Do Y'all Ever Think Of What Alfred And Ivan's Reactions Were To Van Cliburn's Piano Concerto In Russia

indchu really was rusame before rusame was rusame

где мои раны?

look at this BEAUTIFUL portrait of cowboy America, created by amazing artist (and parent to the greatest Mexico OC) @dahliamorena for an art trade we did!

🤪

de-bimbofication meme ft girl rusame???? is the first thing I've drawn in months??? pls do with it what you will

Your art is awesome 💖💖 why do you like rusame?

thank you so much omgomg! 🥺 as for that question-- to keep it short and sweet cause my post would be 100K words long w/ mla citation, the simplified reasons are:

their shared diplomatic history before the 1900s

their juxtapositions that complement each other so nicely

equal-footing being they're prominent nations

cojen pero bien duro y apasionado JAJAJAJA

after not seeing much of each other (or the best of each other) in the 50s-60s, I'd like to think that alfred and ivan enjoy exploring musical media of that era together in modern day. for example, alfred loves to show ivan how to dance the twist and ivan will share his x-ray record collection of contraband music with him.

ivan won't let him know that he's been to a maya kristalinskaya concert or two and he's already learned the dance. alfred won't let him know that he owns multiple muslim magomayev lps and once snuck past the iron curtain to hear vladimir troshin live.

i hate when americans get asked about the israeli/palestinian conflict and they say “well it’s not really my place to have an opinion” our country literally funds genocide against the palestinian people in the name of “defense” it absolutely is our business, we should be as mad as we can as loudly as possible. 

little ivan as onfim. was he onfim? we may never know…..

Hear me out, all nations have beautiful and enchanting voices

But only when they are singing their own peoples folk songs

work in progress peek!! 🪶🧡
