some kenobi valentines because i found the lack of them disturbing

Another friendly reminder

I just looked for some yoi fics in English (cause I’ve run out of russian fics lmao) and found a bunch of fics about Christmas, so I post this

Otabek and Yurio would definitely not celebrate Christmas together

Actually, Otabek wouldn’t at all as christianity is not really spread among people of Kazahstan (they’re more likely to be muslims, actually)

To speak about russian people, we can celebrate it, but it’s not on December, 25th (it’s on January, 7), also it is definitely not the most important holiday and it’s also very unpopular among teens so Yurio probably wouldn’t, too. Here in Russia we celebreate New Year as people in Europe/US celebrate Christmas, so if you wanted to write a Christmas fic or draw something, please, keep in mind that they surely could celebrate the New Year, but not Christmas. Also fireworks, presents, christmas tree and everything you associate with Christmas we apply to the New Year.

To add more we have some traditions and dishes that are the most important part of a celebration. For example, russian salad is called Olivie (like French “Oliver” and often tenderly called olivieshechka) and you won’t find a russian who doesn’t cook that for New Year. There’s also a terrible dish called holodets that consists of meat and jelly-like frozed boullion. Though not everybody likes it, the dish is sure to be on the table at celebrations. The arguments about it being a good or disgusting dish between family members are also always there. Children dislike it a lot, so I can imagine a picture where Lilia/Yakov/Viktor says it’s nice but Yura and probably Georgi and Mila would argue.

Also we have some films a russian can’t imagine New Year without, the most popular is Ирония судьбы или с легким паром (the Irony of the Fate, I suppose…) and I bet my ass every adult watch this every damn year. Viktor definitely would. Children don’t watch it that much, but teens surely can.

I know it’s a bit late to post this a month later Christmas but here we go

You can also always ask me something about russian culture or language or anything you need :)

It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.

pokatris

I didn’t. And a lot of other women didn’t. So please stop generalising and deciding that just because you and women around you have been treated horribly by life and society means that the rest of the world’s women have been too. Don’t speak for all of us!

((I’m sorry but this kind of thing has to stop.

make stereotypes like “black people only eat watermelon and chicken” and you get attacked for being racist.

make stereotypes like “White girls take pictures of their coffee and stick it on instagram” and you get a 5000+ note text post.

“Gay people disgust me” = attacked by everyone on tumblr as a homophobic fuckhead.

“Straight people disgust me” = “omg lol so funny” 5 billion notes

If this said “black teenage girls” or “gay teenage girls” or ANYTHING like that everyone would be up in arms.

I appreciate that “white people” enslaved millions and were generally shit to what they consider to be minorities. I understand that. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to be racist/sexist/phobic in the other direction.

Racism is wrong

Sexism is wrong

Stereotypes and hatred based on sexuality or gender orientation is wrong.

And here’s the thing nobody seems to get; It’s wrong in both directions.

Equality is about everyone being equal while accepting that we have cultural or physical or any other kind of differences. It’s not about preaching hatred for another kind of person - I believe that’s the kind of thing we’re meant to be fighting against.

This has been a rant from someone who’s sick of the whole white girls thing. It wouldn’t be funny if it was anyone else, it’s not fucking funny when it’s them.))

She wasn’t murdered for being gay. The only people singled out for extermination during the Holocaust were Jews and Roma. She was murdered for being Jewish.

Every time I see someone, and it’s always goyim, talking about Anne Frank’s possible sexual identity, there’s always SOMEONE who has to act like the treatment of LGBT people during the Holocaust is in some way relevant to the death of Anne Frank. It’s not. It’s creepy to discuss the sexuality of a dead teenager. It’s infuriating to continue talking over Jewish people like this. It’s not ok.

She deals with a disease that no one can see. A butterfly shaped gland ruined her life with the help of the pearls on her ovaries. When she found out, her knees went weak, the weather outside seemed so bleak. The stories she read of all the pain others endured insured a lifetime full of time spent indoors doubled over in physical and mental pain thanks to the chemicals inside her body and brain. Her hormones going crazy but not because of her age. She was sick and full of rage, not at God but at herself for all the inconvenience she caused everyone else. The probability of her bearing children is low. And because of that her self-loath began to grow. In her mind she doesn’t amount to anything. She is doubtful she will receive a wedding ring. But as she reads her bible and reads the scripture, she is reminded that she is a beautiful creature created by God without any flaw. She learns not to overdraw her illness and began to accept her tragic flaw.

Jealous of the beautiful building that was built before your ancestors either founded America or moved to it? And that’s not the Red Square. It’s St. Basil’s Cathedral. 😂😂😂😂

Domesticated sheep need to be sheared because they don’t shed their coats on their own and it can be bad for their health if it gets too big.

Also, it looks considering how close they cut that it went fairly well. I see like 2 nicks maybe, but with the photo it’s hard to tell. I mean, unfortunately, you’re going to nick a few animals because they don’t understand the order of “stand still” very well.

Sheep can die from heat exhaustion if they aren’t sheared.

Also, their skin secretes lanolin, which quickly soothes and heals any nicks they get during shearing.

Liudmyla Mykhailivna Pavlychenko (Ukrainian: Людмила Михайлівна Павличенко ) Born in Bila Tserkva on July 12, 1916, Pavlichenko moved to Kiev with her family at the age of fourteen. There she joined a DOSAAF shooting club and developed into an amateur sharpshooter, while working as a grinder at the Kiev Arsenal factory. In 1937, as a student of Kiev University she completed a masters degree in history, focusing on the life of Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

Her time with Eleanor Roosevelt clearly emboldened her, and by the time they reached Chicago on their way to the West Coast, Pavlichenko had been able to brush aside the “silly questions” from the women press correspondents about “nail polish and do I curl my hair.” By Chicago, she stood before large crowds, chiding the men to support the second front. “Gentlemen,” she said, “I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascist occupants by now. Don’t you think, gentlemen, that you have been hiding behind my back for too long?” Her words settled on the crowd, then caused a surging roar of support.
