#vuk still jacks off every day to the one time they fucked and ivan forgot it happened u know that kinda vibe

[lietpolski]

The tags u left on that serbrus drawing are fascinating... Can you tell me more i want to study this dynamic on a petri dish

YEAH ofc !! i'm not the expert on those 2 but i do find the idea of them VERY entertaining <3 this will get long bc i'm insane

i think vuk's crush on ivan would've been a thing since the 1800s! and it was SO onesided even back then :,) so russia supported the serbs in their struggle for independence from the ottomans, right? this was nothing special for russia (they'd helped out other balkan states too), and they just did it because they wanted to weaken and defeat the ottomans. for serbia though this was huge! russian support played a central role in winning their independence, and i think vuk's the kind of person that doesn't forget it when someone does something nice for him

the next decades brought constant fighting with austria, during which vuk was 24/7 daydreaming about his only powerful ally, big hunk muscle daddy ivan <3 panslavism was ALL the rage (ivan wasn't nearly as into it as vuk was until ww1, i think that's part of where the idea of starstruck vuk who wants to be buddy buddy kissy kissy with russia and ivan being like uhhhh... comes from)

but when ww1 did happen, ivica came to the rescue daww. (overdramatic jokes aside, ivan DID like him, as a loyal ally & fellow orthodox slav, but more on that later.) so at the time vuk was all like <3 <3 <3 omggg my hero

relations soured when russia went on their big baddie commie era because yugoslavia thought they were cringe, but this changed during the 90's. russia was the only one to show support for serbia at the time (when no one else did including old allies) and so vuk was like 'ohhhh fineeee i can forgive him for his stalinist phase <3 i miss his dick anyway <3' and has been obsessed ever since

tldr a lot of this comes from vuk's main character syndrome where he thinks that the world revolves around him and everything that other people decide to do, they do because of how they feel about HIM, duh. & vuk being a prideful person who had no one else to turn to during multiple points in history, so he stuck to the one dude who WAS there like a little homosexual flea to a dog

he stalks ivan's instagram, has a helga from arnold-esque russia shrine in his bedroom and idolizes ivan (/has frequent dreams about having sex with him).

meanwhile ivan remembers to send vuk a happy easter card every year for that slay orthodox solidarity, and then forgets about him for another year because vuk's a huge pick-me girlie and it even weirds IVAN out a bit <3 his feelings are still overall warm but it's the difference in intensity that makes this dynamic very funny to me
