Palermo, Nairobi, and Coffee ☕

La casa de papel valentines card

I'm having a bit too much for making these lmao 😭

Part 1

Palermo te amo con mi vida

It's this man's birthday!! He's turning 48 today

Well happy birthday to him :)

i hate berlermo.

okay, HEAR ME OUT FIRST!! do i hate the ship? yes. absolutely. does that stop me thinking about them every second of the day? no. i am in so much pain help me.

want to start with talking about berlin. he is a straight man. martín was NOT his bisexual awakening or something. he. is. a. straight. man. they could not work and berlin made that very clear on multiple occassions. he is also an egomaniac. he has so many disorders, and while i dont want to portray him as some heartless monster (because he isn't!! he cares about himself but that doesn't mean he doesnt care about others too!), i find it hard to believe he didn't keep palermo around to mess with him.

the kiss scene between andrés and martín is the root of a large majority of martíns issues. we see throughout the series that palermo is withdraw from his emotions and love, he has attatchment issues, and he has not moved on from berlin even two years later. he hasnt let himself recover from his death, and his loss of a hopeless, unobtainable love. when berlin kissed him, they both knew that would be the last they saw of eachother. they both knew berlin was willing to let himself die (both because of his illness and his love for his brother) during the heist. it left palermo with false hope, that maybe something could have come from it. but there never could have! that is their last interaction, and that is the last thought he leaves with martín. i wholly believe berlin was fully aware what that would do to him, and left with that as a little "you won't be forgetting me :)" because everything with berlin is Him Him Him. without the kiss, martín would have been able to heal so much quicker and easier.

palermo doesn't start to heal until two years later, when he gets involved in the bank heist. up until that point he blames sergio for the "love of his life"s death, but slowly comes to realise that this group of people that berlin died for are the most caring people. he begins to understand it. they are hurt, they have losed loved ones too, they are risking everything for a loved one. they are so much like him. does he make mistakes? YES! so does everyone in the group, but it is in his nature to stir trouble when he doesn't get his way. did his actions have awful consequences because of that? unfortunately, yes! but he regrets them. he is forgiven, even by those he probably shouldn't be forgiven by!

by the end martín is so much more in touch with his emotions, he realises that he doesnt have to settle for unobtainable love, and he can be loved unconditionally. he went into the bank heist for berlin, but came out of it with so much more. palermo would not have been in the place he was in by the end of it if andrés was still around.

money heist was so refreshing to watch as a queer person. queer relationships were not perfect. i understand the appeal of berlermo, i really do, but they are so unhealthy. i understand the need to cling onto any sort of gay rep because its so scarse in mainstream media, but there is so many queer stories in this show, and none of them are appreciated as much as berlermo, which i find kinda weird!! why is a relationship with a gay man and a straight man more adored than helsinki and palermo? two gay men who helped eachother through SO MUCH! what about the beautiful platonic soulmate relationship between helsinki and nairobi? what about the amazing transwoman, who was such a genuine representation of some trans struggles? please stop prioritising the cishet in queer stories. berlin is so important to so many characters, especially martín, but him as a love interest to martín shouldn't be the main focus in his story, because his whole arc was getting over him and moving on. in reality, he made martín the most unhappiest he had ever been.

the fact that we never got a palsinki kiss…………… appalling to say the least

Looks like they're going to give us news about the Berlin spin-off on 24th September!

"Across the globe - since the dawn of time and thought and reason - humanity had been trying to comprehend this tangible incarnation of destiny. There was much that humanity did not yet understand. Perhaps they were not meant to.

But they did know this: they knew that at the beating heart of each growing city, there was a grove of trees unlike any on the earth. It required neither water nor nourishment nor sunlight - sustained by the vitality of the city's people.

And from the fibers of those hallowed trees, paper gliders were brought to life."

In a world where special paper planes could fly towards one's soulmate no matter where they were on earth, this was the story of Andrés and Martín - an art student who wished for his very own glider, and an engineering student who didn't dare hope for a soulmate.

Hi everyone! This is my first humble contribution to the Berlermo fandom!! I really hope it turned out alright, and I hope you all enjoy!! 😄

Happy... late? Halloween :)

Have this silly little drawing I made for @berlermo-spooktober. I am having issues with the colouring (due to brush selection, oops; in my defence i am new to digital art lol) so the coloured version will appear on here and on AO3 (where I also posted it) at some point, *I hope*.

want to be in italy with the love of my life martín berrote. just the two of us against the world whilst we travel, live in a small apartment, cook together, slow dance at every chance we get, read books together, lay in bed on lousy afternoons, have deep conversations at 2 am on our lil balcony that overlooks the entire city, have cute dates in museums, spend evenings watching the sunset, do rebellious shit and run away hand into hand, love eachother to the end of the world. TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR???
