Translation - Yle interview, Käärijä, 30.9.2023
Translations for this interview by Yle
Käärijä opens up about his rough Erovision year - feeling like a circus monkey and the bolero has almost been thrown to the fireplace
The eurovision star shares how his thoughts haven't been able to keep up with all of this runaround.
Käärijä has thrown the green bolero off his shoulders for a moment. In a music studio in Helsinki Jere Pöyhönen from Vantaa is now sitting, wondering what the Eurovision year has brought with it.
It is a good moment for a mid-season account.
After the Eurovision madness Käärijä performed 51 shows in Finland, which is a staggering amount. An equal amount is lined up for the fall, when on top of the homeland shows there is a European tour ahead.
Käärijä has tried to take a holiday in between, but it hasn't fully worked.
Even now he has come in straight from a tv-show set. At the same time he should be working on new music.
The artist knows, that you have to strike while the iron is hot.
Worried people ask Käärijä constantly how he's doing. He doesn't know that himself either.
– At the moment it feels like I would need more time off. I'm honest and not denying that. The shows keep going and I'm slightly scared. Touring has never scared before, but now maybe the fact, that how will I make it through it all.
The Eurovision result frustrates him even still
Käärijä watched the Eurovision Final video just a few days ago.
He still cannot understand, what happened in the arena in liverpool, when the whole hall was chanting Cha Cha Cha.
The Final performance was one of the easiest and most relaxed for Käärijä, because months of work was coming to an end. He also remembers the moment, when he almost ran into a wire that got stuck.
Käärijä placed closely second and took the loss with a heavy heart. It bothers him still.
– Of course it's frustrating at times. But people comfort me a lot and try to find reasons, why it was better I didn't win. At the end of the day life wins and it's not more serious than that.
The artist celebrates, that he got the most votes from the audience. It has bred him a lot of shows.
He will not be going to Eurovision for a second time. The runaround starting from UMK was so hectic, that the human mind can't keep up with it.
–Kind of like if you opened up a christmas present and you get your favourite toy and even still the childish enjoyment is minor. Every day so much happens, that I didn't have time to process it and it was already the next day. Just remember that we went and fast,
Käärijä's golden cage
The phenomenon that started from Käärijä has been exceptional.
Though the fame flatters the artist, he has felt it in his skin.
In his opinion some people don't know how to behave, when for example they take pictures of him with no respect to his privacy.
– Even though I like giving autographs and taking pictures, too much is too much.
At times Käärijä has felt like a circus monkey.
– I get this feeling, like you're a monkey in a travelling circus. You don't get to have feelings and opinions or others decide how things are and I have no say in this.
At the darkest moments the thought has crept into Käärijä's mind, that he should just quit.
– yes there are those moments, that now the bolero is going into the fireplace and the song gets deleted, if that were possible. but at no point has there been anger towards my own product. Maybe at times towards the artist Käärijä comes this feeling, like could you just go hide for a moment and lay down, so that I'd get some peace too, Käärijä laughs.
Despite it all Käärijä's inner animal always comes to life when at a show Cha Cha Cha comes on.
Käärijä says, that the Eurovision year has changed him as a person.
– I can appreciate things very differently. When the success and fame came, I've realized, that happiness is somewhere else in the end.
–I'd like to build a small cabin on some beach somewhere and go there after tour to calm down.
What next, Käärijä?
A few weeks ago Käärijä released his first song since Eurovision.
It's crazy It's party is notably related to Cha Cha Cha and it features Estonian artist Tommy Cash.
Cha Cha Cha has by now amassed over a 100 million streams on Spotify. That is a goal no other Finnish language song has ever reached.
Käärijä admits, that there was a lot of preassure to making new music after the huge hit.
– I'd be lying if I said there wasn't. But I was surprised by how relaxed my mind was when I finally started making new music. Perhaps the biggest preassure was left behind on the Eurovision stage.
Many Finns have hoped that the international attention would bring Käärijä a longer career internationally.
Some have however already deemed him a one hit wonder, when the new song hasn't gotten a lot of plays outside of Finland. Although even it has already over a million plays on Spotify.
– I myself have been a police about other artists like no no no, you shouldn't have done it like that. But with music you have to start from that you're happy with it yourself and if fans are coming in then that's a plus.
Though Käärijä is going on an European tour, he still considers Finland to be his most important market zone. If success comes from elsewhere then that's just a welcome addition.
Despite it all Käärijä is now a part of the eurovision canon and a real Eurovision legend.
He doesn't yet know how to fit the Eurovision legend's cape on his shoulders, because he sees himself as still too young. Käärijä knows though, that him and Cha Cha Cha will be living a life of their own from this point forwards.
But would Käärijä go to perform in Malmö, Sweden next spring on the Eurovision stage after the stinging loss last spring? After all, Eurovision usually gathers performances from the successes of previous years.
– Maybe earlier I had fears that I would become a Eurovision artist. But the world has changed and now we have Blind Channel and other successful artists from other countries. If the invite comes, then I'll gladly go along and experience it a little differently.

Gang Orca X Female Reader Pt 5
Part 4, Finale
"Ember I am beyond smitten I don't even know how to act around him anymore." You were fangirling with your best friend during your lunch break. You both had half an hour and you filled her in on most of the details. You left the part out about his little safe haven but everything else you did tell her.
"So who's going to ask who out properly?!" You looked at her shrugging your shoulders. It was clear that the two of you really liked each other but neither of you wanted to pop the question just in case it ruins what you guys have. Is this the talking/flirting phase? You do not remember it being like this when you were a teen.
"I'm scared to ask just in case it ruins something. I'm happy with what we got for now and if he asks you bet your ass I'm going to say hell yeah." You were a lot of things but a dumb ass was not one of them.
"Great! I'm happy that you finally have someone you know. Even if you guys are dancing around it I'm just happy that you're happy." You grinned at her and what she said is one of the reasons why she is your best friend. 
"Yeah, speaking of relationships how's things going with Robin?" Since you changed the subject she went on a full tangent about her husband and how the two of them were trying for a baby but so far no luck. "PCOS is a bitch ain't it?" She nodded in agreement and continued to talk to you about her life and personal issues until both of your lunch breaks were up.
"Why every time we talk time just flies man. If we were working only two minutes would have gone by. It's disrespectful." You snorted at her antics waving at her as she took her to leave. You glared at your computer screen and then your clock and saw you still had three hours. 
"This job is disrespectful." Before you whined and got lost staring at a damn clock you forced yourself to look back at what's important and finish it so you can bail. You were going to be by yourself since Ember had a late shift and got off at 5 instead of 3 with you. You worked and worked and when you finally glanced at the clock it was 2:58. "Oh fuck yeah I'm out." You entered the last paper of the day and packed up your bags and everything else that you brought with you. You gave your office a once over before locking up and walking out stopping by Ember's office and watching her pretend to hang herself. Stupid woman. You punched out and went outside deciding to grab something to eat at the local deli. Waiting online you texted Kugo surprised to see he hasn't texted you the whole day. Maybe hero work got in the way today. Hopefully, it wasn't anything serious. You ordered your sandwich and drink and sat outside at the benches enjoying a mid-day lunch/dinner. 
"WATCH OUT LADY!" You jumped at the sound of a screech and something crashing and looked to your left and right but saw nothing but the sky. Wait. THE SKY! You looked down and to your horror, the ground was up. OH FUCK A VILLAIN ATTACK.
"I should have kept my ass in the damn office." Now, you are stuck in the air on the lifted ground. Should you use your quirk? Where were the heroes? What if you got in the way instead of helping? Should you help yourself? You're so confused.
"DON'T MOVE HELP IS ON THE WAY!" Ah yes because you planned on doing a whole performance on unstable ground mid-air like a circus performer. Food and drink were forgotten you looked to see if maybe you can manipulate the dirt to safely get to the ground. Before you can do that though something shot by your face making you fall backward on your back. If they wanted you to move they should have said something not tried to take your head off.
"How the hell you got up here?" You turned at the new voice and you assumed he must have been the villain. He was floating and had pieces of ground floating around him in a circle.
"You clearly went on a rampage and brought my ass up here." Maybe sassing the villain wasn't the smartest thing you could have done but who cares. You're cranky and hungry, he ruined your perfectly good sandwich too by being a dick wad.
"So you're a smart-ass." You rolled your eyes not caring what he did. If all he could do is control the ground well surprise motherfucker you can manipulate it too. He took the bait and brought you higher and started swinging you around like a pendulum. Where were the heroes?? You tried to look and you heard a lot of yelling and saw some local heroes using their quirks to evacuate and fend off this dude's friends. Ah of course he would have a posse. How nice. You were beginning to get dizzy from being swung back and forth so you decided to take control. Your eyes and hands glowed tan as you halted everything around you. Everything was completely still and you looked straight at the guy who was just controlling everything and who looked back at you in shock. 
"Surprise." You weren't one to talk, you hated to talk you wanted action. If you didn't want to fight then shut up and keep walking so you reciprocated. The same Earth he was controlling you put most of it back down into the sidewalk and street. You smirked when you saw him trying to manipulate the ground again but you were stronger and clearly had more experience than he did. "Duck" You used air to fly towards him and he ducked just like you knew he was at the same time, he ducked you wrapped both legs around his neck and chest and somehow twisted your body around to swing him upside down and slam him straight down into the pavement. How you did do that? You don't know but what you do know is that your quirks drawback was kicking in if the blood coming out your ears and nose was a sign. "Fuck." You had no energy for even an easy fall so you knew this was going to knock you out. You closed your eyes not wanting to see the pavement but, what you weren't expecting was to hear an oof and land on something semi-soft? Or was it heavy? You didn't know anymore.
"Are you okay-Y/N?" You opened your eyes confused and were caught off guard to see Kugo.
"Ku-Gang Orca? I didn't even know you were here!" You thought he was patrolling but not this close to your job.
"I chose a different route today...I, what is your quirk?" You blinked at him and that's when it hit you. You never told him about your quirk. You went to speak but were stopped by a choking fit. When you looked back at your hands they had blood in them. Damn drawback.
"Explain after..." You thought you could finish a sentence but judging that you saw two maybe three Kugos was not a good sign. The last thing you heard before you went to Lala land was your name and shit.

Conversation
RP meme from "Clerks"
Man goes into cage. Cage goes into salsa. Shark's in the salsa. Our shark.
Bunch of savages in this town
There's a million fine looking girls in the world. But they don't all bring you lasagna to work. Most of them just cheat on you.
What do you mean there's no ice? You mean I gotta drink this coffee hot?
Ooh! Navy seals!
Do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie that came out last year?
That's beautiful, man
There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers.
Yeah. [NAME], your a rude motherfucker, you know that? But you're cute as hell. I could go down on you, suck you, line up three other guys, make like a circus seal.
That's what life is, a series of down endings.
All 'Jedi' had was a bunch of Muppets.
My mom's been fuckin' a dead guy for 30 years. I call him dad.
They say so much, but they never tell you if it's any good.
I don't watch movies
Well, have you heard anything about either one of them?
I find it's best to stay out of other people's affairs.
I don't appreciate your ruse
Hey! You're not allowed to [THING] here anymore!
My love for you is like a truck, BERZERKER! Would you like some making fuck, BERZERKER!
Are there any balls down there?
I'm gonna fuck this bitch, I'll fuck this bitch, I'll fuck ANYTHING THAT MOVES!
Yo, what the fuck you lookin' at? I'll kick your fuckin' ass! Shit yeah.
Doesn't that mother fucker owe me 10 bucks?
You know, fuckin' tonight, we're gonna rip off this fucker's head, and tear out his fuckin' soul.
I'm gonna shit in the motherfucker's bag
What's up sluts?
Noinch, Noinch, Noinch, Schmokin Weed, Schmokin' Weed, Doin' Coke, Drinkin' Beers...
I had some girlfriends too, but all they wanted from me is weed and shit.
What's a good plate with nothing on it?
I don't care if she's my cousin or not, I'm gonna knock those boots again tonight.
Hey what you want, Grizzly Adams?
Someone jammed gum in the locks.
A woman makes a guy cum, it's standard. A guy makes a woman cum, it's talent.
You'll sleep with anything that says 'yes.'
My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!
Shocking abuse of authority.
I'm a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class. Especially since I rule.
People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl "mom."
She broke your heart and inadvertently drove men to deviant lifestyles.
That's what high school was about. Algebra, bad lunch, and infidelity.
He said he has to find the perfect dozen.
Why doesn't he mix and match?
He said it was important to have standards, and he says nobody has any pride anymore.
It's not like you laid the eggs yourself.
That seems to be the late motif in your life, ever backing down.
You always back down. You assume blame that's not yours. You come in on your day off. You buckle like a belt.
Insubordination rules.
How did you get here so fast?
Do you always talk this weird after you violate a woman?
He just sat there and let me do all the work.
We didn't just have sex in the bathroom?
Well I didn't just fuck myself!
Who the fuck's in our bathroom?
You sucked that guy's dick?
How many?! How many dicks have you sucked?!
Why couldn't you sleep with them like any other decent person?
Don't look at me like I'm the town whore, because you were plenty busy yourself before you met me!
I only had sex with the guys I loved
Try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot!
That article's accurate
Something just never sat right with me the second time around.
I'll bet they brought independent contractors in on that thing
They'd hire anybody who could do the job
Casualties of a war they had nothing to do with
Along come these left-wing militants that blast everything with their lasers
I'm a contractor myself
A [PROFESSION]'s personal politics come into play heavily when choosing jobs
I'm alive because I knew the risks involved in that particular client
Could never put my finger on it but something just wasn't right.
You knocked the casket over!
Her fucking body fell out!
He broke his neck trying to suck his own dick
Come on, haven't you ever tried to suck your own dick?
You're as curious as the rest of us
I guess everyone gets curious and tries it sometime
You haven't said anything for like twenty minutes.
My life is in the shitter right about now, so if you don't mind, I'd like to stew a bit.
You should shit or get off the pot.
You'll sit there and blame life for dealing a cruddy
hand, never once accepting the responsibility for the way your situation is.
If you hate this job and the people, and the fact that you
have to come in on your day off, then quit.
There are other jobs, and they pay better money. You're bound to be qualified for at least one of them.
This is a life of convenience for you, and any attempt to change it would shatter the pathetic microcosm you've fashioned for yourself.
I'm satisfied with my situation for now.
Melodrama coming from you seems about as natural as an oral bowel movement.
I can't make changes like that in my life.
I'm not the kind of person that disrupts things in order to
shit comfortably.
Women as lovers are basically the same, they just have to be there
Making a male climax isn't at all challenging. Insert somewhere close, preferably moist. Thrust. Repeat.
What an embarrassing way to die.
Title does not dictate behavior
I think the idea or the conception of us dating is a lot more idyllic then what actually happens when we date.
You want to blame somebody? Blame yourself.
I'm stuck in this pit, working for less than slave wages. Working on my day off, the goddamn steel shutters are closed, I deal with every backward ass fuck on the planet. I smell like shoe polish. My ex-girlfriend is catatonic after fucking a dead guy. And my present girlfriend has sucked 36 dicks.
Oh, hey [NAME], break his heart again this time, and I'll kill ya
Such a sordid state of affairs.
I'm not even supposed to be here today!

Little Clown pt 1
Yes, yes, yes oh, boy. Here we are!! The Sequel to TWIV. It took me a while to finish this first part, hopefully y'all enjoy it 💖💖
PAIRING: Arthur Fleck x Oc/Joker x Oc
WARNING: Unrequited Love, Child Endangerment
Part 1
Taglist:
@gloomyladyy @princessgeekface @memory-mortis (ps I apologize if I left some people out. Just message me again if I forgot)
Tumblr media
"Mommy, I don't want a clown at my birthday party." A little girl said, troubled.
"I know, sweetheart, but clowns aren't so scary. Could you please try for me?" Her mother said, holding her hand.
It was 1993 in Gotham City. It had been 12 years since the incarceration of The Joker. Chaos was still rapid in Gotham, but the police didn't seem to care.
Sandy Fleck was one of Gotham's notorious villains, who rose to the top in popularity. Half her popularity came from followers of The Joker, hoping to seek guidance from her. The other half came from the angry mob of Gotham City, who were still hurt by the damage. For those who knew her on the streets, She was known as Dolly. She had the city tight around her finger. The only thing she was missing was Arthur.
Her daughter looked up at her. "I'm not afraid of clowns, Mommy. I just don't like them. The news doesn't like them, so why should I?" The little girl frowned. Her green emerald eyes were staring into Sandy.
"Ruthie, not everything on the news is trustworthy. Besides, I'm pretty sure your will love it." Sandy said.
"What friends, Mommy?" Ruth replied, monotonous.
Ruth Quinn Fleck wasn't like most kids her age. She was very smart, but not so sociable young girl. From the age of 5, Ruth was diagnosed by a medical professional that she had Asperger's Syndrome. Her doctors were still confused about Ruth's behavior, hoping that maybe by the time she was 8, Ruth could grow out of it. Ruth was nearing the age of 10, with her birthday being a couple days away.
The two crossed the crowded street. Ruth held onto her mother closely, as they walked into their small, yet, comfortable apartment complex.
Sandy didn't move from the old apartment complex. After all that happened, she decided that the best place for her little girl was the complex. Sure, it was an awful complex, but there was something about it that felt so warm and familiar.
As they walked up to their apartment, Sandy walked past a certain apartment door, flooding memories of someone she missed.
Sandy unlocked her apartment door, placing the groceries on the kitchen counter.
Ruth took a small juice box from the fridge, and darted for the living room. Ruth turned the TV on, and switched it to the news.
Sandy giggled to herself. "Why do you only watch the news?"
"I dunno. I like the news. It's interesting." Ruth sipped on her juice box.
Sandy smiled, washing her hands in the kitchen sink and preparing dinner.
"Twelve years ago to this day, Thomas Wayne was killed outside the Monarch Theater. In remembrance of him, we've gathered here at the theater with the young Bruce Wayne, Boy Billionaire over night."
Sandy rolled her eyes. "Ruthie, don't watch this crap. All they talk about is Bruce Wayne."
"Not all the time. They also talk about Joker." Ruth replied.
Dishes clanked in the sink, causing Sandy to break a mug, cutting her finger.
"Ruth. We don't talk about Joker, okay?" Sandy said through her teeth.
"Why not?" Ruth inquired.
"Because," Sandy rose her voice, then closed her eyes before calming down. "Because, I said so." Sandy spoke softly.
Ruth looked down at the floor. "I didn't mean to upset you, Mommy."
Sandy rubbed her temples in frustration. "I know, baby. I know."
The telephone rang on the kitchen counter. Sandy rushed over to get it.
"Hello?" Sandy answered.
"Hey, Dolly. We got ourselves another client. Do ya think you can meet us downtown at 5 o'clock?" A gruff voice said over the phone.
"I'll see, Rudy. Where is the meeting at?" Sandy turned towards her daughter, who was focused on the TV.
"Roxy's Cabaret. Our client also said he wanted to met Joker in person." Rudy explained.
"Well, he's gonna be surprised. Joker is still incarcerated, remember?" Sandy replied.
"Dolly, my hands are tied here. It was the only fib I could use to get him to see us. Anyway, do you wanna take the job or not?" Rudy said, impatiently.
"You haven't even told me the job, yet." Sandy scoffed.
"Look, I don't got time for this, Dolly. Just be here by 5 o'clock." Rudy hung up the phone.
"Who does that lowlife fucker think he is?" Sandy grumbled to herself.
As it was nearing 5, Sandy did her makeup in a small vanity mirror.
"Mommy, do you really have to go?" Ruth said, standing in the doorway of her mother's bedroom.
Sandy sighed, putting on a strapless dress. "Yes, sweetheart."
Ruth looked up at her mother, disappointed, but her lack of emotion on her face couldn't show it.
"Sugar, I know you're upset, but I swear I'll be home by 11. Please don't do what you did with the last babysitter." Sandy finished the rest of her clown like makeup.
Ruth still kept her disappointed eyes on Sandy.
She heard a knock on the door. "Could you get that, sweetheart?"
Ruth huffed nodding.
A tall blonde woman in her twenties appeared that the door. "Hiya! Is ya mommy home?" The woman smiled, cheerfully.
Ruth glared and nodded.
"Well, aren't ya gonna invite me in?" The woman asked.
"I don't like you." Ruth said, still glaring at the woman.
The women's cheerful demeanor disappeared completely. "Maybe I don't like you either."
Sandy headed towards the door. "Hi. Thank you so much for coming. I was worried that I was going to have to leave her alone." She sighed in relief.
The woman brought up her false happy demeanor again. "No problem. I'm Harley. Very nice to meet ya."
"Sandy. It's a pleasure. Emergency contacts are on the fridge. She needs to be in bed before 8." Sandy kneeled down to Ruth's level. "Promise me, you'll be good."
"I promise, Mommy." Ruth kissed her mother on her forehead.
"I love you. I'll be back." Sandy walked out the door, putting on her coat, heading to the elevator.
Ruth turned on the TV, turning up the news.
"Does ya mother always looks like a circus act or does she have some type of gig?" Harley asked, rummaging through the fridge.
Ruth didn't answer her eyes were glued to the TV.
"Breaking news: Just a few minutes ago all of Arkham's electricity turned off, then back on again, but 10 inmates were reported escaped from the facility, including the most infamous clown, Joker. One female inmate was also released from the scene, most known as Harleen Quinzel. The police have speculated that the two were working together, and helped each other escape. In further new-" Harley unplugged the TV.
Ruth looked up at her, confused.
"That's enough of that. You're mommy's gonna be quite surprised when she gets here. Mr J has been dying to see her again. It's a shame that she's had you, isn't it? Mr. J isn't gonna be so thrilled to see you up and about." Harley sneered.
Ruth turned towards her. "I hate you. You're mean."
Harley stuck her tongue out. "That makes two of us. Now, Mr. J told me to call him once I got her and I said I would so, beat it."
Ruth grabbed Harley by waist and tackled her to the ground.
"Get the hell off me, twerp." Harley yelled, throwing Ruth around.
Harley threw Ruth to the ground. "Now, listen here, you little shit. I told Joker I wouldn't hurt you, but I'm sure he'll make an exception." Harley pulled a small dagger out of her pocket. She hovered over Ruth, about to lay the knife on her.
A man in a red suit and clown makeup walked through the door. He pulled Harley off of Ruth.
"Mr. J, I'm sorry. She wasn't cooperating with me, so I did what I had to do." Harley said, feigning her innocence.
The man glared at her. "Leave, Harley."
"What?" Harley spoke quietly.
"I said, Leave. I don't need you anymore. I found what I've been looking for." The man said, looking over at the little girl who had no expression on her face.
"But, Mr. J, I thought we-" Harley was cut off by a laugh.
"We what? What did you possibly think we were? I told you our deal was simple. I helped you out of Arkham, then you were to help me find Sandy. You helped me, and I helped you. I've had enough of your services." The man turned over to Ruth.
Harley glared at Joker, then bolted out of the apartment.
Ruth got up and looked up at the man. "You're the Joker, aren't you?"
The man chuckled. "I wasn't always called Joker. My real name is Arthur."
"My name is Ruth." Her emerald eyes were the same as Arthur's as they stared at each other.
"That's a nice name. Who's your dad?" Arthur asked, kneeling down to her level.
"I never had a daddy. My mommy says that my daddy was a kind man, until he changed." Ruth looked away from him.
Arthur frowned. "I understand how you feel. I never knew my dad. My mother lied to me for all my life. Your mother taught me things I could never forget. Where is your mother now?"
"She's at work." Ruth yawned, rubbing her eyes.
Arthur smiled slightly. "Someone's tired." He picked Ruth up in his arms, and carried her to her bedroom.
"I like you, Joker, unlike the news." Ruth said, half asleep.
Arthur smiled, placing the small girl in her bed.
