what happened to "i miss you"

Soft Jere and Bojan smooches to heal my heart

[frikatilhi]

sorry to be the bringer of angst/negativity(?) in this here askbox, dont answer if u dont feel like it, but i just wanna let out some strange sadness i feel lately

but am i the only pessimist bojere bitch here? like the reason i ship them hard is because i think what they portray is so beautiful and cute? And that irl them are most likely aight friends at best and a lot of stuff are just exaggerated for the publicity? like i can believe maybe jere really is into the friendship at best but that's abt it?

idk, i've just been disillusioned by a lotta friendship/rpf that are milked to high heaven, only to end up being "for the shippers" and that they dont like each other at all?

all i ask is copium/pep talk that will make me believe somehow that the deep friendship they portray in public/socials mirror what they actually have.

soz for being cringe

:((

Oh no, anon, I understand! This kind of thinking can easily make you feel like you're all alone, because we are supposed to stay positive and firmly in delulu land and ignore the stuff that doesn't fit the narrative.

This got long so snip snip

But for what it's worth, leaving all the shipping stuff aside, I do happen to believe the friendship is very real and just as deep as they portray. If anything, I think Bojan seems to be downplaying it instead of hyping it, keeping it more private instead of posturing on social media. When they talk about each other, they seem very genuine.

I could have bought the argument about exaggarating it for publicity during ESC, I mean, the contestants and especially JO were all out there making friends and creating content and buzz about it, feeding off each other's popularity. I remember thinking that myself - oh, that's cute, what a nice bromance, but I am SO over that kind of narrative, straight friends being huggy for clicks, I want the real thing, I want the happy ending, not settling or falling for anyone's media strategy any more. And it kinda worked, didn't it? 7 points from the Finnish public!

Looking back, a lot of the cute insta stories were staged and purposefully filmed so I can see what you mean. (Also looking back, there are also many moments that were NOT like that, my favourites being the dinner date and everything that happened after the final.)

But then, Tavastia 1.0 happened, and that's when it all shifted for me. You mean Bojan dropped everything and flew to Finland, just to see Jere, just to hang out without an actual agenda (yes, he dropped in on the gig but that wasn't the purpose of the visit)?? And they went to karaoke and watched Twilight and Bojan hung out with Jere's friends when he had a gig out of town?? And it was a month after they had seen each other that they decided to actually keep that promise to visit each other and not let their friendship drop and their connection fade? You mean that actually happened??

And after that we've learned that they talk to each other regularly (like, once a week?) and share values and likes and love together. Bojan has been more quiet about it, sure, but (and now we enter into speculation land) he did seem to be a bit spooked about all the attention, I mean, who wouldn't freak out a little when people start obsessing over your new friendship and following your every move and social media click and write stories about you?

And Nordic Tour was... did you see that? Everything that happened (that we saw)? If it was only for publicity (publicity for what?? At this point, why do they still need it?) it was way too much and most of it totally unnecessary. Those were two people who genuinely enjoy each other's company.

Yes, they live far apart and rarely have time to see each other, but that doesn't mean their connection isn't real and deep and important.

[mint-ty]

Okei. But. Jere, being a very considerate and consensual person, must have had checked in with Bojan if he's not overdoing with all the "ship" things and that he can stop mentioning him anytime if it makes him uncomfy. And each time Bojan replied something along the lines of "nw, it's fun, have at it🫡❤️"

That's something I wonder about sometimes.

(Today there's no wondering tho)

[glossykris]

I love how we were having a huge Bojere debate before, some going even as far as to say their chemistry is not that good compared to other people Jere spends time with AND THEN Nordic Tour happened and no one has doubts anymore

[mitamicah]

I woke up with this realisation today:

So Bojan's favourite colour is pink right?

And Jere's yellow?

Guess which flag features BOTH pink and yellow >:3

Never beaten the alligations for my queerplatonic headcanon x'D

Jere: <posts something involving people other than Bojan>

Bojan:

[cellarinovi]

I like it how Jere seems to always be the one who takes the initiative with Bojan. It's adorable how he's so open and spontaneous with him!

He's the one who announced that they're boyfriends. Who proposed to him. Who jumps on him. Who does sexy stuff to him. Who openly tells the world that he's his number one.

Whereas Bojan kind of just supports him, goes on the ride, and is up for anything. I bet Bojan finds him really exciting and endearing.

[mogoce-nocoj]

honestly huhhahhei is such a perfect song that markets itself due to the implications with like all the edits springing up already and stuff but I seriously hope that jere fully leans into it after it's released. give us more never stop talking about how this has maybe happened or not don't stop mentioning bojan and his smelly clothes get all the money while we're having the time of our lives

[omppupiiras]

apparently I'm very easily amused because the thought of making a video about these two idiots to the sappiest finnish love song I could think of was too funny for me to resist

[gyunikum]

no because i've been thinking for a while now that it really feels like something shifted after tavastia/bojan's trip to finland. like idk it could honestly just be that they had a conversation about how they want to come across on social media and decided to dial it back OR it could be something else but... SOMETHING is different

There's is no fucking way something didn't change at Tavastia. Now, yes we can't forget that we only get glimpses of their interactions, but at Tavastia we saw right into the core of their friendship. Thinking back, it feels like peeking at something really intimate. There were moments at Tavastia when their whole world consisted of only the music, the adrenaline, the stage and each other. Nothing else mattered but that happiness.

I believe they did have a discussion about it. Friends do it. I don't really know much about Bojan, but Jere has an amazing support system around him and he knows how to communicate his feelings (reason no.272737 I wish Bojan could speak fluent Finnish or Jere fluent English because God imagine if Jere could properly express himself to Bojan like in his Finnish interviews. I'm talking long deep discussions between them into the wee hours, when you know that the other one just gets you on a primal, atomic level).

Even if we never ever get a Tavastia again, I won't be sad, because it happened and I saw glimpses into this beautiful bond that they share.

Man, this friendship has me in a fucking chokehold, doesn't it?

[smallphoenix13]

they just really aren’t doing anything to deter the shippers are they

[eteisvalssi]

i’ve been trying to brainwash my bestie to like joker out (not forcing it on her of course) and yesterday i told her about my experience from prague and showed her some videos and she actually admitted that she finds bojan very cute! i feel like we’re actually getting somewhere with this lol
