#me 🤝 jere: yapping

Storytime: why and when Käärijä called me lovely

I was at the Ravintola Kaisla gig at Tampere, the whole day had been pretty hot and we had been queueing since 8am. I had had lunch, snacks and like a decent amount of water during the day but apparently not enough.

Doors opened 5 hours before the gig started, and the venue kept getting hotter as more and more people got there.

During the gig my depth perception suddenly went wild, it was like one eye was zooming in while the other was zooming out and they kept switching every second, just people and things jumping back and forth in my vision, and I felt like I was about to faint right then and there.

Thankfully Jere started to yap right after the song ended, so when he was quiet for one second I yelled from the second row to him, asking if I could get water because I'm about to pass out. He went "of course you can, where are you?" as he grabbed a bottle from Allu's table. I raised my hand, my friends pointed at me and we all yelled "here!". As he brought me the bottle he joked that he was about to say "fuck you" but then he heard (he cut himself off mid sentence but its obvious what he meant haha). He handed it to me and I went "thank you, love!" He looked me in the eye, smile on his lips and went "of course. You're lovely" and then asked if anyone else is thirsty. I downed like half of that bottle in one go.

After the gig I found out that the lovely @frikatilhi had gotten my interaction with Jere on video, forever thankful for her for filming all of his yapping during the gig 🙏💚 tilhi clipped that part from a longer video and sent it to me, and when I say I've been watching that 13 second video on loop....

I wasn't feeling too good at the Kokkolan Venetsialaiset the next day either, had to go to the first aid tent a few hours before K's gig ✌️ but I'm home now, feeling fine, just tired af. Also the bottle K gave me is on my bookshelf, marked as the you're lovely bottle 😌

hello! i’m here for more bokris yapping!! how do you feel about kris speaking serbian and bojan being so happy compared to when bojan tries to speak dutch and kris just laughs at him because it makes me insaneeeeee

oh god, yes. it makes me insane too 🤝🫠

I think it makes a lot of sense in terms of how I imagine each of them would show affection and desire it in return.

let's take Bojan, for example. he absolutely loves languages, and he is 100% the type of person to run straight to learning how to say phrases and terms of endearment in someone's native language if he doesn't speak it himself (I'm totally thinking about him learning some Finnish because of Jere, here 😇). because of this, I think it makes sense that it would fill him with such pure delight when someone puts that same effort in for him. it seems to me that Kris is more confident with speaking Serbian than any of the others, and I think it's quite clear just how weak for Kris that makes Bojan feel. the heart eyes? the attentive listening? the encouraging nodding when he's speaking it? that boy is in love.

and then we have Kris, who I believe is a bit more reserved about his feelings, as I've mentioned before. I think part of the reason Kris always looks quite amused when Bojan tries to speak Dutch could be because he knows that if he doesn't laugh, he'll fold. secretly, he loves it when Bojan tries to speak it because it's so goddamn endearing the way he can be slightly off with his pronunciation, but no less ecstatic to show off what he knows to Kris. I also think the other part of it is that Kris likes to show his affection through some mild teasing because it's cute to see Bojan's reaction when he pretends to be offended.

I also like to think that sometimes Bojan begs Kris for a little Dutch lesson occasionally until Kris eventually gives in because it makes him so happy 😌
