Bastian Schweinsteiger > world

[exsequar]

Usually when I'm this obsessed with a fandom I can't stop posting about it! Since I have my Twitter outlet (I GOT PUT IN TWITTER JAIL FOR TWEETING TOO MUCH ABOUT THE GERMANY-BELGIUM GAME YESTERDAY LMAO) I feel like I get enough squee out there, BUT I need to have my love for one Bastian Schweinsteiger on the public record. :D I just threw together a picspam for an ontd_football post in roughly five minutes, so I'm just gonna slap it up over here so I can come back and chinhands at it from time to time. I'm trying not to stress about making it too comprehensive because I have literally 450 PICTURES OF THIS MAN on my computer, so I'm just letting it stand as is. SIIIIGH BASTIANO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.


So for starters, BASTIAN IS MY MOST FAVORITE AND MAKES MY HEART FLUTTER WHENEVER HE'S SO MUCH AS MENTIONED. Don't get me started on when he's a BAMF on the field - I'm practically nonfunctional. *____*

In all seriousness, I'm so thrilled and proud of this boy - from sexy, kind of hilarious bleach-blond rebel to mature, dignified, charismatic leader. He just throws his whole self, heart and soul, into the game of football and it really shows - both in his joy in victory and his utter, crushing despair at defeat. When I was watching Germany-Spain (er, WC variety) and knew they were going to lose, I was most scared of seeing Bastian sad, because I knew it would tear my heart out and stomp on it. He didn't disappoint. :( BUT BACK TO HAPPY THINGS, it's so clear that everyone around him adores him, and that's one of the sexiest characteristics a man can have, imo, especially since it's entirely natural and he has no ego about it. He's just a people magnet! Even refs love him. :) I love how good he is to his teammates, how he loves to smile and laugh and tease but also knows how to get down to business. I love his habit of rocketing goals in from outside the box (particularly against Portugal!), and I love how he dribbles. (THAT'S RIGHT.) I love how he tapes his wrists to support them, and matches the tape color to his jersey. I love his everything, pretty much.

Now let's take a look at this god among men, shall we?


His love for scarves is so cute I can't EVEN. He's a widdle hipster!


So much amazing in one image. :D Sexy Audi! Hilarious lederhosen! Tasty beer! Awesome Bayern! BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER!! :D


My favorite Basti macro. :D Oh A Knight's Tale, you are so wonderful, if bittersweet now. :(


Germany didn't have too much trouble with the Jabulani now did they?! :D


Nnf.


NNNNNFGHHH. I thank all the powers that be for Germany's sponsorship by Strenesse EVERY DAY.


His face has so much *character*. Siiigh.


Name of this file: perfect flawless etc. Pretty much.


HOMMMMGGG. Some day I want to do a picspam that's just Basti and his gorgeous girlfriend Sarah, because LOOK AT THEM. LOOK. NOW PLEASE MAKE BBS OKAY??


Ahahahaha WHAT ARE YOU EVEN.


Nrrgh.


N'AWWWW. His smile! His model-lounging pose! ARNE FRIEDRICH!!!! <333


Fucking BAMF. God I love the black kits.


GLASSES. HOODIE. I feel like when cameras aren't on him he's just 100% hipster, and we only get little glimpses. I WANT MORE GLIMPSES.


dsflksjlsfd yeah I don't even.


FUCK YEAH MANNSCHAFT!


dflkjsf Basti and der kapitän!! They are so cute and precious and happy and this hug makes me happy right down to my toes.


O HAI THERE. *nom nom nom nom*


BEAUTIFUL TWINSIES. Perhaps my favorite photo from the World Cup, siiiigh.


\o/ \o/ \o/!!

Fucking hell I love him. :')

LOVELY!!!!!
nice pics!

[strikesoftly.livejournal.com]

BASTI! ♥

[strikesoftly.livejournal.com]

Wait, that's a sad icon. Have some Schweinski instead.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

That's not a sad icon, it's a BAMF one! He's frowning in concentration! That's the Uruguay game (you can tell cause he's wet :D) and they won that one! \o/ (though I suppose it was post-heart-crushing defeat...... whatevs whatevs) IN CONCLUSION ALL BASTIAN ICONS ARE WELCOME. SCHWEINSKI TOO <33333

[strikesoftly.livejournal.com]

Well, in that case, HAVE THIS ICON TOO! Poldi's face, heeeee. ♥

[hazel-belle.livejournal.com]

I. LOVE. THIS. POST.


we need more Schweinsteiger in our life. Die Mannschaft should play a friendly against the US MNT. I'd pay so much money to see it....

[novafairy.livejournal.com]

I thank all the powers that be for Germany's sponsorship by Strenesse EVERY DAY.
:D :D Same here. I guess the "Thank you" also has to go to Klinsmann because when I remember correctly he brought Strenesse to the NT. Or maybe it was Bierhoff, then. *shrugs* Or whoever from the Klinsmann-era because before he was coach, the boys had to wear stuff like that:


Ew. :p

[fandomonymous.livejournal.com]

Basti. Strenesse. Lederhosen. Audi. Bayern. *NOMMING FOREVER*

I don't think I'll regret giving you Basti at wethechampions now, even though it means my list looks like I'm a Chelski more than a Bayern-lass, which is kind of false. I'm positive you'll take care of him! ;) I figure you having him and Drogba in exchange for me having Lahm and Duckie is pretty fair, as it goes, especially with my ungodly defense bias. XD I'm looking forward to your team picspam!

And my favorite Basti macro, for your time:

[fandomonymous.livejournal.com]

In its defense, you can see Micha werqing it in the back.

But the Strenesse is INFINTELY more ngh-worthy. Black-red-gold lapel stars >>>>>>>> EVERYTHING.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Haha, I do appreciate your generosity dear. As Basti goes, so goes my heart, so I would have been beyond crushed to not have him on my team. Irrational? Yes. True anyway? You betcha! I promise I will cuddle and love him until he says stop... and then I'll keep doing it anyway. :D

LOL POLDI YOUR DELIGHTED SMILE. THAT'S HOW I'D LOOK TOO. THE BEST PART IS IT'S *TRUE*.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Oh dear GOD. *RUNS AWAAAAAY* Thank you Klinsy-and-co, THANK YOU for rescuing our boys from that bland hell!!

[onnaboat.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU AND BASTI AND THE LITTLE BIT OF SCHWEINSKI AT THE END &HEARTS;

[onnaboat.livejournal.com]

failed with the ♥ OH WELL

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

IT'S OKAY I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME EVEN WITHOUT HEARTS MADE OF PIXELS. I LOFF YOU TOOOO <33

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Mine toooo.

Oh my gosh your icon. Basti and Mark are just TOO CUTE. <3

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I WOULD PAY FAR TOO MUCH MONEY TO SEE THAT HOMG. I really hope it happens though...

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I'm glad you concur! :D

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[hazel-belle.livejournal.com]

I know.... and yes yes yes it should

[anamie-me.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!!! It's so awesome that you can identify the GAME based on his level of wetness in the picture.. SO AWESOME. <3

[paletea.livejournal.com]

Cor blimey, he's a bit of alright! And Friedrich is... well. I need to see more of him. <3

ARNE FRIEDRICH PART ONE

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Isn't he just?? Does it start to make sense why this fandom has swept me off my feet and absconded with me to Bavaria? *g* He is just - such a MAN, nnngh. ♥

Oh darling, YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND. Spontaneous Arne Friedrich spam! A little background: Arne's nickname in fandom is THE HUG MONSTER. This is obviously because he REALLY likes to give hugs! Full body, super duper happy hugs. It's my favorite thing in the world. :') He's a central defender and really helped to hold things down in the back during the WC, like a bamf. He's one of the older members of the German national team - 32? - and will not be playing in another World Cup, which makes me so intensely sad I cannot even tell you. But he is an absolute sweetheart of a man, he loves to laugh and he loves his team. I love Arne Friedrich and you should too. :D


Oh, did I mention he's STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS? *___*


HUGS! SO MANY HUGS!


This is how he hugs his kapitän! My favorite little munchkin omg.





And this is how he REALLY hugs his kapitän. Eeeee!


And this is how he hugs his defense/goalie. :DDD


Arne and Per are the SWEETEST little pair in the defense, and this is one of my favorite hugs in the whole World Cup.





SIIIIIGH.

ARNE FRIEDRICH PART TWO

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

So one of my favorite moments in the WC was when ARNE SCORED A GOAL!!!!! :O It was the third against mothertruckin ARGENTINA, and it was his FIRST INTERNATIONAL GOAL. My beautiful bb! He was SO happy, and his team was SO HAPPY FOR HIM. :')


Victorious!


Diving!


WE LOVE OUR ARNE!


SO WE MANPILE ON HIM!


In action. :DDD


I really love this bamf.


Aw shucks! he says. But no really - I love you Prinze Arne. :D


And one more absolute gem - in Euro 2008, he interviewed Philipp Lahm and their giggling is my favorite EVER.



Translation from 1:08! (aka when they start giggling)

Arne: Recently I saw something on television. In fact that as a young lad (Note: “Bub” is a typical Bavarian phrase) you were very shy and that you had to play a tree in a school’s play. Is that correct?
Philipp: Those are rumours. I don’t want to comment on those.
Arne: I’ve got them from a reliable source. Your mother told me about it. You don’t want to say anything about it?
Philipp: No comment.
Arne: How is it going with table tennis?
Philipp: No comment.
Arne: Alright! Thank you for this great interview. Keep it up, yes?
Philipp: Likewise.


.......AND THERE IS MORE ARNE FRIEDRICH FOR YOU. I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHH. :'))))

[hernameislara.livejournal.com]

Why does he have to be so damn good looking, im so obsessed i need help lmao <333
beautiful pic spam!

[lady-teazle.livejournal.com]

Sweet Loving Jesus.... how did I miss this horror the 1st time I looked at this post???? Ack! The only good thing about it is Rudi Voller, bringing back some lovely memories for me. :D

[besanamo.livejournal.com]

Late seeing this but it's too lovely not to post! Basti ist just amazing. And there's lots of added Arne in the comments as well. ♥

[nefertitii.livejournal.com]

this was awesome..

oh and btw, he tapes his wrists bc hes wearing bracelets.
i think..
yea im pretty

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

Actually he does it to provide support in case he falls on them. You can't see a lump under them for the bracelets, and anyway it would destroy the bracelets to keep putting heavy medical tape on them all the time.

[grrliz.livejournal.com]

I keep accidentally ending up at your picspams... and by accident I clearly mean FATE because they are FABULOUS.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I mean, it's Bastian, it's hard to go wrong. ;) I'm curious, how do you keep ending up here? Do people link to my spams? Hee.

As I mentioned in my comment at your blog, maybe it IS fate bringing us back together after many years of wandering through different fandoms!

[grrliz.livejournal.com]

I keep doing random searches for all things Bastian that lead me back here; I think this time I clicked on a picture on Tumblr somewhere.
