I didn't draw in like forever, but I really wanted to draw Puck in the moment of banishment
Bonus: middle aged PuckBrina, but I kinda gave up midway through
... but the reality is (in the Spy x Family universe) is that the war didn't just affect Twilight and Yor, it affected a whole lot of other people. The war stole a lot from them; livelihood, wealth, families, and the possibility for a future happiness.
And because Twilight and Yor hated so much what happened to them, they don't want another person to go through what they did. Preserving the peaceful lives of other people is what motivates them to be the best person in their respective jobs.
Here is a link to donate to Okhmadyt children hospital, which had been heavily damaged by russian missile attack. They hit the part of the hospital where cancer patients were undergoing chemo therapy.
I can't stress enough how important this hospital is for healthcare of Ukrainian children. Please consider donating, even a small amount is greatly appreciated, and spreading the word.
As I'm approaching my finals, I have to summon the strength of my favorite stem girls
Ukraine Sunflowers - Erika Toliusis , 1996.
Uruguayan , b. 1969 -
Oil on canvas , 20 x 25 cm.
They are so silly. No one does it like they do
(I love how they are allowed to make as much ugly faces as needed, instead of looking cute 24/7)
Mine's probably between Xeno'jiiva or Namielle from Monster Hunter: World Iceborne. Durneviir Skyrim is up there also
my take on talia is that she is as unhinged as mischa. look, all we know about her is that:
• she and mischa were, quote, mad passionate online lovers. on facebook and twitter. in ukrainian. was it like а-ах мішенька не зупиняйся🥵 or more of a *ніжно цілує твої губи під пісні вокарчука*??
• she found him through his youtube channel called bad egg and wrote mostly positive feedback on his video. the girl spends her free time watching badly autotuned music videos about booze and bitches. she probably makes them too
• she styles her hair like julia fucking tymoshenko. not just that this hairstyle is super hard to make, but also what sane person would chose to resemble tymoshenko??
• she agreed to marry mischa (or mb even proposed herself) at the ripe age of 18, upon never seeing him irl and probably knowing him for less than a year if not a few months
• she consciously shortened her name from natalia to talia. this was, for all i know, never done before. also talia means waist in ukrainian so there’s that
• and her middle name (?) is legit made up. were her parents pranksters by any chance? cause the fuck is moruska
• did i mention that she choose MISCHA BACHINSKI?? i mean who wouldn’t but still
verdict: she and mischa had to be separated because keeping them on one continent could’ve resulted in irreparable consequences such as everyone starting to use bro as a pronoun and dying of prolonged exposure to swagness
I can proudly say that I have an old truck parked near my home with "russian warship, go fuck yourself" graffiti on it
Literally no English-speaking people know this so I wanna share because I think it's the funniest shit ever
Y'know the quote "russian warship, go fuck yourself" that a Ukrainian guy said on the Snake Island? It became very popular among Ukrainians and was referenced in many other countries.
Ukrainians designed lots of merchandise with it, like stamps and patches, a lot of which was directed at charity early on. Then somebody made this:
The design aims to make the word "go" resemble the Ukrainian trident (coat of arms)
However, at some point people started using it without the russian warship part a lot more often. So I present to you this "patriotic mug", "patriotic pendant", and a "patriotic pillow" all of which say "go fuck yourself"
the full phrase was also very commonly displayed on billboards uncensored... there were a lot more important things to worry about other than keeping street ads appropriate lol
I feel like saying "idi nahui" lost all its offensiveness idk when I hear it I think of the meme 💀💀
So I've been collecting songs for my spy x family playlist for a month now. And since today we don't have new chapter I will rant about some of this songs here
1. Foo Fighters - Waiting on a war
This song right here describes all spy x family setting and Twilights story. Because peace between Ostania and Westalis is shaky and nobody can actually guarantee that it will last. And while civilians may live more or less peacefully, Twilight is always waiting on the war. But he knows that there's something more than that in life and with Forgers he has chance to have it
2. Hozier - Like real people do
I just needed Hozier song, because TwiYor have very Hozier romance. "I will not ask you where you came from" - is pretty much current state of Twilight's relationships with Yor and Anya. He knows they are odd but he will not ask them in fear of finding out. And both Twilight and Yor feel more like tools than actual people, but since they started Forger family they learn more about what "real people do"
3. Tember Blanche & Moisei - Ти лиш людина
This one's in my mother tongue (Ukrainian). For me it perfectly captures the feeling of the 86 chapter.
Chorus translation:
Show me your weakness, I don't ask you anything more.
If you are only human, then how can you live without fear?
Let's just say I can't wait fo Wheeler arc to be animated, because I have a vision for a really cool amv
4. Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Cold love
This one hard to describe. It has post reveal and opening up to each other vibes. It also has first joined mission gone wrong vibes. But most of all it has we are the same and we understand each other vibes. (Maybe I'll write songfic based on this. When I learn how to write hehe)
5. Rina Sawayama - Chosen family
Just a sweet song about opening up and found/chosen family. Very Forgers)
PS: I really need good songs for Anya and Yor. Especially Yor, since most of her playlists have femme fatale vibes, that don't suite her character.
If you have any recommendations PLEASE leave them in comments
I was scrolling my gallery and found this piece of art. I'm laughing crying
This is how it went in manga, right?
