Богини: Птицарица и Лисичка C03P7
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
Dgirael is helping me put on images a story i wrote based on several folk lore stories.
Note: I normally write the name of the artist in the title, this is not possible this time because FA cuts it. I don't speak russian and i chose to write the title in russian... this was a big mistake. As now i can't change the title... but FA cuts the name of the artist. ARGH!
While normally i would write 3 parts of 5 chapters and 7 pages each save the first chapter of each part being 6 pages,
...i decided for this one to be a bit like a short version of my 2 big projects ("monsters" and "Tithe For The Moon Children") each of whom are more than 5 chapters, so this one will be 10 chapters, but a "single" part.
I want to be able to write more "parts" with Baba Ptitsa and Chanterelle.
But this... This is how Baba Ptitsa and Chanterelle became who they are.
Other than being the illustrator, the main characters have been first brought to "life" by Dgirael

I am not russian and i based this story off of some russian fairy tales, merging, and splicing until they felt right.
You are asking me to pass judgement via my characters to something i did not experience personally in a time period when it would have been relevant to experience it.
"Lenin was a Mushroom" was a """child""" of the Gorbachev administration.
It was good because it came at the right time and hit the right spots.
I honestly feel extremely embarrassed about even trying to start a discussion about something so "you had to be there" when i was not there.
I'm just some italian dude working with russian artists that knows abut stuff from an italian perspective since i was part of the communist party here in italy when Gorbachev made things happen in Russia.
I feel like Gorbachev did the right thing, if evidently by mistake and without realizing what he was doing, and Yeltsin actually knew what he was doing and continued Gorbachev's work in an "trying really hard" but ultimately flawed way. But.... yeah but then all that led to Putin. Soo... uh... yeah.
How can i (as an italian) try and express what are the feelings of a fictional character of mine as they "saw reality crumble"? Would they be happy that other people could see openly behind the veil that had """protected""" Russia until then, so that they could finally get help rebuilding what years of erosions had carved out? Would they be angry that a dream that could never have been was ultimately shattered?
As an outsider... the image of Russia that was at that time had always been an obvious façade made more and more evident when i went visiting it by the inability to go beyond those "tourist attractions" which were painfully fake.
The way i see it (once again, as an outsider) "Lenin was a mushroom" is the sum of all that teardown. The jovial product of people who saw all the imposed myths getting shattered. Part anarchic rage, part "it was some good dream but it was still a dream".
It is the child of an era that i never lived properly and therefore i can only get outside glimpses of. Therefore all i can say about it are outsider opinions. I will see if i can find some of the russian artists i work with to talk about it.

For anybody who curious, original comment was:
'I don't know where to put it honestly, but what's Lisichka/Chantrebelle opinion about 'Lenin was a mushroom' meme?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin_was_a_mushroom '
Oh, I didn't expect such serious answer on my comment ;w;
Sorry for making you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable - I didn't mean it.
I was counting on some kind of joke in return, but getting clear and weighted answer is even better. Thank you kindly.

joke answer provided by the artist that drew this art:
I think, Chanterelle could say something like "Of course, he was a mushroom! Like, I made him!.... Oops..." (with her magic and, well, I guess she was born earlier than Lenin)
(and not like she is a revolutionary and wished to kill all Romanovs lol, that's why this little experiment should be a secret)

For me it's like: "if a joke is popular it is because it hit hard at the right moment" and... welll... yeah.
The moment was what the moment was.
Jokes for me are something extremely serious because they are born out of pain and out of intense emotions.
They show you what is important or painful to the people who make those jokes.
Because it helps lessen how those people feel about it all.
"you bury the pain with a joke" we used to say.
And it helps because the moment you can finally joke about something it is like a weight that has been lifted: "Yes, i went through that, but it is finally in the past and i have moved forward".
What people are able to joke about tells you a lot about them.
Unfortunately experience has told me that a joke made to bury a pain and a joke made to discredit the existence of a pain look almost identical.
It is because jokes hit hard that you cannot distinguish why people are laughing and as the writer of the joke you hope they are laughing for the right reason.
