Me when I get my hands on you all for creating such an amazing game

(it's a safe video i promise <3 when I saw it I instantly thought of you)

(It's a cute video of a raccoon getting a bath ❤️)

Fun fact: in Swedish raccoons are called "tvättbjörn", which literally means "wash bear". Probably because of the way they like to wash their food, but I love it also meaning "little creachure who gets a bath" 😊

Thank you, nonny!

i picked out some random words in swedish. swedes, d🤢nes, and norwegians don't get to vote

apparently it wasn't obvious, but im swedish and i know what these words mean

[treetownconfessions]

"tvättbjörn" is the swedish translation for "raccoon". it is ALSO the same translation for "washing bear" in reference to how raccoons wash their food before they eat. it should also be noted that shifty and lifty are green. my proposal? shifty and lifty are very distantly related to flippy in the same sense that 7th cousins are related. add this to the htf iceberg please

I just listened to a song about a racoon who loves to wash in four different languages

Her name ”Tvättis” only makes sense in swedish since it matches with the swedish word for racoon, ”tvättbjörn”.

Swedish moment

Random fact,

A racoon is a 'tvättbjörn. If you translate it literally: Wash Bear I assume it got its name since racoons wash their food before eating, hence tvättbjörn

5 facts about the fellow Hot Anna of your choosing.. - gooooo go goo! 😈 (would also like it known that I need to be told my nipple ribbon colour because outfit matching reasons yes yesss såatte yep)

@norrlands-nonsense you will ALWAYS be the Hot Anna of my choosing, my hot, funny tvättbjörn.

1. You are the funniest person on the internet. No one can change my mind. I’d be jealous if I weren’t so in love with you, since I already have a chip on my shoulder about not being the funniest Anna my husband has ever dated, and now I have you to contend with...another hotter, funnier Anna. Don’t ever come to the U.S. of A and steal my husband away. Unless you bring me Alexander Skarsgård or Alicia Vikander or Rebecca Ferguson or Joel Kinnaman in exchange (Sidenote: why are all of you Swedes so hot? is it all the Surströmming? does it contain alchemical properties beneath all that rot?) 

2. Tech-savvy extraordinaire. my personal help desk for basic internet functions. Does it sting a little when you laugh at my idiocy? Yes...maybe a bit, but I’d be lost without you, you manip-making magician, you website wizard, you reverse image search raconteur, you sexy gif finding sorceress. Thanks to you I know the going rate for most crimes and how to bully you into finding me high-res photos. MWAH!

3. You bake lovely, amazing cakes. You should have your own television show, where you seduce everyone with baked goods and your amazing tits. 

4. The Venn diagram of who we are each attracted to would basically be a perfect circle with only slivers on each side. on one would be my Draco, Lucky Blue...on the other would be yours, and because we are in polite company I won’t mention his age. (I also won’t mention his name, because I’ve already forgotten, since mine is better)

5. The day you finally write a fic, my life will be complete. I’ll probably pee my pants again reading it, because I know you will kill me with your scintillating calf-wanking. 

Happy New Year Norry! I hope you are cozy and happy and you are able to sleep tonight! If If find you online late, I’m going to bomp you on the nose!

EDIT: I FORGOT YOUR RIBBON! It’s coming! Scrambles, shit falling of my desk...it’s here somewhere...just need to wrap it...

Ok, I am filled with nostalgia rn.

So, there was this scandinavian travel agency that had these family themed trips, and their big mascots were Lollo and Bernie.

This song is a mix of swedish, norwegian and danish and I am not sure which language is which sometimes

Now, they were ok - but there were other sets of characters that used to perform on the hotels that they had here.

They were called "three little bears" and was a grizzly bear, a polar bear and a racoon (which, in the scandi languages is called a "wash bear"). They were... well...

They weren't as marketable.

BUT, they had the best songs! Like, I heard them sing the last time when I was... 6?? And all the songs are still playing in my mind. But the songs were not available anywhere?? They had these CDs, but the CDs were so hard to get? More or less impossible, and if they were available they were too expensive.

But now, they have, after all these years, uploaded these songs on Spotify. Complete with new, cartoony designs! But the singers seem to be the same ones back on the original CD, cause I recognized the voices.

They have swedish, norwegian and danish versions, I will link the swedish versions because. Yeah.

This is their "main theme". But all three of them have their own theme songs.

The grizzly bear's theme is that he likes to eat cookies and chocolate, but when his tummy is too full, he has to get up and "bump around" lol.

My ultimate favorite was the racoon's theme song

As mentioned, in the scandinavian languages call racoons tvättbjörn or vaskebjørn depending on the language, and it means "wash bear". So, of course, the racoon's name is Tvättis ("Washy"). Her song is, of course, about washing. But it's very catchy.

Now, the polar bear have a song too. But they release every song as a single, and they have literally started releasing them in august, the latest release of a song was september 22nd (so, 3 days ago when I write this). So perhaps, soon, her song will be up too. I remember it vividly - her name was Isidor and what I remember from her song is that they sang "Iiiiisi-diiiiisi-door". Probably won't explain much to you, but every time in my life I hear the name Isidor I instantly think of that song.

There was another character - Uncle Grubb. He hated the bears and wanted to capture them. When they performed at hotels, uncle Grubb tried to disguise himself to lure them into traps (and always failed). He is in many ways very Robbie Rotten-like.

His song is one of the catchiest. He sings about how he's gonna capture the bears and the bears sing in the background about how he never can capture it.

In conclusion, these are very classic kid themed songs and I have been bopping to them for an hour. I mean, now I finally have the full songs again!

All I had in my head since I was 6 years old was random lines.

"En ☝🏻 för alla🙌🏼 , alla för en! 🐻🐼🐻‍❄️"

"Iiiisii-diiiisiii-dooor! 🐻‍❄️"

"Farbror Grubb! 🥸 Men han kan inte 🙅🏼 fånga oss! 🏃🏽"

"Tvättis heter jag🐻🧼 , en tvättbjörn🦝som är glad 😁!"
