Also one point in Wiwibloggs that Matti touched on that really stuck to me, is how Käärijä redefined Finnish national character for all Europe and World. Not only put the country brightly on the map, but also ✨️colored✨️ it.
The few interactions I had with Finland before, I had an image of people who would do the important and moral work, but would also grumble while doing it. And would really love just to be left alone to get drunk in a sauna :D After Käärijä it now became a very energetic, welcoming and creative country that simply got placed in a very cold latitude so they're forced to save energy sometimes :D
I didn't have time to draw yesterday, so I decided to fuse the two prompts! And what a happy coincidence, I've been dying to draw their outfit swap for MONTHS!
