#do you think jere is obsessed with bojan’s face??

Bojere thoughts of the day/of my life

I just really want to know exactly HOW Bojan and Jere became friends. I know we have the Jan and Bo-Jan video but like how did they choose each other to cling to initially. We know Bojan obviously wasn't the first Joker Out member to meet Jere. I just wish we had a detailed play by play of how they went from that to obsessed with each other within like a day. I think about this every day

Obviously, we'll never know exactly how it went down (we know that at first they just made faces/grinned/laughed at each other when ever they saw each other and then when they started talking Bojan was surprised because then Jere never shut up), but I am ready to give my thoughs on it, just for you anon!

Wow this got super long

Obviously I have never been to a situation like ESC, but I have been to situations where lots of people (sometimes from all over the world) are thrown together for a relatively short period of time and where everyone is facing something new and it's sort of a once-in-a-lifetime thing you really want to make the most of. You throw yourself into meeting people and talking to everyone and making connections, and you are open and eager and game for anything.

And at first it might be a bit random who you talk to, like what table you happen to sit at for lunch, but pretty soon you will start to gravitate towards the people you vibe with the most. Someone will respond to your banter and you laugh together, and they seem to be on the same wavelength, and match your energy, and pretty soon you notice that you are seeking out their company and scanning the room for them wherever you are. And at first you hang out in groups but then someone mentions that X thing you wanted to try and suddenly it's "hey should we do that together" and you are exchanging numbers and hanging out one-on-one and then it moves on to texting about where to meet and then you are sending silly memes to each other.

The JO boys seemed to have a pretty clear strategy during the pre-parties: they did ALL of them and wanted to gain as much as possible from them, and part of that strategy was making connections with other contestants and producing a lot of content with them - that's the name of the game nowadays. And that whole ESC class of '23 really seemed to take on each other, it's such a nice thing to see! They had also taken note of Käärijä since UMK, we have seen them mentioning him in interviews and wasn't Bojan practicing CCC before they ever met? So when they finally saw him in Madrid they were ready to make friends with him.

And they have told us how at his first pre-party Jere seemed to be a bit lost, everyone knew each other already and he was insecure about his English, and so JO kinda took him under their wing and spent time with him and they liked each other immidiately.

So how do you go from meeting someone to being obsessed within a day? When you hang out with someone, under those circumstances where everything is high-stakes and sped-up, and you click with them, and he's your soulmate, that's what happens. Not with anyone, but with someone special who's your soulmate, yes.

So I don't have an exact play-by-play check ao3 people have some ideas there, but apparently lots of thoughts on it anyway.

I know, it plagues me too
