Das Beste für mein Kind, Heimatliebe, Tod einer Journalistin, Monstermutter, Hildes Erbe, Abgrund

Three episodes, and no backstory. Yet, there's so many details, like in Hildes Erbe, when Vincent hears a sound in the victim's apartment, so something wrong is happening. His first reflex is to put the ring inside his t-shirt, safe.

Why the mystery around his past when they keep showing us how this ring is everything to him?...

So here is second of my Polizeiruf 110 (Świecko) papertoys: Vincent Ross as played by André Kaczmarczyk.

Design is based on his appearance in episode “Hildes Erbe” (thank god for those shorts... I wouldn't be able to make a G-rated version of this papertoy otherwise)

I want Vincent Ross to dress the way he did in the first episode.

you and me both, dearest anon. i also miss the kilt and the shirts and the leather jacket and the shorts. hildes erbe will always have a special place in my heart for various reasons, vincent's outfits being one of them. and it all went a bit downhill from there imho (again, for various reasons haha). well, at least his hair looks quite pretty in the new pics <3

watching the hildes erbe episode and my jaw is on the fucking floor. it's like a revelation after a revelation.

To my knowledge

I am delighted every time you talk about hildes erbe...... finally someone on who loves hildes erbe the correct amount (a fuckton)

i'm definitely not the only hildes erbe enthusiast around here but im glad to hear!! i can't help it this episode has been refusing to pay rent in my head for the last however many months it's so. it's so.

hello! :D I’ve been talking about the Polizeiruf 110 episode “Hildes Erbe” so much that some of my friends from other countries now want to watch it too, so I made English subtitles!

If you’d like to watch this episode with English subtitles too, or know someone who would, send me an ask and I’ll send you a link.

Sorry I just see your Polizeiruf stuff and think of you from time to time, like do you speak any German? How did you get into it?? How are you holding up? Can you read the German fics in Google translate or something at least 😟

Ah, thanks for thinking of me ^^ This is definitely a long story so buckle up.

For context, I speak very little German (beginner level/A1). I've always been keen on learning it but I've never had the time to get farther than A1. Anyways, I saw some German mutuals recently lose their mind over the recent Tatort Saarbrücken episode, so my interest was peaked in German crime shows. Then a Slack conversation popped up about Tatort and Polizeiruf 110, where some funny comparisons were made (Is the Doctor Who of Germany a local old people crime show? apparently yes). The convo mainly focused on Tatort when @papercutdoctor brought up the new Polizeiruf pair: Kommissars Sleep Deprived and Gender Frodo.

After this convo I made two goals:

Get the English subs for Tatort Saarbrücken

Write a crack fic about Gender Frodo throwing the ring into Mount Doom

@papercutdoctor mentioned that she was working on subs from that latest episode, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask for them. Maybe I would get around to watching them after Tatort Saarbrücken. I didn't need them for the crack fic, but it would be nice. I didn't expect them to be done quickly, but ofc, she finished the English subs for Hildes Erbe two days after that convo. I, being my usual procrastinator self, still hadn't even asked for the Tatort subs. It actually took me twelve days to get around to watching it, but hoo boy once I did, there was no going back.

I wrote my fist P110 fic within three days of watching because they did in fact, drive me that insane. I am very unwell (in a good way) because they are definitely one of my favourite dynamic types. However, I will admit I am suffering a little. I've been able to discuss with both papercutdoctor and another friend so I'm not entirely alone, but I am jealous of the Discord that I've heard about. I've been reading fics through Google Translate but I'm very much aware of the failings of GT due to learning other languages in school. Absolutely fascinated by "hätte, hätte, Fahrradkette" but reading it in a GTranslated fic just gets you "would have, would have, bicycle chain" lmao. Either way A1 level German is not that conducive to conducting conversations, reading fic or understanding prior episodes about your blorbos. I've kind of settled for making my own content (the reductress post, second fic) and I've received lovely comments on both, so I'm pretty happy about that :'D

I'd love to discuss with everyone, even if we have to meet in the middle a little heh. I'm always open to messages here on Tumblr (or if you want to use Tumblr to ask for my Discord I'm okay with that too lol). And yes, I still haven't watched Tatort but tbh my brain is so filled to the brim with Adam and Vincent that I don't think there's space for Tatort XD (also there's still no subs for the third ep). I've picked up Nicos Weg and Duolingo again, but with work and other things we'll see how much better I can get at German in time for the next ep ^^

Adam betritt das Obdachlosen-Wohnheim.

Mann am Empfang: Wir sind voll!

Sorry for all the 4 gegen Z stuff. I watched that Polizeiruf 110 episode (Hildes Erbe) and this was the result from it 🙈

Adam in the early episodes was so different. The earliest I could find was Das Beste für mein Kind (2017, 4th episode with him) and wow. It's like an entirely different character, I'm impressed.

I really need to find all his episodes to see how it all went down. In Hildes Erbe, first episode I saw with Adam, he's already so burned out with his pills as only fuel. You can see some remnants of his past self but he changed so much...

Also, Wiktor! I really like him, it's great to see him and the rest of the team too.

You can't make Tatort papercraft and ignore Polizeiruf 110...

So here is first of my Polizeiruf 110 (Świecko) papertoy: Adam Raczek as played by Lucas Gregorowicz.

Design is based on his appearance in episode “Hildes Erbe”.

Get to know me

I was tagged by @katistrophe

three ships: those two from my Sunday evening crime show and those other two from my other Sunday evening crime show and...idk...can I steal your joke and say HMS Temeraire?

first ever ship: Also not much of a shipper, I just roll with whatever comes along. I think the first ship I actively searched for fivcwas Hotch/Prentiss on CM

last song: it's the weekend so I switched from Sabaton's The Last Stand on loop to Versengold's Was Kost die Welt on loop

last film: Hedda. Which I watched because it sounded vaguely interesting and had Wanja Mues in it. It turned out to be a film that had Wanja Mues in it

currently reading: Crime and Punishment as audiobook but I have to check out the parts from the library separately because the Onleihe app is a nightmare and the third one is currently not available so in the meantime I started Mark Steel's Who do I think I am. As paperbook I'm reading The Dublin Railway Murder a historical true crime, provided by a friend who knows me very well

currently rewatching: Well, currently I am watching a new episode of Die Chefin because I was too lazy to turn the TV off after the new episode of Stralsund. The last thing I rewatched was...Hilde's Erbe, the Polizeiruf episode from Monday because...duh

currently consuming: Teesus, provided by a different friend who knows me very well

currently craving: A five-week holiday

Tagging @kathastrophen & @grumpyfaceurn

opinions on the gnc copaganda episode (previously below a cut, now out in the open because i’m fine with this being reblogged now):

look, i don't want to start shit but i am genderqueer and i have opinions and don't trust german TV. so far it just feels like they used 'genderfluid' to mean gender-nonconforming. the fact that vincent hasn't self-defined as any gender is the one thing giving me hope that they might do something with this in future episodes. vincent is being gendered male by other characters throughout hildes erbe and there's never any contradiction and/or expansion of that reading. i want more. they promote the role as genderfluid, but the average cis viewer can comfortably categorize vincent as a man in a skirt and eyeliner. i know, i know, baby steps... but grrrr. i'm not satisfied.
