when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter
Just an ordinary day in Ukraine. You live on the very edge of being killed at any moment.
In case foreign people wonder how is it possible to keep living under attacks. Well, I remind you air defence systems work. But that doesn’t normalise the existence of course.
The tag is awesome, I apply it to everything I draw.
one of the formative memories from war for me was when i was having a work meeting and someone asked “hey Coffee, what’s that odd noise in your background? can you tune it off?” and my sleep deprived self cheery replied “sorry, this is shooting and detonation from an air raid, I can mute myself if it’s too noticeable, I’m almost done with this report”.
for me, it was so common it was… well. just there. only when the meeting fell into shocked silenceand then i received a couple of questions i realized that people just assumed “i’m from Ukraine” doesn’t actually mean “i’m in Ukraine still”
also yeah, creating something to keep oneself sane is very, very, very crucial nowadays…
also keeping on living is the best fuck you to ruzzians considering they want us all dead
