[goldstarsforall]

Im interviewing people rn (like im sitting on an interview panel judging people) I am so nervous,,, I am probably more nervous then some of the interviewees

fucked up the roster for the week and accidentally scheduled two guards who only tell the truth on the same day. fuuuuck now anyone can find out which is the right path to go down

i like when you watch a video essay from 5+ years ago and they make a joke/apologize for how long the video is and the runtime is like. 35 minutes. when we now live in an era of 3 hour intricate breakdowns of bad kids shows being everywhere.

Botnia Paradise English Covers

Just for fun I translated and recorded my two favourite Botnia Paradise songs! I worked off the literal translation from this video, and tried to rewrite the lyrics to fit the meter, vibe, and theme!

Tracks might be a bit quiet, so be prepared to turn up your volume <3

Lyrics for both below the cut!

THE BACHELORS OF THE SEA

Dear god, Dan-Ole Just listen to me

There are two ways you can live your life, Dan-Ole You can live it well, or watch and let it pass You have put a leash around yourself, Dan-Ole And on the other end your mom is holding fast For 40 long years now you’ve been standing still No matter what I’ve done to push you forward But I know that you want this, the chase, the hunt, the thrill It’s time to cut that umbilical cord

So put on your dancing shoes tonight, Dan-Ole The bachelors are gonna play the field It’ll be all eyes on us tonight, Dan-Ole It’s you and me The bachelors of the sea

But Bertel, you’re not a bachelor.

Ah, thanks for the reminder… Boarding completed!

We have got a lot to get through now, Dan-Ole Let’s first address the clothes in which you’re clad Have you looked into a mirror yet Dan-Ole? Well, my better coat was buried down with Dad. Either way, I think we’d better hit the shop We’ll get everything, jacket, pants, and shoes So relax, take a drink, and put on some perfume Soon it’ll be time for your debut

So put on your dancing shoes tonight, Dan-Ole The bachelors are gonna play the field It’ll be all eyes on us tonight, Dan-Ole Because you’ll be… The bachelor of the sea

Wait, wait, wait, Bertel! Bertel, listen, we have a problem. I can’t dance.

Why not?

It’s not that I won’t, I just can’t! I was born with two left feet.

We can fix that! Follow me

Step forward, stay on track One two three four, then step back Step to the side, then a jump Hands on the waist, now look up

Slowly slowly, quick quick, slowly slowly, quick quick, slowly slowly You’re totally doing it! Ay, ay, ay!

So put on your dancing shoes tonight, Dan-Ole The bachelors are gonna play the field It’ll be all eyes on us tonight, Dan-Ole Because you’ll be… what?

The bachelor of the sea!

So look out cuz here comes Bertel and Dan-Ole Thunder duo on the dance floor guaranteed It’ll be all eyes on Bertel and Dan-Ole It’s you and me The bachelors of the sea.

BACK IN BUSINESS

Oh yeah Heart is pumping but time stands still Feel a little shaky, but I’ve got the skill Yeah I took a break but now I’m back again I got a date with destiny, we’re more than friends

Because I’m back (He’s coming back, he’s coming back!) And baby it feels like I never left Because I’m back (He’s coming back, he’s coming back!) I’m playing high and winning like it’s theft

I wanna go, I won’t wait, living in the fast lane Watch the old men playing while I stalk my prey, yeah

Empty your pockets of all that you’ve got I’m shooting high and I’m coming in hot Good luck guys, try not to break the bank

Because I’m back In business Oh baby I’m the money man Bertel is back In business A high roller in luxury class Gimme that champagne Party at my place If you’ve got cash to burn then you’re invited in Because I’m back Can I get a witness? Bertel Bäck is back in business

He’s been a free man for the past eight months Free of joy in his life (Why live like that?) For over half a year he’s been resisting even The most tempting of good times (Not anymore!) Not anymore! He’s had enough already Gonna shuffle up those cards and make a dime (Shuffle up those cards now) Listen to me! We’re betting strong and steady You gotta dare to win sometimes (Oh dare to win)

Ladies and gents, cough up your cents It’s the greatest sound of them all No more slow laments, no, turn up the tempo I wanna see that dealer crawl

Because I’m back In business Oh baby I’m the money man Bertel is back In business A high roller in luxury class Gimme that champagne Party at my place If you’ve got cash to burn then you’re invited in Because I’m back Can I get a witness? Bertel Bäck is back in business

Fifteen thousand dollars*! We make a pretty good team, Bertel!

Yeah, I know! It’s a good start!

Good start? Hey, listen. You gotta know when to stop.

Uhh, do they call you “Cash Out”? Or do they call you… Double Cheeseburger?

Uh… hot shot. Did you hear me? Hot shot!

I’m the biggest hot shot that you’ve ever met Fifteen thousand* on red!

Because I’m back In business The king has got his crown on head Bertel is back In business I’m about to be wealthy man Gimme that champagne Party at my place If you’ve got cash to burn then you’re invited in Because I’m back Can I get a witness? Bertel Bäck is back In business

Black! House wins!

*if you're wondering why I changed it from 10000 euros to 15000 dollars, it was because in my Canadian ass accent I sounded really silly saying euros, so I did the currency conversion on it, and it would equal about 15000 CAD/USD, so I went with that!

Yeh, in a way of 'this is everything I want to be and whilst he supports me achieving it, deep down I know it can never happen'

was it me or was Bertel kind of gay for Tuplajuusto?

[goldstarsforall]

World Organisation of the Scout Movement [reference sheet]

This org was designed for quite a while now, actually! But I still like how he turnt out, especially the shading

He looks like he has never aged a day!

[goldstarsforall]

Being outdoorsy sucks... I'm at the point where all my stuff is failing, (aka I bought stuff three years ago and im at the 'this needs replacing and I should upgrade but that's spenny). TURNS OUT A SUMMER SLEEPING SYSTEM IS £100+ ajhakhsaohasdhj

[goldstarsforall]

"Bertel Bäck is back in business!" he said, before immediately losing everything.

[goldstarsforall]

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

[goldstarsforall]

So like I’ll cook eventually trust

For now though I gift you a Botnia Paradise doodle since I’ve been watching it lately and it’s stuck to my brain like a leech to a blood vessel

Dan-Ole my king ❤️❤️❤️

[goldstarsforall]

This sucks so bad I’m gonna (remembers suicide jokes are bad for your mental health) join a secret military group to overthrow my father’s tyrannical reign

[goldstarsforall]

Do you think he ever tried plucking the stars like berries?
