In Norwegian 🇧🇻 :

Julenissen= santa claus (literally meaning: xmas santa) 🎅 -> very wholesome!

Jule nissen (with a space) = beating up santa ! 🤜🎅 -> not ok!

Ananasbiter = (pieces of pineapple) 🍍

-> wholesome/normal

Ananas biter (with a space) = the pineapple is biting 🍍😈 -> Run!

A space can do so much.

re: this

Smth else that annoys me is that many of my fellow Finns don't give a flying fuck about Finnish culture until it is about something that isn't actually Finnish culture. Like the Karelian pirogs/kalittas/šipainiekkus, like, if a Finn is making them at home with a recipe they learned from their Karelian grandma, how is it away from the Finn that they're partaking in a Karelian food tradition? They obviously have the ""right"" to that tradition even if they exclusively identify as a Finn, it is their family tradition. Doesn't make it a Finnish one. Why do they get so butthurt about that?!?

I kind of wanna make some kinda guide to people who feel like they "don't have their own culture" that forces them to acknowledge their culture so they can stop whining about how disenfranchised peoples are sooo meeean for not "sharing", weeeeeh. 🤦

The Halloween post I just reblogged reminded me that there is one thing I miss about Finland a lot..... kind of random and highly specific seasonal pastries!!!

Can't wait to go home for xmas and visit grandma because she'll make plum tarts & gingerbread star buns... but sadly, I'm going to miss laskiaispulla season this year :'( (Not sad about missing Runeberg season though because that's actually my least favourite Finnish treat, alongside tippaleipä xD).

Where I am now, it seems to be pretty much the same year-round, only with different decorations on top... In Germany I at least could get Zimtsterne and other xmas-specific things that I quite liked :D Though I'm not ruling out this country surprising me in December!

For the Xmas calendar can I ask Lewis and Daniel, please?

Christmas calendar Day 20

"You were right, definitely worth the walk up here"💜❤ Hope you like it! 💙💙💙 Fun fact: Aurora Borealis is called "revontulet" in Finnish, which means "fox-fires". It comes from a legend, where a fire fox (tulikettu) leaves a trail behind its tail as it runs across the sky 💗

what christmas tradition would you most like to do with nace?

I would take him to the church to sing xmas songs. Sad Finnish xmas songs really fit our really old church and also it perfectly captures the overall calm, maybe a bit longing, feeling of Finnish xmas.

A good second one would be to go pick and chop down a spruce for the xmas tree from the the bit of forest my dad owns.

Finnish Independence Day if you didn't know :) Tho I am workin today while others have a holyday, but that's ok. I like working on holidays, you never have to do anything extra, nobody bothers me, it's quiet and the pay is better.

Mostly it's a good distraction. I often feel so sad, I miss having someone to love. Loneliness feels worse on holidays and weekends. When I am working, even if ot's a short shift, I can just block ot out of my mind that I am.sad and get more things done.

Tho, do I find myself crying that there is nobody to love this xmas either? For sure. Is ot the worst thing ever? Probably not.

Besides, it's not even true that I don't have someone to love, it's just one sided and melancholy is a beautiful emotion even if it is a blue one.

Favorite color: warm bright yellow, mustard yellow & old gold, and just yellow in general. its a good colour. it makes me happy

Currently reading: idk, probably star trek fanfic my friend @rubbertplant​ was writing to give my opinion on it. i often read through my own stuff too lol, like whoah i wrote that??? ADHD has taken everything from me including my capability to read though, for real. ive been thinking of trying to listen to some audiobooks recently though, this cannot continue... its just that i also have no ears disease so idk how well that would go. determined to try though

Last song you listened to: havent been listening to music so much bc ive been playing videos instead but my last.fm has all my spotify listens so itll stay up to date on whatever i listened to last. currently seems to be “please play-bite” by pinocchioP. i often just let spotify play me whatever it recommends anyhow so theres variance. and i only started this account like a few months ago max so its not really a full picture of my music-listening

Last movie (in theaters): its not really a movie, but if it counts, the first ginga nagareboshi gin stageplay (recorded and released in finland in theaters with subs)

ginga was always huge in finland for some reason. idk. the anime is so violent though that i got really afraid of bears for some reason. theres so much blood... i never read the manga either i just knew of the anime and partook in my share of wolf roleplays (dogs were uncool! so i didnt do dog roleplays. iirc that really was my reason).

heres some funny wolves from my wolf rp days

2010. one of the first things i coloured digitally... i painstakingly cleaned the scanned pencil lineart with a mouse

2011. i had gotten my first drawing tablet as a birthday/xmas gift and practiced a ton around this time (more than just wolves lol)

Last series I watched: trigun stampede. even changed my phone bg into vash... but millions knives is probably my favourite. he just does everything wrong and makes his life worse. and everyone elses life too bc he sucks. but hes multifaceted so hes also my meow meow and whatever. i hope a ford explorer drives over him

if it counts though, ive seen some star trek TOS episodes and movies because my friends have been watching them. im not super into it but its always fun to hang. i also dont watch a lot of stuff. i dont even know what i do. guy who doesnt read or watch things but listens to jerma videos on youtube without actually looking at them while i “draw” and “write”

Craving: food honestly. i should cook something lmfao. i also want soda so bad but i dont have any. id make some tea but its disgustingly warm in my house so i only want cool drinks. could kill for a nice milkshake or a smoothie rn i think

Tea or coffee: tea... im the only finnish person who doesnt drink coffee for real. also got really into loose leaf tea bc i befriended a chinese lady who is really into tea and has a tea shop in the city near where i live

Currently working on: drawing this and trying to think how i want to do it. somehow want to incorporate flat colours and maybe shade his body naturally, and make the blood look realistic instead of flat colours... hmm not sure yet what i want to do

other than that im trying to proofread the chapter of my ryanyuri fanfic i already published because theres a lot of typos and strange sentences in there but its been a chore bc my body breaks down when it gets too warm smfh... not looking forward to when my apt goes over 30 degrees celsius it is unlivable. im also trying to complete a “lookbook” of my tnb sims. but i always start huge projects that take three million years to complete and im really slow lmfao

Tag people you’d like to get to know better: i could just ask these questions from everyone i talk on discord with. fuck my friends i know irl or otherwise, only asking people who r my friends through tumblr. no need to do this though. also this isnt probably meant to be answered so long-windedly... thats just me. i cant answer with one word i gotta write an essay. heres three tags though @basslinegrave​ @vita-divata​

(record scratch before 3rd tag) and @rubbertplant​ bc they were streaming a game in discord when i started typing this and i was like hey wanna do it and they were like yeah

i expect replies on my desk by 5pm TOMORROW!!!!get to work!!!! no i jest, do it or dont, i dont mind either way, just if you feel like doing this. if you see this and want to do it feel free to consider yourself tagged. godspeed

Have a Merry Yule all and stay warm!
