I don't want to talk about this in art account i made to spread my art to other people, but i can be silent when my country and people are suffering from russian aggression

I'm scared for my family

For myself

Yesterday and today i spent all night and morning at the basement of my house because it's was huge missile and drones attack at all Ukraine and who know if this night they will do it again

I just want to live peaceful life, draw what i want, be happy, find a job,but all this impossible when russia try to kill you. every.single.day.

All i think right know that i scared for that night and i don't know if i survive if they again attack us with rockets

I'm sick to my stomach, all i can do it's cry and hope today me and my family will live

Please don't close your eyes on this. It a genocide. They will not stop when they occupied all country and kill as all.

Please support Ukraine and pray for us because if Ukraine fall - next it can be your country.

#russia is a terrorist state #ukraine #please support Ukraine #stop russia #stop russian aggression #i don't want to leave my house but I'm scared for my life #i tired and i feel like i can pass out #please if anyone read this pray for ukraine #don't be silent about this #scream about this #spread this

see you soon, laika

#danny phantom #vlad plasmius #vlad masters #danny phantom fanart #I was gonna put a whole disclaimer in the post abt how this piece has nothing to do with the russian vlad hc #and how I would prefer if people didn't interpret it as such #but it would ruin the aesthetic so for those who read the tags:#to me Vlad's mother was a Czech woman who ran from the soviets to america #I wrote Laika's name in cyrillic because it felt more meaningful to me with that context #I was also inspired by soviet post cards and propaganda posters for this reason #it does have meaning but doesn't necessarily mean the character depicted is russian #thank you #this isn't hate or anything I just don't want to be misinterpreted #love and peace always <3

Do you ever get so overwhelmed by all the books that you want to read that you're convinced that one life could never, ever be enough?

#this post was inspired by going through @deadpanwalking's FANTASTIC Russian lit tag #i saw a number of old friends but also a whole bunch of books that I've been meaning to read for ages #but would like to be able to really sit and digest them #AND! books and authors that I don't think I've ever heard of but boy am I ever sold #and now there's this this fizzy feeling in my stomach like if I don't start reading right now I will die #It's almost two go to sleep Leah!#and yet!!!#literature makes us more human #pontifications and creations #also i literally bought two books today including Pasternak's autobiography as a lil treat for having an especially protective morning

Me when I accidentally took a depression nap for too long and now I'm running late to the murder (that I planned) A.K.A. I tought it would be funny for Rodya to to the anime girl late to school run

#digital art #fanart #coloured doodle #crime and punishment #crime e castigo #raskolnikov #I'm not 100% happy with it rn so I might do some hard lineart #even tho it was supposed to be just a doodle lol #also I used this to practice russian cursive #and then I did the English in cursive as well for aesthetic coesion / self indulgence #that's actually my standard caligraphy but I don't know if a lot of people can't read it so I usually do block letters for my drawings #also because I usually have brush stabilization set up pretty high and it's harder to do cursive like that

The fact that no one across all of DC fandom (as far as I can tell) has mined the beautiful comedic potential that is the night and day difference between Tim and Damians current canonical love interests

#ramblings of a lunatic #things i know about bernard: he's bi. he's into cooking. he's an endless source of love and positivity in tims life #and however you feel about that as a writing decision #you gotta admit it'd be funny to imagine him pulling up to the wayne family get together (I'm not looking at gotham war rn-#-for comedic reasons) and he sees damian's scary russian goth gf who keeps making oblique jokes about death #and they both just look at each other like. ah. hello #bc despite it all they have one thing in common and that's their deranged autistic vigilante boyfriends #idk I'm so interested in the potential for daminika to be hilarious (and on a more sincere note- meaningful and cute) together #and just Nika in general? she's fun to read rn but my brain keeps supplying me for potential routes for development you could take her #but keeping it strictly in funny territory? i want this. i think it'd be hilarious #Tim and Damian have to agree to not bite/punch/kick/torment each other for ONE day bc their beloveds are hitting it off so well #dc comics #timber #daminika #gravebird #I've also seen gravebird used and i think that's cute! i don't acknowledge flamian tho. who is that

Me, ukrainian who lived in Donetsk before ruzzian occupation: O MY FUCKING GOD

#neon.exe #← i need new personal tag now #war in ukraine #useful idiot #this is worse than Russian propaganda where they interviewed children who were 5-8 years old at the time of the occupation #guess in three attempts what they were talking about: about Ukrainian Nazis; Ukrainian Nazis; or Ukrainian Nazis?#I'm tired of reading how such people “who understand and love geopolitics” seriously think that Ukrainians don't have their own interests #I'm just wondering how many of these people actually know how Euro Maidan started

learning about the partitive and locative cases is like. you said Russian had 6 cases

#. i am both in shock and in awe #russian #russian langblr #langblr #. ok if any beginners read this: don't worry about it #. hfhfjdms no but really it's not that relevant if you're only starting to learn the language #. I'd recommend to treat words like аэропорт or лес as exceptions #. where the prepositional ending is -у instead of -е #. you can still check out partitive and locative later #. russian grammar is already overwhelming so don't stress about these 'details'#. basics should always be the priority!!#l #russian grammar #r.txt

Can we please talk about Sof'ja Tolstaya?

She became Leo Tolstoy's wife at 18, when he was 34. She was an amazing and strong woman, who had to deal with an incredibly misogynistic and lunatic husband, 13 children, and was forced to give up on all her literary aspirations – yet she wrote.

Her main works of fiction, two novellas she wrote as a response to her husband's The Kreutzer Sonata, didn't get published during her life, for they were extremely critical of Lev's work.

Whose fault? and Song Without Words were rediscovered and made accessible to a wider public only in the 21st century, along with her diaries, spanning through decades, and an autobiography.

Sofja (head of the table, to the right), and Lev (first man on her right) with their family; Cassell and Co, NY, 1911

Some useful sources:

Wikipedia article dedicated to her

short and eloquent article on The Guardian

free online copy of Autobiography of Sophie Andreevna Tolstoi on archive.org

SoundCloud podcast episode "Sofia Tolstoy" by John Sandoe Books (I haven't personally listened to it)

Vadim is back in Plague Doctor but the writing team has yet to answer my most pressing question: Is he trained as a classicist or a medievalist

#plague doctor #plague doctor spoilers #bubble comics #vadim #most of the magical elements so far in the comic have been related to classical myths #but classicists don't tend to read about medieval reinterpretations of classical works #he makes a lot of classical allusions himself but most medievalists would know those stories too #any russian medievalist in particular would be pretty familiar with them #I love to overthink a silly action comic #I love the idea of a character who's a mercenary because it pays better than academia #due to my extremely specific weird life path I am VERY familiar with these two specific fields

I wish 'tragedy' was a common genre for books and comics. Why did people stop writing miseries? Is no one goth? When I have sad feelings caught inside me like a hairball in a drain why should I have to go to a 100 yr old Russian author's doorstep to read something bleak?

Emotionally distraught book/series/comic recommendations are welcome.

#you want to consume something misery inducing? 100 yr old russian novel or an rpgmaker game #while i know i can read nonfiction sad stories i don't really get catharsis from someone's real life misery #my posts that i made #catharsis and commiseration are not the same feeling to me I think..#i may be making text posts a little more often than usual i think i am just a little lonely

i can't take old american sci-fi books seriously what is this, this is just red scare propaganda

#i started reading some short stories from that guy i mentioned eariler #found out he wrote a book on psychological warfare and worked with the us government #i don't trust like that #dude. the russians arent evil mind controlling people. that's you!#how much of the red scare is just projection #you know when i played fallout i thought it was an exaggeration

I think if I read one more chapter of Russian Roulette I'm going to go feral

#chaotic ramblings #russian roulette #alex rider #this is specifically about #john rider #and #yassen gregorovich #if I read one more interaction between them i am going to explode #they are so Charged #sexually yes but also several other ways #specifically the fact that they don't communicate because i heavily suspect yassen doesn't even know how he feels #like it's very obvious that he does almost everything to impress John but I don't think he even realizes

A few days ago I finally got around to putting warframe into Russian so I can try to learn a bit faster, it's been really challenging cause I don't know the vast majority of the words still (sorry to the people I was trading with while taking forever to search through my inventory lmfao), but I've played enough to remember most button and text placements to get by well enough. Crazy thing is that it's actually kinda working, I'm actually stopping to learn some of these words and it's so much more fun than the usual Russian homework lol. It's actually kinda fun to have the extra challenge layered over the game

#warframe #i've always heard that watching stuff in another language is good for learning it but i don't watch anything lmao #and generally i want to be able to read stuff in my games #warframe is probably one of the only games i can do this with since ive played it so much #txt #ramble #who knows maybe i'll know enough russian to play without issue in the future #i'm still very very far from that tho lol #if this actually makes me good enough at russian to speak with my mom's family that would be so funny

Greetings,I have two questions.

1)Any Russian classical literature you enjoy?

2)Is there any Italian classical literature that you could recommend?

I quite liked reading "The Brothers Karamazov" and "War and Peace" as far as russian literature goes - though on that front I'll say I absolutely hated Gogol's "Dead Souls" and that alone almost made me want to give up on russian lit in general lol

I would say italian lit is hard to recommend without knowing what someone's tastes are... especially since a lot of the things I've read are poetry collections (on that front: Montale and D'Annunzio are my favourite recent-er authors, but the true classics such as Petrarca and Leopardi are never forgotten + for theatre plays I loved reading Goldoni's plots). I did really like both "Uno Nessuno Centomila" and "I Malavoglia", and when I was in elementary school I loved both Calvino and Salgari's works - "Le ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis" too, and the "Decameron", and I still have yet to read "Il nome della rosa" but I can safely recommend that as well.

^ these are from very different genres and centuries, so, I'd suggest looking them up individually and seeing which ones best resonate with your tastes. The only mandatory thing I suggest is the Divine Commedy because I'm predictable and it is that good.

#[.asks]#anonymous #infodump tag #if you're also interested in less narratively driven stories Machiavelli's The Prince is great too #+ for the russian lit question I did just finish reading Lolita yesterday and I don't know if it counts since it's usa-centric but #that one too I found an interesting read #OH and for italian classics if you also have the wish for films: Pasolini was pretty central to the beginning of italian moviemaking
