[I'm currently in Georgia, so have some facts about German-Georgian relations]

German-Georgian relations refer to diplomatic, economic and cultural ties between Germany and Georgia, which have been developing for several centuries. Germany declared the independence of the Georgian Democratic Republic after World War I and was one of the first countries to recognize the newly formed state in 1918, making it a protectorate of the German Empire. Bilateral relations were interrupted due to the forced annexation of Georgia to the Soviet Union in 1922, but were restored on April 13, 1992 after the collapse of the USSR. Georgia has an embassy in Berlin, and Germany has an embassy in Tbilisi.

Hetalia headcanon!

———————

America and Georgia know one another exceptionally well. They aren’t as close friends as they once were, but they were close at a certain point in time.

During the Wild West era, Georgian horsemen (under the title of ‘Russian Cossacks’ - as Georgia was under the Russian Empire at this time), would participate in shows and circuses. They were also called Cossacks due to Cossacks having a colorful reputation.

These riders GREATLY influenced American Cowboy culture. To the point many events done in rodeo were introduced by them!

In particular with trick riding. Including the fact that the Georgian’s wore traditional costume while doing their stunts, colorful outfits and costumes became a staple of trick riding.

They were extremely popular and even Theodore Roosevelt loved them! To the point that the Georgians were probably the most popular part of the shows.

———————

They first joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in London, toured the rest of Europe with the group, and even participated in the Chicago World Fair!

After the First World War and the Russian Revolution, many stayed in areas like Chicago and had families of their own. Though sadly, many of that returned, were accused often of being American spies and were imprisoned or exiled.

As well as many of the gifts they’d been given and things they brought back being confiscated.

All with the majority of them having to destroy any evidence of their time abroad😕 - though sometimes they’d write odd titles on the backs of photographs to be able to keep them. One notable example being a photograph of a rider with a cowboy, that on the back states, “Proletarians of all the countries, unite!”

Another being of several riders in a car in New York stating, “Gurian riders united with local asylees”.

———————

Overall, with Hetalia, I picture America and Georgia having at least cordial relations on a personal level (removing politics). You don’t spend so much time around someone and not form at least basic bonds of comradery!

It’s Georgian Independence Day!

Colonial Florida, Carolinas, & Georgia

CW: depictions of violence

Just sharing some information on some of the southern states I have worked on.

I’ll start with Carlisle “Carl” Graves/ South Carolina & Margaret “Maisie” Ferguson / North Carolina. They’re half siblings. Carl’s father is probably some sort of English county personification (most likely Dorset), and his mother is an English woman with some French Huguenot heritage from Barbados who migrated with her family to South Carolina. Given the fact she’s in the tidewater south and given her class, having a kid out of wedlock was taboo so I imagine his father arranged for her to marry a man, who is of a northern English / Scottish background. They end up moving to North Carolina’s back country to be with his family, and have Maisie. In my lore, there is some discrimination, or prejudice especially in this period against personifications born to human parents. I imagine most settler colonial personifications have human parents, but the few that don’t like Carl, that has 1 personification parent, I believe that gives him some social clout. Also I decided to make North Carolina younger because tbph South Carolina was the seat of power and colonial North Carolina didn’t really get going without South Carolina. I also don’t go by earliest permanent settlement for a state-level oc, it doesn’t always make sense to me for a variety of reasons.

Anyways Carl is a bit controlling, and he’s more of a tidewater southerner, and Maisie loves her brother but doesn’t appreciate his controlling behavior. Also one final note on carl, he can come off a bit cold but he’s quite the stereotypical ideal of a southern gentleman. Charming. Polite. Etc. Maisie is more of an Appalachian ngl. I’ll discuss Maisie another time. But Carl’s , and his friend/neighbor, Curtis Bartlett/ Georgia childhood was marked by constant fights with the Spanish and their colonies especially Louisa Flores / Spanish Florida.

Obvs, that isn’t a great situation for a kid to find themselves in, and it does impact Carl’s controlling behavior and also makes him rather jealous of Alfred later. Alfred wasn’t always the US in my lore, and Carl believed that he would’ve been elected/ selected by his peers to represent this new country given Carl’s history and background. Also one other thing is prior to the Revolution, Alfred was not universally liked by his states. Actually he’s never been universally liked by his states lol. Anyways Carl does resent Alfred for a number of years.

I split Florida into two because it didn’t make sense to have 1 continuous Florida given the fact that most Floridanos (the Spanish settlers) leave during Florida’s British colonial period. Louisa ends up having a kid with an Anglo-American settler from the colonial backcountry, this kid is Elena/ Elaine Moore, who comes to represent the US state of Florida. I think Louisa hides the fact that Elaine is her kid for both their sakes since Elaine comes out really pale in comparison. I’ll discuss Elaine more in the future, she is 110% Florida woman tho lol, but sometimes you’ll see me draw her with much lighter skin and that’s cause like if Elaine isn’t going outside and tanning highkey she passes as a white woman.

White passing and its history is something I want to explore more in my lore, but yeah that’s all I’m gonna leave it with the basic info on these southern states. I will say out of all them, Maisie / North Carolina & Carl / South Carolina are major players in my Nor’easter lore lol

It be like that sometimes 🇬🇪🇬🇪

POV you said russia fights colonialism

[objection-zero]

What if I showed you guys my Hetalia OCs for the 50 states that I've been working on for the past 2 months?

👀👀

Delaware:

- Overly stressed all the time, he has a complex where he needs to feel important. So he opts to do work that would normally fall on the other 49 so he can seem important to them.

- He's the busyman of Delmarva, he gets everything squared away.

- He has the biggest, most effective puppy dog eyes in the world. They're just big and sad and it's hard to say no!

Pennsylvania:

- Very active, has a gym in her home for sure even though she prefers to go outside and work out.

- She and Delaware are very close, as the first two states they became good friends (and New Jersey!). She does her best to protect Delaware when she can.

- Very straightforward, she doesn't mess around. You always know what to expect from her.

New Jersey:

- Loud. So very loud. Always wearing gaudy makeup and unappealing clothing.

- She's very loyal as a friend though–her and New York hang out constantly, with half of their time dedicated to debating something or other loud enough for everyone around them to hear.

- She and New York have been in a battle over the ownership of the Statue of Liberty for a long time. Since the statue is technically on an island that belongs to her, but New York will not give it up. She owns the gift shop.

Georgia:

- One of my favorite states, I love her and her design very dearly.

- I like to think of her as a Mary Sue type, where she's always busy and has an overwhelming amount of work to handle, but she does it all so easily and so effectively that you'd never guess how much she does.

- Also, she owns a peach orchid absolutely.

Connecticut:

- "Um, actually—🤓👆" embodied.

- Everyone is sick of how entitled he is, because he acts like he's so much more intelligent than everyone.

- Which is funny because he is really really smart, but still not as smart as he pretends to act.

- He's one of the only states that's friends with Ohio.

Massachusetts:

- Do not utter the word "revolution" around this man or he will go nuts.

- Very quick to act, very quick to anger. He likes to set things on fire—he always carries a lighter on him— and argue. If he ever came face to face with England, it would probably go very badly.

- He despises tea, to the point he physically cannot drink it.

Maryland:

- The mediator of Delmarva, this man is the master of solving problems. He's the sweetest.

- Also, the best chef in the country aside from Louisiana and I cannot stress that enough. You know this man has a BIG kitchen in his house.

South Carolina:

- The bimbo of the country okay.

- I just love the idea of her being so determined to be a farmer, but struggling so much because she's just not designed to be a farmer. But she won't give up even though she probably should.

- She's good friends with Georgia but her and North Carolina definitely have a rivalry going on.

New Hampshire:

- Can this man calm down? Please?

- He basically bounces off the walls, definitely has ADHD, and always down to do somethint stupid.

- He spends a good portion of his time bugging Vermont because she's easy to annoy. New Hampshire and Vermont are very close though. The siblings ever.

Virginia:

- I had to make one of them emo okay.

- She's the confident leader of Delmarva for sure. As the first state colonized, she's got a good heart for leadership. She's the state that works the closest with America directly.

- Despite being emo, she's very sweet.

Ahhh Image limit. Check repost for the other states!

More of my girl Georgia <3

She got a lot more attention than I thought she would haha. Maybe I should make some hcs for her?

[moicat]

Some more 'lore' for Melodica.

I should probably mention around this time that Turkey is probably still the Ottoman Empire, so ignore him being called Turkey here that was a mix-up lmao.

Basically, Melodica (my made-up country oc) is sandwiched between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. So, this causes some 'ping-pong' with whose house she's staying at, with the fluctuating territories. This is all literally made up and based on me scrubbing through maps for fun. Oh, Georgia is also in this comic, it's odd designing countries that are not officially designed in Hetalia. But I tried my best. The first two images would probably take place in modern times when the two are on better terms. (Mel may have picked up a certain intimidation tactic over the years...)

[doueverwonder]

ughhh I wanna write something short so I can post writing but I am plagued by visions too long to be ficlets or even one shots.

[kornealla]

Does anyone remember *those* Hetalia fans that used to draw personified versions of the post-Soviet countries as a one big happy family with Russia being “the father” (barf)? And the countries that now actively hate Russia as “the rebellious teenagers”? Or worse when they would make cringey comics/fanfics about the fall of the Soviet Union and turn into a fucking pity party for Russia and his “ex-friends” (colonies).

Why the hell did the fandom encourage that shit?

Here are mochis of my state OCs (+ Staten Island)

RusGruz/RusGeo

Because like, I know that their relationship has more bumps than anything and is pretty toxic, but at the same time IT'S SO GOOD LIKE.... Russia fixating on Georgia during the romanticism since she was the only one from Caucasus that was in his league, and Georgia who was heavily into him but feels betrayed but at the same time she still has a soft spot for him.

And really I could go on for hours how much I love their relationship and that this ship is the greatest ship of all ships and I do not accept any criticism because we all know im right.

And maybe one day I will post 2746282 pages long explanation why I love this ship with all my headcanons about them.
