We actually started learning russian and using google translate a lot because the russian side of the patho fandom is very chill and cool.
This was actually *not* the Stamatins, though it could have been– they’re a very popular pairing with anyone who’s not an anti. (We like them too.)
It was Nina and Aglaya.
We got kicked out of a pathologic discord for sharing art of two sibling characters that somebody decided “looked shippy” and whipped up a witch hunt.
So , I feel you anon.
It sucks when intolerant people make spaces narrower and narrower.
I hope you can find a fandom community that makes you feel good and lifts you up instead of being so petty.
I am awful at social stuff too. No worry there. <3 I love talking about this kind of stuff with friends.
As for how I met Daniil…
Prepare for me to wax poetic, @neon-lights-stardust-nights , something about Pathologic bring it out, I think.
I was a witch, and a princess locked away in a high tower, and Daniil was the champion knight I had ensorceled to come to my rescue.
I dreamed of him, in the darkness where I dwelt, and I watched him come to my poisoned town, to heal it.
I loved him from afar, and I spoke to him in whispers.
Come to me, come to me, my darling, and we will vanquish death together. You are my champion, and my faith, and my power are yours.
heh.
The blunt answer is that Daniil is a kin F/O. I am Nina Kaina. Witch. Giant. Dead woman.
And Dansha is the man that I dreamed in that sleep of death.
