"And there was only one bed (but they refused to share it)" sounds very intriguing!!

(wips)

okay so this one actually has a pretty good story behind it! vs most wips where it's just like, I randomly got the idea, didn't have the self control to not start it, and then didn't finish it.

I got the original idea from a story my best friend told me before we were best friends. we were in college in a group of people, and talking about how teenage boys can be incredibly insecure about being perceived as gay. and she said that once on an overnight school trip, one of her male classmates slept in a bathtub rather than share a bed with another boy.

and mentally I was like that's actually such a panicked gay teenage move, I might write a fic about that, and at the time phan was the only ship I wrote for so I started writing a tatinof era story with a "hotel mixup" and Only One Bed. I don't remember if I mentioned it to her at the time, but I did consider mentioning it- everyone in that group knew that I wrote fic but didn't know for what fandoms, and it's not like it would be easy to find the fic just by knowing the story it was based on. and what are the odds of someone who could recognize the story actually reading the fic, right? my shit is NOT that popular and with 99% probability no one in this group would even put in the right tags to stumble across it.

and of course years later it turns out SHE COULD HAVE. she watches dan and phil, she ships phan, she occasionally read phanfic (though through the grace of god we never interacted before actually swapping ao3 usernames).

I still think about finishing it sometimes (which is why it's still in my WIP folder) but it's so old that the writing all feels off and most of it I'd probably want to just rewrite. And also it's hard for me to write a tatinof era au where they aren't together, lol, it feels SO out of character. the fic could have a really funny author's note, though, so I won't rule out finishing it.

I'm on a constant quest for new music, so may I ask you for some recommendations for german punk rock songs (or anything else as well)?

Heyy, aah yes absolutely, you're at the right address (and I'm so so so sorry in advance 😂❤️)

A note; while all of these are absolutely far-left/anarchist bands, spotify is a bitch and lumps stuff together quite randomly, so if/when you artist hop, especially for German punk, it sometimes gives you suggestions that veer into "grauzone" (bands sucking up to right-leaning crowds) or downright far-right groups. If you don't have experience with dogwhistles in music or otherwise, especially in punk, metal, and hardcore genres, I suggest checking this list of far-right and right-leaning bands from Germany every once in a while! <3 )
