may- may I ask for some Vlad headcanons if you have them? thx

мой Влад? мой большой мальчик?

Hi, there! Of course, I can provide you with some Vlad hcs although I think I can't live up to yours <3

And if you don't mind, I'll write your hcs too because I think more people in fandom should know them!

Here we go:

His full name is Vladislav Andreevich Kostromin-Zelenskyy

He's Russian but one side of his family is of Ukrainian origins (I would bet it's on his mom's side but it's me guessing)

He has a twin brother - Viktor (go check @rtmkf 's OC!)

He boasts to everyone that his family sausage recipe is the best in the world (makes sense because when we see Vlad for the first time he's eating a sausage! So, in my mind, one of his family's businesses involves selling sausages on city fairs)

Now I would like to dedicate this part of the post to a slight episode analysis. I sort of gave Vlad's family members professions based on the things we can find on his cart (don't ask me about their names I'm not there yet lol). Let's take a look.

First, I would like all the readers to appreciate the cart itself. Vlad said it's been in his family for generations, so it's impressive how amazingly it was preserved to this day! This leads me to the thought that Vlad is a descendant of craftsmen! And to make ends meet these 100 years ago craftsmen usually wed their offspring with the children of tradesmen and it's not as a far-fetched theory for Vlad's family, I suppose! Because look, Vlad is selling food (sausages, fish), souvenirs, and toys! Not only these goods are homemade but of top quality! So, Vlad has presented his heritage as a craftspeople's kid and it was proved that he has adequate skills to sell them successfully. His ancestors who made a living from trade would be so proud of him.

Let's diverge a little from the topic. I love this cart so much I can't believe Jack destroyed it, ok? ༼ಢ_ಢ༽

That's why I'm rejecting canon. The cart is fine. Please tell me the cart is fine I don't believe Vlad's grandparents would be ok with the fact there is no cart kjashk Besides, Jack and Vlad's plan in that ep was so good I can't believe Jack's falling on the cart wasn't improvised too! When they were discussing how Vlad could impress the monks, both of them came up with the idea Jack should make him mad. And to make that as authentic as possible, Jack should damage something that Vlad holds dear. They build together a replica and the original cart stayed at Vlad's home. Yes, that particular hc was created so I would be calm and sleep well at night

However, let's come back to Vlad's family.

Remember that ointment Vlad sells to Dojo for his scale problem? In the middle of the episode, Dojo refers to it as babushka's medicine for itching. My guess is - Vlad's grandma was either a nurse or her herbs knowledge is so good she would make medicine for domestic needs (and maybe sell them too to earn more money so the family could have an easier life)

look at these cute teddy bears. Look at these wooden toys. This leaves me with only one conclusion. There are toymakers in Vlad's family!

And let me tell you. Russian wooden toys are awesome. Vlad owned many of them because his дедушка (granddad) made those for him. He enjoyed the bear ones and pecking hens.

They looked something like this:

But Vlad's favorite as a tiny boy to a 6 year-old-boy was неваляшка. It's a Roly-poly toy, which despite putting force on it to make it fall down, would always return to the standing position.

I also imagine Vlad's granddad used to make furniture, but once he retired he started making wooden toys as a hobby, which later turned out to be a great way to make a living! Vlad's grandma and aunt are very good at coloring them. Oh, and the other grandma makes these cute stuffed bears you've seen on the cart <3

As for Vlad's parents' occupation? Hmmm I don't know yet? I picture his dad as a butcher and his mom as a weaver, who specializes in making curtains, drapes, bed sheets, decorative towels/ kitchen wipers, etc. This idea originated from my assumption of what might be inside the boxes on Vlad's cart.

Ok, let's focus on Vlad now.

Headcanon no1.

He always wanted to try his hand at woodcarving but his parents would put education in first place. That's why all the children in his family went to English courses, so they could have a new to their family skill. And well, Vlad came to terms with the fact he can't be like his grandpa because he finds English quite useful. Not only can he chat on the Internet with people all over the world but also that skill comes in handy when tourists arrive. They let Vlad be in charge of the business more often because since he knows English, they earn more money.

Headcanon no2

All of the members of Vlad's family lead a quite busy life that's why Vlad wants to help as much as possible. He got so good at doing chores, everything is taken care of in minutes. It means much to his grandparents, who are not as active as they used to be (but don't worry they're quite strong for their age!)

Headcanon no3

Despite his massive build, Vladislav is good at acrobatics and climbing. His PE teacher would always assign him to various sports competitions because the fella is quite fast. And everyone's impressed with his backward flip jumps. That's the reason why jack keeps nagging Vlad they should go figure skating. Unfortunately, Vlad is more of a trampoline fan.

Headcanon no4.

Oh boy, he can cook. Babushkas know how to cook and they passed on the knowledge to the youngest children in the family. And Vlad usually amuses his grandmas with the Internet recipes he tried out. It takes a lot of convincing but ultimately a whole family can enjoy Vlad's dishes.

Headcanon no5, which is the continuation of no4!

When Vlad has meetings with the other Heylins he makes sure not to arrive empty-handed. He brings them treats! Usually Plyushkas.

However, Jack particularly loves Vlad's pelmeni (dumplings stuffed with meat). There's a funny story involving pelmeni. One time when they had no choice but to visit BABUSHKA's home it turned out the owner is at home. So, Vlad had to introduce Jack as his friend. Vlad's granny couldn't contain her happiness because Vlad has a very small circle of acquaintances. However, she bombarded Vlad with questions about Jack's appearance. She expressed her worries he was too pale, too thin... 'He is nothing but a twig!' - she exclaimed and urged the boys to stay longer so she could cook for them. Jack had to stay at dinner and he fell in love with pelmeni with the first bite. Nothing makes a Slavic lady happier than a kid, who eats fast because they enjoy the food so much. Jack also appreciated a homemade apple-plum compote. When they were about to leave, Babushka handed Jack a neat package with pelmeni. Jack was so touched by the woman's kindness and hospitality he shed a tear.

headcanon no6

Jack couldn't stand that communication barrier between him and Vlad's granny he asked Vlad to be his Russian teacher. They have online lessons once in 2 weeks. They both know they should have these lessons more often but showdowns/private lives prevent that. But the good thing is, Vlad sends Jack Russian memes!

headcanon no7

Vlad is so cool he sends dumplings by post. Jack is always surprised but writes to Vlad 'Спасибо тебе за еду' (thanks for the food) the moment he receives the pack. In exchange, Jack sends recipes from his mom's cooking book. 'Dude that meatloaf is my fav I bet your family would love it' - Vlad would often read.

headcanon no8.

Jack and Vlad give off Megamind and Minion vibes. Although Vlad is... not a servant to Jack, for sure. Aand he's like ... a meaner version of Minion ok? But Vlad is always eager to push buttons! Jack lets him be in charge of music just like Megamind let the minion provide music for his performance as the new 'president' of Metrocity.

headcanon no9

Jack has found Vlad's profile on one of these shady forums and their first interaction looked something like this.

Jack: Hi. I've read your profile info and I would be interested in cooperation. You're Russian, right? Can you speak English?

Vlad: Sure thing! But first, we have to discuss the terms, boss!

Jack: Oh, cool! I only know a little Russian so I'm glad it won't be awkward haha And before we go into specifics I must know what are your experiences in evil-doing. Because I'm searching for someone who's good at infiltrating.

Vlad: So you want me to be a double agent?

Jack: Yes. I contacted you because my granny has told me if she were to choose a co-worker she would opt for someone from Russia. She told me I can trust Russians, so here I am offering you a job.

Vlad: Your grandma is a wise lady, indeed!

headcanon no10

Jack has problems operating Vlad's toys. He struggles to find out how these can be used and Vlad, running out of patience would turn into Pleakley and yell 'educate yourself!' (however, Jack's ignorance results from the negligence he was a victim of. If we go with that detail from XC Jack had no toys. Yes, Angst.)

Jack didn't listen and hence, was defeated by a large roly-poly lol. The only toy that never fails to amuse Jack is a construction set consisting of colorful blocks of various sizes and shapes. Vlad left Jack alone in his room for 5 minutes and in that time Jack managed to build a whole city. Vlad was impressed but pointed out he can't walk into the room. At that moment Jack realized he would also have problems reaching Vlad in the doorway. The boys, very upset, had to tear down every building. they agreed that normally they would be happy to destroy cities in real life but this procedure is rather sad.

headcanon no11

Tubbimura, Jack and Vlad like to play jenga.

headcanon no12

Vlad and Jack were almost arrested for loitering. Vlad only wanted to teach Jack how to make a Slavic Crouch :( stoopit police

headcanon 13 a)

Somehow Vlad can't remember Katnappe's name. Usually, he refers to her by her criminal nickname or he simply calls her 'kitty lady'. The latter makes Ashley angry.

Vlad: Why is kitty lady mean to me? :(

Jack, without skipping a beat: She's mean to everyone.

Tubbimura: She has never treated me badly, hai.

Jack: Sonner or later, it's gonna be your turn.

b) However, Vlad has found out that if he pretends to be sad enough, she would sometimes apologize. She likes Vlad's eye color because one of her first cats from childhood used to make the same pleading stare. (but no one knows that. Ashley is very secretive, after all)

headcanon 14

Jack and Vlad have fallen out with each other after the events of Saving Omi/Finding Omi. Jack wanted no more to be Vlad's pen pal because Vlad immediately went to Chase with the rest of Jack's former team. Jack pointed out during their argument he thought Vlad is different. Truth be told, Jack felt the most comfortable with Vlad and he had the most faith in him, so no wonder he felt betrayed. That was bugging Vlad for a long time and finally, he decided to fix it up. He asked babushka to make dumplings for Jack, bought plane tickets, and set off to the Spicer manor.

'The return of master Monk Guan' is the only ep of season3, in which Jack doesn't appear, so it's nice to assume that day Vladislav visited Jack. Jack hesitantly opened the door because his mom told him to. Vlad awkwardly started explaining himself, he brought up their fantasy about the world conquest and their own reality show and finished his monologue with 'My babushka sends her greetings and hugs. I understand if you don't want to see me, so please take these and I'm off'. To Vlad's surprise, Jack asked him to stay. So, the boys had their first pajama party ever lol They watched some tv series and Mrs. Spicer fetched them some ice cream!

This hc was an attempt to fix Jack's characterization in s3. He was a laughing stock and let's not forget this boy has feelings ok? He has issues but also wants to be on good footing with the other Heylins. Besides c'mon. When someone tries to bribe you with food, you have to reconsider if you want to be still overwhelmed by negative feelings or let go and move on. Jacko did well choosing the second option <3

We stan Vlad-Jack brotp!

That's all! Thanks for reading!

Damn I am on thin ice here. A few arguments with Sylvie/Loki series fans and I am starting to dislike Tom Hiddleston. They say how he loved working in the Loki show and how he was part of making it.

I... I...

I know that's not the whole truth but...

Damn...

Now all I see is a pair of cheekbones oh so narrow...

Loki help me. I am so tired, so pessimistic, so easily manipulated into discarding all I liked... I don't want to argue I want to make my opponents just go away... and life sucks right now... it has sucked for sooo long...

I'll just start to fangirl over Zelenskyi now. I mean he is awesome. I loved Servant of the people series and the movie. 🇺🇦

Ps. Fuck... For those who actually went to cry to me on facebook after seeing this post! or are shocked by my words and tags here:

This shooting Sylvie and the writers is a referance to the scene in the gif. What I am using here is called imagination. It's fun. Try it sometimes.

Second crying in facebook of what I say here and taking it out of context (!)... not cool. I was standing up against misogyni, queerphobia, violence that leads to nowhere, torture of someone who is already beaten down... and a hero coded character killing others and smiling about their suffering as they burn alive...

At the moment this is the only way I can express myself kindly. There is so much more I want to say but I am now going to instead stare at the gif above.

He is so cute!

NORWAY—In thrilling news for supporters of Ukraine on the internet, the Nobel Committee has announced that everyone who has bravely added a Ukrainian flag to their social media profile will now be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Every year we scour the world for heroic leaders and freedom fighters who have contributed to the cause of peace," said committee member Bjørn Jørgensen. "Well today, those heroes are all of you—the unsung heroes of social media who have taken the time to add a Ukrainian flag icon to your profile pic. This is the kind of thing that stops dictators like Putin in their tracks."

According to the Nobel Committee website, internet users will have until March 1st to add a cute little Ukraine flag to any one of their social media profiles and qualify to receive a peace prize medal in the mail. Those who do not provide their shipping address will instead receive a cool little Nobel Prize NFT instead. Awesome!

"Today, the Ukrainian people thank the social media users around the world for standing with us," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while chomping a cigar and loading his belt-fed automatic weapon with more ammo. "We wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you."

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, is a Ukrainian who I already talked about in the thread, but we're going to again. Ivan Stepanovych Mazepa (Іван Степанович Мазепа), because Oleksandr Usyk was holding up his actual sword after defending his heavyweight title, which is flippen awesome. He was Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host from 1687-1708, which means he was the head of state of the Cossack Hetmanate. When he found out that Peter I planned on replacing him as Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host with a "russian" statesman, he defected and sided with Charles XII of Sweden. In 1708, the "russian" Orthodox Church laid an anathema (excommunication) on him, and they've never removed it. Luckily, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is now affiliated with, doesn't recognize the anathema & that it was placed for political reasons, so is uncanonical. Take that muscovy Patriarchate! During soviet times, Mazepa's name was used derogatively to describe pro-independence movements & anti-"russian" sentiments as "Mazepintsy," but that started to change with Ukrainian Independence in 1991. He is now considered to be a hero of Ukraine, so it's very appropriate for Oleksandr Usyk to be showing his sword to the world. It was brought by museum officials in Ukraine for the event. The Ukrainian Navy's first corvette, the Hetman Ivan Mazepa, is named after him.

And, I've talked about this before. I love the long history represented here. We have Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the very first Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host, from 1648-1657, then Ivan Mazepa, & finally, President Zelenskyy, all with the bulava.

Day One Hundred Twenty-Four

I just got home from 8th Grade Open House. It’s good to be able to do things like that again, and we changed up the format from the last time we did it, and I think it went super well. All the teachers of one subject gathered in one room (so Mrs. C and I were in her room) to meet with anyone who wanted to come in and ask questions, the counselors were in the auditorium to go over course selection, representatives from various clubs, teams, and student organizations were in the cafeteria. Our visiting eighth graders and their families started in different areas depending on their last name, and rotated through them all, so there weren’t huge crowds in any one place. That allowed us to have actual conversations with kids and their parents, answer questions, and so on. And it’s good to see them excited to come here!

Bonus: seeing one of my most awesome APUSGOV alums back in town and accompanying her younger sister.

So that’s how I ended the day. I started it by discussing current events with my World students, then doing a lesson on Confucianism and Taoism, and then doing some reading. I actually called on each student in my Block 1 class to tell me what they’d written about because I was getting crickets. I acknowledged that it can be hard to speak up, and told them I was proud of them afterwards, and everything went smoothly from there. My Block 2 class was... less smooth. I mean, it still went pretty well, but I had to address an issue between some students, ended up sending one to talk to The Vice Principal. Their behavior just keeps going back and forth, and it’s frustrating because I can’t figure it out. On the other hand, it’s the best lesson I’ve had yet with my Block 4 students, the most engaged they’ve ever been, everything was awesome. I said before that it’s wild how different three sections of the same course can be.

Also, one of the boys in Block 4 class responded to a remark I made about chi and martial arts by asking me if I could make him move his hand without touching him. I said I thought I could, and I checked that I could do anything as long as I didn’t touch him. He said yes, came up to the front of the room, and put one of his hands out in front of him. I did a kiai and threw a knife hand towards his arm- but never actually touched him- because I had a feeling it’d make him flinch. Which it did.

So I made him move his hand without touching him.

Meantime, in GOV, we finished watching The Great Hack and discussed the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. More on policy changes- domestically and internationally- that came out of that on Friday. Tomorrow we’re taking a pause from our regularly scheduled studies to watch President Zelenskyy’s address to Congress and discuss the war in Ukraine.

I was sick the last two weeks and re-watched and re-read a bunch of Vova and Olena interviews (the nice ones). And I feel so sorry for Olena. She doesn't talk much about her childhood or home or parents but every time she does, it gets pretty clear that she didn't have an easy life and relationship with them. Don't know if she realizes it was probably abuse and I'm happy for her that she later found a way to have a good relationship with her parents, but my heart breaks for young Olena and how hard it must have been sometimes. I think it was good in more than one way that she met Vova and Kvartal.

Yes, it sounds like she grew up in a pretty strict household.

And I would agree that it was good for her that she found with Vova and Kvartal not only a very supportive new family (or families, considering that Mama Ze viewed her as a daughter and she was always welcome at the Zelenskyy house) but also most likely gained freedom step by step.

I think, in the end (and without excusing anything) her parents, like Ze's parents, are a result of the times they grew up in and the parenting they experienced and that was popular at this time. And I think, Olena and Ze both realized later in life that not everything was ideal and okay and not necessarily their way of bringing up children. They both made a point in interviews (and Ze joked about it during shows) about raising their kids different in several aspects. Which is fine and good and obviously works and they also raise awesome kids. They followed their way and what felt better and more right for them.

They are, like many people that age (or younger), cycle breakers and despite having a good relationship with their parents (or finding a peace with their parents) acknowledge that not everything in their upbringing was the right way.

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar invitations Zelenskyy Putin to Arizona for Ukraine-Russia peace talks

Rep. Paul Gosar is getting into the worldwide diplomacy ring, providing his house state of Arizona as a location for peace talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “The world has seen sufficient demise and destruction between Russia and Ukraine,” the Republican lawmaker stated. “The Western nations seem cavalier to utilizing Ukrainians as cannon fodder and [are] disinterested in de-escalation.” “America pays over $3 billion a 12 months to the United Nations and funds over 25% of its peacekeeping operations,” he famous. “Why has there been no critical effort at peace talks? What occurred to the United Nations’ major mission — to keep away from one other Nice Conflict in Europe?” The conservative lawmaker serves on no committees after the Home Democratic majority stripped him of his assignments for posting an animated video depicting violence in opposition to President Biden and Democratic lawmaker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Mr. Gosar conceded he’s not a diplomat, however stated that he can’t stay silent any longer in regards to the combating in Ukraine. He referred to as on each Mr. Putin and Mr. Zelenskyy to return to Arizona “to de-escalate nuclear tensions, terminate the warfare and finish the unlucky demise and destruction plaguing each nations,” including, “It’s gone time to hunt a peaceable decision in Ukraine.” The invitation comes at a time when American assist for funding and arming Ukraine seems to be waning, regardless of the general public’s opposition to Russia and Mr. Putin. In a latest YouGov ballot, an awesome 81% of People deemed Russia “unfriendly” or an “enemy,” with Democrats at 83% and Republicans at 82%. Mr. Putin has a 76% p.c disapproval score, with each Democrats and Republicans disapproving of the Russian chief at 77%, whereas there’s a 70% detrimental view of Russia. However a survey carried out by the liberal Information for Progress on behalf of the Quincy Institute for Accountable Statecraft discovered that just about 60% of People would assist the U.S. participating in diplomatic efforts “as quickly as potential” to finish the warfare in Ukraine, even when Ukraine should make concessions to Russia. Home Minority Chief Kevin McCarthy has stated the Biden administration shouldn’t count on a “clean test” from Congress to assist Ukraine ought to Republicans seize the Home within the midterm elections. The Biden administration and its NATO allies have stated they won’t negotiate a peace cope with the Kremlin till Ukraine says it’s ready for talks. To date, the Zelenskyy authorities has stated now just isn’t the time for negotiations as its forces make regular features on the battlefield and Russia accelerates a bombing marketing campaign of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. The Congressional Progressive Caucus additionally appeared to assist the concept of the U.S. moderating peace talks between the warring nations after a letter from the liberal Home caucus to President Biden was despatched out this week. However the group rapidly withdrew the letter, signed by 30 Home progressives, within the face of robust criticism from fellow Democrats. CPC Chair Pramila Jayapal, Washington Democrat, stated the letter “was drafted a number of months in the past, however sadly was launched by workers with out vetting.” Originally published at Irvine News HQ
