sininen ja valkoinen is such a diaspora song

i mean obv it's pretty much specific to finnish diaspora but if you look at what it's saying it's a very diaspora sentiment

very much a "motherland is far away and i can't return; what do i do to remember it" kind of thing

this is all rather baffling to me because the dude who wrote the song has nothing preventing him from returning to finland and in fact spends time there every year. and then it captures the emotion of generations who never will

idk how the issue of whether to pay with cash or electronically is relevant to a country that doesn't use money but ns keeps sending me these kinds of issues and it's getting a bit annoying

shoutout to wikipedia for one of the very few words in finglish they actually explain by name being the word for 'strike'

me: inputs search terms in finnish
search engine: not all these results are in english would you like us to fix that

while i'm on the subject of finnish musical culture i should probably make sure y'all are aware that mieskuoro huutajat exist

i don't even know how to explain them just like. please listen to one of their performances. specifically a song you already know or it won't make sense

also i love the bizarre list of genres you get when you search for ievan polkka. like, you have the original song, the vocaloid version, nightcore of the vocaloid version, and then a fraggin metal cover

no prize for guessing which ones are finnish

just saw a post titled "why is this ancient hell demon non-binary goals" and im

because it's an ancient helldemon you dingus iz One Of Us

current gender: questionable shitpost

what's your gender?
incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!
i mean, are you a boy or a girl?
i'm a supervillain.
no like what's in your pants?

also, "making things work" is like. the most stereotypically hero-sidekick power. but also one of the most easily abused powers for Evil by which i mean actually doing good but also v much abusable for other porpoises if we're being honest
