I was bullied in school for being thin and having no breasts....I was told my hips were too wide in an audition in Paris when I was 17 Multiple times I didn’t get a job because I wasn’t fit enough or I’ve heard I’m not fat but also not skinny so it’s hard to categorize me. After giving birth and losing a lot of weight (purely because of stress) i did a photo shoot to celebrate motherhood....but I was told that me showing of like that made other mothers feel like shit....friends, family, people I know, people I don’t know will always have something to say about your appearance! The pressure to always look a certain way is draining and extremely frustrating. Throughout my life I have gone through so many changes physically and mentally and the scrutiny that comes with it has always made things worse!!! I have a body that works...PERIOD! It lets me know if it needs more attention...it lets me know when I am in tune with it. Whatever you think you may know or claim to see...good or bad...keep that shit to yourself! No more bodyshaming! ...this journey of self love is a tough one and you get confronted with all the things you have taught yourself to hate or dislike... For the sake of myself and my babygirl who I am a role model to...I am fine the way I look.. Skinny, fat, cellulite, snatched waist, long, short hair...big butt! It don’t matter and your opinion doesn’t matter #lovethyself #stopbodyshaming #sickofit #healing

So I recently came across a photo which started the process of me thinking about a Finnish Cats AU and I'm at that point where I can share a few things (mainly about locations). This is under a read more and I couldn't fit everything but enjoy!

Starting from the photo that got me into this:

These are Jerrie and Teazer from the Lahti production back in 2007 and what got my attention were the lyrics "me kämpän laitoimme Kauniaisiin" which translates to"we set up a place in Kauniainen". Kauniainen is a wealthy area and a municipality (located inside of another municipality called Espoo) and it's a good equivalent for Victoria Grove.

At this point my brain went "this means that Ämmässuo is the junkyard". And then THAT thought didn't leave me alone so here we are. Ämmässuo used to be an actual landfill (one article refers to it as the largest in Nordic countries) but nowadays it's a recycling centre and some construction companies use the area as well. Here's a map that shows Kauniainen and Ämmässuo (click the photo to make it larger):

Between these two locations are two golf clubs and Kauniainen and Espoo both have train stations as well. I also like the amount of detached houses present between the areas. It means that some cats are most likely allowed to go out by themselves. You don't see cats roaming free in the cities here but as soon as apartment buildings disappear from sight it's a different story.

As you might have guessed I'm going with actual cats here, and for this AU, most of the jellicles are going to be maatiaiskissoja. Maatiaiskissa is not a breed. It's just a common name for a cat population that has developed in a certain area (maatiais = landrace and kissa = cat). Basically these cats have been here for a long time and some of them look like European shorthairs. (The European shorthair is actually Finland's national cat breed and the first accepted individual to the breed (in Finland) was a maatiaiskissa.)

Okay so I kinda like the idea that Jerrie and Teazer are European shorthairs (not sure about the colour yet). I just find it funny that then these two would basically look like everyone else and let's just say that it might be beneficial to be able to pass off as a street cat or a farm cat. I also see Bustopher and Victoria as European shorthairs, possibly Misto and Griz as well. This doesn't mean that they are related. At this point I only know that Jerrie and Teazer are twins but others? No idea. I do like the hc that Munk and Old D are related tho and since I usually see them as Norwegian forest cats I'm tempted to go with that.

Me writing a fic about all of this is highly unlikely (I have never written a fic before) but in this AU the tribe has only just moved to the junkyard. I still have a lot to go through but for now I'm going with the idea that the jellicles needed a new safer environment. They are a pretty large group of cats and hiding from humans is becoming more and more difficult. One cat doesn't raise questions but a full tribe of cats will. And then there's also Macavity and his tribe. Finding the junkyard offers a chance to be invisible (for a while at least) and this is the reason why Demeter for example manages to stay hidden from Macavity. He knows she's with the jellicles at this point but that's it.

In my map above, the distance between these two locations is around 10-15 km (~6-9 miles) whiiiich is a pretty long walk if you are a cat. But the junkyard being on the outskirts could also explain why Old D for example doesn't visit that often anymore. To clarify, I'm not really following a real map here but I like the general layout so that's the one I'm going to use. I'm going to call the junkyard just "the junkyard" here. Really felt like showing you the references though which is why this post got pretty detail heavy :D

But I'll end this here, thank you for reading! I'm gonna make a second post about this AU when I have the time and I'll focus more on my OC Jacobien there :)
