I never realized its been 50 years since Goncharov came out. My dad handed me a rare vhs copy his cousin purchased in a dollar store in NYC many years ago. I saw this film back in 2009 when I was just a little fella, completely ignorant to what good cinema entailed until I was exposed to this greatness.
My mind was BLOWN.
I told my friends about it and after watching it together, they too were enamored.
We laughed, cried, and were cheering by the end of the film.
No longer were the playground filled with games of patty cake and freeze tag. NO. We only played mafia, exchanging gold and diamonds (rocks) for elicit substances (dry erase markers). If one of the kids ratted out our dealings to the authorities (teachers who were in on it) we would "kick him out of the family" (an iconic line the Boss uses when his favorite son betrayed him to the Russians) We tried bribing the authorities but they were "too clean for it".
But after a while, we stopped playing because we didn't really have any competition. How were we supposed get into cool action fights if we were the only gang on the block. We got bored.
Admittedly, I don't think any of us really understood what the film was about. We just thought the action was cool.
Oh, the scene when the weiner dog pulls up on the motor cycle to save the main character from a 50ft fall off a cliff was pretty rad.
Its a shame I no longer have a vhs player to watch this amazing film again. 😔
Happy 50th anniversary Goncharov.

ROLL UP LIKE A HOT WHEEL, I FUCK A BITCH UP WITH A HIGH HEEL
ALL LOVE FOR MY SAVIOR, BUT YOU DON’T EVER WANNA MEET A GAY GANGSTA
IND. SEL. FANDOM OC BLOG WRITTEN BY HEBBY 🔞
ABOUT AND RULES UNDER THE CUT
ABOUT
It’s the 2020s, babes, let’s embrace our cringiest deviantart OCs. He’s a Divine that fell from grace–kind of a huge troublemaker who kept wanting to make the Mortal Realm interesting. He maaaaaay be the one who flirted the idea of Power from the Emeralds to the ancient tribes so they’d all start fighting each other. Turns out the other Divines weren’t wild about that, and had Neerco banished to the Mortal Realm.
He had his rank and devotion stripped from him, and his temples were defaced–which means the less worship he was getting, the less influence he had. And to top it all off, his true angelic form (a horrifying 50ft spider) was contained inside of a small mobian body. When first waking properly on Earth, he had no memories of who he was, and ended up making friends with a Dandelion and a Nightingale. However, as time passed, his memories returned and what he perceived as betrayal fueled his madness.
Abilities wise, Neerco was most heavily inspired by Q from Star Trek. He’s ridiculously OP, and we love him for that. Queen shit. Thing is, though, most of his magic and abilities in general don’t let him go TOO CRAZY. He can use his powers to give other creatures mutated forms and grotesque powers, but he can’t really use it on himself. So he likes to affect the world around him, but he can be resisted if a person’s convictions are pure enough. Which he hates. Hates that! Gross! Imagine being pure of heart. Couldn’t be him.
Neerco’s current place of residence is an old, abandoned Temple that used to be in worship of him, but was abandoned and discarded by mortals and divines alike. He’s been working his influence as much as he can to bring it back, and he’s got some followers that embrace chaos just as much as him. That voice whispering in your ear to do your nails and claw some motherfucker’s face off? That’s probably him.

RULES
Hi, I’m Hebby! I’m in my 30s, my pronouns are they/them. I like to think of myself as pretty friendly and patient, but I’ve seen a lot of BS in my years RPing on this webbed site, so here’s some rules!
1. This blog is 21+ ONLY because I don’t want to write with immature people or minors.
2. LEAVE ME OUT OF FANDOM DRAMA. LEAVE ME OUT OF POLITICAL DRAMA. LEAVE ME OUT OF DRAMA! (“It’s not Drama, it’s–” LEAVE ME OUT OF IT, THIS IS AN RP BLOG!!!)
3. FANDOM COPS STAY TF AWAY! WE DON'T MORALIZE OVER FICTION HERE!
4. 90% of the art used on this blog was drawn by me, the rest was giftart. Please don’t use my icons or my art without explicit, current permission from me.
actual RP stuff:
5. Neerco may be OP but I will NEVER godmode or use that OPness against your characters without explicit permission. I usually have him use it to fuck with NPCs.
6. Do NOT godmode my character or metagame information yours shouldn’t know. That’s rude.
7. IC =/= OOC, I don’t use my characters as mouthpieces. If I have a problem with you or an issue I need to bring you, I will bring it to you in private.
8. PLEASE don’t reblog my drabbles!! Or my headcanon posts. This is a roleplay blog, not a fandom blog. If it doesn’t say ‘okay to reblog’ then don’t reblog it!!!
9. OPEN TO SHIPPING! Characters MUST be over 18 for personal comfort reasons. Toxic yaoi is the only way Neerco here flies!
10. I am an impulse roleplayer, that means I reply or I don’t sometimes. Teehee. I will also unfollow for any reason, and I will not tell you why. For my own sanity’s sake.
11. Potentially triggering themes: torture, possession, abuse, controlling, behaviour, jealousy, sexual scenarios etc.
12. OH BTW I LOVE BEING MULTI-FANDOM FRIENDLY!!! that’s my bread and butter!
