It's been 84 years

Ooc: Heyyyy everyone I am back after around 3 years! A lot of things have happened in life but I am now currently recovering my main Egor account, ask-philosphical-egor and planning on opening up asks again! Until that's recovered, I will be active here. Who is still active in the Durarara community?

#I just really missed this community tbh #ahhh I hope some people are still here

Is it better to beg forgiveness or ask permission?

Huh.. I would say you should apply Miller’s Law to such a question as this. It states that in order to understand what another person is saying, you must assume that it is true and try to imagine what it could be true of. Otherwise… Instead of creating an event that requires you to ask for forgiveness, perhaps one should think of the consequences of their actions before such a dealing occurs. By asking for permission, you annihilate many of the repercussions that would therefore put you in a situation to ask for forgiveness.

The Russians and homosexuality

I feel like I’m going to be attacked because of this, but I also feel it needs to be said.

In Russia, homosexuality is heavily frowned upon. To a point that two people of the same sex may get attacked for simply holding hands, not to mention anything that may further imply a relationship. Slavic countries are extremely homophobic. 

In order to maintain consistency with real life, the Russians in Durarara would not take kindly to any form of homosexuality. As far as I’m aware it’s not accepted that widely in Japan as it would seem either, but in Russia it is far, far worse. Homosexuals are killed in Russia purely because of their orientation. 

I am in no way trying to attack anyone. I am simply staying consistent with real life - I have a huge preference for realistic details in my portrayal of characters, as well as others’ portrayals. 

Therefore, Slon as an example, is homophobic. It’s what he was brought up with. He is from a country where homosexuality is deemed “wrong”. Where it is socially accepted to beat up someone who shows homosexual tendencies. His views are not my views, but I choose to include this detail as yet another step to make him more “believable” as a character. I also automatically assume the other Russians will not approve of homosexual behaviour either, simply because of their upbringing. 

I believe that a few undesired traits are better than a perfect character who defies realism, or whose personality is altered purely because someone demands it be different.

Egor had taken the day for himself. Especially seeing as he was in need of a short recovery period after suffering a stab wound from a recent job he had taken. Given the man healed a bit faster than most individuals due to some rather shady events from his early life, he was not immune to the after effects. A book was placed back on the shelf and then another as he perused through the literature. He was in need of a new novel. A classic perhaps. Though his busy mind was interrupted as he looked down towards the young man. Not that Egor felt he was old himself.  His eyebrows lifted in a short moment of surprise from the sudden conversation. A soft chuckle resonated through his throat. “Ah, most people do look average in height in comparison to myself.” He gave a simple shrug as he placed a book into his other hand. “I suppose as any other child does, they grow up eventually.” Sometimes he wondered how he been as tall as he was though. His father was tall but certainly not to the standard that Egor was.

    The Android had been wandering around for quite awhile now. It was boring sitting around at home, and Izaya wouldn’t stop mumbling  to himself about his work. Unwilling to idly sit around waiting for some entertainment, Psyche had taken off to explore the town and boost his understanding of the strange world he was currently occupying.     As he steps into a small shop carrying mostly useless knickknacks, the Android spots a person who stood out among the others. He was tall, so tall. Psyche’s eyes widened a bit, obviously staring before smiling widely. He couldn’t help being curious. Approaching the man, the male spreads his arms out in excitement.

    “How did you get so tall?! Wow! I look so tiny- when I stand next to you like this!”

What do you believe I am thinking right now?

Introducing Ghost operative: Egor

My project is finally done and it has taken forever! I never usually feel this way but I do feel a bit proud. It came out close to what I was expecting. While talking too @missvorona and @vodka-and-kalashnikovs, this concept came up. Slon Vorona and I were theorising. We came up with the idea that if a revolution began, that the assassins would eventually be dragged in and put into the Black Ops sector (or any ranking equivalent). Theory is that Slon would be a highly elite soldier, Vorona a valued sniper, and Egor would be a Ghost operative of sorts.

The gif took forever to make due to the amount of details and change but I am not feeling too bad about this. Hard work paid off. Thanks for the follows and support all of you!

Send "Sing me the song of your people" for the mun to sing a song they relate to their muse.

Alternately, send “sing me the song of our people” for the mun to sing a song they relate to your muse and their’s relationship!

Meanwhile, Egor scowls at the newspaper as he reads something ridiculous. Obviously in need of his morning cup of johan (coffee if you don’t get the reference). On the other hand, of course the gentleman has his volatile spine-chilling moments

Have some old Egor doodles. I don’t know if I posted this on my other blog before or not but I am just going to post them here.  Remember, I have my ask blog too if you want to put in an ask! Although currently slowed down with uni and my wrist injury. @ask-philosophical-egor

egor is perfect

Ahaha putting aside the fact that he purposefully pursues jobs to annihilate people. Eh, I guess that really isn’t the only thing he does though.  I mean hey, it canonically states that as a side job, he is a gem processor. So if anybody needs a diamond for a ring hahaha

If you did settle down with a family, what kind of family would you like to have? A wife that cooks and cleans and doesn't work, or something more 'modern'?

Ahaha, truly I do not have an idolised example of a perfect woman. Though there are qualities that I am fond of.

If I were to fall for her, then I would indulge in her quirks. Having someone is taking the good and the bad. If anything, I wish for someone who can accept my past dealings. She does not need to approve. Oh no. I am sure that most people would not. If she wants to be a stay at home wife, that is her choice. If she wants to go out and see the world while running her own company in downtown Moscow, that is her choice. I would support who she is without a second thought. In a sea of people, my eyes would search only for her.I am a bit traditional in that I do like the idea of a nuclear family. So… mm… perhaps 1 to 3 kids?

"Oahh -- you look like a guy that a person can trust! If someone gave you a baby to hold you wouldn't run off with it, right? Eh? Would you mind holding this?" she asked, proceeding to lift a blue-blanket-wrapped bundle up for him to take.

Egor shook his head and took the child slowly, his eyes widened ever so slightly in curiosity. It was an interesting view really. The child was fragile and small in his arms and he was so... well, tall to say the least. “I do not mind. If you require it, I shall aid you in watching over your little one. Uh, Miss,” he was sure he had seen her before but could not place his finger on where, “may I be so bold as to ask why you need me to watch over your baby?” His fingers gently pushed back the blanket from the face, touching the soft skin of the child.“...”

Do you find that you are unique in your line of work? For example, you dream of having a family one day whereas I think people with your skill set are either disinterested or don't believe they are cut out for it.

A good point to make. 

Oddly enough, or maybe not so, but quite a few people in my line of work manage to maintain a family relation. I am not ashamed to admit that although my career is practiced in more legitimate circumstances such as in militaristic matters, I am on the other side of the tracks. Ah, I guess what I am getting at is it really depends on the individual. Definitely some of us soldiers of fortune do not hold such an interest. With how my circumstances are, and my own outlook at this given time, I cannot afford to indulge in such a comfort. Although if I were in a decent standing (and didn’t have anyone on my tail) then perhaps I would give it a thought.

I have a question too!!! Are you still a virgin, Egor? Asking for a friend--

I beg your pardon? Ah somehow I am not surprised that you should ask such an inquiry... well, I tend to keep my copulating activity a private matter. I have had past dealings with women though, yes.

What is your greatest strength or weakness?

Come now, Vorona. That information is strictly covert. I am not at liberty to give such vital information to someone else so freely.

Nice try, miss.

 If you could have anyone locked in a room so that you could torment them for a day, whom would you choose ad how would you torment them?

Well I do have a rather large scar on my backside from a torture session from an opposing weapon’s dealing company. I would have no qualms on dealing the man who scarred my flesh some damage on his person.I would put a bag over his head, allow centipedes or scorpions to crawl on his body, and douse that son of a bitch in water repeatedly while depriving him of sleep. All while playing some Ink Spots music and drinking my coffee.

As am I, miss. For a more adult request from your person.

I am getting just this slight hunch that you are helping to inspire the young miss to ask me these inquiries that she has been in the last few hours.
