This is how much motivation I have left to study for my finals

Great news! Let's see if more broadcasters agree on this!

Swedish people watching the rest of the world

[suspiciouslandlady]

What I find extremely hilarious right now is how Sweden can’t accept that people aren’t focusing on them. How Finland isn’t just crying in the shadow of Sweden. How Finland is celebrating Käärijä even if he didn’t bring the trophy home. They don’t want to accept why we are celebrating. Swedish media is trashing Finland right now harshly and so does Swedes in media. Hell, even Swedish ice hockey coach made some stupid comments to Finnish ice hockey team. 

But why are Finns celebrating like we won?

We are celebrating because for the first time in ages THE WHOLE WORLD sees us as our own and not the shadow of Sweden. Käärijä made the world acknowledge us! Point us on the map! And that’s something that rarely happens. 

Sweden is acting like the bitter big brother who doesn’t accept that someone is paying attention to little brother Finland instead of them.

And that’s beautiful.

Post Eurovision Depression has never hit me this hard

[quaxslay]

The thing that makes me sad about the Eurovision results is that Loreen’s victory lacks everything that makes a Eurovision victory great:

A lesser known artist catapulted into stardom? She’s been internationally known for years.

Their country getting a chance to host after never/rarely doing so before? Sweden’s had it 6 times already.

An underdog taking the crown by being an audience pleaser? She was the bookies’ favourite from the start.

Eurovision being one of the biggest, most exciting things they’ve ever done? She’s done it all before.

None of these things are personally Loreen’s fault, and I actually feel bad for her that this win will be remembered as one that the public clearly wanted to give to someone else. But it does all feel extra slimy and calculated on Sweden’s part, especially given the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s Waterloo just happening to be next year. It all feels very hollow.

Imagine being a casual eurovision viewer, turning on your TV and seeing this

[coffin-bat-deactivated20250709]

It's so obvious that it was rigged towards Sweden. A previous winner (trying to bank off nostalgia) with an generic pop song (Normie bait), the jury giving them an obscene amount of votes and then constantly going on about ABBA's 50 year anniversary of them winning (very convenient for marketing).

Käärijä should DEFINITELY be elevated to Eurovision royalty

Finland is the winner in my heart. You can't change my mind

The irony of talking about peace and the war in Ukraine while giving Israel your 12 points.
