26. What’s their preferred mode of transportation?
Car.
—————————————————————————
#78 goes to Dr. Richards (Medic) for 35!
35. How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?
Richards has no friends, and she couldn’t care less about what her teammates are excited about. So the overall answer is, “no.”
—————————————————————————
#79 goes to Syd (Scout) for 8!
8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?
“Slow down! You’re moving too fast!” Is something Syd heard a lot during their childhood. No matter what they did, they were always fast about it. Talking, walking, reading, sleeping, they were always fast. Always....
—————————————————————————
#80 goes to Oti (Sniper) for 24!
24. Is sex something they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?
Oti doesn’t talk to anyone. The most he’ll do is give a couple grunts or hums in response to anything. Even Devon struggles to get any kind of word out of his mouth. So no one really knows what he’s comfy talking about, cause he never speaks!
—————————————————————————
#81 goes to Emm (Engineer) for 17!
17. Are they easily embarrassed?
Eh. Kinda?? Emm is also a “keep to yourself” kinda gal, about personal stuff especially. And since Jonas and Richards need that kinda info to embarrass their teammates, she never really gets embarrassed bc no one knows what might embarrass her.
—————————————————————————
#82 goes to Jonas (Spy) for 31!
31. Who are they most glad to have met?
REDs Engineer and Dr. Richards. Jonas has never had friends, and being around Richards, his friend, makes him feel like he has a purpose. Not just the purpose of being a Spy, but the purpose of doing whatever Richards wants, bc she’s his friend :)
(and he wants to kiss REDs Engineer until he suffocates :/)
—————————————————————————
#83 goes to Westley (Heavy) for 3!
3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)
She just thinks about what scares her until she falls asleep.
—————————————————————————
#84 goes to Doe (Soldier) for 25!
25. What are their thoughts on marriage?
Doe thinks it’s a wondrous thing that bounds to lovers together, so that they are united forever. So sweet :)
I'll start, 2005, PG rated, live action/cartoony CGI hybrid au.
Heavy is the live action one and everyone else is a cartoon, Soldier is played by Patrick Warburton, Pyro is played by Richard Steven horvitz making grunting noises, "pump it louder" by the black eyed peas and "who let the dogs out" is on the sound track. @tyrianluda
You were standing right in front of Richard and lived to tell the tale?? How??? How was the experience?
Hi and thank you for this ask which allows me a bit to talk about this concert 😌🤲🏼
Yes, I survived in some mysterious way! I have to say that standing this close to Richard has been a dream of mine for about nine years, and despite all hope, I didn't think it would work out.
The entrance to the concert area in Dresden was quite a hassle, as you had to run over a kilometer after security (and running is NOT my strong point at all). Thanks to my rather fit companion and a bit of luck, I ended up standing on Richard's side in the second row and let me tell you - this man is just as beautiful live, just as fascinating and engaging, and just as incredibly irresistibly attractive as he looks in photos and gifs.
Richard's presence on stage is unique, he knows exactly which movement fits the music and situation, and yet it doesn't seem rehearsed, but like he's really feeling the music. The way Richard 'conducts' the crowd is also simply captivating, you can hardly resist it when he stands in front of you and does his finger pointing 👈☝👉.
Plus, his eyes… 1. his eye make-up is simply superb and 2. the way he lets his gaze wander over the crowd, always looking for someone in the audience to hold his gaze, clearly contributes to his effect as a proper rock star.
At the same time, it was a nice experience to get a little insight into the 'normal' Richard alongside his stage persona, since he probably does wear his emotional life on his face at times. The way he communicates with the roadies by grinning, pointing, raising his eyebrows, grinning at Paul, sometimes rolling his eyes in annoyance when something doesn't quite work ( during DRSG he didn't wear his pyro-sleeve, either because he had forgotten it or it wasn't working, and was probably a bit pissed off about it for a moment) - it all shows that he is also REALLY a human being. It sounds silly to phrase it like that, but he often seems so larger than life to me, so unattainable and breathtaking, that it feels good to be able to perceive him as a regular person; even if it's just through glimpses on stage.
I still haven't recovered from the sight of him and keep watching the videos I recorded of the concert in disbelief and awe (I zoomed in on Richard for almost every single one of the videos. My mom laughs all the time now when she sees the videos and says how amazing it is to see "Richard and his little background musicians :)" on stage). I know some people see the band that close 10,15, 20 times per tour, but for me it was just something very special and that day (Dresden, 16.05.24) will forever have a very special part of my heart.
Some small little pictures I took of Richard because these curves cure my nerves:
31 Days Rammstein Challenge - Day 30: Favourite Ship
When someone asks me about what my favourite Rammstein ship is, my standard answer is friendship. For me, that's one of the things that make Rammstein so special. They have stuck together for not just the duration of the band, but from long before that.
The majority of the band members have played in Rammstein for more than half of their lives. Some of them have played together in bands for close to 40 years. And still, they seem to have enjoy each other's company and have fun together on stage.
To illustrate this, I have picked the five photos Richard Z. Kruspe posted on his Instagram last June, with the following captions (inspired by Placebo's song Pure Morning):
Oliver: A friend in need
Schneider: A friend indeed
Paul: A friend so sweet
Flake: A friend down the street
Till: A friend who bleeds
As Flake Lorenz told Strassenfeger:
«I see us as friends who have known each other for a very long time. Who have experienced a lot together. And who will definitely get along very well for quite a while.»
