More of Daniel Brühl on Just One Last Question with Frank Elstner:

Listen. I don't think it's an accident we haven't seen Daniel in many of the major chat shows like Fallon. Save for the press junkets that must be contractual for big Hollywood projects, he seems to be quite selective in the interview sessions he agrees to.

It tracks that he wouldn't do anything gimmicky like Thirst Tweets—can you imagine though?? this feral fandom would be the death of him—opting instead for a long and intimate format that focuses on his work, like DP/30. This one falls under that format but it's special. Apart from his Arte documentary, I've never seen him more relaxed and candid. For one, he's never talked about his family this much. Already posted about the time Dame Helen Mirren bit his neck, who can blame her really now gonna go over some other favorite moments...

The way his entire face lights up when the host tells him about the time he worked with Daniel's (late) father:

The adorable way his son thinks his father is a clown off to the circus:

The animated way he talks about his son:

...and the almost bashful way he adds this afterthought:

His mischievous reaction when the host asks about his wife's influence on raising their child:

The way he opens up about his perfectionism and other shortcomings:

The way he pushes through his nervousness when the host drops this bombshell on him. (I'm all for hard-hitting questions but I was definitely like: HOW DARE YOU, SIR??)

The really long pause he takes when the host asks him when he last apologized to someone:

I first heard this referenced in Conversation with Juan Gabriel Vásquez at the Hay Festival, but he never really mentioned which movies of his actually made it to the shelf, so I was happy he did here.

...and you better believe I hollered my answers like I was on a quiz show. And I would have taken home the prize money because I scored 3/3 with Good Bye, Lenin!, Rush, and Inglorious Basterds.

p.s. shame as it is that we'll never see him squirm reading Thirst Tweets, I'm hoping someone will convince him to do Hot Ones. The depth of Sean Evans' questions will honestly surprise him. Also holding out hope that he'll be on The Graham Norton Show someday.

y’all remember that adult job i said i was getting? well, i got it so the bruhl shrine has received a massive upgrade. >:)

more pics and artist links below ;)))

The shelf itself is an IKEA Milsbow with four Mittled LED cabinet lights on the underside of every shelf to give it some light. I did have to drill a hole in the bottom self to feed some cords though, but other than that it was pretty simple to put together! :D

The framed The King's Man (2021) poster on the left was a freebie that I got for attending the opening night showing of the movie! I was the only person in the theater with my friend, so we nabbed about seven of 'em and handed them out to fellow Bruhl and Kingsman appreciators in our friend grounp.

The All the King's Men poster underneath isn't Bruhl related, but it was a gift from another friend who knows how much I like the Kingsman movie series. I also have a Kingsman shrine in my living room (and a Talking Heads shrine, and a Re-Animator shrine, and a Vladmir Nobokov shrine.... i am so completely normal).

Everything below reads left to right, I'll try to include links to artists where I can!

Comic books in the back are issues 2-4 of Thunderbolts presents Zemo: Born Better (which isn't canon to the MCU, and honestly is not my favorite, but the cover art looks cool lol) and the first collected volume of the original Thunderbolts run.

The black picture frames on the left are a sticker set from @injureddreams on their Etsy store and can be found here! The keychain in the golden frame on the right is also from their store, and is sadly sold out :(, but the store page is here.

Speaking of keychains, I have two on order from Noble Demons that are currently getting bounced around in my campus mail system that will go in those empty spots in the frame. Those two can be found here and here.

The funko pop on the left is the limited edition dancing Zemo from the Collector Corps subscription box (although you can find them resold on Amazon and the like for ~20 bucks), and the funko pop on the right is the regular Zemo pop from the FATWS line from 2021. These are also on sale for around ~10 bucks on Amazon.

The figpin in the very middle is the MCU Zemo pin from the FATWS line that was released in 2021.

The plush in the very middle was actually made by me :D. You can find the pattern on Etsy here, but if you're curious about the specific yarns used, you can check out my ravelry posts about it here.

And finally, the enamel pins in the golden frame on the right are from ChingonPinz on Etsy, but unfortunately are not sold anymore.

The DVD/Bluray collection on the left has German imports of Schule (2000) and Lessons of a Dream (2011), as well as American DVDs/Blurays of Deeply, The Edukators, Lila Lila, Inglourious Basterds, and The Cloverfield Paradox. Civil War bluray on the right is also a US release.

Special attention called to the Good Bye Lenin DVD on the left, which is the US Special Edition that has director's and actor's commentary tracks, including one with Daniel on it! Geez, if only someone were to rip those tracks and upload them to the internet. Maybe in a masterlist on a pinned post. Maybe at the top of their blog. That would be crazy hahahahahaha.

The magazine in the back is the European version of Issue 46 of The Rake, which contains the amazing and wonderful photoshoot that can be seen in this post here. (pinkie promise i did not spend $200 on that, I got it on eBay for like 20$)

The art board print in the middle is from rindelamater on Redbubble and can be found here.

The Good Bye Lenin Blu-Ray that is laying on the bottom of the shelf is an import from South Korea, and is actually the only region A blu-ray of GBL in existence since there has been no re-release in the US. I imported mine from eBay, although I think I have seen a few floating around on other sites.

Good Bye Lenin and Inglourious Basterds CD scores are pretty common, I don't think I need to explain those.

The plushie of Zeems on the right is from RedCapStore on etsy and can be found here. This was actually a gift from a friend and I hold it very dear to my heart. :)

The Laszlo Brainrot begins.

Angel of Darkness and Surrender, New York on the left are US mass market paperbacks. Super easy to find. :)

The framed art print in the very middle is my very favorite drawing from @pannypunkpanda's 365 day art challenge from last year! You can find this specific one on their RedBubble shop here.

The rest of the items on this shelf (including the custom Leuchtturm1917 Journal on the left *drool*) are from a PR box that was released for TNT's version of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness in 2020. In anticipation for the season, an online murder mystery party was held and journalists recieved a box of props that acted as clues for the mystery. There's an article covering the online event linked here for those curious. I managed to snag a box from a reseller on eBay for around 60 bucks, although that was the first and only time I have ever seen it available. :(

The box on the very bottom right is the mailing box that the murder mystery props from the shelf above all came in.

The board game on the left is a custom box and game that was only given out to the cast and crew of the first or second season of the Alienist iirc and is not easily available on the market. I, again, picked mine up from a reseller on eBay, but it's pretty hard to find.

The book in the middle is the tie-in edition of The Alienist by Caleb Carr, which is completely annotated and highlighted to shit by your's truly. :)

The picture frame on the right again has stickers from @pannypunkpanda's RedBubble shop linked here, and another sticker in the very middle from Elizabeth Ryan Shepard's RedBubble shop linked here.

And that's it! I may make another list with my holy grail items that I'm still on the lookout for but honestly I might just like to gatekeep those. It might make my chances of finding them better oops.

Dating Headcanons for the Danny Bunch

Here I present some general headcanons for what dating some of our favorite boys would include. Our boys up for bat are Alex, Fredrick, Zemo, and Paul. Headcanons start under the cut! Want to see specific headcanons? Send an ask!

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Alexander Kerner

• Alex is definitely a soft boy through and through

• He's a very affectionate partner. He loves to cuddle and shower you in affection. Alex seems absolutely touch starved at times.

• Anything can rile him up. Alex is definitely always up for sex, he's kind of insatiable in that regard.

• He also cannot for the life of him keep his hands off of you. If you are in touching distance he will not hesitate to hold your hand or wrap an arm around your shoulder.

• Alex is very much a clingy bf but he's absolutely precious.

• "How was your day?"

• "Why don't you sit down, I'll get us something to drink."

• He fawns over you to the highest degree. This boy cannot shut up about you.

• This one has wife energy, y'all.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Fredrick Zoller

• Fredrick is extremely possessive. When out in public he makes it very obvious that you're with him and he avoids advances others make towards you at all costs like the plague.

• One of his favorite things to do is take you to the cinema to watch all of the latest films that catches your interest.

• At high profile events he keeps you within arm's length. He doesn't want to lose you in the sea of people.

• He's fairly reserved in his affection all things considered when in the public view, but when that door closes he's all over you.

• He's very sweet but has a definite and defined edge. As someone who needs to maintain control in the public eye he will notice immediately when you step out of line in your role. Behind closed doors can be a much different story depending on the dynamic of your relationship.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Helmut Zemo

• Now this one...this one is literal royalty and he treats you as such.

• Zemo will shower you in gifts. He loves to spoil you and make sure you neither want nor need because you have it all.

• Everytime he hears you refer to him by his first name he melts.

• "Helmut? Can you get this blanket in the linen closet for me?"

• Cue his low-key but well hidden scrambling to do what you asked because how could a man say no when an angel like you says his name in a voice like that?

• Zemo has a laundry list of pet names in both his native Sokovian and in German. He loves to fluster you by speaking in Sokovian when you're in public with him.

• Expect a lot of teasing from him. An ungodly amount of it that leaves you annoyed, frustrated, or flustered while this rat bastard just smirks with that satisfied little head tilt of his.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Paul Krantz

• Paul (being the nervous and bright blushing virgin he is) tends to be timid at times when wanting to be affectionate. It's truly endearing how he will brush his pinkie against yours when you're sitting together with a blush as you let him take your hand.

• Ultimately you initiate a lot of the affection that happens. It's not that he's opposed to it, this baby just doesn't really know what to do with himself.

• Paul being the epitome of a soft, shy poet he is will fill up papers with poems about you and for you. Expect finding scraps of paper or envelopes around your shared space filled with his writing.

• His kisses are always gentle and he tends to shake. It makes you smile when he initiates the kiss even if it's a bit clumsy from his anxious nature.

• Paul is very much still a protective bf when it comes down to it. He can and will throw hands if he needs to.

• "Would you like me to read to you?"

• "Who would you like me to read from my love?"

• Like Alex, Paul is grade A+ wife material. Wife this one up and never let him go.

Daniel Brühl as Alex Kerner in Good Bye, Lenin!

#daniel brühl #daniel bruehl #goodbye lenin #good bye lenin #alex kerner #daniel bruhl #cutie #i love that turtleneck

[yellowpamonha]

good bye, lenin! is such an inspirational movie to me bc like. the boy knows his mother and even tho he doesn’t agree with her ideals, he dient want her to have her heart broken. he knows the pain she went through with his father and he simply doesn’t want to cause her any discomfort at all, even if it means creating more and more elaborate plans to keep the truth hidden, to make it seem like the world is the world she fights for.

and if I’m the mean time you have the chance to create a better version of the world she lived in, then what? she doesn’t need to know it’s not real. she doesn’t need to know that everyone in her age is getting severely depressed, she doesn’t need to know that her values don’t stand. she can believe that the country she fought so hard for is starting to be real, and getting recognized by the world. the socialist country that embraces other people and has opportunities and hope for a brighter future.

so yeah the movie does make me cry.

and FUCK isn’t he hot

#good bye Lenin #daniel brühl #he’s such a sweetie in this movie #so fucking hot #and his devotion and love and care>>> #best son EVER #movies #letterboxd

After I finished labyrinth I was delighted to see goodbye Lenin on tubi.

This is quite possibly the best movie I’ve ever watched. I’ve seen it so many times and each time I seem to love it more

It’s so full of love, and humor. Dealing with a rapidly changing future while dealing with mixed feeling about the past. Nostalgia for a world that didn’t exist and they thought it existed

The score is perfect at setting the mood

Twenty years later and it’s still my favorite Daniel Brühl role. Maria Simon and Florian Lukas are both also great. Burghart klaußner has a small but impactful role. The scene on the couch when he realizes who Alex is is such a powerfully acted scene. His face shows so much in such a short moment

DANIEL BRÜHL, ON THIS SCENE:

"That was in the morning, and I was feeling really great. I wasn't in the mood at all to play a crying scene. So I made Wolfgang slap my face… so that I could cry. I can cry best when I am mad. So I got into it. It was so absurd, and Wolfgang used his strength… He kept resisting, and then I made him do it."

~Actor's Commentary, Good Bye, Lenin! (Special Edition)

The film celebrates its 20th anniversary today.

Wearing Something of the Danny Boy's (Part 1)

More headcanons with our darling boys. I'm watching Rush finally so I can get Niki added to the roster but I must say I did not expect Daniel to sound like he does in it. Anyways, the boys covered here are Alex, Erik, Zemo, and István. I am working on a second enstallment of the dating headcanons so look out for that as well as a second enstallment of this one!

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Alex Kerner

• You're hanging out in Alex's apartment when you spot it hanging from the back of his desk chair.

• Alex's blue denim jacket.

• You don't hesitate to grab it and immediately wrap yourself up in it. It's big and warm, but most importantly it smells like the cheap cologne Alex wears that you can't seem to get enough of.

• When Alex gets back from doing some shopping he wasn't quite expecting his partner to be looking absolutely adorable while watching some random Football game on the television.

• His jacket is huge. He likes having something that can feel more cozy in and so you seem to swim in the fabric. The sleeves covers most of your hands as you're curled up into a ball so it can surround you while wearing it.

• Alex sets the groceries down and watches you for a little longer before he joins you and the two of you end up snuggled together.

• "That jacket looks better on you than it ever has on me."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Erik Jan Hanussen

• Now it wasn't his signature fur coat you went for, but the monocle.

• The monocle Erik seemed to keep in the most pristine condition just like everything else around him. It fascinated you and brought plenty of amusement watching him fiddle with it throughout the day.

• And here you were now looking at the monocle resting on his desk while Erik had left the study to retrieve a book.

• When he returned he found you looking into a handheld mirror while holding the monocle carefully to one of your eyes.

• Erik wasn't upset by it. He was actually more amused than anything.

• All he could do was chuckle as he crossed the threshold back into the room and say with a voice light and warm, "Meine Maus (My Mouse), what have you found?"

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Helmut Zemo

• It was always the coat that caught your attention when it came to his fashion choices.

• When Zemo had went to his study to take a call and left the coat behind you jumped at it.

• You had felt the coat before while cuddling with him but you hadn't had a chance to actually wear it so far.

• The collar is soft and the coat smells just like him. The warm hint of spice and tobacco smoke with something that's unmistakably Helmut about it. It's warm and you can use it as a blanket if you really wanted.

• So that's the option you went with.

• Zemo came back down with an apology already on the tip of his tongue but it seemed to die off back into his throat when he spotted you.

• He watched as you laid on your side flipping through a magazine on the spacious sofa. You nuzzled into the fur and happily sighed as you adjusted it to try and completely disappear under it.

• Zemo came to sit with you. "Would you like to lay on my lap draga?" You ended up with the coat still around you as you rested your head in his lap while he played with your hair.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

István Thurzó

• Like with Erik your interest laid with an accessory rather than just a piece of clothing.

• Seeing his golden necklace on him at all times made you in turn want to wear it.

• While István was bathing you were able to fully and finally hold that necklace. You had held onto it while you two cuddled but having it not attached to István was a new sight.

• It didn't take long for you to decide to clasp it around your neck and look in the mirror of the bedroom.

• "I see you have found my necklace."

• István looked in the mirror from behind you while he wrapped his arms around your waist.

• He thought it looked wonderful on you and expressed such with a bombardment of kisses to your neck, including kissing where the necklace met your skin with worshipful admiration.
