Is Ukraine Ticklish?

Its unfortunate so much HRE fanwork is around him and his ~unrequited love~ with chibitalia, extending it into gerita. Like okay thats fine idgaf you do you but he has a life out of that too 🙄 Like come on hold my hand. Okay fine ill grab it. You gotta dwelve into the "austria as part of empire but not really" stuff. Or the netherlands/belgium/flanders bit with the war(s)..The peasant war. the seven years' war. Brooo even Napoleonic wars. You gotta give him a comedic relief mental illness because of his ridiculous map aswell. His clothes are based on those of philosophers have him debating Thomas Aquinas with Antonio or something. The absolute animosity between him and Francis is so exploitable. A bet he fucking shreds on the hurdy gurdy too. if you even care. And we can go further guys we can take it back to Cherlemagne times and do some ridiculous ninth century jokes. Hurdy gurdy guys

what's the most interesting thing in prussian history you've found? and the funniest lol i love stupid history

sorry I took so long to get to this, it's because I kept debating with myself because there are so many good options and the Prussian Space Marine Liberal Economic Timebomb is right up there but I think I have to give it to the 1830s esoteric Königsberg sex cult

Sasori: Did it hurt when you fell?

Deidara: From where? Heaven? Or in love?

Sasori: Brat, as much as I’d love to save your ego, you just faceplanted down a flight of stairs.

Just a little comics about Sasori being worried and Deidara being Deidara. I kinda messed the order up, but there are numbers in the corners so here we go

a new rareship dropped/j

i need a fic where they go to therapy together

now, numbers explained⬇️

! This is hugely simplified and by no means am I saying the situation was the same or anything; no it wasn‘t, but it‘s interesting to see the paralelles !

1 - referring to years of English/British rule over Ireland and Russian rule over Ukraine.

2 - in both cases native language/culture was heavily disadvantaged in favour of the coloniser’s language/culture. What a surprise.

3 - he’s talking about the Great Famine of 1845-51, exacerbated by Britain’s lack of reaction and continued exports of provision from Ireland. Popular attitude being that „God has sent famine to punish the Irish”.

4 - she’s talking about 1933 Holodomor famine, a man-made famine where the soviet version of the Russian empire deliberately took grain and other stuff from peasants forcibly as a part of „state grain requisition“ and also forbid emigration so peasants were trapped to starve. Duh.

5 - Irish rebellions against the British rule, notably in 1798, 1803, 1820s O’Connel movement, 1848, 1867 etccc

6 - Ukrainian rebellions under Russian rule, for example Mazepa in early 1700s, Koliivschyna 1768, Haydamaky early 1800s etc

7 - the first Universal of the Ukrainian Central Council in 1917 proclaimed autonomy, not a full separation from Russia.

8 - similarly, Ireland aimed to get home rule first, which also kinda means staying within the empire but having their own parliament. But the developments pushes both nations to a fight for independence eventually.

9 - Thus we get Irish war of independence 1919-21 and Ukrainian liberational struggle 1917-22.

10 - Ireland ended up in a civil war following the signing of the Anglo-Irish treaty in 1922-23; In Ukraine…ugh, it was a mess, but to cut the long story short, there was UPR in bitter rivalry with the Hetmanate, there were communists, anarchists, the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic with different struggles from the rest of the Ukrainian People’s republic, there were local leaders…yes. I mean. Mad shit.

11. Unlike Ukraine, that got de-facto occupied by USSR, Ireland, except for 6 counties, became almost independent following the 1920s struggles.

12. „Almost” because it emerged as a British dominion, a free state rather than the republic; all the way until 1949. And the tensions over those six counties imploded again in 1970s.

13. And Ukraine is still. Fighting for her life against Russia as I’m typing this. Friendly reminder.

I could go on for ages about this; the economic impact, the nature of independence movements – but I’ll spare you for now. Ukrainians, have a meme I made in 2023

OH. MY. 😈😈😈 I LOVE THIS. I LOVE HER. WONDERFUL.

by the waaaaaaay, if anyone‘s wondering what the hell is UPR, what‘s the deal with Ukraine in the period, etc, etc – under the cut are a few okay-ish English-speaking youtube video essays on the topic 😈😈😈 it‘s a whole drama, I swear it‘s worth it. One of them topics I‘m Very Normal about

Can I request Ukraine? Idk if you draw historical setting, but 1917-1919 (Ukrainian People’s Republic) would be cool🥰

MAMMA MIA. I'M SO SORRY FOR THE 10 DAYS RESPONSE 😭😭 but anyways,,

honestly idk much about ukraine's history,, but i did look up the outfit for this one so i hope this is accurate enough! ^^

I think, being Ukrainian, the cherry on top to just living through a genocide of your people and news about more and more rape, deaths and destruction every single day, is the constant gaslighting and whining from russians and some non-russians alike about us being so russophobic for daring to not appreciate the great russian culture.

Babes, this IS russian culture. Genocide, theft, rape, murder - that is russian culture. Everything else (ballet, literature, and the like) basically exists to facilitate, justify or disguise the things mentioned above. And everyone defending that culture, promoting it and giving it platform and awards participate in this genocide, willingly or not.

And until the russian people themselves process their identity and culture and the issues with it and work on it, it's not going to change.

sometimes i feel like i should write a proper intro to this blog or patch together a strawpage at least but as soon as i settle down to do it all my motivation goes to get bread, promises to be back in a minute, never returns.

so i‘ll remain mysterious and intriguing.

and you‘ll never know what i post next.

(even i never know that.)

when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter

Ah yes, linguistic dick jokes, that‘s what they un-shadowbanned me for. Immature? Yeah. Did I laugh when I realised? Yeah. So here it goes 😗 will I get sb‘d again? LOL.

(for those who didn‘t get it, Prussia in Latin is „Prutenia“ (according to wikipedia) and yeah it‘s similar to one of the common words for dick in Ukrainian, at least in the region I‘m from. Haha Eli how funny shit like this is exactly why you have no friends irl idiot. As far as I checked the two words are linguistically unrelated, just in case you wonder)

Today marks 11 years since russia started war in Ukraine. 11 years ago russian troops without identifiable insignia invaded the Crimea peninsula.
