My Piece For The @hwsfemmephenomenon Zine, Featuring Ukraine!! She's In A Traditional Uzbek Chapan, Eating

"russians dni" is one of the coolest things ukrainians invented because somehow it's not even a spell against russians it's a spell against the idiots offended on their behalf because how can you possibly follow someone whose friend was torn apart by russian missile or whatever if they're mean

I‘ve been thinking about 1р Ukraine‘s human name (again) – and yes, I know I was screaming that I like „Mariia Chernenko“ for her, but that was before I knew Chernenko was just randomly added by a translator; besides, I was influenced by another character called Marichka/Mariia at the time and I kind of drifted away from that idea 🫠

And now I feel it kinda doesn‘t fit her and is kinda generic; not in a bad sense, rather that it is a name rather popular all throughout the world…not specific to her

So I‘ve been thinking — there is a nameform that half the names Hima suggested for her (Iryna, Kateryna) + some other common Ukrainian names (Marina, Daryna, Oryna, Karyna, you get me) can be shortened to — And its Ryna/Rina (Рина); short and simple

🤔🤔🤔

Sounds like a compromise. What do y’all think does it fit her?

you said your opinion on russia, belarus, and ukraine being related, but what would you think about just belarus and ukraine being sisters?

ehhh…

First of all, I’m really confused by the entire sibling/families thing in Hetalia. It’s complicated as hell, so I prefer none of them being siblings by blood, and those who are close in that way becoming siblings in spirit if they want too

I mentioned this already briefly (unless you know me on Discord. then not briefly, haha), but I’ve got a vision how different principalities of the medieval feudal union of tribes/city states, Ruthenia/Kyivan Rus, evolved, which I’ll elaborate one day if you’re interested✋🏼

As for those two:

– Principality of Kyiv – became Ukraine

– Principality of Polatsk – became Belarus

Kyiv and Polatsk grew up together as friends-rivals-frenemies occasionally allying and infighting depending on the situation. They joined Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth together. They rebelled together (although still fought for power a bit amidst the uprising), and fell under russian rule together. They had their independence movements, cultural revival, although it’s sad how the Beloruthian one is barely talked of. And finally, Beloruthian language it the closest related to Ukrainian.

They share much more than appears. So, whether they would want to consider themselves sisters in spirit nowardays?

Heh. Mayhaps

It is another headcanon, but occasionally, Belarus snaps, wakes up from how she usually acts, and just stares to the front: "what am I even doing?"

And then Ivan hits her on a head with somethin' and she goes back to 'normal'

Could you please draw some lietukr having a good time?🙏🙏🙏

thoughts on lietpru (especially grunwald)?

to be fair, as a ship, it’s ✨not my cup of tea✨ and I‘m not having a go at you if you‘re shipping it, for all I care, it‘s just it‘s not on my long and nuanced list of either Prussia or Lithuania ships I enjoy.

And the easy shortcut route would be to say that I can‘t view it as not toxic, literally ever since the Teutonic Knights arrived to the region and up until the damn 20th century.

✨off topic but in Ukraine we have a a dishwashing liquid named Grünwald I shit you not that is what its called. I don‘t know why.✨

Ok, ok, I know you meant the battle. yeah that‘s exactly what Ruthenians alongside Lithuanians fought the Teutons for in 1410. Sorry I‘m getting silly again

lmao me fr
