To Say At Least, Complicated…

I am procrastinating on finishing a fic so I drew the crew instead

a new rareship dropped/j

i need a fic where they go to therapy together

now, numbers explained⬇️

! This is hugely simplified and by no means am I saying the situation was the same or anything; no it wasn‘t, but it‘s interesting to see the paralelles !

1 - referring to years of English/British rule over Ireland and Russian rule over Ukraine.

2 - in both cases native language/culture was heavily disadvantaged in favour of the coloniser’s language/culture. What a surprise.

3 - he’s talking about the Great Famine of 1845-51, exacerbated by Britain’s lack of reaction and continued exports of provision from Ireland. Popular attitude being that „God has sent famine to punish the Irish”.

4 - she’s talking about 1933 Holodomor famine, a man-made famine where the soviet version of the Russian empire deliberately took grain and other stuff from peasants forcibly as a part of „state grain requisition“ and also forbid emigration so peasants were trapped to starve. Duh.

5 - Irish rebellions against the British rule, notably in 1798, 1803, 1820s O’Connel movement, 1848, 1867 etccc

6 - Ukrainian rebellions under Russian rule, for example Mazepa in early 1700s, Koliivschyna 1768, Haydamaky early 1800s etc

7 - the first Universal of the Ukrainian Central Council in 1917 proclaimed autonomy, not a full separation from Russia.

8 - similarly, Ireland aimed to get home rule first, which also kinda means staying within the empire but having their own parliament. But the developments pushes both nations to a fight for independence eventually.

9 - Thus we get Irish war of independence 1919-21 and Ukrainian liberational struggle 1917-22.

10 - Ireland ended up in a civil war following the signing of the Anglo-Irish treaty in 1922-23; In Ukraine…ugh, it was a mess, but to cut the long story short, there was UPR in bitter rivalry with the Hetmanate, there were communists, anarchists, the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic with different struggles from the rest of the Ukrainian People’s republic, there were local leaders…yes. I mean. Mad shit.

11. Unlike Ukraine, that got de-facto occupied by USSR, Ireland, except for 6 counties, became almost independent following the 1920s struggles.

12. „Almost” because it emerged as a British dominion, a free state rather than the republic; all the way until 1949. And the tensions over those six counties imploded again in 1970s.

13. And Ukraine is still. Fighting for her life against Russia as I’m typing this. Friendly reminder.

I could go on for ages about this; the economic impact, the nature of independence movements – but I’ll spare you for now. Ukrainians, have a meme I made in 2023

@floralcrematorium HAPPEAH VALENTINE‘S DAY, HERE‘S UR FRUK SERVED🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️😗

I wanted to just draw something ahh couple loves kisses romantic with them, but after all what can be more romantic than this? Exactly. I‘ve never drawn men in dresses in my life before but here we are

My part of the @hetablr-valentines-exchange THAT WAS FUN

Murderer: I want to keep murdering. I killed this person's entire family, and if I stop, it's only to catch my breath before killing some more. The victim (bleeding, fighting for their life, surrounded by the dead bodies of their loved ones): I want to live. I want to survive. Trump: I am in the middle, I’m for both the murderer and the victim. Also, I'm giving the victim this amazing, great, huge, really good opportunity to sign me off all of their possessions, completely voluntarily, in exchange for me not helping the murderer (probably)

sorry I took so long to get to this, it's because I kept debating with myself because there are so many good options and the Prussian Space Marine Liberal Economic Timebomb is right up there but I think I have to give it to the 1830s esoteric Königsberg sex cult
