Rhi you absolutely must name this ficlet and post it at NL! LOL, I loved it and as far as I'm concerned this will be canon if ever the boys refer to themselves as Chrolli again ;D May I suggest a name for this gem? How about Naming Rights or Naming Night or Naming Fight or... What's in a Name? or A Rise by Any Other Name...okay, okay, I'll stop now, I promise.

Rhi said:I didn't didn't catch the Chrolli self reference, glad you pointed that out and I agree with your take. I'm also happy that some of you enjoyed the vlog today too, I was beginning to think maybe I had watched something from an AU

I guess I'm in the mood for TGIF silliness and fun, but I loved today's vlog! PS: 'Teh Boys' could be singing 'A Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall' and I'd watch it with a smile plastered on my face

OK, when I watched Judith with her 'date' today, I had a feeling that I'd seen him before. I think this is the same guy 'Mark' that Olli met up with the night before Christian's big fight. Here's the YT clip: Heh, even if I'm wrong at least you get to rewatch that amazing episode ;D

Thanks final81I can only translate with teh babel fishy: "How can we make a question ... On the keys, ready to go! The first time since the existence of forbidden love are now all the fans of the series the opportunity to present their questions to the makers of VL to. Would you have always know how the directors to prepare their work how the stories are created, who will decide on the decoration and how many people actually do on the set? What questions about the series, its creators and their emergence on the burn you soul? DasErste.de collects all the curious questions. The answers are here of course soon - and also VL on the new DVD to see. Simple name, city and question until 11 August in this form and send it."Do you think they will accept questions in English only Do you really think it's possible we might get a Chrolli DVD? Oh be still my heart ;D

I am rewatching the whole Ollian sotry from the beginning... for the 4th or so time. ;D When watching I really ponder, wether Christian was always just a selfhating gay man in denial, or if he is straight and discovered he had a kink for Oliver or men in general, i.e discovered something new about his sexuality - that he is bisexual or pansexual (falls in love with people, not genders). I know he says he's "schwul", but I dislike that the susbject has never been discussed on the show.... and I know you all dislike labels - but in all honesty, what is YOUR take on it?? LOL ;D I've been doing the same thing this week. I guess that's what we Chrolli addicts are forced to do on slow story line weeks. I'm just up to Axel bashing poor Olli.......... To answer your question: I think they pretty much have always presented Christian as having simply fallen in love with another human being , but one that just happens to be of the same sex. I can't recall indications visually or in dialogue that have mentioned in any way that Christian has ever found himself attracted to any other men. The only exception to that is when David walked out of the flatshare bathroom wearing only a towel and Olli humorously pushed Christian's mouth shut. I think Christian's reaction was more about being shocked that a stranger was in the house, know what I mean? So I guess, imo Christian would be a pansexual. I too would love to see some discussion about this on the show or maybe on the vlog. ETA: Ummm, nevermind...bows head sheepishly

Kat: I thought they looked familiar. I was like is it the same guy that did the Fairy Story? Cute! I've said it before but man they have been together a long time. I hope Chrolli stay together that long (I know we won't get to see that because VL will probably end by then maybe? but it is nice to dream) cj4, I hope we get to watch Chrolli for few more years anyway, and when the inevitable end of their story happens I also hope they'll be allowed to ride off into the sunset together so we can imagine them having 30+ years of happiness too

Since it is a non Chrolli day , take a minute or two to enjoy this lovely video that was dedicated to Christian & Olli and their fans. I was given permission by the author to post it here: "A link to GoDT would be fine, if it will help people to see that Chrolli/Ollian isn't just a dream." Over Thirty Years of Love - Dedicated to Ollian FansIn case you missed his other 2 videos when I linked to them a while back on the fanart page here they are: The Big Brown Bear: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3E3D87B3A0A37092www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3E3D87B3A0A37092Enjoy, and thanks Carlo & Bear

I just saw the pics and now I have decided that I am not coming on the spoiler boards or discussion anymore I am just going to watch it develop on it's own. First Miriam now Rebecca!!!! WTF?! cj4 I'm with you sweetie In just the few months I have read this board, there have a number of 'red herrings' causing unnecessary angst and in this case I am choosing to believe that this 'Rebecca kissing Olli' is just another one of them. I will no longer read the the Spoilers or this Spoiler Thread! What will be, will be as far as the Chrolli story is played out BUT, if they break up Chrolli over Rebecca (wtf? indeed) I plan to take back every compliment I ever bestowed upon the VL writing team!

Zam wrote:Hey Zam, I don't think that was 'semi snarky'at all, imo I think it's pretty much right on the money. I was finally able to watch this weeks vlog tonight and my initial reaction was exactly that this was Olli taking an opportunity to put the screws to Christian for his recent ventures into what would be unacceptable behavior in any relationship..... As understandable as Christian's total spiral into conscious denial of his illness and subsequent depression are to sympathize with, he has done some things that are not okay under any circumstances: leaving for the woods and not letting his partner know where he was, getting ridiculously drunk with his brother's and partner's customers, giving away their liquor (2 cases of vodka? holy hell , encouraging their employee to drink on the job and of course kissing that employee, not only once but twice! That's an awful lot of forgiveness to dish up in a week's time for anyone. Although the vlog was as usual couched in humor and their ever present adorable selves, I sensed a real undercurrent of trouble in paradise. I hope I'm not projecting too much here, but I find the ever shifting power dynamics of this relationship really fascinating and can't wait to see how this plays out.

Great discussion everyone! You have helped this fledgling writer more than you know. I've been beating myself up because I guess I wanted my next ficlet(a bookend piece to Public Places) to be better than my first effort and have hamstrung myself in the process. I write a couple of paragraphs and then go back and rewrite and edit until I make myself crazy and then just stop writing in frustration. I've been stuck for a couple of weeks but for some reason I decided last night to quit with the compulsive self editing and just write and damned if it didn't work! I also need to thank those of you who have encouraged me but also delivered a couple of well placed kick-in-the pants to just 'write already' Oh and Zam I will never again hear 'Raining Men' without a smile on my face. ;D I think I will now indulge myself and head back to NL to catch up on my reading

And just when you think Jo and Thore have hit a high with their acting, you get scenes like today. You felt and believed every word that came out of Christian's mouth. The body language and eye contact between Jo and Thore to make each scene seem credible and real is truly amazing to watch. And that bedroom scene was hot, sexy and just down right beautiful. Olli and Christian are so frigging gorgeous together it's ridiculous. Christian's lust for Olli...Olli's concern...and then Christian's declaration of love was just one beautiful moment. Very good you wrote, I do not have anything to supplement. Christian was in this episode absolutely brilliant. I agree Thore was brilliant, but Jo's expressiveness today was a joy to watch and the smile on his face when he was looking up from the bed, well , words fail..... I watched their scenes today several times and each time I become simply more enchanted by them both. I don't know what we did to deserve such rewards but as soon as I figure it out I'll let you all know because we'll want to keep doing it ;D
