#hello from russia

Maybe I should get out of the historical direction? I probably don't know shit. I was ridiculed by a teacher of Russian history, who said that everything I said about Peter III's mother was fiction and maybe I should write novels.I'm an idiot, I read Mylnikov in vain, I watched and read Medinsky in vain, I read Spitsyn's textbook in vain, I read articles on Peter the Third in vain. All in vain!

Do you have the Hastings stickers as images too? I don't have telegram and not a reason to use it either...

Yes, there is. Only the application that helps to make such stickers allows you to make them only for Telegram or for WhatsApp.

I'm just thinking about adding them to WhatsApp, but I have no one to talk to to use such stickers....

I remembered my old pun

Attention

"What was the name of the person who started vomiting milk after shaking on a roller coaster?

Milkshake"

Fiut, ha!

Okay, so, about those gentle hands.

In the original opening scene in the very first game Haruspex says: “Тут нужны чуткие руки хирурга. А вы отойдите”

The literal translation is: “~Sensitive~ hands of a surgeon are needed here. And you step aside”

As always, direct translation is a bit clunky. So it transformed into: “This calls for the gentle hand of a surgeon. Step aside, both of you”

Pretty much the same thing. And “gentle” does mean “sensitive��� (delicate, attentive) in this context. It is entirely appropriate (albeit a bit self assured) to use this word talking about your own talents, especially using passive voice. Very little if any language specific nuance is lost in this translation.

Now, when Daniil looks at Artemy and immediately thinks: “His hands are sensitive (delicate, attentive, intuitive)” – it is a bit sus, even in Russian. Not “he claimed his hands were like that”, mind you, but “they are like that”. The tone shifts somewhat if you use active voice praising someone else this way.

Still, in Russian (and with literal translation) it gives more of a: I watched with great interest this man performing autopsy after autopsy and wondered to myself, what else these fingers do? – vibes. Instead of what we actually got in English, which is 100%: the only thing keeping me alive at this point is this man’s excellent handjobs.

So, you could point out how the translation makes Daniil’s remark ten times more gay mistakenly, that it’s a mistranslation. However! I am pretty confident that the writing team knew full well what they were doing, quoting an extremely famous iconic line with agreed upon no less iconic translation, transforming it in a way that would make it sound so very explicit.

The question is, does it make it less canon if the technically original text means slightly different thing even if in this case they were clearly working with the translation in mind? No, I say. I would argue that ‘speaking in tongues’ to each other is an inherent part of these two character’s dynamic. Their whole thing. And I love it even more than if both Russian and English texts aligned perfectly.

(Арт прикольный, но Пашеньку жалко:( )

Yayayya Paul and Alexander

I do not know much besides Alexander agreeing to overthrow paul(but he didn’t know his father would get killed), Paul getting strangled, stabbed and trampled to death so mistakes will definitely be there…(in case I get jumped for getting something wrong)

Also I gave up on drawing Alexander’s hair

II have created several more interchangeable clips for bracelets. Barclay de Tolly has this effect of either snow or stars. I unsuccessfully cut a circle at Suvorov, but the edge glows in the dark (the same story with Fyodor Ushakov)

heta people: brain > heart and likely everything else.

russia's heart falling out of his chest: alive and coherent.

france shot in the head: actually momentarily dead.

(longer post about this that isn't great but has more examples, and mentions this being useful for both slapstick comedy and/or horror).

Interesting fact:Officially, Catherine had 13 favorites (lovers), whom she skillfully used both in love and in state terms. However, she did not guess with Zubov in the state plan.
