GUYS. simon petrikov is central asian and here’s why.
-petrikov is a RUSSIAN last name. a lot of central asia used to belong to the soviet union and their cultures began to combine because of it, resulting in a lot of central asians having russian last names.
-that man clearly does NOT look slavic
-he’s very clearly not white!! he has an olive tone which is VERY common in central asians!
-i’m central asian and i say so

I will never not love how literal animal names are in my people's language.
Toad / Jirbaqa - jir (dirt) + baqá (frog). Dirtfrog
Turtle / Taşbaqa - taş (rock) + baqá (frog). Rockfrog
Ptarmigan / Qөrtlek - qөrt (snow pile). Snow pile thingie.
Pigeon / Qügәrçen - qügәr (to mold, to rust, to go dirty). Dirty boy 😭
Parrot / Tutı Qoş - totu (hold, catch) + qoş (bird). Held birb!
I love this language. It's so perfectly logical. It's also so cool. I'm getting better with it every day, my personal blog is now 100% in my language and I write in it a lot more confidently. 😼 Ancestors would be proud

"Bridal costume from Muğla. Urban, 1925-1950. With goldwork embroidered silk ‘üçetek’ (robe with three panels) and önlük/peşkir (apron; ‘two-sided’ silk embroidery on linen). The round mirror on the hat is an amulet against the ‘evil eye’. Except for that monumental hat, this costume was also worn as a general festive dress."

When you’re a rogue, but also very Central Asian.
A ref of Aisultan’s clothing with a bit of Qazakh spice 🤧
I plan on including a separate page for his quiver, but also another section with his Halamshiral outfit.
