heyyyy, I don't know if this has been discussed anywher but regarding Joonas' nickname "Piina" which has been translated as "tormenter" in that video I just saw you reblog: a while ago it was revealed in a short interview in Finnish (I'd link it here but I honest to god can't remember which interview) it was revealed that Joel and Joonas' nicknames are Piina and Paniikki, which I believe is a reference from the 1997 Disney animated film Hercules in which the two minions of Hades, Pain and Panic, are translated as Piina and Paniikki in the Finnish voiceover. Literally translated, piina means 'torture', 'suffering', 'agony' etc. (rather than 'pain')
just a fun fact for those who are wondering! 😇 in the interview, Niko explains that they have earned those nicknames because Joel is always panicking and because Joonas is agonizingly slow sometimes 😂
Ohhh I see. Thank you for this important context! 😅

kids who werent raised christian being like "lol baptising children is whack if they tried to do that to me i would start doing things to make it look like i was possessed" no you would not. you would bask in the pride and approval coming from the adults around you and you would quietly wait your turn because you were told from birth that sinning sends you to hell and baptism is The Promise that youre dedicating your life to jesus that youve had hyped up for years and watched other people be fawned over as they cry happy tears about it and you do NOT want to fuck up your One Big True Promise To Love Jesus Forever So You Don't Get Tortured For Eternity when you are literally 8 years old. im begging yall to remember its a thousand times easier to see the church's bullshit for what it is when you're not actively in the church. eight year old you is not thinking about trying to fight back against an oppressive religious group indoctrinating children because You Are The Children Being Indoctrinated. stop acting like you would've magically known better if it were you.
