Next site, the city of Poltava in Poltava Oblast. It's the administrative center for the oblast. It's not known when the city was actually founded, though they have discovered archaeological evidence of Paleolithic dwellings and also Skythian sites actually in the city. The city itself wasn't mentioned in writing until 1174 in the Hypatian Chronicle, identified as Ltava. The Chronicle is an important source about the history of southern Rus (Kyivan Rus). The city was possibly destroyed during the Mongol Invasion in 1238-39, as many cities in the area around the Dnipro were. During WWII, the city was occupied by the Nazis from Sept 1941 - Sept 1943. The Jewish population of the city was imprisoned in a ghetto for a while, but later, they were executed in mass executions & buried in mass graves. By 1944, the US was using Poltava Air Base as a location to land its B-17 Flying Fortress bombers used during bombing raids named Operation Frantic against Nazi forces. Now, the city is an important one for education with several universities located there.

And on this September 6th, I want to wish this couple a happy anniversary. I hope they're able to have a little time for themselves, though I know that with a terrorist state attacking their country every day for a year and a half, they may not be able to. ππ

Iβm curious - people always seem surprised that multiple siblings are queer, as if itβs amazing the gay lightning struck twice so close together.
But human variation is down to our genes and external factors. Siblings are logically more likely to both/all be queer than not.
So a wee poll if you donβt mind!
Anyone can take part, there should be an option for anyone but please let me know in notes if I missed anyone.
For reference: queer is anyone who wouldnβt describe themselves as heterosexual or cis-gendered or allo-sexual. Anyone we would include in the queer group. And if youβre not including people by their own identification, we can have words afterβ¦
Notes:
If you only have one sibling use the relevant all option.
If you have an issue with the word queer I truly donβt want to hear about it - thatβs your choice, this is mine.
Reblog if you fancy! If you donβt then no worries, but if you can it would be nice to get a lot of replies!
I love drawings these sillies very much!! These are a bit old?? I think I drew these sometime last year, but they're still nice I think
They are super fun to draw!! And honestly pretty easy to draw in different artstyles too, the designs of the characters are all so well done!! Might draw them some more (my welcome home fixation will probably return with a burning vengeance thanks to the new update) so stay turned for more doodles and sketchies!
ALSO apologies for all the watermarks! I really hate having to put them on there, but it helps protect my work.. in a perfect world I wouldnβt have to but itβs for the best <3
here is also a bonus Barnaby that I never finished because I am lazy β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
