Ach Menno... Per tat mir so leid! Er war schon vor dem Spiel merklich angespannt, hat sogar Chris im Taxi ein bißchen angepampt. Es hätte ihm sooo viel bedeutet, wenn Arsenal es geschafft hätte! Chris und Jochen haben richtig mitgelitten, Chris hat fast gar nicht gefrotzelt, sondern ganz liebe Worte gefunden. Per war definitiv völlig fertig am Schluß, ich glaube, er hätte es besser verkraftet, wenn Arsenal deutlicher verloren hätte.

Er wollte jedenfalls in den Arm genommen werden, und das macht der Chris doch glatt :-)

Und es gab von Jochen den Auftrag, Chris muß Per wieder aufbauen bis heute abend, dann müssen sie das Spiel Deutschland-Finnland kommentieren. Chris war sehr zuversichtlich, daß er das schafft. Nein, ich grinse nicht dreckig, wieso?? 😇

Hach, ich liebe diese beiden...

Edit: Ich weiß nicht wieso, aber die Verlinkung direkt zum Reel ist fucked. Aber über das Profil von Jochen Breyer findet man das Video.

So it's been 84 years since I stumbled back into the #per mertesacker tag here on tumblr and... Considering how I used to do that on a daily basis for years, I was hit by a wave of melancholic nostalgia. I went back to my external hardrive to check all my football related stuff - match line-ups, call-ups, analysis, hundreds of pictures... And, of course, a huuuuuge list of fanfics. I can't grasp how all of that seems to have become a glimpse of a memory, instead of being a constant presence in my life anymore.

I also feel like I've lost huge chunks of my vocabulary along the way, but that is a different story.

I used to write SO much RPF - and RPS as well. With Per being my favourite and as much of a touchy-feely person as he has always been, looking at his tag, seeing the Merteskramer squad still thriving feels a bit surreal. Considering how underrated he was for such a long time - both on club and international level, despite him always having had committed fans. But I'm still so happy and thankful for how things have developed for him ever since 2014.

But back to RPS, I mean... My url is based on how Friedesacker had completely drawn me in and taken over my life back in 2010. I then also fell in love with Mertedes around 2012. I have so many fics, so many h/c or fluff stories about both ships and all three together from back in the day. Then I thoroughly fell in love with Perdolski post 2014 and... Whenever Per gets to interact with either of these three these days, Arne, Benedikt or Lukas, as rarely as it happens - I can still feel the connection, his fondness for each of those he shared history with. Even though meeting the latter at his farewell match felt a bit like a divorced couple reuniting after some time, but STILL.

And yet... There is something so captivating and alluring about his bond with Chris and it almost makes me feel bitter that I'm currently just an occasional lurker. Because as someone who liked the three combinations above as absolute rarepairs, with barely any interaction back then, the Merteskramer "fandom" is eating WELL - because it has amazingly talented artists and writers, it's insane how great it all is.

Fandom grandma just wanted to leave this here with a tear in her eye and the hope that the spark may return to her one day. Because this bromance - platonic or romantic alike - is something special worth cherishing.
