being swedish, i feel like just reblogging posts isn't enough. i hope i speak for most of swedes when i say this:
WE DO NOT ACCEPT THE BULLSHIT SVT AND EBU ARE THROWING. WE HATE IT JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO. MOST OF US SUPPORT PALESTINE. WE DO NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS SENDING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.
now i am going to speak from a personal standpoint:
somehow, this has only furthered my borderless beliefs. i hate that this is what my country stands for, i hate that this is my country, i hate my country, i hate that this country is supposedly meant to be a big part of my identity.
eurovision has always been a big deal for me. i don't mean to act as if the bigger deal for me here is missing eurovision, this post is just about eurovision and The Genocide is playing a part in the shitshow. but going back to eurovision, i can't remember the last time i missed a eurovision. so many memories. so many bangers. so many victories, no matter who wins, no matter who lost. but it feels even more tainted by the elephant in the room that is Israel. i could not, in good faith, watch Eurovision this year. this is the FIRST TIME i have EVER done this. to be honest, im struggling, since it's such a great deal to me personally. but i know i can, and i will.
(you're not a bad person for watching eurovision, by the way.
... as long as it's critically, and you're not benefiting the EBU financially.)
the nail in the coffin was Joost. precious joost, someone who i now get getting a fan favorite. Europapa just SLAPS. in honor of his father, too. and for all of that to be RUINED by JUSTIFIED RETALIATION is FUCKED.
i don't really know what else to say. fuck the ebu.

I fell in love, I fell in love
I gave my heart to El Diablo
I gave it up, I gave it up
Because he tells me I'm his angel

Iceland 2021. Norway 2022. Finland 2023.
What do they have in common? Yes, FUN! Colours! Catchy! A sense of humour! Silly dancing! Originality!
And Sweden? No, absolutely not. We've been sending boring generic pop for so long, if any of these entries were in our selection process, they've would've (outrageously!) not been selected.
Next year, please send HOOJA! 😂 I'm not even a massive fan, but I crave something silly. It doesn't have to rank well, just send it and redeem us. In Swedish, please, rapping in a northern Swedish/slightly Finnish accent. Be less serious, I beg you. It's getting pretentious.

if i had a penny for every time i've become obsessed with a green-themed, goofy-dancing, charismatic Eurovision contestant who deserved better, i'd have two pennies. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice, right? 💚🔥
