THIS!

Have I mentioned already that I loooove the autistic lesbian couple show <3

Pure comedy gold, and also sooooo sweet and fluffy and honest. The cottage, the found family trope, the story telling overall. And most importantly, to see middle-aged people on screen, all their wrinkles and memories and everything <3

Exxcuse me while I freak out about this vry gay coded (Vry Straight tm) German TV shortfilm series (that I rly only started bc my parents were watching it, but now I have Ships and am invested and it has 0 fandom because German)

Just two women and their kids... living together... co-parenting...

A blonde and a brunette....

If you don't want any spoilies just let me tell you that it's like actually good despite not actually being gay & if you understand German & want to watch it it's in the zdf Mediathek rn until october 2020. I'm providing gay (au: canon divergence) fanfic here & if anyone watches it, ships them too & has any fanfic/fanart/... content let me know!!! I mean it!!! I wanna see it!!!!

If you're asking yourself why daheck I'm writing in English rn despite the show being in German- I don't know, man. Ask my brain.

Now to the spoilers!

So the story is that Ella (quick facts: the blonde one, from a Big City, studied to be a lawyer but never did her internship which she needs to actually be a lawyer because the ppl in the lawyer's offices she tried to work at didn't want to deal with her because she has asperger-autism) finds out that her dead husband Thomas didn't just leave her a house in the middle of nowhere but that said house is very much lived in- he had a secret live and a family with...

Christina! (The brunette, she has one 14y/o son- not from Thomas- a 6y/o daughter- from Thomas- & is pregnant- from Thomas-, a male best friend who lives next door, runs a small Café in this little coast town the series is set in, money troubles and def can't afford to get kicked out of the house.)

Now obviously they don't get on at first- they both try to hire (the same, because the town only has the one) lawyer to get rid of each other... but during the first episode they get to know and like each other and in the end Ella even gets the house back from a guy who wants to turn it into a hotel or sth instead of selling it to him, & the old lawyer guy offers that she can do her internship with him- and from that point on, Ella, Christina + Kids are living together...

And Oh Dear God they are shippable.

One episode is literally called sth like 'the thing about love' & this is the pic for it:

Like??? You're just asking for me to ship it???

Of course instead Christina is dating some male tourist & Ella is in a more-fuckbuddies-than-relationship with Christina's bff... [which, I can still accept all that as canon if I headcanon them as bi, Christina probably needs a quick affair with some rando before she can start sth srious (with Ella plssss), & Ella and the dude (Jannis) are actually kinda shippable as is he with Christina so how bout some poly action? Given that in one ep three minor characters get a happily ever after I Don't Fucking See Why Not The Main Characters Too (ok it was never said that the two minor character dudes were together but the minor character gal was with both of them) anywayys I might write ot3 fanfic sometime soon]

Btw quite some of the things Ella does are also Mood for me- I mean, idk how accurate the depiction of aspergers' is bc I don't have it/personally know anyone who does but given that all ppl are different even if they have the same diagnosis & the character Ella def has difficulties in social interaction & communication which google tells me are the main things in an asperger diagnosis, I think they probably did an ok job, also it's just nice to see a Not Neurotypical person as a main character & actually succeeding at what she does!

Back to shipping

Christina and Ella are def co-parenting the kids, the girl even asked whether she could call Ella mom too...

Also one time Christina kissed Ella's cheek and I just about squealed

Christina also owns at least two rainbow sweaters

Couldn't find a pic of the other one but it has the Correct Pride Flag Colours and she was wearing it to a parent-teacher conference she went to With! Ella! & all the characters thought they're a couple too.

So

I Ship It

Hope I'm not entirely alone, tumblr & ao3 don't even recognise the fandom as a tag much less the ship, so rn it feels like I'm swimming with a pool noodle of ship! XD

she was such a beautiful and talented actress that brought to life so many iconic characters, and from what the people around her have said, she seemed like a kind and powerful soul. she made everything she was in better, and she will be missed tremendously. rest in paradise helen mccrory

maybe i’m overreacting but, y’all, anna karina was 79 when she died. she lived. she aged. it’s breaking my heart to see all these pictures of her in my feed as a perky twenty-something. of course, that’s the time she’s most known for. she was an icon of the 60s. but i think, for a lot of people, that might as well been when she died… because we don’t value women as they age. and it’s breaking me heart.
