#a serious one..

[notafraidofredyellowandblue]

Hi:)

I recently found a blog on Instagram. It is run by a lady who seems to have quite a bit of information. She claims that Paul and Richard are a couple. I get the feeling she is literally obsessed with the idea. She knows in part exactly when one of them logged into Instagram and also their locations. She's like obsessed. The way she talks about the two guitarists is pretty weird. She acts like she knows their personalities and their families' personalities. And she sometimes talks very bad about family members. I think something like that is clearly going too far, don't you think? How do you feel about this woman? I think it's scary and I can understand why many celebrities don't want to reveal anything about their private lives anymore.

Ow, a serious ask in between the fluff...🌺

Well i do know a couple of accounts that have blurred the line between fiction and fact. I'm a big fan of fictional shipping (as you know), but that's what it is: fiction. And in case of Rammstein, we know that Richard doesn't mind fanfiction in a 'Art inspires art' kind of way, as long as you don't involve his family, as he mentioned in an interview where he was told what Slash Fiction means (which he didn't know) (or so he said 😊

Indeed in 2019 some fans went as far as tagging Paul and Richard's real accounts and/or leaving comments on their family's accounts, which is all a big no! I don't think it's as bad as that anymore, but to be honest i don't read all the comments (and i hope the guys don't either, apart from this specific type of comments, i also don't like the name calling, weight- or age shaming etc etc)

But as long as those boundaries are clear, i enjoy the fanaccounts who dabble in fanart, fanfic or photo/video cuteness a lot 🌺 And especially since Richard sometimes shares fanart and collaborates, my feeling is that he doesn't mind it either.

The photographing of their home, street, frontdoor, doorbell, sharing the street where they live or whatever is a big no for me. In Richard's case i was always a bit surprised that some of his family/girlfriends were pretty liberal in sharing stuff, i don't think i would have liked that if it were my place, but i could imagine they had some sort of understanding about what to share and what not.

(sidenote: I used to be on a datingsite, got a like from a guy, exchanged one message, and by the second message he already found out where i worked, who my colleagues were and where tthey would go for lunch... 😳 thought that was creepy.. glad i'm not a celeb 😊 )

That said, i have to admit when we haven't seen the guys for a long time, and a photo pops up, then i'm sometimes so excited to see a 'sign of life', that i share it anyway. Like a while ago, when Richard was spotted in a photoshoot on his roof with Olaf Heine, i did share those pics too, even though they were taken by someone living in his street without him knowing.. so that was probably crossing that line as well..

I feel okay with sharing pics if you can see the guys seeing the camera/aware that a photo is being made...sort of.. depends a bit on the situation. But it is a blurry line, and can imagine others might consider some of the stuff i posted over the years to be crossing that line.

But as long as we all respect some sort of boundaries, i think we can all enjoy the R+fandom togethet.

Fortunately soon the new tour starts and there will be loads to share again of the guys on stage (and i love fans taking pics during a show, imagine all the stuff on stage we wouldn't have seen if fans hadn't shared it 🌺).

For the Paul and Richard stuff, i said it before, i'm just so glad that after several years of fighting and disagreeing, i love that they seem to have found a way to get along, and i think you can really tell on stage where, not just they but the others as well, seem more relaxed and so much enjoying playing live. Imagine if they had broken up after the Mutter years, or after the difficult recording of later albums, or after the gap year they took...they've stuck it out, the whole band, and the six-men-marriage is stronger than ever imo ❤️💚💛💜🖤💙

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

“Women and non-binary people” stop. Do you mean people with marginalized genders? Do you mean gender-oppressed people? Then say that. Stop refusing to recognize the very much gendered oppression of other trans people. There’s not some chasm of difference between how our oppressors treat a very masc non-binary person and a more binary trans man. I’m also non-binary and very much oppressed for my gender but because I’m transmasculine I could never feel comfortable in a space that marketed itself like that. Tell me what the real harm is of letting gender-oppressed mascs into spaces discussing gender oppression is. Because the consequence of not doing so is denying them space for their experiences just because of their gender identity. Do better.

Needlessly close reading and long commentary on chapter 57 and how the audience actually has an extremely limited view on what Marcille has been like over the course of her life.

I am once again thinking about how pre-dungeon Marcille is so quiet and stoic that she seems like a completely different person. How jarring chapter 57 is for the audience. Like you have Marcille, who has been just the most blindingly expressive person with resting baby face

And then the chapter drops a title page of Marcille hearing from Falin for the first time in four years and it's like.

Who is that. Genuinely. Would you even realize that's Marcille without the context clues?

And then the chapter just keeps coming in with the sucker punches.

We have SEEN Marcille meet strangers. It was never with this understated of a smile.

literally who the hell is this. the few times the audience gets to see some Signature Marcille Faces that they're used to is when she finally gets to see Falin again

when she's testing out her new spells

(and when Laios and Falin are fantasizing about her being their damsel in distress, funnily enough)

And then finally. Finally you get to a fully recognizable Marcille when she fucking DIES and comes back to life to geek out about necromancy.

We know she loves magic. We know she loves Falin. So it's not so surprising that she wouldn't be able to keep a mask up when thinking or talking about the things she loves. But why the mask in the first place? Where does it come from? It's tempting to think that, maybe, Falin's departure just hurt her so much that it turned her into a quiet person.

But that's only half true. If you go back, the first instance you see of this incredibly mild personality is actually introduced much earlier, in chapter 17.

What if she was always like that. What if her default after her father died was to hold people at arm's length, to never really emote past being polite and friendly. What if Falin was the first person who was able to bring her out of her shell, and when she left, Marcille just went back to how she was.

And when comparing her detached demeanour with someone else...

It's not exact, but wouldn't you say there's a resemblance? Wouldn't you think she might be trying her best to imitate what she saw of her own mother working as an accomplished mage?

It would certainly explain why she's hiding behind her portrait in her nightmare, at least.

We aren't told that Marcille has been distancing herself from everyone around her using a mature and dignified personality she modelled off her mother. But we sure as hell are shown it, I think.
