J’aimerais apporter mon témoignage personnel concernant Till Lindemann, en réponse aux accusations qui circulent depuis un moment.

J’ai eu l’occasion de rencontrer Till, notamment en participant au tournage de son clip Meine Welt. C’est une personne très respectueuse, à l’opposé de l’image que certains veulent donner de lui. Lors de ce tournage, qui avait lieu le jour de la Journée de la Femme, Till nous a offert à chacune un bouquet de roses pour nous remercier de notre présence, un geste sincère et plein de respect.

J’ai également été invité à des concerts et à des after-parties après ceux-ci, en tant que fan. Ces moments se déroulent toujours dans la bonne humeur, dans un cadre festif où l’on mange, on boit, on discute, on danse. À aucun moment Till n’a forcé qui que ce soit à faire quoi que ce soit. Il n’y a jamais eu de débordements, ni de comportements déplacés de sa part. Chacun est libre de partir quand il le souhaite, sans aucune pression.

Il est facile d’émettre des jugements sans connaître la réalité des faits. De mon expérience directe, Till est quelqu’un qui offre aux fans des opportunités de le rencontrer, de participer à des concerts et qui crée des moments de partage sincères, et qui se comporte avec respect, sans abus de pouvoir ni pression entre fans. De plus celui qui a rédiger l’article de presse est un ancien employé du Hellfest qui a été viré. Arrêtez de croire tout et n’importe quoi et laissez cet homme tranquille. Je soutiens et remercie encore une fois @till_lindemann_official et @alena_makeeva 💜🙏

I would like to share my personal testimony regarding Till Lindemann, in response to the accusations that have been circulating for some time.

I had the opportunity to meet Till, notably by participating in the filming of his music video "Meine Welt." He is a very respectful person, the opposite of the image some people want to give of him. During this filming, which took place on International Women's Day, Till gave each of us a bouquet of roses to thank us for our presence, a sincere and respectful gesture.

I have also been invited to concerts and after-parties as a fan. These events always take place in a good mood, in a festive setting where people eat, drink, chat, and dance. At no time has Till forced anyone to do anything. There has never been any excess or inappropriate behavior on his part. Everyone is free to leave whenever they want, without any pressure.

It's easy to make judgments without knowing the reality of the facts. From my direct experience, Till is someone who offers fans opportunities to meet him, to participate in concerts and who creates sincere moments of sharing, and who behaves with respect, without abuse of power or pressure between fans. Moreover, the person who wrote the press article is a former Hellfest employee who was fired. Stop believing everything and anything and leave this man alone. I support and thank once again @till_lindemann_official and @alena_makeeva 💜🙏

WIP Wednesday

And 17 Seconds

Buddie WIP | Eddie Diaz Character Study | 6x10

White light burned his eyes. An earth-rattling boom pounded against his eardrums and vanished just as quickly, leaving a high-pitched ringing in its wake. By the time his brain interpreted the agonizing sharp pain weaving across his body, it was over. He felt numb. He couldn’t even feel the force of gravity holding him on the surface of the earth, he couldn’t feel the heavy water-logged turnouts burdening his shoulders. The world snapped back into focus. Eddie plummeted to the ground, his breath tearing out of his lungs. His head bounced off the wet pavement, knocking his helmet loose. He blinked the black spots from his vision, and sputtered against the chill raindrops splattering against his face. He could hear overlapping voices yelling over the rolling thunder, the splash of feet running through puddles, the sirens of the trucks. Ignoring the painful pins and needles with a sharp exhale through his gritted teeth — because Buck was still on the ladder and Eddie couldn’t leave him hanging, Eddie would always have his back — Eddie flipped over, braced his hands on the ground and pushed himself to his knees. He snatched up his overturned helmet, pouring collected rainwater over his head as he secured the helmet in place. One moment, Eddie was climbing to his feet. Then he looked up.

Hit all the wrong and hurtful spots

So I know we have established Pat’s dad and Pran’s mom as the Bad parent^tm but you know what??? I hate Pat’s mom and Pran’s dad more......

Because when all this wrong stuff was happening the people who could stop it but do nothing about it and just stand in the side lines hit everywhere on the body.

I hope both realize and come to take back Pat and Pran back in the next episode or else there can’t be redeemed anymore.

I bet there is so much demand in the writers' bit of LiS fandom for polaroid usage and storage and maintenance knowledge and tips.

Somebody asked me for advice to help their sister who struggles with BPD (SUCH an angel wow everybody needs somebody like them) and I wanted to share what I said for anybody who may need it. This can be for you if you have BPD or for you to read and apply if somebody you love struggles with it and you need advice on how you can help them. This was too important not to share. You can of course replace her with any pronoun, I’m so sorry if it caused you dysphoria but this is for anybody and everybody who needs it!

Make sure you remind her that she is loved and cared for. Remind her that you are there for her. Let her cry when she needs to cry. Let her feel her emotions and encourage everyone around y’all to do the same. Possibly the worst feeling when in a bpd episode is being told you are overreacting or being crazy. Remind her that her feelings are valid and that you know how real they are. Above all remember that though you cannot see it it is so very real. I’m sure you know that, I’m sure you have seen how real it is by being around her. But many people don’t realize that and treat us very poorly because of it. Bpd is one of the most stigmatized mental illnesses there is and we are even regarded by therapists as being “difficult” to the point some doctors won’t even take us if they hear our diagnosis. Because they don’t want to deal with us. And that’s a horrible feeling. Please be there for her. Remember that it’s not your job to heal her but you can always be there for her and give her the support she can’t give herself. If she needs space give it to her but make sure space is what she actually wants, I know I have a tendency to push people away when I need them the most. Please be as patient as you can, it’s so extremely difficult for us. Think of it as an eternal internal dialogue that tells you nonstop that you’re a piece of shit, that nobody loves you, you’re worthless and should end your own life. It is not easy. Especially when you want to be better and do better, especially when you are ready to heal. I’ve been ready to heal for years and I can’t seem to get a grip on recovery because of the way my mind works. It’s so frustrating and difficult. I can’t tell you how much respect I have for you. I know how hard it is to love and be around somebody who has what I have. I know it’s extremely hard and frustrating and you are a beautiful kind angel soul for wanting to help her. Thank you. I wish I had a sibling like you. It’s different for everyone but if she tends to harm herself make sure she knows she can talk to you when she gets urges. Be there to listen when she just needs to vent, stay with her when you don’t think she’s safe alone. She might resist that but if she’s in a headspace where she might harm herself it’s worth it to stay with her. Try to help her to not compare herself to others her age or those around her, remind her everyone is allowed to go at their own pace and she is not any less than anyone else for doing things at the pace she is comfortable with. Encourage her to try therapy or other forms of self care or mental wellness. The right therapist can make a world of difference but like I said watch out for the stigma. Make sure she isn’t hanging around bad or toxic people, we can become very similar to those we spend time with and it’s possible that if she’s spending her time with bad influences it could effect her negatively. Include her in the conversations about her health and well-being. Don’t talk about her behind her back, don’t talk down to or about her. You shouldn’t have to feel like you are walking on eggshells around your own sister but it is very important to be cautious and think before you speak. We remember everything people say and do to us, the bad 100x more than the good. So if you lose your patience and yell at her or something just know it will effect her deeply and she won’t forget it. Like I could be in a tiny argument and get extremely upset because my mind is telling me that the other person hates me and wants nothing to do with me. Even though I know that’s irrational I can’t bring myself to believe the voice that is telling the truth, the one that says I do deserve love and goodness. Check on her on her good days especially. Just make her feel loved and valued. That is the very best thing you can do for her. But remember she ultimately has to make the decision to start healing and growing on her own, that’s not something you can do or decide for her.

Perhaps most important, SHE IS NOT A BURDEN, HER ILLNESS IS A BURDEN. And she may need to be reminded of this sometimes. It can be so hard for us to find self worth and to love ourselves. We are some of the most loving kind and compassionate people when we are treated correctly. But the curse is we can’t seem to find the same love for themselves.
