Incoming care package of spicy noodles and whimsy

Also, one thing that might help is if you get sprite or any lemonade, shake it until it's flat and then sip on that when you can. It's an old remedy here but the science behind it is that the flat drink won't upset your stomach and the sugary drink will keep your body able to fight the illness.

Hope you get better soon and I'm very excited to see your contributions for Nikprice week!

Excellent choice in memes as always Hannah 10/10. I've been obsessed with rabbits as of late so that tiny rabbit ........ precious little thing.

And thank you for the tip !! I did go out and looked for lemonade cans but they only had the sugar free version, I thought that wouldn't work. Maybe tomorrow when I get home from my doctor's appointment :3c

Thank you for the kind words, hope you're having a good summer time !! <3

[nekrosmos]

Hope you got some sleep, bud.

I didn't but #weball

My day was just made 10000% better

Nik and Price try to build an Ikea wardrobe, proceed to lose their minds

cw: slightly NSFW towards the end but nothing too explicit

...

“No - Nik, this part goes here, not there.”

“Nyet John, I’ve looked at the plan, it says we need to screw this part at the top of the plank you’re holding, not the one on the floor.”

Multiple pieces of wood, glass, screws, nails and other furniture parts were scattered on the floor of Price’s apartment. Three hours. Three hours had the two men been fighting over this wardrobe, a new one the two had decided to get so that Nikolai could leave more clothes at Price’s place. What had started as a sweet and symbolic sign of their strengthening relationship had however turned into a logistical nightmare.

“Nikolai. How can a man this smart be this bad at reading a furniture plan. This obviously goes here, it says right there!”

Price was trying, and mostly failing, to keep his voice down, not wanting to sound like a right prick for being unable to build a fucking wardrobe, but feeling his nerves truly start to be tested by the damn thing.

“This “plan” is ridiculous, how are we supposed to build this with such unprecise instructions ? It doesn’t even show which screw we’re supposed to use. I’ve flown planes that were easier to understand than this bullshit.”

Sitting on the floor like they were, surrounded by signs of their defeat, must have been quite the sight, John realized. He chuckled at Nik’s last remark, and dropped the plank he was holding, unwilling to let this go on any longer.

“We’re screwed.”

“Da.”

There was a moment of silence, broken only by the sound of a screw rolling down the floor and under a nearby heavy furniture, making this particular screw a lost cause. The silence held a little longer, before the two men began to laugh almost at the same time. Their bodies were tired, sore from all the bending and moving and shifting they had to do while trying to build this wardrobe. Price came back home from some ops less tired than this.

“Alright, what’s the plan, then?” He asked, head turned towards Nik who was still holding the instructions right to his face.

“Hmm …. I could call some people.”

“Nik, we are not calling people to build a fucking wardrobe for us.”

“Why not?”

“It’s bloody humiliating. Two grown men, soldiers, who can’t even build an Ikea wardrobe ? If word gets out, I’m never hearing the end of it.”

Nikolai pondered the argument for a second, a grin on his lips.

“And how would word even get out, John ? It makes no sense. You are just stubborn.”

A loud grunt echoed in John’s throat at that, before quickly grabbing the plan from Nik’s hands.

“We are building this bloody wardrobe together, even if it kills us, alright ? We took down an entire terrorist infested building two days ago, we cannot be defeated by a piece of furniture, Nik, this is ridiculous.”

“Hmmm” Nik chuckled, still smiling. “If you say so.”

His eyes still fixed on the plan, Price stayed quiet, trying very hard to understand what the drawing was showing. Two screws, nails maybe ? Going into holes on the side of one plank. Which plank ? Which holes? There were about 15 of them on the biggest plank. He was losing his mind, not noticing the large hand that was now grabbing the back of his neck, until a long hum left his lips instinctively.

“Nik …”

“Da, John ?”

Nik’s hand played with Price’s skin for a bit, thumb caressing the side of his neck, right under his earlobe, the back of his scalp, grabbing him at a spot he knew Price was sensitive.

“I really don’t think this will help …”

The large hand left his neck, now going under Price’s shirt, sliding further down, past the waistband of his boxers, fingers teasing his ass while Price relaxed.

“I think it will, actually.”

Before Price could even respond, Nik’s lips met his, the kiss quickly deepening as Nikolai’s larger hands grabbed Price, pulling him closer until he moved to straddle Nik’s hips while he laid on the ground, careful to avoid any wandering screws. In seconds, Nik had already opened Price’s pants, big hand teasing his cock while he was too busy kissing Nik and grabbing his chest.

This would have gone further had Nik not suddenly yelped in pain, surprising Price so hard that he almost fell back with his semi hard cock out of his boxers.

“Bloody hell, what was that ? What happened?”

Nikolai was growing in pain, trying to sit back up with Price’s help, although the captain still sat on his hips. When he finally managed, the clear view of a nail sticking out of Nik’s back made the situation a lot more clear.

“Ah.”

There was a single drop of sweat on Nikolai’s temple and a frown on his face. Despite this, the two men glanced at each other, Nik’s dark eyes meeting John’s blue, and before they knew it, they were back to laughing together, Price gently grabbing the sides of Nik’s face and planting a kiss on his cheek.

“If this is not a sign that we need help with this, I don’t know what it is, John.” Nik’s voice was soft but joyful, clearly not minding the nail embedded in his left shoulder all that much.

“No, Nik, this means war. The wardrobe drew blood. This requires retaliation. From us.”

“John, let me just call Gaz, I am sure that he will be happy to help us, no ?”

“Absolutely not. Gaz would tell Soap, Soap would tell Ghost, and they won’t ever let go that their captain couldn’t build a fucking wardrobe on his own. Now, let’s get rid of that back nail of yours, patch you up, and then we’ll finish this. Together, Nik.”

A long sight was Nik’s only response. Captain John Price may have been the love of his life, but he also was as stubborn as they came.

The day was far from being over.

Fever got bad, slept for 2 hours, decided to take some sick leave, we ball 🔥

Only me to get sick af in the middle of July 👍​

[nekrosmos]

I love Laswell's assortment of puffer gilets and butch shirts. You just know, pre-wife, that when she had to select a glamorous dress for a CIA function Back In The Day she called in her disaster gay best friend-no, not that one, the one who can afford brand names from outside Mountain Warehouse and is quite happily out of the closet: Nikolai.

And Nik did not pull punches. Kate totters out in something she thinks is flattering; Nik flicks down his copy of the Financial Times, glances her up and down, and simply says, "No," before looking back at his article.

"What? Why? I thought--"

"If you want to wear a belt, then we should pick out a suit, the material makes you look like Chernobyl orphan and you took that cord around the neckline from my Babushka's curtains."

"Ouch."

"If you do not want my notes, do not ask. Next one. Double time."

Laswell scuttles back into the changing room to try on the next one. Nik is less scathing the second time. The process is more brutal than any interrogation Laswell's faced, but she always ends up looking flawless.

When she gets married, she decides she can't possibly break tradition and invites Nik to the wedding dress shopping. Watching him well up and sniff, pretending to be nonchalant when she finally finds the one, feels like the appropriate conclusion to their little arrangement.

Songs Prompts

Day 1: For the Last Time By Vesyolye Rebyata (The Jolly Fellows)

In the lead-up to the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the USSR released an album of Russian covers of popular Western songs. Among them was this track: light, melodic, and seemingly tender at first. Yet it stands as one of the most haunting songs ever produced in the Soviet Union.

The reason lies in its origins. The original version of this song is featured in Carlos Saura’s film Raise Ravens (Cría Cuervos), which tells the unsettling story of an eight-year-old girl who loses both of her parents. Convinced she somehow caused their deaths, her grief twists into a morbid fascination with death and loss, slowly pulling her away from reality, even as, all around her, a brutal dictatorship crumbles. The chorus captures the raw ache of this loss with devastating precision.

Time will fly by, And you will forget everything that happened To me and you No, I'm not waiting for you, but know that I loved For the last time

Day 2: Grass Near the Home By Zemlyane (The Earthlings)

At the height of the Cold War, the United States released Star Wars, forever altering global pop culture. The USSR answered in its own unexpected way: not with tales of battles between good and evil, but with a song about space that doesn’t mention conflict at all.

There’s a sly undertone to this, of course, but the message remains striking: instead of contesting comparisons that painted the USSR as an “Evil Empire,” the song urges us to rise above the fight and remember that out in space, we’re all children of the same fragile planet. No matter where our rockets lift off from, we all share the same quiet longing for home.

The son is missing his mother, And the mother is waiting for her son, And so is the Earth waits for her sons.

Day 3: It Pleases Me that I am Not Your Hurt Performed by Alla Pugacheva

In the 1970s, the Soviet Union released The Irony of Fate, a film that became a cultural phenomenon. With its glittering cast, the sex symbols of their day, the movie spins a love triangle where, after navigating everyday mishaps and deep-seated fears, the characters finally stumble into love.

The film is so filled with songs, it borders on being a musical. Yet there’s a curious irony: though it’s a story about love, its soundtrack is a tapestry of melancholy ballads about breakups, betrayals, and loss. The centerpiece of it all was entrusted to the Soviet pop icon — Russia’s own Madonna. Set to verses by one of the most celebrated poets of the Silver Age, this song in a fairy tale about love begins with a line that cuts straight to the bone:

It pleases me that I am not your hurt, It pleases me that you are not my illness, That as we step upon the heavy Earth, Its solidness shall never drift beneath us.

Day 4: Dark Night Performed by Mark Bernes

One of the Soviet Union’s most famous wartime songs isn’t about victory or glorious battles at all — it’s a song about separation, death, and fragile hope. When it first appeared, officials pushed back: it sounded “too sorrowful” for times of war. But that very sorrow, its raw and honest tenderness, struck closest to the hearts of soldiers longing for home and the ones they loved.

I have faith in you, in my dear friend, This faith shielded me from a bullet in the dark night. I feel joyful, I am calm in a deadly battle, I know you'll meet me with love, no matter what happens to me.

Day 5: But this is Not Enough Performed by Sofia Rotaru

The words of this light, seemingly happy song were familiar to Soviet audiences even before the song itself was released. They first heard these verses in 1979, spoken in Tarkovsky’s film Stalker — lines written by the director’s own father.

It’s a quiet, philosophical reflection from a man tempered by life, mourning the things time has taken and can never return. Beneath its gentle, joyful melody lies a bittersweet sorrow hidden in the lines:

Whatever I wanted to happen Fell right into my hands Like a five-fingered leaf. But it’s not enough.

Day 6: Calm Night by Kino

A band best known for their sharp, revolutionary anthems reached the height of their fame and surprised their listeners with this unexpectedly gentle, vaguely unsettling lullaby. Fans immediately spun theories around its lyrics: some heard a veiled tale of death, others imagined a pagan fable whispered in the dark. Years later, the song would become a staple of every Russian doomer playlist, its opening lines drawing listeners into a heavy, hypnotic world.

Tremble the roofs under the weight of the days The shepherd of skies is herding the clouds The city is shooting the sky with buckshots of light But stronger's the night, and great is her might

Day 7: Don’t Sleep on the Edge Traditional Folk Song

One of the most widespread lullabies in the Russian language tells of a world divided into two realms: the “familiar,” safe and tamed by human hands, and the “other”—alien, perilous, ruled by spirits and sickness.

In the song, a parent warns their child of the dangers lurking in that foreign domain. This threat takes the shape of a wolf, waiting for the baby to stray too close to the edge of the cradle so it can snatch them away into the dark forest. Perhaps that’s why this lullaby is so often compared to the plot of a horror story.

Hush, little baby, don't you cry Don't lie so close to the side — The little gray wolf will come He'll grab you by your side And drag you to the woods so wide

Mine friend, I don't know who to ask, but y'know... How do you draw body hair?? I'm going to choke Price for being difficult

Hey Lia !!

Honestly, a lot of it is looking at references, trying to understand the movement of the hair, and then trying to recreate it.

Make yourself a nice folder full of pictures of hairy bodies, and look at it for way too long before attacking the art.

I use this one ref a lot, here's a quick rundown of the hair movement on this person's chest, it helps me a lot when I'm drawing:

I draw each hair individually but you really don't have to, it depends on your style I think.

I also like to use a brush that is not too opaque, something more akin to a real pencil. I also add some depth to the body hair during the coloring phase, with a light airbrush !

Here's a quick little timelapse I took while drawing :

Like you see on the video, I usually start from one side and then do the other, but this often leads to me having to correct the first side I made because I prefer the second one, but it's really up to you how you do it. I also use a brush size that is bigger than the one I use for the lineart.

I also suggest checking out this body hair tutorial, which is absolutely amazing and can show you a different art style than mine! Don't be afraid to look at how different artists draw hair and get inspiration from them either, that's how you evolve your art.

If you want to try out my brush, I use the "colored pencil" one from this CSP pack : https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1842027

Here you go, I hope this helped ! I could always upload my file of body hair reference and send it to you if you need it ! Don't hesitate to ask. Mwah <3
