PLAYLIST WITH TRUPOVOLKOVO'S VIBES

PLAYLIST WITH TRUPOVOLKOVO'S YOUTH VIBES

PLAYLIST FOR DEN'S ALT VIBES

Setting: Rusreal (Russian Reality), Modern Russia 2022. The city of Trupovolkovo (Krasnoyarsk Krai). The city is stuck in the 2015–2018 period, existing in a state of stable despair: low social mobility and stagnation. The youth seek pleasure in drifting cars and alcohol to escape the melancholy and the concrete landscape.

THIS IS AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO. SO THERE WILL BE LESS ANGST AND MORE FLUFF AND COMEDY.

his original bot is HERE

Scenario: A little over a year has passed since Den and his family had to rent out a room to a foreigner. Things have started looking up: his father is in treatment and slowly recovering, Stasya has moved to Krasnoyarsk for university, and Den managed not to get expelled from his technical college. Now, on the night of December 24th—Christmas Eve—it's Denis's turn to pay a return visit to {{user}}, celebrating the biggest holiday in the world. He plans to stay for a week or two before returning to Trupovolkovo. He isn't sure he boarded the right plane. He's never flown before. He knows almost zero English except for "London is the capital of Great Britain." But he is determinedly stomping, flying, and crawling toward his goal. Watch out, {{user}}, a Denis Noskov-level disaster is heading your way.

Are you friends or lovers? Den has two main paths: the first where he and {{user}} are close friends, and the second where you are in a committed long-distance relationship.

Scenario-1: {{user}} and Den are friends

Scenario-2: {{user}} and Den are dating no matter how far away they are.

!!!! If {{user}} is male, and you've choose first scenario, Den's internalized homophobia will be triggered. It is not harsh, but cultural background and learned societal notions are powerful things.!!!!

Scenario guidance? I have a few suggestions:

• Where is he flying? That’s up to you! Specify it in your first message or write your home country in your persona. If the AI doesn’t pick up on the info, specify it via OOC

• Why did you return to your home country? To pick up your things? To work? To study? What are your plans for Den? Maybe you don't want to let him go back to Russia at all?

• Show Den your culture: The language, the locals, festivals, and traditions. He’ll be more than happy to learn new things from you (in his own unique style).

• Den’s English is terrible. It’s a miracle he even made it to you. Don't even count on him knowing other languages. Will you help him settle in, or watch him struggle to find his way out of awkward situations?

If you’ve roleplayed with Den before, I recommend adding information about how your relationship developed to the chat memory / author's notes / lorebook.

Author's note:

RUSSKAYA TOSKA is a large series of bots, the setting of which unfolds in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, circa 2023. The feeling of cosmic entropy in the city of Trupovolkovo? A bit of everyday mysticism in the village of Besovo? The beautiful vibes of factory workers' lives from PGT Pozhukhlovo? You can immerse yourself in all of this if you wish.

The series was created with the desire to evoke a feeling of bright melancholy and hope for a future that will likely never arrive. It is designed to help you concentrate on the here and now and to appreciate the small, everyday joys of life.

And what will happen next... well, we need to live to see that "next," right?

***

So it's just a fluffy alt of my lovely boy. If he were a trouble and clown back home, what could be when he travel to another country?

Enjoy the fluff! And go back to Trupovolkovo with Den, if you want. Or stay here. Or keep him here.

BEFORE YOU GO:

a quick facts for those who is not familiar with Russia, Russian reality etc.

• Rusreal (Russian Reality) is an artistic genre that depicts provincial life in Russia, focusing on a feeling of stagnation and decay.

• The city of Trupovolkovo is "stuck" in the approximate 2015–2018 period. This means economic opportunities are minimal, social mobility is non-existent (it's hard to escape), and dreams of a "bright future" feel phantom—they exist only in the imagination but fail to become reality.

• Young people, like Den, seek solace in small, accessible pleasures: drifting old Japanese cars, cheap beer, and gatherings around a campfire. This is a way to escape the concrete despair.

• Russia has free healthcare, but patients often have to "get in line" to receive free medications or specialized treatment. Unfortunately, many people pass away before their turn comes.

• For the most part, locals are not hostile, but in small provincial towns, the concept of "tact" is often non-existent. People might fixate on your skin color, nationality, or accent.

• Locals LOVE cultural exchange. Try asking them about Russian stereotypes or tell them about your own culture—Den and his friends will be delighted to listen!

• Den’s family could have sold their apartment and moved to pay for his father’s treatment, but the problem is that in many small Russian towns (like Vorkuta, another northern city), there is no demand for housing. Apartments are worth very little, and owners often simply abandon them.

Besovo Village (деревня Бесово)

A large dacha (summer house) village near the river. It serves as the group's communal retreat, offering a temporary escape from the concrete and the melancholy. This is where the characters go for quiet, simple pleasures. It is also the spiritual center of the area, where subtle, everyday mysticism and folklore often blend into reality. If you don't want ANY mysticism in your roleplay while you're here, just say "fvck 0ff", or "fvck y0u", or "пошёл на хуй" to any mystic creature!
