#and i swear the part about monaco partecipating for the first time and charles representing them is not a last minute addition

[schumiatspa]

Charles's tweet about Eurovision has reminded me of some random headcanons for a vague Eurovision AU that I had come up with while watching ESC (under the cut):

Charles is the first singer representing Monaco ever (it's the first edition for Monaco but he gets to the final straight away). He becomes one of the public's sweethearts very quickly, during his first performance he breaks Twitter (and Tumblr) and he gains 1m new followers, 916 wedding proposals through DMs and makes half of Europe's male population questions their sexuality. His perfomance is pretty simple: he obviously sings a sad song that he has personally written and plays the piano.

Mick is the other (twink) sweetheart. He represents Germany and he usually is more of a pop star (he's got tons of people wrapped around his finger thanks to his catchy songs, brilliant smile and puppy face), but here he brings a slow ballad about his father (for reference, think about How do I say goodbye by Dean Lewis or You let me walk alone by Michael Schulte, who in fact represented Germany in 2018).

Lewis is the ESC king, the main attraction, the focus of every photographer on the red (blue?) carpet. He represents the UK. He wears a leather outfit: leather pants, leather sleeveless shirt that he doesn't button up to show off the abs. He brings a LGBTQ+ flag on the stage (just like Mengoni did this year). His dog Roscoe has more followers on Insta than half of the other participants.

Seb doesn't sing - I was torn between making him Mick's manager or the ESC main host, but I'd probably go with the latter. He would do wonders as the host: he would be hilarious and he would surely flirt with half of the staff, the journalists, the participants and the other hosts (and he would definitely have favourites coff coff). Anyway, whether he is there as a host or as a manager, they'll find him in a storage room heavily making out with the English singer by the end of the final.

The rest of the Twitch Quartet (so the Twitch trio aksjs) could partecipate as a band, but that would clash with the nationality thing, so idk

Carlos represents Spain. His father won Eurovision many years ago and so did his mentor Fernando Alonso - a duo that caused a stir in the following years, because of some rumours about the two of them being more than friends and having some... Biblical relations. Well, everytime Fernando partecipated in the ESC, some rumours came up about threesomes and other fun activities of his during the after parties, so it's not a matter of if, rather a matter of with whom and how. Spain hopes to clean their image by bring represented by Carlos, the personification of hot-face-but-good-boy-attitude.

K-Mag represents Denmark and sings a song dedicated to his daughter.

Kimi is there one way or the other, I was thinking that Val could represent Finland (and pull something crazy like getting naked at the end of his rock perfomance) - but Kimi is there. Maybe in the shadows doing God-knows-what. Maybe as Seb's reclutant co-host.

#don't take this too seriously it's just a bunch of texts i sent to my sister while i was watching esc #should i elaborate on this? create a proper AU? i might sooner or later #and i swear the part about monaco partecipating for the first time and charles representing them is not a last minute addition #because of the tweets #it was like the first thing i thought about when i texted my sister that the world (= me) needed this kind of au #sebastian vettel #lewis hamilton #charles leclerc #mick schumacher #carlos sainz #fernando alonso #i'm not gonna tag everybody lol this should be enough #sewis #f1 #v.rambles
