new theory : there exist only three types of Russians in fiction

type 1 : loud, energetic, alcohol drinker

type 2 : humble, hard-working, thoughtful yet realist

type 3 : fuck authority, fuck god, fuck humanity, depressed, living in isolation

Do you know that one day I'll kill you? I won't do it because I'm no longer in love with you, or because I'm jealous, but—I'll just kill you for no better reason that I sometimes long to devour you.

"Si l'homme, comme le déclare l'humanisme, n'était né que pour le bonheur, il ne serait pas né non plus pour la mort. Mais corporellement voué à la mort, sa tâche sur Terre n'en devient que plus spirituelle : non pas un gorgement de quotidienneté, non pas la recherche des meilleurs moyens d'acquisition, puis de joyeuse dépense des biens matériels, mais l'accomplissement d'un dur et permanent devoir, en sorte que tout le chemin de notre vie devienne l'expérience d'une élévation avant tout spirituelle : quitter cette vie en créatures plus hautes que nous n'y étions entrés." - Alexandre Soljénitsyne. Le Déclin du courage: Discours de Harvard, juin 1978

Vos livres préférés de tchekov ? Ceux que vous recommandez le plus en priorité

Et aussi avez vous lu Joseph Andras ?

Ça fait un petit moment que j'ai lu Tchékhov donc mes souvenirs n'en sont plus hyper frais et je n'ai lu que son théâtre. Cela dit, j'avais beaucoup aimé Oncle Vania, La Cerisaie, Ivanov et La Mouette. Donc si je dois en conseiller pour commencer parmi ceux-là, je conseillerais La Mouette et Ivanov !

Quant à Joseph Andras, je n'en ai jamais entendu parler ! :)

The People Immortal by Vasily Grossman

“All her stories were about the war – about those killed on the roads, about friends who had been dishonoured and tortured, about the deaths of children, about blazing villages. There was always a look of anguish and horror in her black eyes. When Ignatiev tried to embrace her, she would push his arms away with the words, ‘What’s the point? Tomorrow you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine. You won’t remember me and I’ll forget you.’ (...)”

“(...) He wanted to speak his mind, but he had grown used over the years to keeping his feelings to himself and he was afraid even now. ‘Who knows?’ he thought. ‘This fellow might just suddenly shoot me.’”

Den 22 juni 1941 invaderade Hitler Sovjetunionen, och bataljoner ur den Röda armén skickades ut till fronten för att fördröja tyskarnas intagande. Under de kommande månaderna kom Vasilij Grossman att tillträda som krigskorrespondent för tidningen »Röda Stjärnan« (Krasnaja Zvezda), där han även kom att publicera en första version av »The People Immortal« i arton delar. Själva verket kretsar kring en grupp soldater som upplever kriget på nära håll, och mycket är baserat på Grossmans egna erfarenheter och möten vid fronten, även om det sker genom en fiktiv dräkt.

Grossmans tidigare författarskap hade främst varit präglat av rena propagandanoveller (se t.ex. »I Staden Berditjev«), där han gav uttryck för den sovjetiska kampviljan och (blinda) tilltron till staten, med ständiga uppmaningar till läsaren att följa partiets riktlinjer. Men med tiden, och kanske främst genom de personliga upplevelserna han erfar av det stora fosterländska kriget, kom skildringarna att alltmer nyanseras och leta sig bortom de klassiska propagandaklyschorna. Detta resulterade därmed i att hans verk så småningom även censurerades. Men just »The People Immortal« skulle kunna ses som ett mellanting i hans litterära och politiska utveckling. Den upphöjda synen på det sovjetiska, stalinistiska och röda, med karaktärer som idealiseras och lyfts fram som förebilder, finns fortfarande där. Men till skillnad från den renodlade propagandalitteraturen skildrar Grossman likväl den förödelse, den död och det tunga mörker som kriget ofrånkomligt också innebär. Han för även en underliggande kritik gentemot hur kriget faktiskt utkämpades. I hans senare verk, såsom »Liv och Öde« samt »Allt Flyter«, antar han även rollen som regimkritiker allt tydligare. Mycket intressant och spännande författarskap!

“Since then I kiss no charming eyes, Since then I know no cheerful days.

I gaze demented on the black shawl, And my cold soul is torn by grief.”

Headcanon ideas for Clarimonde in the Re:zero verse:

Clarimonde has somehow tapped into magic and their abilities grew stronger as a fierce magical storm arrived and left a trail of damage. They somehow have a connection to the storm cloud. Their magic manifests through electricity when they cast curses.  Clarimonde has the ability to turn people into donkeys with their mind but the ability is much stronger when they touch someone or speak the chant out loud. The spells has more power if they know a person’s name. When a spell bounces back on Clarimonde or fail they feel a cold and when a strong curse bounces the cold increases. When distressed they risk affecting reality by natural phenomena such as the weather, how the ground moves or similar things.

As a beginner in magic they have not learned how magic works or how to use it. They have yet to learn the limitations of their own abilities.  Most of the time they are using instinct or finding guidance from somewhere else/supernatural forces.

The storm is a chaotic force and in the middle of it is a being made of magic and lightning called Bellicent. She wants to spread her magic to others and see it as her good will to the world, not fully realizing what chaos and destruction follows by doing so. She is caught in a grieving process after her wife Alcesta was traveling to the realm of death and havent been seen for a year.

Because of the storm several anomalies occurred. One of those created life out of snow, said beings became vampires.

Inspirations: My inspiration for the snow vampires comes from a Russian fairytale called Snowgirl, where a married couple longed to have a child but wherent able to. At one point they decide to make a snow child as they didn't have a child of their own. The snow child came to life and was beloved by the couple. However they where crushed as winter came to an end and the little girl told them she had to leave. Against better judgement they refused to let her go and she soon melted away. This saddened the couple and all they could think of during spring and summer was the little girl who had filled their lives with joy. As the winter arrived again they were awakened by the voice from the little snow girl outside the house as she had sprung to life once again and so it came to be that she returned each winter and was met with love.

I decided to make the snow beings vampires since Clarimonde and their adoped kids, Carmilla and Geraldine, are named after vampires from different litterature sources :3 I chose the name Bellicent as it according to a name list could either mean strenght, powerful or lovingly. Alcesta comes from Greek mythology and means bravery. Alcesta was a woman prepared to die in place of her husband Admetus. Later on Heracles saves her from the underworld since her husband had been a great help to him. Once being brought back Alcesta refused to talk.
