[gemini-queen42]

RAGHHH DND CHARACTER JUMPSCARE !!!!!!

lowk this was finished kinda lazily BUT !!! look at her look at my GIRL !!! This is Morrigan, my bugbear druid for a campaign I'm in soon :] She disguises herself to be Something More Humanoid/Less Monstorous Than A Bugbear, and has a colony of ants she carries w/ her as the last part of her home that'll "speak" to her (also, they revere her as their eldritch god)

The campaign is actually mostly themed/based upon & Inspired by Ukrainian & slavic mythos/folktale, so I think it's a lil silly she's named after an Irish mythological figure- not an intentional contrast when naming her, but I think it's fitting! Helps solidify her as Something Foreign, which ties to her backstory well & also furthers her whole "Uncanny Valley" deal

I remember talking to my dad abt her and seeing his face, I don't remember what I said exactly but I explained a lil abt the uncanny valley thing and he was like "Yeah I was about to say, that sounds like.. really uncanny valley." bcuz it is!! Her disguise isn't meant to be perfect lol- thats why it's all practical stuff like make-up or cloth, minus the rings she uses to make her hands smaller. she's still 7ft tall with off proportions for a person, and honestly even compared to other bugbears she's a little off- she's more willow-y, her neck is longer, her teeth are less tusk-y and more needle-y, she's not quite as fully furred as one ought to be- she's a lil bit of a freak among any group she's in <3 Oh plus her eyes. that's a feylost thing lol

I've rambled enough so here's some of the first sketches I did of her, & if y'all are curious abt her or have any questions feel free to ask !! I love yappin abt my sillies !!!<3

When I watch Ukrainian cabaret ( the musical ) the mc makes me think of puck

OMGGGGG I'VE HAD THIS THOUGHT BEFORE. not about the ukrainian cabaret specifically (which. i have to google something real quick hold on.......okay yeah you are making points.) but in general seeing pics of the emcee jumpscares me every time i'm like "PUCK? oh no thats the emcee from cabaret again--"

[chicago-geniza]

Someone made a Devil's Minion AMV to Тримай and I got fucking jumpscared by knowing and understanding the song (it's a very well-known saccharine schlager-y ballad that singers use to audition for The Voice-type talent shows) and also having something I associate with TOTAL campy cheesiness in Ukrainian piped over Armand and Daniel's most dramatic moments because the lyrics do technically work but alshfhfjhfjf. CULTURE CLASH, IN MY MIND

[vypridae]

YOU HAVE HCS

GIVE :D

(i love hearing hcs literally RAMBLE if you want to:D)

OAHAOGHAOFDHA WELL. OKAY IF YOU SAY SO

under a cut bc i feel like im gonna overexplain or talk about waaay too many HSJKGHDFG

dazai needs glasses. he doesn't get them for himself because he thinks he can put it off. kunikida ends up getting him those circle glasses and he's like "noooo i don't want these i'll look like a nerd" but kunikida makes him keep them anyway bc he uses his lack of Vision as an excuse to not do his work. he thinks hes gonna get teased for looking stupid but everyone thinks he looks absolutely GORGEOUS and he gets like 10x more compliments on the street

dazai has morse code memorized and likes to fuck with kunikida in the ada dorms by tapping a message on his wall. kunikida has Overstressed trying to translate

yosano accidentally will infodump on neat medfacts and someone always has to tell her she's rambling (and usually its ranpo)

kyouka's favorite animals are bunnies, chinchillas and kittens, but she's allergic to cats (imagine how awful it is living with atsushi /j)

it is very funny to me to imagine akutagawa gets easily scared

hirotsu is the aroace ally who gets to deal with everyone coming to him to rant about / talk shit about / talk about their crushes on others

Q speaks fluent german and they love jumpscaring the pm members with it

louisa loves to dress up her room whenever she uses her ability. she doesn't really need to, she just likes to. maybe she'll have some coffee, and a really comfortable chair, and some lilac or pumpkin spice candles depending on her Vibe TM, and its just so aesthetic

nikolai can replicate signatures, and by extension handwriting, almost perfectly. he uses this to his advantage to forge notes. he also uses this to help sigma when he's Super Fucking Tired

sigma's favorite cookies are double chocolate chip

dazai trying the pocky game vs chuuya who just takes the pocky, kisses dazai, and then eats the pocky

poe visits ranpo while hes in the agency and he'll bring a new snack for ranpo every single time, it's always something he's heard ranpo offhandedly say he wants to try

nikolai is a WONDERFUL cook. if he notices sigma hasn't eaten in a little while / hasnt left his office in a bit, he'll surprise him and show up with a plate of homecooked ukrainian food, or homemade cookies (double chocolate chip), and sigma is soooo grateful. i also think nikolai knows what sigma likes in terms of coffee so he makes him coffees a lot because sigma is so sleepy and gets caffeine headaches

tecchou refuses to eat food thats not the same color, but he's actually a really good cook and jouno is genuinely surprised when tecchou makes him an actually delicious breakfast/dinner/whatever, and hes like "so does this mean you're done with your weird food combinations?" and tecchou is like "no, but i know you don't like them so i'm not going to force you to eat them." and jouno is like. wait. hold on. why are you nice

[random-doctor-on-the-internet]

Ok. So, well, @weirdly-specific-but-ok , I promised you a mafia story for helping my friend. You helped my friend, you'll get a story.

Sorry, I didn't read it again before posting so it's entirely my fault if there are English mistakes. Fuck la grammaire.

I have no idea about what to write so don't expect high quality. Not that you're used to a higher level. Anyways, buckle your seatbelt, open a red bull can (you'll need it), and get ready for

Pulls sunglasses out of nowhere because that is the only thing I can do at this point.

The Bagel Story

(please notice the effort put into the title. I'm too tired to put any effort elsewhere so you can stop here)

Ok, so it all begins in Ukraine (before the war). At the time, I'm kind of free (compared to later. Long story) and spend most of my days exploring the town where I live. It's a nice town. Lots of abandoned buildings. Tom Sawyer-ish vibes, if Tom Sawyer lived in a tough neighborhood from Detroit.

So, this time, I decided to take pictures of one hundred broken windows in a day (little me had weird occupations), and start wandering until it was, what, 4 pm? At some point, I bought bagels. They aren't useful on this story, they're just here for the title.

So I'm kinda lost in an empty street, and the smartest thing I think about is going into the abandoned buildings, hoping to find someone who will help me.

I don't, and spend like an hour looking for someone (who's not drunk/ high/ having more important business than helping a six year old). Noone. I try anyway. At some point, I hear people in a building. Desperate, I enter the building by the window and walk through a corridor, to arrive in a room with actual people. Well, I didn't see, since they were all wearing masks.

And this when shit gets complicated.

To give you a picture of the situation, I've just walked in a room full of masked people who were singing a song in a language I barely know (idk what it was, I assumed it was Ukrainian but don't remember enough to analyze it with my old brain). These people look at me like I was Jesus reincarnated. I look at them like they were all multiverse versions of Jesus wearing wedding dresses.

At this point, there are too many Jesuses in the story and God abandons us.

They point at me and start screaming in Ukrainian (this time, I'm sure it's Ukrainian. But I didn't speak any of it when the story happened so it just sounds like alien metal music for me). I..uh…I smile, yell “no hablo Espanol” with a Hungarian accent and run away. I don't know why.

I mean, I don't know why I yelled in Spanish. Running away was a perfectly calculated decision.

So I'm running. I don't even look to see if they kept singing in their lair, undisturbed, or if there are actually nine masked people in white robes running after me in the streets. I ran to save my life. It's night. I'm still running. I'm tired. I stop. And then, I hear a growl.

I look behind me. Nothing. I look left, then right, nothing. I start walking again, and bam! Sinistros jumpscare.

(For those who are wondering what happened, a giant dog randomly appears in front of me.)

I mobilize all my mental powers and start running. Again. The dog follows me. Did I tell you that I was tired?

Anyways, I run for my guts for the second time in an hour, wahoo. At some point, I throw the bagels at EvilPadfoot 2.0. That doesn't have any effect. I run. I look behind me to see if I have a chance of survival. And pathetically fall in the sewers (Google translate, not sure about the word. Stinky tubes.). At some point, the monster abandons and I miserably find my way home.

That was the last time I got to walk alone outside my house.

Here you go. Is that worth anything? I don't know. But I'm too tired to write another one. Thanks for at least reading it.

[biro-slay]

Rene Descartes jumpscare in Ukrainian class today, why did that quote just show up there

[unhonestlymirror]

It's ALWAYS such a jumpscare to hear Lithuanians speaking Ukrainian. Especially if there are a lot of them, repeating one phrase over and over

[thegreenmeridian]

Jumpscaring my Ukrainian assistant manager by putting Добрий Ранок Україно on the stockroom speakers

[warcrimesimulator]

Jumpscared by russian twitter mutual speaking ukrainian. Who taught you that.

[omegothic]

why are some games so stupid (and my nephew wants to play only those games) that you cannot change the language in them. you have to fucking change the language of your console. bruh i don't want to have my console jumpscare me with russian language (it already does because like half of the text here is in russian and not ukrainian for some reason) but since there's no ukrainian in most of the games my nephew can only play in russian. and the games like that only give you english because there is no setting to change the language. this is so annoying.

[madwickedawesome]

WELL now I have an excuse to talk about it.

My url is a reference to the novel The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov written between 1928 and 1940. Bulgakov was Ukrainian (if anyone calls him "one of the greatest Russian writers" I will be UPSET) but obviously then it was the Soviet Union and well. Things were very very censored.

Wikipedia describes it as "The story concerns a visit by the devil to the officially athiestic Soviet Union. The Master and Margarita combines supernatural elements with satirical dark comedy and Christian philosophy, defying categorization within a single genre. Many critics consider it to be one of the best novels of the 20th century, as well as the foremost of Soviet satires."

So yeah basically the Devil, Woland, and his crew including a talking cat who plays chess and owns a gun and who is veeeery witty and sarcastic named Behemoth, a vampire demon succubus lady called Hella, a guy who wears checkered suits and it's implied he used to be an angelic choir conductor (he's the least violent one) called Koroviev (fun fact sometimes they call him faggot lol, фагот means bassoon in some slavic languages), an assassin with fangs called Azazello and yeah that's it I think, visit Moscow. In the first scene an editor and a poet are discussing how Jesus wasn't real, and Woland sits down beside them and basically says "no, he is. I've met him."

The novel switches between the stories of Woland and co, Ivan (the aforementioned poet, but only for the first half of the book. Sad. I like him 🙁), and some biblical chapters mostly from the point of view of Pontias Pilate. Another plotline that comes in about halfway through is about the Master and Margarita themselves (woo title characters!)

Basically, it's never really revealed who exactly the Master is. But a lot of people think he's some reflection of the author Bulakov himself. Idk I think there is definitely some truth to that. Especially when you're told about how the Master wrote books but burned his manuscripts (hence the line "Manuscripts don't burn). How does this tie in? Ok now for history:

Obviously, everything was horrifically censored in the Soviet Union. He started writing the novel, then was terrified that it would be found and he would be killed, the novel destroyed. So, he burned the manuscripts in 1930. He kept repeatedly writing manuscripts, I'm not sure how many but like.. a LOT. And the plot was pretty different in some of them. Actually, in one, margarita didn't even exist. A veeeery censored version was published in the Moskva journal in 1966 after he died (he died in 1940), and then basically it became this whole underground thing. A manuscript was smuggled to Paris where it was first published, the Moskva version was smuggled to Estonia, translated to Estonian, and published there, and for decades it was the only version that existed in the Soviet Union. Mick Jagger wrote Sympathy For The Devil about it after he was smuggled a copy.

It's quite literally the most colourful peice of art ever. It's wild, satirical, colourful, loud, so full of culture and it is, literally, life changing. It's my dad's favourite book and it is in my BLOOD to reccomend it to everyone. Thank youuuu for listening to my nonsense ♥️

i thoroughly enjoyed reading the entirety of this <333

THIS IS SO COOL I DIDNT THINK IT WENT THAT DEEP i have literally never heard of this before in my life Koroviev Is So Me (фагот) I WANNA REAS THIS NOW ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ THAT SOUNDS SO SO INTERESTING AND RIGHT UP MY ALLEY AND mick jagger jumpscare

[modgirlyreposts-revamped]

Ok thank you.

- I still haven’t decided where I stand on Shadow and spicy food. Thing is, he has a clear tolerance for… WEIRD foods, given he canonically eats straight coffee beans, so I don’t know if he would just be completely unbothered, like you could give him a ghost pepper and he’d eat it with a straight face, but it’s kind of an inside joke between me and Bread that he insists he can eat spicy food just fine, but literally could be taken out by a single buffalo wing and Sonic makes fun of him for it.

- As I’ve mentioned in the past I am a believer of the theory that Amy is a hybrid hedgehog/echidna. Given the echidnas were rapidly dying off, it’s entirely possible she and Knuckles have a shared parent if that’s true. Therefore, siblings. That or they at least share ancestry, and are the only two remaining of their tribe. Therefore, not really siblings, but I like to interpret them as having a familial type relationship.

- Amy is the only person he’ll really listen to even when her requests of him go against his plans. Otherwise he knows what he has to do and that’s what he’s doing.

- Knuckles is of Jamaican and Mesoamerican descent- Knuckles himself being intended to be Jamaican and the echidnas drawing from in particular Aztec and Mayan societies. Sonic is Egyptian, Tails is Japanese, Amy is Romani with Mesoamerican descent, Rouge is French on one side and American on the other, Silver and Blaze are Indian, and Shadow doesn’t really have an ethnicity on account of being genetically engineered. However, his sister figure Maria and her family are Slavic (Russian or Ukrainian is how I imagine them), so Shadow… kinda is?? I guess? And the above applies to Eggman as well because he’s… Maria’s cousin.

- Amy uses exclusively cute anime gifs to express herself over text. Every social media she has has the same y2k girly anime aesthetic. Sonic ends every worrying sentence he types with “lmao.” Tails uses emoticons like :), :[, ^^ and ^-^. Eggman types in all caps with full punctuation, and Knuckles uses no capitals but full punctuation as well.

- Amy doesn’t like horror movies, she thinks they’re gross, but she can sit through one easily. Shadow watches a lot of intense/thriller movies, so maybe on like Halloween, they get together to watch horror movies and Shadow sits super fixated on the story the entire time while Amy laughs at any jumpscare and sits super relaxed the whole time, talking about how she would try to survive if she were there. I feel like she would get PISSED at the ending of The Ring, and as someone else pops out the DVD to switch it for another movie, she’s furiously ranting about how the protagonist “just got lucky! that’s not fair!! what kind of storytelling is that?!” On the flip side, they watch Saw, and she just shrugs and says “it was fine, just an excuse to put some people in a torture room, but fine”

- Sonic can’t sit still for any movies, unless it’s like, John Wick mostly. He likes Keanu Reeves.

- Knuckles speaks both English and Spanish. Both pretty imperfectly, but he can speak both.

As someone who can live off of spicy things, being Asian and all, Shadow being weak af with spicy foods kills me-

[unkownknowledge]

I understand the fact that putting people in the shoes of fleeing Ukrainians is an important thing(I read enough to learn what it was, so if that's not the full thing please correct me) but when this title showed up, no context on my phone?

My anxiety SPIKED

Like please, this is as bad as jumpscares on something with no indication of jumpscares if not worse!

[hugevampiretits]

watching galazxy of the guardians 3 is amongis reference on purpose
