My Main Ocs!! If You Wanna Know More About Them Feel Free To Ask Or Wait Until I Post Something About

💫Metamorphosis of a Soul: Races💫

First OC infodump whooo!! Metamorphosis of a Soul (or MOAS for convenience), is an upcoming comic based off my old AU (if you know you know). The story follows two brothers, who accidentally stumble upon a city of monsters and are now cursed to become monsters themselves. It’s a series with lots of diverse characters, inspired by mythology and cryptozoology, so it’s only fair that’s the first post I make about it describes all sorts of creatures in this made up universe.

Quick word about humans and monsters because there’s not much I can say here. They used to live in peace, until one day a war broke, and, when humans came out victorious, monsters fled, cursing every human that dares to come to their lands. Both humans and monsters have souls (as everyone does in this universe, as you may have guessed from the title) that look like orange flame. Monsters are naturally gifted with magic, and their souls (and, by proxy, their bodies) have little to no reaction from being exposed to it. On the other hand, humans are not born with magic skills (just like in our world), and even though they can study magic, and use spells and potions - exposing a human to too much magic can lead to causalities. Speaking of…

Changeling in MOAS universe is an umbrella term used to describe either fairie/monster kids/teens disguised as humans with illusion magic, or humans kids/teens, transformed into monster-like creatures due to some magic incident. Humans can only become changelings in their early life, while their bodies are still developing, and thus, can be reformed by magic - adults usually don’t survive such accidents and, instead of transforming into monsters, die.

While changelings are usually cursed human kids - shapeshifters in MOAS universe are usually cursed monster kids. Instead of losing their humanity, they lose their whole identity - all shapeshifters look the same and can only copy the appearances of others, making it hard for them to go back to living a normal life. Some higher class shapeshifters can get actor jobs or pay some witch to revert the transformation - but the majority of shapeshifters, who are lower class, usually become thieves just to make the ends meet. This makes shapeshifters hated and oppressed by all groups, even ones that claim to be a safe space for everyone

Last but certainly not least - ghosts - monsters&humans, who were poisoned by a deadly potion. Their souls resemble a candle’s smoke, and can be blown off just as easily, which would get rid of the ghost for good. However, many scientists experiment with ghosts, trying to make their form more stable, in hopes of achieving immortality one day. But, despite all efforts, the results are anything but stable - the ghost can possess objects, but will eventually suffer full memory loss; or it can possess a living being, but eventually the body will start to rot

Another thing people experiment with are homunculi - artificially created humans and monsters. It is usually practiced by couples who can’t have a baby due to medical (infertility) or physical incompatibility (interspecies/interracial relationships) reasons, but still want to have a biological child - which, homunculi are, since their creations requires samples of both parents (usually stuff like hair/teeth/nails + bones/fleshy body parts). The result will look like a horrendous skeleton-like amalgamation BUT it can be reshaped into something that looks just like regular humans/monsters and be raised accordingly. Homunculi have souls that look like blue flame, and are even more sensitive to magic than regular humans - so keep an eye on your baby if you don’t want anything bad to happen to them.

ok i think that’s all for now next post will be about magic systems or the main characters or whatever you’re interested in byeeee

Recently I started watching Medabots (Medarots) because I was bored at night but HELP I’M ALREADY ON EPISODE 16 WHY IS THIS SHOW ACTUALLY SO GOOD??? so yeah have some sketches i made later the same night i watched first 2 episodes lol

idw honeycutt but mlp because turns out that drawing characters as ponies is hella fun actually

plushie concept for a potential makeship petition 💥💥💥

OOOOOOHHH these are all so awesome! Really like how they look so canon yet so stylised, wonderful descriptions as well…really like the headcanon about Red being insecure about his mouth

finally done with my project! hope you guys like it

Overanalysing Konstantin Baragosin before anyone else does because I had nothing better to do, fell into a rabbit hole of character analyses and decided to make one of my own

As some of you may already know, I like «Cyberfarm» and I also like to analyse my favourite characters and why they act the way they do…and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Robogosin so here’s a compilation of my thoughts on him! Starting with…him possibly being neurodivergent!

Yes, there’s a big possibility of Kostya being neurodivergent or, at the very least, neurodivergent-coded. Throughout the first S1 of the series you can see this guy stimming and exhibiting narcissistic behaviour. The stimming is plain and simple, so let’s talk more about the narcissism thing:

Narcissists simply don’t think about how their behaviour affects others. Obviously, Baragosin considers his opinion the only right one…and, when others disagree with him, he views it as a personal attack, triggering his fight or flight response - his defence mechanism being threats or name-calling. Moving forward - narcissists think nothing of stealing your ideas or looking through your mail…which is exactly what happens in the series. Not only that, but those are what sparked the conflict between our two main characters in the first place. And, even when Kolya tries to "teach his friend a lesson" it doesn’t really work…

Because narcissists are extremely resistant to changing their behaviour, even if it’s causing them problems. Instead of changing something about himself, Kostya turns the blame on others. That’s actually what I really like about the way he’s written - it would’ve been extremely out of character if he drastically changed for the better in the span of the first ten episodes. Not to say that he didn’t even try to change…

It’s just that the only thing narcissists understand is their own needs…and thus, they don’t think twice about taking advantage of others to achieve their goals. Even when Kolya points out how bad that is to Kostya - he still doesn’t truly get it. No, in his world view everyone would’ve done the same thing if they were on his place.

Besides, how can anyone hate the most influential person in the entire galaxy who’ve made so much good for the company?! Yes, narcissists often exaggerate or outright lie about their achievements and talents…while, at the same time, projecting their faults and flaws onto others - just like Baragosin did in that one moments from episode nine.

However - narcissism isn’t the only thing that’s actively ruining Kostya’s life, so let’s move on to the next section of this character analysis.

Let’s talk about toxic masculinity - a thing as fragile as Baragosin’s robot body. This topic was already present in the very first episodes of the series - so I’ll just start with that and slowly make my way to discussion of later episodes, describing what toxic masculinity even is along the way.

Power. One of the many ideas of heteronormative masculinity is that "a man provides", and thus needs to earn money and achieve a high status. That’s the only way for a man to earn the respect of others. From what it looks like, Nikolai never really sought that out…unlike Konstantin. If they invented a truly marvellous invention - they should already test it on humans despite all the risks - only then will they take the world by storm. If Kolya was fine with a quiet farm life if things don’t work out - Kostya didn’t even consider that option. And, of course, he will never cancel that construction on Mars - his company is the only remaining piece of his power, that he clings on to like his life depends on it. And, rightfully so, considering that he already lost everything he had, including his own body. Of course all that is stressing Kostya out, which brings us to…

Aggression and "toughness". It’s believed that men should "act tough". This idea is directly mentioned in the series itself, but let’s talk about how exactly it affects Kostya and his surrounding. From the very first episode we can see how badly Baragosin reacts to criticism…which is why he deliberately surrounded himself with people whom he considers to be lesser than him. And, everytime these people question Baragosin’s authority - he lashes out or tries to get rid of them. Which is mostly noticeable with Pasha and Kolya. Things get a lot more interesting once Kostya’s consciousness gets trapped in a robot. Because now that he has lost his human body, his authority is always questioned. Now that he’s seen as just a "piece of iron" - he’s lesser and unequal to his human surrounding by default. Baragosin always viewed Pasha as a loser and still considers him such…but it’s not the same with Kolya. No, Kolya effortlessly fits into the heteronormative idea of a real man, despite being an unambiguous "softie" and thus not fitting into Kostya’s perception of manliness…which, obviously, pisses him off and results in conflicts between the two. Speaking of…

"Helping" behaviour. Studies show that people who experience toxic masculinity may not want to engage in what’s called "helping behaviour". They don’t want to help people either because "well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger" (like in Ilyusha’s case in episode five) or because they don’t wanna risk losing their status…actually, let’s talk more about the latter. As I’m writing this, Cyberfarm is still an ongoing series and we still don’t know much about what really happened between K&K…I do have some thoughts on it though. In the first two episodes, Baragosin mentions the board of directors and how things weren’t as simple and one-sided as Kolya thinks…and I don’t feel like he’s lying. Perhaps the shareholders really are the ones to blame for Kolya’s departure from the company. Though, I feel like Kostya could’ve done something to prevent that from happening and instead he just…didn’t. I suppose back then he was too scared to lose his CEO post and wasn’t as reckless as he is now.

Stigmatisation of mental health. Ok, let’s be real - Baragosin is very much mentally (perhaps physically too) unwell. The man is canonically 40 years old and is still suffering from his childhood trauma - just because he can’t let anyone see him in his moments of vulnerability and thus would rather indulge in alcohol instead of going to therapy or seeing a doctor.

Another "fun" fact about toxic masculinity - men who experience it are either homophobic or suffer from self-hatred due to being queer themselves…which results in them hating the person the secretly love the most, yet wanting to spend more time with them. I’m not implying anything, I’m just saying that…nvm who am I trying to fool here, you already know how I feel about baralibin (kostya x kolya). Not only that but it was recently revealed that the "robocism propaganda" joke wasn’t really an allegory for racism and more so an allegory for homosexuality and how it’s illegal in Russia. I suppose robots can be gay apparently if you reprogram them with a free will of their own. Which is also illegal to do. Wanna know who made it illegal? Baragosin. Who, in the very first episode, becomes a robot himself and embarks on a journey with his FrIeNd to get his human body back…idk guys sounds like a "homophobic homosexual" to me lol.

Last but definitely not least - yes, all of the above stems from Kostya’s childhood trauma and his mom’s neglectful parenting. I don’t even know what to say here because this is explored in-depth in episode seven of the actual series so like…just go watch episode seven of Cyberfarm it’s actually my favorite episode in the entire series so far!

Now, with that out of the way let’s finally talk about K&K. First things first - yes, despite everything that happened between them - they’re still near and dear to each other. Sure, Kolya’s mad at his ex, and for good reason too - Kostya stole his ideas and kicked him out of their own company…but Kostya is still his "only friend" and deep inside his soul Kolya missed him and was happy for Kostya in episode ten (that is until he realised what actually happened back there but I digress). Kolya’s point of view is plain and simple…so let’s talk about Kostya’s point of view.

Kolya is self-confident and better than Kostya in almost every way possible - he’s the kind of person insecure narcissists like Kostya would actively avoid. But, defying all odds, the two were best friends for at least a whole decade…which is very telling to say the least. I don’t think Kostya was just using Kolya for his personal gain, like Galya suggested - no, I feel like he really does enjoy spending time with his ex, even now that they’ve fell out of love. But, unfortunately for both of them - Kostya doesn’t truly understand how much harm his actions are causing to Kolya. And, even when he knows that what he’s doing is wrong - he still goes through with it. Because what other choice he has? He can’t just abandon his wealthy life he’s gotten so used to, can he? Obviously I’m not excusing any of his actions here, I’m just explaining them.

Also I can not stop thinking about how happy Baragosin was to see his friend in the first episode. So much so that he wanted to gift him and his family a ten room apartment, which is probably as far as his kindness for others goes. It is only after Kolya refuses Kostya’s offer and attacks him that Kostya finally shows some resentment towards his ex business partner too, meaning that Baragosin really missed his old pal and just wanted to talk to him…But Kolya probably ghosted Kostya and thus he had no way of knowing what happened to his ex and was surprised to find out that Kolya’s actually that one weirdo from Mars Pasha was talking about. Moving forward - my interpretation of that one "friends are with you as long as they need something from you" is that Kostya didn’t expect Kolya to just…ghost him and move to Mars once he got fired. But he did. So, instead of admitting that he fucked up real bad, Kostya decided that all this time Kolya just wanted to create a business together and now that he’s fired he doesn’t need Kostya anymore.

In conclusion - K&K are both deeply traumatised people who are still dealing with the consequences of their divorce departure. Kolya has a family but doesn’t have any friends…so he invites people to his village and takes home random robots that he then treats as if they were real people. Meanwhile Kostya doesn’t even have that. He ruined his and Kolya’s relationship and abandoned his family, becoming completely lonely and miserable in the process. Now all that he can do is bully others just to feel something. K&K need each other…but don’t want to admit it throughout the whole first season of the series due to their personal grudges with each other…I just hope things will change for the better in the next season. For now though - thanks for reading all that, I really appreciate it

Оверанализирую Константина Барагозина раньше, чем это сделает кто-то другой потому что я сейчас не в ресурсе для рисования и мне было нечего делать и меня вдохновили чужие анализы других персонажей решила тоже что-нибудь такое написать

Как многие уже знают я люблю «Кибердеревню» и мне нравится рассуждать о том, почему персонажи ведут себя так а не иначе. И особенно интересно в последнее время так рассуждать о Робогозине…поэтому данный пост является целой подборкой моих мыслей по этому поводу! Приятного прочтения (eng.version of this will be posted soon too)

Решила начать с близкой мне теме - нейроотличность. Да, Костя скорее всего нейроотличный и мне кажется, что так и было задумано…я бы даже сказала, что его стимминг и нарциссизм очевидные, но давайте разберём второе поподробнее:

Нарциссам плевать на мнение других. Очевидно, Барагозин считает единственным правильным мнением своё собственное, и когда другие ставят это мнение под вопрос а то и вовсе критикуют и осуждают - он воспринимает это как агрессию…а как говорится лучшая защита это нападение. Люди с нарциссизмом также не видят ничего плохого в том, чтобы красть идеи и читать личные письма своих друзей…что мы собственно и видим в сериале и из-за чего и происходят конфликты между главными героями. И даже когда Коля пытается "проучить" друга это ни к чему не приводит, потому что…

Люди с нарциссизмом крайне неохотно меняют свои привычки, даже тогда, когда они сами страдают из-за этого. Косте явно не легко живётся с таким характером, но вместо того, чтобы меняться самому, он винит во всём окружающих. Так что не удивительно, что за первый сезон мало что поменялось и я уважаю создателей за это решение т.к было бы странно если бы всего за неделю Барагозин полностью исправился, хоть и пытался…

Но для него собственные нужды всё ещё превыше всего. Причём в половине случаев он даже толком не осознаёт, что сделал что-то плохое - в его мировоззрении любой на его месте поступил бы также и вообще обижаться тут на на что.

Да и как вообще можно обижаться на самого влиятельного человека во вселенной который сделал столько добра для компании! Да, нарциссы частенько преувеличивают и даже лгут о своих заслугах будь то работа или отношения. При этом свои провалы и недостаки они проецируют на других, как было в той сцене в девятой серии.

Но нарциссизм далеко не единственное, что мешает Барагозину нормально взаимодействовать с окружающими, поэтому переходим ко второй части разбора.

Итак, поговорим о токсичной маскуллиности - такой же хрупкой, как и новое тело Барагозина. Эта тема в сериале поднимается ещё в первых двух сериях, поэтому начну с них и постепенно буду двигаться к остальным сериям, попутно разбирая наглядно что токсичная маскулинность вообще из себя представляет.

Власть. Одна из главных идей гетеренормативной маскулинности в том, что мужчина - добытчик, который должен добиться в жизни денег и высокого статуса. Лишь тогда он сможет заслужить уважение других. Николаю, судя по всему, это уважение других особо сильно никогда и не было нужно…в отличии от Константина. Если уж они изобрели нечто великое - надо сразу испытывать на людях, не смотря на риски - только тогда они смогут покорить весь мир. Если Колю с самого начала устраивал вариант в случае чего уехать в деревню и спокойно вести там фермерскую жизнь - Костя этот вариант даже не рассматривал. И стройку на этом самом Марсе он тоже отменять не станет - потому что компания это единственный клочок власти за который он цепляется как может. Барагозин уже лишился своего тела, без которого его не то что "настоящим мужчиной" не считают, а даже просто напросто человеком - он просто не может себе позволить лишится ещё статуса. Всё это нервирует и раздражает Костю, что приводит нас к…

Агрессия и "твёрдость духа". Считается также, что мужчины должны быть "жёсткими", как и их воспитание. Эта мысль напрямую проговаривается в сериале и тут всё довольно очевидно поэтому хочу поговорить о другом. А именно - как из-за этого Костя относится к окружающим. По первой серии можно заметить, как Барагозин окружил себя людьми, как ему самому кажется, слабее себя. И каждый раз когда они подрывают его авторитет он обращается к ним как к неравным себе и пытается от них избавиться, что особенно заметно в случае с Пашей и Колей. Но эта тема становится ещё интересней, после того, как сознание Барагозина переносится в робота. Потому что теперь, когда он робот, его авторитет подорван по сути всегда. Он буквально неравен Коле и Паше в глазах окружающих. Особенно сильно его в этой ситуации раздражает Коля. Потому что если Барагозин всегда считал Пашу ничтожеством и даже становление роботом этого не изменило - с Колей так не прокатит. Коля не "жёсткий", не стремящийся к деньгам и власти и не доминирующий…и при этом он прекрасно вписывается в гетеронормативные представления о мужественности, причём ему для этого не приходится прикладывать никаких усилий…что, конечно же, раздражает Костю и приводит к конфликтам между этими двумя. Кстати о них…

Нежелание помогать. Вот тут начну с канона и продолжу спекуляцией. Дело в том, что как было выяснено из соцопросов - мужчины которых растили "жесткими" зачастую не желают помогать другим мужчинам. Либо потому что "трудности закаляют" (как в случае с Илюшей), либо потому что не хотят рисковать потерей статуса. С первым всё и так понятно, поэтому сейчас расскажу насчёт второго. На момент написания этого анализа сериал ещё не закончен и мы толком не знаем что именно произошло между К&К, но у меня уже есть мысли на этот счёт. Судя по вкинутым в первых двух сериях фразах Кости про совет директоров и то, что "всё было не так однозначно" - думаю, что в увольнении Коли действительно виноваты именно акционеры…однако Костя наверняка не сделал ничего, чтобы помещать этому и помочь другу. Скорее всего потому, что на тот момент он ещё побаивался с ними конфликтовать.

Стигматизация лечения. Итак, давайте честно - у Барагозина есть проблемы. И много. О чём вообще может быть речь если в 40 лет он до сих пор страдает от непроработанной детской травмы…А всё потому, что мальчикам с детства закладывают в голову, что показывать другим свои слабости нельзя, из-за чего вырастая они, вместо того, чтобы пойти к нормальным доктору и психологу, занимаются "самолечением"…которое чаще всего сводится к алкоголизму, чревоугодию и блуду. Что мы, собственно, и видим в сериале.

Ещё один забавный факт о токсичной маскулинности - многие такие мужчины являются либо гомофобами, либо квир-людьми страдающими от ненависти к себе, т.к токсичная маскулинность это продукт гетеронормативного общества и их тайные мысли и желания в это самое общество не вписываются. Отсюда появляется отторжение, неприязнь и при этом желание проводить с любимым человеком как можно больше времени. Ни на что не намекаю, но…да кого я обманываю, конечно ж намекаю, вы знаете, как я отношусь к баралибину (костя х коля). Особенно учитывая то, что в шутке с "робосизмом", как недавно выяснилось, речь шла не столько о расизме, сколько о гомосексуализме и его запрете в России…видимо роботы могут испытывать такие чувства если перепрошить их на свободу мысли. Что тоже запрещено. Барагозиным. Который потом сам оказывается в теле робота и отправляется в приключение со своим ДрУгОм чтобы вернуть себе свое тело…хз ребята звучит как "гомофоб гомосексуал" хд

Детская травма. Вот мы наконец и пришли к тому, откуда все проблемы Барагозина и пошли. Да, разумеется всё вышеописанное не появилось из ниоткуда и, конечно же, проблема была в воспитании, том самом злосчастном "с мальчиками нужно быть жёстче" и желании добиться уважения. Тут и говорить нечего, т.к седьмая серия целиком и полностью посвящена этому и упустить такое можно только если вы полностью лишены медиа грамотности.

Итак, осталась лишь одна вещь о которой я ещё не говорила и которую решила оставить напоследок. Начну опять с канона и закончу лично моими спекуляциями.

Вот мы и дошли до подробного разбора отношений К&К. Над которыми крайне интересно думать потому, что не смотря на то, что произошло между этими двумя и какие у них отношения сейчас - они определённо очень дороги друг-другу. С Колей всё понятно - он зол на бывшего не просто так - всё-таки тот украл его идеи и выгнал друга из их же компании…но он также является "единственным другом" Коли и в глубине души тот скучает по нему и явно радовался за друга в конце сезона пока не понял, что там произошло на самом деле. Мы видим точку зрения Коли касательно произошедшего на протяжении всего сезона - она простая и понятная каждому зрителю. Однако в этом анализе я хочу разобрать менее однозначную точку зрения, которую нам толком не показали - точку зрения Кости.

Ведь, как я уже писала выше, одним лишь своим существованием Коля его порой раздражает. Раздражает своей мягкотелостью, наивностью, и тем, что даже по словам родной матери Коля лучше Кости во всём…И тем не менее они дружили и к тому же дружили долго, что говорит о многом. Как минимум, если бы Косте правда не было бы дела до Коли - он бы ни за что не показал ему свою слабую сторону и не открыл бы душу, как было в седьмой серии. В моей интерпретации персонажа Барагозин не "пользуется добротой Николая" как предполагала Галя - он правда его уважает как друга. Но, увы, просто напросто не понимает сколько вреда наносит Коле своими действиями. А когда понимает то не может поступить иначе - на кону его жизнь и жизнь их с Колей "детища", которыми он дорожит также сильно как и другом. Всё это никак не оправдывает его действия, просто многое объясняет.

Я также много думаю о том, что в первой серии Барагозин действительно был рад встрече с другом и даже готов был подарить ему десятикомнатную квартиру - что, в его понимании, верх доброты и щедрости. И обиделся Костя на Колю только тогда, когда тот не просто отверг его предложение но и напал на него. Исходя из этого и из удивленного лица Кости в той же первой серии, тот давно хотел встретится с другом, но Коля намеренно игнорировал бывшего партнёра из-за чего тот даже не знал где он и как поживает…Продолжая тему - моя интерпретация момента с "друзья с тобой до тех пор пока им от тебя что-то нужно. поэтому лучше быть одному. тогда тебя никто не кинет" заключается в том, что Костя надеялся что даже увольнение Коли не помешает их дружбе. Однако Коля улетел на Марс и с тех пор Костя больше его и не видел…и тот, не желая признавать свою ошибку решил, что видимо Коле всё это время от него нужен был только общий бизнес.

Подводя итоги - противоположности притягиваются и эти двое притянулись ещё и из-за одной общей черты - К&К одинокие и травмированные люди. У Коли есть семья но нет друзей, и чтобы создать иллюзию френдзоны он постоянно тащит со свалки роботов и зазывает на Марс других людей. У Кости же нет и этого а роботов он использует как козлов отпущения, унижая и калеча их, чтобы испытать хоть какие-то эмоции. К&К в жизни необходимы друзья и они, скорее всего, правда скучали друг по другу…но весь сезон всё никак этого не признают - один из обиды, другой из ЧСВ. Довольно печальная история и как человек у которого в жизни такое тоже было понять могу, но надеюсь во втором сезоне эти двое всё-таки помирятся. а ещё я их бывшими называла не только в плане "бывшие бизнес партнёры"you know-

PACING AROUND THE ROOM SO HARD GIRLLL. GIIIIIRL. THIS IS INDEED INSANE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOUR ART STYLE NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME I AM LOOKING RESPECTFULLY THIS IS CRAZY GOOD LOSING IT OVER THE SHIRT GJKKNGDGJHG NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY, JUST PURE EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS!!!!! ✨💖✨

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @felyas-stuff !!!!!!! HAPYY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL LOVE YOU CHERISH YOU💋

Drew like a dark, duxked up version of Felya's fursona haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full starred into my twisted perspective that would make most simply go insane lmao

Recently, I have watched a series called "Cyberfarm"(Кибердеревня) and, honestly, I really liked it! Probably my new favourite Russian series and one of the favourite series in general…sure, it has it’s flaws (then again, what series doesn’t?), but I’ll talk about them later. Because I think everyone should start their reviews with a list of things they liked about the series and what said series is even about

Cyberfarm is a series about two ex business partners - Konstantin Baragosin, who continued their corporate business, and Nikolai Kulibin, who made a small village on Mars, became a farmer, and lives a peaceful life there…a life that starts crumbling down after years later old friends meet again, to share out a piece of land they both need. Of course it doesn’t lead to anything good, and in mere seconds Kolya loses his home while Kostya loses…everything. Now, these two have no choice, but to forget their old grudges and help each other out, making friends and foes along their way.

Initially, Cyberfarm started as a short series on a YouTube channel called Birchpunk. That channel’s viewers were always talking about how good the VFX look and how much they would love to see this as a movie or a full-length series…which, eventually did happen, because people who worked on Birchpunk were sponsored by Место Силы and Studio Plus so that they can create Cyberfarm

YouTube indie projects getting picked up for a full-length series isn’t that unusual. We’ve seen the same thing happening to "Don’t hug me, I’m scared" or "Hazbin Hotel", as well as, since we’re talking about a Russian YouTube series here, "My student spirit" and "Обьяснялкины". However - I think we should take into account that Cyberfarm was the first one out of these three to get picked. And, at least for this reason alone, I think this series deserves more recognition, because it truly was a big step for Russian cinematography!

And not just indie Russian cinematography - there’s not much sci-fi Russian movies, and most of the ones there are are so bad they’ve been the butt of the joke for years (*cough* Cosmoball *cough*). So, yeah, Cyberfarm being a good Russian sci-fi is rather impressive…but, let me get back on track and talk more about the series itself

• It’s really funny, actually I know that "comedy is subjective" and all, BUT I (and, from what it looks like from many YouTube reviews, lots of other people as well) consider Russian comedy shows painfully unfunny. Which is why, when I found myself laughing while watching Cyberfarm, I was pleasantly surprised…of course there are some bad jokes here and there, but I just ignored them (as you should)

• AMAZING VFX Good 3D graphics and practical effects? In my Russian series??? It’s more likely than you think! Cyberfarm looks really good, half of the shots are pure eye candy and it really immerses you into the world the characters live in. Speaking of characters - all of the the robot ones look especially good, so good in fact that it took me embarrassingly long to realise that they made an actual animatronic only for Robogosin, I thought all robots were made with partiall use of practical effects 😳

• Russia in year 2100 seems very interesting Everyone I watched this series with liked it’s atmosphere & universe…and so did I! The show is full of unique locations, starting with the cybervillage itself and cosmotrain and ending with various planets the characters visit, the most unforgettable of which being Ceres (which, in this series’s universe, is similar to both Russia and Northern Korea). There’s also a lot of interesting concepts, such as conciousness transferring almost every sci-fi has and a hologram family subscription…so, yeah, season one does a pretty good job at exploring the lives of hypothetical people of future

WARNING! THIS IS WHEN THE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW START!!!

One of my favourite moments in the entire series is when Robogosin’s memory card storage is getting full and his robot body starts automatically deleting some of his memories. Explanation for those who (unlike me) are NOT "human/humanoid loses their body" trope enjoyers: usually, the writers don’t bother about such things; so you can either accept the fact that yes, for whatever reason a robot’s memory card is capable of storing an entire human consciousness OR make some insane headcanons about how much terabytes of free storage the robot in question originally had and what for does it need so much storage in the first place…then again, you still have to accept things as they are in this series because Cyberfarm is another case of, what I like to call, "yes, this basic assistant robot has a voicebank. no, don’t even ask why it has a voicebank". And it’s even weirder in Cyberfarm than it is in other series because in CF’s universe Vanya/Robogosin is the only robot with a voice module

• Konstantin Baragosin is CF’s the best character We’re finally getting to the main reason why I enjoyed this series as much as I did. And not just because (as I already mentioned and as many of you already know) I’m a sucker for "human/humanoid loses their body or/and ends up in a body of a robot" trope - Baragosin’s just a really interesting character…so much so that I might as well write&post a whole character analysis of him, but in this review I’ll try to explain why I like him in short. I really like the way he goes from JustAGuyTM to a rich businessman stuck in a cleaner robot’s body and how this path was portrayed in the series. I know for sure that some people may not like it, but, personally - love how he doesn’t change his entire personality in the span of a week and only becomes slightly better as a person (more so not "becomes", but "reveals" that deep down inside he’s a good guy). Also - I really like how, instead of being sad or going "I can get used to this" (like the characters in that kinda plot lines usually do) - Baragosin’s just really pissed off about this entire situation…no amounts of words can explain how entertaining he is tbh, it’s very much a "you should see for yourself" situation

also i like him because he’s just like me fr, love his little stimming (there should’ve been gifs, but tumblr said they’re too big to be included in this post)

• Ok, that’s enough about Bara(Robo)gosin - other characters are also pretty good Of course my second favourite is Kolya, but I also really like Anya, Ilyusha, Galya, Lyudka…yeah, I liked a lot of CF’s characters

I don’t know what else I can say here unfortunately so moving on to…

• ADs and product-placement look, I get it, I really get it and why people do that, but everytime Yandex Plus or СБП appeared on screen it felt like I was fully immersed into the story and someone forcefully pulled me out of it

• The way this series shows everyone’s hatred towards Baragosin is cheesily absurd at times, sometimes he’s portrayed as a total asshole and some other character still says something among the lines of "you’re an asshole and you deserve this" well, no shit, then again this show’s PG-13, obviously the viewers are too young to understand what’s shown on screen unless you spell it out for them. This series finale was even more insane - everyone Baragosin knows, even his best friend (!) were actually considering on doing what the main villain (!) was tempting them to do…just like Baragosin said in this very same episode - what the hell 😭

Also even though I said that I like the way Baragosin is written - I hate how he’s canonically somewhat smart but the writers actively portray him as a total dumbass. There ARE moments that clearly show that he’s NOT dumb…I just wish there were more moments like that in the series 😭😭😭

• Speaking of season one’s finale - yeah, it was really disappointing First of all - why is it two episodes instead of one. Like, in episode 10 (and occasionally in episode 9), half the time the characters were doing stupid ass shit, obviously to fill up the episode’s whole run time. So like…why didn’t they just make the finale one 35 or so minute episode instead of two 25 minute episodes??? The only interesting moments in these two are the ones with Galya and/or Robogosin, and the inclusion of some other characters really hinders the story with uninteresting plotpoints and plot twists. And, while I’m at it - the cliffhanger in which the villain reigns supreme while our two main characters suffer is…not what I’d like to see after witnessing their misadventures for eight episodes straight. I get what the writers were trying to do, but then again - that’s another reason why the finale should’ve been shorter, because at least if it was shorter it wouldn’t have left you with that terrible "man I can’t believe I’ve watched almost an hour of this just for Robogosin to end up at the dumpster" feeling…

• I like Pasha but I dislike Pasha I wanted to include him in my "favourite characters list" but I didn’t. Like, he has a potential to be a great character, but it feels like the writers wasted all the potential he had. And, once you realise it (I realised at the middle of season one) - he becomes really boring to look at it. His actions are predictable and you know he’s not going to take any risks - because he’s a doormat, always have been. Even when he tries to be the hero, specifically in the last three episodes of S1 - he fails miserably. And, if he’s one of those characters who are not that deep and the viewers are simply supposed to root for him because he’s a NiceGuyTM…why exactly should we root for him? It was only vaguely mentioned why he deserves to get promoted at work and those vague mentions are pretty much just "he deserves it. source: trust me bro". "But he’s such a nice guy!" someone would say…ok, and??? Kolya’s also Mr Nice Guy and he still got fired from the same job Pasha currently has. I just…hope he’ll get more character development in season two, but until then - he’s only interesting to look at when it’s Pasha&Galya duo

7’6/10, bonus points simply because I enjoyed it a lot, would recommend. Watched it twice and will watch it again, can’t wait for the upcoming season two. Also you can expect to see more fanarts for this series from me because there WILL be more

metabee and rokusho but i humanised them because why not :0)

It’s September 5th 00:43 (at least it is in my city BUT i still wanted to post this rn bc i waited so long to post this since i made this beforehand like two days ago) and I recently found out that TMNT IDW: H-M #8 came out on September 5th of 2012 which makes this issue 10 years old this year and

OF COURSE I HAD TO MAKE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY!!! As you can tell, Honeycutt/Fugitoid is my favourite TMNT character ESPECIALLY the IDW iteration he’s my #1 fave (with 2003 being the #2 favourite he’s also cool imho). So, I decided to draw my own version of the cover for this particular issue (which is by no means an official cover I just kept the original lettering!)…even though I spent almost, in total, 20 hours on this (and was struggling with perspective and asked my friend @ulichzae5al for help THANK YOU SWEETIE) I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’d be even more happy if you reblogged this 💖
