Come, I will tell you the legend of the blacksmith's daughter, and how she stole the heart of a demon.

Book III of The Moth and the Bear, The Summer Road, is coming out this summer!

I love the idea of Kellaborn people painting and sharing stories about Ruyak and Kaelin after meeting them on their journey. I suspect generations later there are many tales and interpretations, possibly even a whole mythos. Everyone who meets them is certainly changed by them.

#sometimes I feel like all I post is stuff about these two and then I remember I love them and I can do whatever I want forever #been sitting around admiring slavic folk art and just sort of yearning y'know?#fuck realism let's get back to making everything big bold shapes and colors #tmatb #tmatb iii #grace makes art #g/t #sfw g/t

god i hate that jk rowling used the term veela (vila) for her harpy-like seductress creatures bc like, in their original context (slavic mythos, particularly south slavic, and, in some contexts, west slavic) theyre like woodland fairies/nymphs.

and given that she refers to bulgaria as far north and cold its no wonder that she made them all blond haired blue eyed (🙄) (she doesnt know anything abt the balkans)

#and she makes them french alligned #ofc all slavic influenced things have to be some sort of evil too #like durmstrang is for deatheaters #veelas are now harpy like despite their myths including a lot of mentions of them assisting in heros quests n stuff #just gotta make them uglier (bc to jkr being ugly = being evil/generally criticizable)#harry potter #hpdm #drarry

Love being obsessed with characters that are barely mentioned or don't have that much stuff about them. That guy over there?? Yeahh i love them. They are mentioned like once. I reread the sentence where their name appears over and over again to feed myself

#this is about veles and jarilo. i'm intrigued by them. a lot.#like. veles stole jarilo (according to some versions of the myth) when he was a baby. raised him as his own son in the underworld.#and the fact that the underworld in slavic mythology is something like a green lush swamp and stuff #and maybe little jarilo making flowers grow?? idk dude.#and after jarilo is killed and arrives at the underworld and veles is like “??? what are you doing here???”#obviously there's nothing on their relationship. did jarilo hate veles for kidnapping him? was kidnapping jarilo just a way for veles to #spite his enemy?? did they genuinely care and love each other?? NO IDEA.#yeah.

Is "Whistling will bring mice into the house" a thing for you guys?

Like do your moms tell you not to whistle indoors out of fear of attracting rodents? Or is it just a Slavic/EE thing? (My family is Serbian, so I'm going off of that.)

My top Russian Tv-Shows

Despite this being mainly a mandarinblr, I still try to practise my other languages so here are some of the most interesting tv-shows in russian for my fellow russian-learners and speakers and anyone interested.

Kitchen - Кухня This show has several spin-offs including Hotel Eleon and Grand which I will not mention as by the end of the last spin-off there are literally no characters from the original cast and the plot slightly goes of the rails. The actual show is set a french restaurant in Moscow where Max Lavrov, who just finished his military service decided to work at. The show follows the various challenges that Max faces at his new workplace, including the foul-tempered but very talented Chef Viktor Barinov who has a drinking problem and other interesting characters. It's quite funny and heart-warming, and it's a must-watch imo.

Youth - Молодёжка A pretty standard sports series tv plot. The hockey-team "Bears" are a meh team at best, but that all changes when a former National Hockey League player turned coach shows up to make a proper team out of them. I only watched the first season because after that the plot got a tad boring for me, but as far as sports series go, pretty good.

Law of the Lawless (Not the 1964 film!) - Бригада A cult-classic staple of only 15 episodes. The plot is a bit over the place at the beginning, as opening episodes sequence is a flashback to the start of the final episode but after that it's chronological, with the first episode w english subtitles here. 4 best friends start out as youths from early 1990s to 2000s, with one returning home after finishing his army service with plans for uni and the others just starting their lives. However, the Perestroika had significantly changed their lives, so eventually the gang turns from racketeering and petty crime to slowly becoming the mafia. The opening theme is worth watching alone, but then again I'm biased.

How I became Russian - Как я стал русским This comedy show is quite dear to me, as it follows an American journalist with russian and slavic roots navigating life and work in Russia as he works on a story about life in Russia for a major newspaper back home. He's back in his homeland but as a foreigner who finds his heritage utterly confusing. This series resonates with me, as despite having a good grasp of my cultures languages and customs, I still feel disconnected from my heritage at times, and this show has been a reassuring reminder that not being 100% attuned with your heritage is okay, and that there are many different ways of re-connecting with your culture.

Closed school - Закрытая Школа I was slightly tramuatized by this show when I first watched it 4ish years ago, in part due to how unhinged and off the rails the plot slowly but surely becomes. A descent into madness. Andrei and his sister are sent to study at the Logos boarding school, but are then informed that their parents have perished. Andrei doesn't believe this, so he sets off to investigate with his new friends and investigate he does. There are also some other background shenanigans going on, but the unraveling of the schools mystery remains the main interest, including its odd passageways and deeply disturbing history. As a thriller series, it honestly deserves that title.

Here are some shows that came out more recently that I think deserve a mention.

The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt- Слова пацана кровь на осфальте I've only seen a few episodes out of the 8, but it's very Brigada-esque so far. During the mid-late 1980s when Perestroika is going on and the USSR is soon to be no more, 14 year old Andrei is trying to survive as he's constantly bullied at school and by gang-members. He makes friends with one of said gang members Marat, as he slowly descends into the world of street life. I'll finish watching this series sometime probably.

The new guy - Новенький 16-year old Max moves from his glamorous life in Moscow to a small-town Yurovsk due to his parents constant arguing, where he immediately doesn't get along with his clasmmates who think him stuck-up and start bullying him. One day Max goes missing and his classmates are the obvious suspects, as slowly but surely secrets start to emerge revealing everyone's lies. A pretty good suspense/thriller show, which covers the topics of bullying, coming of age and what it means to be an adult pretty well, despite the 4th and final season being kind of lackluster.

Central Russia's Vampires - Вампиры средней полосы Where to even begin with this show. I don't know whether I should introduce the trailer or the opening theme song mv. Basically the life of a small and unconventional vampire family living in Smolensk, presumably in central Russia, who get disturbed when bodies with distinct bite marks are found nearby. This results in the Guardians (aka the guys keeping vampires a secret and ensuring that no one acts out) taking over and investigating with the vampire leader Svyatoslav Vernidubovich given a week to find and punish the culprit. My odd plot description aside, the cast is why I adore this show. The recently turned Gen-Z wannabe blogger Zhenyok, the thousand year old grandpa Svyatoslav, the constantly annoyed Dr. Zhan Ivanovich (who is actually french and decided to hang around after Napoleon was defeated) and his ex-wife The Countess who honestly should have a spin-off show and many more characters.

Doomsday - Конец Света Satan decides to come back to Earth and start the apocalypse, for which he needs his son Dimyan who should become the Antichrist but to his dismay, Dimyan doesn't really care about world domination and money, he just wants to get married to his fiancee Galya and live happily ever after. Chaos ensues as satan tries to persuade Dimyan to join him, whilst Angel vs Demon shenanigans occur in the background. I honestly had no idea that this type of show could even be produced due to the censors and yet it was. It's kind of slightly similar to Good Omens with all the apocalypse stuff and the Angels and Demons eventually teaming up? Good Omens adjacent. Except more gritty with much darker humour. The actor who plays satan is Yuri Kolokolnikov who actually starred in game of thrones so if you're a fan of his acting, do try this show.

Alisa can't wait - Алиса не может ждать Alisa is a 15-16 (don't remember her exact age) year old girl who is going blind and she decides to do something really drastic to ensure that her life will be comfortable after she loses all sight. There's a noticeable build-up to what she's actually planning during the episodes, as her homelife is less than ideal, with her older sister stuck in an unhappy marriage and a turbulent relationship with her parents. This is one of the few shows that really left a deep impression on me but it deals with some very sensitive and potentially upsetting topics so be aware if you're giving it a go.

This list may be updated in the future, so if there are any other shows that I may have missed do share them!

So how exactly did Caper manage to ask Sparrows out? Did he just like...google cheesy pick up lines and somehow it worked?

dammit dude, serious lore question, i can't funny along with you on this- nah, this man scared her shitless

even though Euros was always interested in the concept of romance, he didn't really.. know how to do it. he only knew that it was a form of dedication, closeness and love between individuals and the place He got those things from the most was worship. so he defaulted to Those questions

Sparrows was open to the concept a little (strangely not all that surprised by it, they first grew very close as friends before all of this), but first she demanded that if they are to be closer than friends and work partners, they Have to treat each other as equals. she was already pretty nonchalant while interacting with him beforehand so she had that checked off already, but he still had some things to figure out. of course, she helped him learn when he needed it

#Spot says stuff #rain world #rw #oc tag #oc: three sparrows #oc: caper of euros #my art #ORIGINALLY i wanted to put more effort into this (maybe clr as u can tell by the notes) but then ive gone over four pages n just went 'No.'#god dammit ill have to draw that halo properly one day SHIT. inspo for that thang tho is the slavic firebird so im :) homeland...#adore the phrase 'ask someone out' used for their situation. him?? Out??? motherfucker you are a Stationary Brick there is no ''''Out''''

Wiecie jak to Amerykanie narzekają, że ktoś nie wie jak napisać ich imię, bo rodzice wybrali całkiem inną pisownię imienia od tej regularnej?

Mam ochotę im wyjebać. Pani Maju i tak mnie denerwuje, bo przypomina mi się "Nie rozumiem" po Rosyjsku, ale Pani Majo to tak kurwa niepoprawne, że ze Skarbnicy NARODOWEJ to jeszcze większy wstyd
