Rules: answer 21 questions, then tag 21 people you want to get to know better.
I was taggeg by @wistfulpoltergeist [ thanks, man, I needed smth to take my mind off the work issues ].
nickname
Vel. Well, it’s Valentin actually, but in Russian a shorter form would be “Valya” and this… thing summons a demon inside of me. Though, when I studied in the UK, everyone called me “Val”, so I’ve gotten quite used to it - and since I like the sound of it, but don't like the look of it - it became “Vel” and we’re done here.
zodiac:
Virgo
height:
~187 cm
last thing you searched
Место встречи изменить нельзя english title
favourite musicians:
Beethoven, Handel, Shostakovitch, Schubert, Tchaikovsky... And here you can find smth more modern, hehe.
if you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future?
A turn of 16th and 17th century for sure. But I hope it’s not a disposable time machine, for I’d like to see Ancient Egypt too.
do you get asks?
From time to time. WCIFs mostly, but sometimes wonderful people write me some wonderful things and it’s very inspiring.
following:
My fave ts4 creators, people who post beautiful edits and interesting stories, blogs dedicated to architecture, dark or cozy aesthetics and art.
would you rather be rich or famous?
I would give away all my money just to stay unknown, so...
amount of sleep?
4-5 hours. ~7 on very rare lucky days.
what’re you wearing?
Old black jeans and t-shirt with “purrr evil”, blue flannel shirt and felt boots - no kidding, it’s the best soft and comfortable slippers you can imagine for the cold season.
dream job:
A video games writer - but actually I’m pretty fine with my current job [ I’m a project manager in an IT company ].
dream trip:
Wanna see Lena pillars maybe. However, I don’t dream a lot.
if you were an animal, what would you be?
I’d like to reply “raven” but rook is more likely.
what are some of your favourite—
books:
Gosh, there are SO MANY!
Well, my life would never be the same without Tolkien’s Silmarillion, Machiavelli’s Prince, Bulgakov’s Heart of a Dog, Plato’s dialogues, Le Guin‘s Wizard of Earthsea, Huxley’s Brave New World, Wilde’s Ideal Husband, Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, Sabatini’s Captain Blood, Lampedusa‘s Leopard and Platonov’s Foundation Pit.
I’m not totally crazy and also I really like Neil Gaiman, Frank Herbert, David Wingrove, William Gibson, China Mieville, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Neal Stephenson and many others.
But my usual bookshelf consists of, for example, "The Military Organisation of a Renaissance State: Venice c.1400 to 1617","Artful Armies, Beautiful Battles: Art and Warfare in the Early Modern Europe", "Turin, 1564-1680: Urban Design, Military Culture and the Creation of the Absolutist Capital" and so on.
And I just adore Zelazny‘s Lord of Light and Whittemore’s Jerusalem Quartet.
films:
Just like the books - a terrible mix of everything. 2046, Metropolis, Ikiru, Amarcord, Only Old Men Are Going to Battle, The Damned, Fight Club, Psycho, The Godfather, Starwars I-VI, Amadeus, Master and Commander, The Bridge on the River Qai, Blade Runner, Wild Strawberries, The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Cube, Citizen Cane, 2001: A Space Odyssey... Well, it’s sort of an endless list, tbh.
shows:
I can watch almost everything, but let’s talk of what I watched more than 2 times. So... Babylon 5, Firely, HBO Rome.
games:
Morrowind, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 1-3, Dark Souls series, Portal 1-2, Planescape: Torment, Baldur’s Gate 1-2, Pillars of Eternity 1, Deus Ex series, Pathologic 1-2, Dishonored 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3. You also can look here.
instruments you play:
I can play guitar and probably piano, but it was really long ago.
languages:
Native Russian, macabre English and Français misérable.
describe yourself as an aesthetic:
Can’t choose between a small rock somewhere in the northern fogs and a stainless mirror.
