Who did you dissect? You're so secretive, as though it was Simon's body! Now that would be a whole heap of trouble...

🐚 About love and mistresses in patho

This is a bit rough translation of one thing from my shitpost, but i really tried to make it as accurate as possible. Text is based on quotes from classic and only,,,

I left a lot of information out (about families, for example), but i can’t keep writing this much in eng,,,,

Actually something is interesting about this. Like how Daniil starts to realize it and in all endings talks about love (Found family trope is screaming) but it’s not clear if he really understood it or only in theory.

Штука из моего щитпоста!! Оригинал я оставлю там а здесь тока перевод кривой косой. Я не так хороша в инглише мэх.

Немного забавно что даня говорит в концовках о любви тоже, да и в театре о нем так отзываются. Но так и не ясно, осознанная эта любовь или он только условно её понял.

Day 5: Hideout

[scrap-name]

What if one of us was an unwed 157-year-old and the other was a widower who never remarried and we each represented two halves of our anomalous town's composition and we had a deep yet oppositional and also curiously secretive bond and ultimately died in a suicide pact to bring about the evolution of our joint-custody town which will continue to harbour our conciousnesses unless our conjoined means of escaping oblivion are destroyed? And we were both old men?

Hbomb said that Simon being an immortal dragon doesn't make much sense, even in Russian. But it may not be true.

You see, in slavic folklore there's a specific version of a dragon that is called Змей Горыныч, which roughly translates as the Mountain Snake. In Russian "Горыныч" is a cool and menacing word because of similarity between two words гора (mountain) and горе (woe, hardship). Горыныч sounds simultaneously as if this Snake is from mountains and also it will bring woe and destruction.

So, snakes are symbolically important to the Bachelor, I don't know if you noticed. Snakes symbolize immortality and also medicine in general. Kains also symbolize medicine, their last name is meant to invoke the naming of drugs like novocaine (which is written a bit differently in English but is exactly the same in Russian новокаин - Каин).

Also. Notably the Mountain Snake has three heads, who all have independent consciousnesses and different personalities. There are three Kain brothers. But also. They live in the Crucible, which has three buildings. And Crucible is a good and accurate transition of what their mansion called in Russian, they're utopians, they melt humans and forge them into superhumans, cool. But in Russian the Crucible is Горны. Do you see it? It's the same word again. It all fits together.

Admittedly, I'm not a slavic folklore scholar. I'm just a regular Russian who exists within this cultural context. So maybe if you actually familiar with all the legends and fairytales about the Mountain Snake the layers of meaning here go much deeper. Or maybe not. Or maybe it's all just a coincidence. Probably.

If the developers ever commented on this issue let me know.
