The Thing That Makes Me Sad About The Eurovision Results Is That Loreen’s Victory Lacks Everything

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

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

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

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

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

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

even though i know that realistically, seo moonjo is a dangerous psychopath serial killer who could easily stab me, a teenager with no will or know how to fight, dead in a second,,

he just

seems very pathetic to me,,

like,, i still think i could, you know, knock him down a notch with like a very well thought out insult to his insecurities

i don't think he really has any of those but I'm still sure i could manage to come up with something

This Picture From Syria Protesting War In Ukraine Actually Made Me Tear Up.

This picture from Syria protesting war in Ukraine actually made me tear up.

Abandoned by the world, destroyed and still having enough compassion to think about others.

Okay So I Just Watched "Fright Night" (from 1985) And SOMEHOW Mr. Dandrige Is Giving Me Seo Moonjo Vibes???

Okay so I just watched "Fright Night" (from 1985) and SOMEHOW Mr. Dandrige is giving me Seo Moonjo vibes??? Both are almost only around after dawn/at night, they have a love for long-sleeved tops (in dark colours), live in a weird house, and are very much queer (or well, queer-coded)????

it is so funny to me that palamedes and camilla are set up as The Reasonable People in gtn and continue to be viewed though that lens by many other characters throughout the books but every single book just strengthens the hypothesis that they are actually kind of insane. like. they are absolutely unhinged. palamedes made himself a river bubble despite all existing evidence saying it was impossible to do and camilla scraped 96 tiny skull fragments off the floor and glued them together and they shared a physical form for six months and at the end of things they chose mutual destruction rather than confront the possibility of one person continuing to exist without the other. all of these things are backed up with theorems and mathematics but it does not change the fact that they’re not quite the actions of Normal People

Alecto is just the ultimate Barbenheimer experience. She’s a hot apocalypse barbie doll, she’s the personification of billions of souls and their emotions, she’s God’s worst nightmare. She’s got a giant sword. She’s insane.

Lmao, you know what's my favourite holiday memory? I was like five or six, and my parents, my sister and I went on a holiday with a few friends of them.

One day, my parents bought some sort of bread for dinner that I ADORED. And they were like 'No, that's not for you. Don't eat it!'. Well guess what stupid me did. Exactly, I ate one.

So in the afternoon of that day, there was something about a thief on tv, and my dad told me not to steal, because, the police will always find me. So no joke, I was horrified tgat the police would arrest me for stealing bread.

So, I ran up the stairs, and fckin slipped.

I hit my head on one of the steps, but I was still fine, and then, about 5 centimeters before getting some serious brain injury, my dad catches me,

by the foot.

And like every time somebody brings this up I'm like, 'yeah, I almost had some serious brain injury because of a goddamn piece of bread'. Like, that's a story to tell
