Cut scenes from one-hour live with Roman Kotkov, creative producer of Major Grom: The Plague Doctor movie, and Sergey Goroshko, actor of Sergey Razumovsky.

I understand that the tumblr audience is mainly American, that’s why I decided to translate the speech from Russian and make subtitles to make it more comfortable for those, who may get interested.

*that game “looking eye to eye”, I always lose in that game like Sergey*

sergey sees the manifestation of kuthk who “will be the one to devour him” during the game as a woman, sergey has a very feminine appearance and this is commented on several times in the comics, “the bird” is a feminine noun in russian, what i’m saying is Evil Corvid has Fun Gender

Demonslayer Vol. 2 #5 is written by Alex Xatchett, translated by Danila Evstifeev, art by Denis Popov, pencils by Anastasia Kim, colored by Lada Akishina, and cover by Natalia Zaidova. I do really, really enjoy Tsafuran. I am thoroughly enjoying Demonslayer Vol. 2. Since the Time of the Raven, I think Demonslayer may be my favorite BUBBLE series; solid all around. I think my current “If you should start somewhere,” I would say start here.

Allies #5 is written Natalia Devova, translated Tatyana Omelchenko, art by Denis Popov, pencils by Marina Privalova, colored by Yulia Loganova, and cover by Yulia Litvinova. This is quite a switch. I do not know if these characters have shown up before, because I have not read all of Red Fury. I found the characters, however, fairly interesting. It took a bit to understand their situation, but I do not entirely dislike this direction.

Realmwalkers #5 is written by Evgeniy Fedotov & Roman Kotkov, translated by  Danila Evstifeev, art by Denis Popov & Anna Rud, colored by Anna Sidorova, and cover by Alexander Malyshev & Anastasia Troitskaya.  Similar to Demonslayer Vol 2′s #5 issue, this was a little bit of an inbetween issue. Both are good, certainly, but the story is still going, if you get my meaning. It’s not an outstanding issue, but it’s... Not bad. It’s just more of the story.

I will say, I noticed this time around some difficulties with the translation. Sometimes, issues are well translated with no English errors. For whatever reason, this round had several problems. Some are naturalistic errors--sentences that sound awkward or cumbersome, such as “Why cannot I open a portal from this place?!” versus “Why can’t I open a portal from this place!?” and other times, are grammar issues: “He’s been around here a moment ago...” versus “He was around here a moment ago...” I do not nitpick on the translations much, but I still think it’s noteworthy that it exists. My second frustration is not likely with BUBBLE at all, but rather with Comixology. The first era comics--Major Grom, Exlibrium, Friar, Demonslayer vol 1, Meteora, and Red Fury--are not publishing to Comixology. Why this is is unknown, it seems, among us fans, but so far signs point to an issue with Comixology and not BUBBLE. This is making it difficult to recommend these comics because I do not know when issues #9 will come out. This is very depressing because some of the stories are very good. Currently the only way to get further into the story is to read it in Russian, which is much more difficult for Americans.  I love era 2, but I very much want era 1 as well. :(

Oh I hope most of the Americans, in spite of pro-p*tin movies they watched, are proud of Vietnam veterans and ready to fight for America in the territory of russia. This piece of shit is a copycat of the American great classic superhero movies and it’s protagonist is a fucking cop and the evil-doer was obviously inspired by Navalny

vietnam war is complicated here...i would say most people have sympathy for the veterans and what they went through, but i don't think i know anyone who thinks the war was a good idea. i think the last war to be thought of as a 'good idea' universally was WWII. i dunno if anyone is ready to go to war with p*tin 😂

wait the villain was inspired by n*valny??? omg does this guy live in everyone's head rent free or what? let me look it up on wikipedia...

...ok, i see what you mean lmao.

also this from wikipedia "According to screenwriter and producer Roman Kotkov, "...we could not even imagine that it was so difficult to find a tall handsome man with intelligence in his eyes in Russia'" LOL

Demonslayer Vol. 2 #3 is written by Alex Xatchett, translated by Danila Evstifeev, and art by Denis Popov, Anastasia Kim, Lada Akishina. Cover by Natalia Zaidova. The crew end up in one of my more favorite places in the Demonslayer side of the Bubbleverse. I love seeing the different demons. Pavel remains.... Pavel.  Realmwalkers #3 is written by Evgeniy Fedotov and Roman Kotkov, translated by Danila Evstifeev, and art by Denis Popov, Anna Rud, Anastasia Troitskaya. Cover by Ivan Elyasov. We get to see a little more into the mysteries of Andrey. I am unsure who I like more: Andrey or Wolf >) Allies #3 is written by Natalia Devova, translated by Tatyana Omelchenko, and art by Denis Popov, Alina Erofeeva, and Victoria Vinogradova. Cover by Yulia Litvinova. I am unsure of what to say. This is a “the plot continues” type issue. Action happens, etc etc.  I have been enjoying post-TotR Bubbleverse, although when they finish with pre-TotR, I worry I will miss some things: Exlibrium, Servolk... I am grateful that they have both pre- and post- translating at once. I am a greedy reader!)

From the podcast with Matvey Lykov (playing August Van Der Holt)

***

Matvey Lykov created the DuboHolt pairing without knowing what the word pairing means

Wrote a fanfic without knowing what fanfics are.

***

Artem Gabrelyanov and Roman Kotkov try to explain what a pairing is:

- Well, it's when you connect two characters

Matvey Lykov:

- Sort of like mutants? 🥺

***

Artem Gabrelyanov on fanfics:

- People write stories most often erotic about their favorite characters

Matvey Lykov:

- And where is it all located? On the darknet? I don't understand

****

Artem Gabrelyanov:

- Who do you think your character will be paired with the most?

Matvey Lykov:

- Well, I hope with everyone

Artem Gabrelyanov: - HOPE?
