#I apologize for my russian

[rageflippedtables]

Perhaps all they need is time...

Russian translation:

"Nice shot soldier"

"Now eliminate the second target"

"Why didn't you shoot soldier?"

"Speak up!"

"Take him back and teach him that we don't tolerate failure" (we don't fail)

"The reset it"

i am actually so tired of the way westerners treat eastern europeans

[giggly-squiggily]

*peeks head around corner* Oooookay, so admittedly I sat on this one for a hot minute because you and I know I'm a hardcore Soukoku shipper myself, BUT I'd really love to see your take on ler!Fyodor, so if I may request another Candy Heart, perhaps ❤️ I love you for fyozai, lee!Dazai? Fyodor would 1000% WRECK him and I'd love to see your take on it. 🥺 (Only if you'd like to, of course! Never any pressure to write something if you're not feeling it. Hope you've had a good week, friend! 💖)

GIRL! XD Your requests never fail to leave me kicking my feet in joy! Ler!Fyodor, you say? I believe this is my first time writing him as so, so this is a bit experimental! I hope I was able to bring out the best of him for you :3

I love you: "Brave thing to say for someone so ticklish."

“Hey.” Dazai poked his back, eyes twinkling. “Wanna hear a theory?”

“What is it?” Fyodor looked back at him, brow raised. He knew that look all too well.

Cutting eyes left and right, Dazai gestured him down, whispering in his ear. “If I were to have a tickle fight with you right now..I’d win.”

That son of a- Fydor felt his face warm as the brunette snickered. “Dazai…”

“What? You know I’m right.” Dazai leaned in, his sneaky expression made for radio. “What do you say, Fyo? Want to prove me right?”

The Russian man narrowed his eyes, refusing to back away. He could see those devious fingers starting to twitch, reaching towards his sides.

“I say…that is a very brave thing to say for someone so ticklish.

Dazai’s expression was gold; a look of confusion melting into shock with a dash of anticipation as Fyodor grabbed his collar, pulling him down and into his lap. Seconds later, he was shrieking in mirth, arching up as ten fingers attacked his armpits. “Ahehhhahahahahha! Dohohohon’t- Fhihihihiyohooohhodoorohohohor!”

“What are you waiting for, sobachka? Prove your point already!” Fyodor smirked, chuckling as he carried on drilling into the terrible spot. “Didn’t you say you’d win? Where’s that confidence you had five seconds ago?”

“Oohoohoh, yoohohohu juhuhust wahhahait! Wheehen I geheheheht ohoohohut of thihihihis, yohoohohou’re a gohoho-AHHAHAEHEHE!”

“Hmm, chto eto bylo?” The Russian man teased, voice nearly lost beneath booming cackles as he pressed his fingers into Dazai’s neck. “I couldn’t make out what you said- want to try again?”

“IHEHEHEHIHI’LL GEHEHHEHEHT YOHOOHOHU BAHAHAHHAHCK!”

“Sure you will, sobachka.” Fyodor grinned, snickering when Dazai made an inhuman noise, kicking his feet in the air like a giddy child. “But not now. Now, I get to tickle you until I’ve deemed enough. I hope you’re ready to laugh, cause you’ll be doing it for a long time.”

Send me a candy heart and I'll write a dabble for it!

Краткое изложение 5 сезонов Готэма [ youtube ]

[ohsalome]

Lately I've been thinking about how self-hating is such a huge component of CEE identity. There's always been this shared sentiment between me and my friends, whether they were Ukrainian, Czech, Polish or other, that we were always ashamed of where we came from and uncomfortable with sharing our identity with people who were English/American/French/Spanish/German/Russian and proud. But now it's got me thinking: what exactly were those people proud of that we couldn't be? Their history is drenched with blood - colonialism, slavery, genocide, imperialism, world wars etc. more than ours. The cultures that they're so proud of are mostly relevant because they've been backed by military might and forcibly spread across the globe.

Meanwhile we've been forced to endure hundreds of years of oppression, whether by Russia or Austria-Hungary or Germany etc. They've tried to russify, magyarise or germanise us and we survived. So why, in the so-called free 21st century, are we still made to feel so ashamed of ourselves and our roots?

Because the talks about post-colonialism and inclusivity are nothing but empty virtue signaling and the world is still ruled by the old power, methinks.

And if power only comes coupled with financial prosperity, then that is what we should do. People speculate that the real reason why some NATO members are so reluctant on accepting Ukraine is because they are afraid we're going to enforce the so-called Warsaw pact countries and shift the power from Germany-France-Brinain eastwards. And, in this case, I think that's exactly what we should do. If we focus on financial and political cooperation instead of competition, we could move towards the reality where it wouldn't matter what those Western Europeans think of us. And where money go, popular culture will follow.

Btw, if you don't mind me nitpicking, but I find your usage of words "ashamed from where we came from" a great illustration of what is the root of the problem you're talking about. Shame is a social emotion, you don't feel shame unless it's been taught to you. Westerners have created this dichotomy of them being superior to us, and they have softly forced us to internalise it. Like in the nietzschean dichotomy of the slave and the master, they need us more than we need them; because without us feeling ashamed for being CEE they wouldn't be able to feel superior. But this is an illusion. A social construct. The naked king. No country is better than another (expect for russia, which is the worst). So break free and embrace everything that makes you you.

dance of the sugar plum fairy (and other nutcracker things):

Riven pauses before nodding, grabbing his swords and tossing one to her, a pleased look on his face when she catches it with ease. “What did she want?” He asks and Musa shrugs, getting into position. “Wanted to know if I’d be busy this weekend. It’s Nutcracker season.”

Riven gives her a look, one that reminds her that not everyone practically grew up in dance studios, that she’s the one who knows the stress of Nutcracker season like the back of her hand.

- or it's nutcracker season and musa finds herself paying a favour and healing a little bit more

wee bit of an author’s note - 

hi. so i started this fic on christmas eve. life since then has been... rough. i started school again (yay!!), got the flu and a subsequent really bad chest infection and then on thursday at 6am, my grandmother passed away from a stroke and a heart attack. 

as a result of all of that... this fic's release was pushed back quite a bit.

but if there's one thing i know how to do, it's to deal w my emotions using fictional characters so,,,, here you go. 

this is for all the people who were dancers, are dancers, or maybe are just looking for their own nutcracker to make them feel a little bit stronger <3

do people actually research how problematic the band is? all I do is check the country of origin (have to know, I ain't listening to no russians). I don't have energy to research every damn band member like shut tf up. if the fuck-up-ness of the band ain't a known fact (like w burzum, still tho many people just ignore the awfulness of varg just because "uhm I'm not into politics, I just love the music". even some ukrainians (idiots) are like this while knowing damn well he's a nazi pro russian dick. some people are dumb by nature and we can't do a thing about it) or they don't sing about it in their songs I have no way of knowing (forgive me that I'm not gonna waste my time on a dumb research instead of listening to music)

shepherd saying, “war isn’t about friends, it’s about enemies” when friendship is the main reason the 141 find all the missiles and take down hassan just scratches a lovely itch

laswell is able to find out hassan’s in mexico and working with the cartel bc of her friendship with price and gaz, who are already in amsterdam. they’re able to get the jump on him and find out about him shipping the missiles over the atlantic bc of her friendship with alejandro. price and gaz are able to fly to al mazrah in time to intercept aq bc of price’s friendship with nik and they’re able to get laswell back bc of their friendship with farah. soap makes it through las almas and eventually kills hassan in chicago bc he successfully befriended ghost, who stayed behind at his own risk and kept giving him advice he wasn’t required to give

the real treasure was literally the friendships they made along the way

the more you post about russian holmes the more intrigued i become, one day i'll wrangle my braincells into watching it, but for now it's a joy experiencing it entirely void of context xD hope you're well :D

ahh it's honestly so worth it ^^ but i can understand that it's hard to get into outright, plus the episodes are super long comp to most modern shows :p would love to hear how you find the first ep once you've watched it ^^

if you wanna see more clips of it but still leave humorous and awesome bits to watch, i would recommend 'Russian Holmes & Watson moments that make me lose it' on yt! watched that video so so many times and then the show had even more bits when i got round to seeing the actual eps ^^

cool to hear from you hope you're doing good too :D

hope youre having a good time out of town!!! i had a quick question but do you know why/where the nicknames vanya and fedya come from for ivan and alred, respectively? i always see them used in fanfics but im not sure of the reasoning behind them

so, to the best of my understanding, they are diminutives of their normal names. many languages use diminutives, including english and russian, and they are often employed to make a word or concept seem smaller (or 'cuter'), and they are almost always informal in my experience. you would most likely not be using this in a business setting. think of nicknames. my username may be gremlin, but many here call me grem. this is an example of a diminutive.

in the case of vanya for ivan & fedya for alfred, these would be informal, endeared nicknames for either character. just imagine how you may call friends or relatives by nicknames or a significant other by a pet name.
