💫 Joker Out as Genshin Impact Elements: A Very Important Thread 💫
(A new thread from your resident Genshin Impact enjoyer)
Tumblr media
Bojan Cvjetićanin - Pyro 🔥
Weapon: Bow (Eros vibes!)
Passionate, warm and lively
Of course a Pyro user is HOT, as well as great in bed.
A lover and a fighter, the flickering flame and the light in the darkness who brings comfort and yet also gives his all for those he loves.
Tumblr media
Kris Guštin - Hydro 💧
Weapon: Catalyst (A very stunning one, fit for the group’s beauty)
Fair-minded, organized and regal
Both the gentle, nourishing mountain spring and the deluge.
Cautious and follows rules, yet also brave and will always choose to do the right thing, no matter what.
Tumblr media
Jan Peteh - Electro ⚡️
Weapon: Sword (Fight me, he wears a sword necklace!)
A loner, independent and intense
A force of nature, unapologetically and unabashedly himself, like a thunderstorm.
As distant, dark and mysterious as the Electro-influenced lands in Teyvat, but with a heart tucked deep within, that shines like the lightning’s glow.
Tumblr media
Jure Maček - Anemo 🪽
Weapon: Polearm (fastest weapon in the game, anyone?)
Free-spirited, playful and unpredictable
Do not underestimate him, as he is both the gentle breeze and the wild tempest.
Few things can hold him down or dampen his optimism and spirits. He always manages to bounce back and rise.
Tumblr media
Nace Jordan - Geo ☄️
Weapon: Claymore (Strongest man in Teyvat!)
Trustworthy, patient, enduring
Strength personified in every sense of the word - strong in body, heart and mind.
The person you can 100% rely on and trust; he does not go back on his promises. Do not, however, test him unless you want to suffer the wrath of the rock.
Tumblr media
Martin Jurkovič - Dendro 🌿
Weapon: Catalyst (Isn’t it obvious?)
Wise, knowledgeable and compassionate
Calm, curious and knows everything, but also knows when it’s time for action.
Levelheaded voice of reason who gives the best advice, and looks out for everyone. Like the forest, he nurtures and protects in his own gentle way.

Ona - Bojan Cvjetićanin x fem!reader
A/N: Contains swearing and self-criticism
A/N 2: This is my interpretation of "Ona", which goes parallel to "Ne Bi Smel"
A/N 3: Everything is fiction and does not depict the real people or situations
Tumblr media
I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until I was forcefully woken up by none other than Kris Guštin, who shook me with one hand while slapping me with the other. 
"Bojan! Bojan! Cvjetićanin! Wake up! You're having a bad dream again!"
I grunted, letting him know that I had already woken up so that he would stop hitting me on my face. He didn't stop, so I slapped him back until he did.
"Ei! Why'd you do that?" Kris sounded offended.
"Because you wouldn't stop!"
"Because I thought you were still asleep. Open your eyes if you woke up then."
I grunted again. I was in no mood to open my eyes, mostly because I knew they'd be still red from last night's crying session. But I was pretty sure Kris would continue slapping me if I didn't, so I eventually did.
"Shit, dude. You look like shit."
"Yeah, no shit. I know I look awful. Can you leave me on my own for a few hours?"
"Bojči, we have to go on stage in 45 minutes," Jure whispered from my left side, slowly and carefully petting my head. "We let you sleep a bit more than usual, but you have to get ready, okay?"
Jure's voice was like a lullaby in my ear, and, though I didn't want to wake up, we had an obligation towards the fans that came to see us. I had an obligation to my friends to step out there and perform. I looked like shit and I felt like shit, but I had about 40 minutes to fix all this and make it seem like I was fine.
It was part of the tour routine by now: wake up around noon, attempt to make a decent coffee for Martin and me, have Martin drive us to the studio, check the last details, have lunch, have someone from the crew pick us up and drive us to the concert location, have soundcheck, get ready, perform, gather the equipment, have something to eat, drive back home, get ready for bed, and go to sleep.
At least, that’s what the others did. I barely remember eating half of my lunch in the past few weeks or even going to sleep at a reasonable hour without having balled my eyes out before. We were on tour for the past few months, trying to establish ourselves more and more within the north ex-Yugoslavian area.
It was probably the worst time to feel such a self-loath but I deserved it after everything I did to her.
“How could you, Bojan? I loved you! I trusted you! You said you’d never hurt me like this! You said you were different! That I was different! You said what we had was special!”
Her voice was still echoing inside my mind, even after this long; a reminder of my guilt; a reminder that I was the worst person for what I did to her; for how much I hurt her.
“Joker Out, out in 5’!” Our stage manager shouted, and I had no choice but to put on a fake smile and drag myself out on the stage.
I honestly dreaded every time I had to show my face anywhere, whether that was on stage, in front of the fans, or the studio, in front of my friends. Performing was a nice distraction, though temporary, because every time we got off stage, my thoughts would turn back to her and guilt would eat me up again.
It was almost the middle of August, and we were going through a very hot summer already, but I felt such a cold and loneliness in my heart. And it was all because of me.
“I don’t want to see you ever again! Here! Take your stuff and leave! Leave and don’t you ever try to come back! I hate you, Bojan Cvjetićanin! I hate you and I don’t want to see you ever again!”
“Bojan? Bojan?” I felt someone shaking me again. I looked up to see Jan.
“Wha-? What? What’s going on?”
“The guys and I thought we’d go down by the lake to grab something to eat before we drive back to Ljubljana. Do you want to come?”
“Ehm, nah, not really. I’m pretty exhausted. I’m just gonna head back home.”
“Okay, wait here. I’ll let Kiki know so he can drive you back.”
“No need. I don’t feel so tired. I’ll drive myself. I’ll take Martin’s car.”
“Are you sure? I don’t think you’re…okay enough to drive.” Was it because I lost all of my motivation to live?
“I’m fine, Jan. Honestly. I feel okay enough to drive. It’ll help clear up my mind anyway.”
Jan sighed heavily. “You need to forget her, man. It will only cause you pain.”
I swallowed the tears and sob that were about to burst out of me. “I’ll be fine,” I mumbled before turning around and walking out of the dressing room.
.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.
The drive back home was irritatingly long, despite being only one and a half hours in actuality. I couldn’t stop thinking about her, squeezing the steering wheel so hard, I almost felt like I’d break my hands.
I tried to put on some music from a CD that was left behind and forgotten to ease my mind, but the moment the first song started playing, I stopped the CD faster than I thought I would.
It was one of her favorite songs, “Sorry” by Halsey. It was the CD mix I made her and gifted her on our 4-month anniversary. She loved music so much and I thought I’d make her a CD for her to remember me by whenever I couldn’t be with her.
I put a great effort into finding songs she loved and collecting them all in one simple CD. I went through all the songs she liked, her albums, her music history, her likes on her social media; whatever I could find related to music.
She was the first one to hear our album before its release date. She was the one I danced “Umazane Misli” with, and the one I wrote “A Sem Ti Povedal” for, among others. She was my muse, my inspiration, my love. And I fucked everything up, for just a careless, random night with a random woman.
It broke my heart when I eventually had to confess my infidelity to her, in fear of her finding out from someone else. But I knew she hurt much more than I did, as she started trembling and breaking down in tears in front of me.
I tried to hold her; to keep her close to my heart, but she only pushed me away, yelling and crying, crying and yelling. She had to push me out of her apartment, and I did not resist at all. I knew I was in the wrong here, and I needed to give her some space and time to breathe and clear her mind.
She did eventually, a few days later, when she sent me a text “We’re done. It’s over.”
I wasn’t the same man after that. It was only after I read her text that I realized the gravity of her words. Four words that pierced through my heart. A hole that’s still bleeding. A hole that will never be whole again.
She never wanted to see me again. I hurt her, so she hurt me back. She now hated me and I was sure that there was nothing I could do to win her back.
So what was I even doing now? Standing under her window, desperate, with no excuse or a word to say to her? Why was I doing this to her? Why was I doing this to myself? There was no point in standing under her apartment, waiting to get a peak of her shadow passing by the window.
But there I was, so desperate to know she was alive and doing well, despite me not being there to hug and support her. It was too late for that anyway. But my ego wouldn’t let me walk away from her. That, and the fact that I was still so painfully in love with her.
So, for the next few months, I spent every night I could waiting under her window, watching, hoping, waiting. I was hoping she would be feeling the same way as I did, but she never texted again after that last text she sent me on that awful day.
The band was progressing; we were getting more known and we were gaining more and more fans. We even presented our first album at a huge concert in Cvetličarna, which was broadcast later by RTV Slovenija.
But that was still not enough to make me forget her. If anything, it made me think more of her; how I wish she was still in the first row, giving me strength, courage, and power to give my everything on stage.
And the months passed, and I got to host and sing EMA 2022, which was a huge deal for me and the band as a result. And I had my fair share of public and private relationships in the meanwhile, but none of them were her. 
She was truly special. Every day with her was like the first time I ever saw her. And how I did everything I could to find out her favorite spots so I could “randomly” show up when she was there. And I managed to score a date with her, eventually, after months of trying to pursue her. And after a week, I asked her to be mine. Because I knew I couldn’t just let her go. I had to be with her.
And she agreed and we had a wonderful few years together until I made the biggest mistake of my life which I still regret to this day. It felt like a lot of my inspiration was lost along with her.
And then, like a spark of realization and inspiration, I thought I’d pour all my feelings and thoughts on paper. And that’s how Ona was born.
.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.
Križanke was just around the corner - a huge sold-out show where we’d finally present our newest album, Demoni. Between that and Martin’s inevitable departure from the band, we were constantly on our feet and our phones, trying to figure out what we were going to do next.
Martin was still indecisive, not knowing if Križanke would be his last concert - he kept saying he would try to find a solution and maybe delay his master’s admission, just until everything regarding the band was settled. But I knew my best friend; I knew he was anxious and scared and worried for us, but I wanted what was best for him, even if that meant we weren’t going to be playing together anymore.
And I was willing to sacrifice this part of my happiness for his happiness. After all, we wouldn’t be strangers; we’d still be close to each other, texting and video calling. I was willing to endure everything because Martin really stood by my side ever since she left me. Not that the others didn’t, but Martin knew exactly what I was feeling about her, and how my stupid actions messed everything up.
Every time I imagined having children, I always imagined her as their mother. Every time I said we were going to grow old and still be playing in this band, I always imagined her as my biggest fan, in the front row, supporting and cheering me. Every time I thought of my future, she was a part of it, in every possible scenario.
Only Martin knew that. Only Martin reprimanded me the way he did because he was the only one I had confessed how much she meant to me. Only he knew the extent I was willing to take my life to just to have her by my side. And only he knew how badly I had messed up.
I only told the others that we broke up because of “the band’s hectic schedule”, because I was too embarrassed to tell them how I betrayed the woman I loved so deeply and so wholly, just for a stupid, drunken mistake - not that was even an excuse.
But that was then, and Križanke was now. And, once again, I had to gather up my pieces, put on a smile, and let the show go on.
.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.
“Križanke! You’ve been amazing so far! We’re about halfway through the setlist and I’d like to talk to you about this next song.”
The crowd in front of me was cheering so loudly, but I felt like a deer in headlights, gulping the nonexistent saliva in my dry mouth, feeling my heartbeat rising by the second. I turned around and took a big gulp from the water bottle in front of Jure’s drums.
“This next song is kind of a confession. Last year, my ex-girlfriend broke up with me.” Screams and booing were heard from some parts of the audience. “And it was entirely my fault. Because she loved me, and I didn’t appreciate her enough. And I made a mistake.” Some gasps were now heard. “And I regret it to this day. But I know I cannot fix this in any way, not with a song, not with anything. But, at least, I can let her know that I never loved anyone like I loved her, and this song is for her. Ona. Moja ljubav.”
“Stanem ispod njenog prozora
Jedna njena senka da me spasi očaja.”
I was desperate for just a glimpse of happiness that her shadow alone would bring me. Even though I was not acting like myself anymore.
“Snegovi u avgustu sad po meni padaju
Dok tebe sunce greje, mi amore.”
Last August I spent almost every night waiting for her to show up, to notice me, to talk to me as I was standing under her window. But she never did.
“Znaj, bebo znaj
Celu noć sam plakao zbog tebe
Taj osećaj
Da za mene živo ti se jebe
Ubija me.”
I wasn’t afraid to tell anyone how my own mistake messed me and everything up; how I cried for her because I loved and still love her; how I knew she wouldn’t care about me anymore, and I cannot blame her for that. I doubt I would if the situation was the other way around. 
“Kažu vreme leči rane sve
Al' ne kažu koliko da se odviknem od nje
Godina je prošla, još vraća se u san
Vrti kao film sećanje na onaj dan.”
It’s been over a year since she broke up with me. Over a year since everyone was telling me that I’d get over her with time, because “time is supposed to heal everything”. My mind still keeps on replaying the day I told her over and over again, as a kind of punishment, a reminder that I was the one responsible for my misery from the very beginning.
“Znaj, bebo znaj
Celu noć sam plakao zbog tebe
Taj osećaj
Da za mene živo ti se jebe
Ubija me, ubija me.”
That was the only thing I could repeat over and over. I had accepted my fate and the fact that she wasn’t going to come back, and I had to live with that. I would continue to suffer - I knew that - but I also knew I deserved it.
Maybe one day, she would come back. Maybe one day, I could win her back. But until then, all I could do was hope.
.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.·:·.☽✧✦✧☾.·:·.*.
What Bojan - or anyone else, for the matter - did not know was that right there, somewhere in the back of that Križanke crowd, was a young woman whose heart was broken irrevocably a year ago by the only man she ever fell in love with. The man she’d sacrifice everything and anything for. The man she could see her future with. The man she still loved so deeply, but it was far too late to tell him that.
“Celu noć si plakao zbog mene
Celu noć si plakao zbog mene.”
So she did the only thing she could. She kept on singing along with the crowd; singing and enjoying the songs. The songs she had the privilege to hear first. The songs that made her love him even more than she already did. The songs he once wrote for her.

For those interested, here's the story of how Martin and Bojan first met!
Martin: "I met Bojan when he and his family moved near us, it was about ten years ago*, he knocked on our door and my mother answered and he asked if we had any children. I would say that this event still describes him today. He has no fear and is quite sociable." This is how Martin Jurkovič, the bass player of the band and a long-time friend of Bojan's, described the event that is most etched in his memory. He also described the "frontman" as a man with a vision and a man who engages the audience during the concert and directs everyone's attention onto himself and the band.
*T/N: The interview is from January 2021, which would mean they met in late 2010/early 2011, so their age was 11/12!
EDITED TO ADD: In the meantime I watched some more interviews and Martin spread FAKE INFO, because in several other interviews they mentioned that they met in 1st grade of Elementary school, which would mean that they were 6/7 years old! (I think he just said 10 years randomly, when it has been way more than that ahahaha)

ENG SUB: JokerOutSubs x RADIOAktivno collab: 'Umazane misli' Album Presentation
We are very happy to have been able to collaborate with Boštjan Najžar from RadioAKTIVNO podcast (Facebook, YouTube), who very kindly reuploaded the removed video on YouTube again and agreed to collaborate with us by adding subtitles!
Below you can find the transcription of our translation of the interview, which originally aired on 23.11.2021, on Radio Prlek/RADIOAktivno YouTube channel.
Everyone: We are Joker Out.
Bojan: And you are listening to RADIOaktivno.
Boštjan: We've heard 'Gola' by Joker Out, from the album 'Umazane Misli'. Today with me on the RADIOaktivno show on Radio Prlek all the members, Martin, Jure, Kris, Bojan and Jan.
Everyone: Hello.
Do you have any dirty thoughts?
Jan: Every day. Yes, more and more. That's what connects us, that's what's always stuck with us. I think we're born with dirty thoughts. We've just released that on a CD.
Now you have finally made them public.
Bojan: Yes, it took a while, but these dirty thoughts have changed in the last two years, since the album should, in theory, have been released originally, they have evolved a lot. And they have evolved in such a way that we are now really very happy with them. So, yeah, the physical form is finally with us.
Anyway, Joker Out, you've been playing your cards successfully for a few years now. Are there many Jokers in the game?
Kris: Yes, there are exactly five in the game, right? Each one special in their own way. That specialness and dirty thoughts, as they say, unite us, too, don't they. I don't know what else to add to that.
Do you play cards?
Jure: Do we play cards? No. Socially, we don't play cards. No. 
Bojan: We’ve actually never played cards.
Jan: We were at the casino last time.
Bojan: Hey, we were. And on average, I think, we were in a deficit, just two euros in total, or four.
Jan: Something like that.
That's a good result.
Bojan: Really good.
Kris: So kids, don't go to the casino.
Bojan: Yes. You will always lose.
Five Jokers, well connected.
Martin: Seems pretty well connected to me. We kind of complement each other nicely in what we create and what we do. What else can I say? Well, if there are only two Jokers in a deck, here we have five. Kind of.
Bojan: Like the Power Rangers.
Jan: Yes. Power Rangers. Power Rangers. Power Out. Joker.
Bojan: Is there a pink Power Ranger?
Jan: Joker Rangers.
Martin: There's a pink Power Ranger.
Bojan: I am the pink Power Ranger. Bojan.
So does each one choose his own colour, or is it assigned to a particular member?
Kris: Yes, I think basically the colour is assigned based on his character and temperament. So maybe pink really suits Bojan, yes.
Kris, which one for you?
Kris: Yes, I don't know which Power Rangers are left.
Bojan: Red, yellow, green.
Jan: You can have one of your own.
Bojan: Black.
Kris: Is Jan the black one?
Bojan: Jan is the black one.
Kris: Jan is the black one, right.
Bojan: Jure is the yellow one, right?
Jure: Am I the yellow one, or what?
Kris: Is he the yellow one?
Martin: Nooo.
Bojan: Yes, I don't know, is it?
Kris: I would say, the green one?
Jure: Green.
Kris: Jure is...
Bojan: Green.
Jure: Well, come on.
Kris: Hey, what's left, red and blue still, Jurko?
Martin: Yes, yes.
Jan: Jurko is more…Martin is more the blue one.
Kris: Well, I'm the red one and Martin is the blue one.
Power Rangers are always in action, are you always in action too?
Martin: Yes, especially lately, I think, that we're pretty much in action. Well, from all points of view, musical and others, socially. What else can I say on this topic?
Jure: There's a big thing in the works right now. So, we have to split up the tasks and that's it, yes.
But there's a lot of "sweet" work now?
Jure: Yes, yes and no, right?
Bojan: If you interpret it that way, it's much easier. If you tell yourself that it's "sweet" work, then many things that originally are not directly related to music, but are just things that we have to do along the way, to be successful, it could work, after all. We have a lot of "sweet" worries, we often have worries that we would like to or be able to give to someone who tolerates them better than we do, or just not have them.
Kris, were you going to add something else?
Kris: I just wanted to say that there's a lot of sweet powder as well. To get this, the context of one of the songs will come in handy.
UMAZANE MISLI
Gola' was the opening track, the second will be the title track for the album, 'Umazane misli'.
Bojan: Yes, 'Umazane misli' is one of those extremely upbeat, good-mood songs, which was kind of our attempt at Brit pop and we feel that it was very much the beginning of a certain vibe that we would like to maintain. It's also a very particular song because it was sung by one of my classmates from college, who had never sung or stood in front of a microphone in her life, so it has that touch of naivety. So yes, a very beautiful song that I hope we'll listen to.
Umazane misli' by Joker Out's album with the same name. You are a five-member band, I read online, you started from the ruins of Apokalipsa, in 2016.
Bojan: Yes, on the ruins of Apokalipsa and then Buržuazija (Bourgeoisie). These were the two bands that kind of broke up and then formed this current whole. Except for Jurček, Jurček joined us this January from the ruins of many other bands where he was forged.
But Buržuazija is still active. So you have taken away a member from them?
Jan: Yes, they got replaced. I mean, no matter what, Buržuazija always finds a way to its position.
Kris: True. The class struggle continues.
Jan: But, yes. I mean, this is a band that's replaced every member five times, at least, so...
Bojan: They're really a living organism.
Jan: Resilient. They're resilient, yes.
Martin: That's the question, right, if you replace every part of the boat, is it still the same boat?
Bojan: No, it's not the same boat, but it is a very good thing for Buržuazija, because I would say they are in the best possible shape right now. Maybe I dissed Jan and Kris with that, because it wasn't so good when they were there, but yes... Great band, still, or rather now.
Kris: Yet I 'Still' ('Vedno') enjoy it.
Jan: Yes, that.
Then today, Jure, you are actually the youngest member, joining the band?
Jure: Oldest member but youngest in the band, yes, I think.
In experience with Joker Out, I mean.
Jure: In experience with Joker Out, yes.
Bojan: He's the only one with a sweater on, so actually, kind of, the levels balance out.
Jure: I try to get on your level.
Have you received him nicely?
Kris: Absolutely. He's fitted himself in so perfectly into our band that I actually sometimes forget that we've been together for... - Just... - ...less than a year.
Bojan: He still has to adress us formally and eat at a separate table.
Jan: He did make us a really great roast once, so that's when we finally accepted him into our band.
Bojan: True, yes.
So you also have entrance exams in the group?
Bojan: Informal ones.
Given that Jure is cooking a roast to enter the group, what did the others do then to get in?
Martin: That is only for the members of Joker Out to know, right? Something like that.
Anyway, we first got in touch in 2017, Kris texted me then that you had a song, if it could be presented on the radio. If we could do an interview, but then Kris immediately left Bojan holding the bag.
Kris: Yes, that's when I, I don't know, I think I got lists from my mum of 30 music editors and we wrote to everyone when we released our first single 'Omamljeno telo' and I was genuinely surprised and I thank you, for even answering, so thank you very much. I really did, however, leave Bojan holding the bag at the time and still, I would do it again. That's just the duty of the frontman, or how should I say it? He has privileges and duties.
Usually the frontman is the most exposed member of the band.
Bojan: Yes, that's just kind of how it goes generally, but I will say that we have, especially in the last few months and in this final process of making the album, greatly expanded the public exposure of the whole band. And I personally would like to see this be brought to the maximum level, if possible, so to say, to be as exposed as possible. Not only because I find it to be right, but because I also sometimes feel like not going to every single thing.
VEM DA GREŠ
The next song will be 'Vem, da greš'.
Kris: What can I say about this track, listen to Bojan's sufferings.
Bojan: No, we have one interesting thing about 'Vem, da greš'. Vem, da greš' had three forms. It was a very slow balladic song at the beginning, but it kind of got on our nerves during the recording process and we didn't know what to do. We ended up speeding it up a lot. Mark Pirc, our video producer, had to edit the whole video again and shorten it by one minute, because we'd also shortened the song. Jan recorded the last guitar parts two hours before we sent the song to be mixed, so two months of work was practically in the trash, in such a bombastically short time before the mix itself.
Kris: May I add, it doesn't look to me like it was all garbage, because we would never have come up with this in the last four hours if we hadn't done that two months before.
Bojan: But Žarko clicked 'move to trash', 'delete'.
But then it was left in the bin anyway?
Bojan: It was left in the bin, yes. And also on his old computer, so we'll never hear that stuff again, even if we wanted to.
You've been accumulating experience on stage for quite some time, from various competitions and things like that.
Kris: Yes, it's true, as soon as we formed as a band, we also started looking for gigs, because we knew it was the only way for people to actually hear our music and feel it. Because what you see on YouTube, maybe doesn't capture you as much as live music. And there are, basically, at least for young bands in Slovenia, quite a lot of opportunities to show off, various competitions and bands battles and so on. And we've entered everything. Even when we weren't playing well, we thought we were better than everybody and we went to play. And basically, well, apart from showing off to the audience, you also get to know a lot of the young music scene, with whom it's very good to link, and I think that this has also helped us a lot in the long term.
What has it given you?
Martin: First of all, I think that these opportunities make it possible for young bands to come out of some kind of closed space, where they feel comfortable since they practice in front of each other and create some music to perform and show what they've been creating for the audience and let's them see how the audience reacts or, especially, how they don't react to your music at the beginning and it gives you some first experiences that are very important for then performing in front of larger audiences on bigger stages.
How is it, being in such competitions or opening for a more famous band that has stage experience behind them?
Jan: The first time we played as the opening act for Big Foot Mama in Domžale, I kind of felt so privileged, I was, I think, so privileged to be able to take part in it. So without going through that and being an opening act to bigger bands, also you can't become what they are now. So, 25 years ago, yeah. So, yes, it was interesting to feel a really big stage for the first time, right. And now we're kind of almost used to it, I think.
Kris: Do you know the song 'Garbage Hip Hop?'
Today it's different when you're the one on stage.
Jure: I don't know, I don't know if it's different. I think you have to make the same effort. You have to make the same effort. Maybe, okay, now people, people maybe percieve the opening act and the main band a little differently. But still, if you play what you what you agreed on, if you have good energy, communicate with people, it doesn't matter whether you're the opening act or the main band.
Bojan: Are you going to tell me that you don't feel a thousand times sexier on stage right now, than you did then? Don't lie.
Jure: No, no, I don't know if I do. No. I mean, I'm at the back, I'm the drummer, it's the same to me.
Bojan: Drummers, poor drummers, they never see the crowd and they can't even be seen on stage. But we'll buy you a pedestal, my dude, three metres high, dude, for everybody to see.
Jure: Lights.
Bojan: Then you're gonna see.
How do you feel as a singer now, when you're the frontman in a band and you have an opening act, compared to when you were the opening act?
Bojan: Yes, it's really one of those interesting leaps that we actually can't believe has already been made, I will say, honestly, as if we were just now realising that we had come to this point that someone is our opening act. We really do have a lot, a lot of work to do. But we are very happy to do a concert and there's somebody else before us. But we know that this role was ours, literally, for the last four years and we have always welcomed it with the greatest joy and pride. And it's a must on every musician's journey, so, yes, we're looking forward to a lot more opening acts, and hopefully as many as possible, that then will be back as the main ones, in the future.
To make the competition fiercer?
Bojan: Absolutely, I think that without good and healthy competition, there is no scene at all. So the more musicians we have, that are growing and that people are listening to, the more we will have an audience that wants Slovenian music.
PROTI TOKU
Is 'Proti toku' next?
Jure: Proti toku', that's a new song, yes. We finished this one together, right? After I joined the band. So, this is one of the latest ones. I don't know what else to say, 'Proti toku'.
Kris: Okay, so 'Proti toku' is the first track, you're going to hear from our new album and it's brand new. It's actually fairly well known amongst our audience, because we've been performing it for at least three years, I believe. But it's in a completely new format because we turned it upside down three times in the studio and we hope you like it.
Considering your music, are you a rock band?
Martin: We're definitely a rock band. By the way, we discussed this just yesterday, how as young performers, well, we are still young performers, but in the early days, we didn't know exactly how to define our genre. When we were asked what our genre is, and we were maybe a bit thoughtless, or you could say thoughtful, when we replied that our genre was 'Shagadelic' rock and roll, which is still what we all agree on.
And if we translate that, what is that supposed to mean? We know that there are many different kinds of rock.
Martin: I don't know how to translate that, as somehow...
Bojan: Fuckable is a literal translation. Fuckable.
Then we know which audience you are targeting most.
Bojan: Yes, everyone who is looking for...
Kris: Middle-aged males.
(laughter)
Jan: I mean, yeah, yeah, we are rock, right? I mean, rock isn't just leather trousers and beer, it's also smart clothes and beer.
Bojan: It's the eternal question of defining who is rock and who isn't. In our band there are three electric guitars, a bass and drums and I think the sound of our guitars is distorted. I don't know what else people want from us. Now, the fact that we're young, obviously, objectively speaking, girls find us charming, obviously degrades us into not being rock or something, according to many people. But sorry, not sorry, Guns N'Roses will never be on our setlist.
Were you in a dilemma at the beginning about what to play and which direction to follow?
Jan: We definitely were. I think we have quite different musical backgrounds. At least I was a little bit more metal at the beginning, which didn't really suit the other members, because Bojan doesn't sing "raaah". His voice is more delicate. Then, yeah, we explored a little bit, experimented some more with funk, but it didn't work out, because we just aren't... that funky, well, but... So, yeah, in a bit of a roundabout way we've reached this Shagadelic style, which we still hold on to.
How many adjustments were there at the beginning then? And brainstorming, different ideas, ways of looking at where to go and how to move forward?
Kris: Ugh...
Others: We still do that a lot. - It still happens.
Kris: That's constant. It's always present. It's a shouting match and the loudest one... No, no...
Bojan: And if you shout the loudest, you win.
Kris: Yeah, yeah. No, but seriously usually we had very different ideas, but somehow we at least let everyone speak their mind, and if it was really bad, it was just... Like that, the rest... But if anybody had a half decent...
Jan: Why are you looking at me now? (laughter)
Kris: Sorry... (laughter). But if anyone had a half decent idea we were like, okay, let's go and try to develop it and somehow we've always found a joint thread, invariably.
Would you also take a vote when you create then? To vote, like in a democratic fashion?
Jure: No, we don't, we don't take votes.
Bojan: Žare has this...
Jure: Yes, we do understand and know each other enough, so we know exactly which buttons we can and can't push.
Bojan: Our opinions don't really count, because in the end, Žare has the last word.
The producer has it then.
Bojan: Right, yes. We often bring the arrangement and then after 25 seconds we're faced with dissaproval and a horrified look on the face of Žare Pak, so we have to get back and rehearse ASAP.
The expression says it all.
Bojan: It tells it all. All of it, all of it.
Jan: And the vowel, right?
Bojan: He uses a vowel, ə... - əəə...
Several members: əəə...
Martin: Which we hear quite often in the band, right?
Bojan: Now we can write a book called 'The Thousand and One ə'. And Žare, we'll basically take Žare's, we'll write a whole book out of one ə.
After all, the Slovene language also has several e's.
Bojan: There are more, but believe me, Žarko probably knows even more of them.
DOPAMIN
Next up will be 'Dopamin'.
Martin: Dopamin' is a very exciting song from the album, because it's quite different from the others but it's still Shagadelic and it's ours and you can hear that. Although we kind of went out of our comfort zone creating it and what's particularly interesting to me, it's how well the fans have embraced it. So let's listen to 'Dopamin'.
Kris: Dopamin' is actually the best song to play after this whole rock 'n' roll debate we just had. It's a song that was essentially created two weeks ago, let's say, to completion. We had already been working on it with no real progress for a year and a half, because we, I had lots of different lyrics, this is actually a song I wrote, lyrics and melody for the most part, the only one on the album, and there was constant back and forth between Bojan and me, who's going to give in and when will the final version of the song be good enough.
Bojan: Yes, I would like to say that I am extremely happy, that Kris's debut made it onto the album and I'm not apologising to him one bit for any rejections that may have come his way, because they've led to a great song.
You have ten songs on the album, is there more material, is this a selection?
Jan: Yes, we've written at least 70 thousand songs in our life, but...
Martin & Bojan: They're cherry-picked.
Jan: They're cherry-picked, right. It's the cream of the cream of the crop. Well, yes, there is already more material coming up for the next album, which will be released at some point we've written at least one song.
Bojan: And a half.
Jan: One song and a half, yes.
Martin: Which won't pass the ə-test, right. The ə-test we were discussing earlier, so we'll see what happens.
Bojan: People always want to know how many E's are in their food, but we're interested in how many ə's are in Žare's answer.
There can be a lot of ə's in the studio with this technique.
Bojan: Loads.
Although I do miss some songs from your ealier period on the album. Have you separated then those perfect beginnings from the more recent period?
Bojan: Yes, actually we said that we would like this album to sound cohesive and represent our choices for example which period defined the Joker Out people know now. We have many songs that were part of our beginning, and we're not ashamed of them at all, but we feel that maybe they stylistically and sonically don't belong on this tangible product we have in front of us now. But we're discussing how and in what way we can put them into, if possible, physical form, and present them to the whole of Slovenia.
How do you go about creating then? Do you have a dedicated person who does the music? who writes the lyrics, or do you work together?
Bojan: I mean, people from the label usually come in, bring all the material...
Jure: And the money.
Bojan: We go to the photoshoots, pose and smile, do some interviews.
That's what most listeners think, but I know that's not the case.
Martin: I have one comment. Yes, this, this label is the Cultural Arts Association Joker Out, isn't it?
Bojan: Yes
Martin: Kind of. This label takes care of the whole creative process, finance and everything else, really, so we're pretty much the ones to blame for our own fate.
Kris: Right, in fact, this is how our creation process flows, as far as music is concerned, we all work together. You can start a song by, let's say Bojan or I can start making a framework for the song, with the lyrics and the melody, or someone could bring a melody on guitar to the rehearsals, a groove on the drums, like, a chord progression and we just build from there and then usually Bojan will write some lyrics over it and the melody and then we build it up until the producer screws it up, as we've mentioned a couple of times today and then we try to glue the pieces back together somehow.
Bojan: We're doing a mosaic, through and through.
Kris: Yeah, yeah, right, right. But in the end, the suffering is always worth it, obviously.
So gluing is popular with you, too.
Jure: Gluing is popular? Yes, it is. I mean.
You take a little bit from this song and cut up the other one.
Jure: Exactly. We can't do without it, yes. But it's more Žare's job, it's what he does.. We put together some stuff when we rehearse, we think it's nice, we record it, we're like, okay, smashing, let's go to the concert and let's promote it. And then we get to the studio our plans crumble..
Martin: As a label we have everything ready, but then we're just not on the same page as our producer.
Bojan, then you're the one who's responsible for the lyrics?
Bojan: Yeah, most of the lyrics on the album are mine, yeah.
Jan: Or the main culprits for the lyrics are the girls, who captivated Bojan in our favour.
Are there many of them?
Bojan: Well, you know how, I'm fascinated by, not only by the girls, girls as well, of course, but I'm fascinated by everyday things, a glimpse of... Every single glimpse of the world can fascinate you or disappoint you. When I write it's more often out of disappointment than out of fascination. But yes, I think there is a lot of inspiration around us.
BARVE OCEANA
Next up will be 'Barve oceana'.
Jan: The next song is 'Barve oceana', yeah. It's a song which has the colours of the ocean. Well it's also a song, that's undergone quite a lot of changes. At the end we added one genius synthesizer sound.
Bojan: We used this weird organ belonging to Žare from the '70s.
Jan: Žare's organ from the 70's, pardon me.
Martin: From Sweden.
Jan: Yeah, does anyone else have anything to say?
Bojan: Was that all you had to say, because...
Jan: I don't know, dude. What would you add?
Bojan: Yeah, 'Barve oceana' is one of those songs, that conveys, I'd say, not discontent, but more of a concern about the direction our society is heading in. Our consumption is increasing and very few people ask themselves what they can give back. It's about a certain desire to distance yourself from the material towards, let's say, the more elemental realm.
You've won several music awards recently, in the last two years, I believe?
Bojan: Yes, in 2019 we were awarded the Golden Flute for Newcomer of the Year. In 2020, we received the Golden Flute for Artists of the Year. This year, our song 'Umazane misli' also won the Radio Maribor and SI Frišno Award the favourite song by audience vote in the previous year. I don't know, did we win any other awards? Except...
Martin: Yes, there's one coming up. So, the publishing house Cultural Arts Association Joker Out, will be honouring Joker Out with the most Shagadelic record of the year award, so we're expecting it and looking forward to it. (laughter)
And you'll probably get a plaque as well, a gold or diamond record for record sales.
Martin: That's right, because that's what the label would give to the band. So we haven't decided on the colour yet, we're considering platinum, diamond. But we're going to discuss it at the label and then present it to the band, something like that.
What do such high sales mean?
Martin: Yes, it means that basically the CD as a product is not just for listening to music, it's also an experience for the listener. We've put a lot of effort into the design of the CD and I think it's a good looking tangible product. But at the same time, the listeners support us by buying it, so we're very grateful.
Is it just storefront sales or does it include digital sales as well?
Bojan: Digital sales as well. Actually there are some standards applicable, in terms of how many streams count as an album sold. We, of course, do not follow them in any way, because we're self-published and we can totally get away with it. So when Martin said, we're going to give ourselves one award, I believe we'll be handing out many. It is because when people come to our place, it will look like we've already got decades of awards behind us.
Earlier, you also mentioned that you participated in the Frišno Fresh festival and played with the Big Band. How did that feel, when your song actually got a whole new arrangement?
Bojan: It was phenomenal, because we, I'll say, we're all fans of the musicians, who were in the line-up. Maybe Jan's words after the concert or during the concert would best describe what it meant to us.
Jan: Yes, I listened to the band perform this song and I've been a long-time fan of Primož Grašič and Blaž Jurjevčič. And when I watched Grašič, let's say, as he played my piece, I got... It was just a special, special feeling. It was just... Yes, exactly.
Bojan: Emotional.
Jan: Emotional.
Bojan: Please don't cry Jan, it's okay. We're wiping away tears, it's okay.
But overall, all the compositions sounded very good.
Jan: Yeah, really, I mean, those are really world class musicians, kudos to the arrangers and the mothers who gave birth to them. So, yeah, basically, I just didn't see it coming. But it was refreshing to hear these songs, we hear on the radio on a regular basis in a slightly more jazz-like style.
Did you have a part in making the arrangements?
Bojan: No.
Kris: Yes, in fact, technically speaking we did, because we noticed that they took the original arrangement and incorporated certain harmonies into the new one. Which is actually quite an honour for us. That such accomplished jazz musicians...
Bojan: They weren't above it.
Kris: ...incorporated our amateur harmonies into their grandiose compositions.
METULJI
Metulji' is next.
Bojan: Metulji' is a song that was written, let's say, at the same time as 'Omamljeno telo'. In 2017, that is. Our biggest issue with this song was, that it had a very Yugo-nostalgic rock feel to it, which was not the sound we wanted. We just didn't know how to manifest what we heard in our heads. and that's why we decided at the time not to record the song. And that's why we only recorded 'Omamljeno telo'. But now this song has got, as far as I'm concerned, exactly the sound I always imagined, and I didn't know how to recognise it or explain it. Daniel Bogataj joined us for the arrangement, and another violinist (f) who... Daniel did the arrangement for strings and also recorded most of the string sections. So the song is very special, I'll say, as far as our album is concerned, it has a slightly more classical feel to it and it's also my personal favourite.
The promotion is already behind you, as you can read online, the response has been great.
Kris: Yeah, in fact it's hard to believe, that it's really all over. I, I believe, I speak for all of us here, when I say that I haven't really gotten down to earth yet from the whole thing. It has been quite an incredible experience. Both nights, the energy was high, Cvetličarna was packed. Who would have thought? Certainly not us five years ago.
Jure: We had no idea even back in September. In the middle of September we were, we were like Cvetka, we know it's happening, we can start renovating our place now. So we started to renovate the place, all of it, and then it was the end of September, okay, we were clearly lagging. So we had to find a new rehearsal place, so we were able to rehearse at all.
Bojan: Because of how many metres of timber we do now have in our place waiting for us?
Jure:Yes, far too many cubic metres of timber. We installed drywalls, the whole thing. We were filthy and then we had to sit down and pick up the instruments. And we had to rehearse and work for the whole month. It was really exhausting.
Now then, while you're renovating the place, or your rehearsal space, do you have dirty thoughts as well?
Jure: We had dirty hands.
Bojan: Hands, yeah.
Martin: And everything else.
Bojan: Sweet powder and white dreams. The was a lot of dust, because we had to sand the drywall, it was all over the place. And we ended up painting it white so it became a kind of... a shiny white space, our white dream. So, yes, we will also have a new rehearsal space soon and we'll personally and we'll personally invite you to the opening, so we can talk a bit, record something, you can see all these mighty accolades.
That's what I'm interested in, yes, to take a photo and release it to the public, into the world.
Bojan: Absolutely. I think the world needs to see it. It's imperative.
Do you already have a designer(f) for the awards?
Martin: Actually, we don't have one yet. But I promise we really will do our best with these awards, so maybe another band will join our label eager for the awards. We can also make some additional plans with them.
Jure: But that would mean some serious money, you know.
Others: Money talks.
Martin: Money talks, let's just put it that way.
Kris: When we sign the contract, we can go for a beer together.
Bojan: The only negative thing, I have to add, about applauding yourself in self-publishing, is that you pay for the awards yourself. So, we borrowed a lot of money as a band for these awards, but it's all worth it for the glitz and glamour.
Will the other band coming to your label, be called Joker In then?
Martin: Yeah, we'll see about that.
Jure: A wedding band, you know?
Martin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bojan: That's what they are, for weddings. A medley of Dalmatian songs, yeah. A six-hour repertoire, no biggie, and you can hire us from next April onwards, thank you.
Martin: Kidding aside, we've already received these kind of requests. For Dalmatian songs, weddings and stuff.
Bojan: Oh, yeah. I once made a joke on Val 202, when the host asked us about our repertoire, how many songs we performed, and I jokingly mentioned, that we also play a medley of Dalmatian songs, and then we received a couple of requests in the mail for birthdays and weddings.
Martin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jure: Oh, my.
When you're conditioning, you need to get as fit, as, let's say, the musicians out there on the rafts in Belgrade who play for eight hours straight without taking a break.
Bojan: But for the moment, I'll just say, that as far as the rafts go, we only ever go there to party. Otherwise, yeah, we've played once or twice with other bands at the same event and when the guys told us, how long their setlists were, we realised, that with one gig, they actually perform as much as we do in month, so...
Martin: But the guys also benefit financially, don't they.
A SEM TI POVEDAL
The next one will be 'A sem ti povedal'.
Kris: A sem ti povedal' is another exciting track from our album.
Bojan: They're all exciting...
Kris: Come on, they're all exciting songs, especially the exciting ones. It's special because it perhaps has the hardest sound...
Martin: It's dark, dark.
Kris: The hardest, darkest amongst all the songs on the album and for an extra touch of eroticism Erazem Grafenauer has recorded a classical guitar intro.
I've read somewhere that this is the most anticipated album of the year.
Bojan: Yeah, for us it is.
Jan: Yeah.
Bojan: We've been busy making it.
And last but not least, for the fans.
Bojan: There's absolutely a lot of people who couldn't wait for this album to be released.
Jan: Amongst others, the five of us.
Bojan: Amongst others, the five of us, most of all, definitely our parents. But, unfortunately, there were, unfortunately, the circumstances didn't allow us to get the album out sooner than we did. And we're glad we've released it now and that we have been able to introduce it to the world with these two concerts. So we have no idea if it's the most anticipated one. For us it was absolutely the most anticipated. But we hope that if this one wasn't, the next one will be.
You've placed yourself on the cover in colours.
Jan: Yes, in the colours of the ocean and the Power Rangers. Yes, we went to shoot that cover or the cover photo to a mansion.
Bojan: To Rogaška Slatina..
Jan: In Rogaška Slatina, yes. Jan Pirnat took the photo. So, yeah, basically this light beam represents our path as it bounces off various walls and eventually finds its way to the top.
Bojan: Plus, there is another explanation, that this beam basically represents the dirty thoughts that confront us, penetrate through us, and are then projected out into the world.
To the audience.
Bojan: That's right.
Otherwise, you also invest a lot in video production. In fact, you seem to support every single with a video.
Kris: Yeah, it seems to me the only right thing to do is to support every single with a video. Even if you don't, if we didn't want to, it's the modern standard. And many people might disagree, that we invest a lot in video production.
Martin: But we do.
Kris: We are making a huge effort. And the main thing is when we do videos, we also like to be involved in the actual writing of the script. and deciding what it's going to be about.
Jan: Every time we draw straws to see who's next, who's going to sacrifice a kidney for the production.
Bojan: Exactly. That's exactly it. We are missing a few kidneys in the band because of these videos.
Can your music be accessed via Facebook or in another way, through your website?
Martin: Our music is actually accessible, we've tried to make it accessible, it's virtually everywhere on the internet and through Facebook, Instagram, now even on TikTok. Maybe the label will consider, if it's worth releasing a TikTok single, because that's supposedly popular right now. Anyway, it's something to think about, but it's exciting. And we have a website, we're putting a lot of effort into it ourselves, to make it as organised as possible and appealing to everyone. Since the other day, you can also buy our CDs, T-shirts and sweatshirts and everything else to support the band, so we don't have to sacrifice as many kidneys in the future.
Kris: If not, there are also Russian torrent sites. Everything is available there as well.
Bojan: Besides, we sing in the Cyrillic alphabet,right?
But with advice like that, there will actually be one golden or platinum record less.
Kris: Yeah, what can I say, we have ourselves to blame.
Martin: Well, we also have one more record for torrent listeners, So basically, we are on trend, it seems to me, in this respect.
Kris: The ones from the Russian websites, are in this red and gold, very communist style, this...
BELE SANJE
Next up is 'Bele sanje'.
Kris: Yeah, that song, when we perform live, Bojan always mentions that it's about nightlife horrors. So, listen up.
To conclude, will you be applying for EMA?
Bojan: Hey, is that a girl, or what?
Bojan knows the girl quite well.
Bojan: Honestly, there hasn't been serious consideration of applying for EMA. Maybe if we ever get carried away. But it seems to us that now that Måneskin has won it would be a bit, how do you say, tacky, imitative, for us to give it a try now. Like, now it's an obvious recipe for victory. So we are waiting when the next extreme will emerge, that's totally the opposite of our band, and win Eurovision, and next year we'll apply.
Jure: Well, we would need some support. No, not for going to EMA...
Bojan: 100 million euros.
Jure: You've got a new piece of music and... You put on a show... and that's where it ends.
Bojan: That's it. Let's say 100 million euros of support would be lovely. If we can manage.
Martin: We'll ask the label to pay for it.
Jure: Or if you buy the merch, well, maybe. Or if someone... [inaudible]
Anyway, as I understand you are already creating new material?
Jure: We are creating new material. If not with guitars, then at least in our minds. So... It's forever bubbling in the depths of our ever-dirty minds.
Anyway, I guess, now you're aiming for as many stages as possible, and the listeners are welcome to check the schedule on all the social media sites...
Martin: And on the website
... because it can vary from day to day, right?
Kris: Yeah, at the moment, we have a lot of interest for our gigs up to the end of the year and we hope we'll be able to have I'm knocking on wood, 10 to 15 concerts more and it will basically serve as...
Bojan: A mini-tour.
Kris: A mini-tour for the 'Umazane misli' album launch. We begin... a couple of days ago we performed at Rakičan castle, it was awesome.
Otherwise, again, as Martin says, we should mention the website, because you're one of the few bands that still maintains it.
Martin: Right, but it's interesting that we set up this website as some kind of vital inconvenience, and it turns out that people really like to visit the website where you can always find information, where in your vicinity we are going to perform in the near future, and all other relevant news.
OMAMLJENO TELO
We will end with the song 'Omamljeno'.
Jan: Its full title is 'Omamljeno telo'. It's basically our earliest track on this album, which you can tell from Bojan's slightly more boyish voice.
Bojan: And Tomi Meglič impersonation.
Jan: Yeah, right.
Jan: ♪ For you ♪
Bojan: ♪ to conjure up... ♪
Jan: But yeah, I think this song is excting because, it is the same now, when it is released, as when it was created, on one of the first ever rehearsals.
Bojan: It's the only song actually, we brought into the studio and that's exactly how we recorded it.
Jan: We knew exactly what it should be and that's how it remained.
This is our final song. Jan, Bojan, Kris, Jure and Martin, thank you, for being guests on the RADIOaktivno show at Radio Prlek. Have a successful and most productive future.
Jan: Thank you very much for inviting us.
Others: Thank you.
Bojan: Thank you very much for the invitation, we wish you the same.
Kris: We will come again sometime.
Martin: We hope to be back with you soon.
I hope so.
Martin: We do too, thank you.

Okay BUT
Imagine a Joker Out Hogwarts AU, where Bojan and Martin are childhood friends (Bojan is a muggleborn and Martin is a halfblood but he lives in a muggle town because someone of his parents is a muggleborn and didn't want to leave the muggle world completely)
And when they are kids Martin always tells Bojan about the wizards and their world, but when they get older Martin is scared that Bojan is just a normal muggle, and he hopes that Bojan would believe that all his stories are just fairytales
AND THEN BOJAN GETS A LETTER THAT HE'S A WIZARD AND MARTIN IS EVEN HAPPIER ABOUT IT THAN BOJAN

Hello! I loved the BoMartin fic! I had a question if you don't mind? It's a pretty small one haha so maybe people won't find it too interesting. It was the first time (at least I think it was, maybe I'm forgetting earlier chapters) that you used the term 'mate' and I was wondering how exactly that word is used in your AU, and curious about it in the context of Bojan and Martin discussing their relationship!
Is it used like bf/gf? Did Martin consider Bojan his mate? Or is it a bigger commitment like marriage? (Bojan essentially asking whether he was marriage material lol) or is it even stronger like in some fantasy where it's a fated, soulmate bond?
And is it vampire specific?
Thank you!! Absolutely loving this fic and all the bonus content!
that's a good question, thakn you! (i like answering simple ones anyway. i always make them complicated and they give me a great jumping off point for world building.) Also yeah that is the first time I've used the word mate.
(okay this got very long sorry. i really liked thinking about this and how it would work in the world so it got kinda in depth. also I only think of all this in depth when stuff is asked about so I've had several almost throwaway lines become proper parts of the world because people were interested in them.)
the mate Martin means is in a vampire specific context and is basically marrage/ lifelong bond kinda deal. Originally it meant a partnership between a vampire and a nonvampire as a way to protect them ("you can't drink from her/hurt her that's Gabriel's mate so she's protected"). It also was an implication (especially if the non vampire was human) that the vampire would primarily feed from their mate. traditionally that's how a lot of mating starts, by drinking from them first and the forming that strong bond.
In more modern times/ in Martin and Kris's clan the term can be used for vampire x vampire relationships too but is still basically a lifelong commitment, and an agreement that no one else can touch the other person without also dealing with their mate.
Bojan was basically joking about being marrage material and how if martin had started feeding from him then it would be like starting a courtship/ starting down the path to becoming a mate maybe.
Different clans will debate over soulmates, the more romantic ones like to believe in it but for Martin and Kris's clan it's just a very intense marriage. Like different faiths. Werewolves also use the terms mate but it's a bit more relaxed. more like a regular marriage kinda deal. For werewolves it can be used instead of patner/husband/wife in a more relaxed sense.
think of it like the word partner. Where I'm from most people out of high school used partner to mean the person they're dating cause boyfriend/girlfriend sounds kinda immature. But in America partner is less common (from what I know) and is still mostly used by queer couples if they don't want to say boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife.
it's the same word but it has slightly different usages/meanings/ implications in the different monster cultures.
(i think i've said this before but I find it much more interesting to have there be different cultures within the monster species. not all vampires and werewolves and other monsters think and act the same just like how withing every culture there's little sub groups.)

Joker Out fandom, a little help please?
I’m sitting here with a new moodboard series idea, except I don’t quite know how to go about it. It’s Joker Out x Sailor Moon, where I assign each of them different Senshi. Except I’m quite…torn on some of them.
Here are my current thoughts:
Bojan - Moon/Usagi
Kris - Neptune/Michiru (LESBIAN) or Uranus/Haruka (LESBIAN) or Mars/Rei?
Jure - Venus/Minako
Jan - Mars/Rei or Pluto/Setsuna (really torn here…but a striking and mysterious beauty, he is)?
Nace - Jupiter/Makoto
Optional:
Martin - This is hard but maybe Saturn/Hotaru? (not quite sure with this one)
If you could help me, I’d really appreciate it. 😅
(I’ll admit that I wouldn’t want to assign Mercury/Ami to anyone as much as possible, unless it’s extremely warranted, as she’s kinda frumpy looks-wise, not very fun and has the kinda unremarkable powers in canon…Neptune has the cooler water powers. I apologize in advance to any Mercury stans out there. 😭)
