Tried To Recreate Him. Did The Best I Could. The Difference Is Wild.

ok i need to speak

I just ended "Demon Deathchase" and... omg, i have so many questions.

I can close my eyes to the fact that in the novel the Marcus brothers turned out to be rapists and scumbags, I can even come to terms with the fact that Leila began to fall in love with D, but what I really can't understand … Here is a girl, a master of her craft. She can do anything with cars. Cars obey her as if they were part of her body. She is an unsurpassed mechanic who can build any mechanism out of shit and sticks. What will she do after she is released from the "supervision" of the brothers? Maybe she will go to the Capital and start rebuilding it? Maybe she will start building cars for sale? Maybe she will at least become the best mechanic in Frontier? NO. SHE. HAS GONE. TO SEARCH. THE MAN. THAT WANTED TO MARRY HER. What the hell? It seems that D is a hypnotoad. If he said that "you're a girl, do women's business" - it's like a curse. Even the most gifted master will hide her talent and go looking for a husband, have children and so on.

Also, Mayerling is so nice. I will believe that anime is a bigger canon than a novel. And that he and Charlotte (why, by the way, Kikuchi at least did not give her a name in the novel) survived and built a castle on Mars.

literally my whole life

One of the biggest issues of moving to England as a person who is Ukrainian AND neurodivergent is not knowing how to answer the small talk question of "how are you", but today I was reminded that Ukrainian blessed me with the phrase that roughly translates as "living is hard but dying would be a pity" and can we please naturalise it so I can use it all day every day

Clodia pretending to be Ukrainian willager working in Kyiv while speaking russian... What a shame.

Tho, it shows western view very accurate. Would an American vampiress know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian (what a surprise)? Would a nazi know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian? I think we all know the answer. It would be a dark irony, but I think showrunners eather didn't know...

I'm also very sour abot tolstoy's full screan cameo, but well... At least they showed true ruzzians - how they were through WWII and how nothing changed. But still... It's so westerned. Oooh, look, they kill and torture innocent people, what a fascinating rotten creatures, let's show tolstoy's book.

Still, it would be nice to see Kyivan Armand, as he meant to be in the books. But well... At least they romanticized nazis, not ruzzis. It's a progress...

As a Ukrainian fan of VC, I am very disappointed with the plot twist of the series. Of course, this could be predicted, but I hoped to the last that Armand's Ukrainian origin would be reflected at least in the series. It is very bitter that even in the 21st century, in a series that positions itself as modern and tolerant, Ukraine was again erased from history and canon.

They turned a blind eye to Ukraine. Again. And this is right now, when the genocide of the Ukrainian people and culture is taking place. They play up the narrative of a non-existent Ukraine, a Ukraine that invisible to the world.

Kateryna Shtanko (Ukrainian, 1962- ) Illustration of childrens tale "Золотий черевичок" (Golden shoe) from the series of folk tales "100 Казок" published by Publishing House "A-ba-ba-ha-la-ma-ha". Kateryna won 1st prize of the "Book of the Year" contest in 2003 for her work.

so so fucked up how Ukrainians in online spaces are like "I don't want to see anything or anyone ruzzian on my dash ever again, no matter their views" and some foreigners go "oh, you're so racist for this, you can't bring tumblr blogs into this" or "it's just pictures of moscow why are you blocking them for this jesus" or smth like that, and it's like. fellas is it "overreacting" when people don't want to see or hear anything related to a nation who oppressed them for centuries including at least two genocides with one of them going on right now, is it "overreacting" when people want to see literally any other country except the one that is killing Ukrainians every goddamn day. bro imagine living in a country that's not being invaded and arguing with someone who's currently sitting in a bombshelter hiding from ruzzian rockets second time this week about how they shouldn't bring posts about dostoyevsky into this.

OMG???? 4 eggz in 2 days! This is wild!

this used to be a city of Maryinka, as you can see it no longer exists, thanks to russians.

When the moment comes and there is no turning back and Anor Londo is ahead: - So... Mb we will return home, I will give you those 6 bottles of brandy and you will drink it, and I will sit next to you and watch memes with cats? - No! We have WORK to do! It's our DUTY!

- No please noooo I don't want to... It's ANOR LONDO MAP IS USELESS IN THERE AND THERE'S A DOG WITH HANDS! Like "The cat with hands" but even worse! - Hush. It's not that terrifying I'm sure.

- OMG YAKUMO THIS IS THE END
