Your art has got me reading the young doctor’s notebook this book rules what the fuck thank you!!

Ahaha, yes, yesss, the Bulgakov propaganda is working! :D I'm glad you enjoyed the book, it's been among my favorites ever since I've read it the first time as well :)

#ask #crumblestew #I'm slowly chewing through more Bulgakov's short stories #I enjoy his writing style #and A Young Doctor's Notebook/Morphine just happens to be very Pathologic compatible ahaha

The last things of Bachelor Dankovsky

A collection of miserable Danya from the Bulgakov/Morphine AU

Yeah, Freud nonsense spewing Telman may be fun, but I still prefer the "old professor you hated the entire time you were at uni who continues to ruin your life even after you got your degree" Telman. And Dankovsky deserves to deck him after the destruction of Thanatica. As a consolation prize.

#pathologic #daniil dankovsky #pathologic bachelor #patho bulgakov AU #we all had that one professor who tested our self control didn't we #like you wake up in the morning and realize it's Tuesday and Tuesday is the day when the professor's lecture is on the schedule #and the violence starts bubbling in your veins #and Daniil is exhausted injured and the morphine withdrawal is kicking in #his inhibitions are non-existent #and here stands the man who made sure his work crashes and burns #deck that old man Dankovsky #and immediately move cities because your reputation in academia is in ashes together with your Thanatica

Thank you so much for the recs!!

One more question, would it be better to hold off until I can find the book and read it, or is it okay to just start off watching the show?

Honestly I don't think starting with the show will take away from reading the book afterwards.

Some things are different than in the book, of course. There are two doctor characters in the book both adaptations merge into one protagonist, and the second season of the TV show takes from other Bulgakov's writings more than the Young Doctor's Notebook/Morphine, but the framing of it remains, if that makes sense.

But otherwise, I think you're good to go! :D

#ask #jadeejtk #I I just rewatched the first episode myself and boy #it's so ridiculous I love it #<- knows well the depression that comes later #I think especially as a Patho fan you'll have a great time with the show :'D #for reasons #you'll see

hi there! i love ur art, especially your bulgakov aus. i really wanna read morphine and a young doctor’s notebook now to learn more. do you hv recs on how to get started? is it like a paperback i can get somewhere.. or download somewhere?

Hi hello! First of all, I'm so happy you like the Bulgakov/Morphine AU and I'm even more happy you want to read the book!! For recommendations you ask, my time has come *cracks fingers*

First, the book itself!

I've read the book physically and not in English, so I unfortunately cannot point you to an exact digital copy, but I'd definitely check for it in the library first! And yes, you're either going to be looking for A Young Doctor's Notebook or Morphine - depends on which name the publisher decided to go with, but either way the book will include several short stories (The Young Doctor's Notebook part) and Morphine (the longest story placed at the end). It's also possible to find it as a part of a bigger short stories collection by Bulgakov (like the 800 pages long behemoth I encountered in the local library), if you happen to stumble upon one in the wild :)

Now... the ~adaptations~

There are two adaptations of the book I know of and they differ significantly in tone and mood.

Morphine (2008) - a Russian film, available in full with English subtitles on YouTube. This is a heavier one, but worth a watch despite being 1 hour and 45 minutes of pure depression. The actor of the doctor did an incredible job.

A Young Doctor's Notebook (2012) - very short TV series, 2 seasons, 4 episodes per season, 25 minutes per episode. It's a dark comedy and it fits the mood of the book perfectly in my opinion. It's just enough comedy before it hits you with the pain and depression, only to become silly again. If you were picking between the two, I'd recommend this one.

Mind that both adaptations include plentiful blood, bones and innards, but that just comes with the job, haha.

That's all I can think of for now, hopefully this'll be helpful at least a bit on your Bulgakov adventures! :D

Medice, cura te ipsum - the beginning

A continuation of this piece

#pathologic #pathologic bachelor #daniil dankovsky #patho bulgakov AU #this is the pinnacle of my Unwellness #it wouldn't be done this week if I didn't catch the plague and had to stay home for a couple days :'D #I need to continue reading Bulgakov's diaries...

Bulgakov/Morphine AU, university times! I still haven't finished the game, I'm fine

#pathologic #daniil dankovsky #and bunch of med school classmates #patho bulgakov AU #I needed a break to create something or I'd lose my mind #I'm still losing my mind but at least my own mania meter is not maxed out constantly haha

Pathologic 3 is out and I'm once again majorly Unwell™ about the Bulgakov AU that has been rattling in my head since 2021. Based mostly on the Young Doctor's Notebook, Morphine, Notes on a Cuff (finally found the name of the book in English, hooray!), where due to an injury during his stay in the Town, Daniil develops a morphine addiction and leads conversations with Death, which follows him back to the Capital. Set after Artemy's good endings (mostly Patho 2 Diurnal), he has to start his life anew.

All of these are either straight up old drawings or polished sketches I've accumulated over the years this story has been haunting me. Including some new characters from the Capital since we've never got to see any of them before. Ivan and Tatiana - a doctor and a pharmacist and Daniil's former university classmates (and possibly future members of re-established Thanatica)

I'm not planning to change much with the new game lore, but will see how unwell the game itself will make me hahaha (I'm not very far in and straight up avoiding tags, I need to be completely blind for this experience or I'll explode)

Anyway! I'm fine :)

Incubation Party Ad Stella 121!

If George leaves Erik unattended for 3.6 seconds, he'll start punching people (he can't even have the punch)

#WfM fan AU #washing machine george adventures #OC George Davis #OC Erik Bielek #OC Marleen Keeton/N°3 #I accidentally drew the first one three pixels big :'D #Erik would not be caught DEAD on the party #but I like shenanigans #and opportunity to put everyone into suits/dress #will George and Erik dance too? who knows!#maybe after 5 mocktails

She beat El4n in the dorm room decorating contest :'D

Happy holidays! 🎇

Did I just print these two comics into home-made zines? Perhaps.

re-editing the Gundam fight comic for printable format was a nightmare, it ended up 20 pages (!!!) long (this is what I get for drawing every page different size)

flip by short edge (I ended up with a print where half the pages were upside down, whoops)

I heavily underestimated just how much of the page gets cropped while binding

color print expensive, color pencils we already have at home free :'D

I'll be adjusting the pages a bit and hopefully make two more copies with better results, we shall see!

#this is what the power of owning a paper trimmer and a long arm stapler does to a woman #the prints are just for me and a friend so they don't have to be tip top perfect #but I'd like them to be :'D #WfM fan AU

Same model, different personality - one more prone to deserting than the other.

More NieR Automata stuff. Pharact's GUND Bits would work nicely as a Pod combat feature I think!

Back to washing machine George adventures, with scenarios that definitely did (not) happen

At what point AU of an AU of an AU just makes a new OC? Screw it. Sir Jules.
