits the roof of the cars he is sitting in. The photo was posted by artiramm on Instagram.
Bonus material:
1) From the Deutschland music video. GIF by me.
2) We don't see a lot of the car, but Oliver preparing for wrecking havoc in Adieu is definitely a memorable moment. GIF by me.
3) Screenshot of the young and (not so) innocent Oliver, exiting the prison transport in the Ich will music video.
4) Oliver sitting in the (not real) fire truck in the Benzin music video. Photo by Frank Lothar Lange.

This is VERY hard one! All his characters are worthy of mention, he looks very different in almost every video, and it was super difficult to just choose a few but here we go.
#1
I will probably say my favorite one of the ones i brought today is his character in Ich Will. Not by a very big advantage to the rest, but I love how he looks with a Mohawk and a damaged eye, AND how he brings to life that character. To me that man is a very unstable person, dangerous one moment, calm and calculated the next. We see him angrily hitting people as he walks into the bank, we see him laughing at the law as hes being arrested, and we see him satisfied and composed in front of the press even though Flake most likely blew to pieces at the end. This one takes number one because of how he portrayed it. Beautiful performance.
#2
Immediately after, our smaller friend in Sonne. I am not sure if they were asigned a certain dwarf each, dont remember if I have seen it anywhere, but if I had to assign it, Schneider was Grumpy the dwarf until Schneewittchen arrived and beat the angry out of him. Hes was the one who came into the house first and noticed something was off right away when she arrived, and he immediately came forward to see her, looking heartbroken, when she overdosed. And he continues to look as such throughout the rest of the video. Grumpy takes 2nd place
#3
Third and last I will go into detail about is werewolf Schneider. Best nose in the pack, can spot his prey from very far away. He is probably the tracker in their group and wont give up until he found what hes tracking. He also looks like a gentleman, but it might be what he wants you to think. I love this character.
Here are some others I love.
The man in Du Hast
The tea drinking foreigner in Ausländer
And... well, i dont need to say much about Adieu. All of it is amazing.
Worth mentioning i think are also his roles in Ohne Dich, and Haifisch, but of course I love all others too, Schneider is a chameleon when it comes to MVs. Hes an amazing actor, which is why this one in particular was so hard. I once again didnt touch Deutschland because he portrays so many characters in it. All of them are worth mentioning here but I cant have more than 10 images.
Also,
I didnt have Frau Schneider in the top three because I wanted to rate them without her since we all know she is probably everyone's favorite. But she will be down here.
Accompanied by CEO.
Or maybe putting those two together is not a great idea, but we will see how they hey along 😉 MHB Schneider is not so sure either.
