So glad people are starting to find their way back on pitch. Ur gifs always save me from caffeine and nicotine addictions lmao. I suddenly remembered that Leon said he wanted to fulfill all Draxler’s wish (if you can find that plz). There’re some lovable people that I just wish they can achieve their dreams. Hope u achieve urs too.
Btw I have so much fear about ao3 if u wonder why I’ll tell u later😅
I’m listening to ‘You Never Can Tell’ by Chuck Berry.
Classic huh.
Me too! It’s always nice to see some familiar (and beloved) faces 😊 and that means the world to me that you like my gifs!!! I firmly believe that if they can brighten someone’s day even a little bit, I’m doing my job 🤞
I found the Leon quote you were looking for as well :) I’ll link it below:

I definitely agree. I think it’s so easy to get bogged down in all the cruelty of the world, even though there are some really incredible people out there. You’re definitely one of them 💜 I hope you achieve everything you’re dreaming of!
Now I’m curious about your fear of ao3…what happened?
And as usual, you’re killing it with the song recommendations! You respect the classics, and I love that :)
according to your bio, you and i are probably the last two people on the planet who remember that jule d exists so i wanted to commiserate for a moment ... do you ever think about what could have been if he had the same kind of ambition and mentality as his peers and actually strove to reach his full potential ... i love seeing my bayern boys succeed for club and country (shoutout to the class of 1995 i love those guys) but i sometimes still wish he could do the same ... at one point i really thought he would be germany captain but that's obviously not happening now ... doesn't even get called up anymore and that's kind of sad tbh ... also moment of silence for the other lost talents of that generation too ...
sorry for long post i hope you are doing great <3
haha i haven't talked about julian in soooo long... months? years? welp
it is genuinely disappointing which is why i detached myself from following him as much after a certain point post-move-to-psg when i realized yeah he wasn't really going anywhere beyond this
i really do think it's a mentality thing which is why i was always a bit relieved he never joined bayern despite the occasional rumor here and there; he just doesn't have the ambition! which is almost even more disappointing because i think he's got great technique and if he had just applied himself more i don't think he'd be where he has been for the past few years but also he seems satisfied and i can't blame him! everyone's priorities are different
i don't think i ever wished or believed he'd reach captaincy with the nt but at least in the confederations cup he had obviously earned a lot of trust with joachim (and became another point of argument against joachim's time with the nt b/c of favoritism, keeping julian around when it wasn't as though he was as qualified as other players on the squad or even those left out of the squad) so it's another factor of disappointment that he had so much potential and so many resources and did like. nothing with them lol
happy that he seems to be happy though so good for him! but yeah. it's a bit tragic for me to witness since he grew up as one of those wunderkinder and then sort of faded away... but many young players unfortunately go through that. just sucked with julian because i felt he had so many chances (more than he deserved imo lol) and...... ??? nothing!
don't apologize for the long ask ! this is an absurdly long answer <3 i don't mind talking about him it's been so long lol
