#its 2 am dont judge me

[fabulesbian]

i need the kind of fingering that resets your brain. a (les)bottoming if you will.

[dymko]

Here I present my very literate, very unprofessional 1 a. m. translation of "Rusalochki" by Go_A, because this song makes me feral for no apparent reason

Let's start with the title and a few notes

I could, without hesitation, translate "rusalochki" as mermaids, simply because women + water - it all makes sense in my head. But if I do a little thinking regarding world mythologies, I gonna find myself missing a fishtail at the very least. Not to mention undead, often suicidal origins. And tickles.

We sure love the mischievous and ambiguous spirits of dead people in our mythology. Anyway, instead of finding an English analogy let's just learn another mythical creature known as rusalka, k?

I also need to express that Ukrainian folk songs are full of diminutive forms. See these things at the end of a word?

Then we're dealing with "little and probably cute" silent descriptions

Ukrainian line, then immediately English one, погнали:

[Intro]

Та зельоная добровонька

Green oak forest

Холодна криниця

Cold well

Та скажи мені всю правдоньку

Tell me the whole truth

Ой чого мені сниться

Oh, why am I dreaming

Та куди гляну, подивлюся

Anywhere I gaze, anywhere I look

Не моя сторононька

This is not my side

Ой та хто тепер проводжає

Oh, who is accompanying me now

То мої русалоньки

It's my rusalochki

[Chorus]

Рано-рано засвітило сонечко

Early, early the sun shined

Рано-рано прилетіла пташечка

Early, early the bird flew in

Рано-рано заспівала голосно

Early, early [bird] sang loudly

Рано-рано

Early, early

Рано-рано я засію стежечку

Early, early I will sow a path

Рано-рано до твого віконечка

Early, early to your window

Рано-рано буде любо, зелено

Early, early it will be nice and green

Рано-рано

Early, early

[Verse]

Та візьміть собі, русалочки

Take for yourself, rusalochki

Та рути і мяти

Rue and mint

Та не приходьте темной ночки

And don't come during a dark night

До нової хати

to a new house

Та ходіть, мої русалочки

Walk, my rusalochki

До самого двору

to the yard

Та не топчіть мені рутоньку

But don't trample my rue

Біля мого двору

near my yard

[Verse]

Проведу я, русалочки, до бору, до бору

I will lead you, rusalochki, to the pine forest, to the pine forest

Сама вернусь молодая додому, додому

And I, the young one, will return home, home

Проведу я, русалочки, в темний бор, в темний бор

I will lead you, rusalochki, to the dark pine forest, to the dark pine forest

Сама вернусь молодая

And I, the young one, will return

Проведу я, русалочки, до бору, до бору

I will lead you, rusalochki, to the pine forest, to the pine forest

Сама вернусь молодая додому, додому

And I, the young one, will return home, home

Проведу я, русалочки, в темний бор, в темний бор

I will lead you, rusalochki, to the dark pine forest, to the dark pine forest

Сама вернусь молодая

And I, the young one, will return

[Same chorus]

We won't be talking about "та" translation, because I'm lacking a few degrees, thanks for understanding ❤

usually English translation just straight-up skips this word, which is fair, cause its absence won't affect any meaning, but, oh, what a word

So, it's seems like an evil spirit infestation, or a rather unlucky Rusalna Week experience

Go read Katrina's Instagram for more information, and don't forget about official music video

Just had my first psychiatrist appointment in like two years! Not to brag, but I improved on mental illness so much that I was upgraded from Bipolar 2 to Bipolar 1! 😎

[aroaceofthesea]

sometimes i forget that i live in a world where most people see ads everywhere and im the weird one in this little island of using 10000 adblocks and i get really sad for all those people

[ethanharmonia]

Been wanting to draw this for a long time now tbh

Have an Azelf and my Volo Au cosplay in PLA

And some pics i took few weeks ago

My finger is in eternal pain after this

[panicbones]

the divided stance on gaim is fascinating. a good chunk of my mutuals (opinions of whom i respect) despise it. and then i have a scant handful of OTHER mutuals (opinions of whom i also respect) who adore it. hmm

[newtness532]

why can't i just do things when i say i will do them?

[miutonium]

I just want an excuse to post my picture lol I think we make the worst couple 🥰🥰🥰 i am going to take the house and the kids 🥰🥰🥰

Also optional couple picture undercut lmao

Asukatonium real okay goodnight mimimimimi

[aropride]

one thing i just do not fucking get is the difference between "regulating emotions" and "suppressing emotions" i cannot get my head around how those are different. like if im sad and then i go "well im not going to be sad anymore" that's "dissociating" and "suppressing healthy emotions" but if im sad and im like "well im going to cry until i actually pass out" that's "not healthy" and it's BAD to suppress emotions but it's ALSO BAD to get super upset so WHAT IS THE SECRET THIRD THING cuz i do not fucking get it. "feel your feelings But not that way that's not healthy feel your feelings but less than that" ???????

[kruxton]

fuck i might be on the au/dhd spectrum

rant in tags ok!!!!!!!!

[blueprint-han]

did i make a mistake?

[sugaroto]

Tiktok realized I was feeling off with my friend before I did

[came0dust]

esteemed tag readers, this is what i was alluding to last post. making a full-on original character again after however many years and personally i think ive made some major artistic strides these past few months, including while i was drawing him, that helped these feel fulfilling to work on (though also the fact that i was struggling with sleep at the time probably was a factor). havent really settled on a name yet, but his concept is "cursed werewolf except the curse is something else". i decided the "something else" was fire and his goal is, by some means or another, to rid himself of it

oh by the way the one looking up probably isn't him ultimately but it was the drawing that kicked off the session where i drew most of these so i thought it should also be here
