They claimed that Ukraine is full of Nazis - yet they were the Nazis all along. They claimed Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the world - yet they are the oligarchs who openly bought their way into the government. Now they claim that Ukraine isn't the victim, but the aggressor who wants war - yet they threaten numerous countries with invasion. Now they claim Ukraine is ungrateful and greedy - yet they demand us to give up our country's resources to them while gaining nothing in return. Now their leader claims Ukraine is ruled by a dictator - yet he praises the real dictator, who's been ruling a totalitarian regime and starting wars for 25 years. Now they claim Ukraine isn't a democracy - yet they openly call their leader a king and want him to rule forever.

Every accusation is an admission. Always.

I'm shaking with anger and hatred

Americans

What have you done?

And why are you doing NOTHING to fucking show that abomination you call president the door to hell?

Or are you ok with what he and his team are doing?

Idiocracy in action

Your legacy is tainted forever

[pustotsvit]

Absolute favourite masterpiece

What are we to do for the ppl with money to start filming things like this gem again?

Why me, Gabriel? It’s personal, isn’t it? I didn’t go to church enough, I didn’t pray enough, I was 5 bucks short in the collection plate. Why?

I am drawing Minthara as promised, I really am. It's just that I've watched Nosferatu and we'll. What can I say. Apart from a more serious discussion of the film's artistic value and its impact on me personally, there is still a layer of the usual Astarion brainrot on top of it all.

Just for shits and giggles.

So, Minthara has no choice but to wait impatiently for the moment I can think clear again. I'm too cringe worthy silly rn to approach that beautiful woman 💅

[pustotsvit]

There is still some time to turn everything upside down, but it is quite possible that Minthara will be the winner in this one

Care to share your opinion again? My adhd wants to draw everything at once, so I need to outplay this bastard

[pustotsvit]

are you open to requests by any chance? (´･ω･`)?

I guess I am, technically 🤔 as long as I have time and a request is somewhat interesting to me personally, there's almost no way I'd turn it down. Though I'm mostly into specific fandoms, so dunno if our fandom stars align 🥲

Like, if it's BG3, Dishonored, Dragon Age (except Veilguard, sorry, I'm still trying to restore myself after whatever it was), Deathloop, Mass Effect 1-3, LiS2, Harry Potter, LotR, In the Flesh - feel free to send a request. Just keep in mind it might take A LOT of time until I get to it sorry.

Other fandoms are welcome too, just not sure I'd fill it.

It's surreal, you know. To live at the time of the war. I'm sure those of you who has never faced a modern, full-scale invasion of the biggest European country will never comprehend the terrifying bizarreness of our existence.

Here I was walking the streets, just running some errands. Kharkiv is not as lively and crowded as it was up to the February '22, and it is now scarred and wounded. Everywhere you go there are remnants of the ruzzians' constant bombing.

Ruined civil buildings.

Eerie silhouettes of the unlit houses forsaken.

Bomb shelters or the directions on where to find the closest one.

Monuments for those who were murdered by ruzzians. Not putin. Not some selected few monsters wearing human skin. By thousands of ordinary ruzzians on and off our land.

And it's mental that when you walk these streets you are actually ready to die. You see the bright flashes lightening up the sky from time to time, though soundless, and you think calmly: "Oh, so we are under attack right now. Must be Iranian drones. Our heroes are taking them down, it seems. Hope I'm lucky to get to the metro before something falls on my head".

And you go on with your day. Under the sky cut with lightning-like slices meant to kill you for just existing. Breathing. Going outside to buy some cat food and see if the city is being decorated for the holidays.

For being Ukrainian.

I'm not sure that the western media covers these topics anymore.

"People are tired of you, you see".

"Just let them take whatever they want, we want to live the life we are used to, with ruzzians as our allies"

"It's only natural to become numb to your grief, it's been years"

"Every life taken is now statistic, not a separate human being".

"The gas prices rise, we'd rather sacrifice Ukraine to avoid that and shake putin's blooded hand"

"It's not our war. We might have taken all the nuclear and almost all conventional weaponry from Ukraine in exchange for the safety and protection guarantees, but who cares. Let's just pretend it never happened".

While the majority of the people were celebrating Christmas, we were under a massive attack. A very ruzzian congratulations. The best representation of their nature.

It's not the first time that happened. Every significant day of the year we know we will be bombed exceptionally persistent. I'm talking hundreds of missiles.

The more sacred the date, the better.

It's not the last time, either. Far from it.

These few days there is a glaringly obvious silence totally uncharacteristic for ruzzians at any ordinary day. And this is the worst.

Because we know what that means.

It means we are to not celebrate, but survive yet another New Year's Eve drowned in our blood.

It won't be on the front pages - our suffering is not merry and festive, not in the spirit of Christmas. No Jingle bells, just cries of pain and agony and loss. Too depressing. Too tiresome.

I just hope my family survives this year's end too. So I can post photos of Kharkiv as it wakes up in the spring.

And I wish you a happy New Year, celebrate it to the fullest for all of us - dead and alive. Listen to the original Ukrainian Carol of the Bells, hug your dearest and thank whoever or whatever you believe in for being blessed with a life of peace and quiet. Believe me - you are the lucky one.

next victim who

Whom should I draw next? The first art of '25. Have some ideas, but dunno on which to work first

[pustotsvit]

He makes a fool of Death with his beauty 💔

[pustotsvit]

Astarion in a dress when?

Tomorrow.

Is it a back view again?

I refuse to answer this question.

Is there an Irrepressibles song that made you draw it?

Guilty as charged.

[pustotsvit]

Dammon X Astarion, anybody?

Just me?

Oh. Awkward.

(still gonna draw them and write about them and make it angsty and sweet and slowburnish)

Also, Dammon is body type 4. All those arms and core days in the gym forge, you know. He is Halsin's brother from another mother but shorter, and I'm obsessed with him healing Astarion with his husband energy.

[pustotsvit]

Yep

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[pustotsvit]

Swallow your hunger feeding this dark 🩸

[pustotsvit]

I suddenly remembered that I can draw anything I want so here is Astarion wearing traditional Ukrainian clothing 🫡

[pustotsvit]

wip can you tell he is already doomed? a slave to one very specific drow’s blood

[pustotsvit]

Astarion in a dress

Am I the only one in dire need of this? Gods help me
