Заспіваю тобі пісню я

Про життя між «до» і «після»

Зранку і в годину пізню я

Ніжна, сильна, твоя

(I'm going to sing you a song

About a life between «before» and «after»

Early in the morning and late at night I am

Gentle, strong, yours)

Вдих, видих

Спалах, вибух

Серце палає

Приймаю бій

Боже, зможу

Бо тут кожен

Свій

(Breathe in, breathe out

A flash, an explosion

The heart burns

I take the fight

God, I can do it

Because everyone here is

Close)

No I am not okay

It's 4 in the morning

And I'm wide awake

Sister I'm just tryna

Take it day by day

Grateful for the fact

That I still see your face, ay

No I am not okay

It's 4 in the morning

I ain't get no rest

Sister I'm just doing

Everything I can

Yeah, I'm on my way

I'm gonna see your face, ay

Заспіваю тобі пісню я

Про розірване намисто

Береже молитва місто

Ніжна, сильна, моя

(I'm going to sing you a song

About a torn necklace

A prayer protects the city

Gentle, strong, mine)

Вдих, видих

Був, вибув

Швидкі обійми

Не час для мрій

Але ж зможу

Бо тут кожен

Свій

(Breathe in, breathe out

Was, left

Hurried embrace

It's no time to dream

But I can

Because everyone here is

Close)

No I am not okay

It's 4 in the morning

And I'm wide awake

Sister I'm just tryna

Take it day by day

Grateful for the fact

That I still see your face, ay

No I am not okay

It's 4 in the morning

I ain't get no rest

Sister I'm just doing

Everything I can

Yeah, I'm on my way

I'm gonna see your face, ay

Pray for Ukraine

Pray for Ukraine now

Ukrainian lyrics translated into English in parentheses sourced from here: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/i-am-not-ok-i-am-not-ok.html so credit goes to the user listed in the info there (English not in parentheses is English in the song). I checked the translation myself, but as we've established my Ukrainian is definitely not fluent, so.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Thanks to @propalahramota and @saltforsalt , we're visiting Children's Park Kazka in Sumy. It looks like a park my daughters would have loved when they were little. I'm guessing the sculpture of Puss in Boots in this evening's post is the original, mechanical one as it looks different than the one I posted the other night.

"Спитаю в неба, що чекає нас Чи будеш поруч, коли пройде час? Переплелися душі в глибині Тримай, якщо я твої сни

Поруч ��и під сонцем, поруч під дощем Я тебе тримаю під своїм плащем Поруч ми під снігом і нехай там що Ти для мене диво і любов..."

“Punk and hardcore is always there to show support to a friend in trouble. Especially when [it’s the] entire nation,” said Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hütz in a statement. “Here, living legends of punk and hardcore who always meant so much to me, come together to show their much needed support for Ukrainian freedom fighters.”

All proceeds from “United Strike Back” will go to Kind Deeds, a charitable organization helping wounded Ukrainian soldiers regain mobility with prosthetics and rehabilitation.

Острів на тлі жалю,

Пригортає сироту.

Біла птаха наче сон,

Пам‘ятає горизонт!

I've never been more jealous of someone in my life.

The Kingdom of Navka

Cheatsheet

A large kingdom of eternal night and winter. Navka spans over a massive territory but due to the harsh conditions of the land, it's not much more populated than other nations. The land is full of dense forests, steep mountains, and murderous creatures which have made travel(and invasions) pretty difficult.

Government:

Navka operates under a monarchy, with the royal family being the Volodymyrr. The current Kroi (king) Vlasily took over the crown a couple decades before after the death of his brother Alexandre (nicknamed the Kroi Dyyavol). The capital city is Alluka, a large city surrounded by icy rock that make it seem like the city was built inside a hollowed-out mountain. (Myths say it used to be a mountain until the god Irae dug it out to provide shelter and protection to the people.)

Environment:

Tundra. Lot of snow and ice. Not too much variety in plant life. But thick forests of evergreen trees. And while rarer, also trees (and some other plants) seemingly made of crystal. There are also only a handful of flowers native to the area. The most prevalent being the Elys (a blue and white version of a Chinese lantern flower that gives off a soft glow).

Trade:

Due to the climate, Navka had trouble growing their own produce (with a few exceptions) so has to import it from other nations. Same with certain textiles and things. But they're still a wealthy nation rich in resources (metals, gems, monster meat/parts, etc). Main exports are weapons, crystals and gems, alcohol, furs, and other parts and meat from the various creatures native to Navka. Their most valuable export, and the one that is very rarely traded, is animulla, a crystal that can greatly amplify magic.

Religion:

The people of Navka generally worship 2 main deities. Irae, the god of the hearth, dance and justice, as well as his partner, Seren, the goddess of blood, lust and death. Worship is conducted through dance, rituals to celebrate the dead, and the annual blood orgy (I'm joking about the latter). With the temple's clergy being .... look, the church is basically a bunch of idols and, in some parts, strippers probably. They conduct worship through song and dance to inspire the people. As well as other charity work.

Other:

Magic (also called "kazka") is free to learn and practice among everyone. However, it's mostly the upper class that practice because most other people have actual jobs and no time to learn.

Bears are legit citizens and are treated as such. I don't mean bearshifters. I mean actual bears.

Navka is native to a species of wolves the size of horses that possess some level of psychic capability. They choose a partner when young and bond with, creating a telepathic link between the two. This link becomes stronger as they grow together. To the point where they can feel each other's pain and panic.

Polygamy is legal and encouraged. Bigger harems can be seen as social status symbols. Because .... "cuddle piles" meant you'd survive the winter or something...

Sex workers are held in high regard and have the same social standing as the temple, military, and lower nobility. And some may also be a network of spies under the codename "Rusalka".

All the stupid silly stuff about Navka is mostly here to distract from the many, many war crimes and atrocities committed by the former king.... including the takeover and mass killing of the land of Djilia and their people, the psirans, with the exception of one that was enslaved.
