You were nervous. You were never nervous, but right now you were sweating. Anxiety was pouring down your neck in waves, and you couldn't understand why. Maybe the joint you'd smoked before you'd showed up to this godforsaken party was bad, or maybe, and more likely, it was because he was there.

You weren't scared of Ville Valo. A lot of people were, and you could tell by the way the seas of people infesting this shitty house party parted way to give him space to walk where he held his head ridiculously high, but you weren't. In fact, you were more inconvenienced by his general presence than anything, as he had a habit of finding that last nerve you had in you and toying with it while a smirk played on his face the entire time.

But tonight, for some reason, things were different. Maybe it had something to do with the way Ville's shirt was about three times too small or the fact that his jeans were way too tight considering he definitely wasn't wearing anything underneath, but that was forcibly kept at the back of your mind for now. For now, you were focused on avoiding the Finnish god of a man that seemed hellbent on getting his breath down your neck in any way he could manage.

"Nah, none of us really jam with those guys anymore. It's been a long time since we did anything like that." You were talking to some girl who had glued herself to the spot next to you on the couch in an attempt to clear your head, but all you were doing was getting more annoyed with the questions she continued to ask you. She spoke English. Ever since HIM had grown in America, it seemed everyone spoke English at these parties now.

You were a drummer a band of your own that you'd been in for years now, but all anyone could talk about was Ville's band. Funnily enough, you’d been in a band with Ville once. A long time ago, before you had even grown old enough to start smoking cigarettes. It's how you had met each other in the first place. Even then he'd been an insufferable control freak with a mouth that just never stopped when it needed to, and it had only grown worse since.

Especially because, as much as you wanted to ignore it, Ville was obsessed with you. He was obsessed with the way you wouldn't let him have you, and despite how many times you'd tried to push him away and out of your life, somehow he'd stuck. So, as it seemed, you were chronically stuck with Ville Valo trying to work his way into your pants with his sly tongue and sharp eyes for...the rest of your life.

"Hello?" The American chick snapped her fingers near your face, which made you even more annoyed, but effectively snapped you out of your trance of irritated thoughts as she looked at you expectantly. You needed a drink.

"Huh? What?" You couldn't even bring yourself past sounding inherently bored. She didn't seem to be able to sense it, however, because she jabbed a thumb towards the hallway that was just past the couch you were sitting on.

"I asked if you wanted to find a bathroom or something." She repeated, a coy grin on her lips as she spoke. You felt bad for doing it, but all you did was abruptly stand up at that moment.

"Uh...no. I'm going to go get a drink." You muttered, not sure how to properly apologize for your refusal and instead just turning and heading towards the kitchen. You'd run out of the whiskey in your cup long ago when the girl hadn't let up on her pestering questions, and you were in need of something to soothe your frazzled nerves.

However, just as you were passing the entryway out of the living room, you were dosed full of about the opposite of that. Because suddenly, without warning, Ville was right at your side.

"How's your little date going? Did she offer to suck you off yet?" He questioned right in your ear, his breath hot on your skin as he talked through the cloud of cigarette smoke he had just exhaled right in your face. You elbowed him away.

"Yeah, she did. I'm about to go right back over there." You said dryly, thankful that the kitchen was a little clearer of people and gave you room to breathe. Well, as much room as you could get with Ville as close as he was.

"Oh, yeah? Pussy is your thing now?" Thankfully, Ville had enough humility to lean right into your ear instead of blurting it out to the whole kitchen, but your ears still went red regardless. "I didn't know you switched teams."

Ville was bisexual. Proudly, loudly so. There was no one that he couldn't have, and he was very obvious about his boasting the fact. You were not bisexual, nor did you like showcasing your sexuality to every living being on the planet, and he knew it. He knew it, and he played into it at every opportunity he possibly could.

"Will you shut the fuck up? I'm sure she'll stick her hand down your pants if you ask nicely." You shot back as you poured some of the dwindling bottle of whiskey into your cup. You were silently wondering if it was possible to drink enough to where you would go deaf and not have to listen to this anymore.

"Nah, that's too easy." His tone was sly and sure, and you couldn't help but look over at him with an unimpressed stare. God, he was a fucking piece. An egotistical, relentless piece. "I was actually planning on stealing you from her. That'll really me going."

"I'm off the menu. You're pissing me off." You said dismissively, taking a long sip of your whiskey and raising your eyebrows at him over the rim of your cup. You were around the same height and build, but for some reason, in his completely black outfit and caked-on eyeliner, he seemed bigger somehow. Maybe it had something to do with the way he had set a hand on the counter right next to your hip to half-cage you in.

"Why? We're just talking." He was acting like he couldn't see his own actions, and he was also lying out of his ass. You scoffed and got around him to start heading out of the kitchen.

"Because you're so goddamn horny all the time. Relax." That was your last piece of advice before you made your escape, suddenly becoming aware of how fast your heart had been beating due to Ville's close proximity.

Okay. You would be lying to yourself if you said you didn't find him attractive. You actually found him extremely attractive, as did everyone else in the entire goddamn world, but his constant cocksure attitude annoyed the shit out of you. Mostly because of how worked up he could get you with, say, a single hand on the counter by your hip. God fucking damn it.

You decided that going outside to sit out in the fresh air would be your best bet for calming down a bit. Your body felt overheated and your chest felt tight, so the first breath of sharp air where it was still cold during the nights immediately began to soothe the irritation hot on your skin. There was almost no one outside, so you were able to light a cigarette and stand on the edge of the deck in peace as you let your thoughts run wild.

You knew Ville had an end goal in mind tonight, and you knew that end goal was you. And, if you were being perfectly, completely honest with yourself, you weren't exactly sure how strong your will was. You hadn't seen Ville in a while before tonight, and as much as it was embarrassing to admit, you'd been thinking about him. A lot. Not because you missed him or anything...you just liked to think about him sometimes. He was a very interesting person, after all. Ville knew perfectly well how to be slightly more than bearable when he put some effort in.

You knew he was going to come find you, so all you did was sit down on the porch swing, light a second cigarette, and wait. It couldn't hurt to talk a little more, right? Besides, maybe he'd actually used some common sense and took your advice for once.

You got around ten minutes to yourself before you heard the door open behind you, and then footsteps on the deck signaling that someone had come outside. You didn't look back just in case it was just someone leaving, but it wasn't long before you were met with the smell of Marlboro Lights and then the feeling of Ville dropping right down next to you on the porch swing.

"That party fucking sucks. Everyone's stoned and no one wants to drink." He grumbled, and you turned your head slowly in his direction to see him with a deep set frown on his face. You tried not to laugh, because no one drank enough when they were compared to Ville Valo.

"I think a little weed would be good for you." You muttered, half-aware of how close he was to you as your arm brushed his when you lifted your hand to take a drag off of your almost-cashed cigarette. He huffed out a sour laugh at that, head fully turned so that he could shamelessly stare at you.

"You know, I like it when you're in a bitchy mood. Makes you hotter." Once again, he was close to your ear again, and your breath caught in your throat when he slid his arm over the back of the swing so that it just brushed the back of your head. When you didn't have a quick retort to his words, he let out a baritone hum. "I want you."

"You just haven't gotten any in a few days." You accused tightly, fighting hard to keep your eyes on his and off of his lips as you spoke. But you couldn't hide your gasp when he suddenly leaned even further in and pressed his lips to your neck, his tongue touching just slightly to your skin as he inhaled against you.

"Even if I hadn't, it wouldn't matter. You know how bad I fucking want you." He was still kissing at your neck, and even though you were practically shaking under his touch, you were letting him. He didn't seem to mind that there were still a couple of people outside that could've easily seen the two of you, and you were too startled to pay attention.

You knew he was right. You were more than aware of how much he wanted you, and how long he'd wanted you, and now that you'd crossed the line to where you'd allowed his lips on you, that same want was starting to rise in your own chest.

So for once, you made the move. You forced him back from your neck, and as soon as he looked at you with burning hunger in his pretty green eyes, you kissed him, setting one hand on his thigh. Your heart had gone right back to pounding in your chest, but he did nothing but deepen the kiss, his hand that wasn't over the back of the swing setting over yours before pushing it higher up his own thigh.

"I wanna fuck you. Now." He breathed against your lips, his eyes now plagued with desperation where he had looked so incredibly sure of himself before. It was clear that Ville Valo only had the upper hand until your hand was anywhere near his dick.

"Do you actually want to fuck me, or do you just want your dick sucked?" You weren't going unless this was going to be something more than Ville proving that he truly could have anyone he wanted. Even if you could see him getting hard in his jeans an could feel yourself reaching the same status.

"Who says I'll be the one getting my dick sucked? Do you think I have no manners?" It didn't take him long to find his footing again, and then he was catching you in another kiss, his hips pushing unconsciously towards your hand. "Come with me."

You kind of felt like a teenager again as you both simultaneously shot out of your seats to rush back into the house, you with desperate need no doubt plastered all over your face and Ville with a satisfied smirk on his as you shoved yourselves back into the mess of people inside. You were glad that it was pretty packed and that everyone was too intoxicated to pay attention to anything other than themselves, because you were a lot less cool with walking through a large group of people with a raging hard-on than Ville was.

The second that Ville located an empty bedroom, he was yanking you inside and the door was being slammed shut loudly. You were then pressed right up against it, Ville's hands tight on your hips as his lips crashed back to yours.

"I'm so fucking hard right now. Please." You groaned as he purposely ground his hips against yours, holding you in place so that you could do nothing but feel how equally hard he was through the fabric of both of your pants. He let his lips trail down to your jaw, one hand moving from your hip to the button of your jeans.

"Look how nicely you beg. Who would've thought it would be that easy." He crooned, easily undoing the button before he was pulling your zipper open. He then groaned right over the sound of your defiant huff as he slid a hand into your jeans and cupped your aching cock through your boxer briefs. "You're off the menu, huh?"

"Shut up. It's not my fault you never—never leave me alone." You were having an extremely hard time forming full sentences as he continued to rub his hand against your hard-on while he pushed your jeans lower on your hips with his free hand, but you were managing. "Stop playing with me."

"Fine. Be that way." And then, with an elegance that only Ville Valo himself could muster, he dropped right down onto his knees in front of you, his fingers staying at your waistband before he was pulling both your boxers and your jeans down to free your cock. "Fuck."

You were frozen as you watched him intently, lip drawn between your teeth as you waited for him to make his move. You then let out a whimper when he looked up at you before dragging his tongue along the underside of your cock, shooting harsh shocks of pleasure through your stomach.

As he began to press kisses all along your cock, his lips smearing precum and being left with a thin sheen as he did so, your hand made its way tightly into his hair. It had grown considerably since you'd last seen him, and you liked how it looked on him. You also liked how his lips were looking all over your cock at the moment.

Just as you were about to open your mouth and tell him to stop teasing, because you could tell by the glint in his eyes that that was exactly what he was doing, he finally wrapped his hand around your cock. You gasped a lot louder than what you would've liked as he began to pump his hand, your voice only going louder when he wrapped his lips around your tip after his hand.

"Holy fuck. Holy fuck." You mumbled as he swirled his tongue over your slit, your grip in his hair holding him in place and making sure that he couldn't pull back and tease you any more if he tried. He only hummed before letting his hand drop and taking you fully into his mouth, his head bobbing slowly and in turn pulling a full moan from your lips at the feeling of his warm mouth completely enveloping your cock.

Ville was talented in a multitude of ways. First of all, he had those eyes that always made people look twice no matter how hard they tried not to, and he knew how to use them. He was staring up at you now as he took your cock almost all the way in his mouth and sucked with a talent you knew you didn't have, and somehow, despite your best intentions, you couldn't seem to stop yourself from shallowly thrusting into his mouth as a result. He had also been extremely successful in getting you to what felt like the most desperate you'd ever been in record time.

"Feels so good. Don't stop." You breathed, head falling back against the door. You felt a little bad considering you were staring to essentially fuck his mouth, but you couldn't help yourself, and he didn't seem to care too much. In fact, he had both hands on your thighs, and was still bobbing his head to suck you down further despite the fact.

Until he wasn't.

Your eyes shot open as suddenly his head wasn't in your hand and his mouth wasn't on your cock anymore, only to see him getting up off his knees and taking his shirt off. At your devastated look, he just snickered.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't want you to cum until my cock is in you." He said boldly, tossing his shirt to the floor before he was reaching out to grab your wrist and pulling you away from the door. "C'mon. Do you actually want to fuck me, or do you just want your dick sucked?"

Using your own words against you. How incredibly Ville of him.

You allowed him to pull your shirt over your head as you simultaneously kicked your jeans and boxers the rest of the way off, your chests pressed together and your lips on his the second that space allowed for it. You kissed him sloppily as your hand pushed between the two of you to get his button open and his zipper down, your head eventually dropping out of the kiss so that you could focus your shaky hands while Ville's lips just fell to your shoulder instead.

"You smell good." He said coyly, a sigh of slight relief falling from his lips as you finally got the zipper of his pants down and, in turn, freed his hard and leaking cock where he wasn't wearing any underwear. "You fucking tasted good, too."

Your kisses only got sloppier as the two of you messily fumbled onto the bed, mouths never separating as Ville landed half-on top of you with his hand low on your hip. When you finally broke apart for air, you looked around the room you were in, which definitely looked like someone's bedroom and not a guest room. Oh well.

"We don't have any lube." You pointed out, looking to him for what his magical solution was going to be considering he looked nothing but relaxed. He also looked around the room then before settling on the nightstand on his side of the bed. He leaned over and pulled the drawer open, clearly trying his luck.

"Can you put...coconut oil in your ass?" He asked as he came back with a small container in his hand, amusement playing on his features as he waved it towards your face. You shrugged.

"Good enough." You kissed him again as he unscrewed the jar with his free hand, savoring the taste of his tongue in your mouth while you pushed your fingers back through his hair. "Hurry up."

"Easy, easy, easy, sweetheart. I just want you to feel good." He cooed, coaxing your leg up over his hip before his hand was brushing down your hip and then over your ass.

When you felt his fingers push gently at your hole, you gasped against his lips, your whole body startling slightly as he shushed you and began to circle his finger slowly. The coconut oil was thankfully warm, and before long he was pressing his finger into you, nipping at your lip gently when you moaned and let your cheek fall to his shoulder where his arm was resting under your head.

"More. Feels so good." You breathed, dropping your hand to cup his cheek as he ghosted his lips over yours but never closed the gap. You knew he wanted to look at you, because at his very core Ville was a voyeur through-and-through, but your head was spinning under the intensity of his gaze, and you needed him. When you gasped his name softly as he continued to pump his finger inside of you, he dipped his head to instead kiss and suck along your jaw, his lips dragging smoothly across your skin with every kiss.

"Stop whining and I'll give you whatever you want." He said just as he pushed a second finger into you, leaning back to give you that coy, self-assured look again before you pulled him in for a kiss to shut him up.

By the time Ville had fully prepped you, you were practically shaking under his touch, cock almost painfully hard and dripping against your abdomen as you whined and gasped against his lips.

“I’m ready. Please. I need you so fucking bad right now.” You begged, unable to take the slow drag of what was now three of his fingers inside you any more. Ville, despite not having been touched at all yet, was breathing almost as raggedly as you were, and he let out a breath before he gently pulled his fingers out of you.

“You want my cock?” He asked in your ear as his lips ghosted over the edge of your jaw, his tone bordering on condescending as you watched him gather more coconut oil on his hand before he was fisting his cock and beginning to stroke himself slowly to coat his skin in the slick substance.

You tried to snap something back. You really wanted to, too. That tone of voice he used so often was usually the one that annoyed you the most, that made you hate him, but now all it did was make you feel even harder.

“Yes. Need you inside me.” You didn’t even care about sounding desperate. It wasn’t like he couldn’t read it in every aspect of your body language, anyway. He grinned then, blissed slyness clouding his features as his slick hand pulled your leg completely up and over his hip before he was reaching down to position the head of his cock at your entrance.

“Tell me how bad you want it.” Okay. Now he was pushing it. You death stared him, because he was so close to being inside you, and yet he was still playing ganes. And all he did was meet that stare head-on and wait. So you took a deep breath and bit the inside of your cheek.

“I’m so hard it hurts. So please, put your cock inside of me and fuck me before I fucking explode.” You said tightly, not sounding as intimidating as you had intended but still snarky enough to do. His grin only went wider.

“Good boy. You’re such a sweetheart, you know that?” And with that, after what felt like hours upon hours of torture, he was pushing into you, moving slowly with his eyes on yours to gauge your reaction. Your eyes fell closed as your lips parted in a silent moan, your arousal furthered by his deep groan as he finally bottomed out inside of you with one hand gripping your hip tightly. “Shit, you’re tight.”

“Move.” You gasped, your hand moving from where it had been resting loosely on his jaw back up into his hair to pull because it felt like you could do nothing else. You were completely at his mercy, and you knew by the heated look in his eyes that he could easily tell. The first full thrust of his cock into you pulled a moan out of both of you, and then Ville was quickly finding pace, his hand on your hip holding you still on his thrusts as he began to fuck you smoothly.

“God, you have no idea how much I’ve wanted you. You feel so good.” Ville voice was breathy and his eyes were shut tight, and you had never seen such a beautiful sight in your life. There wasn’t a sight better in the world than Ville Valo fucked out and shut up.

You could only moan in response, rolling your hips down on his cock as he fucked into you with increasing force. His voice was low in his throat as he grunted and groaned with each thrust, and every little sound felt like it was going right to your cock. That feeling as amplified when suddenly the hand that was under your head suddenly laced his fingers into your hair, and then he was pressing his forehead to yours.

“You’re taking my cock so fucking well. Does that feel good, sweetheart?” He goaded, lips curling into a smirk despite his fucked-out state when he thrusted particularly harshly into you and pulled a sharp cry from your lips. If his cock hadn’t been buried balls-deep inside of you, you would’ve snapped at him for calling you sweetheart, but all you did instead was nod vigorously with your forehead still pressed to his.

“Yeah—yeah. Feels so good. Keep fucking going.” You gasped out, a desperate whimper rising in your throat as he pulled harder at your hair to keep your head in perfect position so that he could stare right into your eyes. You couldn’t take it. You needed more. “Touch me.”

“Say please, pretty boy. You’re not in fucking charge, here.” He pressed, his hand easing its pressure on your hip telling you that you were going to get what you want despite his threat. You struggled to get enough air into your lungs to respond, your head spinning with pleasure at the feeling of his tip hitting your sweet spot over and over again.

“Please. Please, I need it so bad.” You whimpered, meeting his gaze despite wanting to shrink away from his intimidating stare so that he could see how needy you were. You had never once been this desperate and quick to beg, and you hated that Ville had been the one to bring it out of you.

Ville groaned deeply at the sound of you begging him, and then his slick fingers completely left your hip before they were wrapping around your neglected cock. You fully cried out at the feeling, and then you were bucking up into the friction of his fingers wrapped around you before he could even get the chance to move his hand.

“I’m not gonna last long if you keep moving like that.” Ville muttered, referencing how you had started to essentially thrust down on his cock and then up into his hand all in one fluid motion. You leaned in to kiss him again, because you were trying to distract yourself from cumming right then and there.

“I don’t care. I’m close.” It probably wasn’t very hard to tell, but you egged him on regardless, licking into his mouth hungrily to at least half cover the moans and whimpers that were coming out of your mouth in a steady stream at the dual pleasure of his hand pumping your cock and his cock slamming into you mercilessly.

“You gonna let me cum inside you?” He asked in between kisses, his voice drawn apart and breathy as he tried to maintain the facade that he wasn’t as close as you were. You nodded immediately, unable to verbally respond due to the fact that your cock was starting to twitch, and the fact that you were about ten seconds away from reaching your climax whether you liked or not.

As both of you chased your own highs, the only sound that could be heard in the borrowed bedroom was the sound of skin on skin and the chorus of moans spilling between both you and Ville, hands still equally tight in each other’s hair and lips still sloppily locked together. And, at that moment, you could no longer hold back.

“I’m gonna—I can’t—“ You couldn’t even properly warn him before you were cumming, spilling onto his hand, your stomach, his stomach, and all over the sheets below the both of you as you whimpered and tried and failed to inhale air as he continued to fuck you right through it. He groaned at the sight of both of you covered in your cum before his hips stuttered at then he was cumming too, the feeling of his release spilling into you giving you a full-body aftershock.

“Holy shit.” Ville breathed, his rapid breath hitting your cheek as he thrusted shallowly into you while you both came down from your highs with shaky limbs tangled together. His grip went lax in your hair then, and it made you realize that you still hadn’t done the same to his. You let your hand drop, fingers brushing against his cheek as you looked at him with slightly parted lips.

You had just been fucked by Ville Valo. Holy shit.

You had expected yourself to feel a least a little bit of regret after all of this (actually a lot, if you were being honest with yourself), but as you finally pulled yourselves to draw apart, you felt nothing but good. Really good. Albeit a little shaky, but that was hardly what you were focused on.

As you slowly redressed, which Ville had started to do the same behind you, you startled a little bit when you suddenly felt his arms circle around your hips and his chin dip to your shoulders just as you got the zipper of your jeans back up. Neither of you had gotten your shirts back on yet, and you could feel his overheated skin pressed completely against yours.

“Come home with me tonight so I don’t have to miss you.” He mumbled, kissing gently at your neck as he dragged his nails just barely across your skin. You felt a grin forming on your lips, and you turned in his arms.

“You miss me?” He was just full of surprises tonight. He grinned right back, his fingers finding your belt loops as he held you in place so that you couldn’t get away from him (not that you wanted to).

“Yeah. Was I not open enough with my girl crush?” He teased, his hand resting on your ribs making you breathe a little unevenly as he visually looked you over. “I like when they play hard to get.”

“Whatever.” You muttered as he broke away to grab his shirt, thankful that he was turned away so that he couldn’t see the pinkish tinge to your cheeks. You didn’t know what had gotten into you (Ville, mainly), but it was fucking embarrassing.

By the time you were both fully clothed once again and Ville had lit a fresh cigarette that he let you have a singular drag off of before he hogged it for himself, you had decided that you were indeed going home with him. Why not, if he was that talented in bed.

You were consciously aware of the fact that you’d left a huge, sticky mess in the middle of whoever owned this house’s bed, but you were too focused on the lure of Ville’s green eyes as he watched you every second that he wasn’t touching you to care. At least you’d had the decency to lick each other clean instead of wiping everything on the comforter.

Just as you were getting ready to open the door, preparing yourself for at least a couple knowing looks considering you and Ville both definitely looked like you’d been doing exactly what you’d just been doing, Ville suddenly darted back to the bed and came forward with the jar of coconut oil. When you deadpanned at him, he threw a hand in the air.

"What? This stuff is fucking great. Makes you smell good enough to eat." He hummed, holding you back from going any further by the back loop of your jeans  before he kissed you one last time. "You can lick it off my cock when we get to my place."

Fucking Christ. Now you were definitely going with him.

definitely not my jam. i like both the harpsichord and the weird stuttery vocal samples and the pounding drums and guitar but i don't think they meld together well into anything cohesive. feels less than the sum of its parts. vocals didn't do anything for me either. it was interesting, though!

rating: 3/10 favourite lyric: i dont even know what language that is. finnish??

so bored so i’m going to do this

1. odd question regarding the true part but, yes my name is zaria.

2. december 1st

3. 5’4”

4. taken by a pumpkin 🙂

5. i really like to apply three cute words together to get a good url.

6. i personally can adore both but if i had to chose, dogs. bigger dogs though because i don’t feel fond of smaller dog breeds lol. older cats are really cool.

7. as far as live action, i really like indie movies or films that generally focus on the slice of life genre. also films exploring a character navigating growth or love. i’m open to a lot of animation too but i adore surrealism and similar genres as my live action preferences for that too.

8. i really do wish i read more. its pretty difficult with adhd/autism but i do find myself fascinated with early 1900s children’s book illustrations.

9. both of my ears are pierced and i don’t want anymore.

10. i’ve always wanted to go to a safe meadow with flowers and sit under a large tree while letting a cute radio play 60s indie garage rock. my boyfriend and i will have a large quilted blanket out with a beautiful and classy packed picnic lunch with glassware and cute napkins. we have sandwiches, soup, iced tea, chocolates and a charcuterie board. different types of cheeses with honey and jams and meat for him. we laugh at weird jokes we make, play card games, maybe do arts and crafts together and watch the sunset. maybe watch the stars too. bonus to be near a river running quietly the whole time.

11. black iced coffee!

12. hard question to answer. i generally really dislike the idea that my passions have to intertwine with unhealthy capitalistic methods just to make ends meet. …i know there’s more optimistic ways to view that but i’m completely indifferent about pursuing a conventional idea of a career. i don’t have time or connections to do it but if possible something involving freelance art commissions or comics would be cool.

13. i don’t have this.

14. tofu pho easily! i can never get tired of it.

15. year of the tiger. tigers are cute but i wish it was rabbit!

16. i like knitting, baking and journaling.

12, 36 (can be a musical too), 69 (nice)?

Thank you!

12: what's your favorite planet?

Earth, and as a species, we should do a better job taking care of it.

36: which band's sound would fit your mood right now?

Oingo Boingo, apparently. I remembered their music exists earlier today and I've been jamming along my favourite tunes for a while now.

69: what are your favorite board games?

I haven't played a board game in years. Does Civilization VI count? If not, I'm choosing Alias, because I'm great at that and it feels nice (nice) to win. Seriously, you don't want to be in the opposing team when I'm playing.

(For the uninitiated among us, Alias is a Finnish board game where you explain words to each other. I once played a round of musical-themed Alias with the person who developed the game. I was so much better at it than him.)

when u get this u have to put 5 songs 🎵 u actually listen to, publicly. then, send this to 10 others (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨

Thank you so much for tagging me @lovethistoomuch! 💖

This is probably my favorite song ever besides "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. I could listen to this on repeat countless times - and I have. This is also a perfect song for a roadtrip when you're driving in the summer, the sun still in the sky, slowly going down the horizon.

I'm old, so I don't really follow what's new in the music biz these days, but sometimes I take a chance to listen to some new artist I don't know and am positively surprised. Olivia Rodrigo and her album "SOUR" was one of those positive surprises.

The Gunners sing "I've been around for a long, long years" in their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil", but somehow I hadn't heard "Welcome To The Jungle", or at least hadn't paid attention to it until this year when I heard it on a hockey game.

This is a cover by The Smashing Pumpkins of Depeche Mode's song of the same name. Both versions are really good even if I slightly prefer the original. The lyrics "I'm taking a ride with my best friend" hit differently when you're actually riding in a car with your best friend. ❤️

This is an underground Finnish artist I found on YouTube last year. I was really surprised that his songs can be found on Spotify. This is just a great and upbeat retrowave jam.

 

So there you have a small sample of all the music I listen to. I'm not sure who to tag, but here we go: @disdaidal, @morewyckedthanyou, @pohjanneito, @oceluna, @dedlit, @ted-imgoingmad & @hedoublehockeystix + anyone else who wants to do this. No pressure, you absolutely don't have to do this, but if you do, I'm always interested in what other people listen to! 💖

Top 5 tattoos designs

this is a hard one! i don’t think that there are many universal designs that are always great, it depends so much of the person and the placement and the execution obviously. but i’ll rank some general ideas that i like to see on people:

moomins. as a finnish person I don’t think you can really go wrong with tattooing moomin character(s) on you. i find that it also tells a lot which character the person tattoos on them! the designs are usually simple and cute, brings a lot of nostalgia. and if you want you can do them in lots of art styles.

the medusa tattoo. it has a pretty dark history but it’s a powerful symbol and people are very brave for getting the tattoo. and as a design it’s very eye-catching and provocative.

i love horror-y designs in general, with a bit of body horror or monsters thrown in there. blackwork looks cool but i’ve seen a few with colors as well. one really original design i saw tattooed on a friend of a friend who had a woman with two faces, one normal and one very distressed and dark, it was one of the coolest tattoos i’ve ever seen.

call me basic but all nature-inspired tattoos are my jam. the more there is variation the better. different flowers and plants, mushrooms, all that. one of those that depends a lot on what & where & who. i love those big plant-tattoos on people’s sides that go over your hip, like an ivy for example.

skeletons. i think skeletons are and look cool and you can do tons with them. they can be done in humorous ways and then the horror style, it’s really anyone’s game. or, if we wanna go that route, just parts of the skeleton tattooed on corresponding parts of your body. i haven’t seen a lot of animal skeleton designs outside a few skulls but that would be interesting as well.

but as always with tattoos i think if it looks cool it looks cool & if a person has a story behind it it’s great, not necessary but love that for them. forgot to add but tattoos that have cultural significance are all so nice & with the longstanding tattooing culture it’s so cool that the traditions go on despite everything, like the tā moko of the māori people. thank u once again for the question!

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go

#sorry for the rabling answer lol #ask games #asks

HARTFORD WOLF PACK SWEEP PRESEASON OVER BRIDGEPORT ISLANDERS

WOLF PACK SWEEP PRESEASON OVER ISLANDERS WITH A 5-1 VICTORY AT TRINITY COLLEGE By: Alex Thomas, Hartford Wolf Pack HARTFORD, CT – The Hartford Wolf Pack completed a sweep of their preseason home-and-home series with the Bridgeport Islanders on Friday night. Five different Wolf Pack players scored as Hartford came away with a 5-1 victory on the campus of Trinity College. Tim Gettinger would put the Wolf Pack back in front for good, just 6:08 into the middle stanza. Defenseman Brandon Scanlin fired a wrist shot from the high slot toward the Islander goal, where Gettinger was positioned. In front of Islander starter Jakub Skarek, Gettinger tipped the shot home for his first preseason goal and Hartford’s first five-on-five goal of the contest. The Wolf Pack would open the scoring with a powerplay goal, their third of the preseason. Tanner Fritz hit Lauri Pajuniemi with a cross-ice pass, setting up the Finnish forward on the far side of the Islander zone. Pajuniemi then sent a pass to the goal crease, where Turner Elson was stationed. The veteran Elson would tap home his first goal of the preseason at 9:09 of the opening frame. The Islanders would respond, scoring the game’s first five-on-five goal in the final minute of the opening period. Ryan MacKinnon fired a shot from the point that found its way through traffic and by Wolf Pack starter Louis Domingue. The goal was MacKinnon’s first of the preseason. Gettinger’s redirection of the Scanlin shot kickstarted a strong middle stanza for the Pack. Bobby Trivigno would jam home a rebound to extend the Hartford lead to 3-1 at 14:07. Austin Rueschhoff fired a shot at Islander goalie Cory Schneider, who played the second half of the game, after collecting possession in the offensive zone. The shot created a rebound, which Trivigno pounced on for his first goal of the exhibition season. Hartford would take a 4-1 lead 5:06 into the third period as Karl Henriksson deposited his first of the preseason. Defenseman Tim Theocharidis carried the puck deep into the Islander zone, eventually swinging a pass to Henriksson at the side of the net. Henriksson collected the pass and beat Schneider, allowing Hartford to pull away. Bridgeport had a golden opportunity to draw back into the game in the final ten minutes, as Jimmy Lambert was awarded a penalty shot. Lambert, however, was denied by Domingue on the try, keeping Hartford’s lead at three. Tanner Fritz then finished the scoring on this night, firing home his first of the preseason at 14:27 of the third to make it 5-1 for Hartford. The Wolf Pack open the 2022-23 season on Friday, October 14th, when they visit the Charlotte Checkers at 7:00 p.m. The club hosts its home opener on Saturday, October 22nd, at 7:00 p.m. when the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins come to town.

25 Authentic Finnish Recipes and Foods (2022)

Are Finnish recipes a smart option to include on your menu? Many individuals will tell you that the lack of fresh vegetables and the bitterly cold environment make Finnish food inferior to that of its neighbors. I’ll present you with a different image though.

Whatever freshness Finnish food may lack, they make up for with flavor and creativity. This essay will show you how to include such unusual dishes into your menu in a variety of ways.

Jump to Old Style Finnish Recipes and Food Jump to Modern Finnish Recipes and Food Jump to 25 Authentic Finnish Recipes and Foods

Traditional Finnish Recipes and the Finnish food culture was mainly set on farming going all the way before recorded history. Still, agriculture showed to be insecure and non-effective due to the extremely cold temperatures. Having a safe way of life thus required adaptation of food from nature to survive the failure of crops. Since there was a shortage in milking, and the animals being slaughtered could not exhaust the population’s basic needs, fishing and hunting proved to be good sources of proteins.

Nevertheless, the Finns have assimilated into their dishes additional international influences like Spanish and Asian fusions that are taking place in some of their restaurants. Trends such as sustainability and organic foods have ever-increasing roles to play, including the demand for vegan and vegetarian diets. Tanttu says that even though most professional cooking has classic French cuisine as a basis, the modern Finnish recipe creators do not forget their history and infuse their twist into each dish.

Old Style Finnish Recipes and Food

All fish types are popular all over the Finnish recipes chart, with the specialty being smoked fish, even though it can appear steamed, grilled, pickled, or grilled. The salted fish was common throughout the country, mainly accompanied by potatoes and bread. The coastal areas mostly had the Baltic herring, which was grilled over a fire on a wooden skewer. Since fishes are seasonal, salmon and perch are common in spring and summer. At the same time, crayfish has always found its prominence between July and August, which mostly leads to the organization of large crayfish parties.

As far as meats go, Finnish food are no different from its northern Europe neighbors in being the carnivore’s paradise. Traditionally, they used meats of all animals as food, except the horseflesh. The crown jewel in the meats section of traditional Finnish recipes is the reindeer, in addition to which you will find excellent game birds. The Finns from the countryside slaughtered just once a year, where they kept the fat, entrails, and blood for processing to make a diverse number of dishes.

The Finns have not found it in their hearts to abandon wild berries in the main courses of their diets; they have also brought them into their desserts. The most common is the Arctic berry, also known as lingonberry, which is sour when eaten raw but makes excellent compote, jam, liqueur, and wine. It has been a part of authentic Finnish recipes since the early times. Then comes the yellow or bright orange cloudberry growing in the swampy terrain. It has a tart, earthy flavor that blends well with game meat. Some other berries include rowan berries, bilberries, and sea buckthorn berries.

As for their drinks, the Finns love their alcohol, with vodka being a favorite tipple that has brought names such Koskenkorva and Finlandia to world fame. What might not be known to outsiders as being part of traditional Finnish recipes are the fruit wines they make from raspberries, strawberries, white-, red- and blackcurrants. In the cold winter months, they warm themselves up with the delicious Gloggi, which is more like a mulled wine with spices and is at times topped up with rum or brandy. Those who are adventurous opt for the Salmiac or licorice vodka, an acquired taste.

Modern Finnish Recipes and Food

Traditional Finnish recipes are based on a culture of “eat-to-live,” whose sole design was giving people strength and enabling hard work. It has passed through vigorous evolutionary processes that have gradually transformed into a delicacy worth the dime.

The Finnish recipes might not yet be acclaimed worldwide for their culinary delights, but the last decade has been experiencing a quiet food revolution. There is a new generation of chefs who are not scared of mixing up things, opening new food joints, and excellently using the local products to work their magic. These chefs do not fear innovations, which has seen them bring fresh ingredients like lingonberries and arctic clouds to the table as accompaniments to reindeer, elk, bear, or even beaver.

Finland has an abundance of fields, forests, lakes, and a long coastline, bringing a veritable larder to their doorsteps. The modern chefs and restauranteurs have been swift in cottoning on this by using whatever is readily available to generate new delicacies. The heart of this new Finnish food is Helsinki, from where the leading chefs in 2000 developed the “Helsinki Initiative” to promote good Finnish recipe creation. Great emphasis is being placed not only on fresh local produce but is also being placed on good contact with that small-scale local producer.

Most of this new generation of  Finnish chefs have traveled broadly or gotten their education from abroad, which they are now using to fuse and mix the traditional Finnish food with ingredients and flavors of international acclaim to make huge impacts.

25 Authentic Finnish Recipes and Foods

1. Reindeer Meat Stew (Renskav)

Take a trip to Lapland with this Finnish recipe for reindeer stew with mushrooms. Renskav is a traditional reindeer meat dish prepared by the Sami people in Northern Europe. Thinly sliced reindeer steak is cooked from frozen with mushrooms and cream. A delicacy from the Arctic, and a healthy meat dish to enjoy year round.

2. Traditional Finnish Meatballs “lihapullat ja muusi”

It doesn’t come as a surprise though, Finns do love good Finnish meatballs for whatever scenario as it is comfort food for most people here in Finland.

My Finnish recipe for meatballs is a combination of all recipes I’ve made and tested over the 14 years of working as a chef in various Finnish restaurants here in Finland. Out of the many places I’ve been to, a lot serve Lihapullat as a staple dish in their menu.

3. (Riisipuuro) Finnish Rice Porridge

What could be more comforting than bowl of steaming rice porridge?

Unlike similar dishes from other countries, sugar isn’t added to the mixture but sprinkled on top just before serving. Some prefer it with a fruit broth known as “fruit soup” or a bilberry compote.

This Finland recipe for rice porridge is rarely cooked and is traditionally served at Christmas time. Traditionally an almond is hidden in the pot of porridge. Whoever finds the almond in her or his serving will have good fortune.

4. Karelian Stew Recipe

Karjalanpaisti Is the most famous Finnish recipe in Finland. If you ask a Finn to tell you a traditional Finnish dinner dish, I bet they will say this: Karelian stew aka Karjalanpaisti, in Finnish.

Originally from the Karelia region, this meal became a staple all around Finland as evacuees from the Karelia region moved around Finland after the war times in the ’40s.

5. Cabbage Rolls or Kaalikaaryleet

Cabbage rolls are pretty common dish across Europe (from my own observation anyway). I’ve seen cabbage rolls recipe in several different European cookbooks. Like many other cabbage rolls, this Finnish recipe for cabbage rolls or known as Kaalikaaryleet are stuffed with rice, cabbage and ground beef. The filling is then wrapped with whole cabbage leave. This is a complete meal on its own if you ask me.

6. Finnish Salmon Soup, or Lohikeitto

Finnish Salmon Soup, or Lohikeitto, is a simple Nordic salmon chowder and a comforting 30 minute Finnish recipe. This meal, made with a light cream broth, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of salmon, and tons of fresh dill!

The flavors are unpretentious and clean, with a traditional dill infused broth touched with allspice. I make it in the spring, of course, when wild salmon is in season, but it’s become one of my favorite winter meals, too.

7. Fried Muikuks (White Fish)

Fried muikuks in a pan belong to the classic category of fish dishes – who is a fish lover who hasn’t tasted these silver ribs coated in flour that are suitable for nibbling! This Finnish food is a favorite throughout the country.

8. Fried Vendace

Fried Vendace can be described as Finland’s own ‘fish and chips’ as the dish features a local fish that is found in Finland, served with heaps of mashed potatoes. The delightful fried Vendace or “Muikku” in Finnish melts once it enters your mouth. With every bite, the savory and rich flavor are sure to get you hooked.

9. Siskonmakkarakeitto or Sausage Soup

While looking for a Finnish recipe for this months Eat the World a few recipes stood out and I knew I couldn’t pick just one to make. This simple soup is amazing, I always forget how much we love turnips until I cook with them again.

10. Honey Baked Ham

Finnish recipe for a Honey baked ham baked in a hint of pineapple juice and basted with a deliciously buttery, sticky glaze! Let the holidays begin with a slice or two of Honey Baked Ham! Juicy and succulent on the inside with crispy, charred, sticky edges. The perfect ham for your Christmas dinner table.

10 Side Dish Finnish Recipes

11. Cabbage Casserole (called kaalilaatikko in Finnish)

Cabbage casserole is to Finns like spaghetti is to Italians, one of their favorite Finnish food items, tamales to Mexicans, and curry is to Eastern Indians. It’s almost as old as Finland itself and is an essential part of the Finnish culinary tradition. I would bet that one forkful of cabbage casserole for most Finns evokes memories of family meals and the scent of baked cabbage, probably made by grandma.

12. Rosolli or Beetroot Salad

Rosolli is a Finnish recipe for a vegetable salad that’s traditionally served at Christmas. It’s made with beetroot, potatoes, carrots, apple, onion and pickles with a tangy and sweet dressing. A delicious vegetable salad for any time of the year.

14. Kraelian Pie With Egg Butter

1.00

“This authentic Finnish recipe is very good served with Hapankaalikeitto (Finnish Sauerkraut Soup). This recipe calls for a rice filling, but other traditional fillings include mashed potatoes, meat, fish, and cheese. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05”

15. Gravlax

Gravlax is fresh salmon that’s been cured with a combination of salt and sugar. It’s arguably the ultimate easy-to-make luxury food in the world! This homemade Cured Salmon Gravlax recipe can be made with a small fillet or whole side of salmon, and costs a fraction of store bought. The beauty of this authentic Finnish recipe for cured salmon is that you can control the salt so it’s not too salty and it’s got a fresh herb flavor that you’ll never get in a packet!

16. Kalakukko

I love this authentic Finnish recipe for Kalakukko! This is my second version of the pie. There is another u mashenki. But they are all different. This cake made of rye flour with fish and brisket is cooked for a long time, but stored for a long time. It is convenient to take with you on a journey into nature, because it combines rye bread and a full dish.

17. Mykyrokka – Savonian Blood Dumpling Soup

Blodpalt is an authentic Finnish recipe that makes use of the reindeer blood, and has been prepared in Sámi kitchens for hundreds of years, normally throughout the long dark winter. Swedish Sámi food ambassador and chef Greta Hoover cooked this dish with Australian Aboriginal elder Aunty Beryl during Indigenous Terra Madre, held in Jokkmokk, Sweden last month and hosted by Slow Food Sápmi.

18. Lohikeitto – Salmon Soup With Cream

Lohikeitto is a traditional Finnish recipe, the absolutely delicious salmon soup recipe that is popular in Nordic countries. It’s dilly, creamy, buttery and has huge chunks of salmon and hearty vegetables. Not only does it taste amazing but it also comes together in just 30 minutes.

19. Ruisleipa (rye bread)

This Finnish recipe for Rye Bread Ruisleipä has been on my baking list for a while. And what better time to post than now, Real Bread Week, the international celebration of additive free loaves. As I write this blog, bread heads, near and far are posting their favourite bakes to encourage people to buy real bread from their local independent bakeries; bake their own real bread and support the charity behind the Real Bread Campaign.

20. Pytt i Panna Swedish Hash

The Swedish name for it means “small pieces in a pan”, and that is literally what this dish is. Small pieces of potato, onion, and sausage are all fried together in one pan, topped with a fried egg, and served with a side of pickles and beetroot.

5 Dessert Finnish Recipes

21. Piparkakut (Traditional Finnish Gingerbread Biscuits)

Piparkakut are spiced, orange-infused ginger cookies with a lovely crunch. Unlike some gingerbread cookies, these are a touch lighter and far less sticky.

But that doesn’t mean they’re not tasty! Between the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and mixed citrus peel, these will hold their own against any cookie on the plate.

22. Bread Cheese or Leipajuusto

When it comes to Finnish food, cinnamon rolls and this bread cheese = leipäjuusto. It is a non-fermented cheese with a chewy texture. The cheese itself doesn’t have much flavor, and it is served with cloudberry jam, which is also synonymous with Finland.

23. Salty Licorice or Salmiakki

People who love black licorice will flip for these assertively flavored candies. This is another Finnish food that we have to give the credit for to Sweden. Salty licorice, or s

Salmiakki, is an absolute Finnish favorite. It should not be confused with sweet licorice. Salty licorice is flavored with ammonium chloride, giving it a salty taste.

24. Creamy Finnish Blueberry Pie (Mustikkapiirakka)

Finnish blueberry pie, Mustikkapiirakka, is a popular Finnish dessert. A layer of blueberries are buried in a creamy custard topping on a cookie-like crust. This easy recipe is made with ingredients that are easy to find in North America.

[susiron]

I love Webtoons and its ability to help my ADHD ass keep up with comics. The artists that post their comics there deserve a lot of love and support, and I wanna share my favorites (in no particular order)! Some of them are more popular than others, while some are newer or I had to dig for them.

1. Castle Swimmer

This Webtoon got me to download the app in the first place. It’s a very cute comic about gay merpeople and prophecies and I love it dearly. It has lovely representation (trans, gay, bi, and even ace characters!), an adorable art style, and I love the unfolding story of it. Seeing a merpeople comic that’s entirely underwater and without humans is really cool too. It has some pretty rad fish and monster designs also, including the cutest little axolotl-puppy.

2. Lumine

Another super cute one. It involves werewolf (and weredog) people and witches. I love the art and the dynamic between the two main characters. The character designs are all so simple but so lovely. I’m obsessed with how they draw paws.

3. Suitor Armor

I love literally everything about this comic. The characters, the art, the story. It’s on hiatus right now and I’ll be racing to read it once it returns. It’s about fairies, magic, and the most precious suit of armor since Alphonse Elric. It also has some great representation and the loveliest drawn hair.

4. The Croaking

Very gay, very good. Awesome art, really interesting world building, intriguing characters and story. The romance in it is a very slow burn with lots of twists and turns and it has had me hooked for a long while now. When I first started reading it I like got no sleep to catch up with the story. It’s about a world full of avian people (people with bird wings) with a lot of racial tension between the various types of bird species.

5. Heir’s Game

It’s about a man of noble birth falling in love with one of the men fighting to become his bodyguard in a series of duels. The world building for the country the story is based in is really cool, and it’s just as gay as you might expect.

6. Everything is Fine

I just started reading this one and damn if it aint unsettling. FAIR WARNING it’s got some graphic depictions of violence, and also an early depiction of a dead dog (there are warnings in the comic for when these occur). It involves an idealistic neighborhood of people wearing these goofy cat masks, with every page slowly revealing something more fucked up going on under the tense surface.

7. Nomads

This one is very new but I’m already loving it. It’s about a dude deciding to become a “nomad” to explore a world that restricts travel otherwise. The art for it is already lovely and I’m interested to see more of the world and story!

8. AstralSounds

This one is about funky little alien dudes exploring the universe and collecting specimens to research-- as well as the intricacies of interacting with intelligent extraterrestrial life. Space is typically not my jam, but the story is interesting and I love the creature designs.

9. Equus Siderae

Anyone that consistently draws horses as well as this artist manages to deserves a medal. Seeing the artist’s work improve over the course of the comic is particularly awesome. If you want a story with animal protags, and some crazy magic shenanigans, it’s a really interesting one. 

10. Forgotten

This is another one I just started (and am not caught up with). It’s about cats solving cat murders and the art is REALLY fucking cute. I definitely need to read more of it.

11. The Little Trashmaid

Of all the comics I’ve listed here this one is the least story-driven one. You’ve possibly seen the original Little Trashmaid drawing when it made its rounds on Tumblr years ago. This comic is very cute and wholesome and it is going somewhere with its characters between all the shenanigans. Also the artist uses the comic to support cleaning up the oceans, helping bees, and other eco-friendly pursuits!

12. Fox Fires

I only started this comic a few weeks ago and I couldn’t stop reading it until I was caught up. The characters are all animals (with the main character being a raccoon dog), and the story is heavily inspired by Finnish mythology. It has some wicked elf designs and the art style is adorable.

My Favorite Fashion History Periods

Gentlefolk, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the corner where I rant about my latest obsessions! I decided a fun way to introduce this blog would be to list my favorite fashion periods.

I’m Karkki and I have absolutely no education on this field, but I just love costuming, history and clothing, so here I am. This is not supposed to be a blog where I’m authority on something (I’m not). You can join me on my journey to learn to sew better and learn more about clothing history, if that’s your jam.

These are mostly Western (women’s) fashion periods, since I don’t have enough knowledge (yet) of fashion’s of other cultures, but I’m planning to change that. The order is from present to past.

1920s

I like other 20th century fashions, but 20s is definitely my fave. I love the silhouette and the androgynous look.

Edwardian (1901-1910)

Sometimes 1910s is counted as Edwardian fashion, but it’s not Edwardian Era anymore and the silhouette is quite different (I like it too but not as much). Edwardian fashion has a gorgeous silhouette, the most amazing details and so so much lace.

1890s

This is probably my all time favorite fashion decade. It’s so extra, the drama is off the roof. Colors: bold. Patterns: strong. Details: dramatic. Sleeves: enormous.

Natural Form Era (1877-1882)

The DRAMA. I have nothing else to say.

Early Romantic Period (1830s)

The most extra period ever has to be the 1830s. Everything is so big and so much. It’s so ridiculous I could die and I love that. I like the last Regency decade too (the previous decade), it’s similar but just more toned down and tasteful, which is why it’s not on this list.

Baroque in 1640s-1670s

Giant sleeves, tits out, huge hair - Baroque in nutshell. Have you maybe caught on the pattern? What can I say, I just love huge sleeves and the drama.

Italian Renaissance in 1510s-1530s

The same theme continues. I don’t know what to tell you. Except LOOK AT THOSE SLEEVES! Renaissance as a whole was a mixed bag. In England they were sporting the hats that looks like houses and in Italy they were doing this shit. I love this shit.

1490s Italy

What I most love in this look is the hair. It just looks so nice. That long braid thing on the back and the diadem on the fore head. I also like the shift bulging in the sleeves (always obsessing over sleeves).

Old Norse Clothing

I love actual Old Norse clothing as much as I hate costuming of all the Viking movies, games and TV shows. The colors! The layering! So nice.

Ancient Baltic Finn Clothing

I love clothing of the pre-historic Baltic Finns for mostly similar reasons, but also look at that swagger!! Their jewelry was top tier. Some day I will sew myself an ancient Finnish dress (to be clear Finns are not the only Baltic Finnish tribe). I have to decide weather I’ll do the clothing from my dad’s family’s home area or mom’s. It probably comes to which looks better.

hm hm fucked around and got emo about pate laine so i wrote out the whole narrative for bucky to explain why i’m so invested in his success + wouldn’t shut up about seeing him score. under the cut, of course

ok so like — patrik/pate/patty laine. everyone knows him as the sharpshooter with the funky personal style, right? despite that, he’s actually a soft-spoken, kinda shy kid who mostly keeps to himself. he just Really likes clothes/fashion & personal style.

he’s this big, tall weedy dude. he started his hockey career as a goalie (that tracks so much with the personality), but his dad convinced him to switch to forward in middle school. he debuted in finland’s top league at only age 16. he was ranked really high in draft projections & played super well at the 2015 WJC, and ultimately got drafted 2nd overall in 2016 by the jets.

while the finnish Liiga is a really high level pro league, his lack of north american experience drew quick scrutiny in such a small but high pressure market as winnipeg. add his reclusiveness, awkwardness in english, & the very different outward appearance ‘for a hockey player’. plus some partially founded streakiness with scoring that earned him a reputation for a ‘difficult personality’ (i for one think pinning a player for streakiness says you have a lack of depth scoring that makes you over-depend on certain talents which then also creates a tougher environment to work in, but hey, i’m biased).

point is — the jets market was hard on him year in & year out and he was Always on trade rumor lists (boy why are so many of my favs treated like this), until finally last season, they traded him to columbus.

just prior to that, he had been recovering from a wrist injury that contributed to a severely hole-ridden jets roster in the 2020 playoff bubble. he played the first game of the 2021 half-season with the jets then was traded while on ir for another injury (speculation was that he also had never quite gotten 100% on the wrist).

when pate arrived in cbj, torts was still the head coach. torts & his coaching team are of course known for being ‘tough love’, which as you can imagine is not pate’s jam, especially when he finally got out from under the winnipeg microscope. most notably at one point he got in a recorded argument with an assistant coach on the bench mid-game & was sat the rest of the game. he gets a little quieter after that game but ultimately still plays his game & does moderately ok (it was a slump season for him, but a lot of commentary has since given him some grace between the trade, the coaching staff, the tumult of the cbj roster overall, & the fact we never really cleared up when he was 100% back from injury). at the end of the season, torts finally gets fired, cbj make a bunch of moves that essentially blows up the roster to emphasize the babies, & pate signs a one year extension to remain a cbj. the presumption is that he’s giving the team another year to prove he fits here & to pay him handily. otherwise, he’ll be a ufa for the first time in summer 2022. (he is for the record still only 23 years old)

to open this season (21-22), he seemed to be doing really well — he came in healthy, started with 10pts in 9 games. and then he had a muscle strain that put him out for 6 weeks. and while recovering from that, it was reported that a family emergency occurred that would require him to go back to finland — turns out his father had died suddenly & unexpectedly.

this goes back to pate actually being a shy dude who keeps to himself — he’s really close with his family & he used to say his best friends were his dad & sasha barkov (florida panther who pate grew up playing with in finland). pate has requested minimal media coverage about his father’s death & only really addressed it in one press conference when he returned from injury at the end of december.

while i’ve seen him express emotion before in interviews, mostly frustration or impatience or dry amusement with the press, this was the first time i’ve seen him just holding back tears, voice rough, hood up, exhausted. in a fucked up way, it’s also the kindest i’ve ever seen him treated by the press corps. i cannot state enough how often he has been called a diva, a flop, a bust, stand-offish, inconsistent, & just any number of things to imply his personality is ‘bad’ and the core problem of any team ‘failures’ around him.

we later found out from pate’s own admission that his father was in hospital and missed his last game before going on ir — that was the only of his games pate’s dad never watched.

in the time since, he’s scored 31pts in 26 games, including a recent 11-game point streak in late january through february. in that time he had 3 consecutive games with 2 goals (2 of those games were back to backs) and one hattrick. and he is now on a 5-game point streak.

so yeah that’s pate and at least lightly why i’d commit minor crimes for him.

((caveats: this skims over his stuff w/ finnish press bc i kinda forgot at the time i drafted the rant + that was part was in the winnipeg part of the timeline. i am aware he has been contentious to outright petty in finnish about the jets org. any long-time followers also know i love a bitch, so you’re not gonna see me pressed bout a less than graceful 21-year-old foreign pro athlete who was heavily scrutinized by a well-known harsh canadian hockey market. i also laugh when petey snipes van media or millsy snidely references fanbase controversies. 🤷🏻‍♀️ yes, i also know about the irresponsible driving. it sucks & i don’t condone it.))
