Welp, I gave it a few weeks' try, and it's been going real nice, so I guess that's it: after 20 years, I'm getting back into Pern RP. It's sweet. I've missed it.

Eurovision post-scriptum: you know what's amazing? People largely cheer their favorites EVEN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. Screw chauvinism, yay good music. In an event that's explicitly a contest of countries, that's unique and pretty great.

Seriously Germany I still love you for giving us such a happy moment.

"Hey UK look we do the voting thing too, how d'you like it :D" says Europe, for once united.

All the French people in my TL like "stop voting for us, what the fuck" and this is beautiful.

Seriously, we talk mostly about the songs, but the production itself is INCREDIBLE. The transitions are an eyeblink despite the absurd sets, the broadcast is faultless despite going out to dozens of countries' local networks with their own custom commentary, etc.

France's complete, stubborn inability to read the room stylistically every single year kind of deserves an odd sort of respect.

I love how so many entries were like ALL THE COLOR ALL THE BOUNCE this year, like we're all so tired with the entire rest of the year.

Okay jeez gimme your share of Sweden if you don't like it, you Philistines.

Second song tonight that sounds like it could have been written by Lebo M and I DIG SO MUCH.

Sweden with a just plain great song. ❤️

Black people are owning the heck outta tonight, heck yeah.

For serious let's just only do ethnic folk pop and metal from now on.

Netherlands figures South Africa had got GROOVING nailed. Netherlands is right.

Norway like "remember BEFORE, when life was simpler and we had restaurants and travel and boys band? Well one out of three isn't so bad right? Right?"

France like "me me me me" and honestly it figures.

Yeah okay Ukraine is actually demolishing everything in there and it feels good.

"Screw it, let's just send Baba Yaga and curse everyone 🎶" - Ukraine

Lithuania with some understated but unstoppable electro GROOVE and that really works.

Oh heck yeah Finland with some solid metal that doesn't go wild but does the job.

Germany giving everyone the finger, chill like.
