idk i love and respect and adore my ukrainian friends who are fighting against russian occupation and ethnic cleansing, but i guess that i do wish that ukrainian academics who are correctly protesting against russia would focus on russia's history with ukraine. they're doing a thing where they're like, bringing to light every single ancient wrong that russia has done to any non ethnically russian slav, and...

idk i've heard a lot of people take issue with it. my personal thing is that it's weird and dehumanizing to have the genocide of my people only matter and be appropriated in a "russia bad" campaign. if anyone talks about it, i want it to be with people who actually care about circassians, not just doing a kind of ... like... modern day orientalist painting.

is there something wrong w me

Is there something just too annoying or grating about me the reason no one really clicks with me

Was it always like this or just too late by 2012

Could I have diverted to a good time line

In any case it doesn't matter bc it's too late now

It feels like it is

How can there be any future

We need need need to tell Ukrainian stories. Show stories from individual Ukrainians, show documentaries, show movies about the war. Because it is stories that will get to the hearts of people, if their hearts aren't made of stone.

Not just war but people's lives, the people who are lost-- show not only death but their lives-- feel the full force of what it is when a human being is killed. And show what suffering russia causes, what we can't allow to spread, not only the killing but the brutality of the occupation, the kidnappings, the torture.

Show human stories, help others feel what they feel, which will hopefully translate into support, help others truly understand this war and what's at stake by seeing from the Ukrainian perspective.

because you're a good person and they're they're.

Really, you're doing awesome just surviving, because it's an impossibly hard thing you're going through. No one else can fully understand. It is a thing that should not be.

I know I write a lot here about my emotions and feelings, about how painful it all is but I really can’t describe you this pain. Your heart hurts, eyes are burning from tears, hands are shaking. You delude yourself into thinking that everything is fine. But it isn’t and probably will never be. When you go to sleep thinking that you should really consider learning tactical medicine and join the army because you feel guilty. Guilty that people that were so much better than you are dead. They were killed by russians. You hate being surrounded only by negative emotions, you hate thinking about daily life problems when your people are dying. You hate choking on tears every day. You hate seeing symbols when they are not there. You hate russians being all happy in Europe not feeling the guilt you feel. It’s not my country that attacked another country, it’s not my soldiers raping and slaughtering civilians - why I feel worse than they do?

Also I participated in Ukrianian “Song of the Middleearth” Artzine with my artwork of elves in the forest 🧝🏻‍♀️

it's so deeply stupid to me the way ukrianian names get "translated" into russian, some romanian guy named alexandru doesn't suddenly become alessandro in italy, why the fuck is dmytro dmitriy all of a sudden, oftentimes they're not even remotely similar phonetically, try explaining to a person who isn't familiar with slavic names how mykola and nikolai are the same name akshually, it doesn't even track.

Slava Ukraini

I just had to block a user, because they continued to attack me in my blog comments with Russian slurs for Ukrianians and also argued that, as the Moscow fascists claim, Ukrainian is not a "real language", in this case because they "can't play Sims in Ukrainian". As a Swede I am really honored to be seen as Ukrainian. Same pretty flag colors! We are all Ukrainians. And I stand firmly on the side of Ukrainians defending us all from the evil.

I finished my father's birthday cake!! I made a couple of other ukrianian desserts, too. He's turning the big 65, so as a joke, we are making him ten years younger 😂

There should be a modern movie about Taras Shevchenko. His story is amazing (and heartbreaking)

hello, hope you've had a lovely day! i wanted to ask, how do you choose colours for your works? that is one of the things i struggle with the most — staring at a sketch and not knowing how to colour it — and everything you make always has such a nice pallete ❣️

hello friend. my main references for coloring are ukrainian folk art, old ukrianian book illustrations, as well as old fantasy & sci-fi. perhaps you should study what color schemes and uses you like in other people's works and implement them in your art :] i also like to toggle curves in procreate, so if you use that program too you can try playing with that. or whatever the equivalent is in your program! and thank you for the kind words i appreciate it <3
