snufkin, the wanderer.

so just remember what your ol' pal said - boy, you've got a friend in me KSENIA ALEKSANDROVNA SOLO 30 years of age. daughter, friend, fighter, woman. the one who stands up for the silent ones, actress and director, your local superhero of reversing time and that crazy lady of Latvian and Russian descent. [ a roleplay blog, not a real Ksenia! ]

This isn’t normally my area of expertise, so I probably shouldn’t comment on it, but I’m on Twitter quite a lot, and I noticed this tweet going around saying that P.luto was being classified as a planet again— which I thought was great, you know? I always thought of it as being a planet, but you can never really believe anything that you see on the internet, so I did a little more research on it and it was a bit inconclusive. It’s still a dwarf planet, however, they’re also thinking about demoting it down to a giant comet. Can’t we leave it alone by now? How do you personally think of P.luto? Is it a planet, a dwarf planet, or a comet?

I know right? I’ve been reading about that and laughing. Seriously, after Pluto was kicked out of the Solar System... have you seen the pictures they were able to take of it? Pluto seriously had a glow-up and now out of a sudden we’re ready to call it a ‘planet’ again. Like, please, no, Pluto is all glowed-up now, it’s moved on, it is not interested in being in the ‘cool planets gang’ anymore, you know? But yeah, I always agreed on calling it a planet. Dwarf or not, it’s still a planet, you know? So why not call it the way it is... it might be silly, but that’s just my opinion.

rylriandawson:

Even thought I’m not doing any bribing? That’s good to know. Although I still sometimes think you might just like me because I know how to play the drums. Haha, kidding. It’s very, very easy to like you.

Listen, you playing drums might be one of the reasons why I like you... but then again, there’s about a hundred more, so it’s not that big of a deal, you know? I’m glad you think so. We can be happy and like each other then. I’m game if you’re game. 

[rylsolo]

mrsadkins:

That’s the one place I’ve not been.They are too happy for me. 

Yeah, I can see why that would happen. I actually loved visiting Finland. I was just a small kid and we went on a trip to Lapland, because I solemnly believed in the power of Christmas and all that. It was so much fun!

[rylsolo]

mrsadkins:

Yeah… there are some things I don’t agree with back home either so every country has their faults but it’s whatever. I love walking across Westminster Bridge during the winter after a snow fall. You have amazing things ‘round you for a romantic stroll with your partner or beautiful pictures. 

Yeah, that’s the thing. There’s always gonna be assholes in the world, no matter what country you’re searching you know? Probably except Finland, there’s, like, everything daisies and butterflies up in there.

[rylsolo]

mrsadkins:

As of late, yes it does. I just don’t think I’d be accepted there is the reason I don’t want to go. A lot of my views and standings, Russia doesn’t support nor accept my views on certain things. I would love to go, it’s such a beautiful place to go during the winter. 

Yeah... it can be a real shit-show sometimes; I mean, there are many things I disagree with, one hundred percent, but home is home, you know? Oh, winters are my favourite. You go for a walk down the red square in Moscow, with snow all the way up to your knees when you’re a kid, and everything makes sense -- it’s a weird feeling, but I love it.

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

I’m very glad to hear you say that.

I know you’re not that easy to bribe into anything. Not that I’ve tried doing that. But somehow I got you to like me, and I don’t know how I did it, but I’m very happy I did.

Oh, come on. Of course I like you. I’d be a complete fool not to. Plus, you make it very easy for me to like you, so there’s that.

You haven’t? You sure about that? Well, I’m very glad to hear that it’s been nothing but honesty here. I mean, it’s so much better that way. I’m very happy this happened, too. I got you to like me too, so... it’s a start.

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

‘Course I’m biased. I like you, you know? But I’m also just totally telling the truth.

It’s good to know all that bribing them into liking me has worked, ha!

Well, isn’t it funny? Because, believe me or not, as it happens, I really like you, too.

Oh, bribery will get you everywhere with them. I’m a little tougher of a cookie, but it’s still kind of fun, you know?

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

You know I don’t mind you getting all sappy and dropping your guard. I’ll still think you’re super cool. Actually, pretty sure you’re cooler than me anyway.

Of course I do. They’re very loveable dogs you got there. That’s a good thing, right? Because I feel like it’d really suck if they hated me instead.

Oh, shut up. You’re just saying that because you’re obviously awfully biased. Just admit that and we’re gonna be golden.

I know they are -- one of the reasons why I keep them for so long... Okay, I’m kidding, but still! Of course they love you. You’re the one that comes with all the treats for them and all.

Adam really is full of ideas, but I didn’t know you were his literal elf for the slide master. I can imagine. If I didn’t have two left hands… quite literally so, I’d’ve loved to help, too. I’m paying and I’d love to see your best jump. I might ask Zoe to film this, so we can judge for ourselves, too. 

I know. You wouldn’t think that, but hey, I like being an elf. Also, I’m glad we have established that you’re paying for the drinks already. It’s nice to see a man who can admit defeat when it comes to best jumps off a slide. You know, that sounds like a cool idea! Let’s do that-- and then we can both agree that I was incredible.

jerleerenner:

I think so? Did you have fun? We are and I’m happy about that. Last time I saw you it was during shooting your series, and since then, I’ve been busy. That’s a big deal. How’s the Grand Dame doing? You please come to dinner sometime, all right? Please. She’ll always be that, and she’s already been bugging me to find you for another adventure. Speaking of adventures, I’ve had an idea, and I might need your help with it.

I had so much fun! I’ve missed Royal greatly, but I definitely had some fun. Oh, please, don’t let my gran’ma know you still call her that -- the last time she met you, she kept bugging me with questions about you, even if I didn’t really know all of the answers. You might be her new favourite actor, you know that? I’d love to come for dinner. Rian and I will be leaving to finish his tour leg for his band next week, but I’m sure we can definitely arrange something before that. Oh, an idea? Now now, Mister Mysterious, tell me, what’s cooking in that mind of yours?

[rylsolo]

mrsadkins:

Never been to Russia, kinda don’t plan on it but I hear winters there are brutal.

Russia gets a bad rap, you know? It’s fuckin’ beautiful, even if everyone is ready to clean Putin’s litter box with their own hands. I mean, damn, I spent so much time there growing up, it’s insane.

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

You know I can’t blush or my coolness level will be even closer to zero. Don’t thank me, babe. I’m just happy when you are.

I know you don’t want to leave them, so we’ll just take them and everyone’s happy. I’m actually really excited for this now.

You’re still gonna be super cool, whether you’re blushing or not. You can’t be a drummer in a cool ass punk band and not be cool, you know? Also, shush you, you’re gonna get me all sappy and drop my guard or something. I should be just as cool as you to keep up, you know?

You’re a sweetheart. I’m glad you love them too, because they already got super attached to you, you know? I’m right there with you -- I’m super excited.

[rylsolo]

mrsadkins:

You’re welcome, love. I can agree there, jetlag is a bitch. I will never get used to the weather here; the humidity, I feel like I am going to suffocate when I walk out me door. Makes me want to spend my Summers in London and Winters here, ‘cause Winters back home are horrible. 

Yeah, jetlag can be a bitch... but I definitely agree about the weather. See, usually I’m fine with it. It’s the Southern weather that I signed up for when I bought a house here years ago. However, you don’t know winter unless you’re a Russian who lived in Canada their whole lives, darling.

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

You think? Well as long as you think that, I’m totally looking forward to seeing your surprise dream come true.

We’ll be in North America the whole tour, so there’s no flighty to  get on. They’ll be safe and sound on the tour bus the whole time.

Of course! No, cross that. I don’t think, I know it. You made more than one dream come true for me already, you know? Thank you.

Ah, then it definitely is so much easier. I think they could definitely handle a tour bus. I wouldn’t have to get separated from them for too long and they could come with me and see the world... or at least, see the country. I’m game!

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

Okay, I’d say following Arctic Monkeys on tour is a pretty damn cool thing to do and I don’t know if it compares to touring with All Time Low and hanging backstage. But, you’re totally able to say you’re sleeping in the drummer’s bunk on their tour bus, so that’s cool, right?

Oh they’ll be so very spoiled. I don’t want to talk you into bringing them, but just know it really wouldn’t be a problem. So you should totally bring them.

Hey, both of these things are just as cool, you know? They’re cool in their own ways, for sure. And hey... sleeping in All Time Low drummer’s bunk is a dream I probably never knew I had, you know? That is cool.

I think they deserved being spoiled. However, the one question I have is where is the tour taking place? Because if there’s any flights involved, I don’t think they could handle it, but if it’s just a tour bus, I’m sure they’ll be fine.

[rylsolo]

rylriandawson:

I’d love that too. A week definitely won’t be enough, but there’s more time after tour. And honestly, I’m just happy I get to take you with me on tour.

I’m 100 percent sure none of them would mind. Everyone who’s on tour with us loves dogs, so they’ll be all over yours.

Oh, it’s gonna be so awesome. Last time I followed a band on tour was back in twenty-ten, when I followed Arctic Monkeys, but even then it doesn’t compare, because now I’ll be able to casually infiltrate the backstage and stuff.

That’s so sweet. I love dogs so much, too, and dog lovers are my people. My boys will get super spoiled and I love it.
