AeriSeph x 🇺🇦

For Sephiroth, I used the reference of a warlike Cossack because Sephiroth looks good without a shirt. He also wears a hetman's hat, because feathers… feathers suit him💕

'Lo, there, somewhere near black waters A young cossack mounts his horse. Sadly he parts with his girl, But even more sadly with Ukraine'. Hej Sokoły - Polish/Ukrainian folk song

As a result of today's russian massive attack, near 20 dead and 132 wounded are known. The number of victims continues to rise. It is hard to believe that this story has been going on for centuries...

another cool historical fact

George Washington had an audience with the Ukrainian explorer Yuriy Lysiansky, who was a descendant of the Zaporozhian Cossack (it's a region where I live). George Washington asked a lot about Ukrainians and Cossacks. Yuriy Lysiansky wrote that this meeting had been one of the warmest of his life.
