Happy Birthday to these two,

God didn't think One deplorable bastard was enough so he made another one a year later.

Everyone is talking about Nikolai partying with Price or 141, but hear me out on Nikolai hanging out with Yuri and Yegor. While each of them chose a different career path - they all are products of one and the same epoch. They don’t share just the language - they share culturally references that are almost impossible to explain. How do you make Price or Ghost understand that the most sinister form, your girlfriend can take doesn’t start with “where were you last night?” or “that girl stares at you for the whole evening”. Oh no. It starts with the “ya ne dogovorila” (I’m not done talking).

Hundreds of subtle inner jokes, cold facades left behind the closed doors of Niks office, laughter bursts killing the calm nightly ambience of the Chimera base, curate smoke coiling over Niks table. They know each other. Share the secret code, they sometimes forget about around others. Half a sentence is enough to understand where does your friends story go. Half a smile, the most subtle blink, change of posture is enough for them to have a full talk.

Hello, I wanted to ask if you have any head cannons on Yegor? Or how he interacts with other characters?

Hm, that’s a hard question because I do not really have many hcs for him. But I will try.

Whenever I wrote him, I thought of him as a little bit sleazy? Like… he is just not that nice to be around, especially as a woman or (in Nikodim’s case) a trans man. He will make jokes about it and they might very well be obscene, targeting a person’s private parts.

He has close to no relationship with Nikto, who doesn’t care for him much but he has a complicated one with Krueger. Krueger buys drugs from him regularly, let that be cigarettes or something harder, but he takes care of that for both him and Nikto. So they have SOME sort of positive connection there. Especially because Krueger is not a politically correct person himself. (Read: he is a disgusting asshole) So they will have jokes to exchange. I believe that this changes drastically once Krueger is involved with Nikto and later Nikodim. If you have read Carpathian Forest, you know that I hc Krueger to function as some sort of attack dog/defence for both men so he won’t laugh about any of their personal struggles anymore. As an extension, he will not make jokes about trans men any longer and Yegor gets made VERY aware of the fact that Krueger will not tolerate him doing it either.

As long as they do not talk about this topic, they get along kind of well. There is still some animosity though because Yegor will have some things to say about Krueger’s homosexuality and him being a “bitch” and toning his political views down. And like the sleazy guy he is, he is too chicken to really confront it, so all of his remarks stay in a passive-aggressive territory. It doesn’t make for good talks, so they keep their dealings brief. Yegor knows that it’s stupid to start a fight with Krueger because Krueger is simply the bigger asshole in the room and he knows that this man has the bite to back up his bark.

So… for me, he functions as a kind of mild villain. Homo-/transphobic in language but not the balls to back any of it up, which makes him pretty harmless. Especially because he is a minority in the team!

Thank you so much for your ask, I enjoyed it thoroughly! Never thought about him that much and it was nice putting it into words! He is not a popular charcter, so how come you are interested in him? (Sorry I am like, super curious!)

Hi, sorry, I'm the guy who sent in the Yegor request? I was just looking through characters when I noticed that... Haircut of his. You know the one, and I just thought that was super industrial of him? And it threw me into a rabbit hole. Thank you so much for answering my previous ask!

Hi, my friend. So… he has a weird haircut? Do you mean the onewhere vaguely looks like a na-… Oh. OH. OHOHOHOHO

WHAT IS THIS?! AAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA :D I can understand why this threw you down a rabbit hole. I thought Nikto took to dating the ugliest dude in the team but NOPE. He actually dates a super pretty one in comparison to this skin. Mad respect, Nikto. You pulled a good one.

Also: not to sleep on the tattoed eyes which have his nipples as pupils or the same skull that Ghost has tattooed, so: have a look at this:

He looks like a dude who is on crack 24/7 and the glasses make me think that he is a 70s serial killer (this is wonderful, thank you for bringing this to my attention. This dude needs more eyes (HAHAHAHHAHAHA) on him!)
