#mlm hab series

[unscharf-an-den-raendern]

Boah okay, dann muss ich jetzt einfach mal loswerden, was ich schon die ganze Zeit loswerden wollte: (geht um Schloss Einstein)

Es nervt mich sehr, dass sie das Pacing der Beziehungsentwicklung zwischen Noah und Colin in der letzten Staffel so versaut haben.

Sie hatten ohnehin weniger Zeit, da die Staffel kürzer war als gewohnt, aber dann auch noch das Kennenlernen der beiden so ewig in die Länge zu ziehen nur um dann festzustellen, dass sie ja zum Ende hin plötzlich keine Zeit mehr hatten, und dann unbedingt noch einen (in meinen Augen völlig unnötigen) Drama/Plottwist Akt hinzugefügt haben, nervt mich unheimlich.

Mit dem haben sie sich keinen Gefallen getan, sondern die ganze Sache einfach verkompliziert.

Man hätte so schön auf die Gefühle der beiden aufbauen können und Noah hätte sich auch auf andere Art und Weise zurückziehen können, Colin einfach sagen können, dass er noch nicht bereit ist und dann in Staffel 27 realisieren, dass es doch ernst für ihn ist und die beiden hätten zusammenkommen können.

Aber nein, er lehnt ja seine Gefühle komplett ab. Wie genau stellen die sich bitte vor, wie das in Staffel 27 laufen soll?

Noah realisiert urplötzlich doch seine Gefühle für Colin, wirft seinen Charakter und seine Einstellung völlig über den Haufen und geht Colin seine Gefühle gestehen?

Ja super, mega Ende.

Einfach nur enttäuschend, dass mal wieder ein mlm pairing im öffentlich rechtlichen Fernsehen so in den Sand gesetzt wurde.

Und dann ist es auch noch das erste mlm Pairing von Schloss Einstein. Klasse.

Sorry für so viel Negativität aber das musste ich mal niederschreiben.

Gott, ja, schlechtes Pacing kann so viele gute Dinge ruinieren.

Nehmen wir z.B. Steins;Gate. Gilt als einer der besten Animes aller Zeiten, aber alle sind sich einig, dass er erst nach Folge 12 gut wird. Und da ist die Hälfte der Serie schon vorbei. Deswegen hab ich auch nur die erste Folge gesehen, denn ich hab einfach keinen Bock, mir 12 langweilige 22-minütige Folgen anzusehen. Das sind fast viereinhalb Stunden, die ich nie zurückbekommen werde.

Edit, weil es mir gerade eingefallen ist: Oder nehmen wir Ross und Rachel aus Friends. Damals das absolute Traumpaar der Serie, aber jetzt bevorzugen die meisten Monica und Chandler. Und wieso? Weil Ross und Rachel die ganzen 10 Staffeln über eine dramatische On-Off-Beziehung führen, während Monica und Chandler in nur sechs Staffeln zusammenkommen, heiraten und Zwillinge adoptieren.

how Lukas Reichel is like as a boyfriend (mlm)

- Lukas is a really chill boyfriend

- like he cares about you but he’s not gonna make a big deal about his feelings

- for him it’s more about the time you spend together and not about grand romantic gestures

- that’s just what he’s like as a person and as a boyfriend

- he doesn’t want you to feel like he doesn’t love you just because he’s not screaming it from the rooftops

- but he’s open to coming out of his comfort zone for a bit if it would make you happy

- doesn’t really like to talk about feelings 

- like you’re feeling things, he’s feeling things...

- that’s great

- but that’s about it

- if you need a lot of communication in a relationship you might have to force him a bit

- just trust him that if there are any big issues he can’t work out himself he’ll come and talk to you

- Lukas is still there for you to talk to him if you need to

- just not good at innitiating conversations himself

- he has other ways of showing his love though

- gets you matching boyfriend necklaces

- or like... hockey chains?

- he probably already has one

- but once you’re getting serious he goes and buys you one too as a gift

- thinks it’s cute that you’re matching

- he wouldn’t go full out matching his & his clothes though

- but he’s more than ready to share his hoodies and shirts

- would steal one of your shirts to sleep in

- because it’s soft and smells like you

- you will just come over to spend the night and ask if you can borrow something comfy to sleep in 

- and he’ll say go for it

- so you open his closet and what do you find?

- his secret boyfriend shirt stash

- you can decide if you want to tell him you found his stolen collection or if you just want to wear them and put them back later when they smell like you again

- Lukas can get a bit cuddly when he’s sleepy

- likes to just lay his body across your legs and lay his head on your lap and have you run your fingers through his hair

- maybe talk about your day

- he just likes hearing your voice

- it calms him down

- Lukas is not a big planner

- he’s just really spontaneous

- not in the hey lets book a one way flight to spain and just figure things out when we get there way

- but in the hey i don’t feel like going home can i just stay here for like a week or two way

- he gets invited a lot of places

- has many friends so it’s no surprise

- whenever he can he definitely brings you along

- and whenever you’re at a party that’s boring you can just leave and do your own thing

- maybe drive to a nice lookout

- watch the stars

- make up stories and star signs 

- point them out to each other and share your ideas and hold hands until the sun comes up

- he can get real romantic

- but only in private

- he doesn’t hide the fact that he loves you but he’s not a fan of pda

- maybe hold your hand or call you his boyfriend but he won’t full on make out with you with other people around

- definitely has a giant soft spot for you though

Bruh, okay..

Hab heute KLEO fertig geschaut und obwohl ich mit der Erwartung eingestiegen bin, dass es sowieso keinen wlw content geben wird, war ich dann doch etwas angepisst.

Weils ja nur eine one-off Szene war ohne jeglichen Inhaltsbezug auf den eigentlichen Plot, werd ichs jetzt einmal als nicht so tragisch abschreiben. Der Fakt, dass die eine Lokalbesitzerin aber nicht mal einen Namen oder irgendeinen Satz hatte, es dann nur einen recht unnötigen Kuss gab und sie unmittelbar danach erschossen wurde ganz zu schweigen davon, dass sie eine Antagonistin in dem Moment war, warf mich grundsätzlich in die Zeit zurück als "bury your gays" ein sehr häufiger trope war.

Europäische Produktionen sind ja ansich immer etwas... expliziter. Schrecken nicht vor sexueller Offenheit zurück. Also wundert es mich, dass wir immer noch viel weiter hinten sind als die armies was Representation angeht.

Das diese Szene nur eine Kleinigkeit in KLEO ist, ist mir bewusst und darum geht es auch nicht. Die serie fand ich wirklich ganz gut. Es hat mich eben nur an genau dieses Phänomen erinnert.

Dass besonders deutsche und österreichische Medien selten LGBTQ Charaktere zeigen und wenn, dann häufig nur in einem Stereotypen Bild, oder sehr ausgewählt (sprich: oft nur mlm), steht nicht einmal zur Diskussion. Vielleicht bewege ich mich in den falschen Kreisen, aber bis jetzt kam mir niemand über den Weg, dem das aufgefallen wäre.

Das sind dann aber oft Leute, die stundenlang über amerikanische Produktionen reden und wie homophob es ist, dass dieses und jenes ship nicht canon wurde.

Alles ist selbstverständlich meine eigene Beobachtung. Und ich beziehe mich zum Großteil auf österreichische Serien und Filme.

Ich denke nur, dass, wenn wir schon einen Dreck drauf geben was andere über unsere Sex Szenen sagen, sollten wir auch einen Dreck drauf geben, was andere über LGBTQ Charaktere in Serien denken und auf derartige, unnötige clichés verzichten.

Und was Netflix betrifft...

das ist sowieso schon auf dünnem Eis.

[unscharf-an-den-raendern]

Ok jetzt hast du mich so weit.

Was zum Teufel geht bei den Einstein-Jungs ab? Ich hab die Sendung ehrlich gesagt schon als ich kleiner war nicht geschaut aber ich folg dir seit Monaten und irgendwie bin ich jetzt investiert. Gibt es neue Entwicklungen? Was ist der letzte Stand?

Noah und Colin sind die erste mlm Hauptcharaktere in der Serie (der neue Direktor ist zwar auch mit einem Mann verheiratet, sein Ehemann wurde aber bisher nur erwähnt). Da es drei Staffeln zuvor schon mal eine süße Liebesgeschichte zwischen zwei Mädchen gab, hatten wir eigentlich Hoffnungen.

Uns es lief auch recht gut - bis Folge 1049.

Colin und Noah werden Zimmernachbarn. Noah ist anfangs sehr distanziert und vertraut nur seinem Hund Freddy, den er heimlich im Wald versteckt hat, da seine Eltern ihn ins Tierheim geben wollten. Erst als Colin Noahs Geheimnis herausfindet und ihm anbietet, ihm zu helfen, beginnt Noah langsam, sich ihm gegenüber zu öffnen. Obwohl deutlich wird, dass er auch etwas für Colin empfindet, lässt er Colin nie zu nah an sich ran und macht immer wieder Rückzieher.

Die Situation eskaliert, als Colin Noah küsst. Noah rennt daraufhin weg und sagt ihm später, er wäre nicht in ihn verliebt. Auf einer Party in der letzten Folge der Staffel gesteht Colin Noah dann erneut seine Gefühle, geht jedoch weg, ohne Noahs Antwort abzuwarten. Noah folgt ihm nicht.

Ob sie nächste Staffel ihr Happy End kriegen, wissen wir noch nicht. Allerdings wird Colins Darsteller spätestens in der Mitte der Staffel aussteigen, da er ab Juli für einen Kinofilm vor der Kamera stand. Selbst wenn sie ihr Happy End bekommen sollten, werden sie also nicht viel Screentime als glückliches Paar haben.

[unscharf-an-den-raendern]

tatsächlich - ich hatte die videos bewusst nur mit #schlosseinstein getaggt und sonst nichts (wie #mlm etc.). irgendwann hat der algorithmus aber wohl gecheckt dass es sich bei den videos um ein mlm couple handelt, und dementsprechend waren meine likes und v.a. follower auf einmal voll mit personen, deren for you pages anscheinend mit solchem content gefüllt sind, d.h.: erwachsene (30-50 jährige) männer aus der ganzen welt. manche von denen sind sogar in meine dms geslidet (wahrscheinlich in der hoffnung, dass sich hinter meinem profil ein minderjähriger twink befindet und keine 23 jährige lesbe). das war so unfassbar weird und creepy und ganz ganz unangenehm und hat mich in meinem glauben an das internet ehrlich gesagt erschüttert lmao, deswegen hab ich die videos sofort gelöscht. die waren für schloss einstein fans gedacht und nicht für erwachsene männer, die gefallen an einem video über zwei teenager in einer kinderserie finden. vielleicht bin ich einfach nur zu sensibel und hab die dunklen seiten des internets (bzw. tiktoks) bisher nicht kennengelernt, aber ich hoffe, dass die personen, die immer mehr edits von den beiden machen, sich bewusst sind, dass sie damit diese serie einer gruppe von menschen eröffnen, die definitiv nicht die zielgruppe dafür ist

Yikes, ein weiterer Grund, warum ich mich nie auf TikTok anmelden werde (und hoffe, dass nie ein Anmeldezwang für die Desktop-Version kommt).

[unscharf-an-den-raendern]

feelings ist so gut btw!! es gibt zwar bisher nur 4 folgen aber das ist echt richtig richtig gut gemacht. queer kids auf dem dorf, familiengeheimnisse, übernatürliches, mobbing, mentale gesundheit/psychische erkrankungen. und das alles mit canon wlw im zentrum. schloss einstein could never apparently lmao (kann man natürlich nicht vergleichen, aber in meinen träumen haben noah und colin genau so ihre eigene serie wo es nur um sie geht und wo wir ein canon mlm ende bekommen. a girl can dream)

Ich hab heute die erste Folge gesehen, find ich bisher ganz gut. Und außerdem: Goth Girl Love Interest, das nicht das "Big Tiddy Goth Girlfriend" Trope ist sondern tatsächlich Darkwave und The Cure erwähnt? New Wave im Soundtrack? Socially Awkward Main Character, der es schwer in der Schule hat aber vom Goth Girl akzeptiert wird? Netflix Dark Vibes? Ich fühle mich gesehen.

[ilredeiladri]

Ich bin auch ehrlich gesagt immer noch nicht so ganz happy damit, wie die Geschichte (v.a. letzte Staffel) geschrieben war. Ich fand es (aus Storrytelling-Perspektive) nämlich erstmal ziemlich okay, dass Noah Colin gegenüber klar kommuniziert hat, dass er keine Gefühle für ihn hat. Auch das gehört zum Verliebt sein leider manchmal dazu und ich hab's ziemlich gefeiert, dass die beiden da normal drüber geredet haben (und Noah sogar gefragt hat, ob das für Colin okay ist 🥹). Das fand ich einen richtig schönen und einfühlsamen Umgang mit einer unerwiderten Liebe (auch wenn die Situation für Colin sicher alles andere als schön war).

Aber dass Colin dann in der letzten Folge nochmal drauf zurückkommt, obwohl Noah ihm schon gesagt hatte, dass das nix wird... ich weiß nicht. Ab dem Punkt hab ich sehr gehofft, dass Colin irgendwie weiß/spürt (??? kp wie sowas funktioniert tbh^^), dass Noah doch auch in ihn verliebt ist, das aber nicht zugeben kann. Ansonsten wär er einfach unnötig penetrant gewesen, er kann Noah ja nicht zwingen ihn zu lieben, indem er ihm immer wieder von seinen Gefühle erzählt. Und dass es "Noah ganz ähnlich geht" war ja irgendwie der einzige Hinweis in die Richtung (vllt hat Colin die Folgenbeschreibung gelesen? 🤔). Aber da hätte ich mir als Zuschauerin einfach mehr Einblicke in Noahs Gefühlswelt gewünscht (das erst eine Staffel später aufzugreifen ist mir bei der erste mlm Story dieser Serie einfach zu wenig).

Und vor dieser Finalfolge hatte ich immer die leise Hoffnung, dass Noah aspec ist und deshalb nicht mit Colins Liebesgeständnis umgehen kann (ehrlich gesagt bin ich immer noch bisschen traurig, dass das nicht der Grund war, weil die ganze "du machst alles kaputt mit deinem Gefühlsscheiß"-Unterhaltung? - ich fühls sehr). Das Thema hätte man mit den beiden auch so gut aufgreifen können. Noahs Verzweiflung, weil Colin Freundschaft nicht "reicht" und er Angst hat, ihn deshalb zu verlieren, aber seine romantischen Gefühle auch nicht erwidern kann? Hell yes, give me all the drama. Aber ehrlich gesagt hab ich das SE auch nicht ernsthaft zugetraut (leider).

Glaub das mit den queerbaiting Vorwürfen ist damals aus Frust heraus entstanden, weil die Serie sich wirklich 21 Folgen etwa Zeit genommen hat um die Beziehung zwischen den beiden aufzubauen (ich weiß noch wie gehypt ich damals war) und dann ist ja bis heute nichts draus geworden.

In dieser Staffel wurde wenigstens ein bisschen aufgeklärt wieso Noah so gehandelt hat auch wenn seitdem nicht weiter drauf eingegangen wird.

Und dann noch die Tatsache, dass die Folgenbeschreibungen uns dreist angelogen haben: "Noah geht es ganz ähnlich. Ist zwischen ihnen doch mehr als nur Freundschaft?"

WO GING ES NOAH GANZ ÄHNLICH? DER HAT IN DER FOLGE EIN MAL AUF DIESE KINOKARTEN GEGUCKT UND DANN COLIN GEFRIENDZONED!

how Matthew Tkachuk is like as a boyfriend (mlm)

- Matt just wants to be a good boyfriend

- and seeing you being all cute and sleepy helps him get some energy for the day

- and trust me we can get so sappy and cheesy af

- but it’s also confusing because the word Freund can mean boyfriend but also boy friend

- like keychains or something like that

- bad at talking about feelings

- he’s very good and cuddling tho

- like those arms?

- 10/10 would want to be held by him while watching romcoms on the couch

- Leon wouldn’t go to the stores all that often because he probably gets meals delivered or online shops but when he does he picks up some snacks and flowers for you

- he’s the little spoon

- just a lil bit of warmth and protection

- generally lots of hugs and contact

- sometimes he just needs to be held by his big strong boyfriend

- or you can be held by your big strong boyfriend

- or make out a little bit

- because why not

- sometimes he has some problems sleeping so you just lay there and talk

- maybe get up and get a little not nutritionist approved late night snack 

- but no eating in the bed because crumbs

- he’d be a lilbit uncomfortable with his status

- when people on the street ask him for a pic he doesn’t say no but he doesn’t want the power imbalance to impact your relationship

- he’s just Connor 

- a lot of his time is spent training 

- you can either join him or just watch your hot boyfriend work out

- he wants to be a good captain and take care of the guys but he’s still young so he can’t really be a father figure yet

- so he’ll be the best brother figure and you’ll have to help

- because dating the captain comes with the entire team 

- so sometimes you have a teammate sleeping on the couch or cook for five grown men

- but the team love you so it’s okay

- just wait until he adopts a rookie

- Connor is really good about chores though

- he always gets them done quickly

- not because he wants to but because bla bla discipline

- which means you could be snuggled in a blanket burito that smells like Connor and he could wake you up by vacuuming at dawn

- he actualy has really nice date ideas and tries to switch things up and try new things

- good gift giver

- and he’s not just using his McMoney to buy things

- he actually puts a lot of thought into it and writes you cute little notes and crafts you stuff
