Joakim Thåström on Mikael Wiehe's lap at the 1985 ANC-gala (Swedish rock against Apartheid) chatting with swedish prime minister Olof Palme.
In 1983 Mikael Wiehe and his Hoola Bandoola Band-partner Björn Afzelius did a string of gala-events to raise money for the victims of war in El Salvador and Palestine. On the bill for a show in Stockholm was also a solo Joakim Thåström with an acoustic guitar. After finishing his set Thåström went to find Wiehe to ask if he'd heard him play.
"No sorry, I've been sitting in here rehearsing" said Wiehe.
"I did your song Fred [Peace]"
This was a bit surprising to Wiehe since Thåström had dissed his band in the press saying "Hoola Bandoola is as boring as Olof Palme". But Thåström, who is a big fan of Hoola Bandoola, had basically learned how to play guitar to Hoola Bandoola's songbook.
"As I recall, it was then he told me that Imperiet was going to record a cover of Fred" Wiehe tells "I was a fan of Ebba [Grön], I thought Ung & Kåt was as good as She Loves You, so of course I was happy and flattered. But I admit that my first thought was that now they'll butcher the song" [Source]

Figured I’d take a minute to scan the postcards that came with the merch I had preordered from eeo! If I’m not mistaken, I should only be missing the café one… which is likely because I didn’t order any of the café designs, haha. I love how cute all the new outfits are — I’d probably buy them all if they ever released official versions someday! These scans are available in better quality (along with their backs & front/back PDF sets) here.
Pac: Take care of Ramon, take care of Richas, ok? See you on the other side, big boy.
Fit: [Laughs] Take it easy, big boy. Take it easy, big boy. Actually, nononono– You can't just say "big boy" and then just expect me to not drag you outta here. [Fit tries to lasso Pac] You're coming with me.
Pac: No, I need to leave!
Fit: You're coming with me. You are not dying today! You are not dying today!
Pac: I need to leave, Fit! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Ironmouse: Are you guys like, having sexy time?
Fit: There's homosexual activity going on Mouse, don't worry about us, ok?
Ironmouse: You guys, we don't have time to be gay right now.

Pac: I'm just here to say goodbye to you, Fit.
Fit: Goodbye? We're not– we're gonna be fine, we're going to get out of here, don't worry.
Aypierre: Yeah, don't worry!
Pac: I know, but like– I will sleep until the end, you know? I will pass through this moment sleeping, man. I won't be able to be awake for the moment.

Aypierre: [Not paying attention to their conversation] Is that bigger cell? I don't think it's a bigger- biggest one.
Fit: Oh... Thank you Pac, thank you.

Fit: Wow.
Aypierre: Wow.
Pac: And if you need this one also, maybe, who knows? [Throws him more items]
Fit: Ohhh, well hey– just take this to remember me by, ok? [Tosses him a photo of himself – the same one Aypierre was carrying all day yesterday]
Pac: [Laughs] Ok, I will sleep holding the picture you know, like this. You know, I will dream about you, Fit. And I hope this is gonna be good dreams. I see you in the other side. Good luck, my friend.

Fit: Ok, c'mon, no no no, come on, we got this we got this!
I made Machete and Vasco kiss in Sims Medieval (they're in the church, right in front of everyone, so this is definitely Not Canon but still fun) (also I hope this is ok! I know you like fanart, this is. uh. almost fanart?)
I feel like I've seen most of what interests me in FiMFiction for the time being, so I read through some good ol' reliable Stardew Valley fanfics last night, only to realize.
Haley x Female Farmer is basically Rarijack. Rarijack adjacent.
For 💖🎀, what about Marx? Little cute creature concealing incredible magic and uncanny features! I think he could be so mean to her ❤️
oh... anon you are very big brained for this one. he could unfortunately be so so mean to her.... and he has such pretty pretty wings! she would be enraptured instantly.
Idk why I just felt like pike and karkat (from homestuck) would be friends, tbh I don’t think you’re familiar with the fandom I just felt rude drawing your OC without telling you though lolol….
I feel like they would argue about something pointless like eating corn with or without butter lol, but then introduce each other to their interests and just totally love them
Ty for moomers!
WAIT THIS IS SO EPIC!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH <333 THEY LOOK SO CUTE INTERACTING OMG
Me, watching the first hobbit movie with gf: God, they always smoke so much like Jesus Christ, how come everyone hasn’t died from lung cancer at the age of six?
Gf, like immediately: Maybe they have evolved past it
Me: Evolved past it? Like, that was the thing that their evolution prioritized, being able to survive weed?
What I love about Romantic Killer is that she never changes her mind on love. She just doesn’t want to fall in love, and all Riri’s attempts at making her date just led to her ending up with an amazing group of friends where they all support and love each other.
