And when we say that russia will break the agreement, that russia will attack again... we are not saying it out of fearmongering or empty hate. We are saying it out of experience. This has happenned before. "Only an idiot does the same thing again and again, expecting a different result". They dont see a ceasefire or peace deal as that. They see it as an oppurtunity to regroup, to gather more power, or just keep going. They have done this before. A normal peoples ceasefire is when both sides stop shooting... Well guess what! russia is not "normal people". The second you stop shooting, they take the opportunity to keep shooting or rest a bit and try again. They have done this before. It`s like telling someone who was beat up to go make it up with the psychopath abuser, like:
He will beat me again.
No! See he promised to stop hitting you or screaming at you. Do you promise? Yes? See, youre fiiiiine. You can keep living in the same house, he won`t do it again :)
He promised the same thing last time and then beat me again.
Well you should try one more time. And if it doesnt work this time... then you tell me ok? :)
And the second you are left alone with that person... they beat you with 10x spite and anger, absolutely pissed that you dared to get help and "make it harder" in the first place. For Ukraine to stop shooting, it is motivated by the conventions, rules, NATO, EU. What is russia motivated by, to stop shooting? The conventions and rules they ALREADY break like its a national sport? You know... the civilian infrastructure they don`t attack because its against the rules... the POWs they don`t torture in camps or execute because its the rules... the children they don`t kidnap, because its the rules... the hospital and the Chornobyl sarcofagus they didn`t attack because that would be against any moral or international rules... Such a good streak of following the rules and being motivated by Geneva n stuff...
Also friendly reminder that there's no such thing as peace negotiation with russia. It doesn't exist and we learned it by experiencing it via bombs and missiles. Signing peace deal with russia right now means giving them time to build and buy more weapons, and draft bigger army for them to attack again in the future. It's not a peace deal, it's a break for russia to do even more damage. You're literally giving terrorists time off for them to gather more resources.
This is the first video from this guy i ever saw, and he put my thoughts as a Ukrainian into words SO neatly. Every word. As they say: "ΠΡ Π΄ΠΎΠ΄Π°ΡΠΈ, Π½Ρ Π²ΡΠ΄Π½ΡΡΠΈ".
I just wanted yall to know, that those "Its my birthday but no loves me" - AI slop images on facebook⦠they also exist here, on our Ukrainian side of the internet too. Fucking plague i swear to everything holy and unholy.
People from the outside sometimes tell us to concede those lands, that Ukraine should sacrifice them or make a compromise. But that is not that easy when those lands in questione are not just pieces of teritory in Hoi4 but instead... someones home someones childhood someones life someones city they had to leave behind Imagine how betrayed you would feel if you were told that your home/street/city that you fleed, should be given up as some kind of sacrifice or exchange to those that came to destroy it, conceded like a resource in a game to appease
kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warningβ¦ like yes iβm always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc
Really appreciate that there is a little list of other key words as dialogue options, that i can press to learn more about the details of the lore. Shame that i keep getting new keywords, and don`t have the time to go over all the previous ones in order because i get distracted by all the lore :\
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
Pebble
Grey
And the new succulent brother, that i need a name for! One that fits his character
Fun fact: If you ask Deep Seek about Tiananmen Square in English or most other languages, it says it can`t give you an answer...
But if you ask it in Ukrainian though...
Go through the Infernos of Hell. End the blodline of the last of Dragonkind. Earn your right to look down at Icarus with pity. Mold the land to your desires, as far as your imagination and ambition reach.
I remember...I was there... when the dabloon economy rose and fell in a span of days...But for a moment we were more than emperors - merchants, travellers. I deleted the cursed app not long after but i still have the sacred ledger books...maybe one day the dabloon empire will return somehow, in some way be reborn. Untill then we have memories...
Just saved something in my notes app and looked at my pinned notes (haven't done that in a while).
Remember that Dabloons cat trend on tiktok from a couple of years ago?
Idk what any of this even means but I was invested.
Made this sticker when we had blackouts and no electricity/water here in Ukraine. It is fine where i live now, but there are othere regions that still have it very tough :/
This is my dad. Volodymyr Torbynsky, who died on January 15, 2025. He was 55. He died defending Ukraine from russian invaders. russians killed him. Please, remember him. He is a hero.
Thank you all for your support, kind words and help. I really appreciate it.
p.s. Remember that the war is not over. Remember everyone, who fought for their country. Remember the price. The daily price of our freedom.
russia is a terrorist state.
You can support my mom and me here: pp ellensnake142@gmail.com Thank you.
Some Clay pins! The video quality is a bit rough cus i made it super fast, bu yeah! I Covered the pins with som UV resin and i`m very happy with the results :)
I had a dream where i legit started feeling empathy for butter. I just saw a block of butter on a pan and was immediately overrun with immence feelings of grief and pity, thinking about how butter feels when it`s cut or melted.
It felt like i was actually FEELING the butter`s emotions. Then i woke up and was like...WHAT
Getting ready for a convention! Its soooo close:} Sorry i haven't posted much, i was working on all this stuff. There are these pins, but also A LOT of stickers i will post next. And some jewelry. You will just wait and see. I know you guys will like it!
"Speak of the wolf and the wolf is (coming) into the house" (ΠΡΠΎ Π²ΠΎΠ²ΠΊΠ° ΠΏΡΠΎΠΌΠΎΠ²ΠΊΠ° Π° Π²ΠΎΠ²ΠΊ Ρ Π² Ρ Π°ΡΡ) This is literally the "Speak of the devil" but with with a wolf. People don`t even use the second part about the house. They just say: "Speak of the wolf". Perhaps comes from long gone supestitions of not mentioning dangerous animals as if to not "manifest" them coming to you. Its literally the reason the original word for Bear is lost. People genuinely were afraid to call the dangerous beast by it`s name, replacing it will nicknames.
There is a saying in Ukrainian: "Tell an idiot to pray and he`s gonna smash his head" (Π‘ΠΊΠ°ΠΆΠΈ Π΄ΡΡΠ½Ρ ΠΌΠΎΠ»ΠΈΡΠΈΡΡ Ρ Π²ΡΠ½ Π³ΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠ²Ρ ΡΠΎΠ·ΡΠ±'Ρ). Sometimes you can just say the firs half since everyone already know the second one. It comes. Context is It comes from the tradition of bowing/kneeling during prayer. And it can have two meanings:
No matter how easy, simple or straightforward the task is, a stupid person will still find a way to screw it up...somehow. Kinda like the phraze "You had ONE job, dude!"
No matter how healthy, constructive, well-intentioned, moral, wize, demure or logical the idea/cause/midset, an idiot will still find a way to either: a) completely misunderstand/distort it/miss the entire point....and screw it up, or b) go copletely overboard with no measure....and screw it up
This isn`t even related to anything specific in my life or on the internet, i just REALLY REALLY wanted to share some cool sayings/idioms from my language. Maybe language and folklore nerds will like it. Maybe writers and worldbuilders will get some cool inspiration for the way characters speak. Maybe i will just spread the good will of funny shit in my language and culture. I will post some more of these

Nah for real. It reminds me of how chidren humanize their favorite toys and how i treated mine as a kid. It really is cute how the whole of humanity has a little quirk of choosing an inanimate object and treating it like a friend, if you think about it. Still helarious how my brain glitched out on BUTTER of all things though
