sometimes, life is truly dreadful. just really, really awful! but then there are FRIENDS, and STORIES, and with them, the suggestion that perhaps the bleak may not be so daunting, nor so lonely, as previously thought!!

Right at the very beginning of 2x01, when Ava gets to the bar late for her shift and Hans tells her she’s late? And her reply is “my roommate forgot to set the alarm” and Hans’ reply is that super sarcastic “yeah, okay”
The somewhat hidden layer here is Ava incorrectly uses the masculine form of “my roommate” - mein mitbewohner instead of meine mitbewohnerin
So maybe Ava just has bad beginner German (highly possible) but also maybe her German is decent and she’s trying to hold up some ridiculous cover story about her and Beatrice not living together. Except Hans has 0% fallen for any of this and clearly knows who actually runs Ava’s life schedule and now it’s turned into an inside joke because Bea still doesn’t want to break the cover story

While it was.. not great to have to leave home before 6 this morning in order to get one of the few trains that are going despite the strike (plus the usual bauarbeiten), the upside is that I have some time to work on my end of year fic list while sitting at a nice cafe with a coffee and a pistachio croissant 😌

About Laurie’s body language around Erik
Laurie usually projects assertiveness and composure.
Have you ever noticed how different his body language is whenever he’s alone with Erik?
From the moment he starts pushing Erik away...
...and every time he actually needs comfort or reassurance...
...Laurie is always physically turning away from Erik, avoiding to look him in the eye.
Just generally avoidant, in fact.
I mean, he’s nervously twiddling the carpet in this scene. He usually hides very well that he’s a walking bundle of nerves and he’s never been that obvious.
He can’t seem to stand looking at the guy but he takes it very badly when Erik’s not looking at him. Talk about moody...
Arms crossed, looking away. His whole attitude screams defensiveness.
The only times he meets Erik’s gaze straight on, he gives him a defiant look. As if he knew he’s losing control on his emotions and needed to reassert himself.
But whenever Erik takes him by surprise, he’s the only recipient of Laurie’s rare moments of raw vulnerability.
Be it moved...
...heartbroken...
...frustrated...
...or hurt.
He may entirely miss the truth behind those meaningful gazes because Laurie’s little dance with him is so frigging confusing.
Laurie, you slippery creature... just how long are you going to fake it, huh?

hello all, happy wednesday ! 😌✨️
the writing has been good during the break, and i am knee deep in plenty of things right now that i plan to return with !! knee deep enough that i'm willing to share a bit more about them. i originally wasn't going to mention them until i fully returned, but i like where i am with many of them !! and therefore — almost want a bit of guidance on what to wrap up first !!
would you mind if i made a lil poll, with what i have ?? 🤔 and i can go in order on where everything ranks ??
still no determined date on when i will come back but !! i want to be here before summer !! 🤗🪻

I kept referencing that Irminsul is also the Tree of Time and that its influence also stretches into the future, which gives sense to Dain being able to know what happens in the future as per Travail and some miscellanies, but—
rises hands It's time to stop in the hiding and be unapologetic about this because it's actually been carved into stone at long last 🥺
