München, 04.12.23

okay! now that I've actually managed to arrive home from Munich and had the day to calm down for a bit, I'm just gonna link xia's munich report here (because it includes most of the important bits) and add some of the stuff that I keep thinking about

Watching the Khäärijä OF videos during queueing was so funny because everyone was caught between feeling slightly embarrassed and really interested

I arrived later but apparently Kris and Jan (I think) walked through the wrong door and the queue had to show them where to go into the venue

the queue system worked perfectly and I can't thank all the people responsible for it enough for implementing it

I know people have been talking about how Nace has this energy when he's right in front of you and I get it now. I do. When he was close I had my own "oh." moment about him. like, wow.

Bojan was in such a good mood, joking around and telling stories and really looking like he was enjoying the concert and being close to the crowd

Bojan during plastika holding a pride flag “don't be plastic, be fantastic”

During queueing I jokingly suggested that I was gonna clap the rhythm to vem da greš which they did during the nordic tour but stopped doing afterwards; what I didn't consider was that I was so close to the stage that Bojan actually noticed me doing it and proceeded to give me the softest smile. I can't tell you what having his full attention does to a person because, phew. don't think I'll ever recover

When Bojan caught the bracelets people were admiring him for it and he very loftily said “so does anyone want to throw a baseball?” before being bombarded by other gifts. his face really changed from being suave to slight panic in only a few seconds, that was a really funny thing to experience (it wasn't a bad panicked face, no worries)

there were a bunch of Slovenian people in the crowd and Bojan really enjoyed bantering with them

I think someone said it already but I want to stress how funny it was that they only made it to Munich because the organiser booked their flight to Memmingen. like why would you do that. it did save them though

Okay, just a bit of bokris stuff (because they are always in my heart after all, even if they decide to bully me whenever I'm in the crowd)

yes kris didn't sing ngvot (that's my curse, apparently) but in contrast to wrocław there was an actual conversation going on where Kris told Bojan to sing it which was cute

Bojan caressed Kris's chest at some point and I'm so sad I didn't get that on video because it was really soft

I think after Vienna Bojan's convinced that “Zugabe” is a literal translation of “one more” because he kept repeating it so often lol

after the encore Bojan apparently took the wrong exit and had to bolt across the stage to the other door making everyone turn around in confusion

I know this report is very Bojan focused but he really just draws you in, in particular in the middle. like you just have to give him your attention and while I also enjoy being at the back, being at the front and having no choice but to be focused on him is also really an experience

(I can't thank xia enough for buying the jo sweater for me because for one second i forgot that I was in Germany and could only pay in cash and nearly had a breakdown thinking I couldn't get it. I'm living in that sweater now, btw.)

the crew were really trying to get us to leave after the show like repeating “what are you standing around here, the band is gone” and while I get it, it was very funny considering that we weren't actively waiting for them and just got caught up in conversation (and Bojan and Nace posting the Hojan shirt)

... this might've turned out longer than I expected, I think Turku will always be my favourite because it was my first Joker Out gig but this one is getting pretty pretty close. thanks to all the people I met and got to talk to and who made this gig such a wonderful experience ❤️

Hi, ship asks for the classics?

Jance: 10, 19, 22, 27, 28

Bojere: 12, 16, 18, 20, 29

Sorry for the delay, this turned into a bit of an essay (no surprise there, it's me after all...)

Jance Who drives and who picks out the music? I feel like Nace would be better with sticking with directions, so he’d probably take over the bulk of driving, at least over long distances. That leaves Jan in charge of the driving playlist. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other? It can be distracting how they wind each other up pretty much constantly, but they show their love in the little things they do for each other. Jan sneaks tracks onto the driving playlist that he’s not keen on but that he knows Nace really loves and makes sure that there are always gluten free options for snacks at practice or at restaurants when they go out (the other guys would, but Jan jumped in pretty quickly to take charge of that – one of the early signs he was completely gone for him). Nace is very good at being observant and either grounding Jan when he gets sidetracked or getting him away from everything when it becomes clear he needs some time out from everything. How do they apologize after arguments? Tough one! I feel like Nace is better at talking through any issues while Jan would find that uncomfortable. It would probably lead to a few extra arguments at the beginning, but as time goes on, I think Jan would start to open up more and be more on board with it even if it doesn’t come naturally. Maybe he even initiates a few such discussions himself. For something ridiculous though, it would probably just be a case of a simple hug and a sorry. I don’t think they would be much inclined to hold grudges against each other. Who would propose? What would their wedding be like? So Nace decides to propose, spends ages finding the perfect ring and agonising how to do it. Big romantic date? Intimate evening at home? On some far-flung beach at sunset? He’s got the ring ready and waiting and is just trying to pick the right moment when Jan turns to him after a gig, still high on adrenaline, throws his arms around him and just blurts out “marry me”. Sometimes things can be that simple. And it’d make for a funny story afterwards! The wedding is where the care and planning is clearer. Seeing that one interview though where they have different ideas about how big a wedding should be suggests they’d have to compromise though. Maybe a small ceremony with just their nearest and dearest, followed by a huge party to celebrate at a different date? The party would be wild enough that people are still finding out new things that happened there in the following months. What’s something that reminds them of their partner(s)? Do they have anything on them daily as a reminder (a photo, phone background, tattoo, clothing/accessory, etc)? Phone backgrounds seem pretty standard, though probably not the lock screen – more chance of a fan accidentally spotting it. They’d also be normal, everyday photos, maybe Jan playing the guitar on the sofa or Nace cuddled up with Igor. Clothing theft is a serious issue within Joker Out, so it would be less obvious but they seem to have a pretty mix-and-match wardrobe. Nace would have a harder time of it than Jan as he’s much more broad-shouldered, but just because it’s rarer doesn’t mean Jan would have less of a reaction to seeing Nace wear one of his t-shirts or hoodies. Maybe it would make even more of an impression.

Bojere Who gets up the earliest? Who has the worst sleep schedule? Who is the sleepiest? As a member of Joker Out, Bojan is contractually obliged to be allergic to early mornings, so of the two of them Jere would be more of a morning person. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s got the best sleep schedule though, as he’s always on the go. As for who is the sleepiest, I feel like they’d crash at the same time, leading to them often being found napping together in the studio, on the sofa, in the back of the car, etc. Both the JO boys and the Kӓӓrijӓ crew probably have a lot of photos of this happening; they have an ongoing competition to see how can take the closest photo without waking them. What’s their favorite “domestic bliss” moment? Do they cook/clean together? Do they like to go out shopping together? They would enjoy spending an evening cuddled up on the sofa (rare, given their busy schedules) with some beers and watching trash TV. Jere in particular likes to point out ridiculous people in shows and be like “see this person? That is you, Bojan.”. He’s very quick with it. Cleaning together would result in too much messing around (think ‘everything in the kitchen is covered in water except the dishes we actually meant to wash’) so if they really want to get anything done they have to divide and conquer. Cooking is marginally more successful, because if they’re making something unique to their home country, the other one has to act as assistant (while probably providing an on running comedy commentary about the dish). They are 100% the sort of couple who would go out shopping with a list (hastily thrown together on the back of an envelope at the last minute, but still, adulting) and come back with nothing from it but an entirely different set of shopping altogether. And they’d have a great laugh while doing it. What does a date night out look like for them? Depends who is organising! Bojan would go fancy with reservations at a nice restaurant with excellent reviews (anything to see Jere in a suit, you know?), whereas Jere would take them on a night of drinking and dancing at some fun bars, usually with some karaoke thrown in for good measure. Both types of dates are fun! What clothes/accessories do they steal from each other? Stolen rather than freely given (the hockey jersey) or left behind (half of Bojan’s Nordic Tour suitcase)? I think Bojan would have kept that Bulbasaur hat of Jere’s and maybe a pair of those spiked sunglasses. And we all know Jere has a fair amount of Carpe Diem-era merch, but seeing him in Bojan’s own Demoni hoody would probably do funny things to his heart. What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle? International tournaments would bring out their competitive sides. Think something like the Olympics – one of them just wandering in at breakfast and being like “oh, sorry, did you not get any medals in that latest event? Can’t relate.” – or the World Cup – one getting a mock crying photo from the other because their team’s just been knocked out at group stage while the other is going through to the next round. (Eurovision too, obviously, but that goes without saying.) There’s no real meeting in the middle for this! However, the nearest thing would be something like being able to become an honorary Slovene/Finn if your own team doesn’t qualify and getting to share in the glory that way!

The week started out with more of a whimper but ended with a bang from the ND set this week. As often happens, we got a few choice items on Friday as they wound down their week of 16 hour days. The headliner was Kennedy’s Twitter post, captioned “Happy Friday y’all,” that appeared and then disappeared, but not before it was captured and reposted a gazillion times:

OMG. We went 180 degrees from last week’s desert to this week’s paradise of riches in CW’s Nancy Drew land! We knew Larry Teng and the whole crew wouldn’t abandon us with the BTS content. After the seemingly epic filming of episode 6 when it was all quiet on the set last week, we’ve gotten hints from Kennedy and onset photos for Ep. 6, we’ve heard from exciting new ND writers, and saw some glimpses for Ep. 7 that’s filming right now. Let’s get into it!

We were spoiled with so much BTS content last week. Episode 4 of Nancy Drew S4 was a wrap, and Ep.5 started filming on Friday. We got a preview of a gorge new look for George, some drama (and BTS comedy) in the woods, and prepping at an OLD location - Larkspur Lane! Here’s hoping for a Whisper Box 2. We never got actual confirmation that the hospital was completely destroyed in “The Whisper Box.”

Kennedy teased us with her first scarf look of S4. It’s a new color combo for Nancy with the blue checked blazer, yellow top, and floral scarf (the whole look is vaguely reminiscent of a flight attendant uniform). I’m digging it and the scallop shell earrings, which are so Horseshoe Bay (she’ll grow where she’s been planted).

More importantly, she teased us by telling one of lead writers in the comments that wearing a scarf was PERFECT for the episode they’re filming. My mind goes to many possibilities, all involving Ace and definitely triggering the curse…

My #1 post of 2022

Kennedy started a YouTube Channel! Her first video is SO good. She’s so smart and honest, and funny. She also edited it herself and of course it’s perfect.

Girl I literally had to hold myself back from going in depth on their Stožice outfits because otherwise my reply to the ask would have just been repeating Stožice Stožice Stožice

More 👇🏻

Originally I'd had thoughts about them trading Stožice outfits but then I realised this was impossible because the outfits are just so uniquely tailored to them. Sorry other boys but no one else could pull off Kris's Stožice look.

Totally agree about Nace's fit and the white shirt and the tattoos. Together with the new hair it's all just melt

The Jure lace top?? The leather jacket?? fuck yeah.

OK, with Bojan's look, I warmed up to it over the course of the show tbh. I was lucky enough to be at Stožice and lost my fucking mind when I first saw the boys' new outfits on stage, but I remember thinking Bojan's was fairly modest and not quite as flashy compared to the others (maybe by design, since he's so often in the spotlight anyway?). I laughed out loud though when I realised he had his NAME on his PANTS because that's just so ridiculous. And then when I saw that the sleeves were detachable I was 100% on board because that detail is SO Bojan and I appreciate that him losing his sleeves had become such a trope that he (or someone on his design team) just incorporated that into his look.

and with Jan, I agree, THAT JACKET! I'm not a Jan girlie but I could stare at That Photo of him at Stožice leaning back with a little smile on his face, perfectly framed by his hair, in the red jacket, forever...

totally agree on all your Halloween takes, those suits were really doing something. I was also drooling over Bojan in the tight-fitting shirt and tie, there's that one moment where he comes back on stage to introduce the surprise encore and is just playing with his tie before calling for the boys in German and I swear I've watched that clip like 20 times because everything about it is sooo sexy

about all their other looks, just - uuuugghghhghhgh our boys have STYLE. it's a tragedy bojan didn't wear that pink collar on stage too but it might have been too constricting to sing in. I fantasize about one day getting a Cha Cha Cha show with Käärijä having the JO boys on leads dressed all in pink - not in the actual pink dancers' outfits, but in their own styles (slay for kris, suit/blazer for nace, slutty for bojan, shirtless for jure, sleeveless for jan), just in that colour. the mental image alone gives me strength.

agree about the carpe diem MV looks. their ESC outfits though... I was SO excited to see them again at Stožice, and they were part of what first caught my eye about them at ESC, but I think of them as more "cute" than sexy. I appreciate that they've gotten a lot more daring since then.

tbh I know almost nothing about fashion but god damn these boys hold a power over me that has me interested in everything they do

List the top 3 (or top 5 or whatever many you want) outfits of any of the JO boys that make you lose your mind

Oh man 🫠

The Stožice outfits are an automatic "yes please" for all five of them, but I especially like how Bojan has recently been going shirtless under the purple coat. If he does that in Poland I might not make it to the end of the show intact 🙃

Seriously though, all the Stožice outfits. They absolutely nailed it and I can see why they're continuing to perform in them.

Also their Halloween costumes, because I was lucky enough to be in Vienna and WOW those flight crew uniforms were 🔥🔥🔥

I also love Bojan's black sparkly shirt from... I wanna say Tampere? (although I think he's worn it at multiple shows). I'm a sucker for collared shirts with a low neckline or the top buttons undone...

And any of Nace's blazers / suit jackets / whatever that style is. Plus the new way he's doing his hair. I wasn't sure about the slicked-back look when he first did it at Stožice but now I'm a convert 🙏🏻😇

What are yours??

Thanks so much for the asks btw ❤️❤️

Under Cover

Remember when I tried to write fluff, but epically failed? (See: Dress)

I HAVE SUCCEEDED! Enjoy a little fluffiness after that mostly nace-less episode. It will probably make it’s way to Ao3 at some point, but for now, the rest is under the cut.

“You want to lie to the crew? I don’t know if I can do that, Nance.  Especially not Bess, goes against the platanchor code.”

“I’m not saying you have to lie, just omit certain details.” Her intonation rises like it does when she’s wheedling. Wide grin, face tilted, eyes playfully pleading. 

“That’s a lie by omission.”

Her face drops with her signature eye roll.  “I know, Ace.” 

There’s a long beat where they stare down for a moment, but Nancy’s posture is confident, knowing she’ll win this one. Finally, Ace returns a single, decisive nod, even though he’s not happy about it.  Nancy’s happy half-hop over, arms twining around his neck as she smiles into their kiss might sway him though.  He could probably get over lying-by-omission for a while. 

Bess will understand.

As a result, Nancy’s always inventing new codes, new subtle ways to request affection under the radar. This week it’s ringing the bell on the counter to the kitchen of the Claw. What was supposed be order up, is now come and kiss me. Ace is only too happy to oblige, gloves dripping dishwater puddles on his way over. Nancy for her effort jumps up, palms pressing and elbows locking to push herself up and slightly over the counter to reach his lips for a quick peck.  They almost get caught with this one, as in order to be incognito, the bell is most often rung when the Claw is empty. 

When they’re out and about it’s tricky - Nancy naturally (recklessly) leads the group into whatever cave, abandoned shack, or mansion that’s currently being haunted. Of course this places her - and by extension, Ace - at the front where Bess, George and Nick can scrutinize their movements.  Mostly Bess. 

Ace is pretty sure there’s a bet going as to when they’ll get together. He hasn’t mentioned it to Nancy because it will be much more fun to watch her unleash her rage at Bess and George rather than himself.  He’s also looking forward to making the bet moot when they find out he and Nancy have actually been together for much longer.  

Instead Nancy finds ways to fall back, you know, making sure the seance candles are out or that the dilapidated building they just broke into is re-locked.  Honestly, her real-life acting skills are way worse than her on-a-case acting skills and at this rate these terrible excuses are going to get them caught faster than the bell trick. But her cue is silent and subtle, one hand drifting up between them to tug on the hem of his coat, his shirt.  In response, Ace squeezes her hand and pulls her in to kiss her head, her forehead, her temple, her cheek. Her answering smile sweet and soft. 

Hugs are deceptively the hardest, as Nancy has long been practically wrapped around Ace, one hand on the back of his chair, other arm aligned with his, hand on the counter next to his laptop. But in order for her to embrace him, they have to be particular.  Waiting until the crew is situated on the other side of them, where Nancy can use Ace’s body as a cover for leaning against him, pulling her arm against his, resting her chin on his shoulder. She’s gotten very creative in finding regular tasks for the rest of the team, sending them away so she can fully circle her arms around his shoulders, his waist. Ace in turn gripping her forearm to tug her closer to him, looping an arm about her waist. 

Once, Ace had shifted completely on his stool at the Claw, hands linked casually at the small of her back with her legs bracketed between his knees. Bess had rounded the corner rather quickly and noiselessly that day, clearly on the prowl.  But Nancy had easily and swiftly stepped directly out of his grasp, leaning her elbow on the bar in a somehow unaffected thinking stance. 

They almost get away with it.  Any pointed comments from Bess at how comfortable Ace was in wrapping an arm around Nancy’s waist from behind to pull her out of reach of the latest ghost could be explained away by the heat of the moment and an instinctual need to keep any member of the crew out of harm's way.  

Really it’s Nancy that blows it.  She’d succumbed to the adrenaline in the form of tears when she saw the cut on his arm he’d gotten upon their escape - rather superficial but large. She'd been tough to calm and Ace hadn’t thought twice about ducking his gaze to hers, gaining her attention with a soft, Nancy, and pulling her to him to kiss her temple.  

Bess’s eyes on his over Nancy’s head clearly say this isn’t over.  

Okay maybe they both blow it. 

Because Bess gives Nancy the ride back to the Claw to calm down only to go full interrogation once they’re inside.  Aces is emerging from the locker room, first aid kit in hand to see Nancy from behind, gesticulating wildly as she fumbles desperately for some excuse.  Bess is all annoyed relationship guru, foot tapping, hands on hips.  Ace can’t tell if she’s more annoyed that they lied, or that she didn’t figure it out.  

He knows the jig is up and decides to jump ship despite Nancy’s continuing attempts to bail water.  He puts the first aid kit on the counter and steps up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and putting his chin on her shoulder.  It’s endearing really, the prolonged few seconds of continued arguments she’s posing before she realizes what’s happening.  Bess’s face goes soft first at the sight of them, and then Nancy’s body as she relaxes into the embrace and puts her arms on his, careful to avoid his cut.   

“Sorry?” She offers weakly.  

Once they’re found out it becomes a competition. Unspoken and one-sided, Nancy has apparently made it her mission to out-gross Nick and George on the affection front. At least that’s what Ace has gathered. Nancy never really said, but he thinks it a fair interpretation of the wicked gleam in Nancy’s eye the most recent time they were reprimanded “Come on guys, people eat here.” 

Suddenly there’s a chalkboard hanging in his locker, the week’s dates at the top of two columns: GN, NA.  There’s a heart after the NA and it doesn’t take a genius detective or a hacker to crack Nancy’s code. Under George and Nick’s column are two tallies and a post-it note under theirs - 

Step it up.
