Okay, fine. There is one moment in the movie that I liked. Unfortunately this is the ONLY moment in the whole film when Igor gets to be smart, which is a real shame.

❗BIG SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE MAJOR GROM: THE GAME⬇️

Uh-oh. This little joke actually cost him his life.

Hey, guys. Do you think Igor feels guilt. Because, well, that really were HIS actions that led to Sergey's death. Do you ever think about that. Do you think he thinks about that.

This is what The Game is about right

[kyluxtrashpit]

Well, he wasn’t wrong

He just wants love but also watching this scene for a second time was so funny because it felt like khm *spoiler!* Oleg is a mother collecting his child from a kindergarten and Sergei doesn’t not want to come because he is not done playing with his friend

‘I AM NOT CALLING YOU A «GOOD BOY» SERGEI, YOU SHOT ME!’

Silly shitpost for a movie I have yet to watch, I’m obsessed :(

Oleg Volkov: *has a tiny bit of this song play in his lair*.

Me, who knows the lyrics by heart: *immediately applies it to Serovolk*.

In case anyone needs the lyrics translation you can find them here (just ignore everything else there).

I've been made aware that in one of the recent promo materials/interviews/whatever Sergey Goroshko refers to Bird with feminine pronouns for like three whole minutes which isn't anything new (the gender of the word Bird is feminine so a lot of people use that without really thinking about gender) but it's still pretty fun cause I've been HCing Bird as a woman for a bit now

Not spoilers but slightly related to the movie

Someone joked about Sergey shipping Seroptitsa/GrayBird/whatever but not wanting to ship slash so he approached Bird like that, and that's funny but if I'm being super serious I do think it's one of the cases where the person just goes with the grammatical gender of the word, though obviously I should watch the interview before confidently claiming anything

I didn't like the new movie, so instead I drew fanart of the comic version of The Game, which in my opinion is SO much better

[kyluxtrashpit]

I really thought I was feeling mostly normal about them after first watching МГИ but now I think I just had a delayed reaction lmao

Ways to come back from death in Bubble comics

Realize the grisly death scene cliffhanger in the previous issue was actually just a hallucination. Again.

Show up later explaining that yes someone did shoot you five times at point blank range but you “got lucky.”

Demonstrate such superlative ability at being gay and fucked up you earn the patronage of a goddess of death.

Crawl out of a swamp with the rest of your polycule.

Stay dead but continue to haunt the narrative as a recurring hallucination.

Everyone just assumed you were dead because you went a few years without causing any mass mayhem.

Brought back from death by the power of post-Soviet capitalism.

Technically not dead, just having some psychic fun in a coma.

Have your bestie remake the universe.

Just show up acting normal and hope no one asks you any tough questions re: any murder-suicide sprees you did.

Keep wearing the same white mask, but switch to a different outfit so no one connects you with that other criminal who wore a white mask and blew up in a racecar explosion.

You didn’t actually die this time you just like hurling yourself off buildings for the Drama.

Your death was actually faked by a secret organization, and you’ve been using your legally unquestioned status to fuck with a mentally unstable policeman.

Shift to a parallel universe where everything is better but you’re still haunted by the memory of a world in ruins.

Show up later revealing you never died, you’re just in hiding from all the guys who keep trying to kidnap you to interrogate you about their boyfriends’ medical records.

You didn’t actually get exploded by nuclear weapons, the god you embodied who looks like a fusion of you and your mortal nemesis took one for the team.

Show up in the post credits scene.

Text translation:

There's no Oleg here-

Oleg is here.

Spoilers to "Major Grom: The game" movie:

Let's pretend Razumovskiy listened to Igor and took more pills, which magically helped him hold Ptitsa (the Bird) back and get a proper hug, because I desperately needed that scene TT

Propaganda under cut:

Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan:

<tw: child abuse, slavery, torture>

- Child slaves who bonded very closely with each other through shared trauma. Ended up kind of feral about each other.

- Shen Jiu ended up being bought by a rich asshole solely for the purpose of making his life hell, after he saved Yue Qi from being trampled by said rich asshole’s horse.

- Yue Qi tries to save him over and over again, but fails every time, eventually runs away to become a cultivator and promises he will come back.

- Three years later, Shen Jiu snaps and kills the rich asshole and his family and runs off to apprentice under a notorious criminal. He assumes Yue Qi is dead.

- A year after that, he finds out that Yue Qi is not dead, but instead the head disciple of a cultivation sect, now known as Yue Qingyuan. Shen Jiu is very upset finding out that Yue Qi had abandoned him.

- Yue Qingyuan gets Shen Jiu a place in the sect, and eventually he becomes the second in command of the sect, while Yue Qingyuan is the leader.

- They don’t become friends again, even though their positions require them to interact. Instead, any time they have a conversation, they part on bad terms within five lines of dialogue.

- Shen Jiu, now Shen Qingqiu, kind of ends up being a terrible person because he has no idea how to cope with his trauma and is constantly lashing out. Yue Qingyuan tries his best to reconcile and accommodate him to the point where he often turns a blind eye to Shen Jiu’s actions.

- Eventually, Shen Jiu ends up imprisoned and tortured by his former disciple Luo Binghe as retribution for his abuse. Luo Binghe uses Shen Jiu to set a trap for Yue Qingyuan, and Yue Qingyuan dies very badly, which is what ends up completely breaking Shen Jiu.

- Later, you find out that Yue Qingyuan hadn’t abandoned Shen Jiu, but instead he had tried so hard to get strong enough to come back to save him that he ended up very nearly dying, going through horrific trauma of his own. By the time he got out of the cave he had been trapped in, he went to get Shen Jiu but found the estate burned down and assumed that his old friend was dead.

- They could be interpreted romantically or just as friends, but their breakup kind of ended up basically causing the destruction of the world over an awful misunderstanding.

- Anyway I am very feral over them.

Igor Grom and Sergey razumovski:

It's a friendship breakup! Except neither of them had made a friend in a long time so they didn't *realize* they were friends even though it was super obvious and other characters saw it. [SPOILERS FROM HERE] The unsaid made the breakup worse when Igor (the cop trying to catch the Plague Doctor (who makes some good points but goes about it in a bad way, like many movie villains)) finally understood that the Plague Doctor was Sergey. But neither of them knew that it was actually Sergey's alter personality. So Igor thought the Plague Doctor was Sergey's best friend, then learned that the guy had been dead for years, then went to see Sergey fully convinced that it was yet someone else, *anyone else*, that Sergey could help him find. Meanwhile Sergey had offered Igor his help to catch the Plague Doctor, and was happy to see his new friend come see him, just to learn that said new friend now suspects him of being a terrorist (give him a break T_T) The messy part is that Sergey immediately crashes a bottle on Igor's skull, then regrets it because he thought he killed his friend, then, because obviously Igor's not dead, sets him up so that Igor's colleagues think that *Igor* is the Plague Doctor and throw him in jail. When of course Igor breaks out and goes to confront Sergey (without any backup, because he doesn't want to endanger his two allies who are now the closest he's got to friends), they talk with their fists. And the furniture in the room. And also flamethrowers. It's messy. At some point during the fight Igor's plan is to throw both of them, Sergey and himself, together, from the window. Which he does. They're on the top floor of a skyscraper. That is such a reasonable, thought-out, restrained reaction to being disappointed by someone (/ironic). They only survive because other people catch them.

🚨 SPOILERS FROM WATCHING AND DREAMING 🚨

Now we go to the time skip, and I was happy that we got to see what happened after they defeated Belos.

Luz is packing up for college. She has her communication device, hey book, Eda's jacket, and the Grom tiara.

Then, we get to see what's on her board by her desk.

I love that Dana signed the writing scholarship. Vee and Luz graduating makes me happy.

I'll post some close ups, but I laughed at Eda bringing over Apple Blood for Camila.

King finally playing catch

THE WHOLE GANG AT GROM!!!

Gus is Emceeing, Vee looks great, Hunter blushing at Willow, and then our two dorks, being fantastic.

Now, here's my favorite picture

HOOTY CAUSING CHAOS.

Luz is so scared, and I'm thinking that Amity convinced Hooty to do that. I think Amity has a love/hate relationship with Hooty, and I would love to explore that more.

Camilla comes in to see how Luz is doing with packing. Did anyone notice that Stringbean had her own perch? And there's some toy hanging from it so I'm thinking that Luz hung that for Ghost to play with.

Of course Luz is going to major in everything. I screamed "SHE HAS AMITY'S NECKLACE" when she turned around.

"It'll be nice to see them all again."

Not kidding, my heart sank when Luz said that.

Then Camila:

"Luz.... You just saw them last week."

OH THANK TITAN SHE WASN'T SEPARATED FROM THEM FOR YEARS.
