Today I found out Joost was a volunteer at Eurovision in Copenhagen 2014, serving drinks. “I was a fan and I saw a job opportunity.” 🍻
(🎥 full video VRT NWS )
part of me is screaming AS YOU FUCKING SHOULD at joost yelling fuck eurovision, the other is just, once again, pained how he went from loving this contest with his whole heart to being subjected to a worst nightmare possible
idk why people are obsessing over joost’s listener count on spotify, some people were probably only listening because of the eurovision hype and they moved on, it’s still insanely high for an independent artist making music in dutch. i’m so so proud of him
JOOST UPDATE: Joost Klein demands new witness interviews in Eurovision case, now handled by Swedish Public Prosecution Service. Swedish prosecutor Fredrik Jönsson confirmed this to RTL Boulevard & the early June provisional hearing is postponed.
sometimes i think about the support system that joost has and i start tearing up. tantu, appie, acid, and so many others he can count on. so many people he can call his family 🥹
i know it’s completely NOT the focus of the video lol but i love when he talks about consent, like here (although he’s obviously being a fucking tease) or during the florida 2009 performance when he told people to hug someone next to them with consent and kept repeating it 😭💕
i’m gonna fucking scream. all of his “violent tantrums” have been simply him not consenting to a goddamn harassment, he owes the media NOTHING especially if they corner him in his most vulnerable moments. just leave him the fuck alone
i’m very glad this is an universal experience like how did i go from aggressively looping bring me the horizon to being physically unable to listen to anything else than him 😭
show me THE photo of your fav band you took from the crowd
here’s mine:
not the best quality but look at them. they had so much fun during the europe tour and that means the world to me. that’s one of my fave pics. 🖤
just remembered how joost said “don’t let traumas be only a burden, sometimes they could also be something that moves you forward in a new direction” and now i’m sobbing
i hope he’s okay. i know he’s an adult who doesn’t need coddling, but there has been so much shit thrown his way over and over again for the past couple of weeks, and i’m just really, really sad about it.

listening to joost feels like playing the russian roulette because you don’t know if the dude is gonna rap about big tits and sucking dick or drop the most gutting lyric about grieving a dead parent you’ve ever heard
i have actually never seen the overthinking it video that joost samples in luchtballon and i started watching it and when the video got to the “i turn the radio on / there’s stromae med papaoutai” IT FINALLY FUCKING HIT ME WHY JOOST CHOSE THAT PARTICULAR SONG
of je me mag of niet soms vergeet ik dat ik écht iets heb betekent voor mensen al zijn 't 5 mensen ik ging vanuit friesland met de trein om maar een klein verschil te maken 1983
“hold someone next to you, with consent. are you here with your friends, your family? even if you’re alone, hold onto yourself. once again - with consent.”
"let the heroes go and gather, as a wanderer in this world, all i need is you"
"if you want to kill, just kill us both"
"half of his sin is mine"
"even god won't force me away from your side"
"a-xu" "lao wen" x3
"i thought you wanted to die?" "that was before i met you"
meanwhile i’m just thinking about how zico was disappointed the fics weren’t spicy enough for his taste, taeil was wondering why he is always the one bottoming, and heechul was out there fucking writing his own fics, THEY WILL BE OKAY I THINK
user: 'parsa was going for that summer body😳'

brb gonna go cry in the corner then throw myself off a cliff. I LOVE HIM
