Fanart, Fanfiction and Fangirling

Hehehe. So slash_kitten pointed out an interesting detail about the newly launched futube.de and I posted a comment about it and one thing lead to the other.

EDIT: You can find her take on the subject here:

Sorry for spamming, but I've just realised it's Thanksgiving Day. And while we don't celebrate it and I couldn't care less about it, I couldn't miss the opportunity to write a drabble about it. It took me something like 10 minutes, it must be my new record. :P

I saw a picture of Farin with stubble somewhere and my muse instantly woke up. I won't bother with an LJ-cut since it's so short.

"You're scratchy," Bela said rubbing his cheek against Farin's.

"I didn't feel like shaving this morning. And yesterday. And the day before."

"Lazy sod."

"Does it bother you?"

"No, I like a bit of roughness."

Farin grabbed a handful of Bela’s hair and pulled his head back. “Oh. So you like it rough?” He asked with a smirk.

Bela gave him a smouldering look. “Yes.”

Farin pushed him up against the wall and kissed him as if his life depended on it. He felt Bela give in completely and smiled. He would have to let his stubble grow more often.

I need more snogging against the wall. Yes. That would improve my mood very much.

I haven't written romantic stuff in a while, have I? Here, have a sickeningly romantic drabble.

Farin enters the bedroom and smiles. Bela is already fast asleep, his mouth slightly open and his breathing regular and deep. His dyed black hair hangs messily on his forehead, making him look younger.

Farin runs his hands through his own tousled, wet hair. He needs to bleach it again.

He kneels down on the floor beside the bed and sighs. They're just words, he thinks as he watches Bela, just words. Nothing to be afraid of. So why can't he ever say them when they're both awake?

He leans close and whispers in his friend's ear.

"I love you."

If anyone else wants a doodle, just ask! I'll pick a few of your LJ interests and draw something related to them. It may take a while, but I'll definitely do it! :)

Guess who's going to all 3 Ärzte concerts in Berlin next year! YES! I got a ticket for the 3rd show through the fanclub, so I'll see all 3 gigs. Besides, the 2nd June is a holiday in Italy, so I shouldn't have problems if I want to take a day off during the weekend. :D IF I'm going to be in Italy at all, that is.

*getting slighty anxious about my internship and future in general*

Other than that, I was in a sappy romantic mood yesterday and wrote this drabble.


Title: Tonight
Fandom: Die Ärzte
Characters: Bela B, Farin Urlaub
Prompt: 045 - Moon
Word Count: 99
Rating: G
Author's Notes: Contains vague, implied slash


"The moon is huge tonight, isn't it?"

Jan turns his head. Dirk is sitting on the pavement next to him, legs crossed and a half-smoked cigarette between his index and middle finger. The drummer always walks him to the bus stop after they're done with rehearsals and waits for the bus with him.

"Tonight would be the perfect night for a romantic date, girls are always more... willing on full moon nights." He looks at Jan and grins.

Jan doesn't speak, he just smiles and looks up. He wouldn't want to spend tonight with anyone else. Anyone but Dirk.

And today I found this picture on Lula's MySpace page. My only comment is: Bela, you know I love you with all my heart, but ohmygod shave that horror off your face!!! D:

( Der beliebte Oberlippenbart??? )

Ticket für Bela B y Los Helmstedt in Mannheim: bestellt! Wait, why am I writing in German? o_O Probably because I've been looking at German sites since yesterday. Anyway, I ordered tickets for 5 out of 6 of Bela's concerts, the only one missing is Open Flair, but at the moment there are only 3-day passes available and I don't want to pay 58 € for that. Does anyone know if there are single day-tickets available anywhere? I'm also a bit worried about my Lake07 ticket, why is it taking so long to arrive? :( But I got the confirmation email from the DÄ fanclub, I ordered the right tickets in the end, Bremen and Mannheim. I'll go to the bank to pay for them on Monday. Life's good.

And like I promised: drabbles!

So, DÄ are going to play at Rock im Park and Rock am Ring on the 1st and 3rd June. I'd LOVE to go to at least one of the 2, going to both would be a dream but they're so damn expensive. I want to talk to my bandmates about it, maybe we can go all together. Our keyboardist was the one who asked me about RaR in the first place, well, he sent an email to all of us, but I was the only one who knew where to find info about it. It would be great going all together, apart from our drummer who won't come because he's already going to GODS OF METAL on the 3rd June. Besides travelling with 3 boys is like having your own personal bodyguards. ^__^ We'll talk about it when we meet on Monday night, I just hope the tickets won't sell out this weekend, they only confirmed Die Ärzte yesterday!

We're going somewhere to celebrate Carnival tonight, in Milan we celebrate one week later than the rest of Italy. We're going to have a drink in a place near Demi's home and then we'll decide what to do after that. And I'm dressing up as Maya the Bee! Yay! :D

I talked about a ficlet yesterday, didn't I? Well, it pretty much wrote itself. Oh, my damned cigarette fetish.


Title: Intoxicating
Fandom: Die Ärzte
Pairing: Bela/Rod
Rating: PG-13
Summary: There's something extremely intimate in the simple act of sharing a smoke.
A/N: Smoking is bad for your health. Don't take this story as an encouragement to start.

Disclaimer: This is just fiction, no offence meant, I'm only doing this for fun etc etc. You know the drill.


( The door was ajar. )

I've just got an idea for another Los Helmstedt cartoon. Actually, it will be a whole comic-strip this time, but I don't know if I'll be able to draw it. I'll just do the storyboard and see what comes out of it. I also need to get a new website, as the old one is gone forever. *one minute silence*

For the moment here's a drabble.

Title: Last Christmas

Prompt: 092 - Christmas

Author's Notes: Contains implied slashiness.


"What do you mean, you can't remember what present I gave you for Christmas?"

"Last December was such a busy month, I forgot half the stuff that happened back then."

"And my present belongs to the forgettable stuff, doesn't it?"

"Don't make such a fuss about it. I'm sure it was amazing and I loved it."

"Oh yes, you loved it all right." Farin leaned down and whispered something in his ear.

Bela blushed to the roots of his hair. "Right. That one."

Farin gave him a devilish grin. "You won't forget anymore after I'm done refreshing your memory tonight."

And...

I'M FREE!!!

Yesterday was my last day of work, a day which risked to be ruined because a fucking pickpocket tried to steal my wallet at the station in Turin. >:O I was in front of the ticket counter when the girl in front of me told me: "Someone's just tried to steal your purse."

I thought it was impossible at first because I hadn't noticed anything, but when I checked I saw the zip of my bag was open. *cue panic* Luckily nothing was missing, one of the men at the counter had seen everything and yelled something at the thief, who promptly went away. My wallet was under a layer of stuff, tissues, biscuits and a tangerine, and my little bag was so stuffed the bastard would have had some difficulties stealing it anyway, but the fact I didn't notice ANYTHING creeped me out. The guy at the counter even said the thief had opened my bag while I was walking! And I didn't notice! :O

I'm always very careful, especially when I'm in train stations, I always wear my bag across the shoulder and keep it in front of me, sometimes I even turn it around so the front side faces my hip. You need to lift a flap and open the zipper to actually reach inside, so I try to make it as hard as possible for pickpockets, but yesterday it had slid behind my back while I was walking and the bastard took advantage of my distraction at once. *sends curses to the fucker*

The first thing I did when I arrived in Milan was hugging my dad and telling him everything. I didn't tell my mum though, she's already anxious enough. And needless to say, I was so nervous I woke up 3 times last night. *sigh* But nothing happened in the end, I'll just try to be even more careful in the future.

Sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent.

Oh boy, I don't get online for 4 days and the whole world changes without me noticing. All right, not the whole world, but Markus Karg leaving the Ärzte fanclub was a bit shocking. I wanted to send him an email, but kept pulling it off and decided I would send it today and then this morning I find out he's gone. WTF? I wrote to him anyway, I had a couple of things to ask him. Some people at the BademeisterBoard are glad he's away, but I'm actually a bit sad. I mean, I didn't know him at all, I only talked to him twice, but he was always very nice. I hope they'll find someone to replace him soon.

It looks like 2007 is the year of changes: first Bela's drums roadie, then Markus. And not just that: a girl working in my office had a sudden job offer and resigned last week, I was really surprised when she told me. And let's not forget I'm resigning too and going back to university. At the moment I signed an agreement that allows me to take a 3-month break, meaning I won't be working for 3 months starting from mid-February and then I can decide whether I want to go back or resign. All these sudden changes are making me kinda nervous. I know they have nothing to do with my life, but it's a strange coincidence.

And apropos WTF: there were 24°C (around 80° Fahrenheit) on the hills outside Turin yesterday. o_O It's January! It's supposed to be cold! I like warm and sunny weather, but man. In Northern Europe there was a typhoon with winds blowing at 180 KM/h and here it's like spring. Quoting Mr Farin Urlaub (or was it Bela?): "Klimakatastrofe, I love you."

And finally, the drabbles I wrote last week. I wanted to post them earlier but forgot the files at home. I'm an idiot :P

I had an idea for a silly St. Lucy's Day related drawing, but was too lazy to do it yesterday. Maybe tonight. For now here's a drabble! Totally slash-free! WHOO!

"You want to what?" Rod put his beer back on the table and stared at his two bandmates with an incredulous expression on his face.

"To play a concert on New Year's Eve. What's so strange about that?" Farin replied with an amused smile. He stirred his tea and took a sip.

"You said an open-air concert."

"Yes. What's wrong with that?"

"An open-air concert. At the end of December. The fans are going to freeze to death; we are going to freeze to death."

Bela shrugged and made a vague gesture with his hand. "We could give out Glühwein to the audience..."

"And non-alcoholic Orangenpunsch." Farin butted in.

The drummer rolled his eyes. "Yeah, that too. And it won't be so cold on stage, we're going to use a lot of lights, maybe some fire too."

"It won't be cold for you maybe," Rod retorted. "You can play wearing gloves. My fingers are going to freeze and fall off."

"Oh, don't be like that. It'll be amazing, the greatest show of the century."

Rod sighed and shook his head. "I still think that's the craziest idea I've heard in a long time."

Farin grinned. "That's why we love it."
