this made me realize I need to get off ao3 for a while because why the hell do I understand russian now

girl i knew i was in it deep when i was starting to be able to read russian cyrilic 😭 and not just pattern recognition for the nicknames and stuff but whole unfamiliar words and sentences like idk what they mean but i know how to sound them out 😭

there’s no saving us atp

that was my sign that maybe i have been spending TOO much time reading hollanov fics 😭

next level of russian nicknames: - булочка (bulochka) - little bun, like pastry - бусинка (businka) - little bead, like in pearl necklace - мася (masya) - baby, but shorter then malysh - медвежонок (medvezhonok) - teddy bear - звёздочка (zvozdochka) little star

thank you for your service 🤲🏻

thanks for sharing, malysh

LMAOO please 😭

😘

not me getting all of them too…. someone get us off ao3

we need some serious help

thanks for posting, lyubimyy

learning a new fucking language from fanfics, this should most definitely be in all our resumes

@toddesque I realised how bad it was when I used google translate and was confused why it only translated half the sentence, turns out it didn’t translate any of it I was just able to read Russian and didn’t even process it

AO3 coupled with my best friend and I having over a 100+ day Russian streak on Duolingo because we are determined to not need subtitles for season 2

thanks for sharing that with us, myshonok.

зайчик is rare tho зая is the go to

when you guess what an unfamiliar word is and it ends up being correct

thank you moya devochka

me waiting for her to say solnyshko bc it is also my personal favorite 🥹 Ilya in Wolfbird you will always be famous to me

Yeah, моя душа, I am learning Russian for 58 days now via Duolingo 😅 Half the shit in fanfictions I don't have to translate anymore to get the gist of it 🤣

@hudconale concerned for myself. genuinely.

@cindybaeklvr bestie i fear i downloaded duo and started learning russian for this goddamn show, i’m on level 13

i was always confused at sun

The fact I know all that because of Ilya Rozanov should be concerning

I want to learn Russian language 😭❤️❤️❤️.
