Boxing/Mob AU set in the early 60s NYC. Ludwig Beilschmidt is a first-generation german immigrant in America who begins fighting in local bars’ homemade rings to make ends meet. Due to his height n size, he’d be a promising prospect in the professional ring, and so he’s scouted by a trainer into heavyweight boxing. He’s nicknamed: “Pretty Boy Schmidt” not because he’s particularly good-looking, but rather because by the end of a bout, in comparison to his opponent, he’s a supermodel. Also his last name is shortened to Schmidt because Beilschmidt is too long and hard to pronounce for da common, monolingual American citizen. He’s enjoying it until he gets into the ring with Alfred “Comet” Jones who isn’t there for a sportmanship-ly fight, he jumps the ring rope with the intention of fucking murder, Alfred is controversial n crazy n has beaten on unconscious men before, but for some reason, ppl love him for his savagery. After Ludwig gets his shit HANDED to him by Alfred, and suffers part blindness in one eye, Ludwig is like: “ok this isn’t fun anymore” but he’s too dependent on the money to stop because no one will hire a partly blind, ex-boxer with alleged connections to the mob (which he has, but not in the way ppl think). 

During one of his fights, he catches the attention of Feliciano Vargas who is part of one of the bigger mob families in NYC. Feliciano’s grandpa is v into boxing and although the old man himself doesn’t rig games he has friends n connections who do. ANYWAY both Feliciano (n Lovino) hate the violence n just sit cringing every round at even the lightest of jabs, but they put on their big boy pants n pretend to enjoy it for their grandpa’s sake (theyre like: “oh yea grandad we love seeing human beings give each other concussions n a shortened life span plagued by head trauma…..”). Ludwig wants nothing to do with Feliciano at first bc he thinks Feliciano just wants to recruit him n Ludwig refuses to have his fights tampered with, but is eventually swayed by da Italian Stallion Charm n when he realises that Feliciano isnt about that organised crime lifestyle (aka hes kinda bad at it so his family just keeps him out). But by associating himself with Feliciano, people begin to conspire that Ludwig’s bouts have all been rigged n his reputation is getting ruined by his alleged connections with the mob.

Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:

Vostok SOS provides immediate evacuation support.

Malteser International provides essentials for Ukrainian refugees.

Ukraine Crisis Media Center provides fundraising links and a list of tips for sharing information.

Misinformation spreads fast on social media. It is more important than ever to share accurate, verifiable news and information. Here are some resources to learn how to identify misinformation:

This link from the nonprofit WITNESS shares tips for identifying authentic video sources (available in English, Spanish, Ukranian, Russian, and Arabic).

Hello

As you may know, Russia has invaded Ukraine. The atrocities done to the country by our government is unmeasurable. Horrible. Unbelievably horrible. The invasion had no purpose even!

We, as Russian act*ivists, have one purpose: to show our government that it wasn't OUR choice. Protests here are a thing indeed, especially in bigger cities, but most of people are brainwashed and firmly believe a murderous creature (that is (not) our president) will solve "the problem" and things will be back to normal or try to ignore it out of fear for their future. The propaganda works so well that even being borderline poor and cut off from the rest of the world, no one cares about it.

We try to fight, we do it every day, in my and many other cities opportunities are limited, but... it is so scary. Indifference around here makes us feel lonely and desperate.

And I'm so petty to ask for your help now, because I'm not even the 100000th person to do so, but if you can donate me some money (or commission me realising I'll be much slower than usual) to escape this regime after huge rally that will take place in March 6th, I would be really grateful, because I have no hope for anything good around here.

If you haven't donated to Ukrainian charity or any other organisations that help Ukrainian people, DO IT FIRST.

Thank you for reading this. I hope our greedy imperialist bastard will stop as soon as possible. In our turn, we will do our best on this weekend.

Hi if you still agree with rhetorics of "Putin got provoked by NATO" unfollow me block me and never interact with me or my content since you fell for blatant Russian propaganda and i don't want to see you ever again. This is exactly what Russian tv says and sadly i live in Russia and have a tv. The situation isn't "more complicated than people think", it's clear as day. And i don't care how leftist you are, these views are fucked. Support Ukraine and Ukrainian people god dammit. The rest of the payment for comms I'm accepting exclusively as donations to help Ukraine since i can't use the money anyway or donate myself cause i can get up to 20 years in prison for this. Stay safe, слава Україні, Россия будет свободной.

I can no longer silently watch the Kremlin bots spread disinformation about Ukraine and Donbas region in particular. It pisses me off.

As many of my long-time followers know, I am not only Ukrainian, but also originally from Donbas. I lived in Donetsk under the occupation of Russian proxies for 8 years and moved to free Ukraine only a few months ago, before Russia attacked us.

Russian bots are trying to sow doubt in the minds of people from all over the world. They are saying that Ukraine subjected to genocide the people of Donbas. This is the official Kremlin's agenda and a pretext for invading Ukraine, DON'T BELIEVE THIS LIE.

The only person who carried out the genocide of Ukrainians (including Donbas people) is Putin. Kremlin bots are saying that this issue is "very complex" and intricate. I'll try to prove to you that this is not true, describing the events from 2014 to 2022 step by step. This is for people who really want to understand what's going on in Ukraine.

This is a VERY LONG post.

In 2014 the Revolution of Dignity took place in Ukraine. People protested against the former president of Ukraine Yanukovych who was the agent of Kremlin, basically Putin's henchman. He bloked the Eurointegration of Ukraine, people were pissed off, because they wanted to move away from the imperialist Russia and get closer to Europe. Yanukovych tried to disperse peaceful at first protest by force, but met a strong resistance. Then Maidan massacre happened, over a hundred of protesters were shot.

Ukrainians rebelled against the crimes of Yanukovych and he had to flee the country. Of course, it was Russia he fled to.

Putin couldn't afford to lose the influence over Ukraine, so he created his sock puppet "republics" (DPR and LPR) on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Basically, he invaded parts of Ukraine, starting the hybrid war. He also annexed Crimea and turned it into his military base.

Ukrainian army at that time was pretty much non-existing, extremely vulnerable. Because Yanukovych, being Putin's agent, did all in his power to destroy our military potential. Thus making it really easy for Russia to occupate our land. But still, Putin failed to fully execute his plans. He planned to turn the entire south-east of Ukraine into puppet republics, he got only some parts of the east instead. In the south, the people fought back and were able to defend their land from the separatists sponsored by Russia.

This was the beginning of a long war in eastern Ukraine. Russian propaganda presented the creation of the separatist "DPR and LPR" as the result of the persecution of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine. In the east and south of Ukraine, the majority of the population indeed speaks Russian as their first language, 'tho everyone in Ukraine can speak and fully understand Ukrainian. But Kremlin's claims of discrimination and persecution of the Russian speakers in Ukraine are all completely false and fabricated. How's that, you ask?

The entire argument about aforementioned "persecution" is built on the basis of the "Language law" that establishes Ukrainian as the state language. Literally, that's it. Ukrainian is the official language in Ukraine, what a shocker, huh? There is absolutely no language regulation of any kind in everyday life. Ukrainians can speak to each other both in Russian and Ukrainian and don't even notice who speaks which language. Actually, many Ukrainians speak in "surzhyk" - mix of Russian and Ukrainian. Russia's accusations are simply ridiculous.

Eventually Russia moves even further from these ridiculous accusations and declares that Ukrainians are fascists because of the completely fake "discrimination" against Russian-speaking and ethnic Russians.

- You know, your regular fascists who VOTED for a JEWISH person, president Zelenskyy (he won with 73%). BTW, Zelenskyy speaks Russian in everyday life, so does half of our parliament.

- The only right-wing party in Ukraine doesn't even come close to 5% of votes, even pro-Russian parties get much more support, even though Ukraine has been at war with Russia for 8 years.

Now let's talk about those separatist "republics". This is how they function:

- Putin's terrorists who occupied my homeland Donbas place their military bases exclusively in residential areas, right among the houses. Terrorists fire from residential streets, so that if Ukrainian side would fire back, these shells will hit residential or public buildings and kill civilians.

- If there are not enough victims for Kremlin's propaganda, terrorists themselves fire on civilians or just stage it, then Russian media such as RT films it and presents as war crimes commited by Ukrainians.

I personally miraculously avoided death at least twice because of Putin's terrorists.

- In 2015 I used to live in the district of Donetsk called Bosse (Боссе). One morning I was woken up by the sound of artilery. I clearly heard the launch and then the landing of the projectile, which meant that the shot was fired from somewhere very close. On a busy morning, mortar projectiles landed on a bus stop, killing 8 civilians and injuring 13. You can find wiki page by googling "Обстріл зупинки «Донгірмаш» у Донецьку" I could've been on that bus stop or in the grocery store in front of it. I was lucky. Occupants at first claimed that it was Ukrainians responsible for the shelling, but quickly figured that positions of Ukrainian army was too far away to reach that place with mortars. They destroyed evidences (filled the funnels so it's impossible for the OSCE to investigate) and fabricated this insanely hilarious version: Ukrainian diversionists on a garbage truck (!) with a mortar inside of it were driving around the city and shooting. Everyone knows what really happened.

- The Volnovakha bus attack. Terrorists from "DPR" fired at a civilian bus heading to Volnovakha. 12 people dead, 18 injured. I was ON THE SAME DAMN YELLOW BUS to Volnovakha only earlier that morning. And I saw with my own eyes what was left of it few days after the event, I will never forget what I saw.

I can't even count how many times terrorists fired heavy artillery right across the street from my house.

And now, Putin says he wants to "free" Russian-speaking people of Ukraine. He wants to bring the same pain and suffering to the whole Ukraine as he already did with my once beatiful Donetsk.

He denies the very existence of the Ukrainian nation, the Ukrainian language, our history. He wants to wipe out all Ukrainians. Putin is the true fascist here.

It's Putin himself who reduces the number of Russian-speaking Ukrainians. I used to speak Russian for my whole life and switched to Ukrainian 5 months ago, because I can no longer speak the language of this fascist. And I am not the only one who made such choice.

Don't believe in Putin's lies and propaganda. Double-check everything you hear and read. Don't spread disinformation.

There is no complexity and grey area in this war. Russia attacked us first in 2014 and now for the second time, in 2022. Simply because we, Ukrainians, dare to exist.
