Richard: All his clothes are 50 shades of blue((( Let’s dress him in red/green/florals/any other colour!

*On the street*

Every old lady: What a lovely baby girl!

Wow, what an insight to the creative process! I would LOVE to know about Rammstein composing process. Well, we all know about disputes and stuff, but how ideas are born and developed - a miracle in the making!

@wir.sehen.euch

Richard *enters the room* The WHO site says, complementary foods should be introduced at the age of 6 months, starting with puréed vegetables…

*sees Paul feeding the baby a bread roll*

Gosh, whatever!

Paul: Let’s take this diaper of, you’ll be all fresh and free, like you daddy in his youth days. Oh, Hiddensee!

*Ten minutes later*

Baby shits on the floor.

Paul: That’s punk!

Baby spreads shit all over the floor and himself.

Paul: That’s far to punk. Please, stop.

Baby *cries*

Richard: He just cries and cries and I don’t understand what he wants!

Paul: Guess, he wants to rewrite the guitar part for the 100th time really badly, our little diva baby boy.

Paul and Richard *on the phone* Schneider, hi! Congratulate us, we’ve just adopted a baby!!! Any tips from a veteran dad?

Schneider: Ha! Hahahaha ahhhhh *infernal laughter turning into sobs*

I’m a Pisces and that’s why you don’t want me in your mind

I’m a Pisces and that’s why I gotta go home.

That was fun. I read deity as dairy and got instantly hooked up. Which Greek milk product am I? God, deity means god🙃

made a quiz, tell me what greek deity favours you!!

Summer is blossoming in the city. An evening stroll, some shaggy buildings and plenty of beautiful flowers. Part 1

I’ve woken up to no power and the forecast is rain. This however, has brightened my day significantly. Thank you Jens Koch for all that you do.

You call it shitty memes, I call it treasure

Getting bored once more… Makes me do some other shitty memes ! 

Paul Landers shitty memes 2/?

Thank you @hanhan156 for tagging me! It’s so exciting to learn more about people 😄 and sure I just need an excuse to talk about myself😋 so let’s go:

1. Do you ever make your bed?

As I leave in a studio I kinda have too. And I really like how it looks like with a cozy cover and many pillows.

2. What’s your favorite number?

I don’t have one and don’t actually understand how someone can have it. You like the way it looks? Or it’s your lucky number? Or it has some memory behind it? No idea

3. What’s your job?

Well, I can talk about my work for hours, cause I love it) I work as a recruiter in a big international company. I look for both professionals and early in careers in several countries in very different directions from tech to sales to finance and so on. I can complain sometimes how stressed I am and how I feel bad about my job, but at the end of the day I am really happy with it and the company is wonderful and so on and so forth))) check me out on LinkedIn 😅

4. If you could go back to school, would you?

No, I wouldn’t. School was miserable and I was glad to finish it. University was more fun for sure and I am grateful for memories and experience, but I am so much more happy now.

5. Can you parallel park?

I have a license, but I can barely drive 😬 I cannot parallel park or park in any other way, I can drive straight forward and panic at every crossroad or if another car is passing by or for any other reason. Honestly, a couple of times I stopped the car, turned hazards on and cried)))

6. A job you had that would surprise people?

None, I guess. I had a number of shitty jobs while studying with McDonalds being the best among them, but nothing peculiar.

7. Do you believe aliens are real?

I guess, statistically, there should be some other life in this endless universe.

8. Can you drive a manual car?

No, obviously))))

9. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Reading gay fics counts? And well, I do indulge myself in many things, but I’d rather keep it private😈

10. Tattoos?

No, and I don’t plan any

11. Favorite colour?

Deep blue🌊

12. Things people do that piss you off?

I get irritated so much when people are too slow with actions, decisions or understanding, but I am working on it)))

13. Any phobias?

I don’t have any phobias, just rational fears like pain or standing on the edge of the roof. But I am most scared of depths, as I am a bad swimmer.

14. Favorite childhood sport?

I didn’t do any sports as a child and I don’t do it now, just some gym occasionally. But I LOVED running as a child, especially in nature, pretending to be a horse.🐎 I still remember this powerful feeling 😄

15. Do you ever talk to yourself?

Yes, all the time) who else would listen to all my constant ramble?!

16. What movie do you adore?

I don’t know 🤔 I am not very much into movies, they seldom move me deeply, it’s more like an entertainment

17. Do you like doing puzzles?

Not really. Working with small pieces irritates me and I hate to concentrate too much on little details and the result is so slow. Actually, now as I think about puzzles I get irritated already 😆

18. What’s your favorite kind of music?

I listen to lots of different music all the time: from classics (Tchaikovsky is my favorite) to heavy things (Rammstein, SOAD, etc) to soft indie ( Brazzaville, AnnenMayKantereit) to pop (Lady Gaga, Lana del Rey) and back. Probably, rap and hip hop are not so close to my heart, but this week I discovered Lizzo and she’s so empowering, I can stop listening to her)

19. Tea or coffee?

Black tea with milk no sugar, thank you

20. First thing you remember wanting to be when you grow up?

A politician because I wanted power and money😂 or a horse (see q. 14))))

Wow, that’s a long post! Thanks again for asking, it was so great to answer all these questions. I don’t feel like tagging anyone, so let it stay like this )

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

mondscheinsonate

This is the kind of research we need. No joking, it’s very much needed and appreciated. Thank you very much.

Why is Paul Landers So Damn Cute: An Analysis of his Lil Face

it’s common knowledge among the rammfam that paul is way too adorable for his own good, but what is it about his face that makes us go 🥺💖? today we’re breakin it down welcome to game theory

eyes:

paul has some incredibly happy lookin eyes. they’re very round, they’re a little hooded, and the hooded lid actually has a downward crease extending past his lash line making them look bigger, more downturned, and extra soft because they create a bit of a shadow at the lower outer corner of his eye (and this feature has actually grown more prominent with his age).

on top of that, he has a naturally very prominent aegyo sal. aegyo sal (korean for “cute skin”) is essentially a puffy tear bag, and is considered to be adorable to the point where people will use makeup to emphasize it like you can see below. it makes the eye look cute and smiley and BOY has paulchen got it

ON TOP OF THAT he’s got the smile-activated wrinkles around his eyes which are just charming; every wrinkle on this man’s face has come from smiling and i just think that’s fantastic :)

nose:

an adorable nose indeed! it’s skinny and pointy. from the side its fairly straight and it comes off his face at a sharp angle so it’s like a lil scalene triangle... it’s also upturned at the end (the nostrils and septum are lower than the tip) which makes it seem almost buttony from the front. It’s fairly small overall, and it actually lies almost perfectly in the center of his face which is very aesthetically pleasing as it makes for a very balanced sort of face

smile:

the little lines frame his smile and emphasize his round cheeks! it’s no news to anyone that paul has adorable marionette cheeks so there’s not much to say about that. there’s nothing especially unique about his lips but they are nice nonetheless! his mouth is a bit on the higher side (closer to his nose) which is a more youthful feature and adds to the babyfaced look, and I like the way his smile is fairly straight but just turns up at the corners it just looks so... :]

face shape:

ROUND! he has full cheeks with low cheekbones, and his jaw is on pretty much the same level as his chin, making the bottom of his face the same width as the top. the very round haircut emphasizes this, of course.

so that’s why paul looks so goddamn cute thanks

❤️

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day!

Wow, Rammstein is truly timeless

Your sixth most recent emoji is how your guardian angel feels about you

Looks like a great reading list! Thank you for making it 😃

babypaulchen’s fanfic recs

Most of these fanfics are shippy, some are gen (no ships). Please feel free to recommend me some fics as well!

Firstly, The Other Side of Midnight is my favorite Rammstein fic! “Till and Paul tell each tales to pass a sleepless night.” Paul and Till share stories about how they fucked Schneider, basically. I really like this one because one of Paul’s stories takes place in Feeling B era and I soak that shit up like a sponge. Plus it’s written beautifully. Like, this is one of those fics that makes me envious it’s so damn good. Read it or else!!!!

Fried Eggs and Honey - “Feeling B are just becoming established, but Paul wants more. He doesn’t know exactly what it is that he wants, though - not until he meets the shy, mysterious Till.” A super cute fic that I read all in one night. It’s written so realistically and casually that you can’t help but feel like you’ve lived the moment. I love fics that actually feel genuine. And Till is adorable. And Paul is so Paul. This fic literally had me punching the bed because they wrote Paul so spot-on. His faults and flaws, when he was young. Read this one. It’s so cute and perfect and the romance is written so realistically and ahhhh

Heroic & Durable by @zigratbites - “Paul has an accident on stage, but decides the show must go on anyway. This leads to some yelling, h/c and kissing.” Another great, wonderful, perfect fic where they capture Paul’s personality well. He’s a dedicated dumbass who will do whatever it takes to get something done well, and this shows in this fic. The side of Chrispaul does not hurt one bit, either. Love this one so much!!!

My Girl. by @till-hammer - “Frau Schneider comes out of her shell, but only for him.” this is Till/Schneider! this fic is SO GOOD I want more like this. exploration of character and gender is a favorite of mine. def recommend this one. love love love it

führe mich, halte mich by @slashs-head-is-fuzzy​ - “Paul and Christoph impulse fuck after leading each other on with regular cuddling sessions.” LEGIT ONE OF MY FAV FICS AHHHH this fic is for me and naturally I requested Paul topping. I adore how Paul is written, and the smut is sehr gut ahhh 

sehnsucht ist so grausam by @lunarcorvid​ - “As they wrap up the shoot for Du Hast, Till finds himself staring at the pistol that Schneider still has tucked into the back of his pants.” A++++ this is so hot lmao gun play can be so good if written well

Lied der unruhevollen Jugend by @wiener-blut - “After spending some time at a party, Christoph and Paul meander back to Paul’s flat, wasted, to have some more fun.” I LOVE THIS FIC another Feeling B era fic, done by the lovely Lily, for my birthday ;w; It’s so cute and fun and she is always so spot-on when it comes to portraying their personalities. Def read!!

Scent - “Paul is careless; Christoph gets mad.” I love this one. It’s short, but so so sweet. I’m a sucker for fluff. And they wrote them both well, too. It’s so cute ahhhh

You Make Me Perfect by @krispy-posts​ - No summary, but basically domestic Schneider and Paul being cute before delving into smut. I am sooo weak for the beginning domesticity, and also the mention of chubby WHDT era Paul. I’ve reread this fic so often. I adore it ;o;

Jetzt hab’ ich dich by @wiener-blut - “Attending a sophisticated ball, a particular man catches her eye.” A DRSG ‘98 AU where the reader is attending the ball and Paul approaches and dances with you ahhHHHHH I LOVE THIS ONE IT MAKES ME MELT

ich will eure blicke spuehren by @lunarcorvid​ - “Till and Richard need to work off some post-show adrenaline when they get back to the hotel room. Richard has an idea involving cigarettes.” I have a thing for smoking and Richard casually lighting up while sitting on Till’s dick is super hot lol

Rock Star - “Till overhears things on the tour bus.” Paul and Schneider flirt, with Till sitting in another room, hearing it. It’s from Till’s perspective. It’s really cute and funny!! Inspired by this pic:

rein, raus - “ Paul could never shut up, especially at the most important of times. Like when fucking with Christoph on a tour bus while their band mates are sleeping.” summary says it all LMAO I think this was the first smutty Rammfic I read and actually enjoyed.

All My Marks On Your Skin - “Paul can’t remember when seeing Schneider’s claim on his skin became such an essential part of his life.” Post-concert fic where they stand in front of a mirror and Schneider touches his bruises! It’s Good™.

the strings that change the faces of men by @slashs-head-is-fuzzy - “Richard initiates something with Ollie. Schneider joins in on the fun. It all remains among friends, of course.” a very nicely written threesome fic!! I adore how Richard is written in this and the smut is EXCELLENT

Fluffy Slippers by @writing-rammstein (go and read all of her fics honestly, they’re all cute and perfect) -  “For the prompt: ‘can u hook a gal up with some good ol reader/paul hugging?‘” A request made by me LMAO This is super cute and sweet, I love it so much T__T

Herr Lorenz - “ After an inconsiderate joke, Flake feels insecure. Paul might just have the solution to it.” Feeling B era!! This was one of the first Rammstein fics I ever read…It’s so sweet. I love their friendship so much ahhhhh

Broken Machine by @iinchicore - “This story is set in 1994, during the time Rammstein stayed in Eichwalde to work on the songs for their first record, Herzeleid. The plot mainly focuses on Flake’s struggle dealing with his speech disorder.” This one is so relatable and touching. I love this dynamic between Till and Flake and the writing is BEAUTIFUL ackkk please read!!

So seid recht gut auf allen Wegen (So be good in all your journeys) by @prismabird​ -  “Far from home for the first time, Till finds solace from the unfamiliar in the arms of the familiar (based on Till, Richard, and Oli’s first trip to America in 1993).” So far, this fic is REALLY enjoyable to read. I love the element of friendship and reliance on each other. It’s a fun read, albeit sprinkled with some angst. I have laughed a couple times, and I related to Richard’s struggle with language.

Scar Tissue -  “While Till and Paul attempt to get on with their lives and repair an alreay damaged relationship, the band are also dealing with their bandmate who is suffering from a serious addiction.” This one is really, very good. I love the TillPaul aspect, but it’s very bittersweet. This fic is so sad, it nearly brought me to tears hhhh

Du riechst so gut - “Paul finds Schneider’s scarf while he is cleaning up the hotel-room he’s in for the moment. He really had just intended to use it to block out the light but- well, he’s not going to complain about what happens instead.” this writing is excellent, and the smut is very enjoyable. I adore any author that includes realism: Schneider’s inexperience and sloppiness in attempting to blow Paul is really appreciated.

Heart of the Matter by @weitweg-vonmir​ - “Paul received a heart transplant from a stranger that saved his life. Now, a year later, that stranger’s lover comes to meet the recipient of the transplant.” man this fic is like a punch to the gut. honestly, I’m seldom ever moved by angst fic, but this one legit made me cry, thinking about how fucked up and sad this whole situation is. you can only feel true sympathy for both sides of this. excellently written A+

Nähe des Geliebten by @naraism​ - “It’s New Year’s Day and the boys (Paul and Richard) finally have some free time just for themselves.” so soft and warm throughout it….such nice writing, too. and ugghh TOP PAUL IS MY WEAKNESS overall a really enjoyable fic!!

Together - It has no summary but basically Ollie and Paul go to the stage of where they’re going to perform to get a feel for it, and cute stuff happens. I wish there was more Ollie/Paul out there ),:

Let Me See You Stripped by @wiener-blut - “Post concert, Paul submerges himself in an indulgent fantasy with Schneider.” this one is a bday gift for me and it is SOOOO good lmaooo lily knows what i likes B) good shit

Wir halten uns den Arm (We hold each other by the arm) - “Paul and Richard spend some quality time together.” I found this more cute than sexy. I like how they wrote Paul in this!!

———

For the sake of full coverage, I wanted to include my personal favorites of my own works. This is more or less in order from #1 favorite.

Ich Will Eure Hände Sehen - “A six-man group of criminals, lead by Till, operate in early 2000’s Berlin. A series of occurrences, both good and bad.” This is my baby lmao it’s been with me since I first joined the fandom, and I really need to finish it. I love the characters sm… prob the most effort I’ve put into any of my fanfics in a long time ♡

Mein Tier - “Frau Schneider keeps to herself, unusually so. Her weekly life consists only of work, and staying at home. Unbeknownst to the people around her, Schneider goes home every day to five loyal dogs. Dogs who are unaware of their state of captivity. Dogs who are not truly dogs, but men with their humanity deteriorated to that of beasts. But they are more than happy to be cared for by their neurotic, loving master.” I’m so fond of this fic; I love all of the characters, and the dynamics. it is so fun to write for!! ♡

Reconnecting - “Paul and Schneider used to have an on-and-off-again sexual relationship when they were younger. Now it’s 2017, and something has reignited.” I LOVE this one. Schneider/Paul is my OTP, and this was the one time I shoved all my Feelings for them into a fic. it’s so soft and intimate

Stripping Away the Layers - “It’s been a while since their last “session”. It seems Schneider has to reteach Paul how to obey. Unlike Till, who has always striven to please him, Paul clings to his pride. Schneider manages to rip it from him. He always does.” THIS ONE IS SO HOT THAT’S ALL HDSFFGL I’m really pleased with how it came out. The spanking part is my FAVORITE love this one…

This Is How This Night Is Going to Go - “Following the hectic evening of being followed around by documenting cameras, Paul and Schneider find some privacy away from the others. Paul doesn’t really appreciate what he pulled earlier at the party.” the first smut fic I wrote for Schneider/Paul! I adore how I managed to write Paul in this one. he’s so bold and it’s hot lmao ♡

Red Ribbon - “Taking place in the 19th century, Schneider visits a whorehouse with intention of hiring the services of a male prostitute. It seems there are a few new additions. One in red catches his eye.” I’m mostly really proud of the second chapter… I love the pace of it, and the developing relationship. writing in different time periods is also sooo fun (plus ngl I really love prostitute AUs)

Worth the Risk - “Ollie visits Schneider in the secrecy of the night at a secluded villa where they’re currently producing their newest album. He and Schneider make use of their bandmates’ absence.” a super indulgent, super kinky Schneider/Ollie fic that I’ve reread multiple times just because I feel like I got it just right; it’s pretty damn hot lol

A Rocky Start - “Paul gets up earlier than Flake, and decides to make them breakfast. Soon enough, Flake joins him with a lovely surprise. Paul was never the best at resisting temptation.” I couldn’t get this idea out of my head while at work, and I’m really pleased that I managed to get it into words just how I envisioned it… so soft and warm and sexy ♡ I love this ship so much and I hope you give it a chance!!

And that’s about it! My greatest recommendation is exploring Rammstein fanfic as a whole, it’s another world of fandom that I feel deserves more recognition. Don’t be shy to test the waters!

Spice boys 💎

Name this band, wrong answers only

Our contribution: 30 Seconds to Lars

Huge respect to Rammstein, to their staying true to themselves and remaining humble. I am so very happy that they exist on this planet

Do you think the members of Rammstein ever fathomed making it to where they have today? Like, seriously.

Do you think they ever consisting of rowdy punks who played nude and put chickens inside of drums and had silly band names like “Orgasm Death Gimmicks” and “First Arsch” ever thought they’d become an international name (fairly certain they’ve played at least once in every continent saave for Antartica… I mean, obviously) that’s sold out multiple times, never lost a member over its course of near thirty years, and hit high ranking spots in music charts not even from their own country (the Untitled album from 2019 hit number one in fourteen countries), all while doing so mostly entirely in their native tongue (save for Pussy, Amerika, Moskau, Stripped, Te Quiero Puta, and the two English versions of Engel and Du Hast although I think those never made it big and the first three are also primarily in German)?

(ft. Richard singing in the beginning?)

(shares a rift with Sehnsucht!)

Do you think they ever thought they’d sell out and perform across stadiums and in big venues (Schneider was very proud to become a stadium band in the 2019-2020 tour, Richard was very proud to perform in Madison Square Garden, cannot recall which interview as they’ve blurred together for me) when their first or so show in America had maybe thirty people?

(bottom photos by delfi.lv)

(ft. Bück Dich… but how the tables have turned?)

Do you think they ever thought they could top a simple music video trying to emulate masculinity in East German eyes, releasing Deutschland twenty-four years later with their highest production yet (I assume) which is an incredibly, passionately constructed dedication to German as opposed to a tacky looking perfume commercial?

Do you think they ever foresaw a life outside of a restrictive GDR, a life that’s brought them across the world, a life that’s lead them to multiple decades of being the best of friends, a life that’s been Rammstein?

I don’t think they ever did, and it’s a bit awe-inspiring, isn’t it?

Feel free to add in more comparisons from past to current, stories, whatever. Below are some more early shows compared to now and some more pre-Rammstein videos/songs. Audio means that there is no video, video means there is audio and video.

[video] Du Riechst So Gut, 1996 vs 2019

[audio and video] Heirate Mich, 1994 vs 2019

[audio] Big Dong by First Arsch, ft. Till and Paul singing- Till in English! (1. Oh, Paul… 2. Compare this with Yukon, another English song where Till sings!)

[video] In the studio, 1994

[video] Silly little Feeling B compilation, centered around Paul

[audio] To Be by The Inchtabokatables; I belieeeeevvvvvee Oliver played the bass during this album (White Sheep), but I could be wrong, so take this entry with a grain of salt.

[audio] Crime by Orgasm Death Gimmicks, and I just want to say… literally the best band name possible.

[video] Spacerace by Feeling B, because who can say no to Schneider’s hair here?

[video] Stitched together live compilations of songs to show them over time

[audio and video] Some rare performances (well… the playlist says so)

Tag game!

Thank you dear @hanhan156 for tagging me, it’s always so much fun. Here we go:

Rules: tag people you’d like to know better.

Top 3 ships:

Paulchard (very much above everything else)

Johnlock

Cherik

Lipstick or chapstick: both actually :) I’m really into red lipstick and wear it almost everyday. But dry lips require care so chapsticks and lip balms come in handy)

Last song: Well, if we are talking about the last song that stuck in my mind is Heartache by Biting Elbows.

Last movie: just today I rewatched Three seconds, a Russian sports drama. I am not a sports fan and know nearly nothing about basketball, but I consider it one of the best modern Russian movies. As for something more well known, probably new Star Wars

Last book: Mort by Terry Pratchett
