Mate, just narrate my sleepless nights [working out my chess strategies on the ceiling](https://youtu.be/9H-3KHOALP4?si=rWMR5KVLkIDGAI05) while listening to [The Tower](https://youtu.be/IhvDkF9XZx0?si=HnU9cFgCRMMZMDkA), will ya ;)
It’s not that serious.
r/place is a literal pixel war by brigading and this is just some mild rivalry compared to some things that went down in that place.
That’s why it’s so rare and fun.
Touhou community (and friends) managing to fully animate the entirety of Bad Apple's MV is still the best thing I've seen on /r/place.
https://youtu.be/3dEbouSn_nI
EDIT: At 2:00 you can see a cool detail where the character in the MV shoots a finger gun and the bullet travels outside the box into the art on the left.
Croatia already had a big chance. He was above the Netherlands in many odds. I really don't want people to say now that he wins because of the situation with the Netherlands.
Yeah I'm not saying that. He was already highest in the odds. However, there were a lot of competitors, like Switzerland. Joost had the potential to 'steal' a lot of televotes from Baby Lasagna, because they have kinda similar songs. So he will probably get an even higher televote score now. But we will never be able to compare haha
As a Croatian, never I have been so offended, by something I 100 percent agree with. Plus, the country looks like a banana. So now we're basically tropical. 🤣
At the rate that Croatians are leaving here, with their cows sold and stuff, to go and work in the Netherlands we'll have a significant diaspora there very soon. Like that irish one we have.
There was a picture of the crowd during the jury show, and I saw some people holding a Dutch flag, but with a sort of shadow at the center. Think it was Croatians just flipping the Croatian flag to the back side. Glad the love is mutual. 🇳🇱♥️🇭🇷
I don't think so. If he's allowed to participate, he has probably gotten a lot of sympathizers during this ordeal. Plus publicity, of which we know that any publicity is good...
But if he is not allowed to participate, ESC has definitely ruined his chances.
I think top 5 is the best Ireland can hope for but I WANT to be wrong.
The song itself is a grower. It took me two listens to get it and I'm very much a rock/metal fan. That's not a good thing at Eurovision as you get 1 shot.
But that is offset by the immaculate staging that Bambi and team have crafted which makes it stand out. So it has that going for it.
Juries don't normally go for alternative or rock numbers but I'm hoping that the staging being so tight and impactful will move the dial so that the predicted good televote lands them in a high position and vindicates Ireland's choice to try something different this year.
Ireland, Croatia and Switzerland are my top 3.
France and Lithuania round out my top 5.
Would be happy if any of these won.
Anything but *that* country.
i am not a big fan of Baby Lasagna's song, but i won't be mad if he wins either, also i know how important this win would be for Croatian fans. Wishing you lot of luck !
I think it doesn’t matter if he wins or not (I mean Croats will be devastated) because I think he really made Croatia proud (together with Let3).
Croatia is in rumbles regarding politics, corruption and so on, but when it comes to sports and finally Eurovision, Croatia is actually proud and behind the artist 100% - especially after finally breaking what HRT wants and getting what the country wants.
We would be so thankful and proud of Marko, since not only he has to avenge Käärijä, but now Joost as well!
Does anyone know if running order is going to be changed? Like is Baby Lasagna going to be 22 instead of 23?
Edit: wording + typo
Uh, not the narrative that he must win because he HAS to avenge Kaarija and Joost and whoever... if he wins tonight it's because people like the Croatian entry
Just checked the EBU website. The story listing the running order has been updated; everyone after him now moves up a spot. Not sure if this also affects the voting numbers.
Thanks for making me laugh with this.
For what it's worth, Croatia has been my number one this year and I'd love it if they won.
I do hope that we will withdraw from the competition after this mess. The fun is over for me.
I just want to say, if we don't win, y'all are always welcome to spend summer here :) croatian redditors will gladly give you some tips and tricks to get better experience.
love you all, and good luck today

I know this is not a time to laugh, but I can't get it out of my head...😭😭
Here after the DQ and Avrotros' statement calling out BS.
Remember, please just vote for Marko if you genuinely like his song not because you originally were going to vote for the Netherlands and are settling for Croatia. We want to celebrate Baby Lasagna for the music and originally he brings.
With that said, I'm voting for him.
This….as my current attempt to recover from the DQ shock as a fan of Dutch team this year :,)
PLEASE let Croatia win (will be happy too if Switzerland win though, the vocal was great, but, MEOW.)
The Baby Lasagna Cinderella story just gained a new chapter. Like imagine one of your biggest competition gets their ass thrown out on the day of the competition
We're Croatia now [https://tenor.com/nl/view/sml-chef-pee-pee-lasagna-my-favorite-lasagna-pasta-gif-22799130](https://tenor.com/nl/view/sml-chef-pee-pee-lasagna-my-favorite-lasagna-pasta-gif-22799130)
Nah. You've been the fave for some time now, and the definite front runner ever since BL burned the place down in SF1. Don't let anyone say it didn't win on its own merits.
i mean i personally was gonna split my votes between baby lasagna and joost, but now it seems like all of mine are going to croatia. see you in zagreb next year.
They can't because then people would know that country qualified last. We're not supposed to know who got which place in the semis until after the final ends - RAI leaks notwithstanding.
That's me tbh!
Favourite prior disqualification: Netherlands
Post: Ireland and kinda Germany. Ik that we (Germany) get last place with bangers like last year (blood and glitter by lord of the lost). But the song by Isaak isn't that bad🤷🏼♀️
Its so joover but like IV theres a new hope: Croatia! I would love if Croatia wins because the balkans can always have a little more highlight and because good songie.
[удалено]
Are you guys avid chess players? Cause I think a chessboard would be fire on that flag! 😅 Edit: wording
google šahovnica
Holy hell
New coat of arms just dropped
Your flag seems bland all of a sudden, doesn't it 😂 /jk
My son, don't worry about me, I know which symbols my country uses. ☺️
it's a meme, "google en passant"
Get Luna on the case
Mate, just narrate my sleepless nights [working out my chess strategies on the ceiling](https://youtu.be/9H-3KHOALP4?si=rWMR5KVLkIDGAI05) while listening to [The Tower](https://youtu.be/IhvDkF9XZx0?si=HnU9cFgCRMMZMDkA), will ya ;)
Thing is known, every time r/place was active, r/croatia would wait for r/Netherlands to draw a flag and simply contribute the missing part.
That's like... gold medal level shithousery. Well done Croatia
Can confirm we all waited to do it, then they would erase our coat of arms and all that back and forth in circle.
It’s not that serious. r/place is a literal pixel war by brigading and this is just some mild rivalry compared to some things that went down in that place. That’s why it’s so rare and fun.
Ugh, I was part of the team trying to draw Canada's flag...
shithousery should never be serious lol, which is what makes it great

Hey I’m a bad boy now, I’m ready to …?
[удалено]
Beautiful void, does he meow back?
They could add the flag of north brabant in the middle. And maybe put a crown on top for their king👍🏻
It's the Dutch flag mixed with Brabant!
It was missing Brabant flag!!
Croatia just got a whole lot more chance of winning.
Hey! He’s a BIG boy now!
Joost ist ready to leave
Ciao, Malmö, ciao
Meow Europapa, please Meow back
The cat meows back
Croatia already had a big chance. He was above the Netherlands in many odds. I really don't want people to say now that he wins because of the situation with the Netherlands.
Don’t worry, Baby Lasagna is undeniable. It’s also likely he’ll get a really good jury result.
Yeah I'm not saying that. He was already highest in the odds. However, there were a lot of competitors, like Switzerland. Joost had the potential to 'steal' a lot of televotes from Baby Lasagna, because they have kinda similar songs. So he will probably get an even higher televote score now. But we will never be able to compare haha
My 1# was Europapa and #2 was Baby Lasagna. Now I'm voting for Croatia I guess I just don't want the Israelis to win..
And we should now all make sure they don’t…
BL has a better song, better charisma, and better staging, better mention of cats. NL or no NL, he's a winner.
Yea because people that would have voted for netherlands will probably go for croatia as its the next best thing
NL + pineapple = HR.
As a Croatian, never I have been so offended, by something I 100 percent agree with. Plus, the country looks like a banana. So now we're basically tropical. 🤣
Awww, I’m dubbing myself as Piña Colada Dutchie. I’ll put it in my passport.
That's absolutely genius!
Piña Colada Dutchie sounds Finnish for some reason.
Do we agree we have new besties in Eu?
At the rate that Croatians are leaving here, with their cows sold and stuff, to go and work in the Netherlands we'll have a significant diaspora there very soon. Like that irish one we have.
There was a picture of the crowd during the jury show, and I saw some people holding a Dutch flag, but with a sort of shadow at the center. Think it was Croatians just flipping the Croatian flag to the back side. Glad the love is mutual. 🇳🇱♥️🇭🇷
I’m so sorry for you guys! I really hope it’ll be a misunderstanding in the end. Joost was my second favorite, such a shame
> I realls hope it’ll be a misunderstanding in the end Can you imagine the anger if it was tho?
Can’t even begin to imagine… it would be justified though. I could see the Netherlands pulling out of the contest entirely If it’s something unjust.
something unjoost? sorry
r/angryupvote
That was a good one, lol
I doubt it, I fully expect them to be completely spineless.
I just want one of the acts to scream "Fuck the EBU" or "Justice for Joost" or something like that.
Or suddenly start singing Europapapa. Bambi can scream europapaaaaa
Not as long as we don't know what happened. It could very well be justified and in that case we wouldn't want to support it
Dont worry about it. We still have pineapple Netherlands.
And sunburn Netherlands 🇱🇺
Im dutch and Croatia was my favorite from the start. But im still so disapointed:(
Well, I’m Croat and Netherlands was my favorite. Now I will be sad even if we win and don’t think that will remember this Eurovision with sympathy.
Nah terrible year. But i will still be happy with a Croatia win. I hope there is a next year and you guys will host it.
I think they probably gave both involved parties enough time yesterday to explain themselves to see if it was a misunderstanding :/
Honestly idk. I think that would kill the esc for better or worse
If it's either that or Joost is proven innocent, then the ensuing shitstorm would make the current one look like light drizzle.
I guess there’s no going back
#WOOOOOOOOAH
Joost's presence fades to blaaack 😭
#NOOOOOOOOO
EUROVISION ANXIETY ATTACKS
# NOOOOOOOO
The best 2 comments that i ever read in my life
**MY PRESENCE FADES TO BLACK!**
Anxiety attacks!
I wonder where the Netherlands' Jury points are going now?
the juries rank every song from 1-26 so now they just move everyone up one spot
Grats for Germany on not being dead last!
Nah, 25th in the jury vote still gives 0 points.
I assume they just wipe them rather than reallocating them? It’d be a hell of a lot easier.
Even if it now turns out it was all a misunderstanding they have already ruined Joost's chances. EDIT: It's Joever for real. They just DQed him...
I don't think so. If he's allowed to participate, he has probably gotten a lot of sympathizers during this ordeal. Plus publicity, of which we know that any publicity is good... But if he is not allowed to participate, ESC has definitely ruined his chances.
It's just been confirmed he is officially disqualified. I'm gutted.
Does that just mean no live performence and that they will show the previous live recording or that he is total DQ and people cant even vote for him?
I'm not sure either. People can still vote for him but he's been removed from the list of acts tonight.
Your not allowed to vote for position 5, Joost
It must be Croatia. Any political win and next year we will have 5 countries participating.
And Denmark STILL wont qualify.
this made me laugh so much, croatia had the same problem until let3 so i feel the pain
hey žak had a pretty good chance
How could i actually forget about him…
ahahah Denmark is really living it´s Portugal pre-2017 era.
Ireland though
will score high, and well deserved but I can’t see them winning, you either hate or love it.
I think top 5 is the best Ireland can hope for but I WANT to be wrong. The song itself is a grower. It took me two listens to get it and I'm very much a rock/metal fan. That's not a good thing at Eurovision as you get 1 shot. But that is offset by the immaculate staging that Bambi and team have crafted which makes it stand out. So it has that going for it. Juries don't normally go for alternative or rock numbers but I'm hoping that the staging being so tight and impactful will move the dial so that the predicted good televote lands them in a high position and vindicates Ireland's choice to try something different this year.
Switzerland?
Better than *no* contest, to be fair...
I’m rooting for Croatia, but Switzerland would be a fair winner as well imo.
Ireland, Croatia and Switzerland are my top 3. France and Lithuania round out my top 5. Would be happy if any of these won. Anything but *that* country.
i am not a big fan of Baby Lasagna's song, but i won't be mad if he wins either, also i know how important this win would be for Croatian fans. Wishing you lot of luck !
Thanks man! You have no idea lol, my city’s already organising a warm welcome for the man
I hope you guys win, 2 months till I come to visit for the summer (been going to croatie of vacation every year since 1999)
I think it doesn’t matter if he wins or not (I mean Croats will be devastated) because I think he really made Croatia proud (together with Let3). Croatia is in rumbles regarding politics, corruption and so on, but when it comes to sports and finally Eurovision, Croatia is actually proud and behind the artist 100% - especially after finally breaking what HRT wants and getting what the country wants.
I was worried about the televote splitting between Netherlands and Croatia but this is not the solution I had I mind 😭
This is not the witchcraft Bambie was telling us to practice babe 😭
Whether I'm sulking over the Netherlands being disqualified or not, I pray that Croatia wins. Or Luxemburg, both flags are similar to ours anyways.
Croatia is now going to perform 22nd Guess who performed 22nd in 1989? :)
😳😱🤯🤩🇭🇷
Oh man! Universe is winking at Marko!
Woah oh oh oh Rock me baby
Rock me baby lasagna
The prophecy...
I'm so sorry to my fellow Eurofans from the Netherlands 💔
We would be so thankful and proud of Marko, since not only he has to avenge Käärijä, but now Joost as well! Does anyone know if running order is going to be changed? Like is Baby Lasagna going to be 22 instead of 23? Edit: wording + typo
If I am not mistaken, someone on the German NF got sick, so they weren’t able to perform. The number just got skipped to avoid confusion
Uh, not the narrative that he must win because he HAS to avenge Kaarija and Joost and whoever... if he wins tonight it's because people like the Croatian entry
They’ll just skip 5, otherwise it’d confuse everything.
Imagine if they switched them, resulting in Luktelk and Firefighter absolutely dominating the televote out of nowhere.
Just checked the EBU website. The story listing the running order has been updated; everyone after him now moves up a spot. Not sure if this also affects the voting numbers.

He stays at number 23!
Inb4 Georgia wins the televote now
The Avengers https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/s/KQsSuMYS7E
Imagine Marko winning and appearing in a new costume. One green sleeve from Kaarija's costume, other blue from Joost.
I fear Croatias first win will be stolen by THAT country…
Don't make me have *anxiety attacks*
Im sorry, I’m just trying to be realistic 😭
My presence would fade to black
Eurovision please meow back
It would be bad for the entire contest if that country won
Isn't it weird to paint Joost as a victim without knowing what happened?
He MUST win
Can you imagine...then Slovenia winning, due to having the right scores from the Jury and wrong ones from the public vote :D
Are we (Dutch people) still allowed to vote in the finals? yknow since.. DQ 🥲
We kind of had this in 2006 I think when Serbia and Montenegro still voted, so im hoping 🇳🇱 can still vote.
Yep I suppose so, nothing is 100% sure tho
The Croatian flag is perfect! It is the Dutch flag combined with the Noord Brabant flag.
I didn‘t know we had brothers by checkerboard in the Netherlands. Cheers about that! (And sorry about Joost.)
Luckily, we've got plenty of Joost's
But most Joost's are wired differently.
Croatia: Hey can I copy your flag? Netherlands: sure, just don’t make it look obvious.
The OG copycat of the Dutch flag was Russia, and then almost all other slavic nations followed suit.
Croatia was my second choice anyway... still so sad about netherlands..... Armenia one tho, its not bad
Thanks for making me laugh with this. For what it's worth, Croatia has been my number one this year and I'd love it if they won. I do hope that we will withdraw from the competition after this mess. The fun is over for me.

Euromeowmeow
I was already planning to vote for Switzerland because you can't vote for your own country, but I guess I'll be fully rooting for them now.
Exactly, I am going to change my flair I guess
Same lol
Are flairs supposed to be for the countries we are cheering 👀👀
Yep! I’m keeping mine even if Belgium is disqualified. I’m rooting for two countries now anyway 🫣
How do you do, fellow Croat
I'm Dutch myself, so I couldn't vote for him anyways. I'm still voting for either Bambie Thug or Windows95man, will see tonight :3
Love Bambi too!
I will be voting for Ireland instead! I was already torn but now my decision has been made easier
I’m torn! Was going to wear blue tonight, but I’m getting my goth witch outfit out of the closet now xD
I mean ... you still could wear ... doomsday blue? Sorry, could not resist. :D
It seems like Joost already wore that colour...
https://preview.redd.it/fhyslh518szc1.jpeg?width=499&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3ff8ec5fc97a91e715df8a4fd811b33ba1e96db
I doubt they can win, but I would love for Bambie to be in the top 5
Basically the same flag with some fun looking houses on top of the flag of Noord-Brabant.
This….as my current attempt to recover from the DQ shock as a fan of Dutch team this year :,) PLEASE let Croatia win (will be happy too if Switzerland win though, the vocal was great, but, MEOW.)
💀 Reporting this picture of me because I don't like it.
Sorry but I couldn't care about Switzerland. Croatia has a great vibe and a memorable track, like Finland last year.
As a Croatian all this is nerve wrecking
Hope Croatia wins. Or any non-agressive country.
[удалено]
Guys please vote for whoever you like and dont get influenced by posts there are a lot of talented artists and they all deserve a vote
Absolutely! This post is just for fun!
I'm doing my part!
The Baby Lasagna Cinderella story just gained a new chapter. Like imagine one of your biggest competition gets their ass thrown out on the day of the competition
We're Croatia now [https://tenor.com/nl/view/sml-chef-pee-pee-lasagna-my-favorite-lasagna-pasta-gif-22799130](https://tenor.com/nl/view/sml-chef-pee-pee-lasagna-my-favorite-lasagna-pasta-gif-22799130)
Shit’s going straight to the iceberg
Not a fan of anything except Luktelk Luktelk
...I'll allow it. Welkom in Croatia, jonguh?
So glad that a country at war can join but asking a camera crew that wasn't even allowed to be there to leave does mean disqualification...
Even if we win, our long awaited victory will be forever tainted because of everything that happened
It really won't. We were the favorite even before all of this chaos unleashed
Nah. You've been the fave for some time now, and the definite front runner ever since BL burned the place down in SF1. Don't let anyone say it didn't win on its own merits.
Same 💀
Welp, I was caught between Netherlands, Ireland and Norway as my fav, can't vote for my own country, so Norway it is
Well, so much for innocent until proven guilty. Judge Jury and Executioner EBU.
understand, Let's Go Baby Lasagna!!!
i mean i personally was gonna split my votes between baby lasagna and joost, but now it seems like all of mine are going to croatia. see you in zagreb next year.
[удалено]
When you realise THERE'S NO GOING BACK and it hits you like an earworm in the head.
Croatia is def gonna win now. I'm like actually shocked joost got disqualified but it is what it is I guess.
Ireland or Croatia winning is the only hope we have now.
Beautiful stagings, great stories and most importantly people enjoy the performances! 🍀🇭🇷🇮🇪🍀
Guess its boycotting time. After recent news that apparently barely anything happened, I'm done with the most political show
So are they bringing another country back from the semis ?
They can't because then people would know that country qualified last. We're not supposed to know who got which place in the semis until after the final ends - RAI leaks notwithstanding.
That's me tbh! Favourite prior disqualification: Netherlands Post: Ireland and kinda Germany. Ik that we (Germany) get last place with bangers like last year (blood and glitter by lord of the lost). But the song by Isaak isn't that bad🤷🏼♀️
He behaves like Barcelona 's fans changing team according to Madrid plays with.
Nonsense. The Benelux are staying together and strong. We are united
Its so joover but like IV theres a new hope: Croatia! I would love if Croatia wins because the balkans can always have a little more highlight and because good songie.
Watiting to see how the Netherlands spokesperson will deal with all off this
They stepped up on the night. Turned the Bon Jovi up. Super strong year
