Me watching this specific piece of interview:
I don't think you should be sitting on the pool table, Andryusha -
Don't you dare be a slut and lean back and support yourself with one hand on the table, I know you're thinking about it -
Andryukha!
(He played pool one night with Daddy A. Daddy A railed him on the table afterward because he couldn't handle how slutty Sheva was being. Sorry I don't make the rules)
still on vacation, thinking about Daddy A getting the opportunity to fuck a guy in the 1990s (he knows Someone who can "sort him out" with anyone and anything, who supplies all his oligarch friends with Women and Men and Other "Things" for their pleasure), and the guy is instructed to behave the way that Daddy A would eventually dream of Sheva being.... So shy, so innocent, "never done this before".
(obviously it's all a lie. Daddy A assumes it's a lie with Sheva as well)
Daddy A fic sneak-peek under cut (don't worry, it's sfw, it's hidden just because it's Daddy A after all)
When campainging for the post of the Chukotka governor, people at the meetings asked him various questions. You seem too young for the post, are you married? That was one of their big concerns, for some reason, as if being married was synonymous with being a good person. But he smiled and nodded and responded nontheless, yes, he is. He didn't mention it was his second marriage. For all he cared, it wasn't really important - but when the question resurfaced at every meeting with the public, he decided to uncover a little bit of his private life and invited a reporter to his home - the official, presentable one, simply furnished clean appartment that could belong to anyone, and he had Irina prepare some pancakes and salads and cold cuts and pose in front of the set table. She wasn't the best of cooks, but it mattered little when the focus of the article were the homely comforts of the simple lifestyle of the Abramoviches. Other questions were not so easy to answer. Roman Arkadyevich, we haven't been paid in a week. How will you solve that? I go to the shop every day, and every day, the potatoes are mouldy. Or they don't have potatoes at all. How are we supposed to live and work when we can't even buy potatoes? And the prices... What is the use of food stamps when you can't even rely on the deliveries? My mother needs to undergo an operation, but we don't have a car. There are no buses. No one is going to give her a ride to Anadyr. Not with the prices of the gas - He learned to listen. Tilt his head, give the auditorium an understanding smile, of course, of course, he cares deeply about their issues, he understands, he knows what it's like to live at what feels like the end of the world, where minutes drag on like years, he himself grew up far away from Moscow, in the north, in the Komi republic - he cautiously doesn't name the city that was ten times as populous as Andyr, just to keep up the charade - and he knows how it feels to be lonely and small.
Where Daddy A's ability to listen to tiring shit (Sheva) comes from
If I could draw, I would just draw Sheva climbing up to sit on the statue Lobanovskyi's lap, simple as
If I wrote a fic all about Daddy A pushing a billiard ball into Sheva's hole while playing pool, would you think less of me?
(joke's on you I already started writing)
I'm sure he did 😏
The man who sold the world is a Roman Abramovich song and I won't (can't) elaborate on that
Listening to Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet... musical again, and apart from Sheva being a literal Natasha , I just imagine Abramovich (and his associates) having his or their own Balaga, the famous troika driver.
More than once From Tula to Moscow And back in just one night! More than once A narrow escape From a wild Cossack fight! More than once They've beaten me And slapped me with their gloves! More than once Made me drunk on champagne, Which I love!
...
Who's that slowpoke We abuse with wild and tipsy shouts? Who knows things That would get you sent straight to Siberia If anyone found out? It's Balaga!
...
More than once Driven you round with ladies on your laps! More than once Taken you places not on any maps!
... Also, as I said, Sheva is a literal Natasha. At the beginning, she is "young and loves Andrey with all her heart" (sorry, the Andrey/Andriy distinction might be confusing lmao), although Andrey is not here. Then, wild Kuragin appears at the Opera, and Natasha is mesmerized. I turn around again and our eyes meet. He gazes straight into my eyes. He is talking about me. (literally what happened in Milan). Every time I look at him he's looking at me.
And as I am leaving flush and nervous He touches my arm and I turn around And he is looking at me with his glittering eyes and his tender smile Oh God I am lost How could I let him?
Obviously, once Kuragin (Roman) starts writing letters to Natasha (Andriy) she(he) is completely lost. And maybe there was a bit of a Sonya & Natasha styled confrontation.
I had heard that it happens like this And you must have heard it too But it's only now That I feel such love It's not the same as before He's my master And I am his slave What can I do, Sonya, what can I do? I'm so happy And so frightened Why can't you understand? I love him!
Straight out of Shevaverse. Also.
Does he love you? - Does he love me? Why, you've read his letter, You've seen him I can't live without him
Also, Maldini does come across as a Bolkonsky type. Lmao. Anyway, have a good Good Friday.
