Bojan Cvjetićanin is a college flunkie who’s been disowned by his parents, and after an explosive blowout with his friends at a birthday party, he isolates himself from the world—which isn’t hard when you’re working three jobs just to make rent. He’s bitter, exhausted, and the most human contact he’s had outside of serving coffee or beer is texting “nudes?” to random people on Tinder just so he has something to jack off to. In short, he’s miserable and ready to make it other peoples’ problems.
He’s picking up his Monster Energy and pack of Marlboro at the gas station when the clerk suddenly tells him he likes his hat—“Women want me, fish fear me. Very funny,” the guy chuckles. Bojan thinks nothing of it until the guy talks to him again. And again. And again. Bojan plays along, thinking he can score some free lotto scratchers or candy, but overall the guy—Jere, he learns—seems like a total rube.
Unknowingly though, this small encounter sends Bojan on a painful but necessary trajectory of self-reflection and reluctant healing; reconnecting with old friends, reopening wounds to breathe, and bettering himself. Jere sees through Bojan’s crass, angry attitude and grips him by the hand, raising him from the early grave he’s headed towards.
But what happens when Bojan realizes the depth of his feelings for Jere goes beyond just friendly? When he’s forced to pry open his greatest insecurities and ask himself, “Could anybody ever truly want me?
I was commenting with my friend that "Behind those eyes" should be renamed to "Blue eyes" to get the BoKris and the BoJere girlies fighting for a week and then Bojan would say the song is actually about Jure and the Bojure girlies get to have something for onc-
with how often Bojan likes to nap in random places at random times, I think it's safe to say Jere saw him napping at least once and now I'm feeling so soft 😭 help
Jere probably stood in a dark and watched for hours how Bojan was sleeping wrapped in formulalakanat when he stayed over
Oh, he's watched him nap backstage at ESC, in his hotel room, at his apartment, in the minivan from Helsinki to Turku (he crashed after the bbq like a toddler), backstage at Olympia, and at his apartment (the bigger one), at least.
First of all, big thanks to @j-restlessgeek for being the best test audience / beta reader 💛💛💛 without your support I would have dropped this 15 times at least 🙏😭 Thank you so, so much!!!
And now, enjoy ✨ the post ✨ 🥳
(You know, I haven't even realized how much I missed Bojan in this series before I started working on this. So many ideas...)
What follows is basically a mismatched collection of unrelated ideas. Sit comfortably, this is going to be a long post 👀
That damn smile...
Don't worry, Käärijä won't fall overboard, Bojan is holding him 😊
It's that cliche picture of a couple lying in a meadow except they are in Finland so they went to the forest instead
