Natasha Rostova - Blog Posts

if anyone has a good quality boot of the great comet, preferably with josh groban and denee benton, i would be forever in your debt! i’ve been looking for one but i don’t have many to trade and everyone’s asking for trades 😭 i can offer emma stone cabaret and oklahoma 2019 and alice by heart! thank you so much :3

Thanks for the suggestion @thedragonemperess, that was very kind of you :)

I hope you meant the planet from the MCU? I just had my fun with it, I couldn’t bring it over my heart to draw something angsty.

Jed: D´ you know why we are here?

Tavius: I have no idea my dearest, aske @thedragonemperess.

Staring into the distance

Tavius: I have to say the colours are very beautiful.

Jed: A little bit to dark and depressing for my taste.

Staring into the distance

Jed: I think I saw a person jumping from that big rock over there.

Tavius: Memento homo, quia es ex pulvere et in pulverem reverteris.

Some quick donmar Natasha (and Anatole) sketches

Two Natasha doodles I did a while back that I still love

Leyendecker study ft. The sillies

i’ve seen ppl criticize both kitty and natasha for being tolstoy’s overly stereotypical girl characters and while i hate tolstoy and think he was a misogynist, those girls are also just like me… so. maybe he was onto something there.

I LOVE U NATASHA ROSTOVA!

Natasha and Pierre throughout several adaptations of War and Peace

[BBC War and Peace (Harper, 2016), War and Peace (Bondarchuk, 1965-1967), War and Peace (Prokofiev), BBC War and Peace (Conroy, 1972), War and Peace (Vidor, 1956), War and Peace (Dornhelm, 2007), Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (Malloy)]

no one understands natasha rostova autism. it’s so hard being pretty and also intensely unsettling.

say what you will about bbc war and peace but this shared look between natasha and nikolai is everything to me

rip natasha rostova you would’ve loved capcut templates so much

most of war and peace is just men creating issues for themselves while women suffer the worst horrors imaginable.

tolstoy: after natasha and pierre got married everyone was pretty miserable for a long time and people died and stuff and it was really awful

me: aww they got married 😊 cute

there’s a lot of blatant misogyny in the epilogue, but then there’s also subtle things like natasha’s new dynamics with her family. she interacts with few people outside of the household at all anymore, but she’s really only friends with marya (seemingly because they’re both mothers), her friendship with nikolai has almost completely deteriorated (as if they can’t relate on any level anymore), and we barely see her interact with sonya. it’s unsettling to me to say the least.

muppets war and peace where the only human is andrei

has anyone else noticed that while in the pit pierre watches natasha much more consistently than any other character who passes him? i might be seeing nothing but i really wonder if that’s on purpose.

pierre is an interesting character ofc but sometimes he’s mentioned on his own and i’m like that’s nice… where’s natasha though…

"If he came across some worldly abomination he would say to himself, 'So-and-so's robbing the state and the Tsar while the state and the Tsar weigh him down with honours, is he? Well, let him get on with it - she smiled at me yesterday, she asked me round, and I love her, and nobody will ever know.'"

War and Peace, Tolstoy

no one else mirroring epilogue means everything to me so pls enjoy this edit i made a couple months ago (featuring a healthy amount of disrespect to andrei)

i will never stop thinking about the similarities between no one else and epilogue

so many straight people love natasha and andrei together... i dont understand you!!!

at this point i fear nothing will revive the pierre and natasha shippers. where have they all gone? i literally never see anyone talk about them anywhere. an occasional tiktok at best.

really obsessed with this gif cuz she looks like she’s about to eat pierre

@miraclesabound so, uh. blame op for this. it wouldn't leave me alone until i did it.

my most unpopular take on war and peace is that i dislike andrei. it’s not that i don’t understand him, he’s definitely an interesting character, but i’ve never been able to get over how he treated lise.

natasha rostova is autistic btw
