These Two Characters Where Both Dubbed In Japanese By The Same Voice Actor.

Armand, is this you??

From "Amber Galbin", Rivne, Ukraine. Painting with amber.

Actually, I have some hc & wanted to talk about it, but have no one to listen, so I'll live it here xD Why else would I have "fandom blog"...

So. Yes. I think Tobirama hate and is afraid of Madara. But not only him. He hates and fears all of Uchiha kind. I was rewatching the 4th war arc and if you listen to Tobirama's monologue when he explains his thoughts on Uchiha's to Sasuke… Well, it's disturbing. It's sick. In front of orphan who lived through the massacre, Tobirama tells that all Uchiha's are "possessed by evil" and they also "possessed strength that surpassed that of the Senju". And he controlled and oppressed Uchiha's to make them useful to the village. Because he didn't like that Uchiha's family ties were placed above fellow villagers (whether he himself would prefer not Hashirama, but someone else - an open question). So, he literally said in front of a massacre survivor who's entire family and clan was killed for Hokage's demand that his family members were all "possessed by evil", insane, unstable and "welp, if they all died… it's their fault" (he heard, that they were killed, tho).

He didn't think of Uchiha's as of people. And he's not ashamed to claim that, even. He saw Uchiha's only as something useful. And if they are not so useful as Tobirama expects (at the same time, the standards of loyalty were lower for other villagers) then they deserve to die. He never ever regretted that he killed Izuna. And he never ever regretted that he forced the Uchiha clan to live in a ghetto on the outskirts of the prison and created prejudice against them. He wanted to have Uchiha's power at his side, but with ultimate devotion to the level when he expected that Uchiha's will sacrifice everything, everyone, even own child, even themselves to prove their loyalty. Even Hashirama seems to be shocked about his lil brother's behavior. He tries to hush Tobirama, but Tobirama simply don't think he did something wrong. He would, if that was someone else - another Senju, another shinobi, anyone else, but not Uchiha's. Uchiha's had to come to terms with prejudice, oppression, inequality, life on the reservation, mistrust and provocations. And if they're not - well, let's kill them. He had never even considered that simply giving the Uchiha's equality with the other villagers and stopping oppressing them would solve any conflicts. Because he didn't see them as people who deserved a normal life like everyone else.

So, yes. He hated Madara. He hated Izuna. He hated Uchiha's. And he fears them.

Do y’all think tobirama hated Madara because I most definitely do think he did? Part of me believes that he blamed kawaramas and itamas deaths on him simply because madara is an uchiha and an uchiha with power .

Im also 100% convinced that Tobirama was scared of madara and his power( and no one convict me differently)

I got bored with my dark femboy, whom I was recreating in Souls games, so I created light femboy xD

It was such a good day for him, tho. Makeover, nice walk...

...bonding with donkey.

Ashen one? More like Fashion one!

I lied Here’s new post Too long to explain

Hi. Please read Beauplan's and Merimee's works I mention. I did it for a reason. You will discover something interesting.

Also, I see that you are Ukrainian, so I can give you this wiki page to read - Русини́ (від літописного д.-рус. роусинъ[1]) — народ, що становив основне населення Русі, етнонім українців до XVIII—XX ст. And also, these source (it's on eng).

I hope it helps you to discover something new about Ukrainian history. Have a good day.

Because series made me to think about this canon again

For years, I was confused about how to feel about Armand's book backstory.

Like. He's from Kyivan Rus', BUT at the same time from 15th century. Kyivan Rus' was feudal monarchy that existed from probably IX (at least we assume so, because it was mentioned under that name in 852, tho it's not popped from the air, you know) to 1240. From ~1240 to 1349 the country was Rus' Kingdom. After that, Ukraine was splitted between Poland, Lithuania and Moldavian principality. Tho, Ukrainians were called Ruthenians (Latin name for former nation of Kyivan Rus') up until 19th century. I've read Beauplan's and Merimee's works about Ukraine, and they call Ukrainians both Ukrainians and Ruthenians.

SO.

When was Andrii (yes, this is how you would pronounce Ukrainian variation of Ανδρεας or Andrew)? He was Ruthen from Kyivan Rus' or he was Ruthen from 14th century Rus' Kingdom? Or he was even later? Book says he was born in 1481. So, later. A lot later.

We also know that he was kidnapped and enslaved by Mongolians. Mongolians entered Kyiv in 1240, it was a 13th century, not the end of 15th.

AND I HAVE A THEORIES.

Vampires live very long. So, probably it could be a mistake. Maybe Armand is simply older. Maybe he was around in 1240. He was just a child back then. Probably centuries later he was like 'yeah that Mongolians they sold me... so... it was... um... 15th century... yes? no?' Maybe it's just miscount. And then he never bothered to fix that.

The book is written by Daniel if I remember correctly. Perhaps Armand was like 'dude I was in orthodox Christian church I didn't know what year it was, I almost forgot my name and appearance in the catacombs under Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra'. And Daniel asked Marius when he met Andrii. And Marius... Well, if you are around for 2 thousand years, you can remember things incorrectly. So, Daniel, who is American and know nothing about history of Ukraine, and Marius who maybe knows something about Kyivan Rus' because it was a huge and powerful country back then just made that. They counted and assumed that it was 1481. And it was wrong.

Armand is a liar. How we can know that his real name is Andrii? Maybe he had a friend who's name was Andrii and Armand stole it. Maybe he was Taras. Or Bohdan. Or Oleh. How we would know? And maybe he never saw Mongols. How we would know? How would Daniel know? Maybe it was just his grand grandmother who told she saw Mongolians and how they burnt Kyiv. And little Andrii (we can say he was a weirdo all along) was just 'wow I want that! how cool it would be!'. And then he was kidnapped. And assaulted. And sold as a slave. And little weird Andrii just wanted a little comfort in his misery and a cool story. And when Marius asked how Andrii was captured, he made up this cool story about Mongols. Maybe in reality it was something more... Common. Dark and common. Everything could happen. Maybe he was sold by his parents, and he denied it. Maybe it was abuse in that church. Maybe he ran away from church and somehow ended up on the slave market.

Actually, I tend to 3rd. Isn't it a western movie where little talented boy paint so beautifully that Prince Michael (Mykhailo II of Chernihiv I assume) orders one of his icons, but on the way he and his father are interrupted by Mongolians. Also, it was said that Andrii suffered an amnesia due to his trauma caused by life in a brothel. He even starts to learn how to paint from the start, like he never knew how to paint before. So, was he at Lavra at all? Was he an icon painter? We would never know. He could just go to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, point at some old icon and say he drew it.

Or maybe some part of the story is true and some - isn't. I would speculate that Armand had an education. He wasn't a son of a hunter, no. He knew about Mongols. He knew who was the knyaz in 1240. But in 1481 Yurii Paz was knyaz. Mykhailo would be long dead by that time, obviously. So, how would little poor Andrii Ivanovych from 1481 know who was knyaz back when Mongols burnt Kyiv?)) A hunters son could not, he would not have an education, he would not know how to read or write, so history? Oh no, no way.

So, simply, we do not know who is Andrii. Is he Andrii at all? Was he born in 1481? Was he even 17 when Marius was thinking he was? Was his father a hunter named Ivan? Was he an icon painter at Lavra? probably yes and Ann Rice just didn't research enough

I just was thinking about it for years since I have read Vampire Armand. All these years I was wondering how he end up stolen by Mongols in 15th century...

Tho, it would be hilarious to see Armand's icon in Vampireverse Lavra. Imagine that. By the way, Lavra still have catacombs (I was there on tour). Maybe in Vampireverse some of Andrii's friends are there. Literally, their mummies as saints. He would arrive in Ukraine, in Kyiv and like 'oooh let's go see my old friends'. 'Look, Daniel, this is Marko, I knew him. Oh, and this is Illya, he looks better now, actually'. And then he would see his icon. And like... You know how it feels to see your artwork after some time. It's just not that good anymore, you know. You can do better now. Yes, this is how he would feel. It was a masterpiece in 1490s, he painted it for a year and a half. And now he can draw photo-like detailed art on his graphics tablet.

If you read this, thank you for the attention! Love you!
