"Speak of the wolf and the wolf is (coming) into the house" (Про вовка промовка а вовк і в хату) This is literally the "Speak of the devil" but with with a wolf. People don`t even use the second part about the house. They just say: "Speak of the wolf". Perhaps comes from long gone supestitions of not mentioning dangerous animals as if to not "manifest" them coming to you. Its literally the reason the original word for Bear is lost. People genuinely were afraid to call the dangerous beast by it`s name, replacing it will nicknames.

There is a saying in Ukrainian: "Tell an idiot to pray and he`s gonna smash his head" (Скажи дурню молитися і він голову розіб'є). Sometimes you can just say the firs half since everyone already know the second one. It comes. Context is It comes from the tradition of bowing/kneeling during prayer. And it can have two meanings:

No matter how easy, simple or straightforward the task is, a stupid person will still find a way to screw it up...somehow. Kinda like the phraze "You had ONE job, dude!"

No matter how healthy, constructive, well-intentioned, moral, wize, demure or logical the idea/cause/midset, an idiot will still find a way to either: a) completely misunderstand/distort it/miss the entire point....and screw it up, or b) go copletely overboard with no measure....and screw it up

This isn`t even related to anything specific in my life or on the internet, i just REALLY REALLY wanted to share some cool sayings/idioms from my language. Maybe language and folklore nerds will like it. Maybe writers and worldbuilders will get some cool inspiration for the way characters speak. Maybe i will just spread the good will of funny shit in my language and culture. I will post some more of these

Check this cute thing out

It was supposed to be a griffin at first but i forgot to draw the front legs lol 🐸

I actually found a weevil in my home once and was shocked how tiny they are. It was still like seeing a celebrity, i was like "OMG is this the bug, the myth, the legend? The snoots and boots insects i`ve been reading about and seeing photos of? In MY house? Visiting ME?" Took some photos and let the lil guy out

Bug of the day: WEEVIL!!!

This is a weevil appreciation post

What insects should I draw next?

This is my dabloonsona Fern. He is a travelling herbalist and loves plants. This is just a sketch but I'm already making a digital drawing. I will post it when it's ready and tell you some more about him.

I mostly post my drawings here but i really wanted to share this Honey Jar label i made for a college assignment a few years back. My teacher didnt really like it for some reason but im actually very happy with how it turned out + i really love all the bees and bumblebees so this was a blast to make ^^

I dont know how often i will be able to post but i`ll try to stay active

Honestly... here is a frog i found when rummaging through my krita files. Not only does he have a sword, but is also giving you thumbs up. I forgot i even drew him, and look...he`s not even bothered. He just chilling, saying "You got this bro!"

Behold! The one and only: WIZARD FROG or... FROG WIZARD or somethinh idk... Anyway, this fine lad is all finished and ready to do his wizarding!

Something like "Abandons" or "Fall-aparters" in Ukrainian. I don't know if there is a word for that in English but it comes from word "розвалюватись" - to fall apart/break down. Hope this helps :)

I did did some works for a colledge assignment project where i added ghosts to photos of abandoned places that my dad took, and now that it`s complete, i want to share some of it

Why would a country that was just attacked 3 years ago (11 actually), be the one to give up having any military defence?🤔 Why SHOULD a country that was just attacked by an agressor (that is still in power), be the one to give up any military defence? To not be a threat? To not be a threat to who? An agressor? An abuser? An opressor? God forbid you have any ability to fight back or pose any threat to the attacker.

sO putin agreed to possible ceasfire... but the rules are that Ukraine can't: - do moblization - do training - receive weapons during that ceasfire... 🤔 Huh... So its "We are at peace... but you have to be in a MAX vulnerable and unpreperred position in case i (defintely dont) attack you again" "We are at peace... but i don`t trust you to have any ability or resource to defend yourself... It`s a danger to me (In a case where i attack you)"
