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.💋👹
