SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937)
dir. david hand
Sharikov's next bride, but only she knows that her fiance was a dog in the past.
This girl is the heroine of another Soviet satirical book "12 Chairs" by Ilf and Petrov.
Her name is Ellochka "The Cannibal" Shchukina. She is the main fashionista in Moscow and ✨️a slay girl✨️.
There are many film adaptations based on this book, but I took the 1971 version as a basis. She is especially beautiful in it and looks like a red-haired Betty Boop.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot.
Professor Preobrazhensky is played here by ‼️Max von Sydow‼️
Not Vincent Price, of course, but nevertheless...
Poster for the 1976 Italian film "Heart of a Dog" ("Cuore di Cane").
Yes, there was another film adaptation of this Bulgakov novella. In the German box office, the film is called "Why is Mr. Bobikov barking?" ("Warum bellt Herr Bobikov?")
OOOOHHH!! The new game from MazM looks great🤯

You're welcome! The story is small, something like "A Strange Case..." about 100 pages. I recommend reading the translation by Arvil Pyman. (the meaning of jokes and puns is successfully preserved there)
There is also a Soviet film adaptation of the same name in 1988. (The film is available on YouTube with English subtitles) There is a well-chosen cast of actors.
And I'm drawing the image of Sharikov from this movie, hehe.

Don’t think about anything, I’m just declaring this day the day of asking questions for mutual followers. How did you come to your current nickname "BedBabayka"? Was your choice influenced by inspiration from some images, persons, your own interests, or?
OH! That's a great question, thanks!🖤
I've actually been thinking for a long time about how to call myself short and memorable. But there was always one important criterion - an ambiguous name.
Initially, I wanted to call myself Meta Murphy (an allusion to Metamorphosis). But then, in 2021, when I fell in love with the novella "Heart of a Dog" and the Soviet setting all over again, I decided that I would start with Russian-language sites like VK.
And after some thought, I chose the name Бабайка Кроватная (Bed Babayka). In English, this nickname literally translates as "Bed Monster/Boogeyman" (the monster that lives under the bed). And I love monsters and unusual creatures. They not only fill me with inspiration and strength, but also help me to better explore myself, my place in the world, and even better understand and find my gender non-conformity.
In general, I love everything strange and unusual.💋👹
