Still sick so let’s talk about birthday boy Jere and the transflag. In Berlin Jere picked up a transflag and he was so confused. It turned out he had no idea what the flag even means so we (the audience) had to tell him. Jere really listened to us and genuinely seemed honored to have been trusted with the flag. I can’t type this without crying. I love this man. I took so many pictures of this moment. It was magical. (btw love the ‘Jere can’t be labelled bc he doesn’t know gender’ theories).
Wow. The käärijä Berlin gig was so much fun. Käärijä is such a good life performer, it's really incredible. There were so many funny and sweet moments <3 but also, shoutout to everyone who was there, because I think that amazing and fun atmosphere was created by everyone there together. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did <3
fuck him for singling me out, I had suddenly never worked a job in my life 😂 (he asked me what job I worked. I told him "IT" after a lot of pointing to make sure he really meant me, but he just understood that I made tea, so I mimed typing. And he went "aaah! Computer things! So you're the smart one. Not like me, I'm the monkey." (Paraphrased because aaaaah)
I'm so so happy I got to see bulbasaur cap! Käärijä in person
he threw water into the audience near the start (not the CCC water) and a few droplets caught me. Much better than with a detour through Bojan's mouth
I felt a little bad for the girl next to me filming hhh because I was excitedly yelling along 😂
the girls during icip were so good? And he interacted with them in such a lovely way? Recreated the weird run where Tommy chases him across the stage, and they all fell to the floor, and idk if Käärijä just wanted to fistbump them, but they pulled him up from the floor and he just. Did not cooperate a lot 😂 so they remarked (bc they still had the microphone) "oof, he's heavy"
he was also so so careful to get consent before touching either of the girls on stage, but in a way that felt like he just Does That? He'd also told us that we're a family and that we should kiss each other, bit that you need to ask before you kiss someone and if they say no, you don't miss them, simple as that (unsure if the family bit and kissing bit were the same banter segment)
Jesse had to come in stage and do… Idek what it was. Oh! Open a water bottle for him 😂 that was a lovely little moment
the coat?? Actually looks really awesome irl?? I did not expect that
I got a Häärijä high five at the barrier 😭
bald cap Häärijä is… Something 😂
Jesse was so good natured about us cheering him on setting up the stage 😂
he was so so touched by the number of people singing along
we chanted voittaja for him 😍
icip slays live so fucking much Holy shit
I was drenched after the concert. I jumped a whole lot (and have already seen myself on Mikke footage 😂) and I will be dead tomorrow but I think it will have been worth it
apparently he was still asleep at doors, which might have been the cause for the delay? Or 1 hour simply being a little short to get 1.6k people into the room
Jesse told the people still waiting (not us, I was already asleep at the time) to please not ask for autographs when Käärijä went to the bus but they all got handshakes and apparently a thank you speech
Salena came on stage but she didn't really know any lyrics, and a nice Finnish woman I talked to in the queue told me afterwards, “such a shame, she was so unprepared, you could wake Bojan in the middle of the night and he'd be able to just go rankka viikko ja paljon…”
I didn't actually see a lot of Salena at the beginning because we were all squatted down
It makes me so happy to see people being excited about getting the eu tour pre-sale tickets 💚 Like I'm so happy for all of you, that you too have a chance to see him in your own countries/neighbouring countries/somewhere nearer to you than Finland. I've only been in one of his gigs so far (I have tickets to 2 more) but it was probably the most fun I've ever had in a consert!
guys after seeing what’s going on with the queuing in berlin today … does anyone have any idea how it might be for munich tomorrow? i’ve never been to a concert like this before and i’m worried we won’t get good spots if we don’t start queuing at literally 7am

While not fully recovered I went to group today to talk about my experience watching Käärijä live. I’m so grateful not only for everybody who let me vent about the boy but also for him for giving me something to be this excited about again. He brought out of one of my bleakest periods of my life and has helped me find confidence in my gender identity, -expression and wellbeing. If only I could thank Jere at some point. Yet I’m also afraid to meet him and/or that I never will.
