Today's entry for @kaarija-inktober is a bit different since with a prompt like community I couldn't help but draw some of my many friends I've gotten in this fandom :'3 love you all so much <333

(I have tried to keep it to people I know have shared their faces online at some point and so would - hopefully - be alright with being drawn, although if you want me to take yours down please let me know and I'd do it immediately! Also I sadly couldn't draw everybody so if you don't see yourself here it is not that I don't appreciate you as a friend, I still very much do :'D <3 )

My turn to get sappy 😁

Thanks so much to everyone in this lovely fandom, I love you all so much! This is the first time ever that I'm not only lurking, but regularly posting stuff and even talking to people💚 you are all so nice and lovely, it's a pleasure to be in the tag!

This was a very weird year for me, it was truly shitty in many ways, on other fronts it was one of the best of my life, and that is all thanks to you people 🙏🏻

The bad stuff is something I couldn't change no matter what I do, so finding joy in this fandom was really important to me this year and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I never when I checked out the eurovision entries for each country at the start of the year that I would be here at the end of it, having found new friends and even meeting people in person (❤️Berlin queue❤️), only listening to Finnish music, planning a visit to Finland and learning a new language for the first time in years 😁 I'm having so much fun and I'm so grateful to käärijä and his crew for this and all the crazy party things so far and that we will get in the future 😁

Hyvää uuttaa vuotta ja kiitos paljon 💚

[nanoa1foryou]

I love that we are perpetually amazed that Käärijä is trending. Like every time people are wowed.

Because it is amazing every time. When else has just some guy from Finland done this? And our boy deserves it. I love to see it <3

[clovermoonspell]

I'm excited to see everybody's spotify wrapped this year and why is it only Käärijä.

(I know, i know..and some JO too)

[demi-eurovision]

Käärijä tag is on FIRE. The past two days I've reblogged so much awesome stuff omg 😭

[glossykris]

Kääryleet Secret Santa 2024!!!

As some of you may have seen already, @zefly and I are organising this year’s Secret Santa! We’ve now prepared the google form for you to apply, and it will be open until November 20th.

As of now, our plan is to give everyone the person they’ll be making a gift for in late November, shortly after the form closes. No set date for that yet - we will keep you updated, though.

While I think most people know what a Secret Santa is and have participated in last year’s Secret Santa or in the Summer Gift Exchange, I would still like to explain how this works for everyone who didn’t.

1. You apply through the form I’ve linked in this post. There you can choose what gift form (writing, art, physical art/crafts) you’d like to give and receive, and you can specify your preferences and give your Secret Santa a rough idea of what you’d like them to make for you.

2. You’ll receive the person’s name and preferences after the form has closed. Then, you can send them anonymous asks if you need more info or have any questions - without blowing your cover, of course.

3. Then you have until December 22nd to make and email your gift to me or zefly - more info on that when you receive the person whose Secret Santa you’ll be!

4. We will take care of emailing all the gifts so they will be in everyone’s inboxes December 25th.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! More info is coming.

Oh, and even if you can’t participate this time, it’d be lovely if you could share this anyway so other people might see it 💚

AND.... THE RESULTS ARE IN FOR THE FIRST KÄÄRIJÄVISHUN (2024 EDITION).

(RESULTS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE WONDERFUL MATHEMATICIANS @katinkulta and @teal-skull who tidied up this gorgeous little ranking!) THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS, ILY ❤️‍🔥✨

The winner of the 1st (annual?) Käärijävishun 2024, is....

*drum roll please*

🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥🥁💥

... BLACK BOX CHA CHA CHA (with dancers edition) !!! 🏆🥇🌟✨

our top 3 podium stands as:

🥇 Cha Cha Cha Black Box (with dancers version)

🥈 Cha Cha Cha Black Box (chaos encore edition)

🥉 Ruoska at UMK with Erika Vikman

then we have another Cha Cha Cha (surprise surprise!) in 4th place, this being the Emma Gaala Orchestral version.

rounding out the top 5, we have the absolute banger imo not biased at all sksk that is Hirttää Kiinni. This is the only song that is neither new or Cha Cha Cha, so that is a feat in itself!

congrats Hirttää Kiinni enjoyers, i love having taste with you 🤝

i also just want to say a huge thank you to all 26 or so of us that watched and took part in the first Käärijävishun event, whether you joined in with the scoring or not!

i'm proud of us for taking part in our own boycott event. times have been hard for multiple reasons recently, and i think being together to vibe and have a fun and safe time was a beautiful thing 💖💚

i couldn't feel sadness or anger, only love for kääryleet and that silly dude with a strange haircut that managed to somehow bring us all together.

i love this fandom. thank you once again for joining, and please continue to support Palestine and talk about Palestine. unless e*s*c change their tune SIGNIFICANTLY, i can see this being a yearly event in May ~

spending time with you guys was infinitely x100 more fun than that stupid show and their stupid decisions 💖💚💖💚

I love how Käärijä can drop an instagram story in the middle of the night, and before dawn kääryleet will have :

1. Clipped the audio

2. Translated the lyrics

3. Come up with theories about the meaning

4. Made him trend

5. Agreed on a title. Like SO fast

6. Fully and completely lost their minds

Outstanding fandom, 10/10

Hey Kääryleet!

Thank you so much for all your lovely pictures of the zines, all the artists and the staff are so happy that you loved our work.

We come with good news!

First of all: If you haven't received your zine when june comes around, please contact us. Canada Post is quite a slow service, and it can take up to a month to receive your items. Do not worry, we are keeping some copies on the side in case we need to resend them!

Second: The cards! We heard you, you want a full set. We are working on a way to make them available on a print-on-demand website, so you can get your hands on a lovely deck of boyfriend cards! (And maybe some extra cards are currently cooking, who knows………)

Last but not least: At 6am EST (New York timezone), 15 copies of the zine will be available to buy for those who missed it the first time :) (We had to raise the shipping price quite a bit and we're very sorry for that. It was miscalculated by Canada Post in the first place and ended up costing a lot more money than expected, unfortunately)

Thank you so much for this lovely community. This experience has been incredible, and I, Bison, think that I can talk in the name of all the other staff and artists:

Thank you for everything

[mitamicah]

The queue was definitely something else x'D I love it :'D

Thanks to everyone in the queue, I had an amazing time 💚💚💚

Some of my favorite moments: getting stickers and bracelets, gifting my own stuff to people, lots of people taking a picture of my ass because of my embroidery pants (anyone who has photos and sees this, can you send them to me? I forgot to take some myself 😅), leaving to buy giant plastic foil at Bauhaus to shelter from the rain from, all of the ,,are you" screaming and random singing (laudato si for some reason 🤣), and of course the cold queue glögi ❤️

Love you all, I did not expect Standing in line for the whole day to be this much fun 💚💚💚💚

OK. Hi fellow Kääryleet! This is my first post here. I've been lurking here few months now. I'm now 50yo and I haven't ever been a fan of anybody before. But now I am. My boring life has been changed since May. Because of this silly little green man. I can see colours again if you know what I mean. I barely used Facebook before but now I have loaded Instagram, X, Tumblr and Jodel, omg where does this end? I just love him and I love this fandom. I have had so much fun with you guys. Your skills to make edits etc. are just amazing. And your humour is priceless. I share this anxiety whenever I see his IG story ball active because you never know what is coming. My first reaction last night was WTF!?!? And then I was laughing so hard. Am I going to pay 40$ of OF calendar? Am I? I guess I am. I'm sure there will be stuff like 🫣😳😂🔥. I really feel that this is a great way to support him and it's small money compared this amount of joy he has brought me. He deserves everything. He has taught me so many things, like be who you are and don't shame yourself. And this post is also good example, my English is not good but who cares? I'm sure you get the point. Anyway thank you all, I love you guys ❤️💚!
