Bojan on the cover of Astro Suzy, special summer edition of Suzy Magazine, focusing on astrology and spirituality. Scans and ENG Translation by: @kurooscoffee Cover Title:

Bojan Cvjetičanin: "We have a duty to change things for the better"

Article title:

We are driven by our love of life

WITH JOKER OUT, WE HAVE WITNESSED A MENTAL LEAP AND A SOCIAL PHENOMENON THAT WE HAVE LONGED FOR. THE BOYS GIVE HOPE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE CONNECTING INTO A STRONG COMMUNITY THAT CARES ABOUT THE FUTURE, EVEN THOUGH PREVIOUS GENERATIONS HAVE LEFT THEM IN RUINS. IN A FLOOD OF STARLETS AND ARTIFICIALLY CREATED ONLINE INFLUENCERS, WE GOT ROLE MODELS WHO DON'T OFFER DISCOUNT CODES, BUT IMPORTANT MUSICAL MESSAGES ABOUT VALUES. IN THE MIDDLE OF A SLOVENIAN AND EUROPEAN TOUR, THE LEAD SINGER AND VISUAL OF THE BAND SHARED WITH US WHAT HE'S THINKING ABOUT, WHAT CAUSES HE'S STANDING BEHIND, AND WHY IT'S BENEFICIAL TO DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. What are you thinking about as representatives of the new wave, the new generation? What is your attitude towards the dynamics in society, climate change, pervasive social networks, in short, everything that weighs on modern man? On the one hand, we ourselves are involved in all the processes that actively and continuously prolong the problems you are talking about. On the other hand, we are deeply aware of them and we are afraid of what is coming. It seems to me that in our generation the desire for change is very strong. There is a universal language of youth that has come together on the basis of feeling obliged and able to change things for the better. The song New Wave is about just that. We are ready to celebrate this common strength because we are encouraged by the idea that we are not alone. At the same time, we know that we are compelled to do something because someone before us has seriously 'fucked up'.

In your hit song 'Novi Val' (New Wave), already the very first verse has you wonder where to go from here. Do you know the answer?

If we want to do anything other than burn the horizon, the only way is towards community, away from egocentrism, with an onlook towards common good.

Let's stick to the anthem of the generation of love, as you named your peers and loyal supporters. The phrase 'We were born yesterday and everything is already our fault' is powerful and worrying. You have been given a pitiful lagecy by your ancestors. How do you defend yourself from taking a role of a victim and instead get actively involved in creating a brighter future?

Great question! It would be hard to change anything for the better if we put on the victim's cloak. The fact that in recent years it has become clear that there is a rebellion by people who have had enough is already a cause for optimism. When you put yourself in the role of the one who carries a scepter as a synonym of the leader of change, you move away from being a victim. And each one of us in this community carries it. In reality, we are taking the position that society is currently a victim and it is our task to defend it.

How?

We all contribute in our own way. The role of musicians is to connect people with positive messages. So by constantly reminding people about friendship, love and other social components that can be tapped into through music. In Slovenia, we have a lot of organisations that are trying to change the situation for the better in many different ways. It does not require much to at least educate oneself about what these organisations are doing. I have the feeling that many people would like to get involved and help. At the end of grammar school and at college, we were encouraged to find out about collective organisations. It was clear to them that many people would want to join of their own initiative once they knew what they stood for. I know many former classmates who are very active members and supporters of various movements. Even if we minimise our own negative energy on social networks, it is a big step towards a good state of society, and of mind.

(picture 1: Family Cvjetićanin knows how to stick together)

You seem to care about a world that is increasingly drowning in chaos. You have become idols, not only of young people, but also of their parents. Is this a burden of responsibility or does it encourage you do even more activism?

It's a great feeling when the little ones take you for an idol. As a teenager, it was also inspiring to be surrounded by the music of Big Foot Mama and Siddharta. It gave me a message in a language that I could not compare with anything else. But our creativity does not depend on what people think of us or how they perceive us. But it is a great honour to know that you are one of those who encourage someone. Many people are listening, but not hearing. Joker Out is made up of five individuals who, in real life, when the cameras and the spotlights are off, are just normal guys. We went through all the processes of growing up on the streets, socialising and playing. We went through the process of going to school, and we were not problematic adolescents. Even today, our most extreme departure from an ideal is what 99% of young people do. To party sometimes. We are not outlaws by nature.

Your work is a beacon of light, a source of hope and strength. Many have done it before you, especially the Beatles. A lot has changed since their era, much of it unfortunately for the worse. How do you keep optimistic? Why is it worth the effort?

Every musician in history who has sung about ending war and living for love has failed miserably. I believe that at least those people who follow the messenger are convinced of peace and love. If every musician encourages someone to to do so, it's a hefty amount of opponents of hate. We are driven forward by love for life.

Writing texts is a responsible job, and you are baring your soul at the same time. Where is the line, to what lengths are you willing to go to protect the most vulnerable part of yourself?

I have never consciously inhibited the process of looking inside myself. But I feel that with age and experience I understand more and more what can lead me to a deeper state of mind. In the beginning I didn't dare to dig into myself. Today I have no problem in fully exposing my feelings, because they are, after all, states that happen of their own accord - and it is impossible to force them

(picture 2: The boys of Joker Out became even closer)

No Slovenian artist has enjoyed such a fierce international success as Joker Out. Concerts in iconic European clubs are literally sold out in hours, even minutes. How do you accept fame? Is it a blessing or is there also a bit of fear?

There are certainly Slovenian musicians with international experience. Maybe not at our age, but that doesn't take away from their importance. We have achieved a very nice success here in terms of listeners, we have honed our skills and we have grown with the band as a collective. We have grasped who and what we are as a whole. We are a group of people who make music purely because we really enjoy it. Whatever feelings our music-making evokes, it all comes from us in the most sincere way, Fortunately, our music is liked by a larger crowd and we have managed to transmit our unforced joy, happiness, joy across national borders. There is no better catalyst for such a breakthrough than Eurovision, we chose the moment to participate wisely. It paid off as a successful project, because for a good band it doesn't matter which part of the world it comes from. It's important to be heard - and we were heard by a lot of people. The only thing that has changed so far is that the bonds between us have strengthened. Suddenly we have been forced to talk about emotions and experiences that we did not have before. There has been a lot of filtering of unfamiliar feelings. The desire to create increased a thousandfold for all five of us.

Are you aware of the role that the public attributes to you, to act as a beacon of light in a crowd of frustrated, bitter people?

No. I would hardly say that I can understand that. Every time I hear something like that, it strikes me that it is saying too much. I really cannot think of myself in such a strong context.

You are giving yourself away. You are constantly on the road, interviews, concerts, promotional tours. It's exhausting. How do you recover? What calms you down, fills you with grace?

It's true that we give a lot of ourselves. But we get so much more in return. Nothing calms me more than coming home and being close to my family. And of course the company of Kris, Jan, Jure and Nace. The people we were with friends before this euphoria, have stayed with us, this team surround us with a lot of love.

(picture 3: He's noticing, that young people are connecting into a strong community that cares about the future)

As a front-man and lyricist, you are even more exposed. You've crossed the magical 200 thousand followers on Instagram, which is a mega number, but also a mega stressful situation. Most young people who find themselves in such a situation turn to intoxicating substances. Can you consciously stop and say that you need time for yourself?

The only thing that made me a bit anxious was the sudden exposure to such a large audience'on social media. This brings with it unimaginable dimensions of human imagination, including malice. Imaginary stories emerge in which people literally compete to see who can come up with something more bizarre. This stress got to me at the beginning, because I felt that I had to defend myself in front of the public. In the end, I realised that I didn't need to convince anyone and that it was enough to know the truth. With the help of colleagues who have similar experiences, I have calmed down. As for the substances, I have a natural protection against those, because I am an incorrigible hypochonder. I dare not take an aspirin unless it is really urgent. Above all, I know when to stop.

You come from a close-knit, loving family. That is certainly a solid foundation on which to build your personality. What is their view of everything that happens to you?

They are very proud! Of all my achievements and of me for being able to pull off a music career combined with the academic milestone of graduating. My parents and my grandmother are definitely my biggest supporters. They accompany me on my journey with warnings, but they are more about eating regularly, to not get a stomach ache, to consume enough water and to get enough sleep. I have been chronically lacking the latter in the last few weeks.

What is your relationship to astrology, esotericism, in short, something that is intangible but can be felt?

Superstition is the one I use the most. For Eurovision I had a special pair of underpants and I was haunted by the feeling that if I didn't wear them, everything would go to hell. Jan's mum gave me a lace clover, which I didn't dare leave in Ljubljana. I asked the stylist to sew it on my outfit as a precaution. I got a clay horseshoe from a little girl, and it went with me to Liverpool. It will seem strange to some, but I believe in energies and ghosts.

How do you strengthen your spiritual side?

Not very well. I wish I had managed to acquire more spiritual knowledge in the last year. For example, basic meditation techniques and the laws of yoga, because I am definitely not physically active enough. The feeling of being 90 years old eats up most of my spirit. My back hurts all the time. The best thing I do for inner growth is to read books. Not enough, but I'm going to get better. A little less phone scrolling and more self-reflection, that'll do the job!

You know what character interactions I wanna see?

Kazuha and Freminet.

Imagine a shy Fremmy and a chill Kazuha just enjoying a breeze by the sea. Kazuha could share tale of his adventures with Beidou aboard the Alcor, and maybe talk of the water would ease Freminet up enough to share a diver experience or two.

If it ever gets too overwhelming for Fremmy, he can hide in his helmet while Kazuha just listens to the wind or maybe plays a little tune on a piece of grass.

Just wholesome vibes.

To the rude anon who sent me an ask, why yes!

I do love Fox ❤️

Yes, I am very aware he killed Fives, and I extremely doubt he would have willingly. I personally think he was most likely violated via Sith stuff from Palps before he and his men were sent on the hunt, and that he carried incredible guilt until the day he was murdered. That doesn't mean he deserves condemnation, and if you don't much care for my writing about him, then just don't read it? The Corrie Guard are fascinating and tragic for what they ended up doing, and I love all my of clone children regardless of where they serve 💜

I love my Corrie Commander, and you're just lucky I can't draw, as I'd flood my tumblr with him ❤️

So Rirune, you're hanging out with Black Heart of Lastation now huh? You trying to charm her so she'll let you off easy with your usual antics?

"Charm her? Good heavens no! I don't think I'm a match for Purple Heart, if it ever came to that!"

But... speaking of Black Heart... He's just turning into her out of instinct-

"W-Well, that said, contrary to popular belief, I'm pretty much just a wanderer who's just exploring, I really don't want to cause any trouble if I could. It's just... this time, everything's so... different. You see more factories and warehouses in Lastation, crime rates seem to increase... I had to impersonate a high-ranking person like Uni to get inside the Basilicom."

"I don't know, I just hope my fears are unwarranted..."

... How do these CPUs not get cold in this outfit? He's freezing.

One last thought on this before I force myself to finally read the books and make an honest comparison:

I LOVED the ending regarding Mal & Alina's relationship and that they're going their separate ways for now

bc as much as I love show!Mal & Archie put his everything into embodying that character and giving him nuance I still wasn't able to fully ship Mal & Alina. like yeah, they're cute and childhood friends to lovers whatever BUT he had nothing going on outside of her? Man's whole personality was "find alina, protect alina, serve alina, alina alina alina" he didn't have experiences of his own besides the trauma of losing his friends (while he was doing smth FOR ALINA smh)

so there's extreme co-dependency between both of them that's straight up holding them back at this point and I'm glad they addressed that and had them try and find who they are outside of each other's bubble (also please keep in mind that in the show everyone's in their 20s at least so it's not teenage decision-making, it's embarrassing)

#we call that growth #i'm proud of them #go on that self discovery ship baby #you earned it #he's a good bean #he just needs therapy #mal oretsev #malyen oretsev #alina starkov #malina #mal x alina #shadow and bone #s&b netflix #sab spoilers #sab tv #sab #s&b spoilers

Champion (3/20): Scorching Out Thy Sovereignty

cham·pi·on — /ˈCHampēən/

(n) - a person who fights or argues for a cause or on behalf of someone else

(v) - support the cause of; defend

—

“I don’t want these powers. They’re too much.”

Reigen said he would bear any burden too big for Mob.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Mob realized something was off. It might have been when he fell asleep on the taxi ride back home after rescuing Ritsu and woke up only groggy. It might have been when he woke up the next day and managed to get through breakfast without bending a single spoon. It might have even been three days later, when he stood up in class and stumbled through a passage in English, queasy but lacking the usual overwhelming pressure that accompanied stress.

Regardless, it wasn't until Tome said something, that Mob really acknowledged that feeling out loud.

"Well someone looks happy!"

Mob glanced at his upperclassman. Despite having had to be hauled back to the club room by Onigawara, sweaty and panting but not out cold, he wasn't as worn as he might have been weeks ago. He tilted his head, rolling that thought around in his mind for a bit, before he responded back with a wheezing, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"I'm not one to gossip," Tome explained, the rest of the Telepathy Club rolling their eyes in disagreement, "but I've heard from some reliable sources that you've been more upbeat than normal and, if I may say so, I've never seen you smile quite as much as I've seen you smile today."

Behind Tome, Kijibayashi mouthed, "She's been watching you."

Ah. "Thank you for your concern." Judging by the exaggerated outrage on her face, Tome hadn't wanted that from him.

"Concern? Of course I'm concerned! You're the one person I know who can help me finally reach my goal!" There was something about Tome that reminded Mob of Reigen and that, in and of itself, was comforting. He snorted, soft, and she pointed a finger at him. "See?! I don't think I've ever managed to make you laugh in our many weeks of knowing one another! Something's changed about you, Mob, and I want to know what!"

Had it? Mob took a moment to think about what made today different than any other day before it. Mob took several moments to think about what made today different than any day before it. Mob got lost in thinking about what made today different than any day before it.

Maybe it was the fact that he was still refueling his psychic reserve tank, as Dimple had explained. Maybe having psychic powers lead to him being more repressed or perhaps made him physically a little more...worn? Was that the right term? Or would sensitive work better? Either way, he had already experienced what would normally be several dangerous stressors and he hadn't felt the usual tell-tale staticky fuzz of an emotional buildup.

It was nice, in its own way. Even if the lack of psychic energy left him feeling a little hollowed out and numb in places.

But that still wouldn't explain the leap from 'light' to 'happy'.

“If I were to describe Uraraka in one sentence, I don’t think it would be enough as it is. She’s such a kind and caring soul and I respect the work she’s put in to becoming a pro-hero.”

From Tokoyami!

Describe my muse in one sentence!

Ochako's eyes widened, not having expected the usually silent and brooding Tokoyami to be so...kind and elaborate with his words. She could almost feel the tears well in her eyes due to his words! "You took me off guard, Tokoyami! I...I don't even know what to say." Though, she did. "Thank you for your words! I'll continue to put more work towards becoming a good heroine!" With his help too, she could do it!
