#the split: barcelona

I just watched The Split: Barcelona.

There is a VERY hot middle-aged Spanish woman in it playing opposite my beloved, Nicola Walker.

They barely interact. They both have other love interests.

There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to ship it...

And yet...

My very reasoned argument for why you should is below the cut.

[lilgillybean]

Nicola Walker popping up in February the same slightly random person she's always been...in a new play 🧩

Look what I found, in the Christmas issue of Radio Times I brought back from the UK! I didn't even know that would be in there. I'd just always wanted to own a Christmas Radio Times. Lo and behold... an interview with Nicola Walker!

Watching The Split: Barcelona like

Anyway, I have THOUGHTS.

There is NO WAY Christie wouldn't have come back from NY for Hannah. He has been in love with her since he was a teenage, he never got over her, but we're meant to believe he was just like, "lol no your family is too much"?! I don't fucking think so.

Liv was annoying in the series and honestly, she's even more annoying in the special. I would have much rather have had it been say, Nina's wedding to someone she loved since she got a weak storyline that offered no character growth anyway.

How were Nathan and Hannah OK with Liv, who is like 20, getting married?! All the shit they've been through themselves and seen and it's just like, "Yeah, this is fine."

Speaking of Nathan: didn't we already resolve all this "I'm having a midlife crisis and I still love Hannah but I'm with Kate now" stuff at the end of s3? If Nathan was going to be there, a better storyline would be him and Hannah having to come together to try and convince Liv to call of the wedding.

I get that Tillie and Vinnie never really had any storyline or even dialogue in the series, but it was still a pretty weird move to just have them backpacking (?) and then Facetiming but we don't see them.

While I'm sure in 2024 vicars do have sex outside marriage, I find it pretty hard to believe the Church of England would be happy if a vicar got a woman who wasn't his wife pregnant. I mean, Glen seemed very nonchalant that Rose didn't want to get married and it was weird.

That whole Archie having a fake fiancee plot point was just plain weird, very Hallmark movie-esque and frankly, made no sense; why, exactly, would Alvaro want his secret mistress at his son's wedding under the guise of her being engaged to another man?

I know that a lot of the law stuff has always been very sketchy factually, but English solicitors just instantly knowing how to navigate the Spanish legal system was farcical.

I generally think Abi Morgan is a great writer - I loved s1 and s2 of TS, although s3 made me go hmm in a good few places - but the writing on this was not it. One of the only moments I really liked was the scene between Archie and Hannah at the end where she's talking about feeling insecure and sacred, despite me obviously not being for their relationship.

Anyway, I spent the whole thing thinking up a way I can make a fix-it fic where Christie comes back into Hannah's life with a good reason why he didn't come back and I might have the germ of an idea... (Also, definitely still gonna finish my canon continuation incase anyone might be wondering.)

If Ivan does end up joining Hajduk and Luka decides to end his career in Dinamo, we would have another el clasico to look forward to.

Seems like they love playing for rival teams <3

"This deal is so good, I even convinced my grandma to come with me! We're going to have the time of our lives exploring these incredible cities together." – Emily, Madrid

So, what are you waiting for? Book your tickets now and:

Wander the cobbled streets of Montmartre.

Gaze in awe at the Sagrada Familia's stained-glass kaleidoscope.

Get lost in the artistic haven of Picasso Museum.

Savor the smoky goodness of jamón ibérico at a local tapas bar.

Dance the night away to the infectious rhythms of flamenco.

This is your chance to create memories that will last a lifetime, all for a price that's practically unbelievable. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – book your €29 Paris-Barcelona tickets today!

Barcelona Femení x Child!Reader

Summary: You go for a visit to see the Barcelona team

Ingrid ignores the odd looks she gets as she and Mapi step into the locker room.

She walks straight up to Caro, a smug grin on her face.

"I've got The Baby!" She says gleefully, rocking her body side to side as you giggle.

"Mapi," Patri whispers," That's not a baby. Your girlfriend knows that, right?"

"That's y/n," Mapi says in answer, hanging up her bag," She's Frida and her girlfriend's daughter. Ingrid's her auntie."

"Maanum, right? That Frida? What's she doing in Barcelona?"

"They're having a little visit before they go to Tenerife. Ingrid volunteered us for a sleepover last night."

Patri winces. "Was it bad?"

"She's delightful actually," Mapi answers," Ate all her dinner without complaints and had a cup of warm milk before bed. Most well behaved kid I've ever met."

"Caro!" You say happily," Caro! Caro! Caro!"

Caro smiles a bit awkwardly at all the attention, at the way you're trying to fling yourself out of Ingrid's grip and into Caro's arms.

"Hey, squish," She says," You're looking good."

"Caro!" You continue," Caro, cuddles, please!"

Caro takes you from a slightly put-out Ingrid's arms, bouncing you stiffly for a moment as you try to attach yourself to her.

It looks like Marta is trying to force herself not to coo at the sweet scene as you babble at Caro, rushing through everything that's happened in your life since you last saw her.

"This is so unfair," Ingrid complains as she sits down in her cubby, arms crossed over her chest as she watches longingly while you show off your new Barcelona shirt to Caro and Marta," I'm the one that she had the sleepover with. I can't believe she's gone to Caro...Again!"

"Again?" Pina snickers.

"Caro's her favourite at camp too," Ingrid continues," I don't understand how! I'm the one that always buys her new toys! I spoil her!"

"You're jealous of Caro because she's getting more attention from a child?"

"You don't understand, Jana," Ingrid says dismissively," Squish...Y/n...She's...She's such a little sweetheart and she's so nice and she has so much love to give."

"Mama says Caro has a soft spot for Maanums," You're telling Marta as you happily soak up the attention," And that if I'm scared at camp and can't find her or auntie Ingrid, I have to go to Caro because she's responsible and won't let anything happen to me."

Caro's face glows red at the statement and she tries not to meet the teasing eyes of her girlfriend.

"And you really like Caro a lot, huh?"

"Uh-huh! Caro is the best at cutting up my food small!"

"Really? What else is she good at?"

"She makes sure I'm wearing my hat when it's snowing at camp! And! And last camp, she took me to the vending machine to get cookies! But you can't tell my Mama because I wasn't meant to have any."

Marta laughs. "I won't." She grins at Caro, bumping her girlfriend with her hip. "I didn't know you were so good with kids."

"I'm not," Caro says stiffly," Just The Baby. She's cool."

"I think you're cool too, Caro!" You giggle.

Ingrid doesn't end up with custody of you again until after lunch when Caro goes off on a phone call and Ingrid can snatch you up again without anyone getting in the way.

You giggle as she litters kisses on your cheeks.

"There's my squish again!" Ingrid laughs," You came back to me!"

"Ingrid," You giggle, feet kicking out instinctively," I always come back!"

"Oh! I missed you so much!" She pulls you into a hug that you reciprocate quickly.

After Frida and Emma, you think Ingrid gives the best hugs. Even better hugs than Emma's dog Jordan and he's one of your favourite huggers in the world.

"And who's this little girl?"

"Alexia, this is my niece, y/n. Squish, this is Alexia, she's the captain of Barcelona."

You frown. "Like how Kim's the Arsenal captain?"

"Exactly like that."

You grin, face splitting open as you show off your dimples. "Hi, Spanish Kim! Oh...er...Ingrid...what was her name again?"

"Alexia."

"Hi, Alexia! It's nice to meet you."

Alexia can't help but smile as you hold your little hand out for her to shake.

"It's nice to meet you too, y/n. I didn't know Ingrid had a niece."

"She and my Mama are friends!" You explain," But we don't see each other a lot because I live in Sweden."

Alexia pulls up a chair, settling into it and leaning a bit closer so she can hear your properly.

"Really?"

"Yeah with Mummy and our dog Jordan. But then Mama brings me to Norway when I'm on camp so I can see Ingrid and Caro! They say I'm the team baby!"

Alexia laughs. "That sounds about right, you're still very little."

"I start school soon," You tell her, puffing out your chest," And Mapi told me last night that I'm a growing girl!"

Alexia nods along. "Of course you are! And you know what growing girls get in Barcelona?"

"No?" Your eyes go wide. "What do they get?"

"They get to choose things out of the vending machine!" Alexia tells you seriously as she offers her hand," Do you want to pick some stuff out with me?"

Ingrid sighs deeply as Mapi snickers. "Next time we get her for a sleepover, we're not coming into training the next day."
