One of the few things I will actually get nostalgic for is back when we did kinda all understand that even when a movie was set "in reality" sometimes bonkers shit would happen and that was fine because it's a movie. Like now absolutely everything has to make logical sense or have 50 pages of lore or a whole director's commentary justifying why it doesn't and it SUCKS.
Like I do think keeping certain things realistic in media Is Important and I won't lie I love me a good "real x reacts to the x in y film" video or a historical costume takedown but at some point we all gotta learn how to be okay with movies not being realistic again. That CinemaSins/Honest Trailers mindset of "lets pick apart every movie for every single thing that isn't realistic or contradictory or not explained right now/enough" completely ruins your brain and we gotta start to walk back that damage so we can go on to support and make silly, heartfelt, fun movies that don't have to bend over backwards to try to suspend your disbelief for you or whatever.

it's my day off and I have already had one formal phone call and I'm now waiting for my new desk chair to be ready for pickup and I had an exhaustive day yesterday hosting vaalikahvit for five adults, one toddler and two dogs, so may I pleeeeaaaaaasssseeee get to fuck around and imagine blorbo nonsense and draft an AU fic I'll never write because I still haven't made that sideblog for this kinda shit instead of doing anything useful?? 😩🙏
so today I'm thinking of a no-band-AU semi-inspired by this post I made a week ago
in which Olli and Aleksi have recently moved in together in their new fancy house and they're so happy and in love and having a lot of sex (yes this is an important plot detail 🥰)
(spoiler alert: there is no plot. not even a little bit (hence I won't be writing this))
their relationship had a controversial start because they were still dating other people when they fell in love
Joonas is pining for Joel who's in a toxic on/off relationship with Samy
Joel may be struggling with something else too idk haven't decided, but Joonas is there for him always and he loves Joel so so much
as for Tommi and Niko: maybe Tommi and Olli used to be an item at some point, although he's not the one Olli broke up with to be with Aleksi
and maybe Joonas and Niko had something going on but Niko ended it because he saw how in love with Joel Joonas was
so Niko and Tommi have lots of deep discussions about whether it's weird for Tommi to see Olli with Aleksi (not really because it's been a while and he can see how happy Olli is now (way happier than he was with his previous partner))
and about how it is for Niko to see Joonas suffering so much because of Joel (it's hard but there's not much niko can do about it is there)
and yeah they end up spending the night together at some point ��� they decide to keep it casual and low-key though so they tell no one
eventually it becomes maybe a little more than just friends hooking up but they're still sorta chill about it and it feels very natural (for Tommi it's better than the random one-night-stands he's been having and for Niko it's definitely better than worrying about Joonas all time time)
and yeah, as it is a non-band-AU I've also given some thought to what they all could be doing instead of being in a band (which is my favourite part of non-band-AUs hehe)
first of all, Tommi is a paramedic because I recently re-watched this old interview in which they all tell the what they'd be doing for a living if they weren't musicians in a band and that's Tommi's answer
ngl it would be kinda funny if I gave everyone the occupation they mention in the video but I think 'gravedigger' for Niko would be a tad too gloomy for the purposes of this AU lol, so he's a writer. a struggling one maybe, but still, and he spends a lot of time in his head (very in-character I knoooooooww <3)
Olli is a graphic designer at a... ummm... a place where graphic designers work? idk just some company, he works from home a lot (so that he can have sex with his bf during his breaks)
Aleksi is still a producer, has a fancy-ass studio in the house. Robin is one of the artists he works with, because of course he is
Olli and Aleksi secretly want to ask Robin if he'd be up for a threesome but he's a literal puppy and oblivious and they don't know how to bring it up lol
and maybe Johnny's Aleksi's co-producer and they also fantasize about having threesome with him 😂 sorry yes they are very horny and kinky in this AU
not sure what Joel and Joonas could be doing, but I like to imagine them as co-workers in some kinda music business or whatever. maybe they're also roommates, just to make it extra painful for Joonas 😭 and maybe Joel is a musician on the side (plays covers at bars etc.), because I simply can't imagine him another career than music
(Joonas goes to see his every single gig, sometimes without Joel knowing it)
a random "scene" I've thought of includes Niko and Joonas coming over to test the new sauna at the Matela-Kaunisvesi residence, but because Niko and Joonas feel awkward having sauna together, they end up mixing the pairs and so we have Aleksi and Niko having deep discussions in the sauna and Joonas and Olli talking about sex while waiting for their turn lol (they've been friends since forever and maybe had some experiments together when they were teens so it's very natural for them)
but yeah, the reason why I'm not writing this AU is because I have no clear plot for it 😔 but honestly? sometimes it's fun just creating these AUs and characters in my head 🥺
I wish I could write all these ideas into actual stories but I'm scared of biting off more than I can chew, so I intimidate and overwhelm myself from even giving it a fair try 😭
so that's it pretty much! if anyone wants to help me figure out an actual story idea out of this, you know where to find me 👋
next I think I'm gonna go keep on procrastinating by creating Olli & Aleksi's fancy-ass house on The Sims 4 byeeeeeee

ha, i’m a mixture of anger and sadness rn. i’m sad bc normally cassie’s books leave me, yes, crying, but also satisfied.
…and rn i’m not satisfied. and i think that’s why i am disappointed. it’s the first tsc book where i don’t feel absolutely elated and destroyed with an ending. and that fucking hurts and sucks.
i wanted this book to lift me up for a bit. not to leave me feeling more like death. and maybe that’s, you know, a very personal thing. but goddamnit.
christopher deserved better and it kills me bc honestly, i don’t get the necessity of his death, it wasn’t necessary to make us sad and i don’t think his death had much of an impact besides making them (the characters) suffer. i’m pissed. i’m sad. i’m disappointed.
like i said, probably a very me thing. but agh, i’m sad. and rn it’s so difficult to look past that and see the things that i did like and enjoy (also bc half of those things include kit).
agh.
