My old edits of Ukraine wearing a more accurate (simplified) traditional costume in comparison to the Sharovarshchyna-like clothes she has on in the original

Sharovarshchyna is basically pseudo-ethnic clothing that has nothing to do with Ukrainian national wear, and only pretends to be ethnic through kitsch elements. Sooo... something like this:

Sharovarshchyna:

Cheap, thin fabric, often glossy. Eye-straining red + white colour combination. Large and very vibrant flowers on the clothes, sometimes glued on. Generally very saturated colours, plastic-looking flower crowns that have no usage in traditional rituals or holidays. Often very low in details, minor accessories like a single necklace. Men often depicted wearing vibrant red boots (symbol of femininity? most of the time brides would wear those). Has nothing to do with Ukrainian heritage. A caricature, theatrical costume popularized in the late 19th century, later endorsed during the soviet era, when russification was especially violent, and only the "correct" showcasing of Ukrainian things wasn't persecuted. Still used by Ukrainians as a scenical costume for the very purpose it was created - because it's cheap, and easier to dance in.

"Sharovarshchyna" comes from the word "sharovary" which is the name of the stereotypical loose Cossack pants

Traditional Ukrainian costume:

Mostly muted colour scheme. Dark red, black and white often used as dominant colours, with details of other tones with higher saturation. Many elements vary depending on the region and occasion. Typically linen or thick cotton fabric. Detailed decorative embroidered elements have spiritual and symbolic meanings. Flower crown-like headwear worn by women during holidays and ceremonies (like weddings). Decorative tassels and fringe are often used on sleeves, hems, and headpieces to add texture and flair.

Also! Aprons, scarves, sashes, belts, and a lot of different headwear! (⁠っ⁠.⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠っ

edit: for additional context, the second picture showcases wedding crowns and hats

Also some bonus examples of modern Ukrainian ethno-fashion ↓

Thanks for reading. I plan to do a more elaborate post with illustrations about Ukrainian traditional wear sometime in the future 🙏

(Not so) Gentle reminder to pretty much all the adults in my life:

I am autistic. If I don’t see the sense in a rule/command, I am not going to do it. To make me follow said rule/command simply tell me the reason behind it instead of getting mad at me for “back talking” when I ask for the reasoning.

Yes, it’s that simple.

He is such gender envy for me. And I have headcanon that their pronouns are he/they and he transmasc nonbinary

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

Serhiy Korolyov was Ukrainian, born in Zhytomyr, who was tortured by NKVD before becoming famous. The first human returned back alive was sent to space not by russia, but, in fact, by Ukraine.

The official version of Korolyov's death is silent on certain details, which, in fact, became the causes of death. During one of the interrogations, an NKVD investigator hit Korolyov in the face with a decanter, which resulted in a massive jaw fracture. In the camp, the bones fused incorrectly, due to which Korolyov's jaws could no longer open fully. Because of this, during the operation, Korolyov could not be intubated in an emergency, i.e., inserting a tube into his trachea for artificial respiration and maintaining the level of oxygen in the blood. Most likely, this is what led to the development of heart failure and subsequent death.

Мені важко працювати без стимів . Зазвичай коли я працюю біля мене ця свічка . Завдяки запаху легше працювати . Чудовий спосіб стіму. Більше всього мені підходять свічки з різдвяними замахами вони найприємніші
