Tumblr is a bitch so I don't think I can post the uncensored version 🙄🙄

Käärijä's song in Eurovision 2023 was very important, to me and to many others. Not only becasuse all the charisma and good performance and better vibes, but also because of the language. Käärijä refused to sing in English and did it in his native language, Finnish, instead. It might not sound like a big deal, but the popularity of this song has made a lot of people rethink their oppinion on the language.

I have loved Finnish since the moment I first heard it (not with cha cha cha, years ago), so it makes me happy, even proud, that other people are starting to love it too, including Finns who could have felt self-conscoius or like they spoke the "weird language" in Europe.

The song also captures perfectly the energy of the character I created to represent the Finnish language, metal-like and hard but in such a cool way, and also happy and silly. It is perfect indeed.

So, Cha cha cha for everyone!!

Illustration inspired by My Sister's Crown by Vesna, which is sung in four languages. I used the slavic ones for this drawing: Ukrainian, Czech and Bulgarian. (The other language is English).

Symbology includes traditional embroidery from their lands, St. Olga's crown and a sunflower, Ukraine's national flower. Also, of course, folk clothes.
