The thing about Eurovision is that somehow I always end up associating these cheesy songs with pairings.... fffff.

I've been listening to Denmark's entry (Anja - Where I Am) over and over and over... Not just because the studio version sounds better than the live performance, but. Er. It makes me think so much of Suvi's feelings toward Vesa, aaaaahhh. *_* Mostly in the early part of their relationship, the first year or two. They entered into that when she was in a really difficult and kind of closed-off state of mind, and ahhh the distance here, yes, that's it! And the armour imagery really fits for Suvi, because she is a warrior, after all. (Well, they both are, but she has more experience between the two of them. And she outranks him, too.)

...I should write her as a fighter more often. Most of the things I've done with Suvi are written at the point in her story when she's at her most vulnerable, when she's emotionally fragile. And that's fun, because there's that whole absolute mess of feelings going on, and at the same time she's putting up all these walls to protect herself. (No wonder her family had reservations about her relationship with Vesa... even if his family's reputation had been sparklingly stellar, this wasn't a good point in her life for Suvi to get Involved with anybody). But she IS a strong, competent fighter, and I want to eventually get around to writing something with that side of her. Basically she's like a bear: looks cuddly, but you don't want to get in her way. ...Oh my god, come to think of it, she'd be perfect for something action + horror. Hmm, it shouldn't be too hard to think of a scenario to dump her into, all things considered.

BUT before that, there's this one that I want to get around to, eventually, with Vesa and Niko. Something that takes place earlier on, after Tarja freezes to death out in the bush, and Vesa discovers this, and he's left to deal with it, but not alone. I have this one scene I want to write, with the two kids eavesdropping while Niko's mother and grandmother talk about all this, trying to hash out what they should do about it. After all, Vesa isn't technically their responsibility, but at the same time, well.....

Really, I should write more things with Niko in general. I love him to bits, but sometimes I don't know where to throw him. Ah, well, I'll get an idea along the way, I'm sure.

There's ALSO this one thing that I want to write about Timo and Svitlana and how they slayed the giant and saved their village at the expense of their own lives... buuut I think that one will have to be poetry, to match the poem about Tarja's death, since that one refers to this event. And that's always challenging. Plus I have no earthly idea what Svitlana's magic would be like - I've still got some reading to do. OH WELL....

Iiiiii... have just been having way too much fun with my metaphorical doll house lately, really. In fact, to be quite honest, right now I'm more invested in Vesa/Suvi (and some others) than I am in any pairing with the canon SSSS characters. Whoops. Maybe that's why I've been writing so much SSSS gen lately? Or at least it feels like more gen than usual. My perception might be skewed though.

But what I really should be doing is working on my exchange assignment instead of thinking about any of this! Oh well. xD

[Edit] AAAHHh while I was out walking I was listening to the ESC album and... stumbled across another one that feels very Vesa/Suvi. UK's entry (Lucie Jones - Never give up on you). From Vesa's point of view, at the beginning, when everything was still kind of a mess. Actually, it's even better if it's before he's realized just how he feels, and when she isn't sure about anything either. When he feels that he's just helping her and supporting her because... well, because. Because someone needs to.

...I could probably make an OC-centric playlist entirely out of Eurovision songs. And you know what, maybe some time I will. :V
